eng could induce them to antagoniZe
him; for the doctor of Wall street is
pugnacious. nightly fond of his own
way and an ugly opponent at all
times. While his individual wealth is
small compared with the moneyed
/ strength of the Vanderbilts, he prac-
asSically wields more power in the finan-
sal affairs Of the country than any
fother dozen men.
He controls absolutely the tens upon
tens Of millions of American securi-
ties held by wealthy Englishmen and
English corporations. These investors
give him absolute control of their
American affairs and he can buy or
sell as he pleases. With this great
power always at his beck and cali he
can make or break corporations as he
fancies. But it is always exercised in
the affirmative sense, never in the
negative. This is where Morgan and
Gould differ.

the gambling sense of the word he
could accumulate almost untold
wealth. But he is sturdily and unal-
terably opposed to speculation. The
bubbles OF the bulls and bears on the
floor of the exchange, fighting and
shouting to get the best of an eighth
f1uctuation, he regards as a species of
petty finance.

He is something over six feet in
height, with great breadth of
shoulder, white hair, gray mustache
and heavy features.
Wall street has long recognized him
as its king. Of late years his has
been the master mind which has di-
rected all the great congratulations
in the financial world. He has just
completed the work of restoring to
healthy activity the Richmond Ter
minal system with its tangled ramifi-
cations representing $25O.0OO,0OO worth
of property. Now he is engaged in a
similar work with the Erie road.
Some of His Work.
When the CARROTS became insured
in the woodworking genius of Henry
S. Ives and the Baltimore and Ohio
road was almost ruined, Morgan was
called in almost at the last gasp of
the dying corporation and brought 1t
to life again. 1t is the same story with
the Reading system. When William
H. Vanderbilt needed $3O,OOO,OO0 in
cash to complete the New York Cen
trail road, a dozen years ago, Morgan
took charge of the matter, and through
his English connections secured the
amount from abroad. When the West
Shore road got into trouble, Morgan
took hold, and in the face of fearful
opposition, secured life for it by sell
ing it to the Vanderbilts.
His connection with the 100000, 900
bond syndicate formed for the purpose
of keeping the government gold re-
serve from fading away to nothing,
is of such recent date that it scarcely
needs mention. During the administra-
ton of Rutherford B. Hayes he formed
the syndicate which disposed of the
$780, COO, 600 bond issue, enabling the
government to resume specie payment.
His Many Charities.
There is another side to this man
who handles millions like the ordin-
airy mortal handles dimes. This is his
broad charity. How much he gives a
year will never be known. He always
enforces the strictest secrecy upon the
few who may know of a gift. When
ever a public fund is started for any
laudable' charity, his donation usually
ranks away beyond all others. Some
one gave 100000 toward the building
fund Of the Cathedral of st. John the
Divine, now in process of construction
in the upper end of the city. Those
who claim to know say that Mr.. Nor
gan was the giver.

quainted with the charitable gifts of

The Greatest Victory
Of Them All!

Every race meet this season has result
ed in a victory for Rambler, and the La
Dor Day meet was no exception to the
rule. In fact, it was the grea test victory
of them all. The Rambler won about
everything there was to win.
These areethe straws that show "the
way the wind blows" If you want a
first-class wheel, fast wheal, one that is
built light and has true merit, b,iy a
Rambler.
The winnings of the Rambler have not
been confined to Utah. You probably
have noticed in the daily papers the re-
turns from the meet at Grand Junction.
Colo, wherein Weller and Thatcher car
rled off the class B plums; and this was
no small victory, as they rode in compe-
tition with Colorados crack men. There
were four prizes valued at $175 Our
Weller and Thatcher walked off with
three of them, veAned at $780, leaving just
a smell for their competitors You ought
to be satisfied by this time that the Ram
bier is the best wheel built. Come and
see 'em.

BOMB AT THE CAPITAL.
Internal Machine Picked Up by a
Boy Not Far from the
State House.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 2S.-Securely
locked in the desk of Chief of Police
Heyl of this city is what is supposed to
be a dynamite bomb. 1t was picked up
by a boy in the sts+e capitol park about
200 feet from the building, near the edge
of the sidewalk leading to the west gate,
shortly before 8 o'clock Sunday morning,
and that afternoon was turned over to
police officers. The lad who found the
bomb did not know what it was and car
ried 1t to one of the capitol policemen.
The latter kept it Until the arrival of
Supt. e. e. Morley, who, after a careful
but gentle examination, came to the con-
cluSlon it was an internal machine OF
some XII not TO be tempered with by d
novice and ~thereupon gave it into the Gus
tody of the local officers. The supposed
bomb is about six inches in length and
one inch in diameter. 1t is shaped like
a Roman candle and made of a substance
resembling cardboard. One end is fiat
and the other resembles the smaller end
of a spinning top. a piece of iron about
an inch long protrudes from this end
with a sort of a ferrule at it's base.
Herman J.. Veerhusen, junior member
of the clothing firm of Olson & Veer-
husen, one of the best known merchants
of Madison, is a much scared man to-
night. Two police officers are keeping
close watch of his residence, and Mr..
Neerhusen and family are staying at the
house of a relative. Last Friday after
noon Mrs. Veerhausen found a peculiar
looking article in the front yard. It
was about six inches in length, and in
one end was a plug, while the other ia
pered to a point. Mrs. Veerhusen picked
it up and placed it on the street in front
of the house. Soon after ward a junk
a came along and picked it up and
put it in his cart and drove along. Mrs.
Veerhusen spoke to her husband about
the bomb she had found in the yard
when he returned home, but he laughed
at her fears. He did not say anything
about the matter until yesterday when
he learned of the find in the capitol park.
The clothing firm in which Mr.. Veer-
husen is interested is one of the houses
affected by the recent strike of the
Madison t~ailors.

NO UNION OF CITIES.
Duluth and West Superior Not Anx-
Ious to Work Under One
Government.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 24.-[SpeciaI.1 i
Assemblyman II. @. Sloan of Superior,
while in the city to argue a case before
the Supreme court, said in response to
queries that there was no probability of
anything being done by the joint com
mission recently appointed by the states
Of Wisconsin and Minnesota with a
view to the consolidation of the cities
of Superior and Duluth. II don't know
of a man in SUPERIOR" said Mr.. Sloan,
who wants to have the city annexed
to Minnesota, and l don't suppose Du-
luth wants to make an unconditional sur
render to Superior.
What l would be in favor Of" con-
tinued Mr.. Sloan, would be the crea-
ton of a new state out of upper Michi-
gan and the northern portions Of Wis
consin and Minnesota. The Michigan
peninsula is entirely separate from the
rest of the state and has small voice in
it's affairs. Geographically and CONNER
cially it belongs with Northern Wiscon-
sir. Their we at Superior are about 300
miles from the capital and southern
portion of Wisconsin, and the adjoining
territory in Minnesota is similarly sit
uated. There is ample territory for a
new state without doing any harm to the
three from which it would be taken, and
it would be a state all of whose interests
are more nearly identical than are those
of any of the three as now formed. I
don't suppose, however, that it will
ever be done, as none of the sections
proposed to be withdrawn would be
able to satisfy the state from which they
would be taken"
Mr.. Sloan naturally agreed with the
suggestion that in the event of such a
most excellent place iG which to locate
the caDital.

MRS. ROGERS DISAPPEARS.
Woman of Durrant Case Fame
Leaves Wausau-Mr. Clarke
Sues for Divorce.

Wausau, Wis, Oct. 24.ISpecial.E
Mrs. Susie Rogers, who, it was said left
her home in San Francisco because her
husband would not read the full steno-
graphic reports Of the Durrant case to
her, and who came to Wausau, evidently
found this place too staid and has de-
parted for parts unknown, taking with
her her sister, Mrs. J. G. Clarke, wife of
Justice Clarke of this city. They pur-
chased tickets here for Chicago and that
is all Mr.. Clarke knows of their where
abouts
Yesterday a telegram came from Mr..
Rogers of San Francisco, asking his
wife to return and offering to send
money for her. She had left here and
Mr.. Clarke so notified him. a letter re-
ceived from a sister of Mrs. Rogers at
Oakland, CAL, states that Mr.. Rogers
was a good husband. She had never
seen him under the influence of liquor,
as claimed by Mrs. Rogers, and she
evineed surprise that Mrs. Rogers should
have left such d comfortable home.
AS a result of this ~escapade, Mr..
Clarke yesterday instituted proceedings
for divorce from his wife on grounds of
desertion. He says while he believes
them to be women of good moral char
acter their conduct is too cratic for him.

Situation at Madison Over the t:Hazing''
Scrape Becomes Serious.
Madison, Wis, Oct. 25.-[Special.]-
The reported resignation of Lieut.. Chyno-
weth as a result of the "hazing' scrape
has created quite a stir here. There is
considerable feeling over the report that
he had forwarded a report to Washing
ton advising that military drill be aban-
doned at Wisconsin university. This
would mean a loss to the university rev
enues of $4,000 which is annually re-
ceived from the government. So serious
has the situation become that Prof.
SchIicter, one of the leading mem
bers of the faculty, openly advises that
all of the thirty-eight students who have
confessed to participation in the ARRAY
be expelled, and it is said that other
members of the faculty will advocate a
similar step at the faculty meeting next
Monday, when the case will come up for
final settlement.
President Adams, who is at Atlanta,
Ca, has been advised of the trouble and
may be home for the faculty meeting
Monday. Tonight there will be a meet
ing of the board of regents, at which
some action undoubtedly will be taken
in regard to the trouble.
Madison, Wis, Oct. 25.-[Special.]-
The board Of university regents will
meet this evening. 1t is expected they
will take up the matter of the suspension
of students involved in the freshman
