with another boat.
"Sc-so," responded the engineer, as he
hung an additional wrench on the safety

would have hanged q man in old times, but
the president looked on and smiled, with

All OF the Chicago papers except the
Times are loud in Their denunciation of the
corrupt newspaper taste which moves public
journals to demoralize morality by making
public the minute details of such affairs as
are charged up against McCrosky and
Beecher. The Times enters not into the ar
gument, but goes on publishing a page or
two each day o. the stuff, and selling thou
sands of extra copies. 1t looks as though
the Times was catering TO a popular de-
mand, and that the other papers should d.
rect their denunciations against a corrupt
public which delights in these little details
Of big scandals.

A movement is on foot to establish a semi
weekly line Of mail steamers between Yank-
ton and Fort Pierre, to connect them with
stages for the Black Hills. The consumma.
ton of this scheme is left to the people of
Yankton and the owners of steamers running
on the Missouri river. The postofice de-
partment, we are told, is willing to pay a
thousand dollars a month for such service
This with the freight and passenger traffic
which regular boats would bring looks like
an inducement to be we'll considered. The
establishment of a line of boats leaving and
arriving on stated days would bring patron
age which must ensure its success when the
fact is known throughout the east.

BEEF MAKING VENTURE.
After Due investigation az Omaha colo.

Omaha Bee. 18th.

Omaha Bee. 18th.
\ few weeks ago Mr.. James Creighton,
being DESTROYS Of entering into the business
Of stock raising. en- an extensive scale, made
a tour Of observation through the north
western part Of the state to look up a loca-
ton for = c1ttle rancho. He was greatly
pleased with the comparatively unexplored
region, which he found 10 be we'll adapted
for the purposes Of stock raising. 1t
abounds in nutritious grasses; has plenty Of
timber along the streams, and wild game in
great variety. But above all, there is an
abundance OF pure water, which is consiI-
cred one-half of stock food.
He selected a location for his rancho on
a branch of the Niobrara river, about 40
miles west OF Lorg Pine creek about lao
miles west OF O'Neil City about 400 miles
from Omaha, and about l40 miles due north
Of North Platte.
Upon his return TO Omaha he immediate
ly set about making arrat gements to estab-
fish his rancho, and to-day he left for the
selected spot with an outfit consisting of two
heavy wagons, n drawn by a four-mule
team, and the other by a two-mule team.
The wagons were loaded with one wears
provisions, guns, ammunition, and tools
with Whlch 10 oulld cablns, and other
rancho buildings. He took with him FIVE
men. He expects to return to Omaha in
about six weeks, after getting his rancho
under way. His men, Of course, will remain
there. He intends to put about $500 Texas
cattle on his new rancho this season, which
will be a very good start.
Mr.. Creighton's glowing account Of this
region, together with the bright prospects of
success in the venture, has induced several
others to follow him thither. Mr.. Herman
Kountze also sent out to-day a heavily
laden wagon, drawn by a four.mule team,
in charge Of Mr.. Mcclure, Of Pittsburg,
who will establish a rancho for Mr.. Kountze
about 100 miles west of O'Neil City. An
other outfit was sent out for the same pur-
pose by a company composed Of Messrs.
Bassett, c. s. Carrier, and George and
Charles Ste5bins.
