Paris, Feb. ga correspondent at

riage in a chapel of Notre Dame re-
Gently, the twin brothers Charnteau
marrying the twin sisters Reneaud.
There were two best men, twin broth
ers Pollard, and four maids of honor,
twin sisters Cont and Bar. The
C~harnteaus are artist painters of con-
siderable renown, and the love of the
brothers for one another is the talk
of Paris. When, several years ago,
n had to serve in the army, the other
followed him to his little garrison, and
so great is their similarity that the
civilian brother was several times ar
rested for going about without uni
FORM" He had the hardest time prov
ing that he was not his brother, the
soldier.
The brothers agreed never to marry,
but, of course, this lasted only until
the right kind OF woman came along
a pair of them. When the Charnteaus
were introduced to the twin sisters
Reneaud at a reception, both imme-
diately fell in love with the pretty 49,
year-old girls, who fortunately wore
different colored dresses. If they had
not, the brothers might have been un-
able to distinguish between the girls
of their choice, for the young women
are as much alike as two drops of wa
ter from the same bucket. They prom
Use, even when married, to continue to
wear different colored things. which is
the more important as the two couples
will live in the same house

Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.-The in
terstate commerce commission today
reported, through President Roosevelt,
to the house on the alleged merger of
eastern roads by the Pennsylvania sys-
EN-. Reports show that the Pennsyl-
vania and the two companies it con
trolls hold more than half the preferred
or common stock of the Baltimore and
Ohio and Norfolk and Western, and
one-fourth of the Chesapeake and Ohio
stock. The figures relate to the condi
tons existing last June, when the last
report was made. The report also
states that the published rates of sew,
eral roads have been maintained, and
in some instances advanced, since the
acquisition by the Pennsylvania, also
that there appears less competition be-
tween these lines than formerly. The
commission does not express ali opin-
ion regarding the violations of the in
terstate commerce law.

Good Thing for Sheep.

Messrs. Will Thomas and John Da,
Wis of the stockyards, who have just re-
turned from Denver, where they at
tended one of the most remarkable
gatherings of stock men ever held in
the west,declare their belief in theprob-
ability that the transit law will be so
modified as to permit the hauling of
sheep thirty-five hours instead of the
present regulation of t~wenty-eight
hours between feeding points. sheep
are better for the long ride" they say,
although it is very hard on horses
and cattle. The humane societies,
when they know more of the character
istics of sheep, will not oppose the
thlrty-fve-hour proposition"

Denver, Colo, Feb. 5.-There was
quite a sensational scene in the Grim
inal court this morning when the jury,
after forty hours of elaboration, en-
tered a verdict of acquittal in the CASE
of Helen S%cbmidlap. When the jury
came into court, James w. Hanna, the
foreman, handed a slip of paper to the
court, on which was written: I'VE,
the jury, find the defendant, Helen
Schmidlap, not guilty as charged in
the information" Judge Carpenter
said: Gentlemen, you are discharged
from further consideration of this
case" and Immediately there was a
mad rush of the crowd to get to the
front to grasp the hand of the woman
whom the law had justified in the
killing of her husband. The bailiff
held the crowd at bay and only a few
were able to see her. The d~isappoint-
ed crowd rushed out of the front door,
hoping to see the woman as she would
appear when emerging from the court
house, but they were disappointed.
With the aid of the sheriffs she was
conducted quietly to a place of privacy,
and no reception and no ~congratula-
tons were allowed. The crowd was
keenly disappointed.

The Omaha Bee of Sunday had an
item relative to the formation of a
company for the manufacture of Su-
.perintendent McKeen's motor car, the
retirement of Mr.. McKeen from the
Union Pacific and the possible location
of the proposed plant for the manufac-
ture of the motor cars.
The information that Mr.. McKeen
would retire from the position of super
%intendent of motive power and ma
.chinery of the Union Pacific was first
given to the pubic through the columns
of The Republican, several days ago.
The Bee says:
The Union Pacific, it is admitted,
will have a new superintendent of mo-
tive power n machinery, w. R. Nc
Keen, jr., present incumbent of that
important position n inventor of the
motor a which became a startling
success from the very first and prom
ises so much toward the revolutioniz-
ing of railroad transportation, will be
head of the motor car shops whenever
and wherever they are built. This
much is generally conceded.
When Mr.. McKeen will drop his pres
ent work, who his successor will be;
where the new shops will be located
these are questions yet unsettled so
far as publicly known.
Omaha, as is well known, is making
a systematic effort to ecure the shops.
A committee embracing some of the
most prominent business men of the
city, has been appointed to prevail up
on E. H. Hartman to locate the shops
in this city. The committee has held a
conference or two with General Man
|ager Mohler of the Union Pacific, who
was urged to be a member of the COM
mittee, but declined for discretionary
reasons. Mr.. Mohler was able to in
ground would be required as a site for
the new shops. And so, impressed with
an idea of the immensely of the new en-
terprise, the committee is proceeding
with its mission. 1t is determined that
even thst prerequisite shall not pre-,
vent Omaha from securing this valu,
able acquisition to its Industrial and
commercial prestige.
These shops as Mr.. Mohler has stat.
ed, will not be constructed nor operat-
ed as a Union Pacific affair, but a sep
arate company will be formed for the
purpose, although, in fact, the owner.
ship will be vested in Mr.. Hartman,
controller of the Union Pacific.
Mr.. Hartman became enthusiastic
over the first car Mr.. McKeen produc-
ed and also became Jealous over Mr..
McKeen and he S determined, it is un-
%derstood, that non but Mr.. McKeen
shall have direction of this mammoth
institution. This will be a substantial
tribute and promotion for Mr.. McKeen,
though his scope of authority now ex-
tends over the large Union Pacific
shops in Omaha and all along the sys-
TEN. He came here and succeed Mr..
Higgins when the latter went to Wash.
ington, D. c., to assume a similar po-
sition with the Southern railway. Nc
Keen came from Cheyenne in 1902.
Joe Roberts, head of the Union Pa.
ciic shops at Kansas City, is mention
ed as possibly Mr.. McKeen's success,
sor, though it would not surprise Oma.
