Looks as Though He Was Working
With ST. Paul.
EARL|NG ELECTED DIRECTOR OF U. ?
RAILWAY WAR IN NORTHWEST is
BECOMING MORE cOMPLICAT
ED EACH DAY.

A. j. Earrings election to the direc-
torate of the Union Pacific, announce
ment Of which was made in an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from New York,
dated April II, has entirely upset the
calculations of shrewd railroad men
on the Pacific coast, who have endeav-
ments in the Hill Hartman war in the
northwest.
Hill friendship for the st. Paul rail-
road, of which Mr.. Earring is presi-
dent, had led close observers to be-
lieve that an understanding of g
friendly nature existed between the
Hill interests and those of the ST
Paul. Well posted railroad men now
believe that Hartman has forced
something in the nature of a "nev
DEAL in the northwest by the election
of Mr. Earling to place on the Union
Pacific directorate.
Standard Oil Controls.
Standard Oil interests are in prac-
teal control of the ST. Paul. Every
financial authority and every we'll in
formed railroad magnate in the coun-
try knows this to be the fact. 1t is
equally certain that Rockefeller is
strongly allied with Hartman in the
Union Pacific. Hartman backing in
cludes James Stillman, president OF
the National City bank, of New York
the direct representative of the Stand
ard Oil party; Marvin Hugitt, repre-
senting the Vanderbilts, and Jacob
Schiff, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., said tC
be the strongest private banking house
in the United States
The election Of Mr.. Earring to a
position in Mr.. Harriman's close Of
fetal family, is taken as an indication
OF public announcement by Mr.. Har-
riman of the Standard Oil tie that
binds his railroad and the st. Paul
together 1t is held to be certain by
well posted railroad and financial
men that the election of Earring to the
directorate of the Union Pacific was
done at Mr.. Harriman's initiative and
possibly to dispel the belief that the

PACE THAT KILLS.
Edwin Thacker, Whose Wife Made
Trip to Minneapolis, Is Missing.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 13.-Edwin L.
Thacker, whose wife, Pauline Elliott,
the actress, made spectacular auto
mobile trip from here to Minneapolis
last summer, accompanied only by
her husbands chauffeur and Mona Cliff
ford, another actress and wife, of a
vaudeville star, has decamped with
his bride, and it is said that he is a
defaulter to the extent of $4,000. Since
his disappearance it has been discov-
cred that Thacker, who posed as the
scion of a wealthy Kentucky family,
and who kept pace with Chicago's
smartest millionaires in his life Of
gaiety and revelry, was merely a
bookkeeper in the employ Of the Ger
man-American Provision company,
and his salary was $3.50 week.
Her $4,000 Auto Trip.
Mrs Thacker's automobile trip to
Minneapolis is said to have cost $4,000.
She is said to have lavished money in
entertaining her Minneapolis friends,
was squandered like water in provid-
ing refreshments and other means of
| ,f,,.t i'm, o1 no n no
amazement of the inhabitants of small
Ter towns between here and MinneapO-
lis.
Diamonds, eXtravagant fancfes, au-
tomobile trips and fondness for ac-
tresses are responsible for the down.
fall of Thacker.
The announcement today that
Thacker had disappeared and that his
departure was mourned by a host of
firms, banks and friends who held his
worthless paper, came as a surprise
to those who had imagined him to be
wealthy.
Lived Like a Prince.
Although the recipient of a clerks
small salary. he lived like a prince,
rode in a $4,000 automobile with a
chauffeur, bought diamonds for his
wife to the value of $4,000, entertain
ed friends in grand style at his beau
tiful apartments in the Thymbria,
nd tn hic HON
companions he was known as a high
liver with oceans of money to spend.
1t is claimed that manipulation of
the checks of Thacker's firm which
passed through his hands explains the
source of his income. A West Side
banker claims that he was mulcted to
the amount of $4,000, and scores of
tradesmen hold checks with the
Thacker imprint thereon, in greater or
less amounts.
Married a ShowgirI.
Thacker was married to Pauline Ell
lott a year ago. She was one of the
original showgir1s in "The Belle of
New York" was here in the chorus of
the Royal Chef" and in a skit at the
Chicago opera house. She is an auto
mobile enthusiast and to satisfy her
cravings for that sport Thacker bought
her a motor car at a cost of $4,000
and employed a chauffeur at S25 a

The Hartman Object.

The Hartman object is, supposedly,
to force a settlement, one feature of
which may be the re-purchase by Har-
riman of the old Union Pacific grade
at moderate price.
Hartman will be able to cross the
Columbia on the new Northern Pacific
bridge at Vancouver, Wash. The act
of congress authorizing the bridging of
the Columbia there provides that any
other railroad may use the bridge upon
paying it's proportion of the cost. In
the event of dispute, the matter must
be referred to the secretary Of war for
arbitration.
Both Contractors Well Known.
H S Suston was formerly principal
assistant engineer of the Northern Pa
cific He supervised the building of the
Northern Pacific through the Cascades.
He resigned from the railway service
in 1898 and was elected mayor of Ia
coma. In that year he was engaged by
Chief Engineer Weeks, of the Burling-
ton, railroad to take charge of that
railroads proposed extension from
Billings to Tacoma.

TO COMPETE WITH NORTHERN PACIFIC

FROM COLUMBIA RIVER TO
CITY OF DESTINY.

Hartman officials at Portland have
directed H. S. Huson and Arvid Ryd-
storm to Immediately assemble teams
and other equipment and commence
grading of the Hartman railroad ex-
tension from the Columbia river north
to Tacoma.
Mr.. Huson is now in Oregon securing
six carloads of horses. Mr.. Rydstrom
is in Portland securing other equip
ment
1t is understood that the extension
from Portland to Tacoma, under the
name of the Washington & Northern
railroad, will be built under the aus
pieces of the Southern Pacific railroad
rather than the Union Pacific or O. r.
& N. This is why real estate pur-
chases in Tacoma and Seattle have
been directed from San Francisco
rather than from Omaha. This is also
why the engineering work is in charge
of William Hool chief engineer of the
Southern Pacific, says a Tacoma re-
port.

The Church has various gifts and offices; certain principles by which to proceed in all its works; and it's pe- culiar methodsof administration con- sistent with the object of all it's en. deavors. It is the living organism of the body of Christ manifesting the love of the Father to His children of earth.
 The kingdom of heaven is human society living according to the right eousness of God in all things. AS the Apostle says: "The manifestation of the spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 1" The diversities of gifts by the same spirit are for the best good of all The body of Christ the Church is one, the Spirit is one, and we are all members one of another. Every member has his gift, and his work and his place and part in the kingdom.
 The true ideal of the Church pre- sents to our minds the highest, happi- est state of society in all it's interests, temporal and spiritual. The Christian fife is not narrow, distorted, exclu- sive state of existence. The spirit of Christ sets us free from the bondage of the world, the flesh and the devil. It cures men of sin and the love of evil; it makes us ashamed of our self

It is called "A Diplomatic Adventure,' J and the first chapters will appear in sentences, quoted from advance sheets, give an idea of scene and setting: 'NC man has ever been able to write the history of the greater years of a na tior so as to include the minor incidents o1 interest. They pass unnoted, although in some cases they may have had val ues influential in determining the course of events. It chanced that ] myself was an actor in one of these lesser incidents, when second secretary to our legation in France, during the summer of 1862. may possibly over. estimate the importance of my adven. ture, for MT Adams, our minister al the court of St James, seems to have failed to record it, or, at least, there is no allusion to it in his biography. In the perplexing tangle of the diplomacy of the darker days of our Civil War, many strange stories must have passed unrecorded, but surely none of those remembered and written were more singular than the occurrences whicl disturbed the quiet of my uneventfu life in the autumn of 1862."

regiment was nearly annihilated in the

members left were transferred to an

cannot leave their homes, and they
