But the cashier asked for a word of

He stated and called upon Senator

spirit of conservatism of the board

Mrs. French Vanderbilt was talking

young matron of great wealth who had
deserted her husband for handsomer,
but by no means better man.

her thirty million dollars" said Mrs.
Vanderbilt, che thought he was step

Whereupon William H. Gard, of the
United States department of justice
arose and went to the front of the
train. From this point he worked
steadily back, making sure that he
saw every passenger, looking each
over with sufficient scrutiny that a dis
guise would not have escaped him,
making sure that the man he sought
was in the portion of the train to the
rear. It began to look as though he
had actually boarded train which the
fugitive had failed to catch.
Dark was just coming on. It was
that hour when most of the passen-
gers on a train are to be found in the
diner. It happened that this train was
running light and now the sleepers
were practically deserted but for the
5nodding porterS. Through one after
another of these the special agent
passed until there remained only the
observation car at the end. It was
here that he would find his quarry or
prove himself outwitted.
5 When he came into the observation
car through the narrow hall that leads
to it, a lounging figure by the door
drew itself taut. Instinctively it put
it's hand to a travelling bag that rest
ed on the next chair. Then it re-

The special agent came direct down

Lobeck and Patti
Urge Labor Bureau
Put in Branch Here
(From q Staff Correspondent

Washington. June 29.-(Special
Telegram Representative Lobeck
and L. J. Patti of Omaha made out
a strong case today with Secretary of
Labor Wilson in behalf of the estab-
lishment of branch bureau Of immi-
grafton in Omaha. They showed the
secretary that the cost of maintaining
an Office of the department in Omaha,
for that is what it amounts to, would
go far toward supporting branch Of
the department outright in that city.
incidentally it was suggested that
Omaha was advantageously situated
for the location of one of the arbitrat-
ors of labor conditions.

left tonight for New York.

HoGS--Today's hog run was one OF the
smallest OF the week to date and showed
a marked falling off from the two previous
days, 1856 cars, or some 10000 head, being
reported In. The four days supply totals
4S,t06 head, being 5000 smaller than last
week, and 5000 short Of year ago. but
slightly larger than two weeks ago
On earlier rounds the trade was just
little easter. but not many hogs sold that
way, and general market was steady, being
II anything stronger In spots, Shippers
were not doing much, and as early advices
from Chicago had weak tone, packers
tried to enforce small declines. A few hogs
were cashed at figures that were little
easier than yesterday, but by the time the
bulk OF the offerings began TO move bids
had been raised on generally steady
basis, and before the close some sales were
quoted stronger. Movement was active, and
all but a few scattering punches had been
cleaned up before also
A good share of the sales were again
made at $s,40Qs5o. As on Wednesday,
there were some OF the better hogs scat
tered on up to 1896. and the top again
reached 1910. Current prices are about
nickel above last weeks close. Fluctua-
tions have been very sharp. a 10000 adj
