Am Employe Causes a Racine Stock
Company Trouble.
Racine, Wis, Oct. BE W.. Bueth-
ner, who has sued the Melissa Proofiing
company for $4,000 alleged to be due
for services and other claims, testified
before a court commissioner today. Mr..
Buethner had written out formula of
the preparation which he applied to
cloth to make it rain proof This form
ula was placed in the vaults of Il Chi
cago bank.
According TO the terms of his contract
with the company he was to deliver
the formula when certain conditions
had been fulfilled At a meeting Of
the directors of the company, Mr..
Buethner presiding, a resolution was
passed that the formula was to be
transferred to another vault and there
after to be accessible only to three 9th
er members Of the company.
But Mr.. Buethner had already alb
stracted the formula and substituted
a paper in its place bearing the in
scription, Him that We seek has risen
and is in safe place. l now rest III
peace for the three years hard labor. p
He gave as his reason for removing
the true formula that the company
owed him back salary, but either could
not or would not tell anything more
definite about it.

The Trade Situation Queer One
Country Still Waiting.

New York, Oct. 13.-R. G. Dun 4
Cos weekly review of trade says the
country has been waiting. While the
uncertainty has prevailed men have not
known what to do with safety, and SO
have done as little as they could.
Wheat has weakened LA cents,
though the government report would
indicate yield Of only 291, 100000
bushels, so small as to warrant much
higher price.
Corn advanced a quarter of cent,
pork products being unchanged. Oil
has risen a cent and coffee is unchang-
ed Cotton stands just where it did
a week ago. The demand for wooden
goods is not Il third of the usual mag
nitude and the sales of wool at the
three chief markets for last week We're
2.50o,452 pounds against 100000 last
year.
The situation is a strange one. 1t
perpleNes the ablest dealers.

ceeded Sleooao and eighty-four ex-
ceeded 5000 ccch. but less than 500,

WANTS A RECEIVER.
Duluth, Mesaba & Northern Railroad
Said to be Insolvent.

Duluth, Mimi, Oct 12.-Morris, Ship
ley & Company, of FaribauIt, bridge
builders, have petitioned the court for
Il receiver for the Duluth, Mesaba s.
Northern railroad, alleging that the
road is insolvent, that it defaulted on
the last payment Of interest on the
bonds and has Illegally favored some
of it's creditors by paying them in full.
The plaintiffs have claim Of $27 ,14S
against the road. The Central Trust
company and Metropolitan Trust COM
pany, of New York, who hold the
bonds are made co-defendants. There
is no doubt that behind the suit is the
Great Minnesota Iron company which
desires to break up the great combine
controlling the Mesaba road and
known as Lake Superior consolidated
iron mines.
An attempt was made some time
ago to get the creditors to consent to
put the company in the hands of a re
ceiver, but without success. The mat
ter will come up for Saturday. 1t is
not believed the scheme will be sue
cessful.

Ashland, Wis, Oct. 14.-The city
council had a story session last night
discussing City Treasurer McDonnells
action in refusing to transfer money
from tne hydrant and firemen's fund

in the hydrant and firemen's fund
were in the banks and to transfer ii
to the general fund would result in its
being drawn to pay street laborers.

Washington, Oct. Ii. In the senate
this morning no less than three notices
Of resolutions to amend the rules Wrr,
given, and Mr.. llill democrat. Il. NeN
York, advocated a change of rule OF
which he had heretofore given notice
as 10 the counting as present senators
VINO are present and are paired.
The first half Of todays session WAS
occupied by Nh Morgan, Of Alabama
IN Il personal explanation defending
himself from Il charge of ignorance OF
scripture, made by 4 New York paper
and from structures by the Montgomery
Advertiser for opposition to the I'm.
conditional repeal OF the Sherman act
lie denied that he has intiuatcd his
intention to vote against the "uncun-
. diti&G&H' repeal of the act but he would
vote against its conditional" repeal as
proposed in the Voorhees, substitute,
which was Il more injurious and COW
ardlS mallcShift than the original one.
The tangic resulting in adjournment OF
the senate last night was the result
of a cleVerly devised scheme. the work
of Dubois and Teller
They discovered that While a quorum
was present for I'll purposes where
pairs could be diSTcgarded. there WAS
not a quorum on points demanding the
observation Of pairs.
Teller also discovered that the rules
provided that public document which
hail 0nte htCa read could not again be
read except by unanimous consent
PETER was speaking at the time and
soon iished up 4 public document. Tel
ler raised point CT order against the
reading. The chairman decided the
point and IN appeal was taken. This
was what the silver men were looking
for. and a roll cal ordered showed no
quorum present
Then the repeal men stepped into an
otne" trap. Villas tried to force Dubois
TO vote. After some debate an effort
was made to take i vote that the
senlt" should not excuse Dubois from
voting, rcsuIting iii another lack of Il
quorum, and the senate was forced to
adjourn.
III It1IitIiiS NlitStlJIt IL tlt clIbl "
make Dubois vote, and it is Villas in
tcntiOn to have Dubois cpnsurcd. This
it is stated will bring out Il nice con
stitutionai question and develop Il de
bate which the silver en claim will
last Il month ut least.
Considering the late hour Of the adj
tournament there was Il liberal attend
ancc ut the opening of the senate this
morning.
The silver purchase repeal bill WAS
taken up ut 12:45 and the vicc-prcSidcnt
set about disentangling the parliament
AIRY twist into which the 'nnl,c got It
self last night. BY Il vote of - to 81
the senate refused to excuse Dubois.
The name OF the Idaho senator was
then called. Dubois remained in his
seat silent.
There was Il roll call because ut Il
like stage Of proceedings last night no
quorum voted and no less than - re
sponded, being - more than Il qurum,
and by far the largest number that
has appeared during the session.

His name is Tom Toback.
The detectives started ON the trail of
the robbers about a week ago and have
trcked them step by step to lola The
bullet taken from Thompson's leg by
DR. Greytenholm, Of lola, will figure
as strong piece of circumstantial

was fired through.
