WEEDS HIS cHUM's STEPMoTHER.
Mrs. James OIphant, Widow, Bride of
Georqe Beach.

New York, March 21.-Mrs. James
II. Oliphant, widow of James H. Oil
plant, the banker who was murdered
in his Office three years ago, was
quietly married March to George
Cameron Beach, Cornell, 1901, law
yer of Manhattan. The bridegroom
was a classmate and close friend of
James Norris Oliphant, stepson OF
Mrs. Oliphant, and it was through
the friendship leach is about 33 years
of age), that Mr.. Beach became ac-
quainted with Mrs. Oliphant. There
is little difference in the ages of the
couple, as Mrs. Oliphant was consid-
erably younger than her first husband.
The death of Mrs. ELEPHANTS first
husband was tragic affair. DR..

fort, S. c., who had been trading with
the Oliphant firm, murdered Mr.. Oil

there is a great diversity Hats are

Some of the aigrettes are fastened to
the very back of the hat and the effect

broader. But any number of little

general air of the petite Franchise, but
they will probably make the dignitied,
elongated English or American appear
ridiculous and badly dressed.
Hips are no wider. Corsets are
laced at the bottom to draw in hips,

Drebert Saws It's Untrue,

Norfolk, Neh, March 10. - Editor
News: | note in your issue of yester-
day that Travelling Freight Agent But
Ter of the c. & N. w. Ry. was here to
obtain material for folder, and that
he stated that the information he re-
quired should have been furnished
some time ago by the former agent
here, and in consequence of said fail
ure of the agent to perform his duty,
he (Mr. Butler) was obliged to come
here and do this work himself.
AS this is a reflection upon me, per-
sonalIv, implying tnat | was derelict
in performing my duties while en-
ployed as agent for the G. & n. w.
railway here, ] wish to state most
earnestly and emphatically that there
is not a shred of truth in such state
ment, if Mr.. Butler made it as report
ed, and nothing ever happened in my
conduct of the business of this station
to justify or furnish foundation for
such an aspersion against me as a
faithful servant of the company ! rep

The records of the station, the of.
ticers of the c. & n. w. railway com.

public who transacted business with
me will be willing, | think, to say

RAILWAY TALK IN DAKOTA
Spring Activity Shown IN Some
Localities.

Pierre, S. D., March 21.- Special:
Last fall all the different railroads
working into the northwest showed
unusual activity in the matter of pre-
liminary work, and it was freely pre-
dicted that the coming of warm wealth
er this year would mean an increase in
the activity which would be directed
follow up the preliminary work which
was rushed along last fall and in the
early winter. But while the snow is
gone from the prairies, and the indi-
cations are for an early and open
spring, the anticipated activity is only
being shown in spots. The long, Sc
we're winter. with it's storms and heavy
operating expense, and the reduction
of revenues by delayed freights, has
apparently put chill into the heads
of the different roads, which even the
warm days that have prevailed through
this month have not yet entirely dis
PEELED.
The work of the Northwestern sys-
TEN at the present appears to be cen
tered on the Blunt-Gettysburg and the
Belle Fourche extensions. Material is
being rapidly forwarded to Belle
Fourche for the construction work on
that line out into the territory covered
with the Belle Fourche irrigation pro
ject, and the twenty-five miles will
without doubt be pushed through early
this summer. This line will reach out
through the country which will be de-
veloped into small irrigated farms, and
will have a heavy patronage from its
opening. This line will very likely be
in operation by early in the summer.
The line from Hitchcock to Onida, to
connect with the Blunt Gettysburg
| line at Onida, is evidently in partial
eclipse. The engineering force has
been withdrawn from Hitchcock, and
material which was intended for that
| line is being taken to Blunt and Belle
Fourche, but that line will very likely
be given more attention later in the
summer. The connection between the
Pierre Rapid City line and that extend
ing east from Belle Fourche is also al
a standstill, all the work being held up
on that after keeping engineers out or
the locating lines almost up to Chri t.
mas. Neither does there appear to be
any activity shown on the extension
| liminary work last fall, and which is
believed to be a part of the connection
ON Dallas, which was finished as pre-
| to the Belle Fourche line.
The Milwaukee road, which graded
two lines across the Cheyenne river
reservation last fall, will probably rust
work on it's north branch out into the
Thunder Butte country early this spring
for the handling of settlers on the new
ly opened lands, and will likely finisf
their southern line along Fox Ridge
later in the season, with all indication!
of the southern line waiting until tn,
northern one is completed before an!
move is made to the south.
The Minneapolis and St Louis doe
not appear to be making any specia
efforts toward continuing the worl
west of the Missouri from lie Beau thi

New York, March 2l.-AnnOunce-
ment was made by the Shuberts yes
terday that hereafter no more passes
will be issued for the Shubert thea
tiers, not only in New York, but
throughout the United States. This
step was taken, they say, because
the privilege has been abused. Not
only members of the theatrical pro-
fession, but railroad men, tradesmen
and others who came in contact with
the heads of theatrical enterprises
have been in the habit of asking for
courtesies.
Professional courtesies will be elm
mated along with other passes, Pro-
fessional matinees of all the Shubert
plays will be given, however at which
members of the theatrical profession
will be welcome.
1t has been discovered, the Shuberts
say, that the signatures of the heads
of different departments have been
forged to number of passes.

COAL TAR.
Enormous Production and Value Of
This Material and Its By-Products.

VIZ y - Aff4 40
Coal tar, as the raw material from
aniline dyes and innumerable organic
chemical compounds and medicinal
preparations, is OF much more eco
nomicaI Importance in some European
countries than In the United States.
This country Is considerably in the
rear, particularly when compared with
Germany, in the development OF chem
ical Industries based on coal tar, the
products Of which are imported into
the United States to the value of sew
eral million dollars every year. At
this time coal tar manufacture In the
United States is confined principally
TO the production Of %creosote and of
tars and tar pitches suitable for roof
ing papers. paving materials and like
prducts. With the continued devei-
opment of the retort-oven coking in
dustry, however, and an assured sup
ply Of coal tar there is every reason
to believe that chemical industries de-
pendent on tar as a raw material will
be established. The lack of such a
use for n Of the principal by-prod-
ucts of retort-oven coke manufacture
is one reason why the construction of
b~y-product oven plants has not been
more energetically pushed in this
country.
The otal production of coal tar in
1907 as reported to the Geological
Survey by ass companies, was 103,-
577.760 gallons, valued at $2,651,527,
as against a production of 8~0,022,043
gallons, valued at s~2,176,944, reported
in 1905 by SCI companies; from which
it appears, while the production of
coal tar increased 2"3,555,171 gallons,
or 20 per cent, the value increased
only $474,5S3, or % per cent,-Boston

PosToFF!cEs ON THE MOVE.
Army of Men and Millions Of Money
Required For Railway Mails.

One of the greatest advances ever
made in the postal service was the
origination of the travelling postoffice.
This was started in 1862, and has de-
yeloped and grown into the modern
railway mail service.
This railway mail service directs
the dispatch of all mails, determines
the routes over which they shall be
carried, and distributes them en- route,
so they are ready for delivery TO Of
fees along the line, and in some
cases makes separations for city de-
livery upon arrival at large terminals,
To conduct this service there are 49,
295 officers and clerks employed in
it at a cost of over $4,000, 900 a year,
The railway postoflce lines cover
POS ,4S1 miles OF steam, electric and
steamboat lines.
The training of the railway postal
clerk is required by constant study OF
the names and locations of postofices
and the schemes of distribution, and
by the performance of his duties. His
vocation is a hazardous one. Last
year six clerks were killed, 104 SER
iously and $50 slightly injured in 4O5
railroad accidents.
Where this distribution space need
ed exceeds thirty feet of a car, the Of
fee authorizes the company to furnish
a specially built railway postoffice car
and allows additional pay for it. The
cost of this car service is over $4,000
600 a year.-May National Magazine.
