State Fair Has Deficit of $1,000.

Secretary J. M. True of the State
Board of Agriculture has not yet COM
pleted his figures showing the receipts
and disbursements at the State fair, but
the total deficit 50 far as the fair itself
is concerned will be about $4,000. From
this can be deducted about $4,000, which
will be received from the State, leaving
the actual loss this year about $4,000. A
little of this, however, was spent for per-
manent improvements on the grounds, the
appropriation of $4,000 by the State not
having been quite sufficient to complete
the work. The board has still between
$4,000 and $4,000 on hand.

In the business centers OF
| kpW Y0rk this country and Europe the
l industrial situation is COM
handing attention at present. Trade pos
sbilities for this country are good, but
the industrial combinations, which are
handicapped by overcapitalization and in
efficient management, are drawback. In
Europe the outlook on the continent ap-
pears to be going from bad to worse.
Germany has suffered the most, and the
reaction from the active boom in its in
dustries has been a severe one. England
is under the effect of the prolonged South
African war. which is still conducted at
great expense Thus far business in this
country does not lose in volume, and,
even if the beginning of the end of the
era of wide prosperity is indicated in the
recent developments in the industrial
field, trade should continue good for an
other year. But the country has passed
through a shock of the nature which
curbs new enterprises. interpretations OF
new companies with a capital of $1,000
900 or over in September fell considera-
bly, below the record for last year. It
is difficult to secure capital for new con-
Germs unless the prospects for the future
are wholly desirable, and disaster in Eu-
rope could not fail to have some reflection
here. An attack on industrial shares
marked the course of the New York mar
ket last week, which was the outgrowth
of the poor reports presented by several of
these companies. The attitude of the
Standard Oil party, the most powerful
factor in Wall street, continues bearish,
and it is even reported that the bank
controlled by this group of fnanciers has
thrown industrial stocks out of collateral
offered for loans. The sugar trust, I'M
der the stress of competition in the Mis-
souri, river district from beet sugar re-
fineries, has reduced its selling price to
49, cents at the points of competition.

Of some communities in the Southwest
will be affected, orders of merchants,
even in the territory where curtailment
was to be apprehended most, have not
been reduced appreciably. Railroad earn
ings and bank clearings are good. There
is a scarcity of cars to move traffic, and
railroads will be forced to add largely to
their rolling stock. Large purchases Of
steel rails are being made for delivery
next year at the quotations prevailing
now. That the United States Steel Corr
poration made more money during the
strike than before indicates that it had
a surplus stock on hand which was sold
at better profit than if the mills had
been running. The true cost Of the strike
will be seen in the earnings of the sue
ceeding two or three months. Production
of iron and steel this year, however,
promises to be much larger than in 1900.
Money rates for commercial uses are firm,
but with declining stock list call rates
in Wall street are easy. The Secretary
of the Treasury has announced that when
$2O,OO0,0O0 government bonds have been
bought the purchases under the recent
offer will cease. The Bank of England

Gave Her Ring for Mi ssiOna.
Romance and self-sacrifice are blended
in the gift of diamond ring by an I'M
known woman to Wisconsin home mis-
sions, announced at the Congregational
convention in Milwaukee. The story of
the contribution was told by Rev. ii. w.
Carter, secretary of the board, just after
he had read his report showing $4,000
deficit for the year. Mr. Carter said it
was an engagement ring and had been
given him to sell, the proceeds to be used
for home mission work. He had been as
sured by jeweler that 1T was worth $50,
and he offered to sell it to the highest
bidder above that sum. Rev. j. n. Da-
wilson of Dousman proposed a collection,
offering to be one of twenty-five contrlbut-
ors of 81, on condition that Secretary Car
ter returned the ring. The collection
yielded $40.3S. The engagement ring will
be returned to the donor, accompanied by
a check from wealthy delegate. The
real romance of the affair lies in the fact
that in spite of parental opposition, the
donor married the man who gave it to her
and was disinherited in consequence.

The increase of incorporation fees is
due partly to the large number of corpo-
rations which have organized this year
and partly to the increased charges for
filing papers. Since July 1 the new law
has been in operation and the charge for
filing amendments to any articles of III
corporation has been 81 thousand, in
stead of so cents as heretofore, and the
fee charged foreign corporations is now
81 for every thousand dollars of stock
employed in Wisconsin.

The World of Dreams.

Still, with that powerful grip upon his
arm, Mr.. George Reeks was drawn
along towards the dark house. Quaking
inwardly. yet filled, too. with very
lively curiosity as to what was going
to happen. At the moment he had no
thought of the $500 which had slipped
through his fingers-or, it would be
more proper 20 say, had never touched
his fingers at all; he merely had dim
wish in his mind that Mrs. sReeks might
turn up unexpectedly and come to his
assistance; the matter was really too
much for him.
Gilbert Rickerby opened a door-the

first night of his creeping back to his
old homeland led the frightened little
man down dark passage; opened an

A Matrimonial Note.

A woman of education and refine
ment announced in yesterdays news
papers, quite as a matter of course,
that she was engaged to a certain man,
whose name she gave, and that she
would marry him as soon as she was
divorced from her husband. And, later
in the day, her 'fiance" confirmed the
announcement.
From an indissoluble bond to a civil
contract to loose agreement at the
pleasure of the parties concerned, the

A Cuban BOxy,

Admission of Cuba into the Union
would mean not only that the nation
was to govern Cuba. but also that Cuba
was to take part in governing the ma
ton. 1t would mean that Cuba would
have voice in making laws for New
York and New England, and the West
and South; not only a voice. but, per-
haps. i'll some close division. deciding
voice, so that, in the gravest affairs,
this whole nation might be governed,
and it's destiny be decided by senators
and representatives from Cuba. That,
we are convinced, is something the peo-
pie Of the United States will never per-
init and will never make possible.-New

The Prey of the Fog Fieud.

The fog fiend has come to London un-
unusually early this year. and has been
busy painting the town. not red, but
drab. He cares neither for curses nor
anti-smoke committees. and he plays
quaint and bewildering tricks in the
streets. Last night. for instance. after
sickening and -suffocating his VIC
Tins during the day, deepening his
tones as black as evening came on he
suddenly wiped off the paint in one
part Of London and allowed people to
see and breathe clearly for an hour,
but only to deepen their disappointment
with another dose of gloom. The effect
of this trick was very singular; the fog

manager of the Andrews Opera Com
pany, with which Antonio Maggie was
formerly engaged as n cornet player,

pany," said Mr. Andrews to-day, "were
in the habit of discussing economic
and social questions and Tony cut in
with his anarchistic doctrines.
Maggie said no man had a right to
rule another, and one day said the
blood of every soldier killed in the
Philippines was on President McKin-
ley's hands. and the only way the COM
mon people could assert their rights
was by assassination. Early last Feb
ruary he told me distinctly to watch
for an important event before October.
He assured me that President McKin-
ley would be killed before that month
came"
Maggie left the company at Silver

An investigation of the local record
of Maggie reveals the fact that he was
the leader of n considerable band of
anarchists in Kansas City two years
ago. These men had regular meetings

THIRD DAY SHOWS A GAIN in
THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 0.-The doctors
began assembling about S o'clock and
it was 9:15 before any OF these came
away from the Milburn house. Pend
ing their conferences there was an
anxious wait. Several visitors arrived,
including eX-Postmaster General Bis
sell and Charles p. Sanger Mr.. Bis
sell was one of the first to emerge
from the house after the doctors had
completed their consultation, and in n
brief general way he summarized the
situation by saying that the conditions
were favorable, although he had no
details.
A few moments later DR.. Roswell
Park and Secretary Wilson came out
together. DIR. Park answered the
many inquiries with cheerful and
very positive assurance of confidence.
''The situation is entirely satisfactory
said he, land there are no symptoms
to cause alarm"
He was asked if the earlier bulletin,
referring to the Presidents somewhat
restless night" warranted any appre-
hension.
Not in the least" he replied. at is
entirely natural that patient in the

some periods of restlessness. But he

CZOLGOSZ TELLS OF
A CONSPIRACY

Buffalo, New York, Sept. 1O-Leon
Il. Czolgosz has confessed to the police
that his attempt upon the life of Presi-
dent Mckinley was the result of a
conspiracy in which many besides
himself had part. So far as can be
learned CZolgosZ has refused to men
tion any name except that of Emma
Goldman, but papers are in existence
which, if they can be discovered, will
lay bare the entire conspiracy and will
result in Wholesale arrests followed by
prosecutions.
Acting under instructions from Sec
retary Root, the police refuse details
of the confession.
While CZolgosZ retains his show of
brlvado, he announces his determina-
tion of entering n plea of guilty when
he is brought to trial.
In his confession CzolgosZ has told
of his attempt to destroy the written
evidences of conspiracy He said time
did not permit him to burn the papers
as he had desired. CZolgosz knew If
he was to meet the President at the
Temple of Music he had to be in line
early.
Before leaving his room in Nowak's S
hotel h gathered all of his papers,
taking them from his pockets, from
his valise and from the drawers of his
table. All We're bound up in one pack
age which lie concealed beneath his
coat.
Czolgosz says he made n circuitous
trip about the city and that at some
point which he cannot describe he
came upon an open sewer. Into it he
cast his papers. Superintendent Bull
has asked him to take detectives to
the spot, but he said he couldn't find
his way there. The sewers are being
searched, and if possible those papers
will be recovered.
But if the search is fruitless it is
not at all improbable that CzolgosZ
can be prevailed upon to reveal all of
the knowledge now in his possession.
