Ohio, made the following statement: 81 have seen
the various comments and differences drawn from
the ofhcial statements Of the company as issued

left after all such payments Moreover, the fixed
charges include the retiring OF $3.50 900 OF bonded
Indebtedness, which under some systems OF book
Keeping might not have been made to appear as a
charge against income. Included In the operating
expenses were SAYS, 900 spent upon the roadway,
bridges. engines and freight cars In excess OF the
amount SO spent the year previous, which was
done 10 Improve the general condition OF those
parts or the property which 1t is necessary to have

cauy. This result OF improving the property, and
at the same time meeting all OF Its current abil-
Ties out Of income for the year, has been accom-.
plShed when rates were greatly demoralized and
without Two arms OF the service which contributed
10 the earnings In years previous namely: The ex-

ami the public can rely that every yearly liability
or the company, whether for interest on bonds

He, HOWEVER, HAS LEFT AGAIN FOB PARTS nm
KNOWN.
Montreal Dispatch to Toronto Empire,
rather sad case came before Justice Ouimet,
Of the Superior Court, to-day Tor Judgment 1t is
alleged that Pierre Liable, OF Quebec, and Adelaide
Masse, q the same place, were united In marriage
during the year 1863, but for some unexplained
reason the husband left his native province and
was not seen In this country until about four
years ago. In the meantime 1t was stated that the
missing husband had been shipwrecked and q EEL
low seaman even came forward and testified that
he had seen the unfortunate Quebecker washed
overheard. The supposed widow mOurned the
loss Of her husband until 1876, when she married
one Henri p. Labelle OF this city. The couple ap-
peared TO live happily together for eight years
when, IN 1884, TO the surprise Of man and wife.
husband No. turned up and declared that he had
never been dead al all Being good CaUhoIics.
Labelle and his wife separated 1T once, and Ngr'
Fabre having declared that the second marriage
was null and VOID, the second husband asked that
this decision be ratified by the civil courts This
was done, but the singular part OF the business Is
that the nrst and real husband had no desire to
claim his wife, and although the ecclesiastical and
civil law had given him back his wife, Liable Will
have nothing more 10 do with her, and has again
left for parts unknown. The widow in the mean

An Fl Paso dispatch says tie project frst started
by Major Arson Mills. Of the United States Army,
of building q big dam across the Rio Grande above
Fl Paso, and saving all the water in an immense
reservoir for irrigation purposes has been very
favorably received on the American side Of the
river, and is now being taken up and discussed on
the Mexican side also. Engineer Garflas who Is
directing the Mexican revetment works on the
banks Of the Rio Grande, Is OF the opinion that
the project Is entirely feasible but that instead Of
building one single dam OF masonry, It would be
better and cheaper to build two out OF willow mat
treSses filled with rock at some distance from each
other and MI the Intervening space with rock,
gravel, sand, clay or any other material such q
dam, he says could be made entirely safe and
strong, could be easily made, and would be much
cheaper than q stone dam. Engineer GarflaS
thinks the proposed dam Would put an end 10 the
shifting OF the bed OF the river below II Paso.
which Is giving rise to International questions Of
between the two countries.

OLD kkOkUkS OFFICIAL SIGNATURE SAID 10 81 TIE
TRUE ORIGIN.
From the Burlington uows) Post
The st. Louis Globe Democrat has Just started
the foolish story that the cabalistic sign, 10 K,
had its origin In o misapprehension of President
jackson, OF whom 1t says that he was in the habit
OF marking papers In that manner that had been
passed upon ana approved. It intimates that he
meant by that that they were ''oll korrect "
Another paper, O Kentucky Journal traces the
use OF the expression back to the famous Wing
campaign OF 1910, and 1t Is not unlikely that It
was used then, but its real origin goes back fur
ther, to the days when Old Keokuk, the only and
original 20. k used to aflx the initial letters OF
Black Hawk, his formidable rival was kicking
over the traces and trying 10 create q muss by
seeking to nullify everything that he did. The
20. K" was too much, however, for Black Hawk,
and even In that early day It quickly came to mean
literally what It Is accepted as meaning to-day
that It was proper and In good form. We believe
that the best authorities agreed that this was
the true origin OF the term.

Cincinnati dispatch says: Some time ago M.
A. Burch, q colored Baptist preacher, was visited
by finely-dressed colored man bearing letter
from Philadelphia friend OF Burch's. Introducing
the bearer as James N. Pilligan, OF New YORK, and
who was interested in a thriving mining company.
Ptiligan was received as q friend and soon intro
duced Samuel Gregg and W. W. Ward, OF the same
company. These men gained the confidence OF
Burch and the wealthy members OF his cOngrega-
ton. They claimed capital OF q, 100000, and
the stock sold readily at IS share. the victims
grew weary waiting for dividend ana reported
the matter 70 the police. Investigation proved
that no such concern as the "Aiba Mining Com
pany" was known there. Burch was arrested but
MS friends escaped. over 200 shares have been
turned up, and 1t Is thought that the cOored gen.
tlemen neeced their brethren out OF s., OOO These
