HUSBAND Io ALMOST
 PROSTRATED WITH GRIEF.

Chicago. October 29.-Commander Booth- Tucker, who arrived in Chicago today ex- pecting to join his wife here, was pros- trated by the shock of Mrs. Booth-Tuck- and denied himself to all but his intimate quarters he declined to be interviewed and denied himsel ito all. but his intimate friends. Ensign Agnew. speaking for the commander, said that he had thus far made no plans for the immediate future. Commander Booth-Tucker arrived this morning from New York He was met at the railway station by Salvation army off, hcers and taken in a carriage direct to headquarters. No mention of his wife S death was made on the way. The ar arrangements were that Commander Tucker and wife were to meet here, Mrs. Tucker arriving from the west at about the same hour as her husband. and they were to have begun a ten-days' campaign on Sat- urday night.
 Arriving at headquarters, the command CT asked for his wife and expressed sur prise that she had not met him. As gently as he could, Colonel Sowden, in charge of the Chicago station, said: Command CT. your wife is dead. She was killed in a wreck"
 Commander Booth-Tucker staggered, raised his hand to his forehead and ex- claimed "God help me; is 1t true?" and fell in a swoon. Pitifully moaning and wringing his hands he seemed for time beside himself He asked over and over if the statement was true, appearing un- able to believe it. For an hour he sat with his head bowed in his hands As soon as he had revived sufficiently the telegram announcing the death of his wife was read to him. The dispatch was from Ensign Dammes. secretary to Mrs. Booth-Tucker, and was dated Marceline, Mo. a. m, and read: Consul passed from earth. Bringing her aboard same train for Chicago"
 Arrangements were made at once for the reception of the body at Chicago and the funeral services here. The remains will then be taken to New York, and doubtless later to London for burial.
 News Reaches England.
 London. October 29.-The news of the death of Mrs. Booth-Tucker reached the International Salvationst headquarters here through a dispatch of the Associated Press. The heads of the international de- partment met, held short session and dispatched cable message of sympathy to Salvation Army headquarters in New York General Booth wished to go his residence and break the news of Mrs. Booth-Tucker' death.

Homer A. RiCliey.

The usually quiet town Of Pick.
ems was nevor more shocked than
1t was last Thursday morning when
the news spread over it that Ho.
mer A. Richey was-dead-dead.
Even his intimate friends were
unaware that he was i'll and we're
shocked beyond measure to know
that he was dead.
He had been confined to his
room but a few days, beginning
Friday before his death, and he
appeared to have cold or grippe
which is so prevalent that people
pay but little attention to it. The
day before his death. he seemed
quite cheerful, and stated that he
expected to be out in very few
days. But he was taken sudden.
ly worse Wednesday night and all
human agencies for his relief were
in vain, and the noble, manly spir.
it took its everlasting flight about
3 o'clock Thursday morning.
The shock to the grief stricken
family beggars description.
Our deceased friend was in the
29th year Of his age, and was fine
peciman of physical manhood.
Since March 1897, he had been
connected with his brother-in-law
j. l.. O. Thompson in the publ.
cation of the Plckens Sentinel.
He was also actively engaged in
business with his father, under
the firm nane of H. A. Richey &
Sons.
He was @ member of the town
council, and was it's efficient clerk.
The deceased leaves stricken
household, consisting Of father,
mother, one brother, James T.. :,
and seven sisters; Mrs. Martin,
Mrs. Flora Lathem, Mrs. j. L. O.
Thompson. Mrs. B. B, LaBoon,
Misses Olga, Sadie and Ola Belle.
After brief funeral services at
the home, the remains we're taken
charge of by his brother Masona
of Keowee Loege, of which he was
@ member, and inferred with the
SOLEMN and beautiful rites of that
ancient and noble order.
Seldom in the history of the
town has a larger attendance gath.
cred to pay the last token of re.
spect to q departed friend.
The sincerest sympathy of the
entire community goes out to the
uorely bereaved family.

RESULTS OF COMBINATIONS

1t seems that the claim that the
organization Of trusts and the merg-
ing Of railroads into great groups,
dominated by one man. would result
in reducing the cost of operating, the
lowering of rates and increased divi-
dendS to stockholders, was all a
dream and the very opposite has beeu
the actual result The fact is that
rates have been increased and the net
earnings of the roads have decreased
One OF the most distinguished finan-
cial writer's in New York city calls
attention to the fact that the full re-
ports of the roads and various other
combinations for most of the year
1902, now just available, show the
gross earnings for 10G roads for No
vember increased $6,5O6,446 and oper-
ating expenses increased $7,448,17 re-
sulting in a decrease in net earnings
of $941 ,729. Gross earnings of 103
companies for eleven months increased
$50, ,279,743 but the operating expenses
show an increase of $57525, sos, re-
sulting in a decrease in net earnings
of $L245,863.
Every farmer knows that as soon as

congress is under the thumb of the
trusts? He cannot be got at in that
way. There is no way but to suffer
and bear these exactions except where
state law may give relief. The execu-
tive officers of the United States will
render no assistance as long as the
republican party is in power If Roose-
welt should ask the attorney general
to resign. there would be such unani-
nous pressure brought by the leaders
of the republican party upon the pres
ident that he could not appoint any
other kind of man. If he appointed
a man whom the trusts really feared,
he would not be confirmed by the SEN
ate The newspapers would trump up
Infamous charges against him and
give such wide publication to them
that the senate would be upheld in its
refusal by public opinion. There is no
way of escape from the extortion OF
the trusts but to put the republican
party out of power, and to do that all
who oppose trusts must vote for the
same candidates.

business will go to- ruin. Hired men,
however devoted they are, cannot do
it. 1t is in the very nature of things.
Expenses will run up and profits will
run down.
Men working in two scientific fields,
not at all related to each other, have
predicted this result from the very
beginning of this craze for merging
and com mbination. The doctors said
that the successful conducting of such
enormous interests by one man would
break him down in short time, that
no man could endure the strain for
many years. The economists said that
it was impossible to condcct such
enormous concerns from one office,
some of which spread out over whole
continent, and do it as efficiently and
economically as when it was conducted
by many smaller concerns, with men
in supervision who were personally
interested in success. The results so
far reached, prove that the doctors
and economists were right. Several
of, the big magnates are physical
wrecks. One general superintendent
broke down and for months has been
j.. Europe trying to regain his health.
The profits of stockholders have grown
less and the cost to the people has
greatly increased A few men by
these manipulations and defiance Of
all law have accumulated immense
fortunes. That is the result SO far
Have the people had enough of it?

republican campaign. These sort of
squeezes come in between times. 1t
is probable that if an election were
held at the present time in northern
Nebraska that the railroads could not
elect even one member of the legisla-
ture in all that part of the state. But
by the time the next voting day ar
rives, the bowling republican coyotes
will walk up and vote 'er straight as
usual.
May God have mercy on their
souls.
