Railroad News.
Saturday Post : We notice that the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad , In
this last fiscal year of unpleasant mem
ory , with its trade reaction and state
passenger rate laws , managed to pay
olghl per cent on Its preferred stock ,
seven per cent on the common , and
lay by a surplus of nearly live million
dollars. The Northwestern is , of
course , somewhat exceptional being
just a good , well managed , out-anil-
oul transportation proposition. Us
shares represented money actually
Invested in its own railroad plant , and
not purchases of other shares either
for control or speculation. The Atchison -
chison earned Iho regular five per cent
on Its preferred stock , live and n half
on the common although that Issued
at the reorganization represented nt-
lie tangible value and nearly two
millions besides. The Atchison , also ,
Is merely running a railroad.
That the railroads are In quite des
perate straits Just struggling along
valiantly at the ragged edge of In
solvency has been said a great many
times ihls year in one way and an-
oilier by many not wholly disinterest
ed people. The financial difficulties
of some naturally weak or grossly
over-capitalized and sadly manipu
lated properties have been cited to
prove It. The real test of the sitna-
lion , however , Is to be found in the
experience of clean , well-built , well-
managed lines. They may bo suffer
ing some , as anybody suffers when
his income falls off , hut their dis
tress Is hardly of a nature to call for
public subscriptions.
Boone Man Back to Pen.
Elmer Russet of Boone county , serv

labor. He finally asked leave to work

$25 a month. He said his employer
first told him he might go and later re
fused. Russell decided In his own
mind that he was doing too much work
for the money received and so
he packed his grip and voluntarily
went back to the penitentiary , there
to spend the winter behind warm
walls.
GIRL LOSES $500,000. ,
Court Takes Daniels' Fortune from
Servant After Fight of Years.
New Haven , Conn. , Dec. 23. Mar
garet Dwyer Flsko , the servant girl
who captured the $500,000 fortune of
Leonard Daniels , a Chicago business
man , forty years ago , yesterday was
ordered to surrender It to her two
stepsons by a Connecticut supromu
court. The suit was foimht by legal
exports for years , vital testimony over
the ownership of Iho property being
given by a 75-year-old nurse , found
after a two years' search through a
personal "ad" In a Chicago newspaper.
Norfolk Man's Invention.
Down In his newspaper olllce on east
Norfolk avenue , C. S. Evans , editor
of the weekly Times-Tribune , lias ,
erected and ready for a practical test ,
a now perfecting press , which Is to
print newspapers fiom a roll and fold
the papers as they leave * the press ,
all without the aid of human hands
after the lover has been turned. All
this is of course done by the big per
fecting presses now in use , but the
great advantage claimed by Mr.
Evans for his Invention Is thai his
press can ho manufactured for a more
fraction of the money now put Into a
perfecting press. The cost of manu
facturing one of the Evans presses
would bo , ho says , from one-seventh
to one-tenth the cosl of the present
big heavy perfecting presses.
Mr. Evans has not as yet received
his patent from the government. The
press Is , however , ready for Its trial
.is soon as a roll of paper the right
width can be secured. As the press
was constructed merely as a model
and only built to print a two page
paper , It has been dilllcult to secure
a roll of the necessary width from the
linper houses. Wrapping paper has
been run through the press and Indi
cated , Mr. Evans said , satisfactory re
sults. He has been working on the
press for six months.
Mr. Evans' invention is modeled on
the old style Washington hand press ,
which he believes contains Ihe cor
rect printing principle. Departing
from the principle of the cylinder
press , Mr. Evans returns to first
principles. The correct principle Mr.
Evans believes is to print both sides
of the paper at once on a flat bed.
The upper and lower forms of his
press loclc together. His press is
run by a one-horse-power engine.
Chains are used to transmit power
between the different parts of the
press.
Mr. Evans has not taken up the
question of pulling his presses on the
market as yet. He Is confident , ' how
ever , thai a market can be found and
that perfecting presses will soon be In
other than city ofllces.
The paper folder , invented some
time ago by Mr. Evans , la helms manu
factured in a shop in Omaha at the
rate of about three machines a week.
This folder is finding quite a sale in
north Nebraska.
Other Inventions by Mr. Evans are
a double action force pump , turned
oul thirty years ago , and a road
Cruder , the lallor never bringing any
oturns. The pump was manufac-
iiired extensively through Mr. Evans'
arrangements with the company were
not such lhal he got any greal re-
turns.
W. P. Evans in Des Moines.
W. P. Evans , a son of the Norfolk
Ddltor-lnvenlor , is now living in Des
Moines , la. , whore he Is working to
have his new hay press put on the
market. A regular sized model is be
ing made in Des Moines. A feature
of Mr. Evans' Invention Is an automa
tic wire tier.

FRIENDS SAW THE POINT.

on Chicago Youths.
Chicago , Dec .23. "The automobile
is ready for the young lady In Room
1811. " After six chauffeurs in succes
sion had so announced to Paul Goic ,
clerk al the Auditorium Annex , lasl
nlglil , and he had received as often
the reiterated response from the
"young lady In Room 1811" "I ordered
no automobile" the occupant of that
room consented to explain.
"You see , " she began demurely , "I
had luncheon Saturday afternoon with
six gentlemen friends. I told them I
believed Chicago millionaires were not
equal to those of New York in the mat
ter of favoi ing their lady friends with
ante rides. I guess each ordered an
auto placed at my disposal this after
noon. "
The chauffeurs , who had lingered ex
pectantly , smiled grimly.

Claim Holders Too Anxious to Leave
Land Lose Their Homesteads.
Mitchell , S. D. . Dec. 23. The land
office has received a decision from
the department at Washington which
will act very much as a guide to people
ple who are filing on land with the
bare idea of making final proof upon
II and then leaving for parts unknown.
A losl case was made In a North Da
kota filing In the person of Gilbert
Salrang of Canton , S. D. The evi
dence ( Submitted Indicated that as
soon as Satrang had proved up ho
returned to Canton or BOIIIO other
point. His entry was canceled and tlio
land reverted to the government. In
the great rush to the reservation west
of Chamberlain a year or two ago
many people went out there for just
that purpose , and the Instances were
numerous whore an entrymnii had
completed his residence on his claim
and was ready to prove up. Before
going to the land otllco they have sold
off their claim shanties and disposed
of all evidences of civilization on
their claim. Having done that , they
have gone to the land ofllco and
proved up. In a number of cases these
parties have lost their land by reason
of others , knowing of their Intentions ,
having filed upon It and won out on n
contest of the properly. That Iho
government Inspectors nro keeping a
close watch on settlers In this reaped

SWINDLERS SET BOOK "STYLES. "
Name of Society Lender Used As Bait
For Purchasers.
Chicago , Dec. HI. Some interest Inn
data about tlio mysterious manner In
which "stylos" were sol In supposedly
rare books In order that wealthy Chi-
eagoans might bo Induced to pur
chase them at even more rare prices ,
Is being placed before Judge Mc-
Surely In the hearing of ( lie "do luxe"
case.
If certain Cblcagoans could bo In
duced to believe , for Instance , that
.Mrs. Stuyvesant Mali her name
usually was used by the agents as a
bait had purchased a set of British
poems for $10,000 , there wore scores
here who would go and do likewise.
Also witnesses set forth , If It was
judiciously rumored about that Mrs.
Potter rainier was willing to pay a
fabulous sum for a set of IlallowelPs
Shakespeare , many men and women ,
\\boso names are printed In Chicago's
blue book In black letters , tumbled
over each other to gel possession of a
similar sel of books.
As a witness for the prosecution and
against his former companions In tlio
case In which Mrs. James A. Fallen
declares she was defrauded , John M.
McKarland told as much of tlio inner
workings of the book business as ho
could remember. All thai was neces
sary lo creale a demand for any set
of hooks the men desired to get rid
of ho explained , was either to use the
"invtslnienl game" or make it appear
lhal well known connoisseurs of rare
books already had been purchasers.
Probably Hie most Interesting fen- r
lure of the hearing will be Die ap
pearance of Miss Ella McClellan , a
member of a local Ihealrlcal company ,
as a witness In behalf of McKarland.
According lo a statement made by As
sistant State's Attorney Pophom , Miss
McClellan first vlsiled Mr. Patten and
then Mrs. Patten , in an effort to
"square" mailers for McFarland.
Somollilng of a surprise was caused
by McFarland's testimony when ho
described Mrs. Patlen as a sort of a
mild-mannered "bull" In the "do luxe"
book market , just as her husband is
a more vlolenl one in the grain mar
ket. McKarland testified thai Mrs.
Palten had entered into some of the
book deals in the hope of recouping
losses which she had met In previous
deals in the book market.
A ST. CHARLES RUMOR.
