Most trying companions are they

disturbed by evidences of the old

One day in going down the cellar

peering down into the darkness,
called out sharply:
"D'ye break the dish ?"

COLLEGE WOMEN WIVES
Statistics Show Them to Be Ahead of
Their Sisters.

Cincinnati, O., Oct 2S.-The col
lege woman is the better equipped to
serve in the home and for the up
lift of humanity according to the con-
sensus of opinion shown in the dis
cussionS in the annual convention of
the Association of Collegiate Alumni
in session here. This organization is
composed entirely of college women
from all parts of the country who are
graduates of the "a leading women's
colleges.
Miss M. Carey Thomas, president of
the Bryn Mawr college, chairman of
on college women in the United
States, reports that when men and
women are educated together there is
no greater number of marriages
than when the sexes are educated
separately; that IT'S out of 1000 col
lege women enjoy excellent health;
only eight college women out of 1000
have i'll health; that the health of
women improves while in college;
that college women in general have
better health than women who do not
attend college; that college women
marry stronger men, and they choose
more wisely and these are men with
a little larger incomes, and that one
third of the husbands of college
women have higher salaries on the
who have attended college
AS to bearing children Mrs. Thomas
declared college women had 8 clio
children while non college women had
8 $40, SO college women were In the
lead slightly. although they married
later in life than women who never
attended college.

manager of the Burlington and third
vice president of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul. He was elected
president of the Santa Fe in 1896 at the
time of the reorganization OF the road.
His success with the Santa Fe in the
past dozen years has been one of the
features of railroad history.
When the stockholders meeting
was called to order in General Man
ager Hurley's office at noon today, one
could not help but contrast the pres
ent Santa Fe system with it's condition
just fifty years ago when the first
meeting of the board was held here
in Topeka and the road organized by
old Col. G. K. Holiday and other To-
peka citizens. Then the road was
called the Topeka and Atchison and
composed simply of a line of track
gines and cars and a little old shop to.
In 1853 the company was reorganized
Santa Fe. From that humble begin
ming the road has grown in the past
fifty years until, as shown in the re-
port read today, it has ten thousand
miles of track and sixty thousand men
on it's payroll. The road is capitalized
now at PIT millions dollars. In 1859
it was capitalized at about $217,000.
President Ripley and party left here
at 2 o'clock this afternoon in their
special train for the southwest. They
will inspect the company lines as far
west as New Mexico, and after trip
over the cutoff and jaunt over the
Texas lines will return to Chicago.

CAN'T MOVE WHEAT.
Shippers Are Offering S1a Cents to
Freight Carriers.

Duluth, Mimi, Oct 28.-A record
price for the carriage of wheat-3k k
cents-was offered at Fort Williams
yesterday, with no takers. The situa-
ton at Fort Williams is unusual and is
causing local grain shippers much
anxiety. Wheat in almost unlimited
Quantities from the Saskatchewan dis
trict is pouring into this port and the
elevator tonnage is nearly exhausted.
At the highest mark of the season
not a single boat could be chartered
for grain. Vessel owners will not ac-
cept the high offer, which is equivalent
10 $1.20 for ore shipments, or SIS per
cent more than boats are getting for
carrying ore.
The best rate of the season at the
local port is three cents on two storage
cargoes of fax from Duluth to Buffalo.
Tonnage for more than a million BUSH
{ Is was chartered at rate which is
equal to nearly $1.20 for ore.

ENGEL HAS LOST OUT.
No Chance for No. 4 in the Aberdeen
Land Drawing.

Sioux City, Ia. Oct. 2s.-A special
to the journal from Washington says:
Land Commissioner J. H. Proud
foot when seen today by the corre-
spondent for the Journal declined to
make ruling on the case of William
Engel of Butte, Neb., who drew No. 1
In the Aberdeen land drawing. in ad-
vance of it's formal presentation to
him, but it was p ointed out at the land
office that under the law on second
homestead entries Engel has little or
no chance of holding his No. 1.
The interior department has held
heretofore that in absence of legisla-
ticn by congress extending homestead
rights the making of one homestead
cEtry exhausts the right and the de-
partment is without authority to allow
a second entry. The act of February
8. 1908, applies only to persons who
m ade entry prior to the passage of
the act, and it does not seem possible
for Engel to relinquish his recent
rripp county entry and file on No. l.
The registers are instructed to reject
second entries which fail to come with
in the purview of the law.

THERE MAY BE OTHERS.
Cebfardt Thought to Have Made Busi-
ness of Marrying Women.

New York, Oct. 28.-Pressure by the
police has already forced from Frederick
Gebhardt, alias Otto Mueller, intima-
tions that he may have done away with
other wives besides Anna Luther, for
whose killing he is now imprisoned at
Islip. L. L, was again applied today to
the man who is believed by the author
tiles to have made a business of marry
ing women and killing them for their
money
The authorities today are working on
the theory that at least three more
crimes like that which Gebhardt COM
nitted at Islip could pe traced to him.
In this connection they are investigating
a story told them that Gebhardt, under
.he name of Mueller had. in 1906. in
6uced his boarding mistress in Jamaica
l. l.. Mrs Mary Katz. to sell out her
boarding house and turn the money
over to him as well as make him the
beneficiary of her life insurance policy.
Three days later she was found dead
in Jersey City and there were no signs
OF Mueller.

GIRL WITH A GUN.
Puts to Flight Gang of Forty Night
Riders.

Lexington, KY, Oct. 2s.--A slender
grill armed with double barreled
shotgun put to fight forty masked
night riders when they crushed down
the door of her fathers house last
night in Mason county.
The mob appeared at the home of
George Kretz, evidently with the in
tention of whipping him, and when en-
trance was refused, the door was
knocked in with an axe and crowbar.
krentz's daughter stood ready with a
loaded shotgun and fred both barrels.
Kretz recognized several riders and is
in conference today with the officers at
Naysville. Several arrests are ex-
pected.
Before appearing at the Kretz
home, the riders went to the farm of a
.,eighbor, Benjamin Longnecker, and
shot through the windows, several bull
.ets narrowly missing members of the
family.
Longnecker is wealthy. He and
Kretz had sold tIeirs tobacco crops to
Independent buyers and had refused to
enter the pool of the Burley Tobacco
society.

COTTON GOES HIGHER.
Advance of $1.25 to $1.35 Per Bale
Above Last Nights Close.

New York, Oct. 2S.-The cotton mar
ket was even more excited than yester-
cay during this mornings trading and
still higher records were made by prices
with December selling at $14.67 and May
at $14.S2. or S1.25 to $1.35 per bale above
the closing figures of last night A big
advance in the Liverpool market, where
small failure was reported, and very
bullish reports from southern SPOT CEN
ters added to bu1lish enthusiasm created
by small estimates of the crop and trad
ing was the most active ever witnessed
on the New York Cotton exchange, ex-
cept possibly that during the Sully year.
Enormous realizing checked the ad-
vance late in the forenoon, but south
western leaders were said to be predict
ing still higher prices and in spite of
heavy demands for margins by local
brokers, outside buying was on a tre-
mendOuS scale.
