Marking children for the purposes
of Identification is the latest fad in
foreign fashionable circles, SAYS the
Philadelphia Record. This is done by
tattooing and several skilled men and
women are making handsome sums OF
money by operating upon them and
their elders. II seems as II this fad
for dishguring the beautiful skin Of the
body has taken too firm a hold upon
the moneyed class to die away until
everybody OF note has been marked.
Then some fine day restless fiekle-
fancied beauty Will discover that she
has tired OF features OF the man she
thought she loved when they were
ground into her white flesh. and sud
denly up will spring small army OF
skilled operators who will pick out the
Questionable marks and charge a
pretty penny for the Job. The fad viii
gradually die out, but the value or
attooiEg viii never be disputed as
long as abduction occupies the atten-
ton Of the wicked. Hosts OF children
could be lost and never traced because
they have no distinguishing marks, not
even moies, whose location could be re-
membered. The tattooed places need
not be large or ugly. but they should
be UNIQUE to fulIy answer their pur-
pose Owing TO the use OF cocaine

Wellington has now regained her

Wellington has now regained her
former supremacy as a railroad divis-
ion point, and the outlook for
increased advantages were never
better. One thing is certain: Wei.
lingtOn will never lose any Of the
good things now coming her way and
to which she owes debt Of gratitude
to the Santa Fe. The new PecOs
Valley line and the Blackwell exten.
sion preclude anything of that sort.
The appointment of a superintend-
ent for this division was a necessity
made by the increased business on
what is known as the Panhandle
division" We verify believe that it
is the intention Of the Santa Fe to
consolidate the Wellington and Ar.
kansas City division, at some future
time and handle the entire business
from Wellington. This will be done
as soon as possible after the extension
to Perry is completed and the Amar.
lO.AlbuQuerQue cutoff is built. The
Acknowledgements cutoff is the
next agreeable surprise in store for
Wellington people.
Just as soon as the extension into
Blackwell is completed next week the
Santa Fe will probably commence
running solid passenger trains over
that branch. The freight trains have
all they can do at present, and no
business is yet being handled for

Increased Telephone ADVANTAGES.

1t is quiet day indeed when some.
thing advantageous for Wellington
does not turn up. By the completion
Of the gap in the NJ. g. K. Telephone
Co.'S. line south Of Perry, OF, today,
Wellington is given telephone COM
munication with Guthrie, Oklahoma
City, El Reno and intermediate towns.
This line will be Of great commercial
value to Wellington iD afording quick
communication between the branch
wholesale houses to be established 10
this city and the merchants in the
towns through which the new tele.
phone line runs.
The gap in the line was closed at 10
o'clock this morning when workmen
south Of Perry strung the last wire on
the extension and spliced 1t with a
wire running from Guthrie. The
Wellington office was talking with
Guthrie and El Reno at II o'clock TO-
day.
The N. & K. company has had a
line in operation from Guthrie to El
Reno via Oklahoma City for some
time. The line closing the gap was
all that was needed 70 give the Okla.
homa towns direct communication
