Silver Haired Widow.
spokesman Review

Mrs. A. S. Clemishire, the "Sil-
yer Haired Widow" whose troubles
with Pullman hotel man were told
i'll the newspapers, left memories in
Spokane after a meteoric career here
last fall. S. 7. Arthur, proprietor
of the Fernwell hotel, mourns $34
which the silver haired traveller has
neglected to pay. Said Mr.. Arthur;
Mrs. Clemishire is certainly one
of the best single handed confidence
takers that ever came to the Pacific
coast. She tells her story so sweetly
that it is almost impossible to doubt
her. The only trouble is that she
lacks the nerve to make a strong
finish, and she always falls down
before she lands any big money.
When she came here last August,
she announced she was Margaret
Tracy, of Munsey's editorial staff,
and she showed some articles signed
by that name which she said were
hers. She said she was getting
articles on Spokane and on promi-
nent mining men. There was also
story she told about an old sweet
heart Of hers, one 'Dimples, up at
Nome, who bad staked placers for
her. She had letter typewriter
and she signed the name of one
Chilkoot of Seattle, offering her a
quarter of a million for the ground.
She flashed that on me and it really
looked good. | advised her to cor
respond further on the subject.
Soon afterwards she disappeared,
leaving a S34 room rent bill unpaid.

BUSINESS CHANGES
STORES CHANGE OWNERSHIP

A couple of important changes in
Pullman business establishments
have taken place this week, one be-
ing the consolidation of the firms of
McCann & Outman and Neil Stew
art & Sons, and the other the pur-
chase of the Driver & Stuffle drug
store by DR.. H. w. Hall and F. A.
Mcqueen.
The first change was brought
about through the purchase by
Stewart & Sons of Mr.. McCann's
interest in the hardware store of Nc
Cam & Outman, Mr.. Outman re-
tanning his interest in the consoli-
dated store. On about November
Ist the McCann & Outman stock
will be moved to the building now
occupied by the Stewards, which is
being made ready for its reception
by the construction of a 2ox3o, two
story, extension. The new firm to
be composed of Mr.. Outman and
the Messrs. Stewart will be incor-
porated, and will conduct a hard
ware, implement and vehicle busi-
ness complete in every department.
The retirement of Mr.. McCann
was made necessary by the contin-
ued i'll health of his wife, and as
soon as he can close his business
here, he will remove to a climate
that he hopes will improve Mrs.
McCann's health.
Another change was the transfer
of the Driver & Stuffle drug store
to DR.. H. w. Hall and F. Z. Nc
Queen, the latter having been pres
cription clerk for the old firm The
establishment will be known as the
Mcqueen & Hall drug store. Messrs.
Driver & Stuff1e retain the book
and stationery store, that part of
the business being conducted as
heretofore.

The royalty was reduced from dime to time and finally replaced by the export tax of two and one-hllf per cent. The clalm reserv- alton act was repealed, the old toll road was closed up, the sio door and other abuses were abolished and Joe Clarke was removed from the public service along wi h others of the slus ilk.
 Had those old abuses been malntaloed until now-had ths goveumsnt made no move ln the direction of remsdylng the wrongs which existed, If Clarke wers stlll d5lag business at the old stand, there would bs room tor the eaptious criticisms occ siona!lv heard.

COMMITTEE WORKING
 ON ARMY POST MATTER
Statement of Birmingham's Advan- tages is Now Before the
 Army Board.

The plan to secure a permanent army post for Birmingham is not being allow ed to sleep by the committee in charge of the movement. MT. G. H. Estes, chairman of that committee. is working quietly and bringing to bear all influ- ences which might possibly assist in mak- ing Birmingham a winner before the army board.
 The written statement of the advant- ages of the city as prepared by MT. Estes committee was presented by Con- gressman Underwood to General Miles, who at the time stated that enough ground was desired for the manouvering of an entire army. The number of acres necessary for this work is variously es- timated at from 2000 to 10000.
 Members of the board will visit the different cities which have made appli- cation for posts, and will make their re- ports to the full board. MT. Estes said that the interests of Birmingham would at all times be carefully watched and everything possible done to secure the location of the post here.

 In the Dining Car

MT. A. A. Munger, a wealthy Kansas City, Mo-, merchant lost over $1, GOO worth of diamonds Saturday afternoon on the K. C. M. & B. train from Memphis just after it had crossed the Alabama line, but they were later recovered by a por- ter who found them on O pile of soiled linen in the dining car MT. Munger was Agee the party en route to Jacksonville, Fla.
 Mrs. Munger kept the diamonds in a chain purse and which was laid on the seat in the sleeping car, while MT. and Mrs. Munger went into the dining car for dinner. Mrs. Agee remained in the sleep CT. and it is supposed that she went to sleep for few minutes. When Mrs. Nun ger returned from the dining car, she looked to see if the 1.amonds were safe but there was nothing but an empty bag She had made certain the diamonds were in the bag before going to the dining room, as they had been stolen only a short time before in Kansas City.
 She told her husband of the loss and they were talking of it. when l.. F. Hem derson, the news butcher on the train passed. He flushed up when he heard them, and this lead them to suspect the boy. They notified the conductor, who told the boy to pack his goods up and that he would have to be searched Hen derson refused to be searched when car

ried into the smoker at the end or the car, so the conductor carried him into the baggage car and asked the baggage master to watch him. The boy begged to be allowed to speak to Mir. Munger. This was permitted, and he was carried through the dining car 10 the sleeper. He talked a minute to Mir. Munger and was carried back. me cogHuctor then intend cd searching him thoroughly, but did not have time owing to the closeness of the next station.
 The flagman was then asked to watch the boy. He did so and again the boy asked to be allowed to speak to MT. Mum ger. He was carried through the dining car a second time to the sleeper and back. Just after the second trip the dia- monds were found by waiter on pile of soiled linen in one corner of the car. It was then supposed that Henderson had thrown them there in passing the last time, as they were on top.
 A telegram was sent to Birmingham asking that an officer .e sent to meet the train Detective Cole was sent out and arrested the boy holding him on suspicion. He was carried to Chief of Police Austin's office, and as MT Nun ger refused to prosecute him, the rail- road officials were notified. They did not care to take any steps if MT. Munger did not care to prosecute the case and the boy was accordingly released.

BOY FOOLS MOTHER.
Little Son of Chicago Stock Broker
 Journeys Home Alone.

New York January 5.-The police today sent out general alarm telling of the disappearance of Allan Mallory, 10 years old, son of Charles Mallory, a Chicago stock broker. Mrs. Mallory and the boy were on their way from Chicago to Bos- ton. Stopping over here, Mrs. Mallory went shopping yesterday afternoon with Allan and lost track of him. The boy had with him $50 in money and railroad pass between Buffalo and Chicago.
 At 1o:3O o'clock tonight, while Mrs. Mall lory, who is the guest at the Holland House here. was talking to MT. Mallory in Chicago over the telephone. MT. Nal lory suddenly interrupted her and an- nounced that Allan had just walked into the house on Union avenue. Englewood, Chicago.
 From the story told here 1t was the in- tention to place Allan in a school at Stamford, Conn. Last week he was taken to see the place, and announced that he did not care to enter that school. He was not taken seriously. but when he and his mother reached New York to make some pun chases the lad quietly boarded train and set out for home.

RaAroaA Wor\d.

The passenger departments of local railway offices are very much agitated over rumors to the effect that the South ern and the Frisco System would open city ticket agencies and carry a full line of tickets. as is carried by the Southern in Atlanta. The idea is favored by sever al agents, while others are violently op- posed to 1t.
 It is known in railroad circles that Travelling Passenger Agent c. D. Jackson of the Southern has advised that his com pany open an office; and that the matter is being seriously considered by the pas senger department of that road. This of- flee, if opened, would do the business of the Southern and Alabama Great South ern and, though local tickets would be kept on hand, speciality would be made of through tickets.
 A number of passenger agents, in dis cussng the matter yesterday. expressed themselves in favor of the idea. MT. Jack son, in talking of the question. said:
 ''The need of ticket agencies where through tickets can. be obtained other than at the passenger station is appar- ent to any man who makes a visit to the present station. The crowd and the con- dition of many purchasers of tickets at the station make it very disagreeable for lady to buy a ticket at the window. Especially is this true when the ticket is not local ticket and some informa- tion is desired with reference to connec- tions and schedules.
 "Of course this condition was made better by the opening of another window, but even with that window the space is so small at the station that enough men can not be placed in the office to accom- modate the people as they should be &C., commodated. This matter has been the cause of untold complaint by men and women alike; and should in some way be remedied
 "The, institution of city ticket offices would prove the most effective remedy I know of. It would provide place where persons might secure all possible infor- nation relative to schedules. connections and secure tickets without being pushed much in favor of the opening of the of- fees and hope it will be done in the near future."
 It Is not known what action will be taken by the railroad companies, but it is believed that offices will be opened within the next few months.
 The new trains of the Southern between Birmingham and Atlanta will be inau- gurated this morning. the first arriving in this city at 9:5S o'clock. It will leave Anniston at 7:3O o'clock this morning and return during the afternoon. leaving the passenger station at 4:30 o'clock One train will be run from Anniston to At lanta, making similar schedules
 This train will give the citizens along the road the opportunity to come into Birmingham. do their shopping. and re- turn the same day. Tho train will not have the disadvantage of having to wait for connections from any other part of the country. The business the road will do will of course be local. All passengers for points beyond Anniston in either di- rection will be handled by the present trains, whose schedules will remain prac- tically as at present

NEW INSURANCE
 RATE BOOK OUT
TARIFF ASSOCIATION PUTS OUT CIRCULAR PLACING BIRMlNG- HAM ON FIRST CLASS BASIS. THERE ARE MANY CHANGES.

The new insurance rate book of the Southeastern Tariff Association has been issued and copies were distributed Satur- day. The book places Birmingham on first class basis, whereas the old rate was on a second class basis
 I This rate means reduction on an aver age of 25 per cent This reduction, how account of changed conditions which have been taken into account since the Old rate was issued. The former rate was made several years ago, and many revi- 1ions and changes have been made by the association since then.
 In numerous cases there have been changes in the line of business conduct In houses since the rate was first issued which were taken into account under the new rate. For instance a rate in the first book was made on a grocery store on Second avenue. Since the publication of this rate the store has been changed and a restaurant is now being conducted in the place. Of course this change of busi- ness was considered in the matter of the new rate.
 The rate Is also affected by the build ling laws. The city council passed law which changed the manner of issuing Building permits. This law requires that ll buildings must be erected on standard
 architectural plans and that the plans
 bust be examined by the city engineer
 sfore a permit can be issued.
 / The rate book was made up by Special Agent Tanner of the association, and confirms strictly with the laws ruling first class risks.
