was pounding step on the piazza, a
ring at the bell. The servant hustled
through the hall and threw open the
door. 1t was not messenger from
the depot but a stalwart, sunburnt
man in rough ranch garb who
whipped off his broad -brimmed hat
and stood abashed within the hall as
he asked for Mr.. Folsom.
And all of a sudden over went the
piano-stool with crash, and out into
the hall, joyous, bounding, light as a
fairy, a vision of dark, girlish beauty,
went Pappoose.
why, Ned Lannion!" she cried, as
she seized the swarthy young fellows
hands and shook them up and down.
Don't you know me-Winona that
used to be? Why, how'well you look!
When did you leave the ranch? How
did you leave them? Is Hal here-or
coming"
"We left there early yesterday
morning, mum. They're all well now,
'cept Jake, and he'll come out all
right, but we had close call A war
party of Sioux jumped us "Wednesday
afternoon, and they'd got away with
us but for Lieut.. Dean and his troop.

Ned" gasped Elinor, you don't
mean they attacked the ranch?"
Nome. We was down the Laramie
rounding up horses. There was a
dozen bucks in the party. It's the
first time they've come across in a
year that I know of, and they won t
be apt to try it again. We shot two
of 'em and the cavalry drove 'em a
running fight, so hard that they had
to leave one of their wounded behind
them. He died in minute. 1t was"
and then Ned Lannion gulped and
stumbled and choked in embarrass-
ment.
"Who was it?" demanded Mr.. Fol-
som, his rugged face pale and twitch-
ing, his eyes full of anxiety.
"Chaska, sir. You know"
Folsom gripped him by the shoul-
der "And Burning Star-did you see
him? Was he there?"
'Yes, sir; but those boys of Lieut..
Deans gave them a lickin' they'll
never forget. The ranch is safe as if
it was here in Gate City, only Hal he
couldn't come himself, and he knowed
you'd be anxious for full particulars,
so he sent me in with the cavalry.
They're out at the fort now"
"Jessie!" cried Elinor, in delight that
overmastered the emotion with which
she had listened to the tale of her
brothers recent peril. 'Marshalrs here
almost home. It's just as we said,
Jess. Do come down. He was there
just in time to save my brothers life
to drive the Indians back to the river.
Come quicll-I want to hug you!" And
her dark eyes flashing with joy and
excitement danced full upon the bulky
form of the major, slowly issuing from
the parlor door, then beyond as she
went bounding by him, all eagerness
to clasp her bonny friend in her arms
and shower her with congratulations.
And so it happened that both the girls
were at the rear of the hall entwined
in each others arms at the foot of
the stairs when the ranchman an
swered Folsom's next question, and
then broke out with the abrupt an
nouncement: II never see a young Of
ficer handle his men better. We'd all
been in hell by this time if it wasn't
for him; yet, by God, sir, the moment
he got into the post they clapped him
in arrest"

Yet the soil is kept we'll worked,
no weeds appear, the vines are in
all respects as we'll cared for as

goes to show that this vast diff
ference is wholly due to fertilizer
and the lack Of it. And from

The special meeting of the Associa-
ton of Railway Managers held in Chi
cagO the other day is said TO have
come TO the conclusion that some of
the recent congestion in railway bust
ness was due to the inefficiency of en-
plOyes. and it is reported that de-
termination was reached to see if an
increase of wages would not have the
effect of stimulating them to better
work. No doubt the experiment will
be heartily welcomed by all railroad
men, who. as q class. certainly de
serve good wages, and ought TO be
thoroughly efficient.

The UnconquerabIe Boer.

At several points in the Transvaal
and the Orange Free State, Lord
Kitchener reports the Beers as at
lacking bodies of British troops in
large numbers and fighting with great
determination.

were assailed by Beers lin over

casualties were severe" At Lang

hours" and December 20 Botha. with
500 Beers, surprised Col. Damant at
.TafeI-Kop, killing two British officers
and twenty men and wounding TWEEN
ty others. including Col. Damant HIM
self. This is certainly hot fighting,
with the balance of losses heavily
against the British and on top of this
comes intelligence of further victor
les on the part of the intrepid DeWet.
The skeleton present during this
holiday season in Great Britain is the
still mconquered Boer. And these
reports of Kitchener make it quite
uncertain whether another Christmas
will not still find him still stubborn

Mr.. Carnegie seems to be very much
in earnest about founding a national
university at Washington. and his
proposal to make the donation S2j.-

urged to it. There seems to- he nc. OBJ

owes it to the federal government.

poses. Let us have university.

The Cry for Justice viii Not Down

If President Roosevelt imagines
that he can stop discussion of the
matter, even in army and navy circles
he has undertaken the most ambi-

questions are never suppressed. The
more suppression is attempted the
more violent is their outbreak. and if
there is great moral question the
doing of justice is one. Civilization
demands justice even to the poorest
and meanest citizen of the republic,
and nothing can call out criticism
more than a nOpen and fragrant re-
fusal of justice. Has President
Roosevelt so soon forgotten the exc

Valuable Art Calendar Free.

Perhaps none of the many high
priced calendars found in the art
stores this season will possess more
real beauty and worth than the Fairy
Art Calendar for 1902. offered by the
" X. Fairbank company. 1t not on
" eclipses all former efforts of this
company, but it undoubtedly eXcels
all rivalry i'm this line of publicity. 1t
is. indeed. work of art, and must
be seen to be appreciated.
Aside from the calendar proper,
there are four art supplements pre-
senting exquisite figure compositions
selected from the famous Paris salon
pictures, painted by the celebrated
French artist Edouard Bisson. Each
of these pictures is faithfully repro
duced in all the beautiful colorings
of the originals. They bear no let
tering whatever. and are therefore
suitable for framing and valuable as
most excellent reproductions of four
famous paintings. Each is well
worthy of being framed for any
household, but they can be used for
decorative purposes without franz
ing, as each is provided with a fas-
tener.
The " X. Fairbank company are
mailing the beautiful calendar free to
anyone returning 10 Fairbanks Fairy
soap oval fronts, or sending 10 two
cent stamps. Returning 10 oval
fronts. however. is the best and sur
est way to obtain the Fairy Art Cal
endar. All grocers sell Fairy soap.

The prediction that the democrats
would regret the independence
of Cuba was greeted only
by republican applause. The
attitude of the two parties is
plain. The democratic party has
never regretted its stand for the
principle of the Monroe doctrine,
that this continent should be devoted
to liberty and independence. We do
not believe it will ever favor the sys-
tenn of forcibly absorbing a weaker

High water in the Platte river. caused

railroad traffic over the bridges of the Bur

South Bend and the Missouri Pacific al
Louisville. The water began to rise early
yesterday morning, but did not get up high
enough to cause alarm until about ) o'clock
this evening. Since s o'clock 1t has been
going down and 1t is believed now that all
the bridges arc out of danger. Trains were
run over the Burlington and Rock Island
bridges tonight. but at slow speed, to avoid
any possible accident.
At Louisville the water was reported
higher than at any other point on the river,
the Missouri Pacific tracks at that place
being submerged two inches under the surf
ace. Evening trains on this road. both to
and from Omaha, were taken around by the
way of Plattsmouth. work train was
started for Louisville late this afternoon
Rocks will be placed around the piles Of
the bridge there to prevent damage from
the water. Reports received here tonight
indicate that the water is gradually going
down and at its present rate will be down
below the danger point by tomorrow morn.
