sold more than JLOflO.OOO acres of 'land
In Illinois, alone."'-In 17 years he loaned
upward" of 120,000,000 for capitalists
who employed him as) their agent.' t But;
In 1877 his own business had assumed
euro proportions that he was obliged' to
Kive H his exclusive attention. A firm
believer In the 'Ultimate', prosperity of
Chicago he bought city property freely

When the financial condition of Chl-

eons rendered . valuable services to the
city, fey actually, saving the .credit and
reputation for -,; honesty of the : city.
Elected alderman from the First ward,
Dr. Pearsons . was appointed chajrman
of the finance committee. He found
the city treasury empty, depleted by
acta of great extravagance. , The city's
indebtedness was greatly In excess of
the constitutional limit, and to meet the
demands upon it the city bad issued
certificates, the. legality of which was
disputed In the courts. Many of these
certificates had been taken by eastern
bankers and other capitalists who- be
came alarmed lit the situation.
In this- emergency :r Dr.' Pearsons
went to New Vork: to confer with the
financial powmr on Wall street. His
earnest manner and straightforward
course produced a good effect. He had
come, officially as a member of his
city's common council and privately as
a capitalist and man of honor, to assure
tlirm that Chicago meant to pay Its
rlfbts. He succeeded in allaying the
fears of the eastern financiers, and re
turned noma with the knowledge that
Chicago's credit was fully restored.
Aided 93 Colleges.
In 1877 Dr. Pearsons retired from
aqtive business' and announced his in-,
tentlon to devote the rest of his days
to giving away his wealth, acquired by
hard work and unusual shrewdness, bo
that It would do the most good. "To
