Stealing Twenty Millions.
From the New York Tribun



When Gould and Fisk went into the
direction of the Erie railway, in 1867,
The whole amount of stock ...........$25ll2l t
Total stock and funded debt 5il l3t
Since that time the managers have
increased the stock and debt to the
following figures:
s staSSSh6ea aspr 81 sSs so
Total present stock and funded debt 49, it
Thus, within a period Of five years,
and since Gould and Fisk en- tered the
management, they have increased the
stock of the Company SOL ,425, 100, and
the funded debt $3,96S, $50, making a
total increase since 1867 of sos, 1894 ,4S0.
The method of increasing the stock was
this bonds to the amount OF SOL ,OOO,-
600, or thereabouts, were issued, which
were convertible, and were converted
into stock. This was stock was sold in
the market, as Mr.. Sherman stated be-
fore the Assembly Committee, at an av-
erage, as he supposed, of about 30 cents
on the dollar. By this operation they
saddled the Company with debt of
SOL 100000, and obtained some $780,
1000 in cash, not one dollar of which
is shown to have gone into the treasury
OF the Company. These figures may be
verified by the sworn statement of the
officers of the road in the Office of the
State Engineer. In comparison with
this gigantic robbery, the stealing of
100000 of English shares sinks into
insignifcance, and even the splendor of
the Tammany frauds is dimmed.

The Death Rate.

An examination of the life statistics
of the census of this country and of
Europe reveals many interesting parti-
culars. The number of deaths in Eu-
rope every year is one out of every for
ty-t" inhabitants, or2.3S-l00 per cent,
nearly double the average death rate in
the United States, which is only one for
every eighty-one inhabitants, or 1928 100
per cent. The leading countries of Eu-
rope present the following annual bills
of mortality:

MEDICINE FOR THE HAIR.-When the

seems inevitable, it is proof that disease

medication is necessary. The only restora-

last forty years, has done more to prevent
the loss of the hair, to renew it when thin

sexes, than all other preparations pretending
to the same properties, brought out during
that long interval. The public, after being
repeatedly deluded by the wil-o'-the wisps

A Bear HINT.

When | was boy | couldn't see the
consistency of my father making me to
school, when he wouldn't 90 himself.
The teacher one day used up rattan
enough on me to make a dozen cane
bottom chairs, because l couldn't tell
how many frigids there are in the frigid
zone. Next day played hockey. went
to gun store, and says !, ~ want a
gum" Says the fellow, How many
barrels Says |, 81 don't want any
barrels, want a gum"
So he gave me gun with two holes
running lengthways, then | bought a
pound of powder, and went a cunning.
/ got out of town and loaded my gun.
| poured the pound of powder into the
two long holes. Then l put two Heralds
in one side, and two Iri6unes in the
other. Then | rammed 'em down till
they touched bottom, when | rested my
gun across rail fence and waited fer
something to come within range.
didn't care a tinker's darn whether it
was grasshopper or COW, so long as it
was alive ard in the enjoyment of per
feet health. Pretty soon little bird
came squealing and buzzing around in
the vicinity of the gun. | pulled both
triggers and:
There came a burst of thunder sound,
The boy-oh! where was he?
Ask of the winds that far around
With fragments strew the sea-
1t wasn't good gun, and my remains
were taken home in tin kettle. The
pieces were carefully collected and
sewed together. Says l, stranger, just
look at my nose; would you believe that
was once thumb?' Says he. "No,
wouldn't" "Well," said ], "you
guessed right; it never was" And
further remarked that when | was all
sewed together | revived, and found
had been sewed up with sewing ma.
chimes, and in the room stood every
sewing machine maker in the United
States waiting for certificates. One
wanted me to write that his machine
ran and sewed the easiest; another that
his made the least noise another that
his worked the smoothest; and I'm
darned ii one fellow with patent hem
mer didn't propose to rip the stitches in
my neck and hem my head on, to show
how perfectly his machine worked.
But what agitated me most was to find
the fellow there who lent me the gun.
He wanted me to write that for safety,
durability, and lightness, his was the
best make of gun known. Finally |
signed a paper stating that any party in
search of gun that after the fatigues
of days hunt would cause them very
little trouble in getting it home, would
do very we'll to get their guns of him.
But" says the stranger, what made
the gun burst ~
"Well," says l, 81 always laid it to
the obstinacy of that darned Tribune. 1t
was always an easy matter to move the
Herald, but the Tribune always was as
stubborn as mule, and when that
pound of powder got on fire the Herald
went. The Tribune stuck, and something
else had to 60, SO went too"
But says the stranger, 81 dom
see where the bear hunt comes in"
"Why." said | "don't you see?
didn't shoot anything; and that made
it bare hunt.

Means What He Says.

Though combinations strong as
proofs of Holy Writ" and as numerous
as the sands on the sea shore, were pro
duced to prove that DR.. Pierce, the pro-
prietor of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, is
in earnest and means what he says, when
he offers $500 reward for any case of
Catarrh which he cannot cure, yet there
would be some skeptics and foges who
would continue to shout, "Humbug ~
HUMBUG!" " 1t cannot be, because DR..
Homespun says Catarrh cannot be
cured" Now this DR.. Homespun is the
Identical, good natured old fellow, who
honestly believes that this earth is not
round or spherical, but fiat as a slap
jack" and does not turn over, other
wise the water would be all spilled out
of Deacon Bascom's millpond. But as
Economical science has positively de
monstrated and proven that DR.. Home
spun is wrong in surprising this earth TO
be fiat and stationary, and medical sci
ence is daily proving the fact that he is
no less mistaken and behind the times
in reference to the durability of Catarrh.
In short, it has been positively proven
that this world moves and that medical
science is progressive-the opinion of DR..
Homespun to the contrary notwith-
standing. That DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy will cure Catarrh, thousands
who have used it attest.
Then buy it, and use it, in doubt do not stand,
You will find it in drug stores all over the land.

Our Great Inland Metropolis Coming
Ont of the Fire.

Chicago merchants, before the fire, had a
firm hold upon the trade Of the Northwest,
acquired by long continued efforts to meet
its wants at the lowest possible prices. The
whole country is interested in having this
city Of our oton making retain its CONNER
cial position. Competition gives US cheap
goods, and it has been feared that the fire
would cripple her energies. But we assure
our readers that the principal houses are pre-
pairing for heavier business than ever done
before. The old and deservedly popular
house of John V. Farwell & Co. now occupy
building put up since the fire, lS5xl9O feet,
six stories high-nearly double the room
formerly occupied. This would indicate that
they intend to maintain their well earned
reputation, and we are sure that after being
twice reduced to ashes in two years, our mer-
chants will second their efforts with such
recognition as their energy deserves Com.
