Deserter Gives Up.

Leavenworth, Kan, June 12.-
Longing to return to his former home
in Columbus, O., and not daring to
do so for fear of being arrested for
having deserted from the United
States army, Earl H. Penrod, now of
Springfield, Mo-, surrendered to the
authorities of the military prison here.
He is held pending an investigation Of
his record. The statute of limitations
has expired on his desertion. He was
accompanied by his father, who lives
in Columbus, o. Penrod said he had
deserted from the old Twentieth field
artillery at Fort Riley, Kan, in 1905,
while awaiting trial on a charge OF
having stolen grain sacks. If this is
found correct he will be released,
when he will return to Ohio. He said
he surrendered in order to be able to

BIG REVENUE REDUCTION.
Annual Saving of 100000 to Ship
pers i'm Tariffs.

Chicago, June IAN annual re-
auction of the transcontinental rail-
roads amounting to 100000 is now
regarded by western freight traffic of
ficials as a conservative estimate of
the result of the new freight tariffs
to western intermountain territory
which it is expected will be in effect
by the end of this month. This esti-
mate takes into consideration the
traffic of the various transcontinentaI
lines through all of the territory af-
fected, Washington, Montana, Idaho,
wyoming, Nevada, Utah and Arizona,
stretching roughly from Spokane to
Phoenix. The roads between St. Paul
and the North Pacific coast alone, it
is believed, will experience a yearly
reduction in revenue of at least ST.
100000.

Husband Dies Soon After Wife.

Pittsburg, Kan, June 12.-Within
forty eight hours after the death or
his wife, Martha NJ. Tuck, and about
four hours before her funeral was to
take place, William Tuck, the hus-
band, died, the doctors said, literally
from a broken heart. Mrs. Tuck had
undergone a delicate surgical opera
ton at the Mount Carmel hospital
about two months ago, but the results
were not what was expected and the
attending surgeons gave her only a
few months to live. When the hus-
band was told of the decision of the
surgeons, he began to worry over
her condition and while she, know
ing her doom, tried to comfort and
cheer him and at times he appeared
to be resigned, his health finally be-
gan to fail and while he did not take
to his bed, it was seen that he was in
q bad way.

Last Gap of Santa Fe Cutoff in

New and Direct Route to Cali

1t is announced from the general
offices of the Santa Fe in Topeka that
the last gap in the cutoff line of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe

will be given a new and direct route
between California and Galveston, will
be constructed Immediately. 1t is be-
tween Lubbock and Texico, about 100
miles. The contract was recently let
to w. H. Denison, who is now as
sembling his outfits at Lubbock and
Texico preparatory to beginning grad
ing work at both ends. The line is
to be finished by the first of the COM
ing year and shortly thereafter
through train service between Calves
ton and California points will be in
augurated via the new route. From
Coleman to Texico is approximately
800 miles and the cutoff line is al
ready finished and in operation be-
tween this place and Lubbock, con-
nection being made at the latter place
with the Lamesa line of the Santa Fe
running north to Canyon, Tex, where
connection is made with the Amarillo
division.

the new rates, the controversy over
freight tariffs to the intermountain
territory of the west is now regarded
as settled. The new rates, reached as
result of compromise between the
roads and the western shippers, en-
tail a larger excess over the coast
rates than was provided in rates rec
commended by the commission, though
much smaller excess than now
charged to the intermountain terri
tory The tariffs, it is expected, Will
be effective July 1, and the commits
sion will accept them subject to COM

GAIN IN MAY GROSS EARNINGS
In First Three Weeks Increase of 4.3
Per Cent Shown.


Gross earnings of all United States
first three weeks Of May aggregate
$23,935,2s9, according to Dun's Re
view, an increase as compared with
the earnings of the same roads for the
corresponding period a year ago of
4.3 per cent. While the returns show
a fairly satisfactory gain over last
year, it is hardly as large as that
during the same period in the two pre-
ceding months, the same roads in
April reporting a gain of 5.S per cent,
and in March of 81 per cent.
This slight falling off, however,
probably can be accounted for fully
by the loss of coal tonnage on many
roads incident to the labor troubles
in the mining regions; and as much eff
fort is now being exerted to make up
for lost time this loss will doubtless
soon be recovered.
In the west and southwest railroad
activity is also becoming more pro-
nounced, and most roads report larg-
err earnings for the third week of the
month than last year, among them be-
ing st. Louis Southwestern, Chicago,
Indianapolis and Louisville, Interna-
tional Great Northern, Missouri, Kan

There is a strong tendency, however,
to dress the hair quite a bit higher
on the head, and with the high couture
in view the wig makers should chirk
up, because it will no doubt mean a
return Of fiufier hair fashions.
Just now the classic Psyche knot is
much in evidence. A study should be
made of the profile to determine at
just what height the Psyche should
be worn, for no style of hairdressing
so emphasizes the tilt of ones nose
and the set of ones chin. To dress
the hair in this manner, part OF the
front Of the hair as for a pompadour

der of the hair is then combed back
and tied at the base of the crown of

neck. A foundation, or rat, is then
pinned across the back of the head
Now divide the back hair into three
strands, rolling the middle strand into
a big puff, which should be pinned
lengthwise and 50 as to cover the CEN
ter part of the foundation. The two

together lightly and coiled about the
puff. The ends of the front portion of
hair should be twisted into a tight
coil and then tucked under the coils

The French twist-not the hard,
tight, slick affair of twenty years ago,
but a soft, fluffy roll of hair extend
ing from the crown of the head to the
nape of the neck-the French twist Is
especially attractive when the front
hair is parted and rolled up away
from the neck.
The woman who has had trouble in
concealing the stiff pointed top Of her
switch and the unyielding stems, will
be glad to know Of two comparatively
new ways in which the switch Is made
up. One is simply not made up at
at all, it is just a wavy plait with
soft curls at either end, which may
be manipulated in any number OF
ways. The other method is to fasten
the hair to a nat soft ring, which
makes stemmfng unnecessary, and IA
cilitates neat, natural hairdressing.
