MERGER OF OIL COMPANIES.
UNION LEAD AND OIL ABOUT TO ABSORB
AMERICAN LINsEED.

Rumors current in Wall Street the last few days
that the Union Lead and Oil Company and the
American Linseed Company were about to be con-
solidated confirmed last night by an official
statement announcing the terms on which merger
has been arranged between the two corporations.
President Homer Wise of the Union Lead and Oil
Company has just returned from a trip TO the min
ing properties of that company, where he has been
arranging for the construction Of four concentrat
ing plants and smelling plants sufficient to smet
the product of the concentrators.
The president of the American Linseed Com
pany, Guy G. Major, said last night that the prin
cipal reason for the consolidation which he and
his associates in the management Of that company
have agreed 70 is found in the great economies
which will be effected in the handling OF both lin
seed oil and white lead. He did not deny that II
would have been possible to effect merger with
either the National Lead Company the Union
Lead and oil Company, and said that he was con-
WINGED that the Bailey process for making
white lead determined the wisdom OF consolidating
with the Union Lead and Oil Company Mr. Major
added that the terms on which the consolidation
had been effected were entirely favorable 10 the
stockholders OF the American Linseed Company,
who he said. would receive profits on their stock
from every branch OF the paint industry, from the
mining Of the blue lead and the growth of the
haxseed TO the marketing OF the white lead and
the oil
President Wise Of the Union bead and on Com
pany, said that the capital stock Of his company.
after the merger with the Linseed company had
been accomplished, would amount 70 only S7,encoo'
and that there would be only class Of stock.
which would be common stock OF 10000 shares Of
the par value of 500 a share. The terms OF the
merger are SIS in Union stock for each share Of the
preferred stock of the Linseed company. and SIS
for each share Of the common stock of that com
pany The consolidated company will have g go 900
in cash, in addition its present working capital
II cannot vet be definitely ascertained whether
the Whitney-Ryan STANDARD OIL interests con-
troll the Union Lead and OIL Company. 1t is an
r1ounced that the holders OF large amounts OF the
stock of the American Linseed Company have al
ready signifed their approval Of the arrangement
for Consolidation, and that the directors urge the
prompt acceptance thereof by the remaining stock
holders The outstanding capital stock OF the
American Linseed Company is S33.500,000 Of which
one-half is preferred and one-half common. Both
classes have shown much strength recently in the
stock market The common closed yesterday at
2fz and the preferred at 5lh. The depositares OF
the Linseed companys stock for exchange into
Union Lead and Oil Company stock are the New
York Security and Trust Company. OF this city,
and the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, of Chi

KEARSARGE's NEW GUN IN PLACE.
SUCCESS OF THE PLAN OF NAVAL con-
STRUCTOR CAPPS

When Naval Constructor Capps left the battleship
afternoon he had the satisfaction Of knowing that
he had successfully accomplished in five weeks,
with expenditure of 1000. what competent naval
constructors declared would take two months and
cost from $4,000 to s75,0 Reference is made TO
the removal of the big damaged 13-inch gun from
the lower section of the double and the in
stallation Of a gun in its place. The work is
not quite completed for the part OF the side OF the
turret which removed must be replaced, but
the new gun yesterday forced into place
through the narrow opening and the job was pro-
nounced a success.
At 10 o'clock the hundred ton derrick OF the
Merritt-Chapman Wrecktng Company was moored
alongside the battleship, and picked up the new
gun. which had been carried to the edge Of the
dock. Thirty-three minutes later the immense mass
Of steel was resting on the runway the ships
deck. Then began the difficult and delicate task
Of pulling II into the turret.
An iron cable was run from the muzzle, where it
was cleated TO the breach. where It was fastened
to differential fall in the turret This fall has
pulling power Of twenty thousand pounds and is
worked by hand Slowly the big gun pulled
into the turret. there being less than one-quarter
Of inch spare at each side. II took four hours
to get the gun into place. The replacing OF the
arrnor Of the turret will be a simple matter.
When the accident the big gun was reported
it thought that II would have 70 ne taken our

Naval Constructor Capps asked that the hearsaSe

who were slaves who cannot read and write who

Keep the Balance up.

1t has been truthlully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble
Nobody can be too careful to keep
this balance up. When people
begin to lose appetite, or to get
tired easily, the least imprudence
brings on sickness, weakness, or
debility The system needs a
tonic, Graves it, and should not be
denied it; and the best tonic of
which we have any knowledge is
Hoods SarSaparilla. What this
medicine has done in keeping
healthy people healthy, in keeping
up the even balance of health,
gives it the same distinction as
preventive that it enjoys as cure.
It's early use has illustrated the
wisdom of the old saying that
stitch in time saves nine. Take
Hoods for appetite, strength, and
endurance.

DEATH FORETOLD
BY PIANIST.

St. Paul, Minn., June ) A spe-
eial to the pioneer Press from
Dulnth, MINI, says:
Mrs. c. }. West. aged 81. wife

and Iron Co., while III Chicago
about six weeks ago visited palm
list with a party of friends aud
was startled to be informed that she
had but 80 days to live She laugh
Ell the matter off aud made light of
the prediction, but evidently it mad
considerable impression on her.
After a visit Of two weeks in Chi
cago, Mrs. West went with her
friends to a small from twOn across
the Indiana border, where a party
was given in her honor. One of
the ladies with whom Mrs West
had been playing cards proposed to
tell her fortune Again the fate
full prediction was made that Mrs
West had but two more weeks of
life. Two days later Mrs. West
c implanted of feeling i'll and re-
turned to her home in Duluth
Eminent physicians were gathered
in consultation, but despite their
best efforts she died last Thursday,
the last day of the fatal two weeks.
The doctors in attendance upon
Mrs. West said that the fortune
telling undoubtedly exerted an
influence to produce the wOman's
death.

THE OTHER MANS GAME.

The folly of trying to play Wall
Streets game with the experts at that
kind of gambling is we'll illustrated by
some OF the sequences of the excite
ment of few weeks ago. People
throughout the country had been allur.
ed into investing in margins" with
the expectation that prices of stocks
would continue to advance. By this
plan of Investment the purchaser pays
percentage of the value of the partic-
ular shares be or his broker selects,
and the broker, or the brokers' banker,
carries the balance as loan, holding
the shares as security. While prices
are advancing the going is easy for the
investor. But during the recent panic
prices fell rapidly and brokers and
bankers sold out such stocks indiscrim.
inately. 1t turns out that many hold.
ings, on which the margins were ample
were sold. Stocks rapidly recovered
their normal values and the panic pur.
chasers were enriched, while the mon
ey invested by the greenhorn, in the
country towns, has been forfeited. He
may sue for it, but lawsuit against a
member Of the Wall street combination
OF spectators, to recover the swag
they have obtained in the course of the
game, is poor recompense for hardearn.
ed dollars.
1t is better to keep out of the game
as matter OF prudence, even for such
as have no conscientious scruples
about that kind of gambllng.-Kansas
