Big Engine is Speedy.

Railway men of all classes are watching with much interest the tests of the moo series of engines of the Rock island road, the larg- est running out of Chicago in pas senger service. Engine No. r2o1 was given its first severe test for power and speed last week. The patrons of the Rock Islands $ first excursion to Colorado occupied fourteen of the largest and heaviest coaches. This was enough for two trains to be pulled by ordinary passenger engines of thesday, con sidering the speed required. The big engine did all that was expec- ted of it and more. Between Chi cago and Rock Island 1t pulled that train of fourteen coaches with ease on schedule time, and when called on for little extra effort de veloped speed of over 75 miles an hour.
 Engines of that class will haul all the special trains which will be used by the Rock Island in its cat-iaS of CpIorodo aycI1rSip,lc at the rate of one fare plus S2.oo foi the round trip. Three more ex- cursions will be given, leaving here July 9, July r and August |. The departing time of the special trains will be 4:45 P. m., but on 1 the dates named excursion tickets will also be honored on all regular trains. The special trains to be used are high-class throughout. 1 Through dining car service is pro vided and the run from Chicago to Colorado is made with only one night on. the road. Excursion rates will be made to Colorado and Utah from all points on the line ol the Rock Island between the Mis- souri River and Chicago. .-Chica- go Inter-Ocean.

Postmaster w. V. Van Ostern,
who is night watchman at the ovens,
was the victim of holdup at 3 a. m.
today while on duty. He was going
from the east end of string No. 2 up
to his cabin at the other end and
had over his arm heavy robe which
he uses for protection against the
elements. While passing an empty
box car two men pounced upon him,
one pinioning his arms and the
other covering his head with the
robe, which he snatched. The as
sailants rifled his pockets and took
his purse, but did not touch his
watch. In the purse was so cents.
Mr.. Van Ostern was unarmed and
could not make any resistance. He
cannot identify the robbers.

Sheriff Watson came up from
Gunnison Friday bringing with
him George Kupushian, whom he
captured in Leadville and who was
brought back ito answer to the
charge of obtaining goods under
false pretenses. The charges were
preferred by H. E. Roth, and Mar
tin Verzuh is interested to GER
tain extent. Kupushian was given
hearing before Justice of the
Peace Bruce. He pleaded guilty
to the charge and was committed
without bail to the county Jail to
await trial before the District
court. 1t appears that he bor-
rowed several sums of money and
purchased large bill of merchan-
disc and Immediately afterward
quietly left town. He is ignorant
and views his serious predicament
with much levity. Evidence in
the case shows Kupushian to have
been clearly guilty and he will
probably land in the penitentiary.

John Lawson johnson, the noted
English dietetic, died at Cannes
the other day at the age of 81. A
great many people who never gave
a thought to dietetics have lived
to be centenarians. AS general
rule it is safe to predict that the
man who is studying how to live a
hundred or two hundred years will
never reach the goal. The moral,
if there is any, is probably that
good sense and a good constitu-
ton are worth more than dietetics.
just what action a husband may
be justified in taking toward a
stranger too attentive to his wife
is to receive legal consideration in
New Jersey, and it is to be hoped
n leading case will be established
whereby future conduct may be
regulated. 1t happened that one
Paul Papua returned home from
South Africa on the day that saw
his hated rival, George Golitz, be-
come the husband of the young
woman to whom both were for
merly devoted Papua pocketed
his chagrin and disappointment
and appeared. He was the joli-
est there, according to reports, and
led in the merrymaking. When
dancing began the defeated suitor
led the bride out on the floor and
tripped measure with her decor
iously and properly, but the sec
ond dance, which he sought
soon after, was just the reverse.
In the height of the music he sud-
denly began to kiss the bride, and
would not desist, although the
husbands protests were plainly
audible. When Mr.. Papua delib-
erately bit the ear of his partner,
the bridegroom and the other
guests interfered, with the result
that Mr.. Papua was taken to a
hospital to be repaired. The
world has little sympathy for the
ordinary uxorious, jealous spouse
of either sex. They only bring
misery upon themselves and others.
But Mr.. Golitz cannot be charac-
teriZed as an unreasonable man in
objecting to the continued salut-
ing of his bride by an outsider.
No more should he be punished
for taking umbrage at the moment
Papua showed cannibalistic ten
denotes.
