A mother. whose little daughter had
the habit OF biting her nails, had
tried numerous unsuccessful devices
for curing her before she hit upon
n which proved eminently effective.
This was nothing less than the gift
of a manicure set, with permission to
use ii all she wanted to. AS the child
learned to polish and trim her nails
her joy in them grew apace until
pride had quite put to rout the ugly
habit which no amount of coaxing
or scolding had been able to break
up.

FORT RUSSELL SOLDIERS
PREPARING FOR SERVICE.

Army officials at Fort Russell have
become considerably excited over the
discovery hat the orders recently is
sued for the transfer of the Eighth and
Tenth batteries of field artillery to the
Philippines were sent out direct from
the war department and signed by Sec.
rotary Taft. Orders for the transfer
of troops from one post to another are
usual issued by the department COM
mander, and the action of Taft is as
serted to be proof that the war depart
ment believes trouble in China is i'm
minent. This, added to the fact that
the troops have been instructed to take
along their service uniforms and light
baggage, convinces the officers at Fort
Russell that active campaigning is an
.ticipated.

Agreed Upon Anything and His
Road Will Continue As 1t Has Be-

Omaha, Neb., Jan. live are still
working with just as large a force as
we did have and have abandoned no
plans which we announced some time
ago" said General Manager Holdredge
of the Burlington.
h was in response to a report
from Denver that Hill and Hartman
had reached an agreement which
would stop much of the contemplated
competitive building in Wyoming, and
that the Burlington would not build to
Salt Lake, as that was considered a
Union Pacific point.
The report also said that the Union
Pacific had abandoned its plan for
building a line from Wolcott to Sara
toga and Encampment, and that the
Union Pacific and the Saratoga and
Wyoming have reached an agreement
whereby the latter will be built with
the Union Pacific having traffic rights
over it.
To this General Manager Mohler
said:
Mr.. Hill has o bought the Union
Pacific and our men are still at work
on this road, SO it does not look like
we had abandoned it. The Saratoga
and Wyoming is supposed to be back
ed by the Burlington and it is part of

stone and Pacific, and it is said the
road will be built on into the Yellow

SHE LOST Her JOB.
Girl Accused Of Cutting Up a
Dress Goods.

Mary Fenzak, a servant in the Will
ner household at 511 State street,
was accused in police court this NOR
ming of cutting three pieces of dress
goods belonging to a boarder and of
stealing four dollars worth of the
material. The boarder, Max Stein
berg, said that the woman acted very
suspiciously when accused of the
deed shortly after it was discovered
and that she left the house for some
time, looking back nervously all the
while. He believed she had been the
guilty party because he had never
lost anything in the house before, al
though he has stayed there two
months each year for ONE year. The
woman denied the charges and was
discharged because there was no pos
tive evidence against her and be-
cause Steinberg did not care to go to
New Brunswick on the court bust
ness. He desired to get the value of
the goods. Mary lost her job, though,
and Mrs. Walner promised to give
her IS which she owed her for two
weeks services.
