SPANISH WAR HERO
A BRIDEGROOM
MARRIAGE IN SAN FRANCISCO
OF THE SOLDIER WHO "CAR-
RED THE MESSAGE TO GAR
GA"

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-Cap-
carried the message to Garcia" is
going to be married.
The lady who has captured the
captains heart is Mrs. Josephine de
Greanger of this city. She is we'll
known in social circles here and a
prominent club woman.
Captain Rowan became famous the
world over when he performed the
feat which caused his name to be
enumerated among the heroes of the
Spanish war.
When the war broke out 1t became
necessary for President Mckinley to
secure the cooperation of Garcia, the
leader of the insurgents, who was
then hidden in mountain Businesses
of Cuba. How to get the news to
Garcia puzzled the president until
someone suggested Rowan as the one
person who could accomplish the feat
So Rowan was sent for and given his
orders.
Swapping the oilskin packet con-
tanning the letter over his heart, the
lieutenant set out on his journey. In
four days he landed in an open boat
on Cuban soil, and then plunged into
the almost impenetrable jungle. 1t
took him three weeks to pierce the
country, surrounded as he was by
foes on every side. At the end of that
time he emerged from the jungle and
found Garcia and delivered the letter
in safety.

Railroad Assessment
Reduced

The board of equalization yesterday
refused to grant the railroads the
stock. A reduction was allowed on
the machinery in the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific shops. Assessor
Stewart did not favor the reduction,
giving as his reason that he made a
thorough investigation when he made
the assessment and that he thought
1t was fair. He asks the board to
reconsider the matter this afternoon.

gradual decline and fall" as Mr..
Wegg would say in matters financial.
The stage feature of the story is the
leading one and very attractive COM
ponent OF the tale it is. The author
has the knack of bringing to the fore
the gauds and tinsel of stageland so
that the reader feels the reality of it
all. That part of Spearman's story
which deals with Katherine's achieve
ments in the "Afikado" is good read
ing.
Particular exception, however, must
be taken to the lame way in which
the plot is brought to a close. There
seems no artistic excuse for making
the hero an old and broken man before
his time and bringing him to his death
in the last chapter with the heroine
looking on from the arm of his rival.
The impression is gained that Spear
man found his story running away
with him and adopted this as the only
expedient for a hard pressed hero.
Spearman's story bears a striking
resemblance to the Mr.. Salt of VIII
Payne. Since Payne's is a typical story
of high pressure life in great city
and written only little while before
Spearman's it must be taken that both
authors were seeking to answer the
new demand for novels of affairs as
one would hasten to fill orders on May
wheat. But Spearman should stick
by his engine, for his journey aield
has not been the most successful in

turns in the story's roadbed which
would make the head of an engineer

somewhat dry and barren and the end
OF the story leaves you in a tunnel Of
the most depressing gloom. Truly
Spearman had best stick by his old

Instead OF hitting upon a construct
