Probably workers never visited any

years since the city has been stirred up
along temperance lines and as it is
quite unusual that two noted women

so remote a place, their visit was great

On Sunday there were four mass
meetings. In the morning Miss Murcutt

the other day. Their net had been out for hours, and they were about to pull ashore in despair when they saw the big floats suddenly swish around under the. impetus of heavy body. They knew at once that they had made a strike, and no small one at that, and they began to pull in with renewed hope and energy. Denn was at the front hauling on the net and trying tod suppress his ex- citement while he toiled on the lines and whistled for luck. He was grad ually drawing the big fish to the boat when it gave an extra heavy lunge and started off to reach deep water and liberty again. The pull was too much for Denn. He tugged with all his might, but the fish tugged hard est, and over into the river went fish erman, net and all.
 Leaving the boat to care for itself, Dennis hardy partner sprang nimbly to the rescue, and after a deal of effort finally succeeded in getting a hook fast in the net and line out to Denn. The two men then worked together and landed the biggest stur- geon of the season. It weighed 300 pounds, and besides the flesh yielded a full keg of caviar, worth $7o keg.

WorISmen Discover the Statue of the French General Sunk During
 the Paris Commune.

The statue of Napoleon which adorned the top of the Vendome col umn when, during the reign of the Paris commune, the people pulled down the ''ungodly memorial standing in stupid glorification of war;" has been accidentally fshed out of the Seinel by workmen after mysterious disappearance of 30 years.

COMPUTES BY NEW DEVICE.
Prof. Hough, of Northwesfern Uni. yersfty, Invents n Machine for
 u8 Astronomers' Use.

Prof. George Hough, head of the astronomical department at North western university, at Evanston, Ill., is at work upon tabulating machine which, when completed, will be the only one of it's kind in the world. At the present time astronomers have no machine by which they can compute, and Prof Hough is constructing one which can be. used for almost any kind of astronomical calculation He says that with this machine a figure of IS numbers can be raised to the fourth power in 30 seconds. The posi- tion of stars in the heavens can also be determined for an indefinite pc riod by the use of this machine.
 > A calculating machine for astron- omers that would work successfully has never yet been invented. G. and B. Scheutze invented a machine of this kind in 1856, but it was not successful as very few persons knew how to op- crate it and it soon got out of order Prof. Hough made several improve ments on it later and intends to use many of it's principles in his new ma chine.

they couldn't say no, exactly" and yet were opposed to the idea They raight we'll be, because they knew their incapacity and felt that Langdon would soon be after them with sharp stick.
 The two roads, through their repre- sentatives, had also something to say. MT. Langdon was brave officer and all that, a good man to have at hand in time of trouble, but one who would probably make more trouble than he could cure. Again, the executive found that there was an undercurrent among the political soldiers and the manage ment of the roads inimical to Lang don's advancement. Election was com- ing on. Campaign funds were needed. Put away the sword; states can be saved without it," was something any statesman could say, from Richelieu down, but where was the statesman who could say states could be saved without money? The governor knew that personally and professionally Langdon was the man of all others for that promotion, but he gave it to the major, gentleman who didn't know a cartridge from a cat-o'-nine-tafls, and that autumn in an editorial genuine in its regret The Banner referred to the removal from their midst of the law firm of Cresswell & Langdon. It was understood that brilliant prospects awaited the gentlemen comprising it in the field of their new operations-the rapidly developing region of the mines and forests of the far northwest. It was understood that they had already secured, their office in the heart of the great lumber district of the ColumbiaS and that, except in memory, Nebraska would know them no more. That win ter Cresswell & Langdon were enrolled among. the taxpayers of Spartanville. Another year, and the Kentuckian was in his element and the legislature. Rilile Langdon stuck to the desk and to courts until once again importuned by men who knew his deeds in Nebras- ka to take the head of a stalwart com pany of far northwestern militiamen. Good gracious, Langdon," said Cress- well, haven't you wasted enough time in that thankless work? What good do you ever expect to get out of it?'
 "Two goods, colonel,' said Langdon tranquilly. "One is that am paying the nation for my education; another, gaining for myself hold among the men from whom the nation must find her soldiers next time she goes to bat tie. It's got to come, and when it does go out at the head of regiment and not the tail of a battery. Mark you thatr'

LOOKS TO AMERICA.
No Show for German Woo1en Dress
 Goods Industry at Home.
Combination of Circumstances Drive kr to Seek Establishment in More Favorable Quarters Chance
 for American Capital.

A special to the New York Tribune probably no German enterprise which has undergone, within comparatively short time such marked change as the woolen dress goods industry. of this and neighboring districts. Until 1900 prosperous conditions prevailed, but early in that year there was fall ing off in the values of wool and wool en yarns of 50 to 60 per cent. Enormous financial sacrifices followed. The high tariff of Russia and the establishment of factories on a large scale at Ladze and other places in that country, the loss of the valuable United States mar ket, and the decrease in exports in Austria, England and Scandinavia are among the causes of depression. Last year two-thirds of the looms were idle, nor is there any prospect of improve ment. Of the manS manufacturers previously engagedin the dress goods trade with our country, only seven or eight are still left and these ship less each season"
 These statements are made by Charles Neuer, consular agent 1t Gera, in report to the state department. He says further:
 Some of the prominent manufac- turers of this and other German cities have established branch factories in Passias and Philadelphia, and, it is said, with great success. I am con vinced that more would follow if in possession of the necessary capital. Many communications have been re- ceived by this office from real estate agents, railroad companies and private persons in all parts of the United States wishing to sell property for woolen mills, but, while I may claim the merit of having been the mediator in the partial transplantation of one of the largest Gera factories to our shores, my further endeavors were, on account of lack of capital, in vain
 "In my opinion, this is an excellent opportunity for some of our large capitalists to combine with intelligent and reliable European manufacturers in the promotion of home industry That such an undertaking will prove first-class investment is shown by ex- isting establishments

Surgeon, Caught in Net, Pulls One of His Captors Overheard Be-

When the sturgeon fishing season opened John A. Denn was one of the first men to come to Bayside, N. J., from his home in Penns Grove and join in the fishing colony. Denn is one of theN best known men in the county, and at the last session of the legislature he was doorkeeper in the senate. The fishermen have had very poor luck this season and many of them have given up in disgust and returned to their homes. Denn and his partner, however, decided to stick it out and trust to luck to make them whole.
 They were out in the bay trying once more to land something of value

 swer to his seniors remarks. He was having an experience of his own.
 The command of the regiment to which the rifles were assigned as Con- pany c had been vested in a veteran of the civil war who once knew some thing of old time tactics, but could not master the new. In June the regi- ment was under canvas and such in- StructionS as the colonel could give it for an entire week, and the whole or ganiZation could see that the Brent wood and Gunnison companies that had had the advantage of Langdon's coaching were head and shoulders above the rest. One day the colonel was i'll, and the lieutenant colonel was suddenly confronted by a possibility he had never contemplated, that of having to drill the battalion. Camp was to be inspected next day by a regular" There would surely be a review, with the whole countryside out to see and scores of fellows from other regiments to criticise. 1t ended in Cap tain Langdon's being asked to tact" as commanding officer, which he did with consummate ease and gave them hours of such coaching" as they'd never had and more all the afternoon and fol lowing morning, to the end that the eight companies passed a surprisingly creditable inspection, and their review was the best given by any of the state forces that summer. The old colonel resigned at the close of the camp, the lieutenant colonel waived promotion, the officers signed paper asking that Langdon be made colonel, and then some of them privately told the ad- iutant general they did so because
