NOT Be CHANGED
Tax Will Continue as at Present,
Says Secretary of Dairy
Union.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Knight Of Chicago, formerly of Mime
apo]is, secretary Of the National Dairy
union, has been in. Washington for sew
eral days, inquiring as to the outlook
for legislation reducing the tax of 10
cents a pound on oleomargarine colored

Gated, and they have been given to I'M
doing" in the way of changing the law.

thousands. Even John A. Mccall, who
left the New York state insurance
department few years ago to become
president of the New York Life Insurance
company, admits that he is personally
worth 100000. He got command Of
funds that were needed In the great

Defense Comedies It and Prepares

Special to The Journal.

Geofse R. o Koch viii T be- indicted for the
murder of DR.. Gerhard. The prosecu-
ton asserts it with the greatest conf

The state is not submitting it's entire
case to the grand jury, feeling that this

Wydell of st. Paul, a Pinkerton man
employed by the county Immediately
after the murder. Wydell has devoted
all his time and energies to the case,
and is convinced of the guilt of DR..

that the hammer which crushed the
skull of DR.. Gebhard belonged to DR..

A subpoena was issued today for DR..
Wood Of Hanska with whom DR.,
Koch officed when in that place. Tt is
reported he will describe conversations
with DR.. Koch strongly indicating that
the latter held malice against DR.. Geb-
hard because he was more successful in
practice at New Ulm than Koch.
The Chicago experts have not yet ap-
peared before the jury and it is re-
ported today they will not, as evidence
TO indict is deemed ample without them
Evidence for Koch.
The defense will put impressions of
the fingers of DR.. Koch in evidence at
the regular trial, holding that if there is
any merit in evidence of that character
os contended by the staet, it will all be
in favor of the defendant.

WOLVES EAT A RAILROAD.
The Hungry Beasts pevoured the
Rawhide Track.

The Hungry Beasts Devoured the
Rawhide Track.
About 1872 one of the first railroads
of the Northwest was built in the Ter
ritory of Washington, from Walla
Walla to Wallula, along the banks of
the Walla Walla River, and following
the general line of what is now the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany's road between those points, says
C. f. Oliver, In Recreation.
The road was a primitive affair, and
was built, owned and operated by DR..
Baker, of Walla Walla. 1t had no
Pullman cars, chair cars or buffet cars,
and the day coaches were mostly plat
form or fat cars. Instead of having
right Of way the road had permission
to go through the fields of the farmers,
consequently the road was not rapid
transit one, as the train hands had to
get off and lay down the rail fences
and put them up again, after the train
had passed through, says the Anaconda
(Mont.) Standard.
The roadbed was constructed by lay
ing cross ties six or eight feet apart,
and on those laying wooden stringers
for rails. The heavy traffic over the
road caused the rails to wear in spots
so that train wrecks and smashups
were of daily occurrence. These were
not serious, for when the train crew
saw a wreck coming their way they
would hop off and let 1t wreck.
The annoyances, however, soon be-
came detrimental to the interests of
shippers, so the owner had to devise
some means Of overcoming the diff
Guilty. Rails Of standard railroad iron
were out Of the question, they had to
be shipped "the Horn around" and
freighted by wagon quite a distance,
and strap iron could not be had, and
the doctor, with Yankee shrewdness,
finally hit upon the happy idea of sub
sttuting rawhide for strap iron. Cat
tie were plentiful and rawhide cheap,
so the doctor soon had his tracklayers
at work putting the rawhide on the
wooden stringers. The rawhide soon
became dry and as hard as iron and
answered the purpose admirably dur
ing the dry weather.
The winter succeeding the laying of
the rawhide track was a severe one for
that part Of the country, The snow lay
on the ground for several weeks. The
wolves were driven from the noun
talns by the deep snow and skirmish-
ed for living as best they could In
the valleys. When the snow began to
melt 1t softened the rawhlde and the
hungry wolves soon found the tracks.
When spring came and the snow had
melted the wolves had eaten up the
railroad track from Walla Walla to
Wallula

FASHION HINTS FROM FLOWERS
What Woman Can Learn In Dress by
Studying the Fields.

What Woman Can Learn In Dress by
Studying the Fields.
What can woman learn In dress
from the flowers? Can the lilies of the
field teach her the principles of beauty
In color, line and form that she may
be arrayed as they?
The woman who plans her own
gowns and has the artistic sense will
find abundant suggestion In the colors,
shades and harmonious blendlngs of
the flowers. OF course, in some of the
freak blossoms into which florists now
adays delight to distort nature, COM
binations Of color may be found as In
harmonious as it Is possible to imagine.
Discretion, too, Is eminently necessary.
Nature throws masses of color togeth-
er promiscuously and then blends and
softens them by various effects of the
atmosphere. Many a flower looks
beautiful nodding in Its native haunt
surrounded by masses Of foliage,
which, If taken In the hand and exam
ined by itself, would be found most
crude In coloring. Much of the sue
cess of such a plan would depend upon
a woman's ability to produce the whole
effect of any flower In her gown. The
unframed eye looking at the rose will
see pink. The eye of the artist look
ing at the same flower will see a varle-
ty Of colOrs-grays and purples, whites
and pinks. These are the colors, not
just plain pink, with which he must
produce the rose upon his canvas.
There are, however, never more than
two positive colors in any flower. This
teaches valuable lesson, a woman
should never have more than two posi-
tive colors in her costumes. There Is
something also In the Idea that large
women would do we'll to copy their
costumes from the larger flowers. Such
fowers-the tulip, poppy, etc.-are
generally variegated. A big mass of a
single color is never eautiful-nature
avoids it.--London Express.
