 don Society.

 Before this change was instituted society dined from eight to nine. The new dinner hour, which is a return to earlier manners, is welcomed by verybody. It will benefit the thea ters, which have lost many patrons through the late dinner hour, and it will also send more persons to the restaurants for supper.
 Persons who dined at eight o'clock were not always inclined for supper afterward, and could not reach the theater before the middle of the per formance.

Thinks Cows Are Cursed.

Shamokin, Pa.-Having lost a large number of cattle during the last year, and believing a neighbor thought by some of the superstitious to be a witch was causing him bad luck. Joseph Gottshalk. a prosperous Mahanoy val icy farmer, has signed contract with a woman in this city to give him pro- lection for one year. The woman is alleged to possess the powers of witch craft. Gottshalk will pay her reg ular salary for her protection. In 12 months he has lost, through sickness and accident, many cows, horses and pigs, although his barn was a model of sanitation. Since Gottshalk first called on this woman protector the illness in his stock has ceased, and he is enthusiastic over the venture.

COFFEE TRUST IN BRAZIL.
Price of South American Product to
 Be Increased.

New York.-The financing of Bra zirs coffee valorization plan has been arranged. Bankers and merchants, internationally known and all identi- fled with the coffe trade. will advance the money needed-about $20,000. 900. The bankers and merchants are To- cated in New York, London, Havre and Hamburg.
 The object of the coffee valorization plan is to maintain coffee at a re- munerative price to the grower by establishing a minimum quotation at which il is to be upheld by purchases of coffee on account of the three states of Brazil-Sao Paulo, Rio and Minas. Interest on the loans made is guaranteed and paid by tax on every bag of coffee shipped
 The three contracting states bind themselves to maintain in the native markets a minimum price of S2 to S5 milreis per bag of 60 kilos for the first year. This price is to be gradually raised after the first year to a maxi mum of 10 milreis.
 The contracting states bind them selves to restrict or discourage by dis eliminating taxation the exportation of coffee of inferior grades and they further bind themselves to pass laws preventing the extension of coffee acre age for two years after Jan. 1, 1907.

 The dedicating of the child, they said, was merely the expression of 8 desire which all true mothers and fathers must feel in regard to their children. The idea came to Creel be- cause of his many years connection with labor organizations and publi- cations

 Estate and Second Nothing.

Wichita, Kan.-Federal Judge Pol lock has rendered a decision in an unusual case that came up from Comanche county. It was the result of a bigamous marriage by James Mo Laughlin.

Upon his death the second wife, who says she knew noth- ing of his previous marriage, applied for a pension. and this led to the dis covery of wife No. l.
 The court decided that the Penn sylvania wife was entitled to half the estate and that McLaughlin's children by his second wife were entitled to the other half, while the second wife was entitled to nothing, though it was largely through her efforts that the property was accumulated.

Finds Horns of Irish Elk.

Dublin.-While cutting turf on 8 bog in County Limerick, a laborer came on the horns of an Irish elk, and. carefully digging, exhumed the head and antlers of 8 magnificent speci- men of this great deer, where it had lain for centuries, preserved by the peat. The horns measure from tip to tip eight feet two inches. It is in wonderful state of preservation, con- sidering the period of time which had elapsed since these animals existed, as no authentic time or satisfactory theory is forthcoming when they lived or what caused their extinction. Ire land was. undoubtedly, its home.

GOODLAHD IS OBJECTIVE POINT
DODGE CITY LINE IS LOOMING
UP WITH CERTAINTY.
Confidently Expected That North and
South Railroad VIII Connect
With Southwest Line.

An article in the Russell Springs
paper says that the Rock Island sur

Dodge City and Scott City, and track

That town before the end OF the year
1t IS generally understood that the
road VIII be built from Scott City to
GOOdland. va Russell Springs
II the line spoken Of in the above
paragraph is extended TO GOOdland
II viii give the Rock Island counec-
tons with their stub from BuCklin to
Dodge City, through which former town
runs the southwest line OF the Rock
Island To make the matter palmer
to the average reader, il should be
stated that trunk line Of the Rock
Island courses Kansas southwest
leaving the state at Liberal, in Seward
county This line runs through Buck
lin, and from Bucklin the company
has stub line, running northwest to
Dodge City in Ford county. An air
line northwest from Dodge City would
touch Scott City, in Scott county, Rus
sell Springs in Logan county, and end
by piercing the Rock Island trunk
line running through GOOdland. This
new road would run through a fine
stretch Of territory that is fast com
ing into agricultural fame, and would
De great feeder to either the south
west or the east and west trunk line.
It would cross the tracks Of the Santa
Fe in the south part Of the state and
the Union Pacific in the north, but
would not endanger the traffic on
these two other roads
1t viii be remembered that reports
have been current in GOOdland that
surveyors have been looking over the
country southeast from here. and il
was then mentioned that the Rock Is
land was planning to connect with
their Dodge City branch
A B Montgomery, while he is not
a railroad official, sometimes finds
out things from an inner circle, and
ne has cOntended for a long time that
the Rock Island intends to construct
this very branch Of track He is re-
ported to have gotten his information
from n A Low of Topeka, who is
or was at least one Of the board Of
directors Of the Rock Island.
So, il is not too much TO presume,
judging from the actions OF the Rock
Island in the southeast, and from the
prOhtableneSS such venture
would prove to be, that GOodland is
destined to get practically a north
and south railroad.
And yet we haven't said anything
about the Central Branch extension Of
the Missouri Pacific.

ENTER A PLEA OF NOT GUILTY.
Meyer and Associates Separated in
Spite OF Protest.

spite OF HEOLeSL.
Boise, Ida, March 2O.-CharIes ".
Meyer, William D. Haywood and G.
A PettibOne, charged with the muir
enberg, today pleaded not guilty when
arraigned before District Judge Frank
Smith at Caldwell The cases were
continued over the term and the date
of their trial was indefinitely fixed
at about May Is.
After the three prisoners had been
arTaigned another application to ad-
NIT them to bail was made and was
promptly denied Judge Smith then
Jail was an unfit and unsafe place for
the detention Of these prisoners. He
issued an order for the removal of
Meyer to the county jail at Boise and
it was stated that he will send Hay
wood to the county Jail at Weiser.
PettibOne will remain in the jail at
Caldwell.
Attorneys for the defense objected
to the order Of removal, maintaining
that the county jail at Caldwell was
satisfactory. Counsel for the defense
have steadily opposed all plans to
separate Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone, and it was to keep these officers
Of the Western Federation Of Miners
in close association that they had
them confined in the little jail at
Caldwell. It has been claimed that
the detectives wanted to separate the
prisoners their object being to work
upon them individually in the hope Of
securing admissions that could be
used to advantage by the prosecution
President Meyer was brought to
Boise this afternoon and placed in a
cell in the county jail, far removed
from other prisoners
