Married In Prison,

A strange marriage recently took
place between a young French couple.
M. Louis Jean Savenac and Mile.
Marie Octovier The bride and
bridegroom have received a dowry
from the state. The bridegroom was
awarded on the day of his engage.
ment seven years hard labor; the
bride got two years on the same day.
They met In the passage leading from
the courtroom to the cells and
plighted their troth. They were mar.
ried in one Of the prisons In Paris.
The jailers passed round the hat and
bought them their wedding rings. and
In presenting them TO the happy pair
the governor OF the prison made the
pretty allusion to their condition that
their friends all hoped that these two
little rings would be tho heaviest in
the chain which bound them.

VIII Hold Coyote r ,undup at Manhattan

According to III old timers in Nye
county, this has IN the most severe
winter experienced here for Il years.
They do not recoltrct when the snow
was any deeper or when the weather
had continued as cold as it had up to a
month ago.
The camps of Belmont, Round Mount
ain and Manhattan have experienced a
much greater snowfall than Tonapah.
AS Il proof of this fact, the deep snow
has driven the COYOTES down from the
hills and they have boldly entered the
hen houses of homes in the neighboring
camps and carried off great numbers of
chickens. In a number of cases they
have battled ficrcciy with dogs in the
camps.
A Manhattan IN IN told the reporter
of the Bonanza yesterday that he suf-
fered the loss of several fine chickens
this winter and the citizens of that
town are so incens.'l over the cont inued
depredations of tn" coyotes that they
are planning big roundup, when it is
expected they will reap harvest of
the pests.-Tonopah Bonanza.

Commission Makes New Class Rites

The Nevada Railroad Commission,
consisting of Professor Thurtell, J. F.
Shaughnessy and H. F. Bartine, met in
Carson City on Saturday and ordered a
new interstate rate on classes into effect
on the main line of the Southern
Pacific. These rates will not go into
effect until about thirty days have
elapsed, but when they do go into effect
they will mean big things to the small
dealers and shippers of this state. The
rates will be of especial benefit to the
dealers of Reno. as it will all allow
them to ship into points where they are
unable to compete for trade, says the
Reno Gazette.
The Nevada Railroad Commission
met with the officials of the Southern
Pacific on several occasions prior to
Saturday and tried to have the officials
agree to the rates, but the officials
would agree to nothing. The Commits
ision waited until Saturday and then
ordered the rates into effect.
This change makes a reduction of
about 20 per cent on the first six classes
of class rates, but does not affect the
last four classes. which deal mostly
with the larger shipments. These were
found to be quite fair.
The greatest changes were made in
class rates of the first six classes for the
greater distances. For instance, the
class rates on distances of more than
twenty miles.
The new rate sheet showing these
new>rates is quite extensive and shows
much work on the part of Professor
Thurtell and his associates. In 1907
the business moving under the rates
now reduced amounted to more than
$4,000 and this year it is much
greater.

The ARMOUR EARNINGS

In an interview published yesterday,
Mr.. j. Ogden Armour said that the
recent statement made by his firm, on
which we commented last month, says
an exchange, showed that its net profits
did not exceed 8 per cent on the CAPT tai
Il include in the capital" he added,
the accumulated surplus" On this
basis Mr.. Armours figures are right.
The capital is $50, 900, 900, and the sur
plus $70,0O0,0 600. On this 100000, 900
the net receipts were a trifie over
$7,000,000, which is less than 9 per cent.
But where did the tremendous surplus
of $10,000,000, accumulated in ten
years, come from? Manifestly, ont of
earnings. And the earnings came out
of the people who have been paying the
high prices for beef. If corporation
were permitted to count as earnings
only what it declared i'll dividends, it
could arrange matters so as to show no
earnings simply by refusing to declare
dividends.
For the year ending October % last
the ArmourS showed net earnings of
S7,121,000, and this was above all adj
lninistrative expenses. including inter
est. 1t is said that the company has
not been i'll the habit of paying divi-
dendS, but that its net earnings have
been passed to surplus. In ten years
this surplus has been built up to So
OOO.OOO. that is, it has grown at the
rate of $1,000 600 year. just about the
amount of the net earnings for the last
year. Thus the company has earned
above everything %10,0O0,OOO in ten
years. or more than three times the
amount OF its capital For ten years
its net earnings have been 35 per cent
each year on its actual capital.
If Mr.. Armour chooses to add the
surplus to the capital when he figures
his earnings, that is his privilege. No
one cares what he does with his earn
inSs. He may use them to pay divi-
dends. use them to swell his surplus or
increase his capital. But they are
earnings just the same. And when he
figures his rate of earnings on this
basis he is figuring earnings on earn
1ngs. The swelled surplus and the
increased capital have been built up
out of the prices which the people paid
for his prodcut. This is what has
happened in the case of the steel trust.
Its property is now probably worth it's
capitalization. But the people who
have paid its prices have given to the
property its added value. So with the
Armour case. The people do not care
what the Armours do with their earn.
ings. All they are Interested in is that
they be recognized as earnings, no
matter what is done with them. IF the
Armours should increase their capital
to $l00,000,000 in order to make the
rate on the investment seem less
exhorbitant, it would still be true that
the capital had been built up out of
net earnings. The money that is
used to increase the capital IL not sub
scribed by the stockholders is
furnished by every consumer of beef
and pork who uses the Armour pro-
ducts.
It Is to be observed that Mr.. Armour
does not attempt to dodge behind the
distinction between dividends and
earnings. For in his interview he says,
not that the dividends were o per cent,
but that the net receipts were 9per cent.

OVER
ILLNESS

Don't criticise the doctor because u
medicine prescribed by him fails to have
the desired effect. The prescription
may have been good, but the ingre-
dsents dispensed poor. Give the doctor
a fair show by taking his prescription
to druggist who makes point of dis
pensing only pure drugs of right po-
tency-drngs that have the power to
overcome illness.
Tested drugs only are used here, and
skilled pharmacists do the compound

Roosevelt, Bryan and Religion.

Although unable to be present. Mir. Roosevelt remembered the worlds mis- sionary conference, now in session at Edinburgh, and sent a letter indorsing the movement in the warmest terms. His sentimeuts were received with much enthusiasm. MT. Bryan is a delegate and present at the meeting. Presumably he too is in full sympa- thy with the business in hand, and disposed to assist in work not i'm properly described as gigantic. Sup pose these two men-let us say young men-should decide to retire from pol itics and devote the remainder of their days to this order of religious activ- tty. Would not the missionary cause be greatly assisted?
 { The religious spirit is strong in Mr. Bryan In fact, some of his adrnfrere. much as they admire him as a poH- tician, are not so certain that he would not have been more attractive in the pulpit than he has been on the stump His best lecture is on a religious sub ject. and in politics he leans strongly and even extremely to what are called the moral issues On the question of the saloon he is far more preacher member and attendant, Mir. Roosevelt is not associAbie with the pulpit He lacks equipment for the place. He has no oratorica1 graces. and while fI1i1 of matter presents 4 uneveuiy as to form and olearness. But he is all ardor~ in any cause he embraces, and to a cause of euch scope and purpose as the lifting of backward people to a higher plane of usefulness and en- toyment he would bring vnuch inspara- Star.

Odd Character Brings Modification
 Upon We'll to Do Relatives.

The Waterbury American says: De- claring that he would not have his dead brother declared a town pauper, Thomas H. Goodspeed, whose brother. Phi1ander P. Goodspeed, who died the other day at the Brookside home, on Monday demanded from Superintend- ent of the Poor Henry w. Atwood a bill covering the entire expenses of the man while at the institution MT. Atwood has promised to make out d bill, and the brother of the dead man is very anxious to wipe out all obIiga- tions to the city. The body will be taken to Allston. Mass, for burial
 MT. Goodspeed. who is president of the Athol National bank at Athol, Mass, came to Waterbury Sunday upon being notified of his brothers death, and is now staying at The El- ton. Until he received the telegram Saturday night telling him of tthe death of his brother, he had not heard from him in 20 years. and had long believed him dead.
 Goodspeed, who was A years of age, was we'll known here for many years as an expert watch reDairer and jeweler. When he came here from Providence some eight years ago he entered the employ of Lake & Strobel of being a fine workman and Q very silent man about his past There was always a mystery connected with him.
 A reW years ago, aIter anotner stay in Provide nee, Goodspeed went to work for the Waterbury Clock com pany. where he was employed until last fall, when he became too i'll to work. Finally his money gave out and on Christmas>e the old man was sent to the Brookside home, where his unhappy life ended last Thursday.
 Through his brother and from other sources it was learned that GoodSpeed's wife and two grownup daughter, one of whom Is married, are living at All ston Mass. He left them at Laconia, Mass. 10 or Is years ago, and they have heard nothing of him since. The brother of the dead man said that the latter was one of the most retfcept men he ever knew, an opinion which the local acquaintaaces of the man seem to share

Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women I am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter. "-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY, R.F. D., Graniteviile, Vt.
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, alteration, local weak nesses, fbroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs. Barclay says it is worth noun tains of gold ? to suffering women.
