WANT TO- BE NOTICED,

Long Branch Letter.
The reason startled pedestrians stop
and turn to look after the young women
they meet is probably because these
young persons intended to produce this
effect on crowds when they left home.
They have a queer foreign look, which
excites comment, if not admiration.
Girls don't particularly care for admi-
ration only; they do want to be no.
ticed. Whatever your motive, by turn
ing to look a second time at the girl of
to-day you crafty the most profound
desire of her heart; you satisfy her
that she is outre, strange, grotesque or
something or other in front, and that
you want to know how the rear view of
her will compare in picturesqueness.
What strikes the beholder is that the
returned summer resort girl is still
wearing the fabby, clinging, open
meshed garments you saw her in at
the springs, but she has thrown away
her big summer hat with it's shattered
roses and yards of drabbled tulle for q

THE AGE OF KONUNENTS

This quarter of the century has been
prolific in monuments, and may be.
called the golden age, not of sculpture
perhaps, but of sculptors. AS fast as
spirited ediles improve old cities by
clearing away narrow streets, there is a
demand for groups in marble or bronze
to adorn open spaces; and philanthropy
lists are ever at work discovering emf
nent persons who deserve to have their
ikenesses set upon pedestals. When
somebody inquired of Cato the Elder
why no statue had been raised to him,
he said that he would rather have to
answer this question than hear it asked
wherefore he had been honored with a
statue; but in these days nobody thinks
of questioning mans claim to monu-
ment if subscribers can be found to buy
him one.

nearly thirty years ago. He devoted
himself to the slaughter of buffalo, an

sake of slaughter. He had con-
siderable following, and as game
was numerous, and the hunt
ing continued for many years, the wan
ton sacrifice of animal life was, per
haps, unprecedented. Sir George Gore
made friends with the Indians, giving
them presents, being as reckless in his
expenditures in this direction as he was
in the destruction of the game. He
finally became disguised with the.cu-
pidity, which manifested itself among
the Indians, as well as among his own
men, and gathering up everything por-

fort and houses, and destroyed the
premises. When the property had

ICE RESERVOIRS.
Caves in Different Countries Where
Ice May Be Got the Year
Round.
New York News. I

New York News
In many countries ice is obtained from
natural ice-houses, wherein, while the ordi-
nary temperature outside is so degrees, ice is
continually forming. Such a ravine or
cavern has been found in New Jersey, and
near Lincoln, Vermont, there is a glen in
which snow and ice lie all the year round
One of the most remarkable of these ice
caverns is that of Dobschan, in Hungary
1t is quite near the town, and is approached
though a narrow, winding limestone valley,
of mountain, having a general direction
east and west. The entrance is near the top
and extremely narrow, and was only discov-
cred by accident. Once, inside, remark
able scene is beheld, the ice, which seems
formed in many layers, having assumed all
the peculiar shapes that characterize the
limestone caves of our own country. The
total rock and ice surface in the cave alone
occupy about q, 900 square feet.
The cave is divided into two parts, upper
and lower. In the upper part the roof is of
limestone, and the floor of solid ice, and it is
divided into two great halls of wondrous
beauty. The roof of the largest hall is sup
ported by three enormous pillars of clear ice,
one of which is hollow, and through which
flows stream from above, producing strange
fantastic forms of ice resembling human be-
ings, pdlpits, monuments and SO on, giving
to the cave most grotesque appearance In
one end the ice forms an exact representation
Of large cascade as if rushing stream with
its spray had suddenly been frozen solid. De-
scending to the lower room the passage is
600 feet in length, and by following
down through the ice you come to the nat
ural outlet of the water.
In all countries such caves have been
found So extensive is the ice cavern on the
peak of Teneriffe that it affords a permanent
source of supply. and even vessels are loadei
with its ice. This ice is columnar in shape,
and does not melt easily, and so can be trans
ported without great loss. Near the village
of Stelitze, in the Carpathian mountains.
there is one of the largest ice caverns in tbs
world, and, curiously enough, it freezes in the
summer and melts in the winter. For in
stance, in midsummer the roof is entirely GOV.
cred with icicles but in winter they disap
pear, and by Christmas time the cavern is dry
and, warm ompared to the outside world.
Ice begins to form as soon as the spring opens.
In some deep mines ice forms at certain pc.
riods. This is the case in some of the salt
mines of the Ural mountains. Great cavities
are formed in the gypsum, and in the winter
they are filled with clear water, but in the
summer they are frozen solid.
We have similar cases nearer home In
this state there are several ice wells, and an
ice cave has been found at Decorah, Iowa.

There is certain type of Arkansas
man that hurrying civilization is not
likely co jostle. He is not exactly the
old squatter, nor is he the small farmer,
but he is the wild and hayward child
of circumstances over which he does
not care to exercise control. He went
to the state in 1876 and settled on the
left prong of Dry Fork. creek. He
married, as he expressed it, "a rig ht
smart chunk o. gall" and began house
keeping on a floor made uneven by the
burrowing of moles. Unlike the squat
ter, he does not withhold information.
Bless you, no. He'll stop work and
talk to you all day. He'll tell you
more lies in half an hour than you
would thinkiit possible for an unskilIed,
uneducated man to throw off in a
years time. He won't tell the truth,
and it is said that he never made an
effort in that direction.

are fourteen hundred rations between
Lady Franklin bay and Smith sound
sufficient to last the Greedy party for
fifty-four days on full rations. The Po-
laris people made the journey in safety,
with no such prospects as the Greedy
men have. The chances are good,
even if the trip was made last fall. In
the vicinity of Littleton Island enough
reindeer could be killed to last all
winter, or the Esquimaux could be
reached without much difficulty. If
the trip was made this spring we are
sure to find them all right. In any
event, therefore, I feel satisfied they will
be returned In safety"

appropriated o million of volumes.
Aided as it is by the copyright tax ut
will always be the largest and best Ii
brary in the United States, and it will
soon compete with those Of Europe.
There are now Eve bigger libraries in
the world, viz: The National Library
of France, with 100000 volumes;
the Library of the British Museum at
London, 1900, 900; the Royal Public
Library at st. Petersburg, 1000, 600;
the Royal Library at Munich, 100000,
and the Royal Library at Berlin, $780,
600.
The first library in the United State s
was the Harvard college library, start
ed in 1888, while that of Yale college
was started in 100. Thirty-one years
later Ben Franklin, having walked
from New York to Philadelphia and
started printing Office there, origi-
mated the first subscription library of
America, and in 1900, when our CAPT
tol was removed to Washington, the IL
brary of congress, or our national
library, was founded. When the Brit
ish came here in 1914 they burned it,
and congress bought Jefferson's library
of 1900 volumes as second begin
ming. By 1851 the library had increased
to 81, 900 volumes, when it was again
destroyed by fire, only 10000 volumes
being saved. Since that time the library
has steadily grown, having nearly
doubled its size. within the past ten
years.
In 1870 there were estimated to be
sc, 000, 900 books in the libraries of the
United States and 100000 of these
were in public libraries. This gives an
average of over one book per person,
as there were $4,000, 900 people in the
United States by the same census.
The German nations have the most
books in their libraries, and there are
over a thousand public libraries in
Germany, Austria and Switzerland,
twenty of which contain over 100,000
volumes. Great Britain has only nine
libraries containing over 100000 vol
umes, but the British museum pays out
$4,000 annually to improve its collec-
ton. France has six libraries of 100,-
900 volumes outside of the national Ii
biary, which is the largest in the world,
and Spain has, all told, thirty public
libraries containing in all 100000 vol
umes, of which 100000 are in the Ii
brary at Madrid.

The PleurO-PneumOnia.
Hastings Journal.

dHSuDRS JOUrnal.
We have no apology to offer for the
amount OF space we have devoted to the
above named disease. There is moth
ing in the range of newspaper discus
sion so important to the people as this.
We have therefore collated and given
our readers all the news available on
the matter. We regard the stamping
out of this disease a question of the
greatest Importance. 1t is true, that
as yet we have no pleuro-pneumonia
in Nebraska, but as it is Kansas and
Iowa, we are liable to be troubled with
it in some degree. This disease being
incurable, preventing its spread is all
there is left for the people to do. Even
cattle that have been exposed to the in
lection must be killed. DIR. Bushman,
the famous veterinary surgeon of the
U. S. army, says that it is first detected
in cough, and that if more than one
is known to be coughing that that is
evidence sufficient that they have the
pleuro-pneumonia. This is followed
by loss of the milk. He advises peo-
pie then to kill their cattle to prevent
Its spread. The value of the cattle in
dustry to this or any other country
is of 'incalculable advantage, and
anything which threatens to
destroy this industry deserves the
closest attention, not only of the indi-
vidual owners, but of the state and ma
ton as well. 1t is therefore no Won
der Kansas and other states have ap-
pealed to their legislatures and to con-
gress to do something in the way of
stamping out the disease It seems to
us that congress is short-sighted in al
lowing the states rights idea to pre-
vent action of that body. It is a mat
ter in which every man of every state
is interested beyond measure, and
therefore the general government
ought also to be interested in its extir-
patton. Now, as the government is in
sense responsible for its Introduction,
and as the killing of every infected ami
NAL is necessary to its extirpation, and
as this is decidedly expensive to the
individual and state, and as every one
is interested in It's destruction, it there
fore becomes the duty of the general
government to oversee the matter and
share in the losses. Whatever means
are adopted to kill out this dread dis
ease or to prevent its spread, they
should be ample, and should be used
in time. Delays are extremely danger

The Sioux Reservation.
Des Moines Register,

Lies MOlucS hcStSt0Ts
Considerable interest is being felt as
to what the senate will do in regard to
opening the great Sioux reservation.
The Dawes Indian commission has re-
ported favorably for the proposed bill,
and tits thought that the senate will
pass it. Then the real difficulty will
begin. For by the treaty of 1868 with
the Indians, it is required that ratif-
cation of all ceded lands shall contain
the signatures of three-fourths of the
male adult indians themselves. If the
senate should pass the proposed bill at
once, it would probably take some
months to obtain the necessary en-
dorsement from the Indians. The parts
ceded to the government by this ar
rangement will include about ten mil
lion acres. The greater part of it is
known as the Brule reservation, and is
described as follows: Beginning
on the Missouri river at
old Fort George, thence to
the western boundary of Presho,
south to the forty-fourth degree of lati-
tude, thence east to the river at Fort
Lookout. The treaty also provides for
the opening of that part of the Sioux
reservation lying between the White
and Cheyenne rivers. The Indians
will still be provided with all the lands
necessary for their happiness and COM
fort, and these lands will be held in
trust for them by the United States for
period of twenty-five years, at the ex-
piration of which time they will receive
them in fee simple. The coded lands
