acquainted with Segal about this time,
and whoever else had any cash to
lend, for Segal now devised one OF
the most extraordinary of his schemes
With less than $4,000 in cash, he
decided to pit his abilities against the
mighty sugar trust with it's millions.
His plan was to build refinery il
Camden, frighten the trust into the
belief that he intended to fight them
and cut prices, and then, profiting by
their desire to protect their monopoly,
to sell out the plant to them at an
enormous advance in value.
It all happened exactly as he intend
ed
When the plant was completed the
trust capitulated, and paid Mr.. Segal
$1,000,O00 for it. The greater part OF
this was clean profit to the Austrian
The prestige of this success devel'
Oped Sega's reputation to a point
where any amount of money was at
his disposal, and with the help OF

The record of success was not
however, maintained. He tried to
| work the game. on the match trust
that had been so successful with the
sugar trust, by the completion of a
large match factory, but he failed to
make the sale.
Then he resolved to go after the
sugar trust again, but on much more
elaborate scale. He built in Philadel-
phia a mammoth refinery. with all the
latest appliances, fine pier, landing
place for vessels and railroad sidings.
The enterprise cost $3,500,000. Part
of this money he got in New York,
and here he overreached himself, for
the broker who furnished him the
New York funds was acting for Mr..
Havemeyer of the sugar trust, who
took 81 per cent Of the stock for his
advance Of cash.
Naturally Segal could not sell to. the
sugar trust that~whieh already be
longed to them. Hence the great plant
stands idle. It has never turned a
wheel.
Then he conceived the Bridgeport

Praises Cuticura Remedies.
"Our baby had that dreadful COM
plant, Infantile Eczema, which aflict-
ed him for several mont'"s, commenc.
ing at the top of his head and at last
covering his whole body. His suffer
ings were untold and constant misery,
jim fact there was nothing we would
not have done to have given him re-

NINETY days he was fully recovered.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has
ALWAYS been our greatest pleasure.

His little shop was the humblest, but
his brief stay there taught him that
he could quickly get what he wanted.
When only a humble soap toiler, mer-
chants listened to his ingenius argyll
ments and gave him credits they
would extend to no one else He never
lacked for funds.
One day while at work a new pro-
cess for making wax paper occurred
to him. He worked it out. and then
took it to a big concern and sold it.
The New York Paper company was
the purchaser and the price $20,OOO
Many a man used to very small
things would have thought this a
windfall and have been contented to
put it on a small interest, and con-
tinue to live on the moderate but as
sured profits of the now growing soap
business.
But this was too slow for Segal
The $4,000 strike had opened the
eyes of the Austrian immigrant as to
how easily money could be made once
a man got on the right track.
He went to Camden, N. j., and made
money as a merchant. Then he saw a
chance to get control Of Camden ware
houses.
He needed $4,000. He had no secur-
ity to offer, nothing but his word and
limitless confidence that he would
make the venture pay. Another man
going out on this proposition would
have failed disn,ally, but Segal quickly
found a wealthy brewer, named Mas
sey, told him what he wanted, and
before the beeraaker could catch his
breath segal had his check for $780,
600 in his pocket.
He madc this good, and quickly, for
his warehousing scheme paid hand
soDlely. After that Massey, would
have helped the persuasive ~Segal to
any amount. - -

Trade of Some Great Ports.

Some figures have been prepared
recently showing the value of the
trade of the great ports of the world

it appears that the trade of London is
worth e295 ,000, 900 a. year, while that
of Liverpool stands at .G277, 100000 a
year. The figures for the other great
ports are as follows: New York,

Crossing the Line.

One of the most persistent of popu-

pears on or about Sept. p, to mark the
aUtumnal equinox.
In spite of weather bureau records
the Oldest inhabitant recounts the
equinoctial gales of the past, and
among the people in general there is
a deep rooted belief that the line
which separates summer from autumn
is crossed by the sun only after a
struggle and with throes, the effect OF

Sweet Peas Freshly Picked Effectual-
ly Destroy the Annoying Insects.
A local druggist, says the Spring
field Journal, has found a new agent
for the destruction of flies that for ac-
tivity and effectiveness discounts any
thing heretofore offered for that pur.
pose. And not only is it harmless,
but it is a thing of beauty as we'll.
After selling annually thousands of
sheets of fly paper of sticky and poi
soEed varieties and ton more or less
of insect powder the new antidote OF
the pest bids fair to supersede all pre-
vious methods with him and those Of
his friends who are in the secret.
For several days the druggist, who
is a lover of flowers, has had upon his
front cases punches Of sweet peas of

Kansas City Markets.

Stock Yards, Kansas City, Mo, Tues
day, August IA, 1906.
Cattle trade is more lively this
week than last, the market is strong
er and receipts are heavier, 5000 in
two days. The first two weeks of
August, however, show shortage of
81 900 cattle as compared with same
weeks last year. The main reason is
the good pastures all over the terri
tory surrounding this point, causing
owners to hold back while their cat
tie are doing so well. A feature of
the market In the last week is the
big demand for stockers and feeders
Some buyers had to go home empty
handed last week, account of lack of
supplies to go around. In the killing
line good cows and heifers are selling
the best, although, of course, dry lot
steers are scarce and selling higher
each week. One drove sold at $500
today, equal to the best time this
summer, but steers of this degree of
finish are rarely received. The good
to choice dry lot steers sell at $3.50 to
$3.50, corn and grass steers $500 to
$3.50, heavy grass steers $3.50 to $5.15,
light grassers, including Kansas graz
ed Texas steers S3.40 to $40. Choice
dry lou heifers sell at S4.75 to S5. 25,
bulk of heifers $3.50 to $3.50, good
grass cows $500 to 1915, veals higher
I this week, best ones Sc. 90, heavy veals
$3.50 to S4.25, stock calves $500 to

day and today at the low point. Light
hogs sold strong today, but the top
was same as last two market days,

Some rough heavy hogs have to sell
at 1886 and $500, with 5000 the

pounds. Run today is $4,000 head,
