A Monument OF Literature,

olnce I''l the Encyclopedia Britannica
has been the browning work In English
literature. Its history and growth arc q
part of the history of the growth and dit
fusion of knowledge. AS enlightenment
and culture have increased, this nonu.
mental curriculum of learning has grown
and kept pace with them.
Tho success of the original, published
in III, was such that the publishers
were awakened to sense of the true i'm
portance Of the task they had in hand,
and to the necessity for moro comprehen-
sive scheme than at first adopted; and It's
reception inspired them to soon set about
Its enlargement and revision. Since then
1t has been the Standard and as the liter
airy world has demanded, it has run
through nine successive editions and sup
PIGMENTS, as follows
First edition, vols. published 1771.
Second edition, 10 vols, 177S-17S3.
{ Third edition. Is vols. 17SS-1733.
/ Supplement, 2 vols. 1901.
Fourth edition. 20 vols, 1S01-1S19
Fifth edition, 2 vols. completed 1917,
with supplement- of 8 vols, 1s16-1S24
Sixth edition, 2 vols. 1928.
Seventh edition, 81 vols, 1S30-1S42.
Eighth edition, 81 vols, 1S53-1sGl.
The reader will see that since this last
revision great scientific discoveries have
been made, much history has been written
unknown territory has been explored, and
countless mighty events have been written
by Time To keep pace with this progress,
we have the new large-type edition, en-
larged and revised to date in twenty five
volumes, average nearly 900 page each 49,
900 pages, 1000 subjects
The completion of the nj nth edition In
1889 has enabled the public to take tho
meas ure of this Incompatible work and
place it in contrast with other Cyclope-
dias. The result has been to establish be-
yond question its unqualified superiority.
1t is giant where others are pigmies. 1t
stands the noblest work in all literature;
the only representative of the advanced
thought and scholarship Of the world.
In the amount of brain work furnished 1t
UNNECESSARILY transoends all competi-
ton. 1t is the only Cyclopedia in which
each principal subject is treated by an &C
knowledged authority upon the subject.
No other has spent one-third as much
money on literary labor as the Britannica.
Not one has given $40, 900 for a single ar
ticle; or 5000 page for written matter,
as it has done. No other can show list
Of principal contributors either so emf
nsnt In their departments of scholarship,

or SO numerous. The full list of contri-
butors numbers 1l45 persons, and in

Another Jesse Jane. Ana,r.

Division Agent Stockton Of the Wells
Fargo Express Company, at Guthrie, Okla,
has paid to United States Marshal Mex $500
reward, to be paid out for the capture of
George Newcomb. one of the two bandits
who were brought in dead from the Flat
Iron country two months ago. Just who
the money will be paid to is a question, for
there Is a deep mystery surrounding the
death of these desperadoes. William Shafer,
the mysterious deputy marshal, said at
the time to be the captor, was not seen by
anybody, has never been seen or heard of
since and was undoubtedly a myth, as was
the reported battle on horseback. George
Newcomb's father asserts openly that his
son was murdered by his companions and
his body turned over to a deputy marshal
as the price of the freedom of the murder
ers, and an examination. of his wounds
shows that death was caused by the putting
OF a gun to his face and blowing off part
Of his head while he was lying down. It
Is generally believed that when the true
story Of the Staying of these men becomes
known 1t will surpass the killing Of Jesse
James, as far as treachery goes.

He is a very industrious lawyer, and has

Slaughter of American Sheep.

From the Breeders Gazette:
American sheep are still going to MARKET
in vast numbers. August. 1894. was known
as virtually panic month, SO great was the
rush of sheep into the Chicago market; yet
the report for August, 1895, shows an in
crease of 10000 head over that of the cor
responding month the preceding year, while
an excess of 5000 for the first week 10 Sep
TENDER indicates that the haste to sell is still
an uppermost feature. Under these condi-
lions many western sheep men have sold
out almost every one, two or three year old
sheep i'm their flocks, so that now their stock
is at the point of certain deterioration.
