it will be like every other public in.

will be changed to the eighth grade,
while the old high school room will
be used for the seventh, and the fifth

st. Paul, Aug. In the federal
court today, judge Lochren decided
the celebrated merger case in favor
of the Northern Securities company,
thus reversing the trial court, and
and defeating the contention of Cover
nor Van SAINT. The state will now
appeal the case to the supreme court
of the United States. After review
ing the evidence Judge Lochren holds
that the Northern Securities company
was only a purchaser of the stock of
the MOI them Pacific and Great North
ern railrt ad companies; that it had no
authority too fix rates Of t1ansporta
ton, or in any name contro. the
competing lines except as the secure
ties company can vote as a stakeholder
in electiug directors of the respective
companies. One point limited at in
the decision is that the Northern Sc
cureties company purchased the stock
of the Northern Pacific and Great
| Northern from stockholders as indivi-
duals. and not from the corporations.
| Judge Lochren hulds that the state
law of Minnesota, under which the
state was prosecuting the case, must
receive the same construction as the
| Sherman antitrust law in respect tc
railroads, and that until these roads
combine for the purpose of fixing a
freight or transportation rate, the
statute has not been violated. 1t is
a fact deduced from the evidence that
the purpose Of the transfer of the stock
Of the two companies to the Northern
SECURITIES was not to in any manner
effect the cost Of transportation o
freight. but to prevent a forced
slaughter of the stock on the market
This being the purpose. the statute
has not been violated, and the cour'
could not infer a criminal intentio,
to control the freight rates Of the tw'
companies and get rid Of the csmpeti
ton.

Eestor was about 80 years old. He
was member Of New York fam
lily which traced its wealth and an
cestry to the sixteenth century. His
fortune was an independent one;
and, though his tastes were expen-
sive, he did not live up to his income.
1t would take volume to recount
tho journalistic exploits of Walter
b. Hestor. He built the splendid
steam yacht the shark" and en-
ployed it in his worldwide search for
sensational news: He took 200 pas
sengers from q sinking liner, and
was decorated by four governments
for bravery. In every war the
SHARK" was in the foreground. It
was the Hestor yacht that ran the
batteries at Havana and escaped
from the harbor with valuable news
and information. At every signal of
trouble Hestor and the "Shark"
were sure to be on hand long befo%,
the representatives of other pape( u,
were aware that news was brewing.
At his own expense he established
system of espionage on all the courts
of Europe. Hestor was known in
every palace of royalty, and in few
years became recognized as the most
brilliant newspaper correspondent in
the world.
At the time this story opens Mr..
Hestor had returned to New York
after cruise in Philippine waters.
He was interviewed by all the news
papers, and his portrait flashed
from hundreds Of prints in all parts
of the country. He was proud and
happy of his success. His mind was
ever alert for some scheme which
would emphasize his fame. He re-
garded his foreign triumphs as but
stepping stones to some great coup
which would immortalize his name.
Hestor was disappointed when he
learned that Mr.. Van Horne had de-
parted recently on secret mission

to Europe. At first he thought OF
joining him, but finally decided to re-
main in New York for time and de-
vote his energies to matters OF local
interest. Hestor was greeted warm
~ at the clubs, and found himself a
popular hero. He was welcomed at
the theaters and some of his news
paper exploits were made the subject
of a topical song and rendered with
great success at leading vaudeville
hall. For some time he had led life
free from care in company with con-
genial spirits, who were glad to shine
in his reflected fame.
At the office of The Record Mr.,
Hestor had luxurious private room,
as befitted his rank as the special
envoy of the paper. One afternoon
he received a message from his old
friend Sidney Hammond, stating that
he would be in the city for two days,
at the end of which time he would be
compelled to make a western trip on
important business. Hestor was de-
lighted to hear from Sidney Ham
mond, and at once arranged theater
and supper party in his honor.
A party of eight occupied the Hes
tor box at the opera and thoroughly
enjoyed la Boheme." Walter B.
Hestor and Miss Edith lie Roy; Sid
ney Hammond and Miss Olive, his
sister; Mr.. Converse and Miss De
Neuville; Mr.. Blake and Miss Mere
dith, constituted the merry group
which at the conclusion of the opera
mingled in the fashionable mob, ant
after the usual delays and annoy
ances found themselves in carriages
speeding toward Fifth avenue.
There was q crush of carriages In
front of Delmonico's. 1t was the
night hour when New York attains
the height of its feverish activity
The avenue was alive with swift-mov'
ing equipages. An army of lackeys
was busy receiving the arriving
guests. Inside the massive doors, the
strains of IN orchestra throbbed IN
an air of heavy perfume. The glare
of light from thousands of electric
globes was reflected from glass ano
marble, but subdued by palms anc
masses of roses.
A table had been reserved for Mr.
Hestor and his guests-brave in its
array of linen and flowers, and Its
glitter of cut glass. AS Mr.: Hestol
entered the hall he was recognized
by scores of friends and for a few
moments held an impromptu recep
ton.
When this social duty was ended
Miss Edith lie Roy took prompt
charge of certain details-as was the
wont of this vivacious young woman
Mr.. Hestor had seated himself next
to Sidney Hammond. Miss lie Roy
had no idea Of oonsenting to such a.
arrangement

bat at this writing nothing is known,
except that these four great capitalists
have completely disappeared. Their COM
bined wealth is estimated at 500 1000"
The street crowds received the
news calmly. They did not believe
it. But they bought the papers.
The news came by the way of Wall
street. Strange rumors had been in
circulation all the morning. A
sense of impending trouble perme-
ated the crowd of brokers which
clustered around the standards on
the floor of the Stock Exchange.
The curb brokers on Broad street
were uneasy, as they waited for the
hour of ten. The market opened
strong and then sagged. 1t was a
few minutes past eleven o'clock
when the ticFers in thousand Of
fees stopped in their task of record
ing quotations.
There was splutter of dashes on
the tape. Customers gathered
around the pedestals. There was
news coming. They anticipated the
announcement of an important fail

Consolidated Exchange house was in
trouble. The following message
spread itself along the tape:

KIDNAPPED.
"All about the Kidnapped Million
aires!! Record Extra! All about
the Great Mystery!! Record EXtra!"
Hundreds of newsboys poured from
an alley and dashed into the human
currents which surge at the conflu-
ence of Nassau street and Park Row.
In q moment the air was aflame with
the red headlines of the Record Ex-
ira" 1t was not necessary to buy
a paper. The type was so large that
1t told the news to the passerby.
For a week the Wall street boom
had been the sensation of New York
and of the country. The perpetual
excitement which reigns within the
shadow of Trinity church had per-
meated Office and counting room. 1t
was the whispered topic of converse
ton among clerks, and the noisy sub
ject of debate in hotel lobby and
corridor. The jargon OF the Stock
Exchange was incorporated into met
ropolitan English. The tales of for
tunes made to the clicking music OF
the ticker, aroused the cupidity OF
thousands, who saw in the whirl OF
speculative frenzy the prospect OF
wealth without work. Newspapers
fed the fame and Wed in displaying
and narrating the golden exploits OF
magnate and operator.
On this' Tuesday morning headlines
and text covered the front page OF
the New York Record and proclaimed
the following story:

Al American waterloo.

Wellington at Waterloo and Meade
at Gettysburg each held the highlands
against his antagonist. Wellington on
Mont Saint Jean and Meade on Gene
terry Ridge had the birdseye view Of
the forces of attack. The English bat
teries on the plateau and the Union
batteries ON Cemetery Heights COM
handed alike the intervening undula-
tons across which the charging col
umns must advance. Behind Mont
Saint Jean, to conceal Wellington's
movements from Napoleon's eyes. were
the woodlands of Soignes. Behind
Cemetery Ridge, to conceal Meade's
movements from the field glasses Of
Lee, was a sharp declivity, a protecting
and helpful depression. As the French
under Napoleon at Waterloo, so the
Confederates under Lee at Gettysburg
held the weaker position. In both cases
the assailants sought to expel their op-
ponents from the stronger lines. /
might add another resemblance in the
results which followed. Waterloo de-
creed the destiny of France, of Eng
land, Of Europe. Gettysburg, not so di-
rectly or Immediately, but practically.
decided the fate of the Confederacy.-
