 Fifty dollars said he, in bluffy tone of voice.
 '"The Shoshone gazed at him with the stolid, injured expression of a man of whom a gross advantage is being taken. and then his jaws set with an expression that was probably meant to convey, and did convey, the idea that he didn't intend to be bluffed right along. Carefully coming his hand, he raised it a hundred. This was-pie for the sergeant He saw plainly that the Indian was flustered and rattled.
 Five hundred more,' said he, reach ing inside his blouse and hauling out his reserve bag of coin.
 Charley DaW now looked pitiful. He dropped his hand of cards on the blanket and gazed smack into the ser geant's eyes for fully a minute. Then he gave long whistle, and inside of half a minute another Indian, Big Ringdove, also chief, walked into the wickieup. Charley Daw beckoned to his tribesman, showed him his hand. and the pair had conference in Sho- shone, which wound up by Big Ring dove looking as if he felt ashamed of his brother chief The sergeant was the picture of complaisance through it all, but the ordnance sergeant who was present at the game told me that the sure-thing on-commissioned officer somehow lost the finer edges off his grin when Charley Dow grunted out a raise of one thousand dollars. That raise tapped the sergeant, all but five hundred dollars. But he was still pret- ty confident, and so he stood the raise and threw in his last five hundred dol lars. certain that it would drive the h. dian out. But wicked smile now wreathed Charley Daw's countenance
 That all you got?' he inquired of the soldier. The latter, fear now grip ping him, nodded affirmatively.
 Then I call you said Charley Daw with his eyes now contracted like a serpents, and he allowed the sergeant to nervously spread out his ace full on the blanket
 No good,' said the Indian, fiicking his four queens on to the blanket one by one.
 Look a-here, you cursed, red-hided short-card player the sergeant be- gan, scrambling to his feet and then he stopped suddenly. The Indian sat per fectly still, holding a big army pistol in his blanketed lap with both hands. You go your barrack,' said Charley Daw. Tattoo, he go in minute; you get in bunk and sleep; I play you again some time. You go now' And, persuaded by Charley Daws manner (which was right chopped-o off, l was told) and by the gun, my sergeant returned to his quarters, which he had no right ever to leave to play poker with Shoshones.

WALLINGFoRD NEVIS.

The recent storm is d strong remind er of the blizzard of 1888, and the streets yesterday morning were in fine condition for the snow shovellers brigade, which was out in full force and before noon the principal streets were passable for pedestrians, al- though it must be said that in some places the paths were not any wider than the law requires. The early trains were all late, though most of of them not over half hour. The 620 train for New Haven was stalled at Yalesville owing to the blowing out of the cylinder head on the engine and had to wait for the arrival of another engine from Hartford. The through express trains from the north did not show up at all. The electric road to Meriden was blocked and no cars were running during the day. The snow seems to be about foot deep on a level, but badly drifted. The families who depend on the early milk man had to swallow their coffee with out milk. Warden Hall, with a brigade of snow shovellers, was about clearing the crosswalks. The snow was very light and easily handled, but if a warm rain should come there would be trouble as the sewers could not begin to carry away the surface water.
 N. F. Ingraham was carrying one of the young lady employees of the Wat rous Manufacturing company to the shop yesterday morning when on Hall avenue, west of Washington street, an unusually big drift was encountered and the sleigh was upset and the oc- cupants buried in the snow bank. The horse turned about and ran up Hall avenue, with the sleigh on it's side, and was stopped near the dept. No dam age was done to the sleigh or it's oc- cupants.
 There were eleven deaths in town during the month of January.
 The Center street electric car was running all right after noon yesterday.
 Hereafter on stormy days, to an- nounce that there will be but one ses- sion at the schools, instead of ringing the bell, Hall and Elton & Co.'S gong will blow one long blast at Il o'clock. Superintendent Clark Buckingham, who has been confined to his home for several days with severe cold, was able to be about again yesterday.
 The Wallingfords will bowl in South Meriden this evening, the last games of the state league.

NATURAL FAT.
Getting Fat Is Only Question of
 Eating Proper Food.


 Thin people who want to get fat should eat proper food and digest it.
 That is the only natural way.
 The trouble with most thin people is that they suffer from indigestion.
 They don't digest their food. They don't get enough nourshment. They are slowly being starved. They are poisoned by the products of fermented and putrid food.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial. gentle, natural, vegetable digestive, attacks the food in your stomach just like the digestive juices, and turns it into healthful nourishment. It helps your stomach naturally. It makes thin dys- peptics fat, It makes poisonous blood pure. It tones up and cures the sto- mach.
 Nothing will cure indigestion like Shaker Digestive Cordial, because mo- thing else goes so naturally about it.
 This is why it has been so successful in relieving nausea. vomiting, dizziness, weakness, bad taste, fever, fiatulence, constipation, loss of appetite, head ache, neuralgia, rheumatism, etc., by curing the disorder which causes the symptoms.
 A few doses will prove its value, but you won't get fat on one bottle.
 All druggists. Ten cents for a trial bottle.
 Write for book on Food and Fat to The Shakers, 30 Reade St., New York.

business men. Continuing, MT. Troup said: Business men should give more time to the affairs of the municipality. They are the com mon interests of all and each man should have due regard for them and give portion of his time to them. It is we'll known fact that business men have to do twice the volume of busi- ness that they did five years ago to make the same profit. Business men and the citizens should study the cause and apply the remedy. Study the cause of this stagnation. The re- tail merchants have no right to make any complaint about business. Their { association is strong enough to do any thing they attempt. The press of New Haven is what the merchants make it. You say keep trade at home, yet you can every Sunday morning see hun treds of people buying New York papers instead of New Haven papers. I say keep trade at home. patronize home industries

trail to Absorb the West shore.

But few people comprehend what the ac-
QUESTION of the Oregon Short-line by the
Union Pacific people means. Its acquisition
by the Morgan syndicate brings it into an
alliance with a system aggregating sixty
thousand miles of important railways: still,
a separate organization of the various sys-
TENS is said to be a feature of the syndi-
Gates methods. The lines thus allied form
an uninterrupted transcontinental line ex-
tending from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and by securing control of these roads the
Vanderbits place themselves in a very ag
gressive and defensive attitude. New York
to Buffalo, Buffalo to Chicago, Chicago to
Omaha, Omaha to Granger, Granger to
Huntington, Huntington to Portland, Ia
coma and Seattle. These cites are linked
together by the biggest transcontinental al
lance ever formed. The New York Central
is the first road in the combination from
New York. In Buffalo it connects with the
Lake Shore for Chicago, at which point
the chain is carried on to Omaha by the
Chicago g. Northwestern. and from there
the Union Pacific, the Oregon Short-lne and
the oregon Railroad and Navigation COM
plete the line TO Portland, Ore, and to Ia
coma apparently on Puget sound. All these
roads are Vanderbilt roads, and the total
mileage is l3,4 400. The close affiliation be-
tween the Chicago e Northwestern, which
is the important part of the system. as ii
connects the Eastern and Western divisions,
is shown by the fact that Marvin Hughitt
the president is a director of the Union Pa
cific and that Horace G.. Burt, the new
president of the Union Pacific, was taken
from the third vice presidency of the Chi
cago & Northwestern for his present posi-
ton.

Absorption of the west Shore.

Last spring there were indications of the
absorption by the New York Central of the
West Shore. At that time the West Shore
shops at Frankfort were transferred to AL
bany and Depew, and through such trans
fer saving to the two roads of $2500O0 a
year has been effected. Encouraged by the
success of the experiment, the Buffalo Com
mercial states other important changes are
under consideration looking to the ultimate
merging of the West Shore into the New
York Central. In the first place, it is be-
lieved that a great saving can be made by
consolidating the departments which OPP
crate the train service. This would mean
the taking off Of West Shore trains which
duplicate those of the New York Central.
1t costs to run a West Shore train on a
round trip from New York to Buffalo-that
is, one train starting from New York and
the other from Buffalo. at the same time
$4O0 q day. The canceling of this single
train. for which 1t is asserted there is no
necessity, the same service being per-
formed by the New York Central, would
save the company in round figures $3.50 900
year. And ii is to be understood that there
are several such SuperfiuOuS trains so that
the $4,000 Is to be multiplied by the num-
Der of such useless trains may be can
celed. 1t is further asserted that the local
service would not be injured by such re-
duction in through trains. Another PROPOSE
ton under consideration is the consolidation
of terminal facilities in Buffalo. Syracuse
and other important points which, if eff
fected, will reduce expenditures materially
and at the same time serve the public more
efficiently. Both companies have duplicate
offices in every large city in the East, as
we'll as at many Western points. These of
tices are fully manned with duplicate sets
of officials, who in many places enter into
active competition with each other.

At the request of the receiver. Judge
Harvey, of the Superior Court, has given
an opinion relative to the building and loan
department of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of Indiana. A number of those
who have borrowed from this department
have contended to the receiver that the
dues which they paid into the department
should be credited as offset to their debt.
The claim is that as the company had no
charter authorizing it to cary on building
and loan business the borrowers were not
members of the company, hence their re-
lation to the company is simply that of in
dlvlduals. each with an Independent con-
tract The receiver being unable to adj
just these matters, submitted the questions
to the court.
Judge Harvey holds that the contention
OF the borrowers is wrong, and to yield to
1T would not be equitable. 1t would not be
fair to the persons who only paid in their
dues without borrowing money for they
would have to sustain the losses from the
stoppage of the business, while those who
borrowed money would suffer no loss. AS
to the question of the company having no
charter to do building and loan business
the court holds that all the contracts made
with the officers were entered into with the
understanding that those who paid in should
have a share in the profits. 1t was neces-
sarily implied that they should share alike
in the losses
