Trouble Between Great North
ern and Northern Pacific.
N. Z. HAS MADE A BIG CUT
In Second Class Rates--M May Be AL!
Kinds of Rate Slashing in
a Few Days.

The local office Of the Northern Pacific
railway company received the announce
ment this morning that commencing
March q, and continuing in effect until
further notice, second class tickets will be
sold from eastern terminals of the road
to any point on the Northern Pacific rail-
way west of Little Falls, Minnesota, daily,
at one-half of the lowest first class rate.
This will make the second class rate from
eastern terminals to Butte $3.50.
This cut is said to be the result, of some
misunderstanding between the officials
of the Great Northern and the Northern
Paclf1c over the recent second class rate,
from st. Pau and Duluth to north
Pacific coast points. The two roads are
largely interested in western landS, n
recently they jointly agreed to make a
second class rate of $25 from eastern ter
mlnals into the west with the view of en-
couraglng immigration, the rate going
into effect only a few days ago. The ar
rangement came to a sudden end this
morning, when the Northern Pacific peo-
pie sent out the announcement of the fur
ther reduction. Local railroad men are
very much surprised at it. They u Y the
misunderstanding between the two big
lines of the north, unless adjusted at once,
means a rate war of tremendous proper
lions 1-.naae ra-
The Western Passenger Association,
which comprises the Union Pacific, Ore
gon Short Lines, NJ all the roads to the
south, met in Chicago yesterday, and de-
cided to meet the original $25 cut of the
northern lines. The association is yet in
session, and the Northern Pacific's latest
announcement will certainly be received
with great interest by the officers of the
association, and may cause some mater
lal reduction in passenger rates.
SO far the cut applies to west bound
passengers only but unless the whole
matter is called off within the next As
7 hours, the cutting and slashing will be-
gin, and will mean bedrock rates for all
fwho would ride.

METROPOLITAN r

That Butte is fast acquiring the air Of a
metropolitan city is evidenced by the fact
that a woman barber has entered it's con-
fines and is busily engaged shaving the
faces Of those that need it. Portland, Or,
is her native town, but the last work she
did before coming to Butte was in st.
Paul. Prior to her arrival here she was
not a member Of the BARRIERS union be-
cause there are no unions Of this frater-
nifty in other cities, but she is now a
member of the Butte union, having been
initiated last week.

VOICE FROM utah
- = @k
It Says Esther Nelson Lake is
There But
SHE MIGHT BE INDUCED
i 4 90
To Return to Butte If Properly Ar-
prOached--She is With
Her Husband.

Another chapter has been added to the
| divorce suit of Esther Nelson Lake VS..
John Lake and it is rather interesting.
Several months ago Mrs. Lake. through
Attorney NJ. D. Leehey, asked the district
court of this city to give her a clean bill
of clearance from John Lake on the al
legged ground hat John vas an .imbecile
and therefore not capable of providing
her with the n~ecessaries of life. In CIV
ing her testimony before Judge Clancy
she stated that Lake and herself had been
united in marriage in a little town in
Utah and that the match had been made
by her mother; that it was through her
mothers wish that she consented to be-
come the wife of Lake.
On being closely questioned by the
judge for a motive on the part of the
mother, Mrs. Lake said that she and her
people We're believers in the Mormon
! faith and tina it was a breach of church
etiquette for a daughter to disregard the
desires of her mother when a matter of
matrimony was being considered; that
at the time of the marriage Lake owned
a good ranch, but shortly afterwards her
mother had found herself in possession of
it while "a was holding the sack; that
she, the plaintiff, did not know that Lake
was not in his right mind when she mar
ried him. 2--, Il.
After hearing what she had to say
Judge Clancy declined to grant the de-
cree, and Mrs. Lake vert on her way.
1t is alleged on good authority that at
the time Mrs. Lake applied for the di-
vorce she had a male friend in this city
who intended to make her his wife as
soon as she became free, but when he
court declined to grant the divorce they
had a few words and parted. She return
ed to Utah and is again living with Lake.
Yesterday Attorney Leehey received a
letter from a man named Thompson, who
holds an official position in the town in
which Mrs. Lake is staying and in it
Thompson intimated rather strongly that
he and other residents of the town would
like to get rid Of the Lakes. Among other
things he wanted to know if the man
giving his name) with whom Mrs. Lake
is alleged to have been friendly in Butte
did not desire her to return to him..
Another feature of the case is the al
legged fact that John Lake and Esther
Nelson Lake We're never legally married,
but lived as many Mormons do in the be-
lief that a common law marriage was all
that was necessary to make their union
eSal. "A few years ago a law was enacted
by Cngres making common law mar
riages inaUtah Illegal, but from what can
be learned there are a few people in that
state who have not yet learned of it.

Be Sure Who You're Talking To.

The latest story by Governor A. 2.
Riddle, OF the Minneapolis Messenger
"The telephone company is going
to lose another phone unless the mat
ter can be fixed up satisfactorily to
all parties. One morning last week
the father OF one of the finest babie
in the city went down to his place of
business, leaving the infant heroically
struggling with severe case of cramp
collie. Soon after arriving at his Office
the anxious father thought he would
call up his wife and inquire after the
baby's health. He rang the bell and
when he had been recognized he
called forth his number. Hello he
called in anxious tones, 'how's the
bellyache?' What, s-i-r-rY came
the response in a strange feminine
voice. Amt you my wifeY inquired
the now thoroughly frightened man
at the phone. NO, l amt, and Pm
going to report you. This is a dry
goods store, answered the young lady
as she hung up the phone and rang
off with Jerk that scared dummy
standing out in the sun sweating
beeswax."

Wreck Of q Gravel Train.

A gravel train was wrecked at the
east end of the Seventh street tunnel,
in this city, Monday, which, while it
did not result in individual injury to
any of the crew in charge, shattered
and ruined four of the eight cars of
the train. The locomotive in striking
the curve, left the track, several of the
cars following, and crushing the ties
which were weak from long usage.
The work of clearing the wreck and
replacing the track was Immediately
begun, but it took twenty-four. hours
of hard work before it was ready for
traffic, and Mondays train for Tacoma
failed make trip that day. The re-
suit of the accident has been that a
weak part of the road has been placed
in tirst-class order, by the laying of
new ties and proper ballasting of the
track on the approach to the tunnel.

A Disguised Man.

A visitor at the Capital city was
promenading the streets, one night
this week. Wanting to know what
time it was, and having left his watch
at the hotel, he proceeded in all conf
dence to Sylvester park to consult the
town clock. But this availed him
nothing, for the electric lights only
bedazzled his eyes while the clock
dials were shrouded in darkness.
He then retraced his steps towards
Odd Fellows Hall, but the clock in the
tower OF that edifice gave him no clue
to the flight of time, for it was moro
inaccessible and invisible than the
courthouse dials. With a whisper of
incipient profanity he then visited all
the jewelry stores only to find them
closed for the night with the lights
gone to sleep. By the aid of reflected
light from the opposite side of the
street he could make out the ghostly
forms of the big regulators but they

night. profanity now became wick
eddy audible, and making dash for his
hotel he bolted into his room and
only found relief in the slumbers of
midnight.
Now the experience of that disgust
ed visitor is the often repeated expert
ence of our own citizens, and if we
were going to preach layman's hon.
lily to our city authorities and the jew
elry store proprietors of Olympia We
would choose for text that divine
precept beginning, LET your light so
shine" etc. In word, let there be
an entire reconstruction in the hang
ing of the courthouse lights, and then
let some one of our jewellers get ahead
of his brethren by hanging an incan-
descent light so it will show the time
by his regulator at all times of the
night.

Burglars ut Laurel.

Three strange colored men made sys-
tcmatic attempt at wholesale burglary in
Laurel last Friday night. The business
houses of C. F. Shaffer, H. c. Frost arc
George E. French, and the office of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were broken
into, but very little has been missed from
any of the places, the object of the burg
lars appa rcntly being to secure money,
and, failing to find that, they decamped.
Several pairs of gloves were missed from
the store of H. G. Frost and they aided in
the capture of one of the miscreants.
The local police were notified and they
communicated with the officers between
Laurel and Washington. About 8 o'clock
Saturday morning Constable Harrison, of
Bladensburg, saw colored man comm g
down the road with a new pair of gloves
on and several pairs protruding from his
pockets. He arrested the man, who made
full confession, duplicating two other
unknown colored men. He stated he had
met them near Laurel during the day and
they planned to make ''swoop'' on the
town. The captured burglar gave his
name as Jones, and said he was from
North Carolina, when taken before Justice
of the Peace William Fl. Robey, who COM
mitted him to jail for the action of the
Grand Jury.
