GLUCOSE PR0F|I large
Rumors Of Bad Conditions and
Probable Closing Of Plants
Is Disputed.
President Matthiessen's Finan.
cial Report Shows Good Prof.
its Being Earned.
Quarterly Dividend Declared and
Substantial Sum Carried
to Surplus.

The rumors that have been rife II
effect that high prices of corn and
close competition had knocked The
profits out of the business and that there
were prospects that all plants OF the
Glucose Sugar Refining Company
would be closed down indefinitely is dis.
puted by the statement of the head off,
Ger of the trust. The company has
made money during the past quarter
and every one of the large plants is in
full operation.
1t was stated officially Saturday by
President Conrad III. Matthiessen,
of the Glucose Sugar Refining Com
pany, that the net earnings OF the
company during the quarter ended on
Oct. 81 We're approximately 100000. In
making this announcement he said:
The earnings We're large enough to
meet the dividend on the common stock
on the old basis of per cent if the di-
rectors had chosen to do it. They re-
garded it, however, as more conserva-
tive to pay / per cent for the quarter
and carry a substantial sum to sur
plus
What the motive of adding largely
to the surplus was President Matthies-
sen did not state. Dividend requires
ments for the quarter, consisting Of LIZ
per cent on the preferred stock and /
per cent on the common. are si7S.a43.
which, deducted from 100000, would
leave surplus of s221,0 to be carried
forward.
II earnings are maintained at the
present rate for the balance of thu year
the total profit for the four quarters
would be $2,S0O,000 This compares with
81. go. $50 for the previous fiscal year. In
the preceding years unusual expendi-
lures at one OF the plants was fully
charged off. These amounted to S6S9,9S9
and necessarily reduced the showing of
net earnings. With the common stock
on a 4 per cent basis dividend require
ments for this year would be $1,Si5, 77S
on both classes of stock. Assuming that
continue as in the first quarter
this would leave a margin of SSSf.2
over dividend requirements.
That the earnings during the last
quarter were SO large is q surprise, as
he Independent mills are unable to
make profit at the prices on which the
glucose company has. Some of the in
dependent mills have been forced to
hut down. unable to meet the COMPETE
i've prices. while all the plants of the
glucose company, including the Mar
'halltown plant. are running full time.
rhe capacity of these plants is 100000
bushels of corn day.

SENT UP FOR THREE YEARS.
Former Resident Of City Gets in Trou-
BILE in Chicago.

:
The Chicago papers of Sunday an
pcunce the result of a trial in the Chi
cago courts on Saturday, when a jary
returned verdict of guilty against
Philip Buffer, a number of years ago a
resident of this city and at one time in
the employ of the express companies
Buffer and one of his confederates were
sentenced to three years in the peniten-
.tiary to pay a fine of $1,000. Buffer has
been conducting collecting agency, os-
tensibly, and was an attorney as WELL
and he is charged with conspiracy and
embezzlement in connection with the ar
rest Of Sue Waynik. Or the case the In
ter Ocean says:
Miss Waynik, who is a teacher in
West Side Jewish private school, de-
clared that she was arrested on charge
CT embezzlement on warrants made out
by Justice Scott, of Harvey on COM
PLANT Of VIM, under the name Of Hen
~ Allen, and was arrested by Courtney
and taken to the office of Buffer, at 122
La Sale street, where she was compelled
20 give bond. She claimed the arrest
was made In an effort to brighten her
into dropping the prosecution of Buffer
on similar charge. During the trial
Justice Scott was called to the witness
stand by the prosecution, and said that
ne had been under contract with Bull
Ter, VINO did collection business. to
nancie all the attorneys cases for sal
airy OF $2.50 week, in lieu of fees"

is RATHER INCONSISTENT.
City Demands Railroad Companies to
Put In Iron or Brick Sewer While 1t
nI...l.

1t appears as il the city were not
very consistent in its demands made
of the railroad companies in laying
the big storm sewer on South Center
street. 1t will be remembered that the
city demanded that the railroad COM
panies use either iron or brick in its
under their properties. The
railroads decided on iron. which
is the best, and this week have been
laying 4S-inch cast iron sewer under
the tracks on Center street. The Cen
trail finished its work this week, put
ting in the sewer at a depth of about
fifteen fet below the surface. A wreck
ing derrick was required to move the
immense pipes, as We're also a loconlo-
tive and large number of men. The
Central alone. which had the largest
number of feet to lay, was at an ex-
pense of about $4,000 in laying it's
share. The Northwestern, which has
about finished its work too, will spend
1900 and 1t will cost the Great West
ern about $1,000. Now the inconsistent
part is shown. The city, which is to
lay the sewer between the tracks of the
and the Great Western,
is connecting the two portions of iron
with common plank sewer, lining the
hitch with three inch plank, which, at
best, can not last long, AS conse-
luence the railroads are little sore,
and justly SO.
