MILLIONS WANTED
FROM GOVERNMENT
N. X. & T. Railroad Has Brought
Suit Against United States
for Large Sum.

HANNIBAL, Mo, Sept ga suit
against the United States for $61 ,287.-
500 probably will be tried by the
United States court of claims during
the coming winter. This suit, which
is one OF the largest ever brought
against the government. was institut-
ed some time ago by the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroad company,
one of the land grant railroads, by the
filing of petition in the United States
court of claims, in which it was al
legged that by acts of congress the
United States had agreed to convey
to it the fee simple title to every ell
ternate section of land to the extent
of ten sections per mile on each side
of its line through the Indian Terri
tory and Kansas, and that subsequent.
ly many of these lands had been
decided to the Indians In severalty
and had otherwise been disposed of,
to the great loss of the railroad com
pany. In it's petition the company
prays than account may be taken
to ascertain the value and extent OF
its land grants improperly and wrong
fully taken from 1t by governmental
authority and that Judgment be rem
dered for the amount stated.

DIVER DISCOVERS
SUBMARINE WORMS
Are Under the Water and
Cause Decay.

CLINTON, Iowa, Sept. 23.-Engin-
eer Green, OF Green Bay, who is plac-
ing dynamite under the cribs which
supported the old bridge of the Chica-
go and Northwestern, recently wreck
ed, discovered that myriads of worms
had attached themselves to the tim
bers far below the low water line, and
had eaten into the wood. The worm
is half an inch long and white. Speci-
mems has been sent to the company's
Offices in Chicago and probably will go
to the university there for examina-
ton. 1t is believed by Engineer Frank
Brainbridge, in charge of the con-
struction company's new bridge
acrosss the Mississippi, that the dis
covery will attract national attention
and may revolutionize the method OF
under water construction, as no worm
of the kind was ever before known tc
exist in fresh water.

Parsons Magazine for October
what women will do when they vote.
She tells how men will certainly lead
different lives. For one thing,
there will be law that will compel
the publication Of mems names
after certain indiscretions (she
takes issue with DR.. Parkhurst),
another law will give to women
some privileges which men seem
to think peculiarly their own, and
there will be other laws equally
awful-for some men. This is
the first definite statement by
distinguished suffragette Of what
women think their votes will do for
the country. 1t is notable article

Oil Magnate Tells Story of Own
Foresighteddess in Big Z
Iron Transaction. :

: John D.sRockefeller has told for the
first time how he made aicrear hundred
million dollars after. he found himself,
by accident and uniformed, launched
IN the iron-ore trade sts,,sss>r-
Mr.. Rockefeller's plain narrative. as
IT appears in the new number of the
Worlds Work, describes the huge trans
actions simply, He tells the facts in
these words:
Going into the iron-ore fields was one
OF those experiences in which one inds
oneself rather against the Will, for 1t
was not a deliberate plan of mine to
extend my cares and responsibilities.
MY connection with iron ores came
about through some unfortunate invest
ments in the Northwest country.
These interests had included a good
many different Industries. mines, steel
mills. pape mills, a nail factory. rail-
roads, lumber fields. smelting properties
and other Investments about which |
have now forgotten. / WAS a, minority
stakeholder In all these enterprises and
had no part in their management.
Among these investments were some
shares In a number OF ore mines and
an interest In the stocks and bonds OF
q railroad being built to carry the ore
from the mines to lake ports. We had
great faith in these mines, but to work
them the railroad was necessary. IT
had been begun, but in the panic OF
1898 1t and all other developments were
nearly ruined.
Il had to loan my personal securities
to raise money, and finally we were
compelled to supply a great deal of
actual cash, and to get II we were
Obliged to &c into the then greatly upset
money market and buy currency at h
high premium TO ship West by express
TO pay the laborers on the railroad and
to keep them alive.
When we realized thai events were
shaping themselves SO that to proteer
our investments we should be Obliged
to go into the business of selling in a
large way, we felt that we must not
stop short of doing the work as effee-
lively as possible; aid, having already
put Ia SO much money, we bought all
the ore land that we thought was good
mat was offered to us. The railroad
and the ships We're only a means to an
end. The ore lands were, the crux OF
the whole matter, and we believed that
we could never have too many good
mines.'' = -
And two years later the United States
steel Corporation came along and
bought the Rockefeller iron ore mines
and aeet of lake steamers for about
$780, 900. Ooo.
