the directors of the Credit -Mobilier and contracted with themselves to build the rnad across the continent from the Mis- soGri river to the Pacific ocean. They agteed to pay five times as much as the work was worth. Thus they lost as stockholders in the railroad, but gained fivefold as much as stockholders of the construction company. The stockholders of the roads, not in the deal suffered.
 That sort of stealing was not confined tn the Credit Mobiler gang The oil trust did It. The Steel trust does it, and the meat trust can do it, and thousands of Us believe 1t does do it. They tell the farmer who grows grain or tobacco or cotton in great abundance that he is a cattle breeder If he has on his place hall dozen yearling calves. He is no such thing; but if the meat trust is a ol per cent stockholder of the cattle com ps mics it can fix the price of a steer at W hat it pleases. and that price controls in the sale of every little bunch of cat tle the farmer raises
 Why. it was shown that Armour makes q dividend above 9 per cent annually, and we may be sure that other beef tr9st cormorants make as much They do it by fixing the price of every hoof of live stock that is sent to market and ihen they fix the price of every mouth ful of meat that goes down tho throat of every citizen of every urban community.
 Free meats would sorely cripple the beef titst. but the standpatters and Senator Bailey forbid free meats.

THE SOCIAL CALENDAR

Very sweet and impressive was the
 marriage ceremonXs last evening of Miss Corinne Somfners and MT. D. U. Frank @ of Muscoge. Okla. Because of the very | recent loss of the brides father, MT.
 M. Sommer, it was a quiet nuptal serv- i've but also for this reason, there was an added solemnity and sacredness in the vows In every detail the cere- | money was simple, and the few decora- tions which made the rooms an ap- propriate bridal setting, were chosen with taste while bespeaking desire to avoid ostentation. Plants and greenery were gracefully distributed and in the reception room, where the wedding service was read, an arbor of greens
 with white flowers, made pretty back : ground for the little bridal party. | There was no music, and the young couple were attended bnly by maid of
 honor and best man. Miss Clarce Som mer, the pretty sister of the bride, preceded her to the altar. She looked
 very youthful and sweet in white
 marquisette robe grace. gully embroid cred and carrying a great sheaf of white sroses MT. Franke entered with
  cogee. Okla, and met his bride, who
 was given in marriage by her uncle. Mir. J. Ellinger, at the arbor in the al- cove which suggested an altar. pr. Morris Newfeld pronounced the mar
 riagc service.
 Miss Sommer wore wedding robe of white embroidered crepe de chine, en train, and garnitured with duchesse lace. Her veil, which was the length of her gown, was caught about the head
 in a sap effect, and encircled with, wreath of valley lilies, and her bou- quet was of roses and lilies of the val
 ley in great shower. She was an ex
 trcmely lovely bride. her big brilliant eyes, bright color and rich, pretty hair, showing with fine effect in contrast to the filmy whiteness of her bridal at tire. Since her debut two seasons ago she has been considered one of the beauties of her set, but never has she been more admired than as bride. She is lovable, charming girl and as one
 with many social graces she will be an acquisition in the city wherein she will make her home.
 Mrs. Sommers received her guests
 wearing a simple black crepe de chine gown. There were only a few of the very close friends of the family in addition to the relatives included in
 the invitation to the wedding, and the informal reception which followed. MT
 and Mrs Franke left on the night train for the west. They will visit Yellow- stone park and spend short time in Colorado Springs. returning to Mus cogee late in September. They will be- gin housek coping in a charming rest

 From county to county, from state to state" said Miss Kelly" the enthusiasm has been remarkable. Every child is in- terested.

Tricks of Athletes
Columbian Magazine

From the Columbian Magazine.
 Personally, I am not in the habit of using tricks to win races. There are many instances, however, of where tricks have been used Certain athletes go to every extreme to win. Like ball players. many have the superstition against competing in a clean uniform, claiming that is hard luck" A friend, newspaper man, who has studied ath- letes closely, recently gave me a list of peculiar tricks that he had jotted down as they came to his notice at the differ ent meets I also have noted these old customs, but they are best told by the reporter. To-wit
 Athletes always develop a. lot of the ories about little tricks that may help them to win. About as old a system as any was that of a college broad jumper whose name Is on the list of intercolle- giate champions This man was not a smoker. so that an occasional puff of a cigarette made him nervous. In order to induce this feeling of agitation he was accustomed to light a cigarette a moment or so before he went on the field for his jumping.
 "He contended that man had to be on edge to be either good sprinter or a good jumper. and that even if his feelings of slight agitation were induced by smoking, 1t was, notwithstanding, a good thing. He said, In fact, that he rarely could get any sort of gingery feel ing before the competition if he didn't get himself worked up artificially that way
 Another man, who was more or less successful quarter-miler, both as col legian and club athlete, nerved himself up for the start of his races by swearing profusely at himself He had the idea that if he got thoroughly angry at him. self and swore a lot, it would take his mind off the race that was about to star.
 Consequently the men who were on the marks next to him on each side were likely to hear some half-muttered curses and profane words that they might think were meant for them Tn fact, this athlete had to explain more than one occasion after a race that he wasn't

 He handed to the police a neatly writ ten record Of these burglaries, and pointed out that the estimated value of the stolen goods was in each case noted against The address and the date.
 For the last five years he said. "T have committed a burglary nearly every night. with the exception of Sat urday night. when people had way of being at home" He added that he had e comfortable sum of money and some valuable jewels in a safe place where the police would not find them, and that therefore he went to prison happily.

To Guard Bank of England

London, June 3.-(Special. .)-The guard which watch by night the a5O,0OoOoo or $250, ,000, 900 thereabouts at the banks of England will in future be drawn from the Guards battalion at the Tower instead of from Chelsea or Wellington barracks as in the past. This change will revive the picturesque old custom of the Guards marching to the bank to take up their quarters for the night. The procession used to be one of the interesting sights of the London evening, but in recent years the Guards. having a considerable distance to travel in congested streets, have adopted the quicker and prosaic method of transit by railway. The GUS tom of guarding the bank by Garrison dates from 17S0
