The people of Northern Wyoming, es.
p~ecially in the coal and oil regions OF that
territory. are anxious to become better
acquainted with Eastern Nebraska They
want the railroads extended into their
country, and are looking forward with
anticipation to the day when their coal
and their oil. their cattle and their sheep
will be exchanged for the food products
and manufactured commodities of Ne
braska's commercial centers.- Omaha
Bee.
We should think they we're looking for
ward with equal anxiety to exchange their
mineral and agricultural products for the
food products and manufactured articles
of Wyoning's commercial centers. The
territory has already suffered much from
having been so unfortunately situated as to
be forced to make 50 many purchases
abroad without receiving a dollars worth
of benefit in return. Wyoming is an en-
pire in itself. Let its resources once be
developed and the people have it in their
hands to add tremendously to the growth

products.
All things being equal why should
Douglas, Lander. Sheridan or Buffalo. for
instance. send their products to the com
mercial centers of Nebraska. from which
they cannot possibly hope to receive m
reciprocal trade, when they could just as
well make consignments here and reap
direct benefits in return2
The Cheyenne & Northern is to be ex-
tended this spring, as far as Douglas GER
tainly and we hope to the Powder river in
the direction Of Buffalo. The people who
will thus be brought into closer relations
will readily appreciate the ~desirability Of
building up territorial interests, industries
and communities instead of contributing
to the u~pbuildinG of communities in other
states which take everything and give
nothing in return.

WYOMING NEXT.

A very cratic and not too well in.
formed writer has for several weeks de
luged the editorial staff of the Chicago
Tribune with some OF the most extraordi
nary suggestions regarding the formation
of new states. He was apparently ami
mated with the idea that the roaring
West was virgin soil upon which to oper
ate and the manner in which he carved
up existing territories and tackled ON a few
hundred thousand square miles here OF
Topped them off there was a sight to be-
hold. At one time he had half of Wyo-
ming tackled on to Colorado and the other
half added to Montana. A few DAYS
since he wrote an article on the subject Of
the congressional decision to admit the
wo Dakotas, Washington and Montana
in which he betrays glimpses of return
ing reason. He winds up an exhaustive
review OF the possessions and possiblli.
ties of the four territories named with
this significant paragraph:
The next state to come in will be Wyo-
ming. The next census will show that
she has nearly 10000 people, and the
population is increasing at the rate OF
about $4,000 a year. Probably she will
be ready to come in as soon as congress is
ready to have her. None of the other
territories will be ready for a long time.
Arizona and Idaho are deficient in the
number of people, and New Mexico and
Utah have an unfit population.
For this relief many thanks, Mr.. TSib-
me. Despite all limitations to the con-
trary, there are really no winged insects
on the epidermis OF little sore eyed Wyo-
ming. But she has really only Just begun
to strike her gait. Watch her for the
next few years, or only for the coming
summer, and see how the population will
roll in.
Wyoming is all right, but we are par
t~icularly gratiiied to find that the terrific
rial editor of the Tribune has had his eye
teeth cut in regard to her.

KANSAS Cry, Feb. 22.-Representa'
tives of the stock raising industry from
nearly every state and territory west OF
the Mississippi river and from Illinois
and Kentucky practically completed a
work Of vital importance to cattlemen to-
day. For a long time the cattlemen
thought they were losing through the
combine by the commission men and large
packing houses, which resulted in the
sale OF their cattle at ridiculously low
prices. The scheme of forming an i'm
mense commission company composed OF
stock raisers themselves has been
preached and n month or so ago a meet
ing was held for the purpose of taking
the initiatory steps preparatory to such
action. To-day the work was practically
finished and the meeting adjourned until
March 4, when the election Of officers of
the new commission company will take
place.
1t was decided to incorporate the com
pany rs the American Live Stock Com
mission company, with a capital stock of
$4,000 and headquarters at Kansas
City and Chicago. The incorporators will
be Samuel Lazarus of Texas, A. Gregory
oil Illinois, Nicholas Il. Eaton and Thos.
b. Bugg Of Kansas City. The articles of
incorporation will be filed at Springfield,
ILL.,, March,.
The idea OF the promoters of this move
mcnt is to enable them to sell their stock
at the highest prices and with the least
expense possible and with that end in view
headquarters will be established at Kansas
City and Chicago, with branches at Wich-
ita, Kas., Fort Worth, Tex, and possibly
Omaha, where stock will be received and
sold on commission. The plan Of the new
company will not confine its business to
its members, but will receive stock from
members and will do a general stock bust
ness on a large scale.
One of the most important features of
the movement is the possible effect it may
have on the cattle business of Kansas CITY
and Chicago. 1t has been the general
supposition among rangemen that a very
tlght and powerful combine existed in this
city between commission men and packing
houses.
The members of the new organization
now threaten hat if there is any dis.
position on the part OF the packing
house there to discriminate against them
after they begin business they will not
ship a head of stock to Kansas City but
will send their cattle to Chicago. 1t is
for this reason that the company will be
Incorporated in Illinois.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
movement may be had from the fact that
members of the organization now have
10000 head of stock to-day to bring to
market. 1t is thought as the movement
becomes generally understood that nearly
every cattle raiser in the west will Join the
company and make it a gigantic combina-
ton which will enable stockraisers to
practically do them own selling.

THE question of establishing a car

considered. Superintendent of Machin-

on the score of economy, but says that
while it will not effect the number of EN-

not sufficient room at Omaha for the car.

else out OF the way. The indications arr
that the foundry will be built, but in thii

STOCK AND FARM.

Stockton News: Wheat sowing is
over, and corn husking Is all the go
now. Corn is turning out about forty
bushels to the acre, on an average.
There has been a large acreage OF
wheat sown in Rush township this fall.
Coldwater Review: Andy Nicola and
family are the latest accessions to Cold
water. Mr.. Nicola is thorough west
ern man, and will in the near future
start horse ranch in this county. He
now has several head of good stock,
among which are two stations and o
thoroughbred jack.
Topeka Capital: The live stock san
itary commission received report from
the inspector at Kansas City to the
effect that about 10000 head of stockers
and feeders have been shipped out OF
Kansas City markets during the past
year, to Kansas cattlemen for the pur-
pose of fattenlng. These cattle come
principally from Colorado, New Mexico,
and the Panhandle. John T. White,
one of the members of the commission,
said to Capital reporter: I'm addition
to the 10000 head shipped out of
Kansas City, we estimate that 10000
head were shipped direct to Kansas cat
tlemen and did not 60 through Kansas
City. This would make 100000 head
which are to be fed on Kansas corn this
winter"

Unlimited Credit.

The Young Ladies' Journal tells of
q country schoolmistress who had
much trouble with her pupils, and to
avoid it made her examples placed be-
fore them of an explanatory character
or Illustrative. The effect was often
unexpected. In going over their usual
reading lesson a line was chosen BY
the lady upon which to test the merits
OF the scholars. The line read: @And
he was man of unlimited credit in
business"
Now, John, can You tell me what
is meant by the word credit when used
as in this lesson?"
Thus she addressed one of the STUN
bling-blocks of the school.
Il dunno, marm," said Johnny,
looking sheepish.
You don't know!" said the mis-
tress. We'll, look here. Surprising
your mother was to come short of
money at the latter part of the week,
and needed provisions, etc., now what
would she do?"
She was satisfied that her illustra-
ton was plain, and awaited the correct
reply, and it came thus:
We'll, marm," replied Johnny, II
dunno what she would do, unless she
pawned dads Sunday coat"
The subject was instantly dropped.
and the teacher has lost all faith in
that style Of illustration.

WHEN the engagement between the
late Emperor Frederick and the daugh-
ter of Queen Victoria was announced,
Bismarck cynically predicted, referring
to the hereditary faint in the blood of
England's royal family, that such an
alliance would result in spelling the
physical beauty of the future Hohen-
zollerns, which prediction has been
fully realized in the person of the pres
ent young Emperor. The Queen never
forgave Bismarck, and during all these
intervening years she never sent him
an Indian shawl; but it seems that she
has at last relented, for she has just
sent Prince Bismarck a ife-like por-
trait of herself as a special mark of
esteem. This is good policy. The
greater is said to contain the less, and
to conciliate Bismarck is to capture
the young Emperor; besides, it is god
like to forgive your enemies, especially
those you can't whip.

Our boys in blue who complain of
the severity of military discipline have
little to complain of in this respect
when compared to the soldiery of
France. Among the troops of that
country discipline is maintained with
a severity that certainly seems to verge
upon cruelty, as may be judged from
what follows: When a French soldier
has been court-martialed and found
guilty of an offense he is sent to a mil
itary prison, where he lives on bread
and water and has a heavy task set
him every day. If he is rebellious, or
refuses to do his work, the authorities
have an ingenious plan for insuring
that he shall perform certain amount
of hard labor. He is marched into a
cell into which there is stream of
water flowing. and furnished with q
pump which affords the only means of
keeping the water down. Unless he
sets to work to ply the pump the wa
ter rises higher and higher until he
must either 60 to work or be drowned.
In this way he has to spend the num-
Der of days for which he is sentenced,
wet through and pumping for his life.
1t he pauses to rest his arms the pitt
less water at once begins to gain upon
him, and he has to redouble his efforts
to keep it below the level of his chin.
As many as ninety days of this terrible
punishment may be inflicted on an OBJ
stinste prisoner.

ters ware written by Watkins to his
wife while be was in the county jail. In
them he gave himself completely away;
spoke OF "our children" and offered to
60 to Nebraska and live with his wife
u she would not appear against him:
AZ that time the woman was angry, and
sne gave the important missives to the

Topeka Capital: The contract will
be let this week at the state penitenti-
airy for contract labor for the next five
years. There are now IT'S convicts at
work on contract labor, divided as fol-
lows: Kansas Manufacturing company,
carriages and wagons, eighty-two men;
aelmer's Furniture company furniture,
hfty-three men; II. S. Burr & Com
pany, boots and shoes, forty men.
The state gets 60 cents day per man,
which averages about 81, 500 per month.
or total of about $4,000 per year.
From September to April the state has
no difficulty in working, or finding en-
Pioyment for every able bodied man in
the coal mine and could now use all
those employed at contract work, but
during the summer months when there
is no demand for coal, contract labor is
very necessary for the employment OF
the surplus labor. The state however
has thus far found no difficulty in find
ing employment for convicts during
the summer months, as the requirments
in the way of new buildings has called
for good many men and will for a
year or to two come. A brick making
plant has been established which has
been operated by the state for two
years past, and will probably be en-
larged to include vitrifed brick, as they
have very fine clay for that purpose,
besides the clay or slate refuse taken
from the mine makes brick equal to
the vitrifed

their fullest capacity with work.
A circular issued over the signature
of President A. Marvel announces that
w. w. Allen, of Topeka, has resigned
the position of manager of coal proper
ties of the Santa Fe to engage in other
business, and G. J. Devlin has been ap-
pointed his successor, and assumed the
duties of the position December 1, with
headquarters in Topeka.
Wichita Eagle: From the first of
December, the eight-hour system will
be adopted at the Burton car works.
George Anderson, the deaf mute who
lost his right hand, is improving rapid

hard. as his education went with his
hand. The car works are building
forty-two sheep cars for the Rock
Island and re-modeling several stock
cars.
The Topeka board of trade took &C
ton as follows: WHEREAS, In building
of about twenty miles of railroad be-
tween Waverly and Leroy, Kansas,
would give Topeka, over the Kansas,
Nebraska, & Dakota, direct rail connec-
ton with Leroy, and at that point con-
meet with the Missouri Pacific's south
ern Kansas railroad system, thereby
bringing the capital city into closer
communication with rich country and
thriving cities; and WAEREAs. the COM
pletion of the Missouri Pacific line from
Cofeyville through the Indian territory
to Fort Smith and Little Rock empha-
sizes the importance Of close rail con-
nection with LeRoy, and thence direct
connection with Coheyville sover the
Missouri Pacific; therefore, Resolved,
That we earnestly request the Missouri
Pacific railroad company to build be-
tween Waverly and Leroy at an early
date, and when completed We ask said
company to place such train service on
the Kansas, Nebraska, & Dakota, which
this county has literally aided, as viii
give the capital city close connection at
LaRoy with It's system south.
