Train service the past week
has not been of the very best ow-
ing to the heavy fall of snow.
The passenger train that passed
thru here Wednesday evening of
last week did not make the trip
down until Saturday evening.
The snow pillow which went ahead
of the passenger to clear the
track was stuck in q snow drift
just north of Shafon and was un-
able to get out until one of Jim
Hills big snow plows came up
Saturday. The passenger came
up the line again Sunday evening
arriving here about Z o'clock and
did not make the trip down un-
til yesterday afternoon two
passenger trains a week.
Freight trains have been making
trips as far as Hope and Finley.

In order to stop gossip an Iowa
farmer advertised his divorce
and remarriage in a newspaper
at regular rates. The divorce
was a quiet affair and both part
les felt resigned. The woman
took the son and a few sofa pill
lows and went to live with her
ex-husband's father. The man
then married Lois T. Smith and
supper was ready that evening
as usual, with the new wife at
the tea kettle. These rapid

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The. bull

There was no news 10 account for
the rapid rise In st. Paul, other than
the rumor heard everywhere during the
last few days of the buying of the
stock for, the. Southern Pacific by the
Hartman interest The buying OF the
stock was ascribed to the belief that
the stock was to be placed, on a 6. per

combined to make the week one of the
most memorable in the recent history
OF Wall street. The Hartman affair"
was still the most fruitful topic of dis

unsparingly with .the perpetrators of
the now famous coup The volume of
business for the week, the first day

was in itself an extraordinary. feature.
On huge transactions the Pacifics

opinions differed as to the amount of
stock marketed by the insiders, but
the irregular course of both Union Pa
