Great Western Trying to Sc
cure the Road.
It's Ownership by the Great Western
Would Greatly Enhance Stra-
Eetic NaIue OF Latter.

CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-Railroad officials
in 4 position to know say the recent &C
tivity in the securities Of the St Joseph
and Grand Island Railway is caused by
the efforts OF the Sticlney syndicate to
secure control of the line in the open
market
The St. Joseph and Grand Island. which
was formerly branch of the Union Pa
cifc, and is now an independent line. runs
from Kansas City, No, to Grand Island,
Neb.. 312 miles
Fifty Per Cent Bought.
The Great Western Railroad people
have within the past few days purchased
over 90 per cent Of the stock necessary
TO control the line
The advantages Of the acquisition are
apparent, as the addition Of the st. 10
seph and Grand Island Railroad would
carry the Little Western west of the
Missouri. and well into trans Missouri
territory. and would be a serious interior
ence with the community Of interests"
in that section
Increase Of Strategic Value.
Another advantage 10 the Stickney syn
dictate would be that il would enhance
the strategic value OF their property,
and il is generally supposed that either
the Burlington. Rock Island or Union Pa
cifc. to whose detriment the Stickney
lines are operated, will eventually pur-
chase the latter's interest and naturally
the more the Stickney lines spread out
toward Denver the more will their value
be enhanced

TO INCREASE CIRCULATION
Secretary shaw VIII Fry Open Uncl.
Sans strong Rox

Secretary shaw VIII Fry Open Uncie
Sans strong Box
Secretary Shaw will return to WASH
ington coincident with the presidents
arrival at the capital. II is under
stood that he will increase the deposits
or government money in the national
banks to the market value of the bonds
deposited instead of their par value.
Government bonds are now selling at
an average of Is or Is per cent above
the face value. The result of this ac-
ton will therefore be to increase the
amount of government money on de-
post with the banks by fifteen or eigh-
teen millions. There is now In the ma
tional bank repositories 1921 900, 900 OF
government money secured by a like
amount of government bonds. Secre-
tary Shaw contemplates increasing this
amount to about $40, 900, 900. The rea-
sol fen this intended action Ia the news
from Wall street of the tightness OF
the money market. Numerous appeals
have reached the treasury department
the past few days for a loosening up OF
government money idle in the vaults.
The amount expected to be realized to-
morrow will be about all the govern
ment can let go under the present
laws. Practically all of the oustand-
ing free bonds will have been hypothe-
Gated to the government.

Her Smart Stock.

A certain pretty girl has made for
herself Of the prettiest stock col.
lars! And 1t is inc which any girl
who Is at all clever with her needle
might easily copy. The maternal
used is white Liberty satin, the cut
(that should go without saying) is
perfection. Around the top are two
row of French dots In black. Then
comes a row of ribbon, a dainty pink
baby ribbon, edged with black, Just
below this are two rows Of the black
dots. then another double row Of the
dots. that is. three double. rows Of

JFancies Of the Smart Set.

An emerald green haze hangs over
the fashion world.
Killed models reign for walking
skirts.
All the new gowns show a dis.
tinct feminine touch. The stiff, man.
nish styles are decidedly in allegiance.
The prevalence Of the shawl collar
as a garniture for summer gowns is
taken as an indication Of leaning
toward cape-trimmed Jackets for fall,
A new veil with a lace border, call
ed the Du Barry, is the very latest.
Most charming effects are shown in
the new open-throat collar. intended
for wear with a gown just the very
tiniest bit turned in at the back.
Artificial flowers made of silk are
very swagger for trimming the pom
padour gowns so modish this summer.

THE TENSION TIGHTENS
Situation In Anthracite Coal Region
Becoming Acute


Becoming Acute
A Wilkesbarre. Pa, Sept. "a, dispatch
says: The situation in the anthracite
region apparently is becoming more
tense with the passage OF each day.
Outbreaks are reported throughout this
section and the sheriff seems to be
powerless to quell the disturbances. At
Nanticoke the street cars were stopped
and searched for non-unionists, while
at Wanamie a posse and strikers ex-
changed shots. At Plymouth nom
~unionists were held up and beaten on
their way home last night and left by
the roadside fop dead.
In Luzerne county this morning de-
mands came from ten different places
for help and Sheriff Jacobs decided to
appeal to the governor for troops. so
at 2 o'clock this morning he wired an
appeal. stating that the situation in
the Wyoming region was beyond his
control.
At Plymouth at three this morning
James Sanders was probably fatally
stabbed by Mike Gillon, who was called
a "scab' by Sanders.
At 4 o'clock 400 strikers started a
march at Sturmersville, the object be-
ing to prevent the starting of the Exc
ter colliery. They stopped al of the
men on the way to work. Four re-
fused to go back and were pummeled.
Fire Boss Richards was shot in the
leg.

New Fall Trimmings.

There are a wealth of new trim.
mings for the fall. The French in.
genuity is being taxed to the utmost
In this respect, and already some OF
the most novel innovations are dis.
played. For vcilinGs there are some
marvellous wooden embroideries inter.
woven with silk which arc most ef.
fective. Such ~embroideries must,
however, contrast with the general
colors OF the gown. One would i'm
agine that the use of wool upon light
veilings would result in a heavy eff.
feet, but so d%elicately. and SO clever.
ly are the wooden threads woven that
the effect Is rich, but not in the
least cumbersome. Some of the new.
est yelling gowns have the trimming
In question embroidered directly upon
them, but still others are simply or
namented with ii in the ordinary
applique fashion.
Even on tulles these wooden EN-.
Droideries are employed, but in such
cases the design is almost exclusively
floral, or foliage %garlands, which,
when encrusted on the tulle. have the
effect Of flowers or vines running
through 1t.

A becoming belt is m that is made
of three strips of velvet ribbon about
an inch wide. At tho middle of the
back they are caught together and
stiffened with a little piece Of whale.
bone three inches In length. The
ends are caught together in front to
form a width Of an inch and a half or
less, and put Into n smart buckle.
This shape of belt, which may be
made in any sort OF colored ribbon. Is
most becoming. and gives a rounded
appearance to the waist. A charming
wide belt may be made OF three bands
of insertion mounted on ribbon and
joined together, the front being laced
down with baby ribbon velvet. An.
other pretty belt may be made OF
black ribbon velvet with n or two
upright bows at the back, caught
across with n fiat buckle.

An Altoona, Pa, Sept. "a, dispatch
says: President Roosevelt, it was au-
t~horitatively stated today, spent the
best night IN the train last night that
he has had since his northwestern tour
began and so suddenly terminated. He

ing. He had a slight fever yesterday,
a fact not mentioned at the time, but
this morning his temperature was nor

terrupted, broken not even by the early
morning stop at Pittsburg.
The president awoke about $50 and
greatly enjoyed his breakfast. He was
in a most pleasant humor and joked
with DR.. Lung, who examined the
wound on his left leg. A compress Is
kept securely about 1t and 1t is hoped
that the wound may not fill up again.

Mrs. Annie Pulitzer, with the murder
of Mrs. Kate Feeley, who was enticed
away from Mrs. Joanna Lucie's fiat and
hacked to piece on October 6, 1899. Cap
tain Schmittberger states that there
are points of strong resemblance be-

and Young. Both were dark and west

Several negroes were terrified. About
