Secretary Rusk, says a Washington pa
per, receives some queer requests, but
his latest has set him thinking. A Wyo-
ming Territory farmer writes that he is
thankful for the packages of seeds which
were sent him and then quantity adds
that it is pretty hard work to build up a
new country without wives. He says the
prevailing sentiment of the territory is
in favor of women who would marry
honest settlers and concludes with the re-
mark that good homes await the lonesome
spinsters of the East, and equal political
privileges with the men.

HE WAS
Geo. Jennings Was in the Clutches of
Blackmailers.

Geo. Jennings, a Cheyenne man who
went out to Washington Territory and
made a fortune In real estate a couple Of
years ago was here yesterday. Mr.. Jen
nings was the central figure in a very sen.
s%ational story which was telegraphed all
over the country about three months ago.
The earlier versions of the alleged spicy af-
fair made George a double dyed william
who wrecked the family of another man
and fed. Subsequently, it was learned
that he had narrowly escaped being heav-
lily mulcted by a pair of notorious black
mailers. The first bid was for $40, 900,
This was decreased until at s o o'clock in the
evening the injured husband was very
willing to accept $500. During the entire
day Jennings had been kept a prisoner in
his room. He made a break for liberty,
reaching the yard only to find three of
fcers who had been secured by the black
mailers. One of these he laid low by a
blow from a six-shooter. The other two
fled at sight of the weapon.
George lodged detectives clear across
the continent, but was betrayed in New
York by a supposed friend. He was held
there twenty days, but the blackmailers
skipped and the authorities did not push
the charge of assaulting an officer. Mr..
Jennings was completely indicated In the
eyes of the law and his friends. There
was absolutely no foundation for the SER
ious charges made by the blackmilers,
who we're strongly i~ntrenched, being able
to induce the governor OF Washington
Territory to offer 81, 900 reward for their
victims arrest. This was not paid.

Mrs. Thompson, wife of a shoemaker,
lodged complaint against her husband a
couple of weeks & alleging hat he was
abusive and would not support her prop
erly. Thompson said the plaintiff was a
bigamist, having a husband in PennsYl-
vania. She claimed to have been di-
vorced before marrying Thompson. Her
first husbands namc was Roe. Judge
Maginnis ordered that the woman re-
ceive a weekly allowance until there could
be a hearing. A letter received from
Pennsylvania Yesterday. cleared Mrs.
Thompson of the charge OF bigamy. 1t
contained a copy of a decree of divorce
separating herself and Roe, the first hus-
band.

Increasing Rolling Stock.

Within the past five months the Union
Pacific road has ADDED to its equipment
over 1000 cars and is contemplating the
purchase Of still more. The Irregular average
Of good roads is five cars per mile. Last
year, that of the Union Pacific was two
and a half, but at present the average is
three and one-half. A prominent official
said that had the road owned or controlled
more cars last year, the business Of trans
porting corn alone would have been at
least 10 per cent greater. Present lndica-
tons are that the corn crop and cattle
shipments this year will be immense and
better facilities for handling will be pro-
yided.

An Attempt to Burn Douglas.


An attempt was made Wednesday
night to fire our town. Presumably at
midnight or thereabouts, someone pro.
cured a box, filed it with chips, satul ated
them with Kerosene and placed among
them a lighted candle, covering over the
whole a heavy wooden shirt. By putting
the shirt over the box the incendIary's
purpose was no doubt To prevent the
light from the candle revealing his iden-
tity-giving him a chance to get away.
His cautiousness, however, proved the
means of his defeat. Before the candle
had burned down sufficiently to ignite the
chips the heavy shirt fell in upon the
flame. putting it out. The apparatus
was placed between the opera house and
the building adjoining.
