"YOU WILL KILL THE GOOSE THAT
LAYS THE GOLDEN EGG"

On October 10, 1892, DR.. Mcdonald
wrote a letter to his son, Richard, in
which he shows that he had not yet
reached the point of distrusting o. T.
Dyer, who was in New York trying to
negotiate Unacceptable securities.
While the old gentleman believed that
the manager of the Riverside Bank
was acting with fairness. he did not for
a moment, however, misunderstood the
wretched predicament into which the
Pacific Bank had been placed by
Dyer The elder Mcdonald wrote to
his son as follows:
NEW YORK, Oct 10, 1892.
My Dear Son Richard: From all I
can learn from Frank and others,
Dyer seems to be hustling here to get
money in one and another way, and
from the talk has prospect of having
returns soon. The best thing, it seems
to ME, is to let him alone, or you will
kin the goose laying the golden egg.
OF course. there is point beyond
which this cannot go. I know
dangerous debt we have against him,
and one most unwise for us to ever
on on II the part Of Dyer has been most in
sidious and well planned to bring it
to what it is now. Affectionately your
father. II. II. McDONALD.
Tomorrow morning The Call will
continue the publication of the letters
of Dr. R. H. Mcdonald, and will show.
to the public what the old man thought
of the schemes and the schemers that
had ruined the two institutions Of
which he was the founder and the
leading spirit. In these letters the old
man discusses with pathetic bitter
ness of spirit the private affairs Of
himself and his family and the terrible
wreck of his fortune that came to him
after he had passed three score and
ten. These letters, associated as they
are with the wreck Of two great insti-
tutions, are of primary public impor-
tance.

WILL DO AS HE PLEASES
WITH YOU"

On August II the old man, who had
returned to New York, again wrote to
Dick as follows:
My Dear Son Richard: I think all
your hobnobbing with Farnum and
Toy will prove q disadvantage. They
VIII commit you all they can and then
do just as they please, using you as
far as they can carry you Our bank

FARNUM THOUGHT THAT THE
BANKS WERE IN DANGER.

This intimate association of faith and
finance, this trembling at the designs
Of earthly investigators and the child
ike confidence in heavenly mercy, will
probably not strike the public with the
same confidence that it hit Frank Nc
Donald.

YOU WILL REMEMBER THE
LESSON ALL YOUR LIFE"

If the foregoing letter was not
evidence enough that DR.. Mcdonald
was fearful of returning to San Fran
cisco and knew thoroughly the condi-
tion Of his banks here, the following
epistle will prove it:
NEW YORK, Oct. s, 1892
My Dear Son Richard: You must
not expect much of me at lne present
time, but, as you are doubtless aware,
am keenly alive to all that is going on
in San Francisco. My boy, keep the
Pacific Bank intact and going on safely
if you can, and If you can get out of
this complex condition Of business
mistakes and the present embarrassed
condition of affairs you will have
learned a lesson that may prove of
value to you the remainder of your
life, even If it has cost you a fine for
tune to gain that experience. Affec-

FARNUN HAS MOUNTED THE
THRONE AS A PETTY TYRANT.

In the latter part of the same month
DR.. Mcdonald wrote another important
letter to his son, Richard, in with he
informed the latter to be on his guard
against Miss Mary Grant, as she was
becoming less and less useful to the
Pacific Bank and it would not be too
wise to talk to her of private affairs.
The doctor also took another fling at
Farnum and the proposed sale OF $780,
600 worth of the stock of the Peoples
Home Savings Bank. The old man
wrote as follows:

captain jim" WANTED TO Be
MAYOR

In 1892 Captain James Mcdonald had
a very serious thought that the people
of this city wanted him to be Mayor.
Captain Jim and his brother, the
doctor, were never very good friends in
their later years, and when the doctor
heard on September that his brother
did have designs on the position now
occupied by the greatest "Hefter" in
the land, he wrote to Dick as follows:
II hope the captain has too much
good sense to allow his name to be used
for Mayor of the city,
1t is not unlikely the pros'7e IF the
Pacific Bank knew tb of
placing money in ban 9ns
or in treasures. and hat

mentum which we have obtained at so
much cost and energy in the way Of
advertising.
Mr.. Farnum is narrow-minded,
self-conceited, stubborn man, that
knows very little except in one partic-
ular line and assumes to know every
thing. And one or two things must
be done-that he must leave the bank
or submit to the control of those who
are interested and know more
about the way Of conducting the bank
than he does. I say this not to be re-
peated. but to be acted upon at the
proper time. 1 put him in the bank

are concerned, and not to be a tyran-
nical dictator over me, and that he

Cattle Utilized For Smuggling Opium

opium, said H. A. Tanning OF Seat-

Cling scheme was unearthed a few
years ago by United States secre.
service officers in North Dakota II
was noticed that an unusually large
number of cattle were being driven
across the line to the North DakOn
markets, and the secret service men
planned an investigation. For some
time their work was in vain, ana
they had about given up hope On
discovering any unlawful opera
tions when an accident revealed tne
fact that the nostrils of the catus
were stuffed with opium wrappeo
carefully in tinfoil. In this way
each steer was worth twice Its nor

of animals had been driven acros

COTTON.

New York, Aug. 4.-Slight changes
took place in the early market when
sales were very light. Later on there
was a firmer tone and an upward
tendency on the weather map show
ing rains in The Atlantic states, where
moisture is feared will prove de-
structive to the crop. The market
IS sensitive, and prices move up or
down according to the character of
the Rdvices respecting the weather.
Spot sales at Liverpool 10000, mar
ket unchanged at 1872. Futures
steady at 1-2 point advance. Yarns
at Manchester steady, cloth moves
slowly. Reports of rain towards
noon were quite numerous, especially
from the Atlantic and Gulf states
and excited considerable interest.
Private advices brought many com
plants of poor crop prospects and
on the whole, advices served to
check selling, and were regarded as
more worthy of consideration. Final
sales show to points net advance.
Port receipts to-day 1,510 against
2,S33 last week and 451 last year.

changed at 6 1-16. Southern spot
