Valuable Property in Chicago Said
to Be at Stake.
DEAL MADE BY COL. KING IN 1885
HTS Sympathies Said to Have Been
Worked Upon Through False
10. Representations.

Mrs. Caroline M. King, widow of the
late Colonel w. S. King, of Minneapolis.
is the plaintiff in suit commenced yes
terday in the United States court at Chi
cago. The basis of the action is the
transfer of valuable property in Chicago
by Colonel King to persons who are said
to have worked on his sympathy. So.
The defendants are Lille B. Maher and
Peter S. Maher, of Massachusetts,, Eliza
beth Stevens, of Indiana and Ella AL
drich, Wal lace DeWolf and the American
Trust & Savings bank of Chicago
Mrs. King alleges that false representa-
lions were made to her husband in Feb
ruary, 1885, by Mrs. Maher, who was then
Miss Stevens, and by her aunts, Ella AL
drich and Elizabeth Stevens. By some
such means the defendants are said to
have induced Mr.. King to buy consider
able property. .. L. --.... -...a.
The court is asked to order an account
ing against the defendants and to appoint
a receiver for the property in dispute
until the actual considerations for the
transfer are made known.
Mrs. King had no explanation to offer
this morning as to the false represent
tations'' said to have been made to Col
onel King. b:
She referred all inquiries to repre-
sentative of the law firm Of Louis G.
Ehle & Co., Of Chicago. who came to Min
apolis yesterday to confer with her in
regard to the case
THE fact isl said this representative,
''that Mrs. King knows nothing of the de-
tails Of the case 1t is matter that has
come to her attention quite unexpectedly.
Colonel King had commenced suit against
the defendants in this case to recover
money obtained under false pretenses a
short time before his death. Mrs. King
knew nothing of the details of the case
until very recently, and she now asks the
court to discover to her the terms under
which the transfer in question was made.
There is nothing sensational about the
case
Nothing could be learned as to the de-
PENDANTS.

AUDITORIUM SITES
An East Side Location Likely to Be
Selected.

Selected.
The auditorium plans Of the Commercial
Club have progressed to that point where
the location of the new convention hall is
being considered. In their investigation
the committee has discovered some oppo-
sition to locating the building on the
eust side of the river. However, unless
those who favor more central location
on the west side can furnish information
OF a site that can be secured at a rea-
sonable figure the east side will probably
be favored. The Commercial Club COM
mittee has reached no decision but many
of It's members are favorably inclined to-
ward utilizing the exposition property and
erecting new building on the site.

.ciaI development Of Mississippi
&c shown in this charter record, is
to be found In the growth Of the
cotton seed milling industry. Dur
ing the year there we're twenty-five
cotton seed oil mills incorporated,
with & combined capital stock Of
practically 81, 900, 900, to be exact,
81, 095, 900. These mills are nov
in operation OF in process Of con-
strnction To be operated during
The season Of 1902-03, which
opened on Beptember 1st.
There is net 9 state In the South
that hes accomplished anything
like A muoh Is Mississippi In the
development Of thisi peculiarly
Southern industry. There has
been, seemingly, q mania for IN
vestmeut In this particular chan
mel. There IL nOasectiOn Of eoun'
try in the world that takes rank
with the delta portion Of Missis-
sippi in the production Of cotton,
and this may In part be regpopsi'
BILE for the phenomena record in
that portion Of the state, But 70
this must be added the natural
dispOaition Of capitalists to invest
their money in this particular
industry.
The cotton seed oil business is
comparatively new, but those who
have put their money into It haye
.reaped 8 rich harvest ia the shape
Of dividends, and those who have
money to invest In the smaller
towns Of the delta country ere
proving their abiding faith in this
industry by putting their capital
into il as. rapidly as they can.
Foreign capital has figured to
some extent in the development Of
cotton seed milling in Mississippi
during the year, but the greater
portion OF the money was That
which belonged to men OF that
state, and the record is all the
more remarkable on that account.
A good deal has been said
recently about the high prices
paid for cotton seed in Missis'
sippi, but one important point has
been overlooked in these discus
sions-the growth Of new mills,
The addition Of twenty-five new
plants, most of which are now in
operation or nearing completion,
has created more intense eompe-
tition than has ever been known
in that state, and to this competi'
ton, more than anything else, are
due the high prices which have
prevailed and which are still pre-
valent.

Tom McNeas In Topeka NAH and Breeze.
A farmer man, who sent his boy
to college, learned that his son
was the champion golf player Of
the institution. The old man was
not onto the game of golf, but he
made inquiries until he was fairly
well posted; in fact, he made a
special trip to place where there
were golf links and watched the
thing until he had sort of caught
onto the theory of the game.
About that time he learned that
his son was contemplating going
ont on a golf tournament along
with the balance Of his club. This
moved the old man to write as iOl-
lows: ''mY deer william: Your
