were dead and that she had been at
tending school In the south but had
run away because her guardian wanted
her to marry man she did not care
for. She stated that she had consider

school she mentioned in the south could
not be located, and her story was not

of the girl came here and the two
left on the next train for their home. I
Miss Dalton's real name is Schnee

Result Of lorestandirs Plans.
The rumor that the Great Northcrn
proposes to take over the Northern
Pacifics interest in the Burlington was
ascribed in some quarters as the rea-
son for spectacular rises of as much
as eight points in the Northern Pacific
stock In December, and is also said to
be connected with recent reports CT
negotiations between the northwest
ern and Northern Pacific for thru pas
senger car service to the Pacific
coast The Northern Pacidc's thru
trains run between Chicago and St.
Paul over the tracks Of the Burlington.
G. W. Bum. general counsel OF the
Northern PACIFIC at st. Paul. was in

the Burlington attorneys during the
day at Mr.. Miller's office here. and
Howard Elliott. president Of the
Northern Pacific. was visitor here on
his return from New York on Satur-
day. Mr.. Miller, however, declined to
entertain the reports OF a merger.
Burlington Pays For Itself.
The purchase of the Burlington by
the two roads in 1901 actually paid
for itself, as the Burlington stock was
acquired at 5000 a share and ex-
changed for double the amount of coll
lateral trust bonds paying 4 per cent.
while the Burlington stock has paid 8

Lessr Worries For Three Days and

Containing Wealth Found on Lsves
BY Employer Of Unfortunate Man
Wants to Divide With Finder.

Davenport, June 1.-After having
been three days and three nights with
out wink OF sleep for worry because
of the loss OF what was to him for
tune. Ira e. Brown, an employe of the
Rock Island Sand & Gravel Company,
has been restored at last to his former
state of mind. and probably feels much
better now than ever before. Last
week, Thursday to be exact, while at
work he lost $3.50, which he had been
carrying around In a tobacco pouch
hi his pocket. When he discovered his
loss he became frantic and searched
madly in every nook and corner that
he could think OF. Finally, despair1nS
OF ever finding the money, he confided
his loss to several friends, but they
put little credence in his story
The amount seemed fabulous sum
to Brown, and represented months of
the hardest kind of labor. He had al
most given up In despair when his
money was restored to him..
And this Is how 1t came about: Fred
q. Gall. who is manager OF the con-
Germ for which Brown works. was
walking along the levee near Seven
tee1th street Thursday when he kick
ed an object. He picked 1t up and
seeing that II was r. tobacco pouch
was about to throw it away. He
thought better of the move, and open
ed the pouch. To say that its con-
tents surprised him is putting it but
mildly.
Thursday evening Mr.. Gall scanned
the want ads of the various tri-city
papers. but saw no announcement re-
tererring to the money. Sunday In
conversation with one Of his men he
was asked If he had heard Of Browns
misfortune. He had not and wanted
to know II he had been injured. Worse
than that he was told; he had lost all
O. his lr"ney. Upon inquiry, Mr.. Gall
found that the amount which Brown
had lost ccrresponded with that he had
:annd. He searched for Brown and
found him in utter detection. He queS-
toned the man and when he learned
that the description of the lost property
tailed with the amount he found he
returned the wallet to the rightful
owner.
Brown was for giving Mr. Gan at
least half of 1t as an expression OF
gratitude for the honesty In returning
the money, but Mr.. Gall would have
none of 1t. The incident has proven
to Brown that the bank Is the safest
place to deposit money.

railway mergers Of recent years, in

The report came as a result of an an

Altho President Darius Miller and
others officials OF the Burlington de-
clined to confirm the report, the an
nouncement was construed iii many
quarters as the first step in plan
which has been under discussion In
railway circles for some time. 1t has
been predicted that the Great Northern
would take over the Northern Pacifics
half interest in the joint control of the
Burlington by the two companies.

Mason City, June 1.-After a several

ficials Of the Iowa Central announced
that a change Of schedule OF its pas
senger service for Mason City would
be impossible. Connections with the
Wabash at Abba prevent any change
whatever unless that road is able to
make a change which it announces at
this time it could not do. The Central
was very anxious to run its trains in
competition with the Rock Island but
finds that out Of the question. 1t was
first thought that the train that
reaches here at lao p. m. would be
run earlier but it will hold its old
time. A big shake up OF the freight
schedule is to be made however, and
will be announced soon. The new card
goes into effect on June 4.

YOUNG
Mothers

No young woman, In the Joy OF
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the phys
ical ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both she and her coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mothers Friend
prepares the expectant mothers sys-
TEN for the coming event, and Its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all it's
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good COM
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The
baby too is more apt to be perfect aud
strong where the mother has thus
prepared herself for natures supreme
junction. No better advice could be
given young expectant mother than
that she use Mothers Friend; it is q

Prompt Action Needed.

When you find thief in your house
you do not wait until all your valu-
ables have been stolen and then with
dignity and calmness notify the police.
When government employees deliber-
ately conspire to steal from the people
that which is their birthright-their
health-immediate and drastic action is
as necessary as in the case of the thief
III your house.
Crimes of omission have as evil ef-
fects as crimes of commission. If
thousands of cases relating 70 adul-
terated foods have been -pigeonholed,
there has been crime committed. 1t is
the duty of some one to see that the
guilty are punished This is the only
way to stop the crimes.
Does the administration intend to let
the Democrats get all the credit? Every

THE TIDE WESTWARD.
Center of Population In 158O Was

23 Miles East of Baltimore.
From the Chicago E1smiper.
The recent fixing of the center of pop
ulation OF the United States four and
one-half miles south of Unionville, Mon
roe County, Ind, shows how the tide Of
numbers has moved to the westward.
In 1890 1t was twenty-three miles east
of Baltimore; ten years later 1t was ten
miles west of that city; in 1910 1t had
moved forty miles west by northwest
Of Washington; in 1920 it was in Vir-
ginia: from 1880 to 1850 in West Virginia I:
in 1860 in Ohio, near Chillicothe; in 1870
forty-eight miles east of Cincinnati in
1880 eight miles west of that city; In 1890
twenty miles east of Columbus, Ind, and
In 1900 six miles southeast of that city.
Assuming the movement to have been
uniform along the thirty-ninth parallel
Of latitude, we get a total westward
movement of $40 miles in 100 years. In
the past decade the movement was
thirty-one miles as compared with four
teen miles in the previous ten years.
These figures seem to verify the oft
quoted line. Westward the star of em-
pire takes its way A
