Two more Hedges-Garretson enter
prises in Sioux City have gone to the
wall and the end is not yet. Although
men familiar with the affairs of the
two millionaire operators tried to
shut their eyes to the actual nature
and extent of the collapse. they are
10Y ready to admit that they see no
redemption for any institution pro-
jected and fathered by the capitalists,
unless it be their railroad ventures.
The two assignments were made by
the Sioux City Dry Goods company
and the Sioux City Dressed Beef and
Canning company. The dry goods
company was capitalized at $500, 900
and occupied six floors in one Of the
Boston Investment company's big
buildings. The assignment was made
to w. f. Thomas for the benefit of
the creditors in general. The liabil-
tiles are placed at 1922, 00O and the as
sets at s37l,l79. The heaviest item
Of liability is twenty-five notes due
the defunct loan and trust company,
the face value being $4,000. In the
assets are figured 800, 900 of unpaid
subscriptions to the company's cap
ital stock, and 80, 900 TO the Union
Loan and Trust company. Beyond
the trust company's claim the in
debtedness is largely due to real es
tate jobbers and manufacturers in
small amounts.
About 5 o'clock the dressed bee
and canning company made a genera
assignment TO Henry J. Taylor, with
out preferences as 10 creditors, with
liabilities o fs2l5,67l and assets placed
at s2I ,7l6, exclusive of real estate, not
valued. This C was formerly
the beef-killing end of the Haakin

Married Her Hero.

New York Dispatch: A carriage
ratified up to the door OF Justice
Macs office on Jersey City heights at
"a late hour Thursday and a young
couple alighted. The man was tall
and athletic looking, the woman a
brunette and very pretty. Their
mission, they stated, was TO get
married. After the ceremony the
bride handed the justice $50. The
groom gave his name as George
Joseph Hermann, aged 80, of Long
Island, and the bride said sine was
Ansoinette Beck, OF Lyons, France.
MI. Hermann said he was formerly
an officer in the German army and
met Miss Beck while the regiment
was quartered nea her fathers house
during the Franco-P russian war. He
had saved her life one day when her
horse ran away, but her father,
Guillamune Beck, a rich silk mer-
chant, forbade any acquaintance be-
tween them. After the war Her.
mann resigned and came ID this
country. Two months ago Beck died
and a week later his wife followed
him. Antoinette was left alone with
a fortune of 100000 francs. She came
TO this country, secured board and
sent for Hermann, who has been
working on a farm on Long Island.

adjoining London before it was OF any

| almost the center of the great metrop-
| oils they have been rolling in wealth,
owing to the enormous rents collect
ed. In order to demonstrate their
bower. or from motives Of natural
meanness, they maintain a number OF
gates in what is known as the West
ern Central District, which lies be-
tween the two great depots OF the
Southwestern and Northwestern rail-
roads. The gates are generally open,

j. Ellen viii be There.

1t leaks out that a surprise is in
store for the representatives OF the
English Woman's Christian Temper
ance union that are to assemble in
London in annual convention a few
weeks hence. Hitherto this organiza-
ton has been ~fraternally affiliated to
the corresponding association in this
country, and OF which Miss Willard
is president, and the latter has been
for several months in England
assisting Lady Henry Somerset in her
temperance crusade.
The non-partisan Women's Christ
ian Temperance Union of this
country, however, has taken it into
its head that it is as much entitled TO
recognition by the English temper
ance women as Miss Willard's
organization, and although strenuous
efforts have been made to keep the
fact secret IL leaked out tcday that
a delegation of the non-partisan
women, headed by tne redoutable j.
Ellen Foster, will be In London on
the opening day of the convention
equipped and prepared for a red hot
fight il need be to secure recognition
from the British element as the one
simon pure combination of tenn
perance women on this side of the
water that is entitled to The fraternal
recognition of their Transatlantic
sisters. j Ellen Foster has always
been a thorn in the side of the mild
tempered angelic sister Willard, and
if the pair of them have an
opportunity of occupying the same
platform there is certain to be sCme
fun that will be decidedly edifying to
the English sisterh9od.

GREAT SNAKE STORY.
A Reptile TAree Inches and n Half Long
Fouad In . Horses Eys-


DR.. William Sheppard, a veterinary
surgeon of Sheepshead Bay, per-
formed a feat in surgery OF which
only a few similar cases are on record.
Some time ago'a' common works horse
owned by Fred Graes, the local
butcher, showed unmistakable signs
OF righteousness; which later became
so marked that he was well-nigh
unmanageable. The trouble seemed
to be in the right eye, over which a
film had grown, making the member
useless. Graes called in DR.. Shep-
psVu, who washed the eye with a
lotion, which soon removed the film
examining the eye DR.. Sheppard
was astonished to see a lively little
object wriggling about contentedly
Inside the pupil. He Immediately
knew this to be the cause OF ali the
trouble, it being a case known among
veterinary surgeons, but rarely e
and which almost invariably results
in the death of the afflicted animal.
DR.. Sheppard madean ineision in the
corner Of the eye, next TO the nose,
AMI inserted a small silver hook.
After many attempts the hook
caughs the snake in the middle and
he was pulled out into she hand of a
waiting assistant. He was fully 81
incheslong and was not wider around
than'a horse hair. DR.. Sheppard will
send the reptile TO a medical
university at Glasgow. Scotland
He Is certain that the horse will
survive, although he may lose the
sight of his right eye.

Builders and contractors of Buffalo
are uneasy v the signs OF discon-
tent in labor organizations. From
surface appearances there is going TO
be a general strike Of building trades
unions unless the demands of the
plasterers, bricklayers and stone
masons are granted. All the plaster
ers except nfty-one have struck for
$3.50 per day, an advance of tfty
cents. B~ricklayers and masons have
struck for eight hours per day, with
present wages-s3.5o. Carpenters are
talking of demanding higher wages,
and unless the bosses and employees
get together and settle their
differences there is likely TO be a
general swike.
