DECIDE TO REPAIR IT
COL. W. p. CLOUGH PRESENTS
PLANS FOR ALTERATIONS IN
THE UNION DEPOT.
EXPENDITURE MUCH LESS
THAN THE AMOUNT FIGURED 1T
WOULD TAKE UNDER PRO-
POSED PLANS.
ONE STORY ADDITION TO BE BUILT.
Where the Present Baggage
Shed Now Stands.

Something in the nature of as ur-
brise was sprung upon the directors of
the union depot company at their meet
ing yesterday morning in the shape of
a rough blue print plan of some
changes and Improvements needed at
the depot. prepared by Chief Engineer
Stevens, Of the Great Northern, and
presented by Col w. p. Clough, vice
president Of the road. This general
plan, with some notifications which
are to be incorporated, will call for an
expenditure approXimating $4,000, and
will be submitted again to the directors
not later than Jan /, so that the work
may be started then without further
delay and be completed before the sum-
mer rush. The Great Northern blue
print amounts apparently to a COM
promise between spending something
like $50, 900. as contemplated in the in
formal report made by five Of the eight
engineers on the committee, and doing
nothing at this time. 1t calls for the
erection of a one-story extension of
the Sibley street end of the present de
not, which. with the present depot
space, will be rearranged so as to &C
commodate the baggage traffic now
handled in the long brick building
which is to be torn away to make room
for another track into The present train
she'd
The present interior of the depot, 1t
is understood, Will be almost entirely
Tearranged so as not only to accom-
modate the baggage quarters, but the
engines and machinery which furnish
the light and heat for the big structure.
When the letter Of transmittal was
given to the secretary by President
Plough it was found. that it contained
a general discussion of the plans talked
of by the engineers calling for an out
lay, as stated, of about $4,000. The
letter was signed by Engineers Loweth,
Of the Union Depot company; Onward
Bates, Milwaukee; Charles w. Johnson,
Omaha; S. D. Purdy, Burlington, and
w. w. Rich, 500 line. Messrs. Nc
Henry, of the Northern Pacific; Mil
Ter, of the st. Paul e. Duluth, and
FeTnsTOm. of the Great Western, sub
mitted explanatory letters which
amounted to minority reports and Mr.
Stevens, the Great Northern man, sent
up the blue print, which was briefly dis
cussed by the directors. It was adopted
by resolution, as being more acceptable
in it's general features, and then was
recommitted to the Great Northern
company for certain notifications and
estimates of the expense of the plans
suggested as we'll as certain necessary
changes in the train sheds and tracks.
Col. Clough was asked to have a report
made not later than Jan. l.
Some of the engineers say that later
it will be necessary to rearrange the
tracks in the train shed and yards so
as to accommodate still another track |
Some inconvenience has resulted when
long trains are made up from the
blocking up near the entrance to the
shed of what are called the leader
tracks leading from it to the different
yard tracks. This it is said, will not
be undertaken at this time.

Divorce Decree Is Recorded

HAMILTON, Mo-, Nov. 27-Mrs.
Mary Dice, of this county, was granted
divorce in the circuit court at Kins-

After hearing the evidence Judge
Broaddus remarked that the divorce
would be granted when the costs were
paid. Neither the Judge or client en-

YORK BANKS ABOVE THE
RECORD.
STATEMENT is DECEPTIVE
CHANGES ALMOST ENTIRELY THE
RESULT OF THE UNION PACI-
FIG PAYMENT.
EXPANSION IN LOANS A FEATURE.
known Conditions of the Market Do
Not Warrant the Conclusion to
Be Drawn.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The Financier
says: The changes in the totals shown
by the bank statement for the week
ending Nov. 27 are connected entirely
with the transfer of Union Pacific
funds to the several depository banks
and do not, in the least, reflect the ad-
vanced business conditions which are
generally associated with heavy loan
or deposit increases. The statement
does not balance. but the one item
which affords clue to the real posi-
ton Of the different institutions is
found in the gain Of cash during the
week. This is larger than the reports
of some Of the leading banks had indi-
Gated, but the flow of money to this
center from the interior during the
week, 1t is known, has exceeded the
outward movement by at least $1,000
900. The increase in deposits is, of
course, accounted for by the check
given by the Union Pacific reorgani-
cation committee to the National City
bank, and by it distributed pro rata
among the different depository institu-
tons. Adding the actual gain in cash
from the interior movement to the
Union Pacific fund, the deposit item
appears approximately correct. The in
dividual increases, however, are inter
esting. The deposits Of one bank have
been swelled no less than 10000, 900
through the operations described above,
and the increase OF four institutions
amounts to S17,000000, which is larger
than the total expansion reported by
all the banks. The gain Of over ST.
100000 reported by the Western Ma
tional is due evidently to the absorp-
ton of the business of the United
States National, which it has purchas-
ed.
The result of the weeks business has
been to swell the deposit item Of the
statement to figures never before ap-
preached. The present deposits are
$17,000000 in excess Of the highest total
achieved, on Sept. IL last. The great
expansion in loans is a feature of the
statement that cannot be satisfactorily
accounted for. 1t runs almost coinci-
dentally with deposits, and the insti-
tutiOns making the largest gains in
that item also report the highest gains
in loans. In other words, the state
ment makes it appear that profitable
use has been found within three days
for nearly all the money received from
the Union Pacific committee. The
known conditions of the market do not
warrant this assumption. AS the reor-
ganization committee was supposed to
have secured all the money it needed
for its uses before a settlement was
made, the cause must Re looked for in
other directions. During the last sew
eral sales of bonds by the government
banks receiving bonds have sometimes
carried them temporarily as loans, but
this does not apply in the present case
The conclusion is inevitable that the
expansion is involved in some technical
method Of averages. Otherwise the in
crease is wholly contradictory of known
facts.

Mr.. KETCHAM'S WILL.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-The will of the
we'll known club-man, John B. Ketcham
was filed in the probate court this
afternoon. This document disposes OF
an estate of $265, 900 to the sole legatee,
Mrs. Minnie Wallace Walkup-ket-
cham, who he married secretly at Mil
Waukee shortly after divorce from his
Toledo wife. Before the Milwaukee, we'd
ding Mrs. Ketcham was the widow OF
the ex-mayor of Emporia, Kan, for
whose alleged poisoning she was some
years ago tried and acquitted after d
sensational trial.
The document was brought into court
by Attorney Hansen, attorney for Mrs.
Minnie Wallace Walkup-Ketcham. The
latter accompanied her attorney and
gave the necessary evidence to prove
the death Of Mr. Ketcham and place
the cause in court for hearing on the
admission Of the will to probate. Ac-
cording to the petition brought into
court by Mrs. Ketchanl, the estate left
by her husband is worth $26500O, of
which 100000 is in personal property,
the remainder in realty.
Mrs. Ketcham was dressed very
quietly in black. Mrs. Ketcham was
perfectly composed during the progress
of the legal formalities and left the
court room with her attorney as soon
as the necessary proceedings were over.
Ketcham's signature shows signs Of
physical weakness on his part, being
very shaky. The witnesses to the will
are Joe Keller, the Ketcham butler,
and Sena Torrey. The heirs Of
Mr.. Ketcham, given by the
widow in proving the heirship and
also in the petition for letters, are five
in number, Rachel A. Ketcham, the
mother, Valentine II. and George H.
Ketcham, brothers, and Mrs. Mary E.
Nearing, a sister, all of Toledo. and
the widow, residing on Indiana avenue,
Chicago.
The will of Mr. Ketcham leaves
everything to his widow and appoints
her sole eXecutrix without any except
her own individual bond. The instru-
ment is carefully drawn and contains
rather unusual legal words for the bet

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not He Alarmed, But Look for
the Cause.

Heart troubles. at least among
Americans, are certainly increasing
and while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry Of American
business life, 1t is more often the re-
suit of weak stomaChS, OF poor diges-
ton.
Real, organic heart disease is incur
able; but not one case in a hundred
OF heart trouble, is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion Is because
both organs are controlled by branches
Of the same great nerves, the Sym
pathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another Way, also. the heart IS
affected by that form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food; there is a feel
ing of oppression and heaviness In the
chest caused by pressure of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs,
interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and Weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion
and to insure the prompt assimilation
of food.
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals, of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation, like
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and
which contain valuable, harmless di-
gestive elements, in a pleasant, con-
venient form.
It is safe to say that the regular, per
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at meal time will cure any form
of stomach trouble, except cancer Of
stomach.

SHORT OF SUPPLIES.

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 27.-The
destruction of nearly thirty miles of
the Everett & Monte Cristo railway by
the recent floods threatens to cause a
famine in the small mining town of
Monte Cristo which is cut off from the
outside world. w. r. Biggers, in COM
pany with ten other men, reached this
city today. having walked a distance
of thirty miles. Mr.. Biggers said there
was already scarcity of food in
Monte Cristo and that the only saliva
ton for it's 500 people was to get out
as quickly as they could. The store
keepers have restricted the amount Of
sales to each individual. The day be-
fore Mr.. Biggers left forty men, women
and children had started to walk to
Tunnel No. 1. Most of the way is
through snow two feet deep. Speaking
of the damage done to the railroad, Mr.
Riggers said:
In some places the track, road-bed
steel rails, ties, ballast and all, have
been swept out of sight. The rails
were broken as if they were glass or
bent int all sorts of fantastic shapes
by the terrible flood, which rose to a
height of thirty feet over the ordinary
position of the river, and tore every
thing in it's path like tornado. Huge
bouIders as big as an ordinary room
were lifted out of their resting places
and hurled to one side. One span of a
bridge over the river was taken 2G0 feet
below and crushed into a shapeless
mass Of debris. In Tunnel No. 6, where
the track was, it is as smooth as a
floor. No trace whatever was left of

NO LEGAL BAR TO PoLYGAMY.
Laws of Alabama and Other States
Loose on the Subject.

Laws of Alabama and Other States
Loose on the Subject.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. PHI.
r. Benton, a lawyer and editor, has
discovered that the laws Of Alabama
and of most Of the other states do not
prohibit the practice of polygamy.
According to Mr.. Benton, the law eX-
presSly prohibits a person who has a
lawful wife or husband from marrying
another, but 1t refrains from prohibit
ing a single person from marrying
more than one other person, provided
the union to the several others is per-
formed simultaneously. He finds that
the English statute provides a penalty
for any person who, being married.
shall marry any person, the former
husband or wife being alive. The Ala
bama statute is practically the same.
In the Edmunds act. passed by con-
gress in 1852, 1t is enacted that amy
man who hereafter simultaneously, or
on the same day, marries more than
one woman In a territory or other
place over which the United States has
exclusive Jurisdiction is guilty OF
polygamy."
1t is evident, therefore, according to
Mr.. Benton, that the statutes Of Eng
land and Alabama fail to cover the
point. and the statute Of the United
States recognizes that fact, but only
applies to territories. Mr. Benton de-
clares that if the Alabama statute is
construed strictly and according to the
rule for constituting such statutes. it
would be lawful for a man to marry
a houseful of wives, provided they all
get within the sound of the voice Of
the man doing the marrying and join
in the contract that is being made.
