or the animated pictures to be

series Of pictures imaginable. The
story shown by this set Of pictures is,
that Of a young married woman who,
becoming disgusted at the inattention
of her husband, while reading the
daily paper, sees an advertisement OF
vigor compelling electric contriv-
ance to be sewn inside of a gentle
mans overcoat. The peculiar actions
of the several men who wear the

these electric belts has been sewn are

STRUCK II RICH
e. S. NEAL SAID 70 HAVE FALLEN
INTO A FORTUNE IN NEW s .@ss5
MEXICO.

It is said that 3. S. Neal has struck
it rich down in New Mexico in a min
ing proposition. The following from
the Washburn Leader will be read
with interest by Mr.. Meals friends in
Burleigh and Mclean counties: &
Atty. McCulloch has many inter
esting accounts to relate about his
southern trip. In Juarez, Old Mexico,
the Mexicans were cutting wheat
and the Mulberries were ripe, but 80
miles from there the fruit had all
been filed. He attended bull fight
which was very exciting, especially to
a northerner. While in New Mexico,
Messrs. McCulloch. and e. s.. Neal,
with 8 others, organized a First Ma
tional Bank at Engle, with Mr.. Neal
president. Mr.. Neal is also director
in the Victoria Chief Copper Mining
and Smelling Co, Of Engle
These mines cover from 5 to 10
miles of mountainous country. About
$50 men are employed and are using
power drills. The mines have been
worked only a year. Ten miles OF
road had to be built into the country
first so they have had great difficulty
in getting the ore out. Mr.. McCul1och
brought samples Of the ore home, that
he had knocked off the lodges sticking
out of the mountains, which is said to
yield so per cent. He does not con-
slider New Mexico good place to live
unless interested in mining. A 81.
100000 dam had been built just re
Gently near Elephant Butte, but ir-
rigation is difficult and farms small.
On his return, he stopped off In
Kansas City, where he had lived in
81. He noticed great change and
thinks Y the finest country. he visited,
but as cold as here. Mr.. McC ulloch
returned Sunday and says N. D. air
is good enough for him. !

CHARGES GROSS FRAUD.
Attorney General Starts Trouble for
City Railways.

New York, Oct. 2.-Startling charges
of extravaganza and neglecrful man
agement, or if not that. failure to ac-
count for millions of dollars are made
by States Attorney General Jackson in
a petition fled calling for the appoint
ment of receivers for the New York
City Railway company and the Metro
politan Street Railway company AND
also demanding the dissolution of the
application for receivers was made to
Justice Ford of the supreme court,
who issued an order for the DEFENDANTS
to appear in court on October and
answer to complaint.
The attorney generals action fur
Their complicates a situation already
considerably entangled by reason Of
the various interrelated corporations
which control and operate the traction
lines in Manhattan island Adrian H.
Joline and Douglass Robinson were
appointed receivers for the New York
City Railway company by Judge La
combe in the district court several days
ago and today the same receivers are
named in the same court on applica-
ton of the compaEy's attorneys to act
for the Metropolitan Street railway.
The New York City Railway COM
pany leases the lines of the Metro
politan Street Railway company under
a guarantee to pay per cent dividends
on the Metropolitan stock. This divf-
denQ mas never Deen earned since the
date of the lease and the attorney gen.
eraI charges that the deficit to date
amounts to more than $1O,OOO,OOO- Tho
attorney general declares also that the
Interboro Metropolitan company,
which absorbed the New York City
Railway company in 1906, assumed all
obligations of the latter, and sets forth
tn at the New York City Railway COM
pany and its directors have taken no
steps to force the Interboro Metropolt-
tan to carry out its obligations.
The allegations limiting at fraud are
made in connection with the company's
account, the most sensa-
tional being that charge OF $509,9O0
per mile was made for the rebuilding
of certain surface lines. Attorney Gen
eraI Jackson alleges that the appoint
ment of a receiver for the New York
City Railway company by Judge La

HARTMAN is DROPPED.
Alton Control Is Turned From Onion
Pacific to Rock Island.

Chicago, Oct. AT the annual meet
ing of the Chicago & Alton railroad
here yesterday President S. NJ. FELTON,
presided; 340, 315 shares were voted. Rob-
ert Mather was elected to succeed him
self as director, and B. A Jackson and
Edwin Hawley were chosen to succeed
of New York. The financial statement
for the year ending June 80 shows net
earnings of $4.7s4,s74, an increase OF
d,017,78
1t was Edwin Hawley, a former as
sistant of E. H. Hartman. in Southern
Pacific, who was instrumental in turn
ing control of the Alton from the I'm
ion Pacific to the Rock Island. For sew
eral years the relations between Hawley
and Hartman have been strained. The
recent sale of the Alton to the Clover
Leaf was prompted by a suggestion
from the interstate commerce commits
sion that the ownership of the road by
the Rock Island was contrary to the
Sherman law. The Alton in no way
conflicts with the mileage owned by
the Clover Leaf, Edwin Hawley's sys-
tenn.
E. H. Hartman Is still confined by
illness to his home in the east The
annual meeting of the Union Pacific
will be held on October 8, that of the
Illinois Central also in October, and on
October p Mr.. Hartman will be called
upon to answer the questions he declin-
ed to answer during the Union Pacific
Alton investigation The questions bear
on the ownership of stock sold to the
Union Pacific.

CORRECTIONS AS REBATES.
Alleged Method of Giving Rebates by
Santa Fe.

Los Angeles, Oct. Evidence for
the most part of technical and docu-
mentary character was introduced by
the government yesterday when the
trial of the Santa Fe railroad on a
charge of evading the Elkins law was
resumed before a jury in the United
States district court. The prosecution
introduced many freight documents in
the effort to prove that the Grand
Canyon lime and cement company of
Arizona received sixty-six "correc-
tons of weight and charges and de-
pended upon the preponderance of
such corrections cards to show that
the company was the recipient of as
many rebates.
Attorneys for the Santa Fe are
standing upon the regular form" of
these cards and claim they were sent
to agents in southern California where
the lime shipments were received,
merely as inquiries as to the weight
of each car.
Thomas Pate, local freight agent,
Alex Larson, head. freight clerk in the
Santa Fe auditors office and F. S.
Gregson, chief clerk to the Santa Fe
freight agent, were examined by the
prosecution today
All refused to specify that the tariff
of forty thousand pounds minimum
and $40 a carload was the one in ac-
tual force at the time recited but
when asked if the Interpretation made
by the government upon the freight
bills introduced and the correction"
deductions were correct, each witness
admitted as much.
