ing session outlining the attitude of

gar manufacturing establishments OF

I'VE, the beet growers of the state
of Colorado, in convention assembled.
declare that it is not our purpose to
encourage controversies between our
selves and the various sugar nanufac-
turing establishments of the state, but
rather to encourage the closest and
most friendly relations between our
selves and state companies; that we
realize the fact that our interests and
the factories interests are one, and
that our only purpose in suggest
ing change in the beet contract is to
promote our interests without crippling
or antagonizing the interests of the
factories"
The change mentioned refers to the
new contract OHefeu DN the GreaL
Western Sugar Company and other
companies. This matter was disposed
of in the afternoon.
In the contract the companies offer
to pay So IL ton for beets where they
are eighty-eight per cent. purity and
fifteen per cent. sugar, but where the
sugar runs twelve per cent. they agree
to pay only $3.50. The growers de

Bureaus Allowed More Money.

Denver.-The meeting of the state
auditing board held Wednesday after
noon resulted in the allowance of 5000
to Curator w. c. Ferril and Il. X
Whitehead of the bureau of child and
animal protection, to finish paying the
expenses of their offices. The business
in those two offices has so greatly in
creased during the last few years that
complaints are frequently made by
these officials that they need more
money. 1--WE try to run our Office just
as economically as ever before, but
there is naturally more business and
we cannot keep expenses down." said
Mr.. Whitehead.

Melting Silver Dollars.

San Francisco.-The continued high
prices of silver, between 65 and &C
cents per ounce, is causing heavy ship
,ments of Mexican dollars melted into
bullion through this port, Seattle and
Vancouver to the Orient. The ship
ments are being sent from Mexican
points under heavy guard in the ex-
press company's cars. 1t is said that
during the past sixteen days $13,0OO,-
900 in silver bullion has been brought
of Mexico for shipment to the far East
fro mthis coast.
; In financial circles predictions are
heard that silver is going to 70 cents
because the surplus production is linn
fted, while demand is constantly grow
ing.

CHICAGO FAILURE
JOHN r. WALSH'S THREE INSTITU.
TIoNS SUSPEND OPERATIONS.
0EP0sI1ORs WILL BE PAID
Clearing House Comes to the Rescue
Walsh Claims That Securities
Largely Exceed Liabilities.

Chicago.-Three OF the largest finan-
cial institutions in the West, the Chi
cago National Bank, the Home Savings
Bank and the Equitable Trust Com
pany, all of them controlled by John
r. Walsh of this city, and in great
erations Monday. Their affairs will be
liquidated as rapidly as possible and
they Will go out of business
Mr.. Walsh who was the president of
Equitable Trust Company, has re
signed. C. II. Bosworth, national bank
examiner, has succeeded Mr.. Walsh at
the head of the Chicago National Bank.
and the places of the directors have
been filled by men appointed by the
Chicago Clearing House. Back of the
new management stand the allied
banks OF Chicago, who have pledged
their resources that every depositor
Shall be paid the last cent and that no
customer of any one of the three insti-
tutions shall lose anything by reason
of the suspension. Had not this ac-
tion been taken by the banks of this
city, disastrous panic must have fol
lowed in the financial world.
The immediate cause of the collapse
of the Institutions controlled by Mr..
Walsh is said to be the large amount
of money which they have loaned to
various private enterprises of his
notably the southern Indiana railway
and the Bedford Quarries Company of
Indiana.
Mr.. Walsh claims that if he could
have had little more time and been
left untrammeled in his operations. he
could have saved ms Danhs ana made
enormous profits for himself and his
associates. He bases this statement
on his estimate of the value of the
bonds of the Southern Indiana Railroad
Company.
The comptroller. the state auditor and
the members of the Chicago Clearing
House committee place the value OF
the bonds at one-half the valuation of
Mr.. Walsh and it was their refusal TO
accept his valuation that caused the
suspension OF the banks.
The liabilities of the three institu-
tions are estimated in the aggregate at
S2G,00O.000.
Against this amount the banks and
the trust companies have resources
that are on conservative estimate
worth s16.00O,0O0. The bonds of the
Southern Indiana Railroad Company
are estimated by Mr.. Walsh as being
worth SlG,000,000. They are considered
by the comptroller and the clearing
house committee TO be worth little
more than half that sum.
The directors of the two banks and
Mr. Walsh. who has turned over all of
his private property, as well as that
standing in the name of his wife, have
pledged real estate and securities val
ued at s5000O00, and estimate the
railroad bonds at sS ,0O0. 900 more, maxi
ing total of S29,000,000 assets
against $4,000, 600 liabilities.

BANKER WALsH'S cAREEh.
Started Life as Newsboy and Made
Millions.

Chicago-John r. Walsh, whose
banks and railroad enterprises have
tumbled about his ears, is 6S years OF
age and has lived in Chicago fifty-eigbt
years. His parents brought him from
Ireland when he was 10 years of age
and turned him loose to make his way
He began as n newsboy. saved his
money, opened n news stand, which
eventually grew into the American
News Company, continued to save his
money. bought bank stock. and in 1882,
backed by men who had faith in his
business ability, he founded the Chi
cago National Bank,
He speedily learned the relation be-
tween banking and politics and reached
out for state and county and city funds
and got them Five years later he
took over the Home Savings Bank
Then he organized the Equitable Trust
Company and bought the Chicago Her.
aid. One year after selling the Her
aid AZ established the Chicago Chron-
'icle. This gave him strong POLITICAL
lever and he became tremendous
financial and political power. He then
began buying up street railway and gas
systems and dabbling in railroads
The Southern Indiana railroad, his
pet venture, was too heavy for one man
to carry and it broke his financial
back. He had two opportunities to un-
load it at valuable premium.
, Personally he is taciturn and little
given to appearing in public. He has
made and broken many men and built
up vast enterprises. His failures have
not shaken Chicago financial institu-
t1ons. On the contrary, they are
stronger thereby.
To-day thousands lined up and drew
their money. Nearly s3,000,000 was
paid out. Every grade of humanity
was in the lines, from the millionaire
to the ragged newsboy.
Payment was made IN gold, and az
many OF the depositors were women,
they Immediately sought secluded cor
ncrs to conceal their money. One
woman, who seemed much perplexed.
admitted that in her excitement and
haste to get to the bank she had for
gotten to put on her stockings and had
no place 70 carry her wealth.

Two Scotch Stories.

years ago had strong views on the SUBJ

line was the rage girl came to school
with very extensive one, which much
exceeded the space between the desk
and the form on which she had to sit.
The teacher, seeing this, said to her,
"Gang AVA home and TAX off thae

school as God made ye."
Another rough, and ready dominic
was examining his boys in a catechism
and asked if God had beginning.

TRAGIC IN ITS BREVlTr.

The Story of the Duel Between Ham
ilton and Burr.
The story of the Hamilton-Burr duel
is tragic in it's brevity. The little party
of fve-the principals, their seconds
and the surgeon-was on the ground
not long after sunrise. The prelimi
naries We're soon arranged. AS Pen
dleton, Hamilton's second, gave him
his pistol, he asked, ''Will you have
the hairspring set?'
'Not this time," was the significant
reply, and then the men faced each
other.
According to the best authorities up
on disputed subject, Burr fired at the
word. At the report, Hamilton started
forward with a convulsive movement,
reeled, involuntarily discharging his
pistol into the foliage above him, and
fell headlong. Burr, with an express
sion of pain upon his face, sprang to-
ward him, but Van Ness, his second,
seized him by the arm and hurried him
down the bank and into their boat.
Hamilton. being lifted up, revived
for moment and gasped, 'sThis is a
mortal wound, doctorw Relapsing
again into inconsistencies he was
again revived by the fresh air of the
river. "Pendleton knows" he said,
trying to turn toward his friends, "that
did not intend to fire at him.
At " the afternoon following he
had breathed his last.
