PROBLEM OF THE RAILROADS.
Question is Between Consolidation and
Other Schemes of Protection Against
RuinOuS Dates

Henry Clews trade review says:
One effect of the merger decision has
been to remove the uncertainty which
held in check a number Of important
railroad deals. Now that competing
roads cannot be put under control of
holding company other means are be-
ing sought for railroad development,
for restraint of cut-throat competition,
and for stability in rates and earnings.
The enormous growth of our railroad
systems has created forces width tax
the ingenuity Of our ablest financiers
and lawyers to withstand; and self
preservation is simply driving the
great leaders into some sort of CO.
operation, which they naturally desire
to make as permanent as possible
Just where the line shall be drawn
between too much concentration and
too much competition is the problem
now before the railroad magnates Of
the west; and it is impossible for
either insiders or outsiders to antici-
pate the final outcome. Suffice it to
say that moves of great importance
are now being made on the financial
chessboard the ultimate outcome of
which is likely to be beneficial to all
concerned. Incident to these final OBJ
jects there may be temporary differ
ences Of opinion, as we'll as strong
play for position and mastery, but all
interests seem agreed that something
must be done to conserve the interests
Of both owners and users of railroads,

and reasonableness Of rates. Since

A LIFE PRISONER is DEAD.
Death of M. j. Villers, Life Prisoner at the
Penitentiary. with Gruesome Record
of Crime. #4.s. ..=#5=

M. ). Villers. life. prisoner in the
penitentiary from LaMoure county,
died Sunday Of cystitis. He has been
Ill for several years., in, fact having
come to the institution seven or eight
years ago in such poor health that he
was at once put under medical care.
The case of Villers was one of the
most interesting from a criminal
standpoint of any in the institution.
He was first brought to the penitenti-
airy in 1895 for an assault upon Mrs.
August Tromner. The history of the
case briefly is as follows: In the
year 1895 or Whereabouts August
Tromner, a farmer living in LaMoure
county disappeared. No one knew of
his whereabouts, although the last
seen of him he was with Villers.
Some time after he disappeared, vii
lers went to the Tromner place, as
saulted Mrs. Tromner and threw her
in an old well, at the same time firing
the barn. He thought no doubt he
had killed the woman but she man
aged to crawl out of the well and
crawled to the neighbors stating what
had been done. Villers was arrested
and sentenced to nine and half
years in the penitentiary. After he
had been in the institution for year

The round skirt which was worn a

dalton of competing lines has been de-
cided to be against both the Sherman
Antitrust law and public interest,
some other device must be utilized,
temporarily at least, until better one
is secured. The community of-inter-
est idea has consequently received a
fresh and powerful impetus from the
recent decision Of the supreme court,
and most Of the negotiations now 60
ing on seem to be based upon that
plan. One thing is quite certain:
those who have lead in these move
ments are not going to risk another
such experience as the Northern Pa
cific panic Of 1901. There is fortu
nately little, if any, probability Of
repetition of that memorable event
About all that can be said is that ex-
ceedingly important negotiations are
under way between those who control
the various continental railroad sys-
TENS, and that these parties are earn
estly working to reach an understand
ing, either by friendly means or pos
sibly through the courts, but not by
contest in buying for control. The
sharp advance in Union Pacific was
unquestionably the result of these
movements; but, since nearly all Of
the Pacific roads are still enjoying ex-
ceptional prosperity and earning con-
siderably more than present dividends.
the present is an especially oppor-
tune time for reaching an agreement;
much more so than if traffic were
scarce and dividends problematical.

HINTS FOR OUTING COSTUMES.
Christine Terhune HerrIck Gives Some Hints for
Outing Costumes Suitable Women IN
Athletic Sports end Exercise.

The American woman has evolved
an outing costume that is far ahead of
that worn by the women of any other
nation.
The Englishwoman is devoted to
sport, but in the Joy of this she is SO
needless of her appearance that her
dress is usually synonym for dowd-
mess. The Frenchwoman cares COM
paratively little for out door sports,
but she INDUCES in them because one
must keep up with the times. Use
fulness Of costume for such occasions

With either, one of these it is neces.
sary to have some warm, outer gar
ment to throw on when one is over
heated, and for this there is nothing
better than the sweater. .s5...-,@.
Concerning the sweater one could
say many things and all of them laud-
atory. Gone are the days when it
meant an ugly sort of shirt that
woman could only put on by pulling
1t over her head, thereby running her
couture and making it necessary for
her to .'do' her hair over again. Now
the sweater goes on like a jacket and
the only ugly thing about it is its
name. 1t comes in both light and
heavy weights and in all colors It is
knit by hand or made by machine and
although the former is the swell,-and
expensive-thing to have, one is quite
as comfortable in a sweater that is
the product of machinery. The sweat
er of either kind comes with a collar
or without, with sleeves or sleeveless.
The latter form is much less useful
than the former. The girl who has a
sweater of any kind is In luck Her
Jacket might be injured by crushing.
Her sweater she may tie in hard
knot, if she WILL and it is none the
worse, or what is more likely, she
can roll it into tight little bundle,
fasten it to the handle bars of her
wheel and ride herself into a drench-
ing perspiration with the calm knowl-
edge that when she comes to the end
Of her run she has a little friend to
keep her from catching cold. The
sweater may not be very becoming to
the over stout figure, but to the slen-
der or medium size form it moulds
itself most pleasingly and is good as
well as pretty.
The march of progress in attract
, iveness has not passed by the outing
hat. Time was when the only thing
to wear for wheeling, for tennis OF
for anything else of the sort was q
sailor hat. This was a hard head
piece, that almost always induced 8
headache sooner or later. AS it was
usually worn the sailor hat failed tc
shade the eyes and was an uncomfort
able thing altogether Some women
wore boys caps or knockabout hats
as a substitute for the sailor, but Of
late years there have arisen outing
hast that are charming as well as
| easy. Soft felts, bamboo and Manila
! straws that can be bent any way sc
, that they will not take the wind toe
! much in riding wheel or boating, OF
fail to protect the eyes in tennis OF
golf, are made in such becoming
shapes that almost they persuade the
non-athletic girl to plunge into athle.
tic sports at once. Such hat is ar
indispensable part of the outing girls
; equipment.
Thus far mention has been made
of the dress that would be used ii
bicycling and in games. When one
comes to horseback riding, there
must be something different. Ever
here common sense has made it's way
