Could Not Forget.

Deadwood, S. D., Sept. 30.-Joining
the army three years ago to forget
the pretty southern girl who Tilted
him for another, Louis E. Mingledorf,
scion of wealthy French family of
Atlanta, Ga, is being looked for by
the United States military authori-
ties on the charge OF desertion.
Mingledorf was a member of Troop
r, Sixth cavalry, which was recently
ordered to the Philippines. Mingle-
dorf graduated from the University
of Pennsylvania and then went to
Harvard, where he studied law. He
had become engaged to Miss Jessie
Mallory, beautiful young woman of
Savannah, Ga. During his second
year at Harvard Miss Mallory, with
out notice, married another young
man and went to live at Mobile.
When Mingledorf learned of his
sweetheart's faithlessness he sud-
denly left Cambridge and was next
heard from serving as a trooper His
former messmates believe he has
killed himself in some isolated spot
in the Black Hills.

SIX HUNDRED DROWN IN FLOOD

REIGN OF MR.. STUBS PASSES.
Entrance of Eastern Roads Into
Freight Bureau Reduces AL
Powerful Influence.

Chicago. H.. Sept. 30.-With the
advent of eastern railroads into the
transcontinental freight bureau,
there disappears from the railway
field one of the most powerful die
tatorships in railway history. With
eastern roads having an equal voice
in making transcontinental freight
rates, J. C. Stubs is no longer auto
crat of the traffic world. Until the
recent admission of eastern roads
into the councils of the freight bu-
reau the Hartman lines dictated
what all transcontinental rates
should be. Stubs, as general traf.
f1c dictator of the Hartman lines,
therefore held position which was
unique and all powerful. The entry
of eastern roads into the reckoning
is result OF the new law which
makes them responsible for all rates
in which they concur and they must
concur in rate before it can be
used over their lines.
