COMING CATTLE STATE.
Great Things Predicted of Nebraska
for the Next Year.

Great Things Predicted of Nebraska
for the Next Year.
In an interview Edward Cudahy, of
the Cudahy Packing company at Lin
coin, Neb., asserts that there are more
cattle and hogs being fed in Nebraska
at the present time than ever before.
He says that next year more fine cat
tie and hogs will be sent out of Ne
braska to the Chicago and Omaha
markets than the cattlemen of the
west ever dreamed of, and he makes his
calculations from figures which he has
received from every precinct in the state
of Nebraska during the last two
months.
Mr.. Cudahy expects a greater increase
in the sheep market of the section about
Lincoln than in cattle and hogs. He
estimates that 100000 sheep are be-
ing fed in Nebraska right now. That is
100000 above the average. Most of
these sheep are in large punches and
are being we'll taken care of. They are
sent into Nebraska because the winters
are milder and the loss consequently
lighter.

WANT THEIR SHARE.
London Capitalists to Reach Out After
KlOndike Gold.

KlOndike Gold.
A dispatch to the New York World
from London says: London capitalists
seem to be resolved to share in the big
profits anticipated from a rush to the
Klondike next spring.
The Vancouver and Northern Ship
ping and Trading company, working
in connection with the Canadian Pa
ci6c railway, with capital of $75O,0o0,
privately subscribed by six sharehold-
ers, purchased two old Cunarders-the
Bothnia and the Scythia-and two cape
mail steamers, as the nucleus of fleet
to run from Vancouver to Kondike
ports, commencing on March 10.
Both ships are chartered for freight
by Upton, the millionaire provision
merchant, for the voyage out, and he
is said to have a scheme for building a
new town, to be called Liptonia, near
Skaguay. This enterprise is understood
to be the result of the visit to Skaguay
of Hon. James Burke Roche, who has
just returned.

HUGE K RAY MACHINE SHOWN.
Prof. TrOvvbridge Produces One with
n Force of LOO. 900 Volts.

Prof. TrOwbridge Produces One with
Force of 100000 Volts.
The greatest x ray machine in the
world was exhibited at Cambridge,
Mass, the other night in the Lawrence
scientific school of Harvard college.
The new apparatus has the astonish-
ing electric motive force of 100000
volts, which is about equal to the voltage
of 2,4OO electric cars. It gives spark 4S
inches long, an achievement hitherto
unknown.
Last summer Prof. John Trowbridge
had a machine that gave voltage of
100000. This was one of the largest x
ray machines ever built. Instead of be-
ing satisfied with this, Prof. Trow-
bridge decided to double its strength,
and this he did by doubling the bat
teries and the condensers of the ma
chine. The condensers are charged in
series, and by an ingenious mechanical
device, consisting of a swinging frame,
they are discharged in parallel upon the
two terminals. There are 60 condensers,
with a capacity of 10000 each, giving a
total of 100000; the number of stor-
age cells is 10000. Prof. Trowbridge
has proved that the length of the spark
is exactly proportional to the voltage
lengths over one inch.

VOLUNTEERS WIN IN RACINE.

Judge Flett Holds Invalid Ordinance
Forbidding Service on Street.
The Volunteers Of America will con-
tinue to hold meetings upon the public
square OF, Racine, Wis, and Mayor
Frederick Graham and Chief of Police
John w. johnson will proba bly, not
again attempt to stop them, as the lat
ter were beaten the other day in their
suit to suppress them.
Capts. Wilson and Bryant, of the
Volunteers,were arested'a week ago on
a charge of addressing a multitude Of
people in the street, the action being
brought under an old section of the city
charter. Six local ministers took sides
with the captains and bailed them out
Of the county Jail, where they were con-
fined, hearing of their cases having
been postponed.
When the cases came before Judge
Flett large number of church people
were in the courtroom. Witnesses were
introduced upon the part of the city,
but the defendants offered no testi-
mony, their attorney moving that the
action be dismissed on the ground that
the ordinance of the city charter per-
tanning to the case was unconstitu-
tional
The city attorney admitted that in his
opinion portion of the ordinance was
not constitutional, but the other part
he desired the judge to pass upon.
Judge Flett in a lengthy opinion then
held that the ordinance under which
the two men had been arrested was in
valid and dismissed the cases.
The city council will decide whether
the case shall be appealed to the SUI
preme court, but such action is doubt
full. Meanwhile Capt. Bryant is consult
ing attorneys with view of commence
ing suit for damages against Chief
Johnson.

CuriOus Landslide.

A curious landslide occurred a few
days ago in the village of sattel, in Cam
ton Schwyz. An inn situated by the
side of the road which runs across the
slope Of hill was carried, without sus-
tanning any injury, 80 feet down the
hillside. stopping just short of being
precipitated in the river Steiner. The
road in front of the house, the garden,
and all the immediate surroundings of
the inn are intact. By the house were
two large elms, and even these have in
no way suffered.

DEATH ENDS A ROMANCE.
Leonard Helm, CT Royal Descent,
Seeks Lost Sweetheart.

Leonard Helm, CT Royal Descent,
Seeks Lost Sweetheart.
Leonard Helm, native of Bavaria,
once colonel in the German army, and
belonging to wealthy family, died the
other day at ST. Louis in abject poverty
i'm the city hospital, of organic trouble.
Helm was IS years old, and was of royal
parentage. His father was relative of
old Emperor William, grandfather Of
Germany's present war lord.
When the Franco-Prussan war broke
out young Helm was drafted and his
regiment was at once pushed to the
front. He distinguished himself for
bravery and was promoted to the rank
of colonel.
At the close of the war he attended
ball one evening in Berlin and fell in
love with young lady present. Later
they were engaged and almost on the
him that she was of French descent, and
was engaged by the French govern
ment as spy. Helm was astounded, but
determined to many her. His father
learned of the young woman's commits
sion and broke up the affair, finally spir-
iting her away.
Helm swore he would find her. He de-
serted from the army, left his country
and roamed through the streets of Paris
over year, vainly hoping to meet his
fiancee. He conceived the idea she was
in America, and has searched through
every lar &c city in the United States for
Is years, but without avail. He was
naturalized in 1884 and in 1895 came to
St. Louis, cut off from home, without
friends and penniless. He worked at
small jobs until he grew i'll. Physicians
say he died of broken heart.
Just before he died, not realizing the
end was so near. he said he still hoped
to find his lost sweetheart.

THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED
Employment Of Convicts Without
Competing with Free Labor.
New Law in New York State whereby
Supplies for State Institutions
Shall Be Supplied by Pris-
Oners Is q Success.

The problem of how state convicts
shall be kept at work without Compel
ing with free labor has seemingly been
solved in New York state by the law
which went into effect on January l, of
this year. This law provided that all
state institutions, departments and po-
itical divisions should purchase all
their supplies and articles of equipment
from the prisoners if such could be
manufactured there. Since the law
went into operation acquisitions have
been received for over $75o,OOo worth
of goods, which guarantees the continu-
Gus employmento of convicts. AS it costs
but 100000 annually to maintain the
prisons, they are therefore made self
sustaining under the new system.
Speaking of the matter, Gen. Austin
Lathrop, superintendent of state pris-
ons, said:
1--WE are gratified with the result of
the first years working of the new sys-
tenn of convict labor and I shall so re-
port to the legislature. None of the
methods of employing convicts during
my administration of ten years have
been self supporting with the exception
of the new one. An enormous amount
of money will be saved to the state.
Nearly 100000 worth of goods have
been ordered from the prisons this year.
Next year trade will amount to 1,000,-
900. We sell at a price below that of the
markets so that the books of the insti-
tutions themselves show a net profit in
making purchases from US. We are
certainly in favor of its continuance be-
cause it not only gives the $500 con-
victs in the state prisons all the work
they can do, but it also makes prison
self-supporting."
This interview foreshadows the re-
port of superintendent Lathrop to the
legislature on the workings of the pres
ent system of convict labor.

Bathed Deeply, but Came Up Dry.

Members of a class in Cambridge had
been rather fippant in regard to some
pompous authority and a fellow was
eulogizing him. Said he: you are
probably ignorant, young gentlemen,
that the venerable person of whom you
have been speaking with such levity is
one of the profoundest scholars of our
age-indeed, it may be doubted whether
any man of our age has bathed more
deeply in the sacred fountains of an
tiquity." "Or came up drier, sir" was
the reply of the undergraduate.

fraud the Customs.
An attempt to defraud the govern
ment was prevented by the United
States appraiser at New York the other
day when an importation involving be-
tween 200 and 300 carats of small dia-
monds was invoiced at about $24 per
carat The diamonds had evidently
been put into solution of resin and
grease, thus dulling their color to such
an extent that they appeared to be OF
little value. When washed in alcohol
and hot water the appraiser found the
stones were of fine quality and ex-
ceptionally well cut. The duties and
penalties will now amount to more than
$4,000, whereas under the invoice less
than $1,000 would have been demanded.

REED SITS UPON TILLMAN.

Speaker Reed and Senator Tillmar
had little mix.up on the floor of the
Senate yesterday over the South Caro-
lima dispensary liquor law, which wa:
tart while it lasted. Speaker Reed hav.
ing dismissed the members of the
House for the day by declaring recess
until to-day, ambled over to the Senate
chamber to get one of the numerous
senatorial recipes for killing time. Sen
ator Morgan, of Alabama, was talking
to very slim Senate, with the Pacific
railroad funding bill as his topic.
Senator Tillman spied Speaker Re ed
as he entered the chamber, and little
later the Senator, fearing he would
have hard time getting special or
der in the House to enable him to get q
federal law passed to enforce the dis
peusary law in the Palmetto State,
walked over and preached the subject
to Reed, with an amusing result.
"Look here, MIR. Speaker" said Sen
ator Tillman, addressing Mr.. Reed; II
wish you would give my friend Lati-
mer a special rule to enable him to call
up my dispensary bill in the House."
Let me see," drawled the Speaker,
with his characteristic blandness, "that
is bill to override the decision of a
United States Court?"
'No, sir" retorted Senator Tillman,
notify. sit is to express the wishes of
the people,"
"The people of the United States, or
the people OF South Carolina?" inquir.
ed the Speaker. with tautaliziug
smile upon his round, fat face.
"The people of South Carolina" re-
piled Senator 1illman quickly, begin
ming to realize that he was not making
much Roadway with his request.
"The legislature of South Carolina
legislstes for the people of that State, !"
was the Speakers non.committal, but
exasperating response to the Senator.
THAT fellow Reed thinks he is At
las, with the responsibility of the world
on his shoulders" remarked Senator
Tillman in disgust, as he retired from
the tilt with the Speaker, minus an
assurance of special order for his pet
bill,
