Rare Woods for Cars.

In one of the large rooms at the
car shops OF the Pullman company
at Pullman. Ill.,, may be found
thin slabs of wood which are
valued at their weight in silver and
approach gold leaf in cost. They
compose the materials the crafts
men use to decorate sleeping cars.
No forest is too far distant for
agents of the carmakers to visit.
They search everywhere for rare
woods, and they find many of
them. South America has been
ransacked, China has been de-
spoiled of her finest sticks of tim
Der. and even old England has
given her choice forest treasures
to make artistic cars for the
American public,
A few weeks ago the heads of
the Pullman company and the
artist-craftsmen were made happy
by the announcement that a large
quantity of old English oak had
been secured. The great trees of
England are guarded and watched
over with patriotic zeal. and it is
seldom that fine piece of wood
can be secured there for decorative
purposes.
After long delay, as it seemed
to the men who examine rare
wood as diamond merchant
pores over jewels, the timber ar
rived. With it came a story. The
veneer had been made from trees
that grew in extensive grounds
about Rockingham castle, one of
the Oldest estates in Northampton
shire.
The former owner of these
grounds died without male issue,
and the property went to a dis
tant relative of the Watson family,
who happened to be a devout
minister. He never had accu-
mulated money or properly, and
suddenly found himself in posses

sion of vast estate with no funds
to keep it up and no income from
the parks.
Family pride would not permit
him to sell the castle to American
and Australian millionaries, who
were IN the market for just such a
place, and what business instinct
he had told him not to mortgage
his property. Just at that time
the American wood buyer came
along and wanted some of the
ancient trees that stood by the
score in the castle grounds.
The minister at first spurned the
offer for his great trees. He said
it would be like selling some of
his own relatives. After a while,
however. he changed his mind.
His affairs were getting into such
shape that money became neces-
sity.
Then he sent tor the travelling
woodsman and made a deal.
Twenty-seven of the forest giants
were purchased, the price being
$4,000. When the trees were to
be cut down it was necessary to
send to city in another part of
the island to get men to do the
work. Workmen in the vicinity
refused to have a hand in the job.
The great trees finally were
felled. trimmed and shipped to
New York. There they were made
into veneer. In this operation
numerous relics of English history
were found. 1t was found impos-
sible to estimate the age of the
trees by the rings Of growth be-
cause they had stood for almost
1,5OO years.
Imbedded in the great trunks
were found slugs and pieces of
arrow points, recalling the days of
England's great crossbow soldiers.
In one trunk were found gate
hooks that were placed there at
least thousand years ago. These
trophies were collected and given
to purchasers of Pullman cars by
Richmond Dean, general manager
of the company.

Opera House Assured.

With the opening of spring the
l. o. o. F. lodge of this place will
commence the erection OF a hall
and opera house 40xS5 feet in
size and modern in every particu-
lar. The upper story will be cut
into a lodge hall, banquet hall
and kitchen, all finished in fine
shape. The lower story is to be
made into first-class opera house
and auditorium. The whole will
be furnace heated and electric
lighted, as nearly fire proof as
possible and an ornament to the
town. Contracts will be let for
the burning of the brick at the
earliest possible moment and the
work of construction rushed. The
building will stand on the ground
recently purchased by them on
the corner of Second street and
Poplar avenue. The Odd Eel

we may reasonably expect that a
fine structure will soon be added
to the others now on this town

Republican speaks so admiringly

1t would seem to US wise to
take heed of the past as it applies
to the present and future.
Populist persistency forced the
hand of the democratic and re-
publican parties and made them
reform their lines to a great ex-
tent for the benefit of the people.
Would it not be far better to in
augurate these real needed re-
forms before the Socialists make
US do SO by threatening, if not de-
stroying, our present supremacy? !?
The above thoughts are sug-
gested to a party leadership that
for many years past has been
listening to the siren song of cor
porations that have fattened to
the danger point on the sufferings
of the producing class.
If the Democracy is wise they
will do something to head off
socialism. The republican party
could not do it if they would.

One thing seems clcar-the
people over there are more fully
aroused to the necessity of a
wider distribution of the products
of toll. They have evidenced
their faith in Socialism as a
remedy by electing a socialist
President in France and an in
creased number of representatives
in the House of Commons in
England. This paper has several
times said that indications were
that we must meet this socialistic
theory with something in the way
of relief for the people from the
wrongs they now bear, or prepare
to receive socialism as an actual
fact. In other words we must
give the people reliet or they
will espouse any ism that prom
ises change.
We think we see some good
things in the socialistic doctrine,
just as we did in populism. We
should hate to go the whole
length at one jump, but we would
be willing to try public owner

of TIE list are municipal monopo-

STARTLING RESULTS.

Last week there occurred an
election in France. In that
country their President is elected
by the body that compares to our
congress. known as the chamber
of deputies. In this election, par
ticipated in by over 800 represent
atives, M. Fallieres. a pronounced
socialist, was elected to the au-
gust position OF President of
Europe's greatest republic.
This is not the only surpris e
that has been brought about by
European elections. Englan d
has practically upset her govern
ment. electing huge majority of
radicals, and permitting social
istic gains of over twenty seats.
The results will point the close
observer of political events to the
very pronounced advance of this
socialistic doctrine. which to day
permeatcs to a greater or less de-
gree. all civilized countries. 1t is
an idea in government that de-
serves much study and the time
is short in which the people may
give it that comprehensive ex-
animation that it should receive
before it takes possession OF us.
In this connection we observe
that the Denver Republican, with
its usual inconsistency. comments
glowingly on the result. much as
the small boy admiringly relates
to his companions how unmerci-
fully he has been licked by the
teacher. We append paragraph
for comparison with their usual
utteranccs on topics of this sort:
There is encouragement for
republican institutions in the
election of M. Fallieres to the
presidency of France. His grand
father was a blacksmith. his
father a magistrates clerk. For
hundreds of years his people have
been residents of Mezin, leading
simple lives and never once lift
ing their eyes to places of high
station. He is distinctly a man
of the plain people. and his cleo
ton gives strength to the impulse
which in recent years has been
driving France away from every
thing suggestive of aristocracy
and the old regime"
Few of the Republicans readers
have observed any intense ap-
proval on their part of anything
approaching this result in this
country. A step in the direction
of municipal ownership, for in
stance has been the signal for
wall from that paper that could
be heard clear across the state.
And yet, Municipal ownership of
public utilities is most pro-
nounced tenet of socialism. The
Republican earnestly desires to be
regarded as very philosophical in
its editorial utterances and at the
close of its congratulations on the
success of the French socialists
says:
ut means that France is be-
coming truly republican in spirit,
and it is the spirit of the people

TOPEKA, Kas., Dec. 27-In an inter-
view here today William j. Bryan
practically admitted that he would be
a candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation before the next Democratic ma
tional convention.
"While have not yet announced that
I would be a candidate" said Mr.. Bry-
an, II have not stated that l would
not be a candidate, and do not intend
to. Such a high honor as the presi-
Dental nomination is something that
no American citizen should decline"
Mr.. Bryan declared that he had
never stated that President Roosevelt
had stolen the thunder of the Demo-
Gratis, although, he said, the president
was now advocating many things
favored by that party.
Mr.. Bryan declared there was no
foundation for the story that had been
printed to the effect that he would, if
nominated, favor the selection of Sena-
tor William Stone of Missouri as chair
man of the Democratic national COM
mittee.
II have never told anyone anything
about the organization of the national
committee" he said. Il do not even
know that I will be interested in it fur
ther than that l do not want to see
men on the committee who are not
good, clean men, who want govern
ment for the people and not for the
trusts. l do not care to see men on
the committee like Roger Sullivan of
Illinois,"
In speaking of the railroad legislation
enacted by congress at it's last session,
he stated that he did not believe the
legislation was what it should be, but
he thinks that the president took what
he could get.
He said the giving of railroad passes
was one of the most corrupting in
| fluences exercised in this country.

night.

Colo, says:
Lawrence Iceberg was lynched here
tonight for the murder of Henry
Lavenmyer a ranchman, by a mob of
masked men. About forty men en-
tered the Jail shortly before 8 o'clock
and easily overpowered the sheriff, un-
dersheriff and two other officers and
locked them securely in a room of the
building.
The men then went to the cell occu-
pied by Iceberg, struck the shackles
from his limbs and took him from the
Jail. A larger body of men and boys
was waiting outside the walls and
when the prisoner and his captors ap-
peared they formed a procession a
short distance from the Jail and
hanged Iceberg to telegraph pole,
The self-confessed murderer made
no resistance and made no statement.
The mob offered no violence and no
shots were fired during the entire af-
fair.
Before the mob reached the Jail Le-
berg heard them coming. He arose
from his cot, dressed himself coolly
and awaited the coming of the aven-
gers of Lavenmyer's death.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Acting on an
anonymous letter, agents of the Chill
dren's society today found a 5-year-old
boy named Edward Pullman half
starved and wrapped in rags on the
top floor of a tenement house in West
Twenty eighth street.
The child's mother, WHO called her
self Lillian Pullman, was taken to the
childrens court, where she declared
that the boy was heir to a trust fund
of $50,O00.
She said she had been married to
George H. Pullman, who, she declared,
was a son of the palace car man, and
that they had lived in Baltimore be-
fore coming to New York. Before the
birth of the boy Pullman, she said, ar
ranged a trust fund for him of $50,000
which he was to have on reaching II
years. Later she obtained a divorce
from Pullman.
The mother was released but the boy
was held for further investigation.

society at that time, and Lillian Mason
alleged that he married her in 1898.
Subsequently, however, he successfully
opposed this claim in the courts. Mean
time the woman was dismissed from the
Red Cross service and was sent back to
this country from Cuba by Gen. Fitz-

DERAYLAN CLERKED IN

MYSTERIOUS RUSSIAN WOMAN
REMEMBERED BY ATTORNEYS
Girl Who Posed as Man Formerly En-
ployed Under Name of LangeI as
Law Clerk by Prominent Attorney
in Eastern City
By Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Hiram o.
Hance, a lawyer of 229 Broadway, is
convinced that Nicolai Deraylan, the
Chicago woman who posed as a man,
was employed in the offices of the late
Colonel T. G. Campbell in this city ten
years ago.
The young "man" secured employ
ment as a stenographer under the
name of Langel and because of his
general appearance and effiminacy
there was a disposition to twit Langel,
but this disappeared when a woman
came to the office and was introduced
as Langels wife.
Langel was very efficient and there
was regret when illness forced him"
to give up work.
Mr.. Nance said he had studied the
recently published photographs of De-
raglan and was impressed with the
resemblance to the features of Langel.
Mr.. Hance regards as confirmatory
of the conclusion that Langel and De-
raglan are one and the same that De-
raglan died of tuberculosis, a disease
with which Langel was Enthusiastically
affected
