Elkins-Abruzzi Match Aa'in.

Washington, Jan. THE engage.
ment between the Duke of the Alb
ruzM and Miss Katherine Elkins is
not off and has not been at any time
declared off. Instead, the wedding has
been postponed because of another APP
preaching marriage in the Italian
royal family. This is the newest re
port which comes to Washington CON
corning the famous romance. 1t is
said to have good authority
The Count of Turin, brother of the
duke, is to wed the Princess Patricia
of Connaught, one of the most distin-
guished members of the British royal
family. That wedding is not known to
have been set for a definite date as
yet, but the story goes that the
british and Italian royal families did
not want the Abruzzi-EIkins wedding
to come first, because it would newt
ably overshadow the match of two
royalties.

Representative Perkins, which has
been studying out plan whereby the
house will take cognZauce of the presi-

its report afford a chance for a flood

Roosevelt is causing ferment Of
words which is all but ready to blow
off the lid and commence geyserlike

will be the litter of the headgate and
the signal for all hands who wish a

sion soon to Be Built.
Sioux City Journal: Officials of the
Burlington in Sioux City stated yes
torday that while the Burlington road
had not as yet completed arrangements
for the building of an extension of its
line from Ericsson to O'Neill, Neb.,
such a move might be looked for.
For some time past press reports
from the section affected have con
tanned dispatches that the line was
to be built, and late reports from Lin
coin state that arrangements for the
building of the line have just been
completed and that contractors are at
work on the grading.
The building of this line has long
been mOoted project From time al.
most immemorial the shippers in that
section of Nebraska have been clam
oring for it, To Sioux City the open.
ing of such line would mean a boom
to the packing and grain buying inter-
tests. The territory through which It
would run if built is composed OF
some Of the best live stock sections in
Nebraska. From Holt, Rock, LOup,
Garfield, Wheeler and Brown counties
all the shipments of stock now are
made to the South Omaha market. The
throwing of this new line across these
counties to connect with the North
western at O'Neill would swing the
business to the local market because
the haul is shorter both to the local
and to the Chicago markets.
THE Introduction of the line into
this territory may come at any time"
said local official, "but we have had
no notice here that the move has been
decided upon. If the line is built it
will prove profitable both to Sioux
City and to the Nebraska territory"

thrown from the wagon, but Matthews
stayed with the vehicle until the team
was conquered.
While speeding along Mr.. Matthews
passed a rig containing a woman and
small boy. On his return for the
trunk he saw, when within fifty yards
of it, the woman removing a single
harness therofrom. Again Mr.. Matth,
ews' team ran, but this time to catch
the thief. Three miles to Butte and
one mile east of that city the race
continued but the womans team
proved too feet. Here Mr. Matthews
gave up the chase but employed Ed
Weber, farmer to take it up where
he abandoned it,
At last accounts Mr., Weber was
still in hot pursuit but the harness
has not yet returned to the owner.
