amicable basis of adjustment will be reached in a

It is understood that within few weeks con-
ference Of railroad will be held in endeavor
to arrange the per diem matter upon an intelligent
basis. 1t is regarded almost certain that the

Fenton Lockport North Collins and Model

The accumulated net surplus in the treasury
is more than sufficient to pay the dividend OH

GET 7%% FOR YOUR MONEY

Offered with Common Stock Bonus.

I told the public in yesterdays New York
newspapers that ! had been authorized to offer
for public subscription 1000 shares of the per
cent cumulative preferred stock of the Erie Pre-
serving Co. at its par value Of 500 share and
] added that with each three shares subscribed
fof would give, as a bonus, one share of the
common stock of the Erie Preserving Co, the
latter having fixed book valuation of $92.
I renew the offer to-day. My first announce
ment revealed large and growing demand for
a trustworthy, conservative investment. Many
who visited me knew quite as much concerning
the Erie Preserving Co. as nv intimate ac-
quaintance has disclosed, and were only too
glad Of the opportunity TO place their money in
business so famous and secure.
At this hour it is impossible to say how many
shares remain of the 1000 at my disposal, but
I shall continue TO receive good-faith orders OH
the understanding that it may be necessary to
limit the number Of shares obtainable by any
one applicant.
I attribute the remarkable response of Thurs
day TO my enviable position among conservative
investors. During the years have been before
the public financial agent-and l am now
the largest individual financial agent in the
United States-I have been connected with
many unprecedented successes. but in no in
stance has my name been identified with a fail

CHIEF TAYLOR IN
4 PRISON CELL

Chief of Detectives Taylor now has
little cell all to himself at the police
station. He moved in yesterday and
is very much at home, having had his
telephone, roller-top desk, electric fan
and other working apparatus shifted
into what will be his private Office and
headquarters from now on. This cell
is next to the coy quarters occupied
by Lionel Hart during his stop with
Sheriff Iaukea.
This move ON the part of the Chief
has been made necessary because of
the very many persons dropping in to
see him without having any very par
ticular business, and too much of his
time has been taken up in attending
to things that the clerks in the office
could very well do. His former Office,
next to the Sheriff s Office, has been
found rather too public, too, and
this has hindered the quick discharge
of work in some cases. After this
those who want to see the Chief viii
have to announce their business or at
least show that they have something
which can not be attended to by some
one else who has not the many duties |
on his hands that the head of the
detective force has.
