Boom in Railroad Dividends.
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

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

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

IT WORKED WELL,
By ANDREW C. EVINQ.
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

Up to this Mtlut 1 have t ld that lu
