strictly to business He formed the acquaint-
ance of the boy with rich backing and the two
became warm friends The poor boy who had
grown to be young by this time, was
given opportunities by his friend to make
money, which he improved with great shrewd-
ness. In the course of few years both became
famous in the business of the country. The
boy who had started out poor is today the most
audacious and most powerful man in the great
transportation world. The other, too, became
successful and president OF the Illinois
friends and it was through the efforts of the
president of this road that the other acquired
an interest in it and once in he soon obtained
control. When the president of the road refus-
ed to be party to the footing of the big insur-
ance companies but stood for square deal for
the policy holders, he gained the displeasure of
the man he had befriended and set on the high
way to great riches. The clash came and the

The wedding ceremony was per

Saint Joseph lilies and fruit blossoms.
About sixty intimate friends of Mr..
and Mrs. Smith were present.
The bride was gowned in an exquis-
ite robe of real point applique lace
over white chiffon, with an under robe
of white satin. The bridal veil was
the one worn by the brides mother
at her own wedding and was held in
place by orange blossoms. The only
ornament worn was a magnificent
diamond necklace, the gift of the

A sumptuOus repaSt followed the
wedding at which sixteen young ladies
were seated.

WHERE is RENO

Carson passed stirring resolutions
against the wretches who insulted the
American flag in Goldfield and called
upon the other leading towns in the
state to get in line. Where is Reno
on that question?
The people would soon get together
and it is the business of her papers
to see that they do. But Reno
journals make it a practice never to
advocate anything that originates in
Carson. That is why the Reno sheets
are such woeful and uncertain expon
ants of public policy.
1t is not that the people Of Reno are
unpatriOtic or nOn-prOgreSSive. II
simply means that the newspapers
there are woefully provincial.

THE REAL ANARCHIST

Men like Hartman make a thOuS-

like Johann Most. The notorious
Alton deal is a typical illustration OF
the machinery of manufacture. The
various phazes Of this have been dis
cussed as they tranSpired. The cynl-
cal frankness of Hartman and others
before the interstate commerce COM
er, so that the infamy may be review
ed as a whole.
The Alton was an old-fashiOned cor
poration with small capital, debt and
mileage, like the old Boston & Albany
or the present Lackawanna. 1t was
cOnservatively managed, paid liberal
dividends steadily and put surplus
earnings into betterments. The peo-
pie who owned it did not realize the
golden opportunities in the modern
fashion of capitalizing present and
prospective earnings, mOrtgaginS
everything in sight, dividing up the
stock and bonds among promoters and
leaving the people to furnish means
through heavy freight charges and
new loans for interest, dividends, de-
preciation and improvements.
The figures have been printed
Hartman and associates bought the
stock at 5000 diluted it 80 per cent
sold all the bonds they could unload
on banks, life insurance companies
and the public through their cOnnec
tiOn with them as directors, paid dlvl
dends to themselves and realized
profit on the sale of stocks and bOnd

In this process the liabilities of III
company, on which the public mis-
i,ay interest and dividends thrOug!

item only about $2O,OOO,Oa0 was adie
to the value of the property by be

The promoters did not even spar
- one another The Rock Island grou
was joined with the Union Paclf
group in the deal, with the unde
standing that they were to manaa
