INVESTORS COMBINE
CAPITAL.
Their Interests, They Form an
Enormous and Powerful Syndicate.

One of the new moves in the financial
tention lie the pooling Of interests by small
investors. A st. Louis arm, the Prudential
Investment Co., Is the prime mover in the
plan. This company receives the money OF
thousands OF small investors, and, combin-
ing them, form gigantic sums that enable
deals that pay handsome profits TO the in-
diYidual members OF the pool. This Is a
new phase Of the Community-of-Interest
Idea made so popular by j. Plerpont Nor

Of small investors, while Mr.. Morgan's com

Of the wooded shades. whose ray flowers
are white, though their disk flowers are
red gold and lemon yellow, ripening to
deeper tones as they grow old. The char
acter OF these autumn blossoms is such as
to challenge every eye, and indeed 1t is
chiefly now that the element OF daring and
vigorous splendor comes into evidence, and
the earth grows rich with the glory that
none can pass by. 1t is the garnered sun
him Of the centering life Of the year that
new echoes the great orb in which is en-
bodied and from which proceeds the very
inner vitality and energy Of our familiar
earth. What a tremendous revelation is
this-not the gentle, tender, slow graces
that begin the floral year, with their shy
spiritual apparition as arbutus, hepatiea,
pyrola, l~innaea, partridge berry and such
silent woodland flowers, that must be
sought in their seclusion. Even the tall,
white daisies and buttercups seem retiring
as the blaek-eyed susans take their places
In the fields. There are still recluse beau
ties in the woods, but who thinks Of them
in the brave onset of the golden rods, pur>
pie asters and the sunfowers-nowers that
seem to say. as the poet appealed TO the
rose:
Suffer yourself to be desired
And not blush so to be admired.
1t is Interesting to note how the ripen-
ing OF LEAKAGE into fall color begins

shots were fired from the marauder's re-

heavy odds, as the burglar had the double
advantage OF being the heavier and stronger

that the sum Of s1.s0s, which VAS the diff
ference between the reasonable cost OF the
bridge as fixed by the commission and
the cost as shown In the contractors esti-
mates, be deducted from the final esti-
mate.
This motion revived the old con-
troversy as to the manner in which
the proceedings relating to the bridge
were conducted and in the course
After the discussion COMMISSIONS
o'Keeie asserted that the records did not
show a portion Of the action which the
board was alleged TO have taken. He was
asked by COMMISSIONS ostrom why. II he

ala not state hat fact to some Of the other
members, and replied that every saloon man
In town had heard him say II. In re-
Spouse to that Commissioner Connolly said:

The resignation of otto Pfeifer as fireman

that Mr.. Pfeifer had a grievance which
might be adjusted.
A bill of Joseph Decker for corn de-

to $500, was taken from the committee
and allowed, as the corn had been bought
with the understanding that It was a cash
transaction.
The bills Of the South Omaha assessors

Land Case compIeted.

Des Moines, Nov. 29.-The tran
script of evidence in the case of the
big land controversy in Sac county
was filed with the register of the
United States land Office yesterday.
This case involves 1000 acres of the
best land in the Boyer valley lying
along the tracks of the Chicago and
Northwestern. 1t Is land which was
originally surveyed as swamp land by
the government and disposed of to
the present occupants as such by the
state and county. It was afterward
claimed by the railroad company as
indemnity land and sold to purchas-
ers through railroad land COM
pany. The issue is whether or not it
was in fact swamp land when sur
veyed fifty years ago.

change in the names of the various

volunteers. Now the names are
changed from the Forty-ninth to Fifty
second and are given the names Fifty
third to Fifty-sixth inclusive. At the
same time there is some rearrange-
ment OF the military districts and a

Burlington company is changed from

THREATENS IOWA MERCHANTS
Masked Man Wanted Money Left In
Designated Place.

Wright, Ia, Nov. 29.-At 2 o'clock
a. m. masked man summoned John
Blaisdell, leading merchant, to his
door and left note instructing him
to dress and go to a designated spot
and deposit $50 in a receptacle placed
there for that purpose. The note said
1T was useless to try to telephone for
help, as the wire had been cut, and
that failure to comply with the de-
mand would be followed by the dyna-
hitting of his residence. Blaisdell
summoned help by telephone. Inves-
tigation discloses that the wrong wire
had been cut. A posse went to the
spot designated by the robber and
found the receptacle as described in
the note, but the masked man, who
had doubtless watched their move
ments, had disappeared.
