eel Days.

The international Printing Pressmen and
Assistants Union of America will hold it's
eleventh annual convention in this city, be-
ginning Monday, June 10. The convention
will open at 9 o'clock in the assembly hall
of the House of Representatives and the
delegates will be welcomed to the city by
short addresses by Governor Mount for the
State and by Mayor Taggart on behalf Of
the city. Monday evening an informal re-
ception will be held at the Grand Hotel,
the headquarters of the convention. A troll
ley ride through the city and visits to Broad
Ripple. Crown Hill Cemetery, Fairbank
and the monument will be the programme
for Tuesday afternoon. Business matters
will take up the time Wednesday until s p.
m. An elaborate banquet for Wednesday
evening will be one of the features. The
convention will close Friday evening.
One hundred and ten delegates, represent
ing 19 pressmen's and assistants unions,
will be represented. Among the important
matters which will come before the conven-
ton for discussion will be the labor problem
as relating to the pressmen of the country.
The nine-hour-day question, for which the
unions have so long commended, will again
be brought up.
The Indianapolis Printing Pressmen's
Union, No. IL, and the indianapolis Press
feeders and Assistants Union, No. 80, have
been particularly active in arranging for
the convention. and It is believed the dele
gates will go away well pleased with their
selection of this city for the international
meeting. A most elaborate souvenir has
been prepared by a committee composed Of
Charles p. Froschauer, president of union
No. II, David Self, secretary. John 7. Coran
and others. The souvenir is a book of sew
enty pages containing the programme of the
convention and photographs of the officers
and members of the local unions. 1t also
contains short articles by prominent press
men and printers of the country, among
them being Label Difficulties" by j. H..
Bowman, president of the international
union. The Shorter Work Day." by Will
G.. Loomis. first vice president. ana The
American FRESHMAN and its Mission" by
Theodore +. G~aloskowsky, of st. Louis.
Short biographies. together with photo
graphs. of Thomas J: Carter. John I.
Coran and Cyrus Il. Heller appear under
the head Of From Composing Room TO
State Printing Board" The work also con-
tains numerous Advertisements, all works
of art, telling of machines and articles used
by pressmen in their work. Nearly all of
the cuts were made by the several engrav-
ing companies here. The souvenir as a
whole is interesting and reflects much credit
upon those concerned In its preparation.

In organizing a company each
subscriber for stock makes the pay
ments as above indicated either by
the week or month.
On the basis Of subscriptions ag-
gregating fifty thousand dollars
there would be paid into the com
pany in each year about twelve
thousand five hundred dollars.
With this amount of money the
buildings could be constructed and
paid for in the first year. Within
the second year one-third the ma
chinery could he purchased and put
in operation. In three years from
the time Of organization it would
be usually possible to have the entire
plant in operation with some debt,
which could be paid off as the in
stallments were paid in the last
year,
A capital of fifty thousand dollars
will build a mill of about two
thousand spindles and one hun
bred looms which would furnish
work for about one hundred hands,
men, women and children. These
estimates are only given for the
purpose of conveying the most gen
eral idea, There are conditions
that might vary any one of the
items given, and therefore in each
special case the general result
might be different according to the
cost of materials and the kind of
product desired to be made.
The illustrations and general
data are taken from mills that have
been built on the plan herein dis
cussed.-D. A. Tompkins.

a PLAN TO RAISE CAPITAL
BODYBUILDING A COTTON
FACTORY.

There are in successful operation
In the southeast a number of cotton
factories built by money raised on
the installment Tlan as the pay
lnents are made in a building and
loan association,
The conclusion is therefore reach
ed that if u plan could be formu-
lated by which a company could be
organized whose capital stock was
made payable in the shape of regu-
lar weekly or monthly saving, then
any ordinary community could
raise the money to build factory.
Following out this line of thought
it was found that with shares ofone
hundred dollars par value they
could be paid in full as follows;
f1) At the rate of one dollar per
week per share the par value would
be reached in a little less than two
years. (2) At the rate of fifty
cents per week the time would be a
little less than four years. (3l At
The rate of twenty-five cents per
week the time would be little less
than eight years. Allofthese plans
Of payments have been tried at
Charlotte, N. c., and in every case
the result has been successful.
The plan (2) of so cents pei
week per share, it seems, is the
most popular and most suitable fol
nll ordinary cases and places. Al
this rate the following would be tho
regular payments for about foul
years

Situation in SoutA AJrtcn.

The Boer forces are threatening
the British at three important
points in South Africa. At MAIZE
King, Kimberly and Ladysmith
Mafeking and Kimberly are en-
airely cut of, and surrounded, and
heavy fighting is reported to be in
progress at both points. The Beers
under General Joubert are closing
in on Ladvsmith, and the British
General, Ssewart-White will soon
have his bands full Of fighting.
1t remains to be seen whether
zine Beers are the same good fighters
they were in 1881, when they de-
Seated the British at Majuba Hill
and Laings Neck. At Mafeking
General Baden Powell, q noted
British fighter, has only 600 men,
opposed to Boer force of 5000 and
the English are making strenuous
efforts to send him u relief force.
The British will soon have an OPP
portunity to show if they are the
euperiors of the Beers in pitched
bat lie.

several kinds of liniment and two

relief until he began using Cham

THE LATE ]. W. C. MORRISON.

The Yankton Is D. Press and Dakotan
prints the folloing concerning MIR. j. W.
G. Morrison who died recently IN this
city:
o. H. Carney was advised by telegraph
Monday forenoon of the death of his uncle
John VI. g. Morrison, which most sor-
rowful event occurred at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. d. S. Warren in Port
and, Maine, last evening. Death resulted
from heart trouble from which the de-
ceased had suffered for more than year
His advanced years made successful
battle against the disease inn osible. and
a long and useful life was rewarded by
release from earthly cares and tr oubles.
John W. q. Morrison was O resident of
Yankton for 20 years. In 1870 he first
became interested in this CITY. In that
year in company with ". W. Brookiugs
hb erected the st. Charles hotel large
frame structure On the site of the present
hotel Pierce. He came from Portland,
Maine, to Yankton liz 1871, purchased the
Brookings interest in the ST. Charles.
and erected the brick addition to the hotel
on the north, which addition still stands.
Mrs. Morrison accompanied her husband
The Portland daily press., 1899-04-26

to this city and immediately those two
venerable and distinguished people, be-
came influential mem bers OF society here.
In 1883 Mrs. Morrison died. and that
bereavement WAS most severe upon her
husband ana was u decided shock and
cause for profound sorrow in iankton.
Mrs Morrison was one of those women
whose every word aud act was full OF
helpfulness and loving kindness for all
men, and half her devoted husband s
desire for life vanished with her.
Mr.. Morrison was one of the best
citizens Yankton ever had He was an
enterprising and progressive man, with
much pride in all that concerned this city,
and his purse was always one of the first
to lie opened in behalf of the welfare of
the town. He was generous to fault
and his annual charities were more than
the expenditures in years OF many men
who made mt re acclaim about their own
good deeds. he was most devoted in his
Christianity, was meroiful In his judg-
ments, warm and never falling as friend
and most thorouahly respected by his
numb erless friends.
On the occasion of his S4th birthday on
he 18th OF last month, Mrs. W. W.
Brookings of Sioux Falls, mailed him a
round robin letter of congratulations to
which his friends in Yankton, Texas, and
California had co attributed most appro-
pirate sentiments In response to this let
ter Mr.. Morrison had written expressing
his happiness at being so affectionately
rsmem bersd. and that was his last earthly
message to his western friends.
4 John W. g. Mouion's life has left
an indelible impression upon Yankton
which city he left in 1891 Ills memory
will ever be- cherished as that of a man to
whom the world is indebted beyond all
possibility of payment ana to his relatives
sincerest condolences are extended.
