the words that would have made Miss
Lorene Mahoney the wife of H. O..
Barry the young woman's mother rusn-
ed into the room and forbade the cere-
mony.
The bride-to-he became hystrical at
the interruption and insisted that the
ceremony proceed, but finally the
mothers pleadings won her over and
she left her intended husband and
went to her home. Miss Mahoney is
a Catholic and Barry is a Protestant.
The mother insisted her daughter oe
married, il at all, by a Catholic priest.
The marriage license for Barry and
Miss Mahoney was issued yesterday
afternoon, but Mrs Mahoney knew
nothing of the wedding plans until

APOSTLE OF GOOD ROADS.

A practical talk by practical maM
to an audience made up largely Gs
hard-headed and practical farmers
who were able to appreciate the value
of the lessons taught. sums up the
address last night by D. Ward King of
road drag fame at the Commercial az
sociation's rooms. Without an axe to
grind, having nothing to sell, but sim
cerely and earnestly pleading with tho
men who, more than anyone else,
know the value of good roads, the we'll
known expert Of highways talked for
nearly two hours and never proved
firing for an instant. The result OF his
missionary efforts In behalf of better
highways was seen in the spontane-
ohs movement of the aud .ence to give
names and addresses to the speaker
in order that they might be sent n
pamphlet which tells of the manner OF
making and practical way of using the
King drag, as we'll as a copy of the

Farmers Predominate.

Some eighty men were present at
the gathering and nearly all arrived
before the hour set for the opening Ut
the meeting or this gathering the
major portion were Wapelio county's
representative farmers, practical men
all, and representing about every
township in the county. The interest
taken in the address was best demon
strated in the number and nature of
the questions asked the speaker at the
close of his talk. Few il any points
that affect the question Of good dirt
roads, and made roads as we'll, were
overlooked in the questions put to M.
King. The exhibition of small work
ing model of the King drag by the
speaker and it's simplicity dwelt upon
in the explanation OF its ability 10
make impossible highways into per-
feet roads, was given close attention.
S. n. Harper Presided.
The meeting was called to order by
Secretary G. D. Doud Oh the CONNER
cial association, who called upon Capt
s. n. Harper TO preside. In a neat
introductory speech Chairman Harpsr
presented the speaker, who began by
the customary salutation to ladies' and
gentlemen, but seeing no ladies' pres

tentfon to the fact that among the
greatest enthusiastic for the King road

suits from dragging the roads with a

by ladies'" said the speaker. He then

WILL APPEAL TO
SUPREME COURT
INTERSTATE COMMISSION NOT
TO REST UNDER DECISION
OF CIRCUIT JUDGES.
ATTORNEYS FOR RATE BOARD
CONFIDENT OF REVERSAL,
THEY SAY.

Washington, Aug. 2t.--It is regard
ed as certain that the Interstate
commerce commission will appeal to
the United States supreme court from
the decision of the United States cir
cult court at Chicago in the Missouri
rate case. 1t is the unanimous opin.
ion of the commission attorneys
that the supreme court will reverse
the decision of the circuit court. II
is pointed out that it manifestly would
be impossible for the commission in
the fixing of a reasonable rate be-
tween two given points widely separ-
ated, to take into consideration every
one of the thousands of rates that
might be affected at intermediate
points. This phase of such situa-
ton, necessarily, it is asserted, would
have to be handled by the carriers
themselves, SO that the rates should
conform to the principles laid down
in the commissions order.
1t is a noteworthy fact that, in the
Missouri rate case, the commission
itself was not unanimous in its opin.
ion While no dissenting opinion was
rendered it is known that Chairman
Knapp and Commissioner Prouty did
not agree with the opinion on which
the commissions order was based.

FARMERS IN VICINITY OF NEE.
NAH BEATEN OUT OF
SOME $4,000.

Neenah, Wis, Aug. 26.--Farmers in
the immediate vicinity and about
eight adjoining counties have been
swindled out of about $4,000, It is
now believed, owing to the workings
of a number of farm implement
agents, who focnd many victims. II
is stated that many farmers were ap.
preached by the agents, were shown
excellent pieces of machinery and
then sent In an order. A cash de.
post, however, was required, and in
this way the smooth workers got

When the goods were received they

practically Of no lasting value. In

HARTMAN RESTS
IN SECLUS|ON
DISAPPEARS IN MOUNTAIN HOME
AWAY FROM HUM OF
INDUSTRY.
SAID THAT JUDGE LoVET'r MAY
BECOME THE MAGNATE's
SUCCESSOR.

New York, Aug, 26.-Two thousand
feet above sea level, at his country
estate near Arden. New York, E. H.
Hartman was resting In seclusion
last night Shielded from business
cares. barred from visitors, practically
isolated in his mountain home, he has
entirely disappeared from the public
eye.
A brief announcement was made at
the Union Pacific Offices yesterday
that he is resting quietly, and by tele-
phone to Arden it was learned that
there was no change in his condition.
Aside from this, he is as far away
from the American public as he was
at Bad Gastein, Austria, with the At
lantic ocean between.
With Harriman's permanent retire
ment from the active management of
his railroads considered, at least, as
possibility, those of a prophetic turn
of mind pick Judge Robert S. Lovett
general counsel for the Hartman
lines as the man to fill his shoes.
This is mere gossip at this stage, but
it Is nevertheless predicted. Judge
Lovett is 40 years or age. After en-
tering the railroad legal field in 1884,
he became general counsel for the
Southern Pacific in Texas. When
Hartman took over the road, he
picked Lovett as a man of ability and
has since advanced him rapidly Mr.
Lovett visited his chief at Arden yes
terday, or at least made the journey,
whether he conferred with him or not
