There are two trade secrets that the
outside world, it seems, will never
learn. One is a Chinese secret-the
making of the bright and beautiful col.
or called vermillion, or Chinese red:
the other is Turkish secret-the in.
laying of the hardest steel with gold
and silver. Among the Chinese and
among the Assyrians these two secrets
are guarded we'll. Apprentices, before
they are taken for either trade, must
swear a strong oath to reveal nothing
Of what passes in the workshop.
These apprentices, furthermore, must
belong to families Of standing.

indicted by the grand jury or M1lWau-
kee county Friday charged with steal
ing $4,000 belonging to the Wisconsin
Rendering company of this city. At the
same time indictments were returned
against four others, the charge OF
bribery being alleged in three of the
indictments and one of perjury. The
list of persons for whom capiases were
issued and the charges are as follows:
Charles E. Pfster, capitalist, one in
dictment; larceny. John F. Dittmar,
formerly supervisor, one indictment;
bribery. George F. Reiehert, supervis-
or, one Indictment, embracing IA
counts; bribery. Barney A. Eaton,
state senator, one indictment; bribery
Frank F. Schultz, formerly newspaper
reporter, one indictment; perjury.
The indictment against Mr.. Pfister
alleges that on March 30, 1901, the &C
cused was bailee Of a large sum OF
money said to be $4,000, said amount
being placed in his hands and deposit
ed with him for the Wisconsin Rem
dering company, for the purpose OF
obtaining for the Wisconsin Rendering
company large and valuable contract
from the city of Milwaukee for the COL
lecting, transporting and disposing OF
garbage, and if not SO used and ex-
pended to be returned to the Wisconsin
Rendering company, and not having
bene used for the purpose aforesaid,
and whilst he was bailee of said sum,
did unlawfully, feloniously and fraudu-
lently steal, take and carry away and
fraudulently convert the same to his
own use.
Indictment Causes Sensation.
The indictment caused q profound
sensation. Mr. Pfsetf is engaged in
many of the biggest enterprises of
Milwaukee. He is director OF one
of the leading banks, owns large
interest in a big tannery, is proprietor
of large hotel and owns one of the
leading newspapers of the city. He
has perhaps done as much or more
than any other citizen of Milwaukee in
building up the city.
Pfister Makes Counter Attack.
g. Milwaukee, Aug. 7-Charles F. Pts
ter, who was indicted by the grand
jury Friday, charged with larceny as
bailee of $4,000, has issued defiance
to his accusers, which was practically
an invitation to come forward at once
and prove their case. His action took
the shape of a civil suit commenced
against the Wisconsin Rendering COM
pany, Fred s. Gross, Joseph Schaaf, r.
Schoyer, Charles Friedrich and Henry
y. Killilea. These defendants were
members of the rendering company, or
guarantors of the company's notes, and
I Mr.. Pdster demands the return Of
$6,542 said to be due him.
The suit was followed almost imme-
diately by voluntary statement from
FredC. Gross, president of the render
ing company, emphatically denying
that Mr.. Pfister owes the company any
money, and also denying ever having
made any charges against Mr.. Pfister
before the grand jury of having any
knowledge of Information on which
such an indictment could be based.
