Organizing Combine to Control the Trade of
the World.
CBy the Associated Press

10y the ASsOtIdhtu IitSs4j
Chicago Feb. 23-The Post today says:
plans practically are complete for the
merging of the interests of the firms
that comprise the so-called beef trust.
Unless something unforeseen arises, April
lst, will see the official announcement
OF the incorporation of a securities hold
ing company which eventually may con-
troll the meat trade of the world.
Unlike the popular idea Of the pack
ers' merger, however, for the time being
X is not to embrace everything in sight,
Tor is it to be capitalized at $500, 100000
as announced for the United States
Packers Company Further the plans
contemplate no friction with the Federal
courts because of the recent decision by
Judge Grosscup against the packing
house combination. The nucleus of the
great combination of worldwide inter-
ests, is to be the merger of the smaller
independent plants bought last year by
the big packers preparatory to the gen
eral merger planned at that time. The
securities to be held by the new corpo-
ration are those of the G. H. Hammond
Packing Company, the Omaha Packing
Company the Anglo American Flower
Companies, the st. Louis Beef Company
and the United Dressed Beef Company
and possibly several of the outside stock
wards now controlled by Chicago inter-
ests.
Chicago will be the headquarters of
the combination but as far as the public
is concerned there will be no immediate
change in the operation of the individual
plants under the new regime. 1t is
planned to head the new securities com
pany with present officials of the indi-
vidual companies, instead of the big
packers themselves, or those Immediately
associated with them in the big six
COmnanies.

JOsBPHINE MAILER Is DEAD.
a Demi- Mondaine and Reported Miser---Be-
lieved to Have Buried Treasure.

Josephine Mailer, we'll known char
acter of this city, died at her home on
Cabarrus street, Sunday night about >
o'clock She was said to be about 70
years of age For several years she had
made her living selling second hand
clothes, flowers and trinkets upon the
street. She was believed by many to be
a mser and was thought to have a con-
siderable amount of money, but an ex-
animation of her effects only revealed
$50 in money and an insurance policy
for $3.50, which had been kept up.
Different kinds of rumors were afioat
on the streets yesterday about this noted
woman, one among them was that she
had her regular haunts to visit and
when she would retire at night she would
invariably arise about one O'Clock and
GO to some spot where she would deposit
the earnings of the preceding day. A
few weeks ago this woman lived on
Martin street where she had been for
over forty years in one-room house
known as Winters Row. When forced
to leave on account of the house falling
in, she returned to this place sometime
during the night and tearing down a
portion of the chimney she took out some
treasures she is supposed to have pos
sessed and for forty-eight hours her
whereabouts were unknown. 1t is al
NEST an assured fact that she had some
valuable jewelry, but now she is dead
those secrets peculiar to the life OF
miser will forever be unknown She was
rot known to have any living relatives IN
this city and her nativity has never been
known not even to her most intimate
friends.
The funeral services will be held this
morning, conducted by City Missionary
Stevenson Her remains Will be Inferred
in the city cemetery, where she has lot
of her own, which she bought many years

Ministers Of the gospel seem to be
more fortunate than other people as re-
CARDS their health, for they are seldom
sick. When they are sick, however, they
are generally. dangerously sick. The Rev.
Isaac 3. LeClaire, pastor Of the Baptist
Church of Nashua, n. H., was a sick
man for three years, and he too nearly
died: before help came to his rescue. MIR.
LeClaire suffered terrible agonies for. three
years with, his kidneys and stone in the
bladder. He was treated by eighteen Of
the best physicians in New England, and
attended several hospitals, but every one
was unable to dissolve the stone or get
it out Of his system. It stuck right there,
and Mr.. LeClaire was obliged to stand
the pain. which quickly wrecked his whole
body, and took flesh off Of him at an
alarming rate. z .ss. =. -. - /

and for days and days couldn't even leave
his house. Everything possible was done

years, having both built and presided ovel

because every one is at loss to know
why Blood Wine" popular medicine
selling broadcast throughout the world
at a nominal price, can perform such a
miraculous cure, when the wits of the best
physicians were taxed to their utmost,
without accomplishing anything. No one
will ever know why Blood Wine'' brings
about these great cures, because no one
will ever be able to tell what it is COM
posed Of: A good chemist can make a
partial analysis, but there are three in
gradients that he can't discover-that no
man can discoyer-after the preparation
is mixed. These three things were the
discovery and secret of Louis Daudelin,
the famous French Chemist, and are what
has made "Blood Wine the most power
full, far-reaching, penetrative and disease
eliminative medicine known to science.
1t is largely these three things that makes
"Blood Wine different in its action from
any other medicine; it extracts the poisons
and disease and disease breeding germs
from the system, and at the same time
builds new tissues and gives strength
and nourishment to every wasted organ.
This is why, when "Blood Wine" cures
you, you stay cured. You can't be cured
unless you get the disease entirely out
of the system. No one ever took Blood
Wine without being helped. 1t has made
hundreds of cures of different troubles
| that are just as remarkable as that Of
Mr.. LeClaire, and what it has done for
others. 1T will surely do for you.
