After breakfast they took a carrlaeo and scoured the city tor n minister to marry them , but failed to find a preacher to whom the oxtrcmo youth of the girl did not look suspicious. After approaching six ministers , and In every Instance being turned away , the couple departed Tuesday morning after occu- pylne qitaiters In the Planklnton house Mon day night. Where they went or by whom they wore married has not transpired , but It Is understood to-night that they nro mar ried all right.

All in nil it Is a pretty social IIICSH , and dudes young girls , society mammas and million aires are mixed up In a most bewildering fashion only possible In Chicago. It Is possl- bio that Mamma Stone will conclude to make the best of what she is leptesented ns looking upon as a bad bargain , and that Pralrlo ave- nuowlll recover.

The "wino colored" volume that be longs to the high school library , with the trouble caused by it , was ollicially inves tigated yesterday afternoon , by a com- mittec'of the board of education appointed for that purpose. The members of the committee , Messrs. Copeland , Clark and Davis , met at the board rooms at ! t o'clock yesterday afternoon. Superintendent James , Prof. Lewis , Mrs. Mclntyre and Members Livcscy and Long and Secre tary Conoyer wcro present. The com mittee was getting ready for work when the discovery was made that several "ubiquitous reporters , " as Mr. Davis would say , bad blown in , and were ap parently just as ready as the committee lo commence proceedings. Secretary Conoyer welcomed * the scribes and wanted the court opened. AVhile he was practicing up on the reading of the affi davits with which he was going to sup port his side of the case , the members of the committee yielded to outside in- llucncea and decided that the loportors should bo tired. The marching order was given , but Mr. Conoyer protested. He asserted that ho had performed no act in his career as u member of tlio board that was not open to the public , ahd ho wanted the investigation conducted in the pres ence of newspaper scorpions. The plan was opposed , however. There wcro several young laiy pupils of the high school on hand , and Mr. Conoycr wanted to know by what authority they were present. It developed , that Air. Copeland had sent for the young ladies. Mr. Conoyor objected on the ground that Mr. Copoland. as a judge of llic testimony , had no authority to invite anyone. "JJnt you wanted the reporters , did yon not , Mr. Conoyer ? " asked Mrs. Molnlyrc by way of justification of Mr. Copolaml's position. k > Jt was filially decided that the reporters ought not hear the testimony , and to carry out their purpose the committee iidjoiirucd to the superintendent's room , where the investigation was held. Mr. Long retired with the committee. Inside the superintendent's room Mr. Conoyer wanted to know what business Mr. Long hud in the room , and finally moved that ho bo asked lo retire. It was stated , however - over , that Mr. Long was an interested party , as a witness , and Mr , Conoyor suH'ercd him to remain , and the ex amination was commenced. Hero Mr. Conovor made another kick and asked that the witnesses bo sworn. This was decided not necessary and Mr. Conoycr subsided in disgust. The investigation was then made with the result that bus been precieted in these columns. It was shown that for a number of years u reference - oronco book , known as "Qiiano's Anat omy , " has boon kept in the high school library and used by tlio leacher of the sciences. Tins wine-colored volume con tains a number of illustrations showing the different purls of the liunum body , and is not considered a proper book to bo found in the hands of the smaller cliil- ilron of the school , although its use is es sential for tlio proper instruction of tlio science class. I'rof. Lewis stated that children should not bo allowed to use the book. It was also .shown that the library at the high school is not pro- vidcd with Jocks and that pu pils are accustomed to iiso it ut their pleasure.

General Manager Callaway , of tiio Union Pacillo , was interviewed yesterday with reference to the charges made by H. II. Porter in the Chicago Tribune against the Union Pacific management and tlio Colorado pool. In answering the charges in detail Mr. Callaway said that there were no steel rail works at Denver.there. fore the statement that the Union Paeitic olllcers were interested in a steel rail null in that city required no refutation. The Colorado Cotil and Iron company have a mill locattxl at Pueblo in Colorado , upon the line ol the Atchison , Topeka & Santa Vo railroad. Ihis mill has been closed for years on account of its inability to compete with eastern manufacturers. The steel rail combination had , however , forced the price of steel up nearly $13 per ton within the past year , and during the last fo\v months the Pueblo works had thus been enabled to open up nnd roll n small quantity of rail in competition with pastern makers. Tlio rate ciren llio Colorado Midland on stool rails from the Missouri river to Col orado Springs was sixty cents a hundred pounds a rate which Air. Callaway con sidered not unreasonable in view of the long haul through n sparsely settled country where tralllc was exceedingly light. This rate had been paid by the Denver & Kio Gramlo railway for years nnd was satisfactory to that company. Ho saw no reason why the rolling mills should not meet the comnetition of the the Pueblo mill out of their largo profits instead of expecting the railroads to close thalconcorn up by a reduction of rates which were now not unreasonable. The rate on fctoel rails to Colorado was formerly S1.20 per Ion , Ith.id been re- puccd one-half , and thus thn total trans portation charge from llio Missouri river to Colorado Springs now represented just the Increased price of the the stool rail over that charged a year ago. The ani mus of tins attack , made upon the cvo of tiio discussion by congress of tlio exten sion bill , and apparently in the interest of Chicago railroads which nro being extended - tended into the Union Pacific territory and thus crippling It in every direction is apparent. _ "Tho Are Heautlful , and much larger than in other Addi tions , " is the usual verdict regarding the ' 00 lots in Autimurr's Cncuci : . IT AVIMi HU The lrlnco-TiiiKley Uaco Otlicr "Wheel Note ? . The fifty mile race that will take place at the exposition building to-night be tween Prince and Dinglcy promises to bean an exceedingly interesting contest. Hoth men are in excellent shapo. Dingley don't look like the same man who took second 11101105in the great six-day race hero in December , so greatly has ho im proved. Ho lias beaten Shock fairly and badly , and is now ambitious , although a comparatively now rider , lo defeat Prince , anil will use every oll'ort to do it. Prince himself admits that Dinglcy is the only wheelman in the country that ho is afraid of , and oilers to back him against Kck , Morgan. Woodsido , or any ether wheel man. He can't afford to do anything but his best , however , and the race will bo the speediest ever witnessed here. Hullock is in training for tiie handicap race which will run at the exposition building next Friday evening , in wliicli ho is entered with Prince and Dingloy. IJullock is still holding his car to tlio ground to catch Fred Shaw's acceptance to a race for any distance and any amount. lien Fell made a five mile spurt at Iho exposition building yostoVday afternoon in 10:03. : This is within 7 seconds of the best amateur record. The track at the exposition building has been repaired and llio raised courses changed to make them longer and easier.

In the attempt to swim the Niagara whirl pool rapids is no more reckless or danger ous than to triltcvith disease which each tiny secures a stronger hold nnd hastens the end of life. ThU is specially true ot rheumatism , nciunlaia , sciatica and ncr- VOIH headache , which though perhaps slight nt first nrc extremely dangerous , anil readily secure a firmer grip until at Ia l the ng'ony is unendurable and sudden death brings relief. These diseases can be cured by the use of Athlophoros which , in connection with Atlilophoros Pills , never fnili when prop erly used. Read the following from those "who have tested It : John S.
