STATE WILL LOSE MONEY.
Mistake Made in the Revision of the Stat
utes of Wisconsin.

Madison, Wis, Aug. Pa careful in
vestigation of the revision of the stat
utes in the legislature last week re-
garding the fees for Incorporation of
articles of association has disclosed the
fact that by mistake of the revision
committee the state may lose lot OF
money. The law prescribes that no cor
poration shall have a legal existence
until it's articles are filed with the reg
lister Of deeds, and further that for the
filing Of a copy of the articles with the
secretary of state a fee Of $25 shall be
charged in case the capital stock Is
S25, 900 or less, and for every additional
81, 900 capital stock 81 will be charged.
For doing business without the filing
of such copy with the secretary of state
each of the three incorporators is fined
$25 According to the law the legality
Of a corporation does not depend upon
the filing of the papers with the secre-
tary of state, but upon the filing OF the
articles with the register OF deeds 1t
is, therefore, presumed that incorpora-
tors of an association whose capital
stock exceeds SIS, 600 will prefer to pay
the fine of $25 instead of paying the
state fees, which would amount to 500
in case the capital stock amounts to
500 600

Ishpeming, Mich, Aug. 26.-The Off
cials of the Mine Workers union have
called another mass-meeting to he held
Sunday afternoon. 1t was thought that
the result of the election to continue at
work until Saturday night would def
initely settle the unions proposition to
refuse to allow members to work with
-unionists but the leaders seem de-
termined to get the men out If possible
Their announcement Of another meeting
is not received with much favor by
unionists or business men.
Some Of the mine managers Wednes-
day sent their bosses among the work
men and warned them that they VIII
make a serious mis- take If they do not
vote down the unions proposition. The
worlxmen have all been told that the
nor-unionists shall be kept at work and
nrotected If necessary in the event OF a
walk-out of the unionists. Well-ih-
formed members Of the organization re-
port that a majority will vote against
the issue now pending.
There was a warm time at the union
meeting at Negaunee. A. c. Wead, q
prominent worker in the interest OF
organization was expelled by President
Nudge because he IS not toiler, nav

BULL CLIQUE STILL RULES.
Force the Price of September Wheat Back
to 81 Cents.


Chicago, Aug. 26.-Wheat experienced
a change of heart Wednesday. From
amid the turmoil which has ruled in the
local wheat PIT for nearly two months
a giant bull arose Wednesday, swal-
lowed all the rest of the bulls in the
market and lashed the bears into COM
plete subsection. 1t was day Of vio-
lent fluctuations. September wheat
climbed back to 81 cents during the
forenoon, or 81 cents above Tuesdays
closing, Every other domestic market
placed a higher price on the golden
cereal Wednesday and New York is
rushing wheat abroad with an eager
ness that promises soon to exhaust do
mestic supplies. But above all these
considerations was the radical change
of front adopted by the mysterious bull
clique, by means of which that combine
commands the local wheat pit.
George r. French is looked upon by
all eyes. His smile has disappeared
and the bears are filled with fear. A
concerted attack was made upon the
big line of September wheat controlled
by his hackers. This information is
from a perfectly reliable sourse. With
out warning Allen-Grier, the house
through which the bull clique Is clear
ing, was called upon for 10 per cent.
margins from the closing prices. the
extreme limit permitted by the rules
Of the board. Everybody not in the
conspiracy admits that it was mean
trick, but in view of subsequent events
ii was clear that the attempt was a
miserable failure. George French's
hackers responded Immediately by put
ting up margins to the amount of $780,
900 within half an hour. The fact that
this raid was made Tuesday night did
not come to the surface until Wednes-
day, and when it was whispered around
created a sensation.
The fact that 100000 was paid for
margins is readily open to the inference
that the Allen-Grier-F French
clique holds at least 100000 bushels
of September wheat. All other holdings
| by this alliance have been thrown over
| board. That they were immense may
be judged when it is known that their
| liquidatons were the leading factors
in the decline of the market Tuesday.

Opposed to Going on Strike.

Nevada, Mo-. Aug 26.-Several out
side coal strikers were in the Vernon
county coal fields Tuesday assisting the
agitators to work up sympathy for the
striking eastern miners, The result re-
mains to be seen. The majority ap-
parently are strongly opposed to going
out. 1t is understood that the miners
propose to drive the eastern and Kan
sas strikers from the foreign and un-
learned miners here. They are willing
70 assist the strikers with sem-month-
ly contributions, but they have no
cause for a strike they say. and do
not propose to have agitators working
among miners.
