|DOLAN, THE GAS MAGNATE. Remarkable Figure In the Philadelphia Municipal
 Lighting Fight. Quick of Action, Pigmy In Stature, but a Giant In
 Business Talents. First and Only President of the United Gas Improvement Company . Masterfm Man, but | Sphinx to the World.
 Very Aristocratic, He Is at
 the Same Time Nest
 Democratic.

For once Philadelphia seems to be
 thoroughly aroused. It Is filled full of the subject of gas.
 It's gas fight Is big one-so big that the whole country is becoming interest
 ed in it; 50 big that residents of the ring ridden city begin to believe that
 Mayor Weaver is not bluf1ing, but is in dead earnest. Public sentiment is be- hind him and strong in the hope that he will succeed in his efforts against leas- ing the city's gas works to the United Gas Improvement company for seven ty-fiye years for 25,Ooo,OO1 The chief figure in opposition is Thomas Dolan. president of the United Gas Improve ment company MT. Dolan is a re- markable character His name Is syn onymous with the United Gas Im- provement company. Mir. Dolan is the company, and the company is Do Ian. The rise and progress and unques- tioned supremacy of the company in it's chosen field is due to the tireless indus try and the executive genius of the mdn. Its modern monster office build ing, facing two of Philadelphia's mo- blest avenues. is not merely the home of bloodless, souliess, intangible cor poration. It Is monument to the in- dividual who conceived and worked out the possibilities of concern which in its profits and possibilities justly ranks with the Standard Oil company.
 That great building, towering toward the clouds Is filled with vice presi- dents. general managers. clerks and at taches of all kinds and degrees. each one of whom thinks he Is the important cog in the great machine. All are mis- VzSen. Dolan is the gigantic wheel that rolls around with unerring precision and force: the others are the. flies whose touch isr unfelt and unnoticed-- creep except on salary days.
 There is often similarity in the methods of men and of corporations. Some work quietly. but with certainty and effectiveness. Others are brilliant, but lack system and staying qualities. The United Gas Improvement company has used every known method to hide it's business light beneath bushel There has been no noise. no demonstra- ton. no bragging. yet it has gone on. tunneling it's way from city to city, un- til the corporation now has monopoly of the lighting of thirty or forty of the important municipalities of the United States. With the long term lease of the gas works as it's most de sirable asset. it has progressed, leasing and purchasing. until it begins to look like an endless chain of gas plants, with ever increasing dividends for the The methods of the cor poration are the methods of it's first and only president.

THE FRONTIER PIG.
lLurid Description Of North Dakota

Lurid Description Of North Dakota
Wet Goods Emporiums.
Lest anyone may not recognize the
place when he reaches it the follow
ing description of a fronhier blind
pig is copied from the Turtle Lake
Wave: .s
"a frontier blind pig is usually a
small shack building, with small
door and a smaller window, the lat
ter being shaded $50 as to admit as
little light as possible. The furniture
consists of poker table i'm a corner,
a few cracker boxes for chairs, and
a rough board counter over which the
bar tender shoyes the liquors and
the customer laps it up. A high board
inolusure sometimes connects with
the back of the shack to screen from
public view some of the effects of over
indulgence. (This last semblance of
decency has not been deemed neces-
sary at Turtle lake, One noticeable
character about joint of this kind is
the Carlo or Rido' that usually haunts
the premises doing the. sloppy work
for his DRINKS and keep.
The owner of the business is
known as the pigger;' in some i'm
stances he stays about town; in Others
he Is serving a ninety days term in
the county jail. The bartender passes
out liquor to a steady stream of Gus
TONER'S; beer that costs twelve celts
a bottle is sold at thirty-f1ve cents, a
profit of twenty three cents, and sold
by the bottle only. Cheap grades OF
whislsey are sold at ten times the
profit amy retail merchant would dare
ask for his Line OF goods.
About every joint you win find the
gambler, the card sharp, the CRATER
and every conceivable evil that brings
money without labor.
"a blind pigger sells liquor and sell
ing liquor DIS unlawful in this state.
He sells it at outrageous prices. He
laughs in his sleeve at the laws which
we all helped to make. 1t is shown
|by statistics that North Dakota has
the best and most solid laws of any
state in the Union. The state offers
$50 reward for every person convicted
of violating the prohibition law

McGahey Observation-Disclosures q. B.
Goss, of the Eighth Judicial district,
at Minpt, declared Governor Sarles'
warrant of requisition for Arthur Nc
Gahey, the alleged leader of Montana
horse thieves, to he defective, and
granted a writ of habeas corpus re
quested by Judge L. J. Palda for the
defendant. McGahey was discharged
by the court. The decision OF the
court was based upon the manner in
which the warrant of requisition was
drawn UP. The warrant charged com
spiracy, but 6ailed to state the nature
of the conspiracy. The warrant fur
ther failed to show the time and
place of the conspiracy and also failed
to show that McGahey was fugitive
from justice. The attorney general
of the state failed to appear at the
hearing and States Attorney. Van P.
Brown, of Williams county, who APP
peared for the state, admitted that
the warrant did not SHOW McGaihey
was a fugitive from Justice. The evi-
dence shows that McGalhey was din NO
way connected with the rustling cases
and further, that he never had any
dealings with Banker w. H. Denny,
Eof Williston. The original complaint
in the case was not dntroduced at the
hearing and the defendants attorney
showed that the original Instrument
was kept out of tine hearing because
of its incomple teness. Inspector G..
w. Hall, of the Montana Cattle assocd-
atioD, was much ddsappo inted, and
stated that he would make am at
tempt to get Banker Denny into Mon

FREE TRADE WILL
 BE THE MAIN ISSUE

London, December 19.-Herbert Henry Asquith chancellor of the excheauer' the first member of the new government to appear on a public platform since the ministry was formed, addressed a mass meeting at the Queens hall tonight, He said he did not desire to forestall what the premier, Sir Henry Campbell-Ban- herman would say at Albert hall Thurs day night next, and therefore could not be considered as outlining the platform of the liberals. However he could speak authoritatively in announcing that the main issue of the campaign would De free trade against protection.
 With regard to home rule for Ireland, MT Asquith said liberals In the next parliament would be as absolutely op- posed as he was himself to advancing along any path leading to separation and would resolutely maintain the para mount authority of the imperial parlia- ment. He believed the government would liberalize the administration ofGIreland, but in doing so no one could accuse its members of being enemies of the unity of the nation.

HEAVILY LOADED TRAINS
 CRASH ON THE ELEVATED

New York. December 1s.-In one of the most extraordinary accidents known to American railroadlng, two heavily crowd ed passenger trains came together on the elevated tracks of the New York Central and Hudson River railroad tonight near Eleventh street and Harlem. One man. J. w. Knapp of New Rochelle, was killed. and forty persons were more or less seri- ousy injured.
 Both of the collidnG trains were east bound and had left the Grand Central sta ton at Forty-second street within few minutes of each other. One was Stam- ford local on the New York. New Haven and Hartford railroad. which company uses the New York Central tracks The other train was the Poughkeepsle ex- press on the Central. Rushing along on parallel tracks the two trains suddenly came together. The local was switched from the third track on to the fourth. and in an instant the engine of the express had crashed into the day coach following the smoking car of the local.
 The tracks at the point of the collision are about thirty feet in the air. This made the work of rescue difficult, and lent materially to the terror of the passengers.

Washington, Dec. 19-By a vote Of ' to the House committee on ways and means reported favorably on the Payne bill admitting all Philippine products into the United States free, excepting sugar and tobacco which are to pay 70 per cent of the Dingley rates until lsO9, when they are also to go on the Tree list.
 Two amendments were made to the measure originally introduced In the House by MT. Payne. At the suggestion of Representative Hill of Connecticut provision was added that all American sugar and tobacco are to be admitted into the Philippines free of duty and A new section was added which provides that no Philippine products now in ware houses in the United States shall be exempted from duties under the pro posed measure.
 The vote on reporting the bill was;
 Ayes-Payne of New York, Dalzell of Pennsylvania; McCleary of Minnesota; Fil of Connecticut, Boutelle of Illinois, Curtis of Kansas, Needham of Califor- mia.
 Nays-Babcock of Wisconsin Nm. AL den Smith of Michigan. Williams of Mis- sissippi. Robertson of Louisiana and Clark of Missouri.
 The other members of the committee were absent. Many other changes in the measure were suggested. One of- fered by MT. Babcock was that the tariff on sugar and tobacco be reduced
