A lovely assortment was displayed Tuesday all representatives of the new crops. Per- haps the cleanest and freshest looking of the bunch were the California almonds. Beautiful. They are both soft shell and hard, the first being considered the most refined. They are going to make a nice little rate to the grocers of from 13% to 15 cents according to the number taken. Later on we may expect the nuts from 8pain, which are perhaps a little better in the soft #hell game. The new filberts can only talk to the other nuts in the sign language, for they come from-Sicily. They are lovely this year, but only intend to sell for i1 ur 12 cents, because there are yet plenty of old ones on hand. The new Bra- =ills and the Chile walnuts get on fine to- gether and will mingle in many a nut sundae and caromel. The South American walnuts are jobbing at 12 or 13 cents, a cording to quality, Of the bleached and perhaps sweeter California wainuts, none are now for sale. The old Brazillans have practically succumbed to the hardy north- ern appetite, o that new-comers will cash in at & 11% to 12% wholesale price. Texas is the birth-place of the pecans which have invaded the market. Something in the early life of these nuts has caused them to encircle themselves with a bitter shell of pessimism, but when this is penetrated they are found to be indeed likeable. For commercial purposes they are rated as mediums, large and gumbo and are marked to sell at from 10 to 12 cents. The new chestnuts which have come to spend the winter are very handsome and sound and will make a very pretty dining room plcture framed with a bunch of ralsins. Chest nuts are southerners and do a 1 to 15- cent wholesale business. Imported bulls- eye chestnuts are not due untll Christmas. Cocoanuts will be in next week to return the stare of the curlous with unblinking eyes. The black walnuts do not put on any side about forelgn ancestors, but they get in the cake just the same. Now 18 the busy season for the nuts as the grocers are stocking up for winter's business. The Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons will cut a big hole in the store and business will continue brisk all winter.

Many drink tea and coffee against thielr better judgement because they require a hot drink at meal: time, They know that by .the use of fea and coffee they are only drugging themselves but they struggle along and continue to use one or the other.’ To these people Postum Cereal Coffee is a great help for many people find ywell boiled Postum su- perfor in flavor td coffee to say nothing of its great health restoring qualities. The effect upon those who leave off & and coffec and take on Postum iy very marked for the old time coffee ails such as heart trouble, kidney disease, nervous- ness and other lll¥ soon disappear as it by magic. The Postum makes new red blood and this Is shown in the rosy cheeks and clear complexion that replace the blotched sallow skin of the ceffee drinker. A young school miss of Alva, Okla., says of Postum: “I have used it naw for over a year and my complexion and general heaith show the change. Before that time I drank tea and coffee and my complexion was sal- low and muddy. I also had almost con- stant dull headaches. 1 realized that I must give up tea and coffee but hung onto them because I felt the need of & hot drink at meal times. “One day I heard Postum so well spoken of 1 decided to try it and I bless the day 1 did so. I dropped coffee and took up Postum and now my dull headaches have disappeared, my complexion is fresh and rosy, eyes bright and mind clear.

QUESTIONS FACT OF FISCAL INQUIRY Liberal Leader Replles to Chambet- in speceh Which Refleets the alling Opinion of olitical Associates. LONDON, Oct tonight at Sheft ~Lord Rosebery spoke ld, whither he went in order to defibitely record his opposition to Mr, Chamberlain's fiscal policy He was greeted with the utmost euthusiasm by an immense audlence, which he held in rapt attention for an hour and a half. His lordship delivered a characteristic spaech of brilliant rhetorical denunclation of protection, interspersed with clever and caustic ‘allusions to Mr. Chamberlain and the predicament in which he had placed the government The earl sald he doubted if there had ever been any fiscal inquiry. The ministry had probably Investigated, not the nation's commerce, but the constituencles. e dep- recated a policy of retallation which would land the empire in a contest with every na- tion in the clvilized world, a contest to which Armagadon would be a friendly joust. He held that free trade had not tailed, but had been a great success. The new policy Instead of solidifying would tend to dislocate and probably dissolve the emplre. His lordship warned his hearers that they could not try such a poliey and-drop it if it falled. Protection once established could not be uplifted and would bring in its train trusts, monopolies and probably corruption If the country wanted to better ltself, he continued, let it cultivate a sclentific spirit and better education, and above all keep the unlverse for a reservoir of food and raw materfal Think Colonies Not Ugselfinh, He ridiculed the jdea that' the colonles would consent not to establish new indus- tries for the benefit of the United King- dom. A fair and practical imperial tarift could not be devised and heaven protect them from the bad blood and jealousies that such an attempt would engender. He was very doubtful about the proposition that a fiscal should precede a political union. In any event what Mr. Chamberlain's triends ignored was that everything in the empire had been strong and successful be- cause it free and spontaneous. Lord Rosebery quoted Sir Wiifrid Laurier to the effect that not restricied trade, but only the most absolute freedom, political and commercial, would succeed in building up the empire, In conclusion, his lordship sald that he could not forget the long agony with which the nation had passed from the protective system, which had brought it from the verge of famine and ruin into the better and freer conditions now prevalling. They could not risk this splendid result on a hazard of the political die. They could not leave the brilllant known under any guldance of prophetship for the dark un- known. A storm of cheers greeted the carl's closing remarks. Some New Omicials. Lofd Londonderry has been appointed lord president of the councll In succession to the duke of Devonshire. Tt is understood that his lordship will retain 'the portfollo of education and his new appointment will thus make little practical difterence to his position in the cablhot. RN L . Vi THINK CRABTREE IS INNOCENT Superintendent Pears Others Do Not Belleve Reports of Daplieity. Members of the Board of Education and officers of the school distriot of Omaha say that J. W. Crabtree, inspector of accredited high schools for *he University of Ne- braska, has never sougnt to use the In- fluence of his position with them to s cure the employment of teachers from his agoncy. That the inspector would be In a position to do so If he desired, the author- ities deny. His friends here say they do not belleve he is gullty of the coercion charged by W. D. Smith of St. Helena in a signed letter to The Bee. Superintendent Pearse said: “It s true thit Mr. Crabtree and Mr. Towne are nssociated not only in a teach- ers’ cmployment bureau, but in a period- 4dcal cilled the Nebraska Teachers, and a publishing business as ‘well. Mr. Crab- ‘treé, by Virtue of his position as inspector ‘ot ‘high schools, is In & position to grant favors to school boards if he so desires, but T have never heard that he used his ‘plabe ‘an a club.’ The fact that scores of ‘university ‘graduates are being employed throughout the state without any connec- tion with=the ageéncy would seem to in- dicate that the reports ate false. So far as Omiha 1s concerned we have employed tweénty or more university graduates as tenchers since the Crabtree-Towne agency was started, and T think on one occasion only’ was the applicant recommended by the bureaw. If the charges made by Mr. Smith are true It seems strange that I have not heard something about them'frem other school men in the state. Knowing the inspector as I do, I doubt the truth of the statements. A member of the Omaha board, who is one of the high school committee, sald: “Inspector Crabtree never has tried to use any influence over the committee In se- lecting teachers and never even suggested a name. It would bp useless for him to try to force anyone upon us. He could not discredit the local high school even though he wanted to. As Inspector of schools Mr. Crabtree examines and determines whether or not graduates may enter the State university without passing a test of schol- arship. The standing of the local high school would prevent any {mposition of this kind." —— GERMANS SEND OVER FOR CORN Raising Hogs Extensively and Look Peter Hofeldt, chalrman of the Board of County Commissioners, is in receipt of in- quiries from heavy feeders of live stock in Germany, soliciting Information as to the qualitysof the 1903 corn crop in this state. Mr. Hofeldt on his recent visit to Ger- many, bis native heath, was surprised to discover the extensive growth of the live stock industry, with especlal reference to hogs, cattle and horses. Great care was ob- served in the rearing of hogs and in the effort to prepare them quickly for an early market. To that end they were fed on corn, the major portion of which is being pur- chased in this country. The introduction of the American hog inte Germany - has caused the Germans to attempt the rearing of the hog on large scales, Cleanliness being regarded as an essential to the procuring of & good market and ready sales, the more extensive breeders have housed their hogs in spacious brick bulldings and from 100 to 300 hogs are fed in each of these. Corn is not cuitivated to any extent in Germany and heavy pur- chases are made In the United Bi Mr. Hoteldt conferved with a number of. the leading breeders while in Germany and is now in correspondence with them relative to this year's corn crop. The reports which Mr. Hofeldt is making to the inquiries from his fathetland are not the most encourag- ing, as the conditions have not been such as to permit of the best crop this year. He has therefore advised his friends across the waters to buy all the old corn they may need. The crop this year, according to Mr. Hofeldt's view of the matter, is not large and has not ripened satistactorily. It was Mr. Hofeldt's bellef that the rais- ing of the hog In Germany is conducted on more selentific and hyglenic principles than in this country and he expects to see the day when the heavy importations of pork to Germany will bo merely nominal. REMODEL AND SUBMIT PLANS City Engineer Rosewater Decides to City Engineer Rosewater has announced that he will again remodel the paving specifications and again submit them to the Board of Public Works, after making all the concessions to the ideas of the other members that he can. It i the in- tention of the engineering department to have the specifications adopted for the re- mainder of 1903 and 1904 so that paving may be started early next spring and all preliminary arrangements made during the winter. According to the paving men there will be between 50,000 and 100,000 yards of street flooring put down next year if arrangements are made so that petitions can be filed and acted upon. It now requires nearly ninety days from the time of filing & petition until the work Is advertised for, Once the specifications are adopted, it s thought petitions will reach the city clerk's office in great num- bers, and the winter may be utilized in getting things under way for early work next season. TO GET AFTER TAX SHIRKERS Commissioner Fleming Declares Many Will Be Asked for Personal Expl ons. “It is assured that many citizens will be called. before the Board of Review to an- swer questions concerning their personal property,” said Tax Commissioner Fleming yesterday. “The returned schedules re- ceived to date show that this will be neces- sary in order to protect the poorer classes. Hardworking and thrifty laborers are re- turning schedules showing sums of money in the bank, while, well-to-do and profes- sional men are disclaiming the possession of any reddy money. In order to reach an equitable assessment it fs certain that the Boafd of Review will have to ‘work hard and conscientiously.” —— INDIAN CASES ARE APPEALED Twenty-One Sent to United States Supreme rt from Judge Munger's Bench, Judge W. H. Munger of the United States district court has granted appeals to the United States supreme court in about twenty Indian land allotment cases on the Winnebago and Omaha reservations. These suits were brought before Judge Shiras against the Indian agents and the United States government to set aside the allot- ments of certain lands to Indians of lands already occupled by other Indlans and who are clalmants thereto. —_—— Soaking Rain TOPEKA, Kan., Oct. 18.—A gentle sonk- rajn, accompanied by wind, has been A ing over this section sihce sundown of Monday, with favorable conditions for a Ccontindince throughout the day.
