BOSTON STORE, Council Blufts, Ia Going to Arizona McNaughton and leave this afternoon where the doctor will go into educational work, Mrs. McNaughton accompanies her husband in the hope that the change of cli- mato will be benefieial to her health, which bas become seriously impaired since her re- turn from California. It will be a matfer of sincere regret to thousands in this city, and more than ordinary concern to educa- tional Interests of the I'r. Me- Naughton concludes to accept some of the many strong inducements that have been offered recently to him to take up his line of work in other cities. During the years | that he was at the head of the cducational work in this eity he brought the public schools up to the highest standard of excel- lence, a standard that has required the best talent available to maintain. Under his man- agement the public schools were advanced in | a most remarkable degree, and the standard of the High school scholarshlp raised to meet | the requirements of the State university, | Ann Arbor, Harvard and Princeton, enabling the graduates of the Council Bluffs High school to enter these universities upon pre- sentation of their diplomas without re-exami- nation. As there are scarcely half a dozen cities in the union where high school grad- uates are thus favored the high character of his work here is as apparent as it is appre- clated. However, the doctor expects to re- turn in the spring and take up the normal work here that he was compelled to tem- porarily abandon on account of the drouth and hard times. It is earnestly hoped that | Mrs, McNaughton will return with her hus- band in greatly improved health. Dr. James Naughton Mrs, Me- for Arizona A Great Showing for the Home Co.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 26.—The protective reorginization committee of the Santa Fe rallwey bas lssued a circular to every stock- holder, in which the Reinbart management s bandied with extreme candor. The clrcular invites all the stockholders to foin the pro- tective reorganization committee and asks \em to deposit their holdings, in return for which they will get negotiable certificates of deposit. The circular states plainly that its alm is to prevent the foreclosure on the Santa Fe property and to “inaugurate a new and clean administration, thoroughly repre- sentative in character and in no wise iden- tified with its present unfortunate embarrass- ments." The circular states forcibly that the in- dividual holders of stock are helpless and these results can be accomplished only by a co-ope: ition, of all of them. This circular has been kept as much a secret as possible with its large circulation and was yesterday first made public. After explaining the pur- poses of the reorganization committee and the difficulty experienced in getting reliable data, the committee promises to submit definite plan for reorganization. The circular says: “The committee has prepared a tru agreement, under which the stockholders are requested to deposit thefr shares with th trust companies named below, for which ne- gotiable receipts will be issued and by the terms of which the stockholders are per- mitted to withdraw thelr stock if they so de- sire, Application will be made In due time to ve the negotiable certificates of d:posit d on the New York, Boston and London stock exchanges. There will be no defense to the bill of foreclosure now pending in the courts. The company has defaulted on its interest obligation and acknowledges its in- ability to meet its fixed charges. Under these conditions, unicss there is a uniformity of on on the part of the stockholders, a ee of foreclosure iv sure (o follow at an early date, and to wait until that takes place is virtually to suffer the forfeiture of our in- terests. To escape such a result immediate a ntrated action is imperative, The stockholders are urged to make their de- posits with either th: Farmers Loan and Trust company, New York; the Atlantic Trust con y, New York, or the American Loan and company, Boston.” conc President Newell of the Lake Shore Dead.

The exciting times In the senate and in- teresting proceedings of the senate Surar trust investigating committee have brought before the public the great combinations of capital as they have never been before, Out- side the moneyed class little 1s known ot trusts, their working methods, or thelr quo- tations on the stock market. The Standard Oll company has been the best known for years, as it is about the olde and strongest, and as a ri It of its propensity to gobble up anything from a single ofl well to a million-doliar refinery, obtained a notoriety not relished by the incorporators af the com bine. The same words apply to the Sugar trust, with the e ption that their notorfety is a direct result of dabbling in politic Outside of these combinations very little is known of the methods or titles of the many combines, It is generally known, say ton Star, that a trust is formed for the pur. pose of controlling preduction of certain articles, and if this purp is attained suc s s assured The ratio of success to failures is about one-half, demonstrating that it is quite a different matter to conezive a thing and to put it into successful opera- tion The very latest failure in the trust line the umbrella ccmbine. Their first efforts to control the cutput appeared to be successful but theic capital proving inadequate they went o the wall with a rush. Another trust failure that has proved a boon to the general reading public was that of the Book trust One year ago the averzge price for a novel from the pen of a reputable movelist was o 75 ce that is, bound in paper—while today the same edition can be bought for 10 cents. The more costly bound books have also taken a great drop, but as thi class of reading matter is generally copyrighted & standard price prevails. At the book stalls one frequently overhears remarks to the cffect that it cannot be understood how books can be sold so low with profit result- ing therefrom. It is well a known fact that one of the publishers contrsls a patent press that turns out 4 book, pr.nted, pasted and bound at an average cost of not quite 2 cents. What a nice profit at 10 eznts, and what a huge one at 50 cents. In conversation with a well known stcck broker a reporter recently gleaned consider- able information about trusts and their methods and capital'zation. Among the long list of stocks qu-t:d daily aud published are a number of trusis whose names hardly con- vey to the uninformed the nature of the combination quoted in the market. The broker sals “The history of trusts is short. cmpara- tively speaking, as prior to 1890 very few of the combinations, such as they are now. were known (o those familiar with the Stock exchange bulletin boards and quotaticns, The success of the larger combines gave a great boom to the idea of controlling produc- tion under one head, and as a result trusts became a great fad with would-be Napolesns of finance, Milllons were made and millions were lo:t A.C.0,D. &C, F.C, A. 8.

In January, 1892, an additional $25,000,000 in stock w voted, making the capital of the trust $75.000,000. This additional $25,000,000 was v:ted to buy up sugar refineries. The stock is a great speculative, being good to buy or sell a where from 75 to 100, and many Wash- ington people will vouch for the correc of this statement. The great Havem the Spreckels, the Franklin ar co and cthers are in the trust, which has tremendous grip on the #ugar producing bus ness of the country east of the Rocky moun- tains. the Washing- veral good stories are tald in connec- fion with the expenditure of the $25,000,000 add tional stock thet was voted in 1892, in which Mr. Claus Spreckels figures as the bright particular star. For many years back Mr. Spreckels has had a moncply of the Pacific cosst, and all he asked cf the trust was that he be left alone. But the trust felt strong, and invaded his territory. This aroused the strong Teutonic blood in Mr. Spreckels and he decided to retaliate in kind. He camé east, and, after purchas- ing a site in Philadelphia, started the ball of compet'tion r:lling. He not only built a $1,000,000 plant, bul prepared for a long fight by persuading hundreds of Pennsyl- vania farmers to go into the cultivation of sugar beets, promising to take the entire product at profitable figurcs. Many farmors stopped riising tobacco ard went inio the sugar beet cultivati.n, and made money at “Secing these preparations for a great fight, the trust decided upon a compromise, but Mr. Spreckels, seeng his great hold on the trus(, decided to make them pay for inavguriting the fight. His plant in Phil- adelphia cost, all told, about $1,500,000, and to pacify the farmers around that city would take wnother $500,000. The trust prop-sed that they vacite the Pacific coast and take the Philadelpbia plint off Spreckels' hands at §2,000,000. But Spreckels said he was making money in the east and would rather remain. But thls proved to bz a big blufr. At any rate it went through. SIx months later Spreckels was given possession of the Pacific coast and something over $§3,000,000 to vacate the east. He moved.

The company, at its Inception, ac- quired the plants of the following companies The Thomeon-Houston, Edison, General and the Thomson-Houston International. The combine, as a matter of course, absorbed the major portion of the stock of {hese separate concerns, which were allowed to maintain their individuality and name in organization. The authorized capital of the combine is $60,000,000. In 1892 there were listed on the New York Stock Exchange over $30,000,000 common, and about $4,000,000 preferred stock of the combination. At present internal dis sensions exist between the Boston and New York end of the trust, with the Boston group on top. Mr. Edison Is no longer connected with the combine in an official capacity, having been frozen out by the men from the east. OTHER BIG TRUSTS oming fourth on the list is the Lead trust. This concern, or combination, controls something Ifke thirty extensive lead manu- facturing plants in New Yok, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Missouri, Illinofs hio. The concern produces white lead and kindred products. The capital stock of the combine is $45,000,000. Of this sum $30,000,000 is pre- ferred stock, which was issued on a 7 per cent cumulative dividend basis. It was or- ganized in 1591, and is a New Jersey corpora tion, 5o to speak. “I can mot recall the capitalization of the trust desiggated as ‘Chicago Gas,' but to my mind it is as strong combine, It 1887 to acquire the gas properties of the Windy City, and how well the original pur- pose of the incorporators has been kept is attested by the fact that the monopoly now has exclusive control of the gas lighting of that big city. It has urder its wing about a dozen companies, and in 1892 secured the Chicago Gas Light company, an organization incorporated away back in 1845. “Then there is the American Cotton Ol company, or ‘A. C. O." with its $30,000,000 and over of capital. This trust came into existence with te general flood of trusts in 1890, and succ:eded, by reorganization, the American Cotton Ofl trust. This 8 also a New Jersey corporation, as most of them are. on account of the liberal trust laws in that state, and fs a manufacturing and mercantile organization, producing and dealing In the products of American cotton sced. The prin- cipal products are cotton seed oll, cotton sced meul, cotton seed hulls and the like. The concern owns something like 150 manu facturing properties, including crude oil mills, refineries, fertilizing mixture establishments and cotton compressors. “A trust that is up among the leaders as to the size of its capital, but about which there is really little known, is ‘Consolidated Gas, or, to give It its right title, the Con- dated Gas company of New York. It was organized in 1884, and is one of the oldest of the great combincs, and when It was organ- ized the leading light concerns of New York | City were gobbled up, with a capital of 000,000, ““Ancther close combination 0.' or Nationl Linseed Oil com capital is in the neighborhood of $20,- 000,000, It was organized in 1887. under the laws of Illinois, and controis over 100 plants. The present concern grew out of the National Linsced Ol trust. When the rush came in 1890 to organize big combines (he tcbacco field was not to b left in the lurch, and as a result another $35,000,000 trust was launched under the stock exchange title of ‘A. T. C.,' or Amer- can Tobacco ccmpany. We hear ‘little of this combine, but to my mind it is one ‘of the most succe:sful, as it hss accomplished what it Is organized for--to corner the mar- ket The trust authorized under the laws of New Jersey to do almost anything pertaining to the manufecture of tcbaceo, cigars and cigerettes, and has control of something Lke a score of plants through out the country. Its success follows, n> doubt, as a result of ‘coppering' the Stand ard Oil company's method cf having regular disiributing places in every part of the country. ‘Covington, Ky. is the hesdquarters of the National Starch company, another trust that came Into existence in 1890 for the pur- pose of monopolizing the manufacture of starch, glucose, cereals and varicus pounds &nd preparations. The trust trols a score or more of establ shments, and | has a capital of $10,500,000 THE CORDAGE COMPANY. ‘One cf the greatest failures in the trust line is the National Cordage company It started out by creating quite a flurry in the market by the wide range of quota- | tions of its stcck, but at present I don't think ‘N. C. C.’ s qucted at all. The col- lapse of the trust marked one of the most sensational features of the irdustrial market during the e:rly months cf 15893, The com- was crganzed in 1890 with a capital s watered beyond redemption. “The very greatest failure in the trust line, to my mind, was the Richmond Ter minal ind West Point Terminal crash. This d-es not come under the head of an indus- trial trust, but it was a trust pure and simple. This was a case where a syndi- catg bit off more than it could msst cate, and as a result went to the wall.
