WILL FORM A TRUST
Harvester Combine to be Organized
BY Feb. 7,19O7.

Chicago, Dec. l7.-Unless plans which
are sanctioned by j. Pierpont Morgan
and agreed to by the holders of at least
$lO0O00,000 out of $l20,OO0.O0O of the
capital stock of the International Har-
vested company fall through, Feb. l.,
1907, should see the complete financial
reorganization of the great farm imple-
ment trust
Tentative contracts which have been
signed by the chief stockholders call
for the conversion of $l2O,OOO0O0 of
capital stock of one class into like
amount of new stock, divided into $780,
100000, per cent cumulative preferred
stock and $6O,OOO,00O common stock;
the retirement of several interests from
active business management of the COM
pany, and general change in the staff
of officials
The expectation is that the new Sc
curities will be listed on the New York
stock exchange, which, if the plans are
carried through, will give the stockhold-
ers a broad market for their securities,
and enable them to retire if they desire
to do so.

Two Hearts Beat as One at New Uim
Couple Were Unawares.

lawfully married and still ignorant
of their martial relations, the hearts
of young couple at New Ulm beat sep
alately for nearly two weeks. They
were welded by civil officer and did
not discover the fact until they were on
the point of having a Catholic priest
perform the ceremony.
When the young man went for his
marriage license he took the ride-elect
with him, and on entering the office of
the clerk of court, John Larson, inform
ed the latter that they wanted to get
married. Inferring that they desired
quick services, Mr.. Larson provided them
with Il matrimonial permit and escorted
them to the office of Probate Judge S.
A. George, where the short civil cere-
mony was read without either realizing
that their destinies had been Joined for
life. Then they went to their respective
homes and awaited the day when the
priest was to make them man and wife.
The happy day finally arrived, and
when the minister asked to see the Ii
cense the innocent and unsuspecting
bridegroom produced the marriage certi-
ficate issued by Judge George. They
had been married almost a fortnight and
had never known it.

STATE POULTRY SHOW
Preparations Being Made For the Big
Event In Minneapolis.

From Mondays DAILY.
The twenty-first annual exhibition of
the Minnesota State Poultry association
will be held in Minneapolis Jau. ID to
%. This show has perhaps made greater
advancement i'm the past five years than
any other show i'm America and this
years exhibition promises to be still bet
ter than any of its predecessors. 1t has
done more to dignity poultry industry
by its educational influence than any
other thing, and created an interest
among the farmers of this great North
west in poultry production which means
that much of the grain crop will be fed
to such purpose with better profit as
soon as the great Armour packing plant
at Minneapolis gets to taking all that
can be raised at Il good price for canning
purposes.
No show in America has made a bet
ter record for promptness in paying its
premiums than this one has Secretary
10th invariably has checks drawn, rib
bons and score cards in readiness for de-
livery to every exhibitor before the close
of the show, and this year he has the
cash on hand to pay every obligation
that may be incurred. The association
owns one of the finest single coping
system in America, and every Judge en-
ployed has always been one of those
with national reputation.
The cash premiums have been raised
to So for first, 81 for second, So for third,
and 81 for fourth; seventeen thousand
people attended the show last winter,
which should be born in mind as great
advertising advantage to exhibitors.
Twenty silver cups will be competed for
in various classes, with a valuable list
of other specials and every specimen win
ming a place. from first to fifth receives
one of the associations handsome silk
ribbons, while many of the speciality
clubs offer cups and their ribbons in adj
dition.
This show is exemplary for neatness
and its management for promptness and
absolute integrity. Over a thousand
dollars is spent each year for special ex-
hibits. This year the Wallace Evans
exhibit of oriental birds, pheasants and
all spOrtsman's varieties of game birds.
in connection with the great fish exhibit
and other attractions will be the. best
ever attempted. In fact. secretary 10th
says that it will be winter carnival of
high class order never attempted else
where. Premium list ready for mailing
and all entries positively close January
