viii Finish Moffat Road.

Denver-So far as the Moffat road
is concerned. Wall street--or that
large faction thereof which has ac-
knowledged the control of the Harri-
man railroads and allied INTEREST,"
has buried the hatchet and the com
pletion of the Moffat road through to
Salt Lake City is In sight. Coincident
with the tacit agreement to withdraw
all opposition to the financing of the
Moffat road and the resultant compile
ton of that road through the virgin
empire OF western Routt county and
eastern Utah. the Union Pacific and
the Moffat road have reached an
agreement whereby the Union Pacific
is to handle all traffic the Moffat road
may see fit to turn its way, and un-
der very satisfactory arrangement.
This is in marked contrast to the
stand taken by the Union Pacific and
allied lines regarding the Moffat road.
and to the obstacles placed in the
way of the financing OF the road dur
ing the lifetime OF +. II. Hartman.
This reported cessation OF subtle hos
ullties has been brought about
through the efforts OF President VIII
liam G.. Evans and Vice President and
General Manager ID. c. Dodge. who
recently spent several days with the
leading ilnanciers and railroad men Of
the East MIR. Evans still is in New
York closing deal whereby 100000
OF the s4.000.O00 note issue of the
Colorado Utah Construction Company
will be taken up and interest and com
missions paid. and s3,500.0oo notes re-
naming extended for one year. this
leaving approximately a 100000 bal
ance from the subscriptions pledged
at the time OF the reorganization of the
Moffat road.

ONE ON THE OLD GENTLEMAN
Absolute Fact Destroyed Force Of
Well-Meant Argument for
Temperance.

On pleasant Sunday afternoon an
old German and his youngest son
were seated in the village inn. The
father had partaken literally of the
home-brewed beer. and was warning
his son against the evils Of intem-
perance. Never drink too much. my
son. A gentleman stops when he
has enough. To be drunk IL q dis
grace"
Yes. father. but how can I tell
when have enough or am drunk?"
The old man pointed with his fin-
ger. DO you see those two men sit
ing in the corner? II you should
see four men there. you would be
drunk"
The boy looked long and earnestly.
Yes. father. but-but-there is only
one man in that corner."-Lippin-
colts.

Nothing Doing but Talk.

The following is told of federal
official, formerly a senator of the
United States from Kentucky.
In the days Of his youth the ken-
tuckian was asked by friend to SEQ
ond him in duel. He consented. and
at sunrise the parties met at the ap-
pointed place.
Now 1t was this Kentuckian's duty
to say the last words touching the
terms of the duel. But. although he
faithfully performed this duty. the
duel never took place.
A murmur OF why not?" invariably
goes round whenever this story 10
told. whereupon the answer IL ~ fol-
lows:
For a very simple reason When
Joe finished speaking 1t was too dark
for a duel"-Chicago Journal.

LUCKY MISTAKE.
Grocer Sent Pkg. Of Postum and
Opened the Eyes Of the Family.

A lady writes from Brookline. Mass:
"A package of Postum was sent me
one day by mistake.
"I notified the grocer. but finding
that there was no coffee for breakfast
next morning I prepared some Of the
Postum. following the directions very
carefully.
ut was an immediate success In my
family, and from that day We have
used 1t constantly. parents and chill
dren. too-for my three rosy young
sters are allowed to drink 1t freely at
breakfast and luncheon. They think It
delicious, and i would have n mutiny
on my hands should ! omit the be-
loved beverage.
MY husband used to have a very
delicate stomach while we were using
coffee, but to our surprise his stom-
ach has grown strong and entirely well
since we quit coffee and have been on
Postum.
Noting the good effects in my fam
lily l wrote to my sister, who was =
coffee topper. and after much persua-
sion got her to try Postum.
"She was prejudiced against It at
first. but when she presently found
that all the ailments that coffee gave
her left and she got well quickly she
became and remains a thorough and
enthusiastic Postum convert.
Her nerves, which had become
shattered by the use Of coffee have
grown healthy again. and today she IL

Washington. - Attorney General
Wickersham has about completed his
inquiry into the National City Com
pany. the corporation recently formed
by the directors of the National City
bank of New York to hold bank stocks.
1t is understood he will send re-
port to Secretary MacVeagh saying
whether the transgression of the ma
tional bank law is involved
Upon Secretary MacVeagh's action
will largely depend the future attitude
of the government toward concentra-
ton of the banking capital OF large
cities through the medium of so-called
security companies
The question in the case OF the Ma
tional City Company is said to be sub
stantially paralleled in other cities
and 1t is said the Department OF JUS
tice has taken cognizance of the
First Trust Company, reported to be
the security company of the First
National bank OF Chicago. and the
FIRST Security Company. said to have
been created by the First National
bank OF New York.
Records in the office of the comp
troller of the company are said to
show the existence OF nearly 300 siini-
lar corporations throughout the coun-
try. OF which the Department of JUS
tice did not know when II began its
inquiry in the National City Com
pany.
l, is hinted in the treasury that Mr..
Wickersham's report Will be unfav-
orabic to the security company idea
unless there is bona flde disassocia.
ton OF the banks and the companies.
Secretary MacVcaghs action upon
the attorney generals report Will
hinge upon whether he believes the
National City Company to be bona
fide corporation. disassociated from
the National City bank or merely a
device OF that institution to hold
stocks in other national banks. Gov.
ernment agents who inquired into the
National City Company reported that
1t appeared to be closely linked with
the National City bank. and that only
stockholders In the National City bank
could be stockholders in the company.
The company issued no shares OF
stock. but indorsed ownership upon
the certificates OF the bank.
LcsE than a week ago government
officers learned that the organization
of the National City Company had
been completed and that the banl;
shares and other stocks which II was
formed to hold had been transferrel
TO II. II was said that those transfers
included the shares of stock which di
rectors OF the National City bank have
been holding in other institutions In
New York and other cities. which con
stituted what is popularly referred tc
as National City bank CONTROL
The directors OF the National CITY
bank had been holding the stocks IN
their own names. but 1t was generally
reported In banking circles that they
held them for their bank.
II had been represented to the gov
ernment that the First Security Com
pany of New York in the same way
holds bank stocks for the First Ma
tIonal bank. and that the First Trus
Company OF Chicago does the sam,
service for the First National banl
there.
