good demand today. Now that the talk of con-
solidation issovcr we except to see strong mar

far distant future. Considering what other listed
stocks are selling for. itsol,ght to advance easily

tremendous ore reserves and "a surplus probably
25 per cent greater than Its entire capitalization
The limited number of shares and the cioseness
with which it is held are other things that tend
to give 1t value. - n.

Portland, Ore.-Because of the mum
Der of fatal accidents to trains bearing
the unlucky number 13, orders have
been issued on the Mountain division
of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company which strikes that number
from the train sheet. The tragic death
of Conductor Charles F. Brown at
Kamela in November was the climax.
The last train order signed by Con-
ductor Brown on that fatal trip was
order No. 13 which he received at
Bingham Springs, and which, in the
usual jovial manner, he at first refused
to sign for, telling the dispatcher to
change the number. After few jok-
ing words over the wires with the dis
patcher, Conductor Brown took the or
der. and, in delivering a copy of it to
Engineer Peter Theisen, said in fun:
That's bad one, Pete. Look at the
number and then look out" It was
the last order Brown received, it be-
ing meet order" on train No. / at
Meacham.

VOWS of constancy to her and gone CALL

She saw him, and she claimed he
called a policeman to get her elected
from his Office. This was too much.
From her capacious muff of squirrel fur
she extracted a turnip, which she had
concealed there for reference, and cast
it with all the force OF her arm through
his front window. Then the policeman
arrived and arrested her.
In court she still had the muff and
a set of furs BESIDES She wept as she
mounted the witness stand, and begged
for mercy.
The girls plea for mercy placed the
court in quandary. The judge did not
want to send her to the workhouse. He
could not really let her go free after
breaking the window
With inspiration, he commanded her
to sit upon the prisoners bench, ex-
posed to the cold stare of the assembled
crowd, there to remain for the space Of
half an hour. She bore the ordeal but
i'll, and wept profusely. At the end OF
the half hour the court ordered her re-
leased, admonishing her TO 80 and cast
no more turnips

liceman Keller, who was on post there.
When the man at the window saw the
two policemen coming in his direction,
he leaped out Of the window. carrying

Murphy shouted to the man not to

Don't shoot me, officers; for Gods

himself into the street, but was re-

East Fifty-first street station, where he
said that he is Thomas William, sc years

with alcoholism, and removed to Belle

arrangement was an oil stove to furnish
the heat that was necessary.
About three weeks ago he lit the
stove as usual, and was assisted under
the covering. He said he was all right
and was left alone. He was alone for 80
minutes, and when his attendant came

An odor of burning flesh and a slight
volume of smoke creeping from under

pulled off, and it was discovered that the
oil stove blaZed up and that both of the
cripple's legs were burned to crisp.
For fully 80 minutes Morris had been
sitting in the cabinet without any real
ization of what was taking place under
the cover.
Both his legs from the ankles down
were so badly burned that blood poi
soning resulted, and his death ensued
after two weeks of suffering.

knocked from the table, leaving them in
utter darkness.
Mrs. Corcoran heard the noise, ran
into the parlor where the men were
wrestling and parted them. Thayer
slapped his former sweetheart in the
face and escaped down the stairs.
Until three years ago, when Mrs Cor
coran met the man now her husband, she
had been keeping company with Thayer.
After meeting Corcoran she refused
Thayer's attentions. Two months ago
Thayer attempted to commit suicide by
taking carbolic acid and he was taken to
the county hospital. He was discharged
several weeks ago. The Corcorans live
