GLUCOSE TRUST.
A Gigantic Combination With
Capital of $4O,OOO,OOO
Buys Up All the Glucose Works
in the Country.
STOCK AT A PREMIUM.
Chicago and New York Capital
lists in the Deal.
Will Consume 81, 100000
Bushels Of Corn Yearly.

Chicago, July 2S.-The fact came out
today that the business which called
the two Chicago corporation lawyers,
Levy Mayer and John P. Wilson, to
New York last week and led to numer-
Gus conferences of several of the large
trust compares, was the legal shaping
of a big company which has been or
ganized and which has purchased, with
one or two exceptions, all the glucose
manufacturing plants in the country.
Some idea of the size of the deal may
be gained from the fact that the new
corporation will have a capital of $4O,-
100000 and will control, with but slight
the United States, which amounts an
nually to 1,240, 100000 pounds. 1t in
wolves too the consumption annually of
about 81, 600, 900 bushels of corn.
In addition to the Importance of the
industry, the character of the New
York and Chicago capitalists, who have
underwritten the stock of the company
commands attention. They embrace
some of the biggest interests in Wall
street.
Among them are J. Pierpont Morgan,
the Guaranty Trust company, H. O..
Havemeyer, president, and F. o. Mat
thieson, vice president of the American
Sugar Refining company, Ex-Governor
R9swen P: Flower anthony ~, Brady and nd
contingent, which, however, is not so
heavily interested. includes Norman r.
Ream, Marshall Field, Edward I.Brew-
ster, John w. Doane, L. z. Letter, Rob-
ert 7. Lincoln and others.
New York took kindly to the PROPOSE
ton, as is evidenced from the fact that
"a hours after the underwriters sub
scriptions were invited, the capital
stock offered here of between $12 900 900
and $14, 000,O 600 was largely oVer-sub-
scribed by less than 20 financiers, and is
today at premium of over rs per cent.
The exact capitalization of the new
company, which is to be incorporated
under the laws of New Jersey, is as fol-
lows:
1900 shares z per cent pre-
terred stock $14, DOC, 600
260, 600 chares per cent COM
mon stock Observation-Disclosures. &c, 900 coo
Total capital SAC, 900 900
The new company has been organized
with view of running counter to the
trust laws of the states The new con-
Germ has, in the first instance, bought
for cash all the interests desired, so that
the New Jersey corporation can hardly
be called a consolidation, com bination
or trust 1t is one new large company
in control of the entire business. There
| will be but one set of officers; the sepa-
rate boards of directors are eliminated.
The concerns and their daily capacity
| in bushels of corn which have been
purchased are as follows:

could not call the names of my intimate
friends, and would frequently get lost
in parts of the city where had been
daily visitor for the past seven years.
I attributed my condition to advanced
age. Thanks TO Kola Nervine Tablets
however. 1 am satisfied that I am to-
day in as good condition, in every re-

Mrs. Geo. w. Veale,s "Reminiscences.

Mrs. George w. Veale was once a pu-
Pill OF Col. Anderson who died Monday
at his home in Manhattan. At that time
he was at the head of the seminary at
New Albany, Indiana. The seminary
was then closed and he assumed his du-
ties as government contractor to build
bridges during the war Mrs. Veale in
speaking of Col Anderson said today:
4 spent seven years in his seminary
He was then the finest educator west of
New York All his pupils loved him
He never received the credit due him
for the fine work of experimenting
those bridges for the government. After
the war he went to Manhattan where
he engaged in the bond business for the
Union Pacific. Fourteen years ago five
of his graduates from the New Albany
seminary sat down to dinner with him

COST OF TELLERS' SPEECH.
Over $4,000 Lost by Importers by
Reason of Delay.

New York, July 2S.-If Senator Teller
had not made his filibustering speech
in the senate on Friday the Dingley bill
would have received the signature of
the president at once, and the cargoes
of all ships which arrived at various
ports of the United States on that day
would have paid the extra duties as
sessed under the new law.
The amounts which were lost to the
revenue of the United States in conse-
quence of Senator Teller's speech We're,
therefore, enormous. Careful experts
have figured the loss on the cargoes Of
various ships as follows: Port of New
York, $4,000; Philadelphia, $40. 900;
Boston, $13, 600; Baltimore, $21, 300; New
port News, $12, 600

fered to transport the troops to Alaska
and to land them at their destination
for $3.50 per man and $50 per ton for
freight. The steamer will sail from
Seattle on August 5th, the latest date
that will insure the safe arrival of the
party at Circle City, before the winter
season begins. The steamer will pro-
coed to st. Michaels and there will
tranship to a river steamer. Orders
have been sent to San Francisco to
way of ample supplies of food and
heavy winter clothing and an order
has been telegraphed to Philadelphia to
send along number of tents of a new

TO TAX FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Potwin People Will Consider Cues
ton of Paying Tuition.

There is a great deal of interest in
the annual school meeting in Potwin.
The meeting will be held at 2 p. m. Sat
urday and the question that is exciting
interest is levy of a tax to pay the
tuition of Potwin scholars in the To-
peka high school.
The tuition is $40 and there are some
families in Potwin who are not a BILE to
pay it. On other families the tuition is
heavy, and it is proposed to make the
burden lighter by levying a general tax.
There has been some talk of having a
high school in Potwin, but that plan has
been abandoned for that of a tax levy
to pay the expense in the Topeka in
Stitution.
There is every reason to believe that
the proposition will carry.

NO Place to clean Our ships.

Washington, July 28.-Secretary Long
has decided to send the big battleship
Indiana to Halifax to be locked and
cleaned. 1t is felt to be necessary to
do this in order to prevent injury to the
hull from corrosiOn. The department
would have much preferred to send the
Indiana to Port Royal, S. c., for this
purpose, but the opinion of the best
navigators in the navy department was
that it would be decidedly risky in the
present unsatisfactory conditions of the
approaches to the dock there.

endeayoring to make the Fair strictly
an educational institution-a to this
end have always endeavored to have
the best quality Of exhibits and have
paid literally for them so that what
the people see at the Butler Fair can be
relied upon as the best in the land.
This has cost the management 80 much
that it has not been able to declare a
dividend to its stockholders for more
than ten years; the officers who do the
bulk OF the work, receive less than com
mon wages for their work and risk.

The Reunion at Buffalo.

The 3tst reunion of the Grand Army
of the Republic was held in the city of
Buffalo y. Y, last week and was a
grand success. The camp was called
Camp Jewett in honor of the Mayor of
Buffalo. 1t was situated ON the shore
of lake Erie, including the grounds of
Fort Porter, and commands fine view
of Canada from that point. There were
tents for 100, 900 men on the grounds,
all water proof, with mattresses In them
laid on board floors to prevent damp
ness. water plenty and every cOnven-
ience for washing, and meals from ten
cents TO fifty cents as the soldier deslr-
ed, large tent for speaking and hold
ing camp fires, which was filled every
afternoon and evening during the week
The grand parade was on Wednesday
and was headed by the President of the
United States and his Cabinet. 1t
commenced to move at a. NJ. and
continued to move all day until D 2. NJ.
There We're about 10, 900 old veterans in
line When the head of the procession
arrived at the grand stand the Presi-
dent and several Major Generals,
among them Gen. Stickles, stopped
and remained there all day, the Presi-
dent standing up with his head un-
covered bowling to the soldiers as they
passed.
The streets were lined with people as
closely packed as they could possibly
be for two miles, and cheering the old
veterans as they passed along. One
pleasant feature was the cheers that
were continually given all along the
rout for A G Reed Post No. 105, from
Butler Pa, there were about 100 men
in this Post in line and walking with
the color bearers were l. j. McCand-
less twins. At one point there were
about 2000 children dressed in red,
white and blue seated in the form of a
shield on stand erected for the pur
pose and as the soldiers passed they
waived their handkerchiefs and cheer
ed There were flower girls all along
the route strewing flowers in their path
as they passed along, reminding one of
the ovation General Washington re
ceived after the Revolution. Taking it
all in all it was the most successful re-
union the Grand Army has had since
1865.
The soldiers will all go home prais-
ing the good people of Buffalo for their
entertainment Pennsylvania was es
pecially honored having been given a
place of honor in the parade, and the
