Darius Miller Of the Northern Pacific

Of the bar there.
I'm 1880 he was in Chicago and became

Company.
He left that corporation in 1905 to be

the General. To a man who knew his
fine mental qualities 1t Is not strange that
even In death his mind was the strongest

comfort the wife he loved 50 greatly that
caused him to defy death till he had said
