A young lady of st. Louis has

suit for breach Of promise. This
should be warning to the aver
age young man of Sistersvllle to
consider we'll before he enters In
to an agreement, as it may cost
him a similar amount; that IS, OF
course if he is so fortunate, or
unfortunate, to possess assets OF
that magnitude.

Business indications the past
week include few more of the
signs Of relaxation due to tempo
rary causes or those peculiar to
certain interests. In wholesale
transactions for fall delivery
there has been a steady move
ment; but retail and jobbing
transactions for spring and sum
mer goods have been affected by
the rainy weather. Crop condi-
lions are excellent for wheat, but
the wet spring has delayed the
spring seeding for other crops
Wholesale cotton transactions
in the east, after stimulation by
special sales in the previous week,
showed relaxation. Shoe and
leather sales are active and very
strong. Wool is very firm, with
western prices considerably
higher than the east. Railway
earnings hold their liberal in
crease over last year, the final re-
turns for April giving 81 per
cent gain over April, 1904.

Nan Patterson is free at last
Many persons have been hoping
for this termination of the case,
independent of the law and evil
dence, because they are tired of
Nan and the mawkish sentiment
which has been thrown about her.
If the woman is worthy the
sympathy she has received she
will quietly retire from public
gaze.

The Art of Drawn Work.

Perfilado, or drawn needlework, oc-
cupies the same place in Mexico as
lace does in Brussels. The city Of
Matamoros is the center of its pro-
duction, and large quantities Of this
beautiful work are exported to the
United States. Women and girls are
employed in the manufacture, and
some of it is very expensive, for a
year may be required to make single
piece The linen or silk Is placed in a
frame, the threads are drawn out one
way, and with a needle and the finest
spool thread the design is worked.
Perfilado is taught in the public
schools. Among the articles made are
handkerchiefs, tablecloths, bedspreads
and covers for chairs or lounges. The
work is hard and difficult, and the
earnings are on an average less than
q shilling day.

The Northwestern Line.

One of the most interesting SER
les of articles on the subject of the
great railways of the country that
has appeared recently, is that from
the pen of Frank H. Srearman,
recently published in the Saturday
Evening Post, and since printed in
book form by Scribners. The
chapter descriptive of the Chicago
& Northwestern Ry. has been pub
lished by the passenger department
of that line in pamphlet form for
general distribution, and will be
sent to any address on receipt of 2
cents for postage.

Damages Enough.

There had been a railway collision
near a Scottish country town, and an
astute local attorney had hurried to
the scene of disaster. Noticing an old
man with badly damaged head lying
on the ground, he approached him with
notebook in hand. How about dam
ages, my MANI" he began. The in
jured man waved him off with the re-
mark: INA, ma; yell get nae damages

Apropos of knee breeches a CORE
spondent Of the London Express quotes
an anecdote from Captain GrOnOw's
"RecollectiOns" which puts the whole
case in a nutshell. The baillie de fer
rette was always dressed in knee
breeches, with a cooked hat and
court sword. the slender proportions
of which greatly resembled those Of
his legs. DO tell me, my dear bail
lie" said MOntrond one day, "have you
got three legs or three swordsY" Soon
after which, we should imagine, the
baillie went home.

AS TO BINGHAM CON.
A Boston Publication Says A. s. & X,
May Purchase Properties.

A Boston publication says that ex-
perts IN the employ Of the American
Smelling and Refining company have
recently completed an examination Of
the properties Of the Bingham Con-
solidated at Bingham and adds:
The Bingham company's smelter Is
now running largely on custom ores.
The contracts for the treatment of
these ores are with the Boston Con-
solidated, Titan Copper and Cactus
properties, but these contracts expire
March 1, 1906, when they go to the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany, which Is building a new smelter.
This new smelter Is contracted to
be completed April /, but owing to the
usual delays In smelter construction It
Is believed In Salt Lake that It will
surely be July l and possibly later be-
fore this new smelter Is blown In, In
which case these three properties will
be without smelter accommodation af-
ter March |. The Bingham Console
dated Is preparing for the treatment
OF It's own ores upon the expiration OF
these contracts.
This may be a factor to hasten the
purchase of the Bingham smelter by
the American company with the
growth of Utah as IA copper factor the
bingham smelter should be a valuable
asset for the American Smelling and
Refining company"
