EDISON co. FILES STATEMENTS.
Makes Haste to Comply With state
Law.

The Edison Electric Illuminating
company Wednesday afternoon filed
Two statements in the secretary of
states Office, covering a period of two
years. According to the law passed
In 1898 every corporation except bank
ing, insurance and railroad corpora
tons, doing business in the state is
compelled to file annual statements
with the secretary of state showing in
detail the authorized capital stock, the
paid up capital stock, the par value
and the market value per share of
the stock paid up, a complete and
detailed statement of the assets and
liabilities and full list of the stock
holders, with the postoffice address
of EACH together with the number of
shares held and paid for by each.
Since the law went into effect the
Edison company has filed but three
statements, excepting the two filed
yesterday. In the fight that has been
Waging over the matter of rates City
Attorney Dreaming and Attorney Da-
vid Overmyer have threatened several
times recently to bring action against
the company looking to the revoca-
ton Of their charter because of their
noncompliance with the law referred
to. Anticipating trouble the Edison
company hurriedly got up statements
covering two years and filed them.
However, two more statements are due
from the company before their posi-
ton is rendered impregnable; they
have filed five. with seven due.
City Attorney Dreaming states that
the two last statements filed are faulty
and of but little value. because they
fail to enumerate the full list of the
stockholders. The company makes an
attached statement saying that be-
cause of the large number of stock
holders it has refrained from attach
ing the complete list.
The committee which was appoint
ed by the business men recently to
confer with the Edison representatives
has not yet gotten together. The com
mittee consists of W. S. Bergundthal,
H. G. Mathews and J. W. Robinson.
They will discuss rates some time next
week.

rusty revolver in his hip pocket as he
surveyed Fairbanks and then made a
quick movement to attack the vice
president.

FRANK FOSTER IN 1T.
Says He'll Be a Candidate for County
Attorney.

Mr. Frank H. Foster says that he
will be a candidate for county attorney
before the Republican primaries held to
nominate candidates for county officers
to be voted for a year from NOvem Der
next. It is expected that the primary
viii be held in the winter or early
spring, as that has been the custom Of
the party here for several years.
Mr.. Foster says that he regrets the
plan of holding primaries so early in
the season, but the probability that the
custom will be adhered to makes it nee
essary to begin to prepare for it very
soon. He expects that the issue will
be squarely drawn between the "Wets"
and the "drys," and feels that his posi-
ton is so we'll known in this respect
that he will not need to declare how he
stands, or promise what he will do.
For years he has insisted that the
county attorney should exercise as
much diligence in obtaining evidence,
and in the prosecution of persons who
break the liquor law as in the cases of
those who commit other crimes, the
we're. The infraction of one criminal
law, in his opinion deserves as much
attention from the county attorney as
the infraction of another.
He also says that the work OF the
county attorney should be performed
with a due regard to the interest of
the taxpayers, the standpoint of whom
he fully appreciates, as he pays each
year several hundred dollars in taxes
in this county, and has done so for
many years, besides representing many
nOnTesidents who pay thousands Of
dollars in taxes every year.

Anyone knows that when a street fair
has to handle its patrons in that way,
that there is something doing in the
box-ofice. From the attendance and
financial standpoint the fair will be a
great success.
So far as the shows themselves are
concerned, it would be difficult to find
anything better of their kind. Almost
everything that sight-seers care for in

 This is one of the ways in which Henry B. Hyde became a multi-mil- lionaire. This is one of the means by which James H. Hyde has been mak- ing money out of the society since his fathers death; and James H. Hyde was quite an apt son, for when the question of the increase of the capital stock of the Equitable Trust company from $5o0. .000 to $1,8o0,000 came up James as chairman of the executive and finance committees of the society thought it was unwise for tha society to take its share of that allotment, but it was a very wise thing for him to take his own share and a very large portion of that which belonged to the society.
 T wish every policyholder of the so- ciety would read MT. Hyde's letter, to which have just referred; read it carefully and bear in mind all the time that Henry B. Hyde absolutely con trolied the society, and when it is stat ed that it declined to do certain things 1t was simply Henry B. Hyde who de- cllned to do those things. Henry B. Hyde represented a great trust on one Side, the money of policyholders, and on the other he represented his own private interests. He controlled both.
 He loved money. What show did the society have in those thransactions?'
