Tie other bu1les4ue have referred to was
my fine satire upon the eypedient of 'cook-
ing dividends" thing which became shame
fully frequent Oh the Pacific coast. 0nce
moro, in my self-complacent simplicity, felt
tnat the time had arrived for me to rise up
aid be L re5ormcr. I put this refornatory
satire in the shape Of fearful +" Massacre 1t
Umpire Citv," The San Francisco papers
were making great outcry about the DAney
sil,er-Miuing Company, whose directors had
d. c11rcd cooked" or false, dividend, for
tie purpose OF increasing the value Of their
stock, 90 th.t they could soil out at COM
fcrtable figure md then scramble from under
the tumbling concern. And, while abusing
Tho Daupy. those papera did not forget
to urge lie pubic 70 get nd Of III
their eilyar stocks. and invest in eounLa
and safe San Francisco stocks, such as tba
Spring Valley Water Company, etc. But u&hf
At this unfortunate juncture, behold the
Spring Valley cooked dividend too! And 90,
under the insidious mask Of an invented
"bloody massacre" stole upon the public
nnawares with my scatning satire upon the
dividend-cooking. system. In about bali :
column OF imaginary tnh1man carnage told
how citizen had murdered his wife and nine
Children and then committed suicide. And l
said sly]y, at the bottom, that the sudden
madness Of which this melancholy nsssa-
ere WIS the result, had been brought shout
BY his having allowed himself to be
persuaded by the California papers to
sell his sound and lucrative Nevada
eilver stocks and buy into Spring Valley
just in time to get cooked along with that
company'a fancy dividend, and sink every cent
he bad IN the world All, it was deop, deep
satire, and most ingeniously contrived- But I
made the horrible details 90 carefully and con-
eclentlo1si{ interesting thAt the public stmply
deroured them greedily, and wholly overlooked
the following distinctly stated facts, to wit
The murderer W1s ratfecty we'll Known t9
