POSSIBLY pREJUpIceD NEWS

Stories of Boer outrages are
obviously to be viewed tentatively.
The British control all communica-
tions. and American news must
come almost entirely through Brit
ish channels. In war no nation
can be expected to treat its enemy
with absolute justice; hence the
suspicion with which British ac-
counts of the cruelties of the other
side should be viewed, at least
until verification is possible. All
sorts of wild stories are now com
ing from Cape Town. Yesterday
an early report had it that the
Beers had blown upa train load
ed with women and children. Lat
or it came out that the Beers
had blown up a British armored
train loaded only with soldiers
which was a very different matter.
The other day there was a report
that Mr. Lanham. secretary of the
South African league at Krugers-
dorf, had been kicked to death by
Beers. 1t is proved now that Mr..
Lanham is alive aud well, and
never was kicked by Beers. Very
likely, before the last Boer flies
the white flag there will be plenty
of outrages and cruelties perpetrat-
ed. Such is war. All the out
RACES may not BE- on one side, how
ever. Springfield Republican.

RAILROADS ARE TOO BUSY
To Spare Time Even to Haul
Coal For Themselves.

Talk about business" said a
Rio Grande man at the depot last
night, "why we have never seen
anything like it. For the past
week we have been hauling freight
until actually the engines are get
lin tired and need rest. From
every section of the line comes
the complaint that we are not fur
nishing cars as quickly as they are
asked for, when as matter of fact
we are unable to get them in and
out fast enough 1t is the same
on all the roads, / understand, but
we are in really bad shape in some
respects. We have furnished cars
and cars until we have run short
of supplies ourselves. Why, with
in the past few days we have been
having kicks because of shortage
along certain portions of the line.
That is, coal for our own consump-
tion. In our anxiety to help out
our patrons we have neglected our
own interests and some of the sta
ton agents may have cold fingers
in the mornings on account of lack
of fires in their little offices. But
it can't be helped. If the people
will just bear with the roads for a
few days some relief will come in
the form of new cars" Denver

BUSINESS is FLouRlsHING.
"Happy CAL Wagner Talks of
Good Times in the East.

Mr.. H. G. Wagner. travelling
passenger agent of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul railway,
came into our city this morning
aud as usual he called on us. He
looked so smiling we said to him,
"Mr. Wagner. things must be going
very much in your favor" He
said, in part. that while in the Eas
for the past three months he dis
covered that the crops have been
something enormous, the largest
TINT they have had for years. The
people seem contented, are looking
well and flourishing. On asking
him how business in general was,
he said it was utterly beyond de
scription. The railroads are doing
the largest business they have ever
done. The Chicago, Milwaukee
and St Paul railroad is in want Of
cars to handle the business. AL
though their shops turn out three
new cars day in addition to the
large supply on hand, they still
have not a sufficient number to
transact the enormous business.
They have one contract for 500
cars. Another one for 500, being
to move the Omaha exposition
buildings to Milwaukee, Wiscon-
sin, the buildings having been
purchased for the Milwaukee ex-
position. Although the past two
months are usually the dull season
they have broken all records for
business. The first of last month
some changes took place in the
officers of the Milwaukee line. Mr..
A. j. Earring, formerly vice presi-
dent of the @. M. q st. P. rail
way, became president, and Mr..
Roswell Miller, formerly president,
was made chairman of the board
of directors of the Milwaukee line.
The mileage of this system is now
5000 miles, and in short time,
with what we are now buying and
building, it will aggregate 1900
miles. The Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul railway is certainly
in fine condition.

SEEKING A LOCATION.
Colorado City in the Race for the
Big G, anide Plant.

Colorado Springs, Oct. 25.-F.
B. Hover and j. NJ Hover, Jr,,
two capitalists of Buffalo, n. Y,
who are contemplating the erec-
ton of 100000 cyanide mill
somewhere in this district, were in
the city yesterday. They have
visited Cripple Greek and Florence
and are now looking over loca-
cation at Colorado City. The mill
will use the cyanide process and
have a capacity of $50 tons. 1t
has been decided to build either
in this city or at Florence. The
question of water rights and the
inducements offered by the two
cities will decide the matter.
Florence has offered twenty acres
of land and other inducements.

ADVERTISING NOT ONE SIDED.

Advertising is, indeed, one of
the great developments of the cen
tury 1t has revolutionized bus
mess and made it possible to ac-
complish in few years what
otherwise would have taken gen
erations TO compass. Today the
advertiser, through the medium of
the public press, can introduce his
article to the entire public almost
literally at a bound. Such a ser
want at the sellers elbow has nat
urally made business vastly differ
ent from what it was several hun
dred years ago. 1t is no longer
necessary, as it was in previous
generations, to coutine ones com
mercial transactions to a limited
area. In fact, the manufacturer of
today regards the world as his
field; and there are quite num-
ber of proprietary articles, widely
and favorably known in every
quarter of the civilized world which
have been introduced during the
lifetime of their present propriet-
ors, who are men only in the prime
of life! Without advertising
by which it is possible to reach
and influence hundreds of thou
sands of people simultaneously,
such result could not be accom-.
pli,hed in several generations, if
indeed it could be accomplished at
all. Nor has this advertising
benefited the seller only 1t has
brought to the knowledge of the
buyer the hundreds of improve
ments and articles by which life
can be made more pleasant; by
which the health can be preserved,
the palate gratified, the intellect
fed and satisfied. 1t is no exagger-
alton to say that 10 force has con
Quoted more to knit the world

THE OLDEST COPPER MINES
Ancient Workings Which Furn-
ish I'd Tools and Ornaments.

ISh "a OOlS and Ornaments.
The most ancient mines of which
we have record are those of Sinai,
which were worked from about 81
600 B. G. until about 1900 or 1900
b. O., the reason for their abandon
ment being the poor quality of ore.
From these mines the possession
of which was the occasion of sew
eral wars, was obtained the copper
used in making the scepter of Pepi
l king of the sixth dynasty, which
is now preserved in the British
Museum. Certain portions of the
mines, including the ruins of the
furnaces, the huts of the miners,
crucibles, and frag of tools
are still extant and form relics of
considerable archaeological and
metallurgical interest, The ore
in this locality occurs in some
specimens as turquoise and in
others as copper-hydro-silicate or
sandstone impregnated with copper
In some of the fragments of tools
arsenic as found, matter of inter-
est, as its use for hardening copper
was feature of the work of Greek
and Egyptian alchemists. That
processes similar to those employed
by modern metallurgists were
made use of is shown by devices
used and the finished product.

ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.
Interesting Spectacle Tonight Visible
Throughout the United States.


An almost total eclipse of the moon takes
place tonight, according to the predictions
of the astronomers of the world. 1t will be
visible throughout the United States
and as the moon is full at this time the
phenomenon will undoubtedly prove an in
teres ting spectacle. Old Luna is depend
able inhabitant of space. and its doingS may
be forecasted with more certainty than the
wise men displayed recently in connection
with the expected shower of meteors. An
eclipse may be predicted with excellent pre-
csion and it is seldom a forecast of this
kind goes awry.
The first encroachment of the earths
shadow on the lunar disk should occur at
6:45 o'clock this evening, but it will prob
ably be some minutes later before the out
line of the moon will be perceptibly af-
fected. Creeping further and further, the
shadow will be full upon the moon at S:26
o clock. while the brilliant surface will be
clear at minutes after 10 o'clock. In al
MANAGES and by astronomers tonights
eclipse is spoken of as partial, inasmuch as
only 966-1OO0ths of the moons disk will be
obscured. To all appearances, however 1t
will be total, as the bit of surface not
shaded will hardly be visible, except to
those observing through powerful tele-
SCOPES.
Eclipses of the moon as is well known
are caused by that body passing through
the earth's shadow. moon and earth being
in direct line from the sun. Even at the
moment of totality the moon does not be-
come entirely invisible, as might be sup
posed. from the fact that its Illuminating
agency-the SUMS screened by the terres-
trial globe. While in the shadow the moon
appears dull copper red. The reason for
this is that those rays of the sun which
pass through the atmosphere surrounding
the earth are refracted or bent out of their
course and are permitted to reflect family
upon the moons responsive surface The
exact amount of light falling upon the
moon at that time depends upon the con-
diion Of the weather

ON SERIOUS CHARGES.
Two ColOred Men Accused of Highway
Robbery.


Robbery.
William Jackson and George Robinson.
young colored men, are held at the first
precinct station on serious charges The
former has been identified by Mr. c. E..
Corkhill of sol 18th street as being one of
two men who robbed him in the monument
grounds Thursday night. Robinson, he
says, answers the description of the man
who was with jackson, but he is not able
to positively identify him. When arrested
Robinson had loaded revolver on him,
and he is held for carrying concealed
weapons, while his companion is charged
with highway robbery.
The prisoners were arrested in the Gen.
ter market yesterday by Policemen Acton
and Downs, because of the belief that they
answered the descriptions given by Mr..
Corkhill. The latter was in company with
young lady. when two colored men an
preached and demanded money. One of
them pointed revolver at Mr.. CorkhilPs
head, and he gave up 80 cents, all the
change he had. This morning the prisoners
were taken to police headquarters, where
they were measured. They were afterward
photographed for the gallery.
When the police questioned the prisoners
yesterday they said they belonged in this
city. One of them said he lived on Spring
street. while the other said his home was
in Clicks alley. The police made an inves-
tigation. and ascertained that the men did
not live at the places mentioned. 1t is be-
lieved they are from Newport News. They
will probably be tried in the Police Court
Monday.
