PLAN TO CONTROL SUPPLY.
Wisconsin Farmers in Union 10 Sc
cure Uniform Prices for
Their Products.

Baraboo.-The American Society OF
Equity, an organization composed OF
farmers in Wisconsin, held two days
session in this city. Over 100 dele
gates from all over the state were in
attendance. The object of the meeting
was to control the supply of all prod
ucts till the markets are ready for il
and in this way bring to the producers
all the benefits that are derived by 9TH
ers from storing vegetables, fruits,
eggs and the like at a time of plenty
and low prices for Il time of scarcity
and high prices. 1t is distinctly stated
that the new organization is not to be
a trust, but it is proposed to eliminate
the individual as a marketer of his
products and market them through the
association, though they may reach the
consumer ultimately through the same
channel as now.
One of the results of the new system
of marketing will be the greater uni
formity of prices and an increased con-
sumption of all products comprised in
the class over which this proposed as
ISOLATION will have control. For In
stance, the producers themselves or
their association will control the sup
ply until the demand is ready for It.
Then there will be no 10 cent eggs in
the summer and so cents in the win
ter. But only enough eggs will be mar

YOUNG WIDOW WILL

OF HER FATHER-IN-LAW
Disposition of Estate of Samuel S. Brown, Ptsburg
Magnate, Reveals Scandal.
LEFT MUCH MONEY TO HIS LATEST PET
att SuppIanFed Wife in the Old
Mans Affections Will Was Made He
Lag On Death

Better an old mans darling than
a young mans slave" runs the old
song.
Probably Martha +. Lewis will con-
cur, but Mrs. Grace McGoodwin
Brown, daughter-in-law of the late
Samuel S. Brown, Smoky City mag
nate and multi-millionaire, can hard
ly be expected to!
Idolized and petted by her father
in-law for Is years, taught to con-
slider herself his heiress, and intro
duced everywhere as his daughter, she
finds herself left a paltry $4,000,
while her supplanter, Martha f..
Lewis, has been given sum exceed
Ing s250,000.
And a contest in the courts which
will enrich lawyers and furnish sensa-
tions to satisfy the most scandal
hungry dame is promised.
For Mrs. Brown and all the rela-
tives of the dead millionaire assert
that his latest will, executed on his
death bed, was made under undue
influence and is unjust and unfair.
Worth Over 100000.
Samuel S. Brown died last Deem
Der. He left an estate scattered all
the way between Pittsburg, New York
and New Orleans which is conserva-
lively estimated at $20,000,000. He
also left will which is the bone of
contention.
Mrs. Brown, young widow Of the
dead magnates only son, had been
told that she was to be his bene-
ficiary. A goodly portion of the
estate was to have been hers. Yet,
when the will was read, she found
herself cut off with paltry batch of
brewery bonds, and these to go should
she remarry.
But Miss Lewis, bitter enemy Of the
millionaire's daughter-in-law, bene-
flied to the extent of a quarter of a
million and more She had already
supplanted the beautiful Kentucky
belle as the head of the old mans
household before his death That was
the last straw; then came the open
breach.
1t is a strange story-hoW these two
young women came into the life of
the millionaire. There were a son
and a daughter whom the old% man

heart.
"You must stay here with us, my
DEAR" said the millionaire, "and be
my daughter, too. | know Will would
have wished it So"
Old Mans Daughter Dead.
So the girl stayed along with the
old man, and year after year made
herself better loved by him. Then
came another blow-his only living
child, his daughter Nellie, died in
Italy.
81 am afraid my poor old heart will
break" said the old man, bowed un-
der this added weight of woe.
There was no one to turn to save his
daughter-in-law now. He called her to
him one day soon after the funeral,
and said:
Stay here with me, for l am left
alone. Be the head of my household,
and when | die you will be the same
in my will as if you were my own
daughter. And why not? Are you
not the wife of my dead son, my only
boy?"
But the girl did not need this prom
ise She loved the old man as the
father of her boy husband. Her sis
ter came to live. with them and sire
took her place at the head of the
Brown household. The servants were
instructed to obey her in everything,
and wherever she went she was in
troduced by the millionaire as "my
daughter Grace, my sons widow, dear
to me as my own"
Everywhere it was understood that
the young widow was to be his heir
ess. Folks were told that Mr.. Browns
life was insured for 100000 in her
favor.
Martha Lewis Appears.
Mrs. Browns sister married and
she went back to Kentucky with her
for visit That was the beginning
of the end. When she returned she
found that Miss Lewis had been asked
to live at the Browns.

way of making clear how things stood,
Just take Marty and buy her some
things, and show her how to wear
them

ed to call the pretty girl he had in

ply the demand at a fair price. The
balance will go into storage for tho
producers account, or in storehouses
owned by the producers, and will come
on the market in the winter at about
% cents a dozen. The uniform and
moderate prices will induce much lar
ger consumption.
With apples it will be similar The
time when growers get one dollar
barrel in the fall and consumers pay
six dollars in the winter will be past,
and SO on down the line on other prod
ucts.
1t was decided not to undertake to
control prices this year, but to wait
until the organization is stronger.

Young Mrs. Brown baked some, but
she did as she was told. But she
refused to introduce the girl to her

Gifts were showered upon her just
as the were upon Miss Grace Brown
For awhile things went along smooth

Brown gradually discovered that she
was being undermined. Miss Lewis
finally got control of the establish

The other Browns-brothers. cous

that Mrs. Grace Brown be brought

gone, to give tone to the household.
