Change in Condition.
Arden. N Y, Sept. 6.-Edward H.
Hartman has suffered relapse and
is thought to be in a serious condi.
tion. DR.. William G. Lyle, the fam
lily physician, admits that there has
been a change in the financier's con-
dition, but insists that there is no
cause for alarm.
While no authentic information
other than DR.. Lyle's brief statement
has come from the Arden house, the
Impression prevails, owing to the
fact that trained nurse has been
summoned, that Mr.. Hartman is
dangerously ill., The entire family
is at Arden house and Judge Robert
s. Lovett, general counsel for the
Union and Southern Pacific railroads
was also summoned.
1t was reported that several spe-
cialists who attended the conference

RAILROADS ENGAGE
IN SPEED WAR
TRAINS WILL MAKE FAST TIME

MAIL CONTRACTS INVOLVED
Fight Inaugurated by Hill Lines
in Order to ForestaII the
st. Paul Road.

Chicago, Sept. 6.-When the Hill
lines announced few days ago that
they would lop ten hours off the
fastest time between Chicago and
the North Pacific Coast points they
inaugurated speed war that has
spread over the entire transcontinen-
tai railway map. In the Southwest
territory, the fight is on for the mail
contract. The Santa Fe proposes to
cut ten hours off its time between
Kansas City and Los Angeles and
its rivals are scurrying in every di-
rection and ordering their experts
TO get equipment in condition and be
ready to meet the time of the Santa
te
The fight started when the Hill
lines apparently sought to forestall
the st. Paul road, which, with its
Puget Sound extension, will soon be
in position to make trouble in regard
to rates and maibcontracts.
Notice was served by the Burling-
ton that. effective September 12, that
road also would no longer observe
the Western Passenger train speed
agreement. The Burlington desires
to forestall the St. Paul and annex
the mail traffic before that road is in
position to compete for it. If the
Government accepts the proposition,
this will be the first through fast
mail and express train between Chi
cago and the Middle West and the
Puget Sound territory, and will re-
suit in facilitating the mails in the
Far Northwest by fully half day.
1t is purposed to start the train out
of Chicago about 1850 o'clock in the
morning and get to Seattle soon after
noon of the third day. The mails for
! that territory now arrive at night
The Hill management asks the
Government to give it all the Puget
Sound mail for the new train.

Speaking to the representatives of
the press, DR.. Cook said he left at
the North Pole an American flag and
a box containing documents, includ-
ing brief account of the trip and
observations and the data to bear
out his claim, and that he brought
back the most exact observations,
absolutely proving his statement.
The explorer also said he kept a
diary throughout his entire expedi-
ton, in which he recorded the most
minute details.
DR.. Cook stated in part:
Concerning the ice around the
Pole, it was slightly more active

south. Its general character was
not very different from that at other
places. We stayed around the Pole

have been figured out again. it il
possible that there will be found
slight errors and differences, but
am certain that a gunshot fired from

over the Pole"

Another Meade Boy Makes Good

The News has always made it a
point to mention any of our boys
who grow up here, and go out in to
world, who make the proper record.
This is not so much for the COM
mendation of the one mentioned,
although we belive that every young
person is benefited by knowing that
the community has an eye on them,
and approves all good acts and dis
APPROVES all bad ones.
Malcolm Judd is Meade coun-
ty boy, grew up here, educated in
the city schools, finishing with a
business course at Lindsborg.
Some eighteen months ago he was
placed in the office of American
Surety Company at Washington, D.
c. This is second only to the home
office at New York, and Malcolm
has the position of assistant treas
urer and bookkeeper. We learn
that recently the auditor from the
home Office came on to check up
the books of the Washington office.
After his work was finished he re-
ported that the books of the Office
balanced to cent. The Office
handles thousands of dollars of
money every day and the fact that
the books tailed to cent with the
cash and work of the sfice speaks
we'll for Malcolm a. a.-worker. We
learn.tha he il not particularly bril-
liant or quick with his, accoupts- bu,
that he is sure. That L.. the. point
in any business, cerHinity. This il
alone reached by close application
to the workin hand.

And there he'll build himself home.

The banks of the bitches caved bad

Sheep are cheaper this spring than
they have been before in number OF
years and many farmers are going out
of the business. AS result breeding
ewes can be bought at bargain prices.
Those who get on the band wagon, OF
rather the sheep wagon. now, will reap
their reward in the near future. There
is constantly increasing demand fol
good mutton in this country, and those
who stick to the business now and dc
not get frightened by the temporary
depression in the industry are the wise
ones, and the ones that will make mon
ey in the near future. 1t is serious
fact that in every industry there are
times of high tide and of depression
and at the time of high tide everyone
wants to get into it. They will pay
high prices for foundation fiocks anG
then when the depression comes they
will sell out at the lower prices anc
lose all they have made, while if they
had bought at the time of low prices
and held on until the tide arose they
would have had balance on the other
