Mr.. Dewey is a Chicago capitalist. who
has become interested in the ranch bust
ness. He owns two ranches in Kansas.
One Of 1900 acres is located near Man
haitian. Kan. Mr.. Dewey spends a con-
siderable portion Of his time there during
the summer. He entertains big crowds
of eastern friends there. In the winter
he stays in Chicago. The other Dewey
ranch is located in Rawlins. Sherman
and Cheyenne counties. 1T contains over
100000 acres and is being enlarged as fast
as Mr.. Dewey can buy adjoining land
If he can't buy every quarter that he
wants, he simply buys the land around
1t and then fences it in. However he
always offers first TO give the settler a
fair price for his claim. When the SiegeI-
Sanders Commission company of Kansas
City. went to pieces, Frank Rockefeller
took the SiegeI-Sanders ranch here. 1t is
composed of about sixteen sections of
land The Rockefeller ranch was in

NEW BOOKS.

NEW BOOKS.
No richer materials for the historical
novelist's purposes can be found in Amer
lean annals than those furnished by the
story Of Major Andre and Benedict Ar
mold. 1t is surprising that they have
not been more fully utilized than they
have. Hamblen Sears has done well TO
choose the Arnold episode as the theme
of his galloping romance, None but the
Brave" though it can hardly be said that
he has made more than a pleasing melo-
dramatic use of it. The reader who loves
exciting adventure artfully mingled with
/ pretty sentiment. however, will find in the
( book 300 pages of assorted thrills.
I The hero, Merton Balfort, tells the story
( in the first person. and in the stereo-
typed way. The necessary complications
are skillfuny secured through a chance
meeting Of Lieutenant Balfort and De-
borah Phillips. with circumstances OF
such a nature that they are forced into
marriage. AS Balfort is an officer In
Washington's army, while Deborah is q
sunshiny maiden of royalist sympathies,
the situation at once becomes interesting
enough TO carry the reader through
IN enty-five chapters OF romantic love ana
adventure. When Washington commits
sions Balfort TO capture Arnold and
SPY named Hazeltine the story is Al last
in full swing. The excitement Of pur-
suit is complicated with a iangle Of mo-
tives I'm the mind Of Deborah, who has
learned 10 love her occidental husband,
yet who has a personal interest in the
men he is pursuing. Arnold, Of course,
escapes. but Hazeitine comes 10 an awful
end at the hands OF the hero and the
author.
The hook was evidently written with
one eye on the reading public and the
other on the stage. We have a bragga-
docio hero. a heroine of over-vaTyinE
charm. a jovial giant for first comedian.
and melancholy man with "a sad secret
ny way OF contrast. The scenes are also
curiously fitted for htree-act play Tho
weakness Of the story lies in tho fact
that, while the various episodes IN thefa-
selves are dramatic. they become en-
tifeiy melodrauatlc when taken together |

FIRE ALARM TELEGRAPH.
Sample Box of GameweIi System at
Fire Hall.

The apparatus illustrating the
Gamewell fire alarm system which
was to have been here during the re-
cent convention of firemen, but failed
to be forwarded in time, has arrived
and is temporarily installed at the
fire station. 1t will be kept there a
number of days for the inspection OF
those who are interested in such mat
tiers. Any one DESTROYS of learning it's
method of operation is invited to call
at the station and Captain Bond will
take pleasure in explaining it and also
give a practical illustration of it's
working.
Tomorrow evening the box will be
connected with the bell in the tower
of the new city hall and a number of
tests will be made. Instead of a con-
tinuous alarm the number of the box
will be struck.
This announcement is made for the
benefit of those who wish to see the
system undergo an actual test and
to quiet the fears of those who might
become alarmed thinking a fire had
occurred.

BoTHA TELLS THE RESULTS
BOER GENERAL CABLES TO NEW
YORK PAPER.
Says Their Words Have Been Miscon
strued and Actions Assigned
False Motives.

New oYrk, Oct. 30.-General Botha
of the Boer commission now in Eu-
rope trying to raise funds for the re-
demption of the ruined farming in
terests of South Africa, has cabled
to the World at length on the result
of the general mission up to date.
The article says in part:
Our words have been misconstru-
ed; our actions have been assigned
false motives. We called on our peo-
pie to come in and lay down their
arms. How many million pounds
were saved to the British nation by
that surrender it is needless now to
reckon up. Having accepted the terms
Lord Kitchener was authorized to Of
fer us, we never sought to have them
modified. What we sought for was
not a modification of the terms of the
peace treaty, but the immediate help
of which our people are in need.
Having to plead a cause which
should speak e%loquently enough for
itself, we are sorely disappointed by
the result. At least we have had ev-
cry reason to consider that we have
failed in our errand. 1t is assumed
that we did not take kindly to a loan.
That %supposition was gratutious. AS
to the shape in which material help
should be given, we had neither the
right nor the will to pick and choose.
But, having seen no prospect of re-
ceiving such help, we appealed in
urgent need to all the nations of the
world.
THAT course has been sharply crit
icised. So far as we can see all our
appeals to foreigners implied was that
our people were in sore need of in
slant relief and that we were willing
to undergo the humiliation of plead.
ing for it.
Memories of help withheld, de-
spite pressing need and urgent appeal
for justice or generosity, are certain
to live long, die hard and inaict dam
age out of all proportion to their
seeming Importance"

TEsTIFlEs FOR HIMSELF.
MoIineux Denies He Is Guilty Of
Adams Murder.

New York, Oct. 31.-Roland B.
Molineux went on the witness stand
today and denied that he was guilty
of the murder of Mrs Katherine J..
Adams. In his direct examination he
told of his feeling of anger against
Cornish and Of his leaving the Knick-
erbocker club because of trouble
about Cornish. Answering questions
put by Governor Black, he declared
that he had never made cyanide of
mercury; that he did not buy and
had never seen the bottle holder in
which the poison was sent; that he
did not mail the poison package and
finally he asserted his innocence of
the charge against him. The cross
examination by Mr.. Osborne brought
out nothing startling up to the mid
day recess. Molineux remained calm
under Mr.. Osborne's questions and
he showed his GOODNESS and readiness
to reply when he was asked: David
N. Calvalho is your expert on hand
writing, is he not?" by replying: 81
have no expert on handwriting"
Molineux said he and H. C. Barnett,
who died ii 1898, were friends. The
prisoners wife was not in court while
he testified. She has not attended
any session of the court at this trial.
