Railroad Notes
TESTING STEEL
PULLMAN CAR
Railroad Men Are Much In
terested in Forthcoming
Test Of Car.

Executive officials Of trunk lines are
deeply interested in the tests to be
made Of the first steel Pullman car
ever constructed. The car was built
at Chicago and was completed during
the past week. It will be given a test
trial on one Of the larger railroad sys-
TENS, and it is generally believed that
the New York Central, the Pennsyl-
vania, the Erie and others viii use
none except steel Pullman cars for
through service within the next year.
The speed of the majority of through
passenger trains has been greatly in
creased during the past few years, and
the officials have been working with
view of getting more substantial cars
for these trains.
Some months ago the Erie railroad
company received several steel passen-
ger coaches, and it was on this road
that the first steel passenger car fig
ured in q wreck All the other ears
were practically demolished, while the
steel car was scarcely damaged. The
officials decided then the steel cars for
| through trains, and 7rie officials are
/ especially interested in the test of the
new Pullman car. Officials of the
! Pennsylvania Railroad company some
! time ago announced that steel Pull
man cars would be eventually used
to make up the eighteen hour train
between Chicago and New York It
was planned to reduce the running time
Of the fast train by about two hours.
but it was decided to postpone this
change until after the steel Pullman
cars have been tested
During the past two or three months
there has been an unusually large
number of railroad wrecks, in which
many passenger cars were destroyed
and which resulted in a large number
of passengers being killed. The weight
Of the locomotives has been greatly in
creased, and it is figured by operating
officials that the increased weight OF
the steel Pullman cars will have but
little effect upon the motive power.
Bids for new steel Pullman cars will
likely be invited shortly and contracts,
it IS expected, will be awarded early
this spring.
The first steel postal car built by
the Pennsylvania Railroad company,
at the Altoona shops. which was COM
pleted recently, has been given a thor
ough test on the eastern divisions and
1t was announced that the new car
will be placed in service between New
York and washington.

TRYING TO PROVE AN ALIBI
That Is the Defense the Lawyers Are
Working Up for Steve
Adams.

Wallace, Ida, Feb. 27-Bit by BIT
the attorneys for Steve Adams are lay
ing the foundation for their theory that
the defendant was not in the Marble
Greek region when Fred Tyler was
murdered, but was in Spokane. A
positive declaration that Steve Adams
and Jack Simpkins were miles away
from the scene Of the crime when
Boule, the claim-jumper, was killed,
was made by Newt Glover.
Glover also fatty denied that part
of Adams confession which stated
that Tyler, Simpkins, Adams and Glow
er had spent a night together in Slmp-
kins' cabin just before Tyler was MUIR
dered. The defense is expected to
occupy about three days with its EVIL

EXTRACTS FROM THE DIARY
They Make the Witness Smile When
She Reads Them.


Several extracts from Evelyn Mes
bits diary were read out in court, and
as Mrs. Thaw read them over before
they were read out she occasionally
smiled. She said she kept the diary
while at school in Pompton, n. j., In
1902. Jerome then read a few extracts
from the diary. One was as follows:
Mrs. De Mile said to come right in
and I jumped with the agility of
soubrette and began to get shy An
other read: "She has a son, but
must say he is a pie-faced mutt"
Then Jerome read this: my room
here is neither large nor small. There
is a white, virtuous bed. took a nap,
and the last thing I remember was
wondered how far am from Rectors.
Rector's is really not proper place
for an innocent young person, but l

is good to have lived. A girl who has
always been good and never had any
scandal about her is fortunate in more
ways than one. On the other hand,

She said that wherever Thaw saw
White after she had told Thaw
the story of her ruin he acted
irrationally. On one occasion he
seemed to have a fit-he cried, sobbed
and bit his nails, his body trembled
and his eyes rolled. He believed that
White had a gang following him and
always went armed, and this conduct
continued until he had Killed White.
Referring to the report that she was
mixed M with the Garland divorcc
case. which she denied. she said that
Garland told her mother that if they
had anything to do with White be
(Garland) would have nothing to dc

The Season of Mysteries.

About this season Of the year,
When days are cold and nights are drear
A stir through all the household creeps
AS soft as dreams to him who sleeps.
Now Mollte sits up late at night
And keeps her bedroom door shut tight;
She has an absentmlnded air
That makes her little brother stare.
And mother, too, seems bothered some
BY all the stir and bob and hum
That sets the house in disarray
And gathers strength day after day.

There is at least one Englishman

He is a London dry goods merchant

procrastination being the thief of time
remarkably developed. He brought
with him number of cards bearing

and hung these up in his Office and
about the store.
Within a fortnight of the advent of
the cards the chief cashier departed

partments waited on the proprietor
with requests for increased salaries,

OUR NEW SISTER STATE.

Oklahoma is brilliant addition
to the sisterhood of States. 1t exceeds
many of the older states in popula-
ton, wealth, enterprise and its flu
ture is surpassed by that of few
The new State will be the wealth
lest and most poulous admitted to the
Union since the annexation of Texas.
With a territory of 70,230 square
miles, as large as that of Ohio and
Indiana combined, and a population
of about a million and a half, it will
probably take rank as the twenty
sixth of the &c states. Since it was
opened to settlement in 1889, settlers
have poured into Oklahoma, and its
development has ben wonderfully
rapid. In ten years it became the
most important of our Territorities
This has been due to no temporary
mining boom or timber-cutting but
to an agricultural and industrial de-
velopment that is as solid and sub
stanial as that of Iowa and Illinois.
The population has been drawn
almost entirely from the older States,
and Includes few foreigners. In fact,
about 80 per cent. of the people are
American born Though The whites
have NOT had full rights in the indian
Territory section that part Of th3 new
state rs long ago as 1890 inolu1 O. -@-
so~3ing to the last census, $3.50
whites, $500 Indians and 36,853 ne
groes. Since that time the proper
ton of whites has largely increased.
The eastern, or Oklahoma, section is
almost entirely white, so that the
whites viii be largely in the majority
in the State.
The taxable property is valued at
more than $S0O000,OOO AS evidence
of stable conditions is the $38,O00,00O
Of bank deposits-a remarkable show
ing for a new country
Ample provision for schools has
been made. More than 100000 acres
Of land, valued at $57,0O0,O00 has
been set aside for this purpose, and
to this the Federal Government adds
$5,000000 to provide for the schools
in the Indian Territory section.
In the State are 5000 miles of rail
roads giving access to the large out
side markets end reaching the de-
posts Of coal, granite, lead and
zinc and the rich oil and gas wells
From its coal beds more than 2,000,-
coo tons year are now being mined
All in all, the States will have good
reason to be proud of their new sis

HEARST'S PARTY WILL CUT
FIGURE.

William Randolph Hearst has no
love for either of the old parties.
He is opposed to the Republican
party on account of the tariff and the
monopolies, he says. Then the De-
mocratic party stole the mayoralty of
New York from him, he believes, and
probably the belief is well based. So
he encourages the formation of the
third party, the National Indepen-
dence League, as a protest against
both of the old organizations
= Hearst is naturally freebooter in
politics, anyway, and there is no
doubt with the extensive circulation
of his eight daily papers north and
west, and the other influences he will
be able to rally around him, that the
League will be an element to reck-
on with next year.
There is a tremendous discomfort
throughout the country, and the third
party may successfully attract to it
self the more rampant of those who
Favor reforms and find tho old par
ties gong too slowly towafJ national
ownership an cher doubtful rene
dies
1t is not unlikely that the Democra-
tic party will be the chief sufferer
rom the new national party.
t ,U'Ae Republican forces are kept
better in hand, the masses Of the
party are almost idolators at the
shrine of Roosevelt, and the election
returns will probably show, as con-
.ditions now are, that Hearst s party
has cut deep into democTacy's
strength and inflated the returns of
the republican party in comparison
with its old time opponent.
