announcement of great historical
series, to begin in November, Carl
SchurZ's "Reminiscences of Long

tigation of the Railroad Problem, of
which publication will begin before
Congress meets.
What is the true Notwithstanding
adventure story the adventure of

not of visible perils? Perhaps there is

of that Supremely daring brigand of
"frenzied finance" F. Augustus Heinze,
the Montana opponent of STANDARD
Oil" No duelists ever had more at
stake than Heinze and Mr.. Lawson in
their memorable war of millions, waged
in single night, when both men risked
everything-and Lawson won.
