Married Abroad.

Cupid has enslaved another
couple and there Is scarcely a
doubt but A. w. Rose, Of this
city, is the gentleman victim.
A dispatch under date Of May 3
appeared in the Oregonian and
gives credence to this belief. Mr..
Rose was known to be in st.
Louis, Mo-, and the dispatch was
sent out from that city. The
following is the dispatch:
William Rose, of Portland,
Or, and Miss Kate Meyers, of St
Louis, were married this after
noon at St. Luke's church. The
marriage is the result OF a chance
meeting at the Worlds Fair last
summer, after a separation of 20
years.
Mr.. Rose and Miss Meyers
lived in Sparta, ILL.,, and were
sweethearts 20 years ago. Mr..
Rose went to Oregon and became
a fruitraiser. A correspondence
was kept up with his Illinois
sweetheart for six years and ther
! they lost all trace of each other.
When they met at the Fail
last summer they renewed their
former attachment, with the re
suit that Mr.. Rose arrived in St
Louis a few days ago. He will
take his bride to his fruit rancl
near Portland in few days.

PRIVATE CAR INQUIRY.
III. NJ. EmmersOn Proves Strong
Witness for the Armour Lines.
lBv the ssociated Press


Washington, Oct 19.-SeVeral traf-
fic managers of Southeastern railroads
testified before the Interstate Com
merce Commission today in the pri-
Vate car injury. concerning the man
ner of handling fruit and perishable
products in their territory. Most eff
them said they have entered into ar
rangements with private car lines by
which the latter engage to take the
responsibility for the handling of the
fruit the railroads acting as agents
only in the matter of transportation
A E. Ellis, an ice manufactures of
Augusta. Ga. st>oclitted a contract
his company had to supply the Ar
mour Car Lines with ice and gave
many details concerning the arrange
ment with the private car line. He
said ice was paid for at $3.50 a ton.
A. G. JACKSON, general freight agent
of the Georgia railroad testified that
his road carried about 400 cars a sea-
son Of peri:hable goods, and had a
contract with the Armour car lines,
which attended TO carrying of fruits
and vegetables They attended to the
refrigeration Of the car, although his
road sometimes provided for the re-
lrigeration merely as an agent.
H. M. Emerson, traffic manager. Of
the Atlantic Coast Line, gave figures
to show that under competition the
refrigeration crate rate on berries
from Carolina points to New York
was GA cents in 1894. and that under
the exclusive contract system the rate
has been reduced annually until it is
now only 81 cents a crate. The W.T.
ness ins.t ed that the shipper deals
directly with the Armour lines and
the raIlrOad in no manner acts as the
agent of the private car line. Mr.,
Emerson said it would have required
from 600 to 1900 refrigerator cars
to have moved the berries originating
ON the Atlantic Coast Line in the sea-
son of 1905. These cars would rep1.
sent an investment Of about two mil
lion dollars and could not have been
used to advantage he said. except
during the berry season.

One day last week there appeared upon
the horizon Of our peaceful city the sugai
beet man who was DESTROYS to secure
laborers to work on the beet farms in Or
leans He began to talk, telling the boys
how easy it was and soon every by in
town was crazy to try his skill at thu
weeds, last Friday morning at six o'clock
there started out load Of eighteen for
the farm. The boys arrived in safety and
began work but soon they became con-
fident that they we're not cut out for the
job and at noon two little fellows took a
tie ticket for home At two o'clock one
more young gentleman made up his mine
that he preferred the city, 50 he liked I,
Orleans and took Pullman for home.
On Saturday morning at $50
there again pulled out of the Silk City a
load Of "a for the beet farm but provid-
ence was against the boys for as the>
got out to the dug out, just east Of town,
the wagon broke down and the lad
bravely trod the remaining miles ano
again began 10 extract weeds from beets.
When the days work was ended and
the boys had their checks in their pockets
they all jumped into acommon wagon box
and started for home. sitting on three
quarter inch board or rather iron as the
box was iron bound. When they arrived
within three and half miles of town, one
of the noble beasts. which was drawing
the iron cushioned vehicle, was taken sud
denly i'll with laziness and the driver or
dered the boys to foot it to town, Their
hearts fell but soon their courage rose
and Selling their dinner pals like Knights
of the Grip and gallant gentlemen march
ed into town and bravely deposited thel
AZ cents in the Savings bank. The boys
say the beets have beat them.

The Wine Cellars Passing.

Wine cellars are said to have gone

down pipes of port for the coming age
of their infant heirs, and no longer
enjoin upon their successors the sa-
cred duty of keeping the family cell
lar replenished 1t is not that people
have lost their taste fer wines, though
fashion has greatly changed in re-
spect of them, and sherry, for exam
pie. is growing as rare as Madeira and
Madeira as obsolete as sack. When
ever a good cellar comes into the mar
ket the competition at auction is as
keen as ever TO secure the best lots,
and 70 cy prices are often reached.
None the less, the day of the private
cellar is practically over. What is
the cause?

The wafer had provided himself with
a pedomoter before starting has work.
According to his calculations, he took
rather under 100000 steps, covering
some thirtyseven miles, between 8
a. m. and 1890 .. m. Working land
walking) four days a week, he cal
culated that he covered more than
1000 miles in a year Which would
seem to show that Swedish walters
take their work very seriously; un-
less, indeed, the pedometer was fast. ="
