The railroads woro talking poverty ntn great rate the other day, when the northwestern switchmen's strike for more wages threatened to spread. But they are singing another tune in the current dividend declarations. Louisville & Nashville, even in the face of a short cotton crop, goes back to its old 7 per cent rato, and Reading raises its rato to six percent, following Norfolk & Western, Atchison and a number of other lines in similar action. Here is a confession of prosperity that should at least hush the talk of hfghor freight rat03. Springflold Republican Rival Standard Oil Profits. The First National bank of New York, which used to be known as "Fort Sherman," has novor lost the strong financial footing gained in the days of specie payment resumption. It pay regular annual dividends of 32 per cent on its capital of $10,000,000, n-d yester day declared nn extra dlviden I of 8 pel pent, making 40 per cent for the year, In 1902 It declared the equivalent of ti stock dividend of 1,930 per cent, there by increasing its caoital from $500,000 to the present figure Springfield Re publican. Farmers Make High Prices. An Omaha banker says that tho farmers in tho west aro holding their corn for better prices, A Lincoln (Neb.) grain man reported that at one of h s country elevators ho offered two farmers 85 cents for corn, and they replied that they would bring in 10.0C0 bushels when tho price got up to $1. Wo do not blamo tho farmers; they arp entitled to all they can get for their produce But' what becom3 of tho story In tho muck-raking papers that tho high prices of farm products aro caused by combinations of wholesalers nnd retailers and that tho farmers do not got any boncfit? Tell that to the marines, but not to tho farmors. Leslie's Weekly. County Option His Platform. A Lincoln dispatch of recent date says; Former Senator C. H. Aldrich of David City, author of tho Aldrich fright rate act and tho first announced republican candidate for govornor next year, says he will mako tho raco on a county option platform. "Tho option is based entirely on the Amoricnn prlnciplo of majority rulo and alms to give overy voter tho right to express his sentiment," declared Mr. Aldrich In Omaha. "I have investigate oil tho liquor situation and find the sentiment in tho country outside of Douglas county overwhelmingly In favor of allowing tho peoplo to dictate tho policy of thelr.dlfjtrlcta. "County option from a moral and so clal standpoint, is amove toward hotter things. Tho Slocum law docs not meet the present demand. Statistics show that in (he Bmnller tqwns tho saloons depend upon tho territory outside their corporate limits for from 80 to 86 per cent of their business. If this is truo I believo tho rural citizen should have a right to say whothor or not saloons shall exist itr his community." The DeS Moines Cnpltol very nptly says: "while some peoplo arc worry ing in regaid tp tho Roosevelt policies and protend to bo longing lor tho re turn of Roosov it, President Tuft and bis cabinet nro laboring for tho Roose velt poIicioB and every othor good pol icy.

One night the farmer's hired man took some tools down to the landing and was busy for an hour. Two evenings later, Jimt at sundown. he saw the widow milking across the Held for the river, and he was, not long u following her, lie expected to hem ties lor help, but they did not come. lie expected to llnd a woman clinging to a swamped bout, but he didn't. .She was wading ashore when he arrived on the buult and dashed In, and (ill he got out of ll wuh a good sousing and a cold In the head.

Copyright, lkr., uy An.erlciin rress Ao ciuiiaii.i I am n bachelor. I am forty. I am a theorist. These few words are abun dance of preface In my story. 1 have two friends who Offered to put themselves in my iiiiiiiIh for an experiment In the line of my muiriino nlal theory, .lohu Atirhincioss frankly averred that be hcileteii in urn fringe, but hud always considered II a mutter of fate. .My Idea of Hiking ll out of the bunds of rule shim: him forcibly. Besides, the piun II properly worked by a third person nllorded the lies! possible chance to ut leas avoid un.f bud matrimonial blunder. Helen Kng lauder pretended to make her proposl tlnu lu a spirit of hunter. Hit admitted that to spend n week (ontluuoiis)y with any mini would cause her to hate him, iinu lr she uiurrjed m till It must be as a plunge Into a cold bath, l-tl- lowing these two lines ot reasoning, both ngrecd to marry aiy person 1 might select, the flair not to meet un til one minute before the wedding. 1 bad lung considered AiicuIiicIosh and MIhs Huglnuiler iih eminently titted for each other and selected them for a mntrlinuulal venture. One stipulation was made by the bride. After the cor oniony she was to have a mouth be fore living with her husbmid. He must leave her Immediately after the benediction. This, she sulJ, wuh nec essary to permit tier to puller her forces for what she considered "thu great sacrifice on the altar of family ties and Direction." There are people who do not Impresn us nt once, but grow on us alowly. Tho principals In this case both Impressed those who met them on sl.;lit. Kvery one said on meeting .lohu tuchtiiclosu, "What a splendid mail:" And Helen Eugliiuder called forth like encomi ums. Would the strong Individuality lu both hnriuoiil.e' Tills luust be left lu fate, but It Is better to take one chance than a dozen, and lu this cuh there was uo chance wh never that either would get uu unworthy life partner. The wedding wbh in every respect worthy of the practical couple con corned lu It, It occurred at 11 lu the morning, and the only persons pres ent except the bride and i;rooiu were the bride's mother and my.clf. At 11 o'clock John and 1 stepped up to the Eugluuder front door, ratig the bell and were ushered Into the drawing room, where Mrs. and .Mist Kugluudei' were awaiting us. Of course I watch ed anxiously fur the llrst look that should come over the face of each at beholding the other. John's counte nance wuh perfectly Herein;. If there was disappointment In It 1 failed to discover It. HcIcu'h lit up with a quick pleasure, and she drew a long breath as If she hud been freed from a great dreiid. Hut for thine Hcarcely to be detected features one might have supposed the two hud met for the pur poae of transferring a piece of prop erty. As we entered I drew out my watch and noted the time, then went ncrosn the hull, where a clergyman was In waiting, brought hliu lu. and the cere motiy. began exuetly forty-eight see oiids after the principals hud met. John answered the responses iih me thodlcally as If he were making an allldavlt before a notary, but Helen bungled everything. It wuh plain that there wuh no small commotion beneath her rapidly rising and falling bosom, Ah booh iih she had been pronounced a wife she turned to salute her moth cr, her chief object being to hide the turmoil within her. Then, suddenly turning about, she looked her husband full lu the face. Tor the llrst time lu my life I wished such a woman would give nio such n look. John had ordered a currlnixo to call for hi in at live minutes past 11, aud the llrst glance between husband aud wife was cut slnnt by the butler an bouncing that It hud arrived. John bid adieu to his tuother-lu-luw, then to his wife. The hitter kept her eyes on the carpet' till the last moment, then looked up, with a soft reprouch lu her oyea. "Mny 1 beg n few minutes' lndul conceV" Hald John. "I iiRfunied that our contract made It obligatory on tno to depurt at once." "1 dou't reuiotnlH?r that tho osact tltno wuu turned." Hald the brido. with a blush. This was a positive untruth.' She bad used the word "liniuediately." Mr. liuglnnder asked tue If I would partake of some refreshment, mid, uc- comiuitiled by the clergy mini, we wont out to another room, leavlug the uuwly married pair alouv together Up to this Mtlut 1 have t ld that lu whk-b 1 wn nu Important actor. Tho rest of tho story I can only tell by In ference. John hud agreed to liuich with me nt 1 o'clock. Ho did not ap pear at the appointed time, nor did 1 Bee or hear anything of llm during the afternoon, in the even ng I went to his rooms hut he hud not been there. A messenger hud culled with n written permit to enter the nsiins uud remove any articles tie c turn i, A trunk was ulfessury to take what he nelect ed. 1 did not m .lohu for thirty days after leaving him with Ills ij.'hJe.
