Chicago. Jan. 9. Competition be-
tween railroads terminating on the
Pacifis coast is a thing of the past.
OF the central western section e. III.
Hartman is king over the northern
territory, James J. Hill reignss SUI
preme.
The situation was brought out
clearly by Operating Director j. c.
Stubs, of the Hartman lines and
Chief Traffic Manager j. NJ. Hanna
ford, of the Northern Pacific, at the
interstate commerce hearing today.
What is more, Mr.. Stubs and Mr..
Hannaford agreed that this is COM
petition.
Mr.. Hannaford thinks there would
still be competition If one man owned
all the railroad properties. He denied
that he spoke for James ]. Hill, but
those who heard him think he did.
He has gained all his railroad expe-
Tience under the Wizard of the
Northwest and the Interstate COM
missioners said unofficially, but posi-
lively that they had no doubt the wit
ness mirrors his chiefs views.
Mr. Hannaford's idea is that com
petition would continue through the
individual efforts OF managers of the
separate lines and that the rate cues
ton would not enter into the matter
because that has already been set
tied. In other words. the countryA
will never again see one road cutting
under the prices made by another.
Mr.. Hills lieutenant confessed that
his line has given up the effort
TO get San Francisco because the
Southern Pacific possesses a quicker
route from the east The only COM
petition between Hartman and Hill
is for eastern, a very little southern
and for northern business.
Mr.. Hannaford said he did not
think car clearing house would be
bad thing that is, one agent
might be placed i'm charge of all cars.
For a railroad to get them he would
have acquisitions made through
regular channel.

CALLED LIFE BUT
A RAREB|T DREAM
Albert T. Chittenden, Well
Known Artist, Committed
Suicide in New York.
DIED IN HIS BATH ROOM
CAREFULLY CLOSED ALL GREW
ICES AND THEN TURNED ON
GAS-BEEN READING en- CUES
TIONS OF LIFE AND DEATH.

New York, Jan. 8. - Albert r. Chit
tenden. 40 years old, we'll known
portrait painter, was found dead, a
suicide, in a bath room of his studio,
Is West Twenty-ninth street, tbs af-
ternoon. He had been dead since
Monday, it is believed by coroner'6
physician OHanlon, who made the
investigation
This strange note, written on a
piece of brown wrapping paper and
pinned on gas jet, with which he
had connected pipe, was found by
Coroner Hamburger:
Life is a rarebit dream. Ha,
ha! Such a funny dream. But
enough, enough. l am ready to
awake to something less ridicu-
lous'
He had made careful preparations
for death. Taking the mattress from
the bed in the front room, he had
placed it on the floor of the bath
room. Then the cracks in the door
leading from the studio to the hall
had been closed up with cotton bait
ing. Over that he pasted plaster so
that not a breath of air could come
in or escape. When he retired to the
bath room he closed up the chinks in
the window and then fastened the
door and damned pieces of paper be-
tween ii and the wall to keep out the
air. He had made a contrivance,
fastened to string, so that when he
lay down on the floor he could pull
the string and turn the gas cock
All this he had done, but he made
other preparations for death Feel
ing that the gas might not kill him,
he had loaded revolver near his
right hand, evidently intending to
shoot himself if the gas failed But
1T did not fail.
Chittenden before the final act had
evidently been reading from several
authors on the questions of life and
death John Ruskin was a favorite
with him. and a page of the famous
critics "Hertus Inclusum" was mark
steadily better and breathing again
steadily better and berathing again
The sunshine in soul and lips
On a slip of paper Chittenden had
written:
Murder is never justifiable. as 1t
interferes seriously with the plans of
others. but suicide is always so. at
any instance it is simply going
away from unbearable conditions.
The only objection there can ever be
to it is in the case of persons who
have assumed great responsibility"

AFTER GOULD INTERESTS

JOS. RAMSEY.
1pnh1ishers, Press

tPuhHSherS' Press
Jefferson City, No, Jan. 9.-The
biggest custer suit ever filed in Mis-
souri,, is that brought by Attorney
seeks to GUST the Missouri Pacific, the
ST. Louis and Iron Mountain and the
Wabash railways; The Pacific Ex-
press company; The Missouri and
Kansas Elevator company, the West
ern Coal and Mining company: the
Rich Hill Coal and Mining company,
and the American Refrigerator and
Transit company, from doing business
in Missouri. 1t is alleged in the petit
ton that the stock OF all the compa-
MES named, is owned by Gould inter
ests in violation of the constitution
and laws of the state.
1t is reported in railroad circles that
Joseph Ramsey, Jr., former president
of the Wabash, had supplied good
many hints Upon which Attorney Gen
eral Hadley has picked up evidence in
support of his suit.
IL will be remembered that the
Goulds unceremoniously threw Ram
sey out of the Wabash at the annual
meeting early last year after fight
for proxies. Ramsey refused TO en-
ter into certain deals for the Goulds
and then tried to wrest cont! from
them. The matter was taken INTO the
courts, but the Goulds won and Ram
sey was succeeded by F. A. Delano.
Ramsey has been bitter against the
Goulds since. He was in position
to know all about the various things
that Hadly alleges are contrary to the
Missouri laws.

Exploring at Home.

IXPtOrlIlS d. I1OII1Cs
While the pleasure of taking a search
warrant and a consignment of canned
goods and going to look for the north
pole is denied to most of us, yet there
are possibilities for the man of mod
crate income who wants to experience
all of the thrills of exploring, to get
them and remain right at home.
There is hardly an enterprising city
or country village in the land in which
the seeker after adventure may not
sally forth on a cold day and kill
stray dog. Then he can shovel away
snow and make a bare spot and a fire
and have genuine arctic meal while
the neighbors look on with envious
eyes.
After satisfying his hunger he can
wrap blanket about him and lie
down for "A peaceful snooze in a snow
bank. He should keep this up until
all of his toes have been frost bitten
There is only one drawback to the
scheme. 1t doesn't boost man to the
lecture platform.

SuspiCiOn!!!

Most everybody is suspicious that most all the statements made by an outside advertiser are ter ribly stretched if not absolute falsehoods. And we plead guilty of thinking that the state- ments made by the Devoe paint company, one of our advertisers, that their paint would go twice as far as other paints was putting things plenty strong, for, while not knowing anything about the paint question, we could see no reason why gallon of one kind of paint should go farth CT than gallon of any other paint. But a conversation overheard in 8 Postville business place Tuesday
 evening, fully convinces us that the claims made by the Devoe people for their T aint are abso- lutely true. A citizen who had fully decided to paint his house came into the above mentioned business place to got the views of the two brothers, who had each built homes of about the same size within the past year or so, on the kind of paint to use. One said he painted lead and oil, it cost him close to S28, and the paint was beginning to peel off the other said he used Devoe lead and zinc, it cost him a little over S14 and looked as we'll and bright as when first put on. They gave no advice, but it would be an easy matter to guess what kind of paint the man who made the inquiry will use on his house. (Extract from the Post- vile (La.) Review). Harbert Bros. sell our paint.
