working capital In other quarters, this view is combatted and the theory ex- plotted that the property is in sound shape, but will have need for earnings to properly carry on the business. The Republic Steel and Iron company Is look ed on as one of the strongest of the inde- pendent concerns, being able to supply it. self with most every kind of raw material and of working 1t into finished products. The only thing it seems to lack is wire mill and it is on that account that the election of Mir. John w. Gates to the directorate Is given news importance. Mr. Gates is popularly supposed to be one of the best equipped wire manufacturers in the United States. His investment in large block of Republic Steel stock is said to foreshadow the erection of big wire nail plant, and thereby beginning active competition with the United States Steel Corporation. Looking beyond that, some shrewd people see in the move cam paign to compel the trust to take over the independent property. Negotiations to that end have been commenced and drop ped half dozen times in the past Close

While the general public has been inter- ested with the frequent publication that he is being ground under the iron heel of Mir. Rockefeller and the Standard oil crowd, he has, in fact, been putting his house in shape. and in the whole world there is probably today not large bank ing institution standing more strongly upon it's own bottom than the one con trolled by MT. Morgan. That he has sui fered some prestige there is no doubt, but in the possession of cold cash and banka- ble resources. he probably is better en- trenched now than at any time in his his- tory. I have said this several times Tn recent correspondence, and wish again 10 go on record in the same way. The news papers are weeks and months behind the times in the discussion of MT.

Mir. James J. Hill and his associates for execution in the event of an adverse deci- sion by the supreme court in the North ern Securities case. That case is to be argued this month in Washington, and a decision is looked for sometime within the ensuing three or four months. An earnest effort has been made from time to time to produce the impression that the deeis ion is going to be in favor of the Hill combination. but the burden of advance informa tion" is to the contrarys The chances are strongly in favor of the confirmation of the findings of lower court. If this view turns out to be correct, there will have to be an entire reorganization of dissolution of the Northern Securities combination, something which can not be otherwise than of the very highest market import ance.

friends of Mir Gates say that he will not take an active personal part in the man agement of the Republic Steel.

He was badly frightened about himseif last summer when at Saratoga. He ral- lied quickly, but of late has not been We'll He is, at present, at or near Port Arthur, Texas, where he has important interests, and advices from him as to his condition are not as reassuring as they might be, although he says he is feeling really bet ter than for a year or more.

cess the market having developed more stubbornness than they like to see Ex- perienced traders. who are neither welded to the bull nor the bear side but who are governed by impartial judgment of conditions have been buying moderately in anticipation of a December or Janu- ary boom. Consequently prices do not react. and the bears are having some trouble in getting back their commit ments. This has produced a market st- nation akin to deadlock. and once more commission houses and brokers are wail- ing and discussing dull times.
 The passing of the preferred dividend of the Republic Steel and Iron company is variously construed. It is accepted as a confession of an unpleasant truth in connection with the steel and iron trade. but it is not upon this point that discus sion hinges In some quarters, the ac- tion of the directors is held to be be- lated admission that previous dividends were unjustified and that the earnings which were distributed to stockholders should have been held in the treasury as

Mrs. Hattie Moore Thought She Was
Adopted Daughter of the Late
Mary Eliza Gibbs.
ERROR DISCOVERED WITH WILL.
Supposed Adopted Daughter Had Asked
For Administration of the Estate and
Would Have Received Nothing.

The discovery Of the fact that the
late Mary Eliza Gibbs, of the town OF
Bristol, had left will has proved to be
lucky discovery for MRS, Hattie
Moore, who, by the terms of the will.
is one of the legatees of the estate aHd
this same fact is coupled with discov.
cries that have been made since the
will was filed which would make it i'm
possible for Mrs. Moore to be ore of
the residuary legatees of the estate.
Mrs. Moore Until Wednesday had
thought that she was legally adopted
daughter of the deceased Bristol pio-
neer, but at that time it was discovered
that the papers for her adoption had
never been regularly filed and there is
no record to show that she has any
rights to share in the Gibbs estate
other than those given her as 1egatee
in the will.
Mrs Moore was the daughter of a
family of Hollanders and when she was
little girl she went to live with Mr..
and Mrs. Gibbs. She was known as
Harriet Gibbs and her foster mother
seems to have been of the opinion that
the adoption had been legally made as
in the will Mrs. Moore is referred to as
an adopted daughter. After the death
OF Mrs. Gibbs short time ago Mrs.
Moore, who is resident of Milwaukee,
filed, through her attorneys, Carroll &
Carroll, of that city, petition for the
administration of the estate of the
woman who she supposed legally
adopted her. The petition was prop
erly entered in the County court, but
shortly afterwards will signed by
Mrs. Gibbs was found by her brother,
E. r. Castle, and ii was filed for pro-
bate. The will, Of course, did away
with the necessity of the petition for
administration.
Had the petition for administration
been allowed to go in the court, Mrs.
Moore would not have received cent
from the estate as the discovery of the
fact that she was not legally adopt
cd daughter would have removed her
chances of sharing as an heir in the
estate. AS it is now she will receive a
large bequest given in the will, but it
is hardly possible that she will be al
lowed to share in the division of the
real estate of her foster mother as this
is assigned to the residuary 1egatees Of
the estate.
It is possible that the discovery made
will lead 10 an effort to have the will
set aside, and should this action be
sustained Mrs. Moore will lose her
rights to any of the property of the
estate.
The will was filed for probate in the
County Court on Tuesday, and will be
heard in the order of its fling.

Peter Rhode Will Start Into Business
Again on the West end of Prairie Ave.
Prairie Avenue is to have hotel
and Peter Rhode the veteran hotel and
restaurant man has announced that his
new holstery right opposite the plant
of the Chicago -Rockford Hosiery
Works will be ready to open by the
middle of next month. The ground
work on the hotel is all but completed.
It will be three stories in height. The
lower story will be of concrete con-
struction and the upper stories will be
frame. The building will contain
forty-fve sleeping rooms besides the
usual par1ors and dining rooms. AS
the hotel will be situated outside OF
the limits Of the city the city council
will not be asked to grant license for
the bar privileges connected with the
institution. The hotel while under the
proprietorship of Mr.. Rhode will be
under management of Chicago parties
and it is said that it will be operated
as a first class hotel in every way.

ANOTHER FACTORY CHANCE.
Implement Manufacturing Company Look
ing Toward Kenosha For Location.

Implement Manufacturing Company Look
ing Toward Kenosha For Location.
Notwithstanding the lack of inter-
est shown by Kenosha people in the
locating of factories in the city Mayor
Pfennig is still receiving propositions
from plants seeking locations. Wed.
nesday the Mayor received a letter
from Stephen D. Demmon, of Chicago,
asking if Kenosha would consider a
proposition of a plant in the city for
themanufacture of farm implements.
The Chicago man states that the com
pany will give employment to FIVE
hundred men. The name of the COM
pany is not mentioned but II is intimat-
ed that the company is now doing
business in Chicago. Mayor Pfennig
has referred the matter to leading real
estate men in the city for cosideration.
Since the business mems association
died natural death there has been no
association to take charge of factory
propositions. All efforts to reorganize
the association seem to be useless.

TRAIN rs FIRED ON.
Railway Detectives are Searching Kenosha

and Vicinity for Guilty Parties.
Special detectives of the Northwest
ern railway we're at work in Kenosha
and vicinity Wednesday investigating
the sources of rifle bullets which were
fired into the trains of the company
Tuesday narrowly missing several
passengers. The train was first fired
upon Tuesday morning just south OF
Racine when two bullets crashed
through the windows and buried them
selves in the walls of the coach and on
the return trip of the same train in the
afternoon it was fred at again. The
detectives Of the railway company
have not as yet called on the local po-
lice for aid in the search for the guilty
parties and no report of the occurrence
has been made to the local Office. The
railway officials are determined to run
down the guilty parties and every pos
sible clue is being followed up by the
detectives.
