Edward Henry Hartman was born
February "a, 1S4S. at Hampton. L. 1.
He was the second son in a family
of six children. His father was Rev.
Orlando H. Hartman, an Episcopal
minister.
The Harrimans were poor as church
mice. The elder Hartman changed
parishes every year, but not till Ed
ward was nearly grown did he get
one where he could earn a comfort
able living, Always his meagre SAL
ary was in arrears, and his pride
prevented him from accepting help
from his friends. The Hartman chill
dren wee pressed even for food and
clothing.
Young Harriman's education was
little and desultory.
While still in his teens young Har-
riman went into Wall street as a
brokers' clerk. He set in to learn the
Wall street game 1t was in the
early '70s. His teachers W ere Jay
Gould and Jim Fiske and Jay Cooke.
So young Hartman was soon trad

Within ten or fifteen years he had
made good. He had made his mil
lion. had won the respect of w. X.
Vanderbilt and StWvesant Fish. He
had established his own brokerage and
banking house-E. H. Hartman &
Co.
Also he was studying railroads
studying them as no man had ever
done. Already he was looking west

wealth as yet undeveloped.
He became friendly-but not a
Stuyvesant Fish, who
had admired his ability. and had made
him director of the Illinois Central,
then a struggling road of 1000 miles.
Until 1887. when Fish became presi-
dent and Hartman vice president the
broker was completing his "educa-
ton" Fish was content to build up
the Illinois Central, but his vice pres
ident was looking far beyond. He
had his eyes on the west first His

Portland.-Stopped by a masked
thug while on his way home last night
Charles Hildyard, a butcher, living al
392 East Tenth street. was rescued
from being robbed at the rhuzzle of
a revolver by his dogs, who, faithful
to their masters call, came on the
run and put the robber to route.
The shopkeeper had closed his
store, 371 East Eleventh street and
had walked to within a block Of his
house. He was carrying a large sum
of money with him. The woud-be
thug came UP from the rear and
caught him by the collar. The
butcher uttered a shrill shistle to his
dogs. When the masked man saw the
dogs coming, he released his grasp on
his victims collar and took to his
heels The dogs followed the fleeing
man but for fear that one of them
might be shot Mr. Hlldyard called
them off.

ris and High Grove, near this city.
BY means of a third rail for half a
mile on either side of stations. the
dispatcher has entire control over the
train and can bring it to a stop at
will If the engineer does not do so on
signal.

INTEREST MANIFESTED
IN NEW ORCHARD TRACTS

That the people Of the state are in
terested in the new orchard tracts which
are being placed on the market has
been again demonstrated in the rapid
manner in which the plots of the
Honeyville Orchard company, just north
of Brigham City, are being sold, The
property was placed on the market only
Mondays yet already ten Of tire choice
locations have been sold, and the in.
quiry for other iveacre tracts is very
large.
The orchards, each one five acres in
extent, contain 800 trees each, and have
now been planted for three years. 1t
Is provided in the terms of sale that
the company shall continue TO care for
the trees for another period of three
years, by which time il is expected they
will be large enough TO bear fruit, The
property is under the charge Of the
American Colonist snd Trust company,
which will conduct a personally super.
Vised excursion 10 the place Sunday
morning. c. S. Holquist, manager Of
the property, will accompany the party.

AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experience.

woman who has used Postum since
1T came upon the market knows from
experience the wisdom of using Postum
in place OF coffee if one values health
and d clear brain. She says:
"At the time Postum was first put
on the market | was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and nay physician
had repeatedly told me not to use tea
or coffee. Finally ! decided TO take
his advice and try Postum, | got a
package and had 1t carefully prepared,
finding it delicious TO the taste. So |
continued its use and very soon its
beneficial effects convinced me of its
value, for L got well of my nervous
ness and dyspepsia.
My husband had been drinking cof-
fec all his life until it had affected his
nerves terribly, and / persuaded him TO
shift to Postum. il was easy to pct
him TO make the change, for Postum
is so delicious. 1t certainly worked
wonders for him.
"We soon learned that Postum does
not exhilaratc or depresS and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom-
nch.
"To make a long story short, our en-.
tire family continued to use Postum
with satisfying results as shown in our
fine condition of health and we have
noticed a rather unexpected improve
ment in brain and nerve power.
Increased brain and nerve power al
ways follows the use of Postum in
place Of coffee, sometimes in a very
marked manner. "There s Reason. -
