Kingman sent an agent into Indiana
and bought up the deeds held by the
sheriff after the foreclosure proceed
! ings. Two weeks ago Jamison's home
stead in Peoria was sold and it is
now said that the once half-million-
aire is badly tied up.
Made Money Rapidly.
In the bill filed with Jamison as
complainant he attributes his present
financial condition to the Vaccinations
of Martin Kingman- He recites how
the firm of kingman & Co. was in
corporated in 1882 with a capitalize
ton of 100000 in 1000 shares of the
par value of 800 each. of which King
man held l 1867, JamisOn G66 and G
H. Schimpff 267 shares. It's business
was SO profitable that at the end of
the first year it declared and paid a
dividend of 80 per cent. In 1889 the
capital stock of the concern was in
creased from 100000 to 100000 and
JamisOn became the holder of 1871
shares. So much money continued TO
be made that the surplus profits were
used in creating new corporations and
in the end there were the original con-
Germ of Kingman & Co. with a CAPT
tai of $500, 900; the Kingman Imple-
ment company of Omaha 5000 900 :;
the Kingman-MoOre Implement COM
pany of Kansas City. S25O.OOO; the
Kingman Implement company of St.
Louis, 100000; the Kingman Imple-
ment company of Texas. 100000: and
the Kingman Pillow company of Peo-
ria, 100000, making a total capitali-
cation of S1,S50,O0O. in which Jamison
claims to hold stock of a par value of
s5SS 900. but really worth $75O.OOO, and
on which he cannot realize.
KIngman is Dictator.
He states in the bill that Kingman
arbitrarily forced him out of the CON
Germ and then tried to destroy his cred
it; that he caused all the locks of the
cOmpany's buildings in this city to be
changed, also changed the COmbina-
tiOns on the safes and vaults; ignored
him at the meetings OF the directors
so that JamisOn could not get a sec
Ond to any of his motions; that he was
dominated by Kingman when he was
intimately associated with him and
that when he was discharged on short
notice as vice president and general
manager Of the company his desk was
removed and an unknown man was put
in his place. He declares that King
man has tried to buy his stock at
price far below its actual value; that
he has incurred large liabilities and
has had to put up his stock as security
and that he is practically helpless.
The bill covers As pages of typcwrit-
ten legal cap and is divided into p
chapters. each one of which tells a
narrowing tale, while the entire bill
reads like those novels which are put
on the market in yellow covers.

Writ Taylor. the Rock Island COM
mercial traveller. returned today from
an extended business trip in Canada.
Mr. Taylor has many very interesting
things TO tell of the business condi-
tons in Canada at the present time.
and the iss.:,s OF rho camp aigh which
is now on in full blast there.
The campaign is in many ways a
much more interesting one than our
own presidential contest, as the is
sues are of gTaver Importance. There
are several issues, and the faction
now in power is fighting hard to re-
tain it's control of the government.
One of the principal issues is the ac-
ton of the ruling party in connection
with the construction of the Grand
Trunk Pacific railway, which has its
main offices in Chicago. and which. if
built. will have its terminal point
within the boundaries of the United
States.
Big sum for Railroad.
1t is proposed by the government,
if reinstated, to eXpend about $150,O0O =
900 for the construction of the road,
and then to turn over the entire sys-
tenn to the railway company. This
measure is being fought hard by the
conservatives. as much on account of
it's evident value to American interest
as the dislike of corporation interests
getting such a big lot Of government
money. The question of reciprocity
with the United States is an issue
Though the conservatives desire the
reciprocity. they consider that in past
treaties with this country they have
not had just treatment. and are afraid
TO enter another compact at present.
The governing party is severely crit
iciSed for not having used its power
to settle the Alaskan boundary ques-
ton, instead of giving up the task and
allowing commissioners appointed by
the crown to settle the dispute. 1t is
held that the commissioner from Eng
land gave the United States the best
of the question. where Canada was
prOpOrtionately i'll treated. The gov
eminent permitted the Canadian gov

II has been a matter Of common

c. A. Jamison, once the right hand

ident in half a dozen corporations
which bear the Kingman name, had
been reduced from aff1uence TO con

Wednesday the matter became pub

was filed in the office of the Peoria
circuit clerk by c. A. 'JamisOn agaPst
his Old partner and all the members
of all the companies with which King
man is associated and in which he de-
cIares that all his stock in those com
panies is virtually tied up; that it
amounts in all to $3.50 shares of a
par value of s5SS. 900, but really worth
$500 He therefore calls for an
accounting and asks that a receiver
be appointed so that he can be given
