Animal Instinct.

A friend of mine saw two cats ap-
preaching each other on the top Of a
board fence. There was no room for
them to pass each other, and he Won
dered what would happen. When they
were near each other one of them
stopped, turned around and retreated
till it came to another board fence that
Joined at right angles the one they
were on. The cat stepped off on this
fence and waited there till the other
went by. My friend thought this act
beyond the reach of instinct No doubt
those cats had met before, and one
was master of the other. What more
natural than that the defeated cat
should retreat before the superior and
when it came to the other fence step
off upon it and let the victor pass?
The action involved no mental process
any more than when two inert bodies
in motion meet each other and one
gives way. There was no other course
open to the cat If she or he had
turned back and taken to the side
fence solely to accommodate the other
cat, why, that were another matter.
The Gordon setter that met train
of cars upon railroad bridge and
stepped down upon one of the timbers
of the bridge and stood there while
the train passed gave no proof of rea-
soning powers. 1t was the only thing
the dog could do. Nearly all animals

SHIPPERS IN PROTEST
Will Take the Railways Before the Tn.
terstate Commerce Board if
They Will Go.

Representatives of more than three
hundred commercial organizations of
all parts of the country at meeting
held at Chicago adopted resolutions
protesting against the proposed ad-
vance in railroad freight rates, but
agreeing to submit the question of the
justice Of such advance to the inter
state commerce commission without
appeal to the courts.
In the event of the railroads refus-
ing to consent to arbitration the fed
eral courts are to be asked to issue
injunctions against the railroads in ev-
cry district where an attempt may be
made to increase the rates. The pro-
posed advance of from 10 to 10 per
cent in "offieial classification territory"
the resolution declares, means an in
crease in freight charges of about $780,
100000 annually, which is an ''acute
additional burden upon the business
interests Of the country"

Old Roman Laws.

The old Roman laws, according to
Colquhoun, conferred on the husband
complete empery over the wife. All
she owned or earned was vested In
him, and he acquired the same rights
over her person and property as if she
were his natural daughter. The wife,
on the other hand, acquired all the
rights to a child and to her husbands
name and succession in the event of
an intestate estate, and she could exer-
else all the privileges to which her sex
admitted. The power of the ancient
Roman father over his offspring was
originally perpetual, nor could the
child be emancipated from the ia
theirs control during the fathers life
except by that parents consent, nor
did he become sui juris until the ia
Their (being himself sui juris) died,
when the son was emancipated by the
simple operation Of the law. In those
brave days the father had legal per-
mission to scourge his children or to
send them, fettered like slaves, to
work on his estate or even to kill them,
choosing whatsoever means for their
taking off he thought proper.

The Way to the Station.

A party of automobiles was tour

the car forced them to take train
home. AS they walked down the road
seeking some one from whom they
could inquire their way they met an
old darby, says the Success Magazine.
"Will you kindly direct us to the rail-
road station?" one of the party asked
''Cert'n'y, sir" he responded. Keep

MYSTERY IN THIS MATTER
Theft of 100000 Shuts Up Bank
Capable of Losing So, 100000
and Still Living.

The closing of the Allegheny Nation
al bank at Pittsburg has some
features that are peculiar EX-Cashier.
Montgomery is in jail for wrecking the
bank. SO far as the court records are
concerned he is charged only with the
embeZZlement of $4,000 cash and
$125,G00 worth of securities. That the
bank has in some manner sustained
much greater loss is apparent from all
of it's recent statements showing that
it could sustain a loss approXimating
100000 without Impairment of its
capital and the statement made to City
Treasurer Steel last week when he
made inquiry as to the city's deposit
of 1,546, 953.
Steel said he was told last week by
Bank Examiner William L. Folds and
by officers of the bank that the al
legged shortage was about 100000, and
that the bank could pay that out of it's
surplus and undivided profits and con-
tinue business without interruption.
But the bank is closed all the same.

This has aroused new interest in the
story of Emil Greening Of Oklahoma
City, Okla. who was employed by Mrs.
Guinness in the fall of 1904.
Story That Greening Told.
Greening worked for Mrs. Guinness
at the time that Jennie Olsen disap-
peared, and his story was to the eff
feet that on a certain day in Septem-
Der a man and woman came to the
house, and that night Mrs. Guinness
for the two, whom she said were the
professor and his wife from the Los
Angeles college which Jennie was to
attend, would spend the night at the
house, and would require Greetings

saw nothing of Jennie nor the man and
woman, and was informed by Mrs.
Guinness that they had left on an ear
~ train, taking Jennie along.
Budsber in the Same Grave.
This body which is now declared to
be that of woman was taken from
the same hole as was that of Jennie
Olsen, and in that hole also were the
bodies of Ole Budsberg, of lola, Wis,
and the remains of a male person. All
the bodies were dismembered, but the
trunks of the four were in such cOndi,
ton that it was possible to identify
the bodies of Jennie Olsen and Buds
berg and also possible by the autopsies
to determine that one of the other two
was that of a female.
Three Murders in One Night.
The theory now advanced is that
Mrs. Guinness may have on the same
night-the night that Greening slept in
the barn = murdered not only Jennie
Olsen but also the man and woman
To Coroner Mack. Sheriff Shutter and
Prosecutor Smith this seems almost
Uncomfortable; but they consider, in the
light of recent developments, that moth
ing appeared impossible for this arch
murderess. The stomachs of the four
victims in this hole have been removed,
and the contents will be analysed for
poison. The disappearance of Jennie
Olsen, as well as the couple, occurred
in September, 1906 while Budsberg
was disposed of in May, 1907.
Noes Watch Identified.
The mystery surrounding the watch
found on the person of Ray Lamphere
when he was arrested has been cleared
up. J. G. Ramden, of Manfred, N. D.,
who came here. to investigate the dis
appearance of his halfbrother, John
Moe, of Elbow Lake, Mimi, identified
the timepiece as the one owned by his
brother when he left home. The num-
bers of the watch cOrresponded with
the numbers in Ramden's possession.
I4amphere said that Mrs. Guinness gave
hir watch. Ramden is positive that
his brother was murdered by Mrs.
Guinness, but he was not able to iden-
tify any Of the remaining skeletons,
and so will not be able to provide prop
er burial for his brother.
Threats against the life of Prosecu-
tor Smith continue to be made. He has
received another letter similar to the
one received last week. Both were
postmarked Brooklyn, n. Y. He is adj
yised to resign his Office under penalty
of death.
