Francis Train 10000.

A broken window pane once cost
George Francis Train more than $780,.
900, 1t was this way: Citizen Train,
with the brains OF twenty men in his
head. all pulling different ways" went
to Omaha in the spring of 1864 AT
that time he was the most talked OF
man in America. He had not a thing
but money. He bought 5000 city lots
and altogether spent several hundred
thousand dollars. He boarded at the
Herndon House, the best hotel In sight
The quixotic Train was regular In only
one thing--his habits. He always oc-
cupied the same seat at the table. One
morning a pane of glass was broken
out Of a window directly behind his
chair. He protested and was advised
to change his seat. He would not. In
stead he paid servant 10 cents a min.
ute to stand between him and the
draft. After breakfast he expostulated
with the landlord, but received no sat
isfaction.
"Never mind" said Train. "In sixty
days win build hotel that will ruin
your business"
And he did. The contract was let
that day. Scores OF men were put TO
work. The site selected was Ninth and
Harvey streets. near the Missouri riv-
err Citizen Train went to New York
and engaged Colonel Coxzens, noted
caterer OF that city, as manager for his
hotel.
The building alone cost $4,000. The
furnishings cost $4,000 more. In the
basement was gas plant, the only
one west of ST. Louis. The work was

ANOTHER RUSH
FOR GOLD IS ON
This Time 1t Is PhonoIite and
LOdi-SaIt LakerS Are
Deeply Interested.

Word has just come in from Phonolite
and Lodi, New, that is warming the
hearts of the Salt Lake and Utah people
who have been interested over there for
nearly year past. w. f. Bruner, man.
ager of the Paymaster company's prop
erty at Phonolite, writes to a friend and
business associate in this city that he
has made a wonderful showing in the
Paymaster mine during the past few
weeks. he has opened the ledge with a
400-fOot tunnel and has six feet of splen-
did ore. A string of twenty-three assays
that were taken of the six-foot ledge in
the Wine being sunk in the ore gave re-
turns ranging all the way from Sl7 20 In
gold and silver to $50 100 In gold and 1,645
ounces silver per ton, assays which. he
for the mass.
The letter also tells of some wonderful
strikes that have recently been made
about two miles north of Lodi and six
miles west from Phonolite, while the
statement is included that the Illinois
companys smelter at Lodi will be ready
to go into commission in May.
Adjoining the Paymaster property on
the south Salt Lake and outside Utah OPP
orators own the property of the Phono-
Neutrality-suspicious. company, which eX-
tends through to the north boundary lines
of the Amethyst companys mines on the
Lodi end. This mammoth group of
claims is known to carry the same Lodges
that have made mines of the Paymaster
and the Amethyst and that is why there
is so much interest shown here in the
strikes. Salt Lake and Utah men are
also largely interested in ground around
Lodi where the big strikes have just been
made and Mr.. Burners statement thar
there is no longer any chance to hold the
country back; that boom is already
started, is causing all kinds of rejoicing.
Bruner declares that Rawhide and all
other camps of recent discovery are sure
to be laid in the shade.

HEWHOUSE BACK
FROM THE EAST
Prosperity Is Returning Fast
Meets Committee of
NeWhouSe Shareholders.

After two months absence in Europe
and New York, Samuel Newhouse ap-
peared at his offices in this city again
yesterday morning. He expressed a firm
conviction that business throughout the
country is gong to expand with ever
increasing rapidity from now on, and be-
fore the fall months have grown old he
predicts that the country will have near
ly forgotten that there had been such a
thing as financial panic. He is glad to
be home again and declares that he will
not leave until business interests demand
his presence elsewhere
Among his early callers yesterday was
the committee appointed by local interests
in the NewhOuse Mines & Shelters cor
poratfon two or three days ago, which had
been instructed to request representation
on the board of directors at the annual
meeting, to be held on the 9th in New
York.

The growing strength in the price of

BUSINESS COUNTRY OVER

The New York Financial News IS
quoted over the Pollock private wires as
follows:
zone of the largest central wire houses
in New York. with direct wires to Chi
cagO, San Francisco and principal points
in the northwest and southwest, has made
an extensive canvass to ascertain the ac-
tual state of business. A summary of the
report has been read by us. 1t shows
steady improvement since the first of the
year. with the feeling that an extension
of the betterment will take place from
now on.
1.-THE latest wire reports are sanguine.
Some points report that the volume of
business is larger than at the same time
last year. All lines were covered. This
information is reliable. Because of faciii-
ties that are eminently superior. and on
account OF conservatism that has in the
past proven accurate. the source COM
mands our high respect, and especially as
the suspicion of manipulation is absent"

QUALITY

Here's a simple quality test you can
make for yourself: Make a visit to the
secondhand dealers and consult the
automobiles for Sale) columns in the
newspapers and automobile journals. II
is obvious that the cars which are
the most difficult to secure and depre-
ciate the least in value are the cars
of quality.
It is difficult to find Pierce ARROWS
