That Road VIII Also Withdrew from the
Western Traffic Association.


Western Traffic Association.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 16.-It is apparent
that several startling developments are
about to take place in the Western rail.
road situation. Following upon the
withdrawal of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific from the Transconti.
mental association, it is stated ON good
authority that the Great Northern has
already gene out and that the Northern
Pacific will withdraw from the Western
Traffic combination at an early date. 1t
would also appear that this concerted
action on the part of thet great trans
continental systems is simply intended to
pave the way for an alliance between
them, offensive and defensive. for the
protection Of their mutual interests.
President Cakes, of the Northern Pa
cific, who is in the city for few days in
the course of his semi-annual inspection
over the line, shed some light on the
situation yesterday. Referring to the
complications which have arisen in con-
nection with the Transcontinental asso-
citation, Mr.. Cakes said:
I'VE do not attach much significance TO the
withdrawal of the Great Northern. The notice
was undoubtedly given because the Great
Northern thinks 10 can handle its own business
In Its own way, unrestricted or unincumbered
by the regulations of either the Western Traf-
nc association or the Transcontinental. In
that respect the Northern Pacific is in very
much the same position. There are only two
interests TO be considered. and the Great
Northe and Northern Pacific will be abte to
= gree upon all that is necessary for the pro-
lection OF their traffic without the interven-
tion Of any association"
DO you propose to withdraw from the
Traffic association"
Yes, we shall re compelled In self-defense
70 withdraw IL IL be true that the Great North
ern las done 20, and have no doubt but that
II is true. We have not, however, given notice
OF withdrawal yet"
MIR. Oakes further stated that he ex-
pected no Generalization of rates ON ac-
count of Mr.. Hills action and that rates
would not be reduced by either the
Northern Pacific or Great Northern
without the consent of the other.

Succession Courting Amid Dimeuitie

Successful Courting Amid Difficulties.
For the past two years life has been
unpleasant for DIR. William Aestis,
George Thorpe and the doctors caugh-
ter.
Thorpe persisted in calling on the girl
he loved, and every time he and the
irate father met fight ensued, and each
has spent 800 or more in the courts.
For some time past Thorpe and Aestis
threatened to shoot each other, and the
community expected a duel It has just
now developed that George is the victor,
and two weeks since at Marion Miss
Aestis became Mrs. Thorpe. That part
seemed not SO hard as breaking the news
to papa.
When the pleading daughter related
the circumstance she was made happy
by the father insuring his blessing in
the future to both, and he now prides
himself in having son-in-law who
could WOO his daughter under such try
ing circumstances.-Cor indianapolis

A Curious Cave.

The cave temple Of Karli, India. is
rightly considered one of the greatest
wonders Of the world. This gigantic
recess in the mountain ledge has been
chiseled by human hands from porphyry
as hard as the hardest flint. The nave
Is 124 feet long, As feet broad and 46
feet from floor to ceiling. Before the
entrance to the temple stands monster
stone elephant, upon whose back is seat
ed q colossal goddess, all hewed from one
solid block of stone. Like the temple
walls and the outside ornaments, every
article of adorning sculpture on the in
side LIS hewed from the native rock.
There are aisles ON each side sep
arated from the nave by octagonal pill
lars of stone. The capital OF each pillar
is crowned with two kneeling elephants,
on whose backs are seated two figures,
representing the divinities to whom the
temple is dedicated. These figures are
perfect and Of beautiful features, as in
deed are all the representations of
deities and divinities in this peculiar
temple.
The responsiveness SO characteristic of
modern Hindoo and Chinese pagodas is
here wholly wanting. Each figure is
true to life, or rather to art, there be-
ing no mythical half horse, half man OF
beast birds depicted in this underground
wonder of Karli. This wondrous under
ground pagoda or cave temple has been
q standing puzzle for the learned ar
chRologists of both Europe and Asia for
the last 1850 years, and Is as much of
an enigma today as it was in the time of
Confucius. Philadelphia Press.

A BURGLARS BIG HAUL,
$500 IN HARD CASH STOLEN FROM
THE RESIDENCE
vi W. j. X. Mcneil Friday Night--C lass
Perkins in Jail--Good Work by Sher-
iff Dave Christie,

When Mr.. w. j. K. Mcneil, who lives
about three miles south of the city. was
aroused from lis slumber last Saturd av
morning, about three o'clock, he saw q
man leaving his room with trunk on
his shoulder.
That trunk contained $500 in cash,
which represented Mr.. McNeirs hard
earnings and economical savings.
Mr. Mcneil is a bachelor about sixty
years Of are, and in the room with
him that night was his brother, Mr..
Arch Mcneil
Mr.. Mcneil awolle his brother, who
went in pursuit of the thief, but was I'M
able to overtake him. While chasing
the thief Mr.. Mcneil was shot at with a
pistol
The burglar gained entrance into the
house by prizing off some boards that
were nailed across the space left for i
chimney when the room was built,
The trunk was carried about half
mile up the road, robbed of it's gold and
carried back within a hundred wards 20
Mr.. McNeil's house and left SITTING on >
fence.
Sheriff Christie was notified of the
robbery early Saturday morning and re-
sponded promptly. He had not been
there long before he struck clue. and
in little while he had Glass Perkins
Dave Folly, Milledge Brewster and su-
san Washington, all negroes, securely
behind the bars.
The tracks about the trunk exactly
correspondent with a pair of shoes found
IN Perkins possession, and piece of
thread hanging on the trunk when found
the next morning was similar to thread
found on the person of Perkins.
The circumstantial evidence worked
up by Sheriff Christie was SO strong that
at a eommittal trial Monday morning
Perkins was sent to jail in default of a
S4OC. The other three prisoners were
discharged,
None Of the money has been found.

DEAD IN THE ROAD.
A Negro Farmer of Calhoun County As
sassinated.
r. HOBBS

sdsslnate0s
The dead body Of Nathan Bennett, a
successful negro farmer of Calhoun coun-
ty, was found in the road near his home,
few days ago, with bullet hole
through the left side, just under the
shoulder blade. Nath had been to the
house of neighbor and was returning
home when killed. He and a negro
named George Robertson had disagree
ment in the forenoon of the same day,
and it is thought that George wAylaid
him and shot him. Justice Strickland
summoned a jury and held an inquest,
and the jury's verdict was in accordance
with the above facts, charging Robertson
with the crime. Up to last accounts he
was still at large.
