"A FALLING AWAY
In the Business of Forming
 COrpOrpOratiOnS
A Comparison of the Last Six Months With Similar Periods During the Last Two Years-The Causes.

New York, July 5.-The total capi- talization of corporations that filed pa pers in the states of New Jersey Maine, Delaware and New York during the last six months shows a marked falling off, as compared with the cor responding periods of the two preced- ing years. The aggregate capitaIiza- tion was considerably less than $1, 1,00O,- 100000, as compared with S1,595, 900, 900 in 1902, and S3.264, JOG. .OOO in 1901 Dur ing the year 1901 the $1,500, ,OO0, 900 steel corporation was launched.
 The last six months has brought forth little profit to organizers. They have received no encouragement from banking institutions and trust com panies and have been forced to shelve many prospective mergers. Had the banks offered assistance in the matter of floating new industrial enterprises. and encouraged new bond and stock issues of existing corporations, the movement. perhaps, would have been Gs pronounced today as a year or two ago.
 Within the last six months no less than a score of prospective consoIida- tions have been abandoned on account of the attitude of the banks and the indisposition of the public to invest in the securities of new enterprises. A large number of consolida tiosls have been incorporated under the laws of New Jersey within the last twelve or eighteen months that are unable to market share of their respective se- curities, except at a great sacrifice There are number of combines that l have locked their entire capital stocks up. realizing that any attempt to mar ket them would result in ridiculously | low prices.

The park or ravine. studded with buildings. the merry go-r round. the laughing gallery and other amusement ! places were twisted about and all but | the dancing pavilion and large lunch stand were knocked from their founda- | tions.
 The rain continued to fall in torrents. and about o'clock forty feet of the | wall of the dam to the east gave way with a crash.

STUDENTS AS HARVEST HANDS.
Nebraska Will Invite Eastern College

Nebraska Will Invite Eastern College
 Men to Help Gather the Crop.
 Lincoln, Neb., July 5.-Students of eastern colleges and universities are going to receive invitations to come to Nebraska and help the farmers har- vest their crops this summer The state labor bureau has decided to call the students attention to the cheap railroad fares to the west and to the wages being paid for harvest hands, and hope in this manner to secure hun dreds of young men for this work
 The harvest help is one of the great est questions of the west, and annual ly thousands of dollars worth of grain goes to waste because of lack of hands. Beginning in southern Kansas in early June. the harvesters work north as the grain becomes ripe, and September finds them harvesting in North Dakota, thus giving the men three months of steady work at good wages. This year farmers are paying from g to B a day Even boys earn good wages in the fields.

NEW LOUISIANA SOCIETY

 tory Want to Organize.

St. Louis. July 5.-Natives of the Louisiana purchase territory. may be given a special day at the Worlds Fair at St. Louis. Indeed, new and per manent society named, perhaps, Ma tive Sons and Daughters of Louisiana" is likely to result from an idea that originated with F. l.. Griswoid, editor of the Metal Worker, at Minneapolis.
 Mir. Griswold, who is native him self, wrote to Colonel l.. C. Culp, secre- tary of the committee on ceremonies for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, suggesting that a day be set aside as d special day for natives" of the pur- chase. The proposed new society is the outgrcwth of MT. Griswold's sugges- tion, and steps are being taken to effect the organization.
 It is desired that as a preliminary movement the name and address of ev- cry person over q years of age be as- certaineG, no matter where he now re- sides. Any such person will be eligible to membership. in the society. It has been suggested that the organization held it's first reunion at this Worlds Fair on the day to be agreed upon by the founders of the society and the committee on ceremonies. Plans are being considered as to the best meth ods Of equipping museum in one of the buildings on the Worlds Fair grounds for the reception of historical relics and such literary productions as pe'rtan to this region.
 The project has been received with considerable favor in many quarters and it is anticipated that thousands oi those persons born on this vast terri tory acquired 100 years ago will make this Native Sons and Daughters oi Louisiana Day. one of the important days of the Worlds Fair
