LAST PAYMENT is MADE.
John Cudahy Finally Closes Up His
Lard Deal of 1898.

Chicago, Aug. 22-John Cudahy
gave to Charles L. Hutchinson a check
for 100000, the last payment upon the
indebtedness resulting from his lard
deal during the panic of 1893.
1.-THE original Indebtedness was ST.
600, 000," said Mr.. Cudahy. 1T was an
nounced at the time and has been
stated everywhere over the country
since, that I was ruined. When that
lard deal came to an end I had a half
interest in the Milwaukee packing
house, majority interest in the Louis
vile and all of one house at Nashville.
In addition to this I had 500, 900 worth
of real estate here in Chicago. This
property remained untouched. I kept
my business intact, gave notes for the
amount lost and went ahead. In the
five years since I have earned the ST.
$1,000 and paid the last note this
morning. There were no unusual oc-
currences to aid me. 1 simply attended
to business.
my lard deal with Fairbank fell
through. Conditions were such that
the long side of the market looked in
viting and subsequent developments
proved that I had it sized up correctly.
We had 300, 900 tierces of lard sold and
had it on the cars for New York. When
we came to negotiate our exchanges
there was trouble.
1T was the panic year, 1898. Banks
were failing all over the country. Bank
ers here would not touch our drafts
We had to withhold our shipments. We
tried to arrange with the railways so
that we could forward our lard but
they objected We had to put it back
into the warehouses. The price at
which we sold was SO. so per fierce It
broke to $50. We were short on funds
and had to suspend. Immediately af-
ter our suspension there was a recovery
to $3.50.
My creditors assented to a PROPOSE
ton to place all claims in the hands of

ahead with my business. I was able to
pay 20 per cent of the debts almost at
the start from the earnings of my var
ious packing house interests. kept
digging away, kept still and worked
hard.
Il was able from time to time to dis
count my obligations and save interest
charges. Today 1 paid the last dollar
of my Indebtedness and am just where
was before I entered that lard deal
with Fairbanks"

The next business in order is to begin
preparations for the big celebration of
the centennial anniversary Of the Lou
isiana purchase which it is proposed
to hold at st. Louis in 1908. There will
be none too much time if congress
should set the matter going at the next
session. The area added to the United
States by that deal includes the states
of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming,
Idaho, Oregon and Washington, and
large parts of Minnesota and Colorado,
together with the whole of Indian Ter
Eitory and Oklahoma. St. Louis is the
largest city in this territory and is, in
every way fitted for the occasion.

Effects of Old Newspaper Office Sold
on a Judgment.

Atchison, Aug. 22.-The effects of the
Atchison Patriot were sold at auction
to satisfy a claim for rent and storage.

support. Abbot only ran the paper for
a year, when he was succeeded by H.
Clay Park and B. P. Waggener. Wag-
gener got rid of his interest in six
months, but Park published the paper
many years, finally disposing of it. At

of S. NJ. Stambaugh, who came here
from Ohio. The press, type, files and
