FIRST LINE IN WISCONSIN.
Even Then He Organized a Road That
Was Unique of Promotion.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. o.
A. B. Stickney, president of the Chi
cago Western railroad, used to be SUI
perintendent of schools in Saltwater.
Mimi, wheH I lived across the river
on the Wisconsin side,' remarked
Horace A. Taylor, assistant secretary
of the treasury, this morning. That
was about the close of the war.
have known him we'll ever since He
was always original, forceful and ag-
gressive, even when a school superin-
tendent.
"One of his first railroad enterprises
was in building from Saltwater to ST.
in building a short line on the Wiscon-
sin side from Hudson to River Falls,
which was one of the few railroads
ever heard of, where the investors put
up the actual money, dollar for dollar,
of what the railroad actually cost A
number of us, of whom he was the
moving spirit, gathered up the neces-
sary funds and paid for the construc-
ton. Then each man received one
dollar in bonds and one dollar in stock
for every dollar he had invested. In a
short time-I do not believe it was
more than a year-we sold out to an
other railroad at the par value of our
stock and bonds, each man doubling
his money.
After that Stckney branched out,
and finally acquired and constructed
the Great Western He has always
been full of ideas Of his own, and has
never harmonized fully with his rail-
road associates
Mr.. Stickneys road bears the marks
of his peculiar ideas. 1t has practi-
cally no mortgage. He cannot be
CLOSED out" under the pressure of ri
walls. The Chicago Great Western has
four classes of stock, the first of which
is debenture stock, then comes pre-
ferred "A. ana preferred B. and
common" He has paid dividends on
the first two. Mr.. Stickney has held
his own against extraordinary pressure
among the railroad interests of his
section, and in spite Of fierce resist
ance has built up a valuable prop
erty. Secretary Gage once remarked
that Stickney's address before the
American Bankers association several
years ago, was one of the most illu-
minating discussions upon the subject
of finance that he had ever heard.
Stickney's position in the railroad de-
bate now in progress is peculiarly
original.

He should go out to Chicago and

if Jeff would let him use an ak, and
would consent to have his own hands

sARoN's HEIR BECOMES SOLDIER.
Eldest Son of Irish Land Owner, Lost
In Gotham, Found a Trooper.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Arthur Regi-
maid French eldest son and heir to the
title and estates of Baron de F'reyne,
a large land owner in County ROscOm-
mon, Ireland, arrived here on the Gu
nard steamer Umbria on Jan. 16, went

days later disappeared.

lice were notified, general alarm sent
out, a private detective agency en-
gagged the newspapers told and all the
machinery of a thorough search for

C0RBETT IN FINE SHAPE
DENVER FIGHTER FIT AS A FID-
DIE FOR FIGHT WITH
"BATTLING" NELSON.
Sporting Writers Not Yet Convinced
That Gotch Is a Great
Fighter.

Spider Kelly visited Young Corbett
at San Rafael the other day and
watched MIN work an hour. The king
of seconds made no secret of his sur
prise in finding the Denverite in the
condition he did. Il never thought /
would see Corbett in any such condi-
tion,' said Kelly yesterday. "I had
heard that he had been working good,
but I did not expect to find him look
ing like he did. 1 want to tell you
that he is in superb shape. Now, this
is not not air or glad hand or what
you might call it. 1t is the truth. l
have seen Corbett, and l want to go
on record as saying that he was never
in better condition in his life that he
is right now. Corbett has trained as
faithfully as any fighter ever did, and
the results show it. Then getting Cans
on to box with him was a master
stroke. He has helped him lot. Do
I think Corbett will win? 1 certainly
do. I know that but few fighters re-
gain their old form after being beaten
once, but here is one that will. Cor
bett is worth a bet of any mans
money!
Before Kelly left camp Corbett asked
him to be in his corner on the night
of th. battle with Nelson! and he ac-
cepted the honor.

Robertson VS.. BIankenship.

Joe Robertson the colored middle
weight will make an effort to stop Ed
Blackenship the heavyweight in six
rounds at the Walla Walla Athletic
club Friday night. Blackenship found
an easy mark in Jolly" Rogers the
other night and is confident that Rob-
erson cannot stop him in six rounds.
While not very we'll versed in the
fighting game as far as science goes
Biackenship is a husky big fellow ca
papbel of delivering a punch and re-
ceiving one. This latter qualification
will stand him in good stead when he
faces Robertson as the colored lad has
demonstrated on a few occasions that
he has the sleep producing wallop.
The bout will be pulled off in the GYM
nasium of the club rooms.

sive ceremonies accompanied the pres

the speakers including several sena-

to the French ambassador.
The bust, which is of bronze mounted
on a beautiful marble pedestal, is
replica of the original bust made by

out France. The list of subscribers
was headed with the names of the de-
scenjants of the French officers VINO
fought in the American revolution,
among them being the Comte de Ro-
cnambeau. the Marquis de Lafayette

Your request for reference about
'TRIB" received and will give you the
words of praise only that your treat
ment deserves, and that is much. My
son was a hard drinker and tobacco
user for 20 years and has taken many
advertised cures for both liquor and
tobacco, but never stayed with it long
er than one month at any time until 1
got "TRIB' for him. He took '"TRIB"
about 10 months ago and has not used
either since the fourth day ne COM
menced to take your treatment. He
has gained 20 pounds and is home with

''TRIB'' is all you claim for it.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-"Forty- five per
cent of the deaths of American SOL

noon on the liquor traffic in the Phil

Woman's Christian Temperance union
of Cook county at the Oakland Meth

There were no saloons, strictly
speaking, in the Philippines prior to
the advent of the American soldiers"
he said. 'Since the American inva-

tablished and all are enjoying a pros

DECORATION DAY

Forty years have passed since the
last soldiers who met their death In
the Civil War were carried to their
last resting place. Although their
swords are rusty and their bones have
given back the dust from which they
were created, yet their memory Is
green in the hearts Of their country
men and fresh in the minds OF their
comrades around the camp fires and
on the firing line.
Year by year the ranks of the sur
Svivors are being Trimmed out and as
each Decoration Day rolls around
there are more graves to decorate with
flowers. But this is as it must be in
the natural course of human events,
and Just as long as there is one man
left who went TO the war in that
fratrioidal strife, just so long will he
go to the grave of his dead comrades
on Decoration Day and place there a
bunch of flowers and tiny flag.
1t is becoming more and more COM
mon in some of the larger cities OF
the South for Confederate veterans to
Join with the Grand Army camps in
their professions on May 30 and for
members of the Grand Army to aid in
the decoration of Confederate grave on
their memorial days. This is as It
should be. The time has now come
when "all bitterness and wrath and
anger and clamor and evil-speaking
should be put away from as. with all
malice. There is not more lifting
emblem of peace and good will than
the flowers and blossoms which deco
rate our entire land at this beautiful
season, and they will be plentifully
scattered today over the narrow beds
of those soldiers who fought their last
battle long ago, whose warfare is over
and who are sleeping the sleep that
knows no waking. So let us have
clears and love for the Blue
And love and tears for the Gray.
