peka and is once more under the pro-
lection of his wife. When he left here
Mrs. Sells-G -Greenspan said she did not
know where he had gone, his reason
for going, or when he would return, but
he now says that she knew all about it
He says he has been in Chicago on

left Topeka his wife discovered that he
was drawing checks in her name and

HARD TO FIND.
Firemen Have Trouble to Respond to
a Call

a Call
The fire department was called this
morning by a telephone message for a
fire at J. G. Darling'S, corner of Eighth
and Kansas avenue.
The wind blew an awning down and
carried with it the telephone wire which
was crossed on an electric light wire.
The telephone was burned out with no
other damage. After calling the fire
department the firemen were left to
hunt the fire in the neighbOrhOOd the
best they could. When people send an
alarm calling the department to some
neighborhOOd they should remember
and wait at the box or the neighbOr-
hood to which the department is called
in order to direct the fremen where to
go.

the Shops There.
Bismarck Tribune: The special train
bearing President Mellen and the officials
of the Northern Pacific returned east
Sunday night. passing through the city
late in the evening. Among the matters
considered by the officials on the trip
west was that of the rebuilding of the
shops partially destroyed by fire at Man.
dan recently and the officials have de-
cided to rebuild them at that place. 1t
is reported that when the train stopped
at Mandan, President Mellen stated to
the people assembled that the shops
would be rebuilt there. The announce
ment was received with a good deal of
relief in Mandan, where there has been
much apprehension lest the shops be
moved, and the decision was appropriate
ly celebrated with bon6res and sich-in
the city across the river last night.
The following is a speech that it is re-
ported President Mellen intended to
make to the citizens of Bismarck-but
did not-owing probably to the ~lateness
of the hour:
"The railroad officials have decided to
retain their shops at Mandan. 1t is the
policy of the road to build up the towns
along its line-not to tear them down.
Mandan needs the shops in order to keep
in business. 1t will not do to leave them
with nothing but the state fair. Bismarck
