Other Millions Divided

Of the 100000 shares received by the syndicate, 10000 were distributed pro rata to those forming it, and an addi- tional 10000 divided among them as a bonus, the syndieate's profits thus be ing. it is alleged, over $l,00O,00O, of which one-half. went to Lewisohn and Bigelow. The remaining 10000 shares worth s500,000,, were divided between Lewisohn and Bigelow, to repay them for "expenses and serviees' performed in connection with the transaction, al though 1t is charged in the bill that the actual cost was not more than s6,OO0.
 Bigelow was elected president of the reorganized company and Lewisohn treasurer, and the offices of the corpora tion were moved to Boston in 1895. Lewisohn died in 1902, and it was not until after his death, according to the bill, that an investigation of the com pany's affairs could be made and the facts disclosed. Suits were then insti- tuted by the company at Boston and New York, for rescission of the mining claims, and other actions were brought to recover the two millions and more of profits made through the reorganiza- tiou of the company

Lightning Kills Mother and Son.
St. Paul. Mrs. Clara N. Lemon an6
her 14-year-old son, Clarence Lorraine
Lemon, were instantly killed by light
ming at their home, Ill Van Buren,
street, Hamline.
Death came instantly to them.
Mount Lemon, - years old, was un.
hurt, although he was only a few feet
away.
Mrs. Lemon had been cleaning house
and when the storm came up she was
hurrying to get several articles from
the clothesline. The last was carpet
which hung across two wire lines be-
tween two trees. Under the carpet,
which formed tent, the two boys had
been playing, and the mother called
them to come out and help her. They
both came out and the older boy stood
directly under one line with his mother
while Mount stood about six feet away.
just as they were about to reach for
the carpet the bolt came. Mrs. Lemon
fell backward and Lorraine forward,
almost at the feet of his brother.

kinds of people to make world, so
we find one struggling for justice
and one fleeing from it. One man is
saving to build a house and another
is trying COO sell for less then cost to
get rid of it. One man is spending
all the money he can make to take
a girl to the theatre and sending her
flowers, with the hope of making her
his wife, while his neighbor is spend
ing what gold he has in getting q
divorce. One man will escape all
the diseases that flesh is heir to and
get killed on railroad. while
another will escape without a
scratch and die with the whooping
cough. One man will stand off his
creditors and 60 travelling, while
another pays his debts and stay at
home. Verify. things are mix
