Holding On
PRICES BOUND UP AND DOWN

Special TO The Herald.
CHICAGO, April 12.-John w. Gates
reached Chicago this morning on his
way to st. Charles to pay his last re-
spects to his father, who is dying.
The Gates family is strong in its
loves and hates. 1t comes from an
intense stock. on the board of trade
some twenty or thirty millions of BUSH
els of wheat bought for delivery next
month were awaiting Mr.. Gates will.
The market prices nervously bounded
UP and down, principally up. Still this
did not interfere with the speculator's
one thought-to get to st. Charles and
say q last farewell to the man who
gave him life.
Finance shrinks into insignifcance
when it meets filial love. That is pos
sibly why the trading today did not
amount to more than 25OOOO bushels
The father is Asel Gates, who is as
much of a character as his son. He
has been often i'll before and his Won
derful vitality has always pulled him
through, but he is now very near his
end.
A close friend of Mr.. Gates said:
$50 far as the wheat market is con-
cerned John w. is not letting go any
of the transactions in which he Is inter-
ested. He is not of the type to quit"
Meanwhile finance is halted, love and
death holding back the market.

EX-PRESlDENT INVITED TO

PAUL De LoNePRE's HOPES
Mrs. Folsom, Mother Of Mrs. cIeve.
land, Has Promised to Add Her
Recommendation Favorlng
Los Angeles

Paul de Longpre, the famous painter
tertalned hope that ex-President
Grover Cleveland would decide to re-
move to southern California and make
his home In Los Angeles for the re-
mainder of his busy days
Mrs. Folsom, mother of Mrs. Cleve-
land, lately paid n visit to the home of
de Longpre and expressed herself SO
charmed with Los Angeles and its sur
roundings that she had determined to
recommend to Mr.. Cleveland and her
daughter change of location from
New Jersey to California.
II am a warm admirer Of Grover
Cleveland" said Mr.. de Longpre yes
terday, "and L will be very proud If I
can succeed in having him live here.
I am going to write to him at once
and depict the ideal beauties Of south
ern California;
There are others who are simply
waiting an indication of an opportunity
to invite the ex-president to Los An
geles.
Mrs. Folsom did not Of course,
promise any thing more than that she
would recommend the removal to
southern California, but it is generally
hoped that Mr.. Cleveland may receive
a formal invitation to come out west
and live in the sunshine and glorious
beauty Of Los Angeles.
The finest duck hunting in the world
is found in this section, and as for
tuna fishing-it would make the genial
old sports mouth water to hear the
fish stories from Avalon.
If Mr.. de Longpre succeeds in get
ting ahy encouragement from Mr..
Cleveland, the subject would undoubt-
edly be taken off his hands by the
chamber of commerce. %

Mr.. Stephens, assisted by his aged

The Mexican authorities arrested Ste

become involved in litigation almost

The Madison, Ind, Courier, of

"Mr. l.. c. Garrett mas finally
completely arrangements for the
locatlon\ of new industry in Madi-
son, and has returned to his home

from his present factory and load

about two weeks in time to receive
the machinery on it's arrival. The
location of the factory has not been
determined but will be on the ar
rival of the machinery.
"A temporary site will be selected,
as there is no building in the city
that is exactly suited to the manu-
facture of lead concentrates. Even
tually a permanent site suited to
the needs of the business and to the
ideas of Mr.. Garrett, will be erect
ed, which will be about fifty feet
square and five stories high. When
this Is done the lead ore will be ele-
waited to the fifth floor and be ground
and refined until 1t reaches the
ground floor which will be the finish
ing room and shipping department.
The ore to be used will be OBJ
tanned from the Kentucky river dis
trict and will be brought to the city
in barges.
THE factory will not employ ma
ny hands, probably not to exceed ten.
MIR. Garrett comes to Madison very
highly recommended. both as a cit
izen and as an experienced manu-
facturer, and is wthal a very charm
ing gentleman. The location of this
factory without any bonus or ex-
pense to the city is another evidence
of the splendid work done by the
