Mistress of style.

An article in periodical calls atten-
ton to the degree Of M. S.-Mistress
of Style--as that most coveted by all
women, ouhanking, at least so far as
admiration is concerned, all the A. M. s,
and Phi. D. S. in existence. The statement
leads back to the old query, Do college
girls and other women given to intellec-
tual exercise care for such mundane
matters as looks and clothing? 1t may
safely be asserted that they do. There
may be no definite, outspoken "views"
upon the matter, but the principle that
a woman, to make the most of her OPP
portunities, be they intellectual or other
wise, mus. both look and dress just as
well as size can is universal. Mrs May

ONE MILLION INVOLVED.
Oregon Short Line Case Comes Up
in st. Paul Today.


OMAHA, Neb., May 26.-In connec-
ton with an article on the hearing
to otake place in ST. Paul tomorrow on
the offer of the Oregon Short Line e
Utah Northern to pay the overdue
coupons on the prior lien, the Bee says:
The amount of overdue interest is
about $1,000, 900, and the questions in
volved are many and complicated. 1t
is understood that the consolidated
bondholders propose to raise on re-
eeiver's certificates about $75O,0O0 and
rely upon obtaining from the present
receivers the property, together with
unexpended net earnings sufficient In
amount to more than cover the differ
ence. There is also a large sum due
for accrued interest on the prior life
bond, which will also probably be the
subject of contention between the
prior lien holders and the holders of
the junior lien. 1t seems at the recent
hearing that the unadjuSted claims
against the receivers amount to very
considerable sum, although the amount
was not disclosed. The question is,
therefore, likely to include a review
of the claims of certain of the prior
lien holders, independently of the
necessity for determining the general
question as to how far the funds in
the hands of the present receivers
shall be withheld for the purpose of
meeting claims asserted against them.
II, is alsol said to be likely determined
effort will be made by the consolidated
bondholderS to obtain possession of
the road.
The appointment of a separate re-
ceiver for the Short Line system must,
it is thought, seriously disturb its re-
lations with the Union Pacific. 1t Is
also reported and believed here that
should the Short Line be divorced
from the system, a different policy
will be pursued by the Union Pacific
receivers from that followed in the
past in order to protect the Union
Pacific from outside competition.

BUCKEYE WIRE PULLERS.
Gathering for the G. o. p. COnven-
tion-McKinIey Being Doomed.

GAINESVILLE, O., May 26.-Of the
state Republican convention which
meets here Tuesday and Wednesday
the candidates and the workers are
here today. EX-Secretary Charles +.
Foster was among the huStlerS today.
Senator Sherman will be here tomof-
row. There are a dozen candidates Tor
governor, the favorites being Gen. Asa
A. Bushnell, Judge Nash and James
H. Hoyt The delegations from Gin
cinnati had Bushnell for governor,
the one from Cleveland had Hoyt for
governor. All were alike in hosting
McKinley's banner for president and
ForakerS for senator. The Toledo
delegation had their cars decorated
with the inscription Mckinley for
president; Foraker for senator anu
Guy Major for governor"
Today factional feeling was intenS1-
fed among the advance guard here by
hearing that McKinley's name had
been torn from the banners on the
special cars at Toledo, on the order
of Mayor Guy Major. The friends of
Mayor here say that Gov. McKinley's
friends got up a delegation to contest
the seats of the Major delegation and
that McKinleys name was torn down
because of that action. They announce
that they will begin the fight at this
convention against Mckinley for presi-
dent by opposing a resolution indorsing
the governor for president and start
ing a movement to get anti-McKinley
delegates.
1t is not probable that there will be
material opposition to the resolution
indorsing Mckinley at this convention
for president, but it is already evident
that factional feeling will be strongly
developed in the convention. The For
aker men are concentrating on Gen.
Bushnell for governor and the McKin-
ley men are on Judge Nash If there
should be any formidable opposition
to the Endorsement of Foraker for
senator the old facticnal feeling
in the party in this state would break
loose in all it's fury. The leaders in
both factions are exercising all pos
sible discipline to prevent any out
break, but it is not improbable that
this contest will get beyond their con-
troll.

On the Duluth, South Shore& At
lantic road fires broke out early this
morning at several points, and spread
rapidly, consuming much valuable
pine. Near Iron river, fifty miles east
of here, the fires were particularly de-
structive. One hundred carloads of
ties and four box cars owned by the
Northern Pacific road were partially
destroyed The north-bound South
Shore limited was delayed about four
hours by the burning of ties under the
track. The train crew reported the
heat from the flames almost unbear-
able, and that the cars were fired by
sparks and narrowly escaped burning.
A stiff breeze blew all day, and the
smouldering fires, which had been par
TALLY extinguished by heavy rains,
were again famed into roaring massey
of fire.

HOT FROM THE WIRE.
Telegraph News Put Into Type
Unique Experiment..


Unique Experiment..
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 26.-An
unique and successful experiment was
made here this morning when the AS
sociated Press telegraph news was TAX
en- directly from the wire by a type
setting machine operator. The intro
duction of the typewriter into the tele-
graph business has been a means of
greatly facilitating the transmission
of the press service of the Associated
Press, and several newspaper men OF
this city connected with the Evening
Post and the Associated Press have
been experimenting of late with
view to doing away with the type
writer and substituting for it the limo
type machine, thus setting the news
for the paper directly from the wire.
This morning one of the Associated
Press loops was run into the Evening
Post composing room and B. G. Boyle,
managing editor of the Post, and Rich
ard Cogan, chief operator of the Asso-
ciated Press, who are both telegraph
and linotype operators, succeeded in
receiving dispatches of the Associated
Press and putting them in type direct
from the wire.
The experiment proves that the tele-
graph can be worked successfully with
the typesetting machine, and maxi
mum rate of speed of fifty words
minute attained. In an hours work
this morning an average speed of
thirty words per minute was main
tanned.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 26. =
News has reached this city of fright
full tragedy which occurred near
Chestnut Mount on Friday last, as a
result of which two young daughters
of Sam Mckinney are dead, while
his baby is slightly wounded.
Mr.. Mckinney had been out on his
farm with a Winchester rifle, and,
approaching the house, handed the
gun to his twenty -three-year-old son
Henry, requesting him to take it
into the house. Approaching the front
door, Henry decided to unload the
gun, and, thinking he had removed
all the loads, he let the hammer fall,
only to hear report and feel the gun
recoil. Through the door the bullet
sped, and through the bodies of the
two sisters, who were close together
just inside the door. The elder was
eight years old, the other a few years
younger Both were instantly killed,
while nine-months old infant was

DULUTH, May 25.-The people Of
Duluth and Superior are all torn up
over the gambling question. and mat
tars are becoming more than lively, es-
pecially in Superior, where Mayor
Starkweather has ordered all of the
games closed, and insisted an the pro-
prietors of them getting out of the city
without delay. AS consequence
many of the knights of the green cloth
are coming to Duluth, and games are
being opened in all parts of the city,
in spite ofthe boast of the police that
there is not game running in the city.
There are at least half dozen in full
operation, and man can find anything
he wants, from a crap gan 20 a stiff
game of faro, with poker and hearts on
the side
The police claim to be in ignorance
of the fact that the city is honeycombed
with gambling houses, but this claim
does not carry much weight in the face
of the fact that only few days ago
one of the detectives was used az a
tool by the proprietors of one of the
places to recover a large amount Of
money that had been won by man
who was just a trifie sharper than the
gamekeeper, and succeeded in getting
away with over $1,000 in two nights
play After losing the money the pro-
prietors of the gambling house made
roar" to the police, with the result
that the winner was seen by the de-
tectives, who made him give up a
large portion of his winnings. and then
rushed him out of the city by threaten
ing to "vag' him if he tarried longer.
These things are setti75 many people
to thinking seriously that all is not
right, and it would surprise no one to
have the next grand jury take the mat
ter up in earnest.
