mistaken for deer, bear or woodchucks.
In speaking of the opening OF the

IN hunters supplies had a brisk trade
in red flannel shirts and red sweaters,
which were of such brilliant hues that
the squad of big game hunters looked
like q regiment of Garibaldrs patriots.
The red shirts and the red caps are to

which IS to be pushed and to lessen
the chances as much as possible Of be-

HEINZ AGENTS SEARCH FOR
PROMISING PICKLE SOIL

Pierre, S. D., Oct. 24.-It is expected
that a representative Of the Heinz
Pickle company will visit this section
In the near future with view of ex-
aiming the vicinity as a suitable To-
cation for pickle factory or sailing
station. There will be a very large
acreage put under water here next
year, which will be largely increased IL
there is suitable market for the prod
ucts. With a pickle factory here, the
land would be planted to cucumbers,
tomatoes. and other crops requiring
large expenditure Of labor. If there
Is not such a market the crops will be
alIalfa, corn and small grains. for
which there is always a ready mar
ket.
The Missouri river bottom lands are
regarded as specially adaptable to irri-
cation, laying low along the stream,
ana consisting OF from IL to % feet Of
made soil so that their fertility ia prac-
tically inexhaustible.

MRS. PANKHURST IS
 SUFFRAGE MODEL

New York, June I-(Special.)-''Mrs Pankhurst has the best brain for state craft in England today. Within 50 years expect to see the English government under the control of women."
 These were the rather remarkable statements made by Mrs. Gertrude Ath- erton, the novelist on her arrival yester- day on the Amerikai
 "As for women gaining the vote In England" continued Mrs. Atherton, that is a foregone conclusion. Women are coming to the front in public life and in the future they will deal with the important political questions as they arise
 '.The reasons for womens progress everywhere is a simple one. She has more leisure than she ever had before. Families are smaller and she has less to look after in the home. Moreover, the labor saving devices that she Is able to use in the conduct of her home ada to this share of leisure.
 This has given women time to study and this means that she has time to de- velop her brain. The average woman's brain is now quite as good as that Of the average man. Tl.e average man's brain doesn't amount to very much and if it is said that the average woman is a fool, why the average man is certainly not much better

CUPID BREAKS UP
 GREAT ARTIST TRIO

Philadelphia. June 4.-(Special )--And the walls and lamentations of her two fellow artists, Miss Elizabeth Shippen Green, the noted illustrator yesterday was married to Huger Elliott, director of the Rhode Island School of Design. The wedding breaks up romance which has lasted for the past eight years, in which three of the best known women artists in the country were the actors.
 Eight years ago Mrs. Elliott who was married yesterday Miss Violet Oakley, who won distinction through her work on the state capitol building at Harris burg, and Miss Jessie Wilcox Smith, whose delineations of children are uni versally loved, formed co-partnership. one of the articles of agreement being that no man should enter the sacred portal of their home to separate these three artistic bachelor girls.
 For eight years they have lived to- gether and for seven years the agree ment regarding mankind was kept re- ligousy. But few months ago the serpent entered this Garden of Eden and charmed the fairest of its flock. The wooing was short and ardent. It cumi- hated a few days ago when Miss Green announced she was about to be married. Protestations from her two friends was spontaneous. They both told her of the old bargain so long kept They pleaded with her; fthey used all their persuasive powers to show what a happy life they had for eight years, and they did every thing to make her change her mind re- garding her marriage to MT. Elliott. But she was adamant. She said she loved him and she declared she was tired of single lonesomeness. She had promised Mr. Elliott she would be his wife and she meant to keep her word.
 The wedding took place yesterday at Cogslea. 'rhe Home of Three Wom- an Artists" Miss Oakley and Miss Smith were there. With tears coursing down their cheeks they watched through the ceremony which breaks up the happy ia mily.

STOCK MARKETS
 QUITE CONFIDENT Temporary Chill Followed
 Trust Decisions VIEW IS CHANGED Prefer Definiteness in Meaning of the Law to Uncertainty Which
 Preceded Supreme Court
 Decision
VIEW IS CHANGED

New York, June 4-The stock market issued from the events of last week with a strong manifestation of confidence and hopefulness There was temporary emu of apprehension on Wednesday, which was the first session after the decision In the American Tobacco case and the com prehensive reduction of steel prices. These events seemed jointly to be responsible for the weakness, but a revised interpreta- ton of the two, as well as some suple- mentary influences were concerned In the vigorous advance later.
 American Tobacco stock broke violently after the supreme court decision, while Standard oil stock rose after the final rui- ing in it's case had been made. The req son was that the Standard Oil decision, with it's stress on the light of reason, in applying the statute was taken to inn ply some limitation of its scope while the further reasoning in the Tobacco case decision pointed to a more comprehensive application of the laws provisions. An impression formed from the Standard Oil decision that it would be feasible to re- unlIe the COTQOIdtiOU uliAAs, eiiciOpS N'N solved into new and equally effective form. was distinctly modified by the fresh judicial commentary contained in the new decision. The new view was strengthened by the intimations of intended criminal of offenders under the law.
 Whatever anxiety was caused by tbis view seemed to give way before the con viction that defniteness now secured In the meaning and application of the law was preferable to uncertainty There followed a recovered confidence that con servation or even enhancement of actual values would result.
 Occurrences in the steel trade were re- garded in similar spirit of broad inter- pretation. Speculation looked beyond the immediate effect of the cut in price which at first was reported as checking rather than stimulating the demand and assumed that the lowered prices must inevitably invite fresh buying.
 Authorization by the Great Northern railway of first and refunding mortgage for s6OO, O,0OO.OO0 at A per cent had pro nounced effect on speculation.
 Announcement of the project at this time seemed to bespeak confidence in present conditions on the part of the man. agement of the Hill roads, a fact which had considerable weight in the formation of more hopeful sentiment.
 The position of railroad stocks was strengthened by April reports, which showed that effective measures had been taken to curtail expenditures. Lack of adequate moisture for the best prospects of the grain caused some solicitude but without perceptble effect on stocks. ne high promise for the new cotton crop contained in the government report was A helpful factor.
