WHY eILLErr FAILED.
Explanation Is Made to Creditors by
the Plunger's Attorney.

Kansas City, Jan. 1.-The failure of
Grant G: Gillett, the former Kansas
cattle plunger. to attend the meeting Of
his creditors at the Coates house was
explained by one of the active mem
bers in the meeting as follows:
'Gillett Insisted on coming to Kan
sas City against the advice of his at
torney. @. w. 1urd and left his nome
in Fostoria, O., for Chicago Sunday
night. Wher he reached Chicago Mon
day his attorney again advised him to
return to his home, as he coulG not
accomplish any more by his presence
AS he is negotiating several big mining
deals in New York the attorney felt
that the wide publicity his presence
here would attract might have a ten
dency to retard the success of his new
schemes. Gillett evidently took the
same view and remained away The
attorneys In the case and some of the
creditors insist that there is no danger
Of criminal prosecution. which was
advanced as a reason for his failure to
attend the meeting called at his solicit
tation."
Gillett win pay the expenses of the
committee that is to visit the mining
property he is Offering his creditors.
At least that is the promise that was
made by G. w. Hurd, his attorney, yes
terday. The committee is b. F. Death
erage, attorney for several of the cred
itors. and Charles A Shaeffer, who
was a creditor hiplself
MI. DGcStn6IdS5G IdS- MINING interests
not far from GiIlett's. He occasionally
makes triDs into Mexico to see the
mines and is familiar with the country
and able to talk to the inhabitants in
their own language. Mr. Deatherage
says the committee can employ ex-
perts who live in the country if it finds
that experts are needed. The country
in which Gillett has mine claims has
some very good mines in it. but no one
who has yet talked with the committee
has had 1afT7aT In la~a Of
lett has.
Mr.. Hurd made a little talk on behalf
of Gillett. After explaining Gilletts
feelings on the subject he said his
client now owned some mining proper
ties in Mexico which he wished to turn
the creditors to share in proportion to
their claims as depoSitors in a bank
that has failed are paid. He asked the
creditors to investigate the proposition
for themselves and pass on it after
having seen what he had to offer.
The fact is the creditors are ready to
talk about anything that can possibly
promise to be convertible into cash
now or in the future. The creditors
appointed Charles A. Shaeffer, former
ly of the Holmes Live Stock Commits
sion company, and B. F. Deatherage a
committee to go to Mexico, find out
what Gillett has to offer and report
to a later meeting. They will prob
ably start for Mexico about February
/. Gillett will be with them and show
them around.
1t was stated in the meeting that
careful search of records in all the
counties where Gillett could have had
mortgages recorded shows that 100000
will cover all Gillett's liabilities at the
time of his disappearance. Some of
these claims were partly paid when
the creditors fought for the cattle and
other assets Gillett left behind.

REIMBURSEMENT.
Dun Says Industrial and FL
naneial History Of Year
Can Be Summed Up in That
One Word.
A CHEERFUL OUTLOOK
Recovery in Business Is Looked
for This Year.
Holiday Trade Closed With a
Rush Says Bradstreet.

New York, jan 1.-The annual review
of trade of R. G. Dun & Co. says:
REIMBURSEMENT is the one word that
sums up the industrial and financial
history of the United States during the
year 1903. From the lowest point of de-
preston in 1867 to the zenith of
prosperity and commercial activity in
1902-1903, the course of business was
well defined and uninterrupted although
numerous events occurred that were
calculated to check even this great mo-
mentum. But five years of expansion
in trade and manufacture brought
financial and industrial excess. The re-
suit wa7 the building of bigger barns, .
the pref -atfon for more business than
appeared and the capitalization of the
hopes and expectations of the future
The past year has chiefly been devoted
to retrenchment Assimilation of Securi-
ties was only accomplished by the
drastic remedy Of 80 per cent reduction
in prices. 's
Accumulation of iron and steel found
a market only with the aid of lower
prices and curtailed production. In the
process of readjustment there were
many failures, the number being espe-
cially large in the last quarter. Some
industries have not shared in the reac-
ton to any appreciable extent and this
provides an element of uncertainty re-
garding the future. But in many Sec
lions of the country and in numerous
walks of life the setback has reached
such proportions that there is reason to
look for recovery in 1904.
BradStreet's says:
Clearance sales by retailers and Job
bers have furnished about all the ac-
tfvity noted in distributive trade in a
week usually quiet and devoted large
ly to stock and inventories. Holiday
business closed with a rush and a vol
une of trade equal in most cases to
the best heretofore recorded. Cold
weather has aided the distribution of
provisions and seasonable goods.

SHOOT AT ST. JOSEPH.
Kansas City Team Win First Honors
With Kansas Last

St Joseph, Mo-, Jan. kansas City
won the Schneider trophy cup offered
by the Schneider Arms company of
Kansas City, in the team shoot at Lake
Contrary. The event closed the first
midwinter shoot and was contested
strongly by the four teams, Kansas
City. St. Joseph, Omaha and an all
Kansas team. Clayton, Cockrell and
Holmes of the Kansas City team killed
"a birds out of Z. possible %.
The Kansas City team made a score
of 1T out of a possible 125. Omaha
stood second with 112 birds to her cred
it. st. Joseph and the all-Kansas team
tied for third place with a score of
no.
The closing of the three days shoot
marks the first effort of the st. Joseph
guns to hold midwinter affair in the
city. 1t was successful in number of
shooters entered and financially. The
Metropolitan Gun club will undoubted-
ly make the shoot an annual affair in
the future and the prospect is good for
a larger number of entries next year.
.5St. Joseph wiz be represented at the
midwinter shoor at Omaha, which will
be held the latter part of January. The
men shooting in the team at that time
will be practically the same as at pres
ent.

Cincinnati Jan. IAN important
baseball conference was held here at
the St. Nicholas hotel, at which Presi-
dent PuIIiam of the National league
and President August Herman of the
Reds we{e present.
Speaking ON baseball matters in gen
eral, Mr. PuIliam said: ITO my mind,
the seasbn OF 1904 will be the most
prosperous in the history of baseball
The national game has been placed on
a busineEss basis, without losing any of
it's charIl as a sport. Most of the Ma
tionaI | league club owners have
strengthened their clubs and the race
for theh1ag in 1904 should be a most
spiriIe5@ one. The Reds will doubtless
be streH gthened in base running and
team Wbrk and will doubtless be more
formidable than at any time since the
present owners purchased the fran
chise THE New York team has been
greatly Strengthened by the acquisition
of Dahfen, who is a finished inf1elder,
and with that strong corps of pitchers
should be troublesome all season. Mr.
Brush s club has enjoyed a season Of
uninterrupted prosperity and I expect
to see larger crowds at the Polo
grounds next year than ever before. OF
coursei the club that beats Pittsburg
will win the pennant. Dreyfuss will
have his lines out for some promising
men and will have few surprises be-

FINANCIALLY EMBARRASSED
The Disappearance of Mr.. John Dis
kin Is Accounted For.

Pittsburg, Kan, Jan. 1.-The mystery
which surrounded the Disappearance of
John Diskin, a prominent farmer of
Grant township, this county, about two
weeks ago seems to have been explain
ed. After every effort had been made
TO locate Diskin, and the search aban-
doned, the State Bank of Walnut came
forward with a mortgage upon thirty
six head of mules and forty head of
cattle and upon looking up the stock
only one-third of them could be found.
An investigation revealed the fact that
he had disposed of them, and that finan-
cia1 embarrassment was the probable
cause of his disappearance and not foul
play. Other creditors have appeared
on the scene, and it is stated that Dis
kin was deeply involved. He is a wild
