ORIENT PUSHING SOUTH.
Cap in the Track Between Wichita
and AItus, Okla, Completed.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 15.-Effective to-
day Orient passenger trains run
through from Wichita to Altus, Ok,
260 miles. Now that the gap in the
track in Oklahoma has been compile
ted, the workmen who have been en-
ployed on the construction work on
the Kansas and Oklahoma division will
be transferred at once to the work on
the Texas division.
The next section to be connected is
the line north from SweetWater, Tex.
The track is now laid to a distance
two miles north of Benjamin, Tex, "a
miles. 1t will require 50 miles of steel
to build the line north to the Oklaho-
ma line, besides a 5000 foot bridge
across the Red river. With this con-
nectiOn established, the Orient will have
433 miles of continuous track laid south
of Wichita.
1t is also planned to build rs miles
line to San Angelo, Tex. Ten miles
of track is now in operation south of
Sweetwater.
The roadbed for all of this construc-
ton is graded. and all ties and bridge
timbers are on the ground. but the
builders are experiencing some diff
Guilty in obtaining steel
When the connection to Sweetwater
is built, the Orient company will be
able to handle Fort Worth and Gal
weston freight and passenger business
by way of the Colorado Southern rail-
way, which is crossed at DiaZ, Tex,
and also business for California, Ell
Paso and all points in Mexico, by way
of the Texas & Pacific, which is cross
ed at Sweetwater.

NOT so GOOD A SHOT.
In Other Respects Mrs. Metcalf's Case
Resembles Mrs. Bradley's.


Chicago. Jan. 15.-The case of Mrs.
Thomas Metcalf, who last evening shot
at Banker John R. Walsh's attorney
Samuel r. Hanill, in the federal build
ing here, parallels strangely in some re-
spects the case of Mrs. Annie NJ. Brad
ley of Salt Lake City, Utah. who re-
Gently was acquitted in Washington.
D. c., after killing former United
States Senator Arthur M. Brown, also
of Salt Lake.
Mrs Metcalf is former resident of
Hamilrs home city, Terre Haute, Ind.
She and her, husband from whom she
is said to have been estranged, were
at one time active in the work of the
same church there in which Mr.. Hamif
is prominent member She had since
at different times called on lawyers
here with a view to bringing legal ac-
ton against Attorney Hamill for alleg-
ed wrongs which she claimed to have
suffered at his hands. AS in the case
of Senator Brown, who had Travelled
from his home city, Salt Lake City,
Utah. to Washington, on an important
legal mission and was shot by Mrs
Bradley who had followed him from
Salt Lake, Mrs. Metcalf is said to have
followed Hamill across the continent.
Mrs Metcalf Is a native of Denver
From that city she is said to have
trailed after Hamill to New York, and
from New York to Chicago. She has
recently been earning a living on the
stage, appearing in minor parts.

President Roosevelt Makes an APP
pOint1nent With r. r. Men.

Washington, Jan. 15.-President
Roosevelt has made an appointment
for January 81 to confer with a COM
mittee of the operating vice presidents

ments will be one of the important
topics. The president has hitherto in
dicated his position as favorable to
such agreement under proper super
vision of the interstate commerce

WEEKLY REVIEW
OF COPPER MARKET

The Boston Financial News says in
its weekly review of copper and cop
pers: The market for copper shares
has nuctuated during the week in
sympathy with the large market in
New York. The tendency has been
reactory most of the week and 1t just
happens that the metal market has
shown the same characteristics.
There has been, at the same time,
evidences that the copper stocks have
been picked up by well posted peo-
pie and that activity is promised for
the future. The stock exchange has
listed during the week Lake Copper
and Miami and is evidently determin-
ed 10 get the benefit of the dealing
in copper shares where its members
are largely interested. At the same
time Mr. Lawson is wedding out the
curb ard VIII eventually succeed in
limiting the trading 10 propositions
having a fair chance of success from
the standpoint Of the buying public.
II Is obvious to the most casual OBJ
server that the stock exchange au-
thorities are looking for greater
activity in copper stocks based on an
increase in earnings and better metal
conditions. These will undoubtedly
be realized and in The meanwhile
everyone should follow the policy of
large investors in copper stocks and
take advantage of any weakness in
prices 10 buy.

Buyers are more IN evidence this
