AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY

Within the Last Ten Days its Stock
Has dropped nearly SO Per Share.
st. Louis, Mo, Sept, 26.-Thc Repub-
lie tomorrow will say:
'',There has been Il Shrinkagc of over
S3,O00,000 in the value of the common
stock of the American Tobacco Com
pany within the last ten days. The bulk
of this loss has been sustained since the
negotiations for the purchase of the big
-Drummond plant in this city became
public. Yesterday the stock went down
50 share from the high point of sat,
urday, the total drop within the last
ten days being $14.15 a share. In an
ticipation of a further drop the bears IN
the ST Louis market have been selling
the stock short, Il fact which tends to
still further break down the market.
"Only Il few days ago the stock was
up to $685. Il share. but as soon as the
announcement was officially made that
the company was negotiating for the
purchase of the Drummond plant the
market began to break, and when it be-
came known that the American Com
pany had not paid the cash demanded
by President Drummond for his stock
the bottom began to fall out.
"When President Duke, of the Ameri-
can Company, LETT the city last Wednes-
day~it was rumOred that he would ar
range to have the cash placed to the
credit of the Drummond Company in
New York. but when he failed to do that,
and it became known that the company
would have to issue new stocks or bonds
to pay for the Drummond plant, the
hears began to get in their work.
yesterday it was said that the money
for the Drnmmond plant had not been
paid, and that the deal would not be
closed for several days, if, in fact, it is
closed within the next ten days.
1T is asserted by persons who claim
to be on the inside that the price to be
paid for the Drummond plant instead of
being based upon S10,000,000 was in
reality based upon $6000.000 for the
plant and good will of the st. Louis
Company"

Holloways and Harden.

KEPT Up THE PREMIUMS
SANGER RODE FOR HIS MOTHERS
HAPPINESS.
Honolulu May See Him Some Day-Eb-
crhardt Wants to Come-Cyclomere
has Been Leased.

The bike" riders of this city, es-
pecially the new comers,, think Il
great deal of Walter Sanger, the crack
American wheelman, and are hoping
that he will visit Honolulu shortly.
After several years of considerable
worry, Sanger has fallen into a large
fortune. When Walter first went on
the track and won so many races, his
father, who was then very wealthy
man of Milwaukee, became so elated
that he established bicycle factory
for his son. The enterprise was a
sink hole and the elder Sanger lost ev-
cry dollar he had.
He was carrying an insurance policy
of 100000. Young Sanger went out
in the world and with his wheel earn
on this insurance. 1t was one of the
old policies issued under the old form.
Had it been one of the modern policies
Sanger could have borrowed money on
it to pay his premium. The elder San
ger died recently leaving his family
well provided for.
Frank Eberhardt of Salina, Kans.,
a crack rider, who broke worlds
record this year. has written to the
Cyclomere management proposition
to attend one of the meets. He will be
given encouragement to come.

ENJoYARLEGRIP.

The North American, of Decem-
Der II, speaks of the new grip that
has appeared in Philadelphia
items.-Physicians say there is a
new brand of grip epidemic in the
city just at this time, which pos
sesses peculiarities not know to be
attached to any other disease.
This variety of grip attacks the
head and throat, and is apt to
tackle it's victim at a moments
notice, and in any place. Worse
than all, it is contagious. First of
all, there is a slight fever, and the
PATIENTS cheeks become flushed.
Then the eyes become swollen
and watery, and there is a contin-
ual discharge from the nostrils and
the throat becomes swollen and
sore. These symptoms are follow
ed by a spasmodic cough. The
strangest thing about this type OF
grip is that it is not accompanied
by that depressed, spiritless feel
ing which was the case with the
old variety of influenza, but, OF
the contrary, the victim enjoys
great buoyancy of spirits, and is
with difficulty persuaded that he
is sick. This disease is attacking
everybody these days.

BRvAN's new PLATFORM

Colonel Bryan has announced
himself as a candidate for the
presidency in 1900, on the plat
form of opposition to the acquisition
of the Philippine Islands, or any
other territory beyond this CONT
nent. Though the colonel was
made colonel by few scratches
of a pen, it is plain from his plat
form that a soldier life don't suit
him and he is not like Alexander
OF old, longing for other worlds to
conquer. He doesn't want to cap
ture anything but the presidential!
seat in the White House. He did
not capture the presidency on the
silver issue, but in 1900 he expects
TO capture it by organizing the
democracy in opposition to the ex-
tension of the boundary lines of the
United States beyond the continent.

scolded and said it is not chicken

prise to the people of BedfOrdtown
to learn that they had dangerous

George A. Lee, a New York pro-
moter is fugative, lodging the
officers of the law of New York
City. He had a large experience
with John j. Patterson, Sr., in
traction deals. Patterson sold
Lancaster traction bonds at q high
figure to Juniata county people,
and sold Traction bonds to Lee at
a low figure. The Juniata people
have their bonds, but Lee sold the
bonds that he got at a low figure
to New York broker at a high
figure.
"PULLED PATTERsON's LEG.n
Lee pulled Patterson's financial
leg hard if Patterson was not in
the game as silent partner. But
Patterson's leg was not pulled as
hard as was the financial leg of the
Juniata people, for Patterson has
been getting a swell liHfg out OF
the concern and the Juniata peo-
pie are getting nothing.
Lee was daring swindler in
New York. The New York World
OF December IA, tells great deal
about him. AS far as known he
began his swindling career in Buf-
falo, n. Y. State, and some three
years ago, came to New York CITY.
His operations there were on a
tremendous scale. He made great
sums of money by disposing OF
stocks and bonds of dubious value.
TRACTION BONDS.
1t is said that he cleared about
$l0O,O0 on the Eastern Elevator
deal in New York, and he secured
possession of 1900 bonds of the
Pennsylvania Traction Company
the face value OF the bonds being
81 ,2O0, ,OOO-OrganiZed to build and
operate trolly system in Lancas
ter, Pa, for $19,500 cash and some
Eastern Elevator stock.
LEE MEETS PATTERSON.
"About the time Lee left Buffalo,
he fell in with John j. Patterson,
now of Lancaster, Pa, the prime
mover in the Pennsylvania Trac-
tion Company. Lee secured big
block of its bonds. The Traction
Company operated trolley lines in
Lancaster.
The Company divided its lines
into two systems having the same
names.
On the city system, with fifty
nine miles of track $2.OO0, coo
bonds were issued. and in the
country system, with twelve
miles of track 81, 100000, bonds
were issued, that is $1,000,
coo. 1t is said the tracks
are worth about Sl00,OGO. If the
tracks of the two systems are
worth one hundred thousand dol
lars, nearly half enough money
went out Of Juniata county to pay
for them.
TWO CENTS ON THE DOLLAR.
The men who have tried to mar
ket the bonds in New York have
been offered only two cents on the
dollar for them. szzz<
