AN ADOPTED BOY
SECURES A FORTUNE
He Was Seeking Work Thirty Years
Ago, and Attracted Notice of Be-
nevolent William Mayer.

KENOSHA, Wis, Sept. 1s.-Joseph
A. Mayer, formerly poor orphan boy
of Milwaukee, came into the county
court Saturday and was named as the
administrator of the estate of the late
William Mayer, which is valued at
$4,000, to which the former Milwau
kee boy is the sole heir.
Thirty years ago the heir to this es
tate was Joseph Allmeyer. His father
and mother were dead, and while he
was walking the streets seeking work
by which he might support his sister,
Pauline, he was noticed by William
Mayer, who was then a wealthy Mil
waukee business man. The boy at
tracted the attention of Mayer, and the
two became fast friends.
Mayer and the boy appeared before
Judge Mann in the county court at
Milwaukee, and he was formally
adopted. With the death of his adopt
ed father he has become the heir to the
Mayer fortune.

but was standing by his belief in high
er prices.
September corn went up to 59Ac.
The trading was heavy, especially In
the deferred options Of May and De-
cember. The battle as to these was
said to be chiefly for it's effect on the
September quotations. Cudahy was
making drive after drive at December
and May corn, in the hope Of lowering
the price of September. The strongest
Of the weapons turned against the
shorts was the estimate that the con-
tract stock of corn would be reduced
to 100000 bushels by tomorrow night.
With the end Of the month near, 1t
was pointed out that a fancy settling
figure might be exacted from the
shorts. 1t was also added that Mr..
Cudahy would not appeal to the courts
against the settling price fixed by
final tradings on change. The country
was free seller, sending reports that
the frost had not injured corn appre-
ciably. What corn is damaged can
be used in making whisky. Russia
was offering corn in Liverpool at below

Argentina reported good export de-

very scarce. The packers are making
SO head on every beef they kill

Mr.. Campbell says the large proper
ton of stock now being marketed is

fact. The National Cattle Raisers' as
sociation, which will meet in Kansas
City next winter, has already notified
the packers that it will fight the con-
solidation to the end.
