One of the handiest publications we
have ever seen is book entitled "The
Century Book of Facts" AS its name
indicates is is a cyclopedia with topi-
cal arrangement of important facts
that busy people may easily refer to
within moments notice; concise and
condensed, yet comprehensive-sc -schol-
arly, authentic and up-to-date. Mr.. A.
Opegard is in the city selling the work
and is meeting with splendid success.
1t is exceedingly low priced, and is a
well-made, handsome volume. highly
recommended by the best authorities.

A Steel Bridge Tor Cheyenne River.

A Steel Bridge Tor Cheyenne River.
A contract has been entered into be.
tween the county commissioners and
H. 7. Ward & Co, of Tecumseh, Neb.,
for the construction of a new bridge
across the Cheyenne river at the mouth
OF Fall River. DR.. Jennings, who has
been active in the matter. was showing
us blue prints and specifications of the
new structure. 1t will be $50 feet long,
including the approaches, with two 80
foot steel spans. There will be four
hollow steel piers, 30 inches in diane
ter, each 90 feet long. These will be
placed upon bedrock, with bolts
drilled into the rocks and reaching up
into the piers. These piers are to be
filled with concrete, thus making them
heavy as rock and we'll fastened to
the bedrock. The blue print picture
of the bridge shows it to be very fine
structure, and one that we should
judge would last for ages. The con-
tract price is 1926, and the bridge is
to be completed by December Is, 1902.
The people of the county have already
subscribed S1O72.5O toward the bridge.
and it is expected that this will be in
creased to at least one half the cost of
the bridge-the county bearing the
balance of the cost. This has been
long needed, for frequently the Chey-
enne river is too high to be forded for
a week or two at a time, causing great
Inconvenience as we'll as loes of money
both to ranchmen as we'll as business
men of town.

GERMANY GIVES
BRITISH SHOWING UP
The Latters Move 10 Interfere ID
Spanish War.
pAUNcEFOrE MADE FIRST EFFORT.
At the Request Of the British Ambassador tho
Repre- .entatives Of the European Govern
ments Suggested That the Powers Declare
American Intervention in Cuba Did Not Ap
pear to Them to Be Justified.

Berlin, (By Cable).-The Official
Reichstnziger just published two docu.
ments on the attitude of the powers be-
fore the Spanish-American war
One is a cablegram received April IS
1858, from DR.. Won Holleben at Wash
ington, as follows;
The British Ambassador today tool
the initiative in a very remarkable man.
ner in a new collective step of the rep
resentatives of the great Powers here
We suppose the Queen Regent mad'
representations to the Queen OF Eng
land. In this sense the six representa-
tives, at the request of the British Am
bassador, are telegraphing to their gov
ernments as follows:
I'm view of the attitude of Congress
no hope of peace can any longer be en-
tertained, and the general opinion is thai
Spain would also have no objection tC
war A good basis for fresh negotia
tions appears to be afforded by the note
of the Spanish Minister, April 10. Il
this view is shared by the government!
it seems advisable to dispel the erro'
neous notion here that armed interven
ton in Cuba meets with the support Of
the civilized world. (The President ir
his message of December said it wa!
only in that case that he desired inter.
vention.)
"The representatives of the Power,
here think in these circumstances that
the great Powers might direct the at
tention of the American Government tc
the Spanish note of April 10, and
might declare thai Intervention did moi
appear to them 10 be justified
Such a document would have .
greater impression, and the representa-.
tives of the Powers here would not then
incur the risk of appearing only to re-
peat their first step, which the Presi
dent in his last message has not even
deigned to mention.
Tn the event of an identical note be
ing decided upon, it would be advisabl,
to publish it Immediately, in order thai
the civilized world, to whose authority
the appeal is made, may be absolve6
from reproach i'll approving of this at
tack"
DR.. Won Holleben adds.
Personally, | regard this demon
stration somewhat coldly.'
And to this the Emperor appended
the following marginal note;
Il regard it as completely futile anc
purposeless, and therefore prejudicial
| am against this step"
DR.. Won Holleben also subsequently
forwarded the text of the collective tele-
gram, as originally submitted by the
British to the other representatives for
communication to their governments
The text of this document is given ir
full
1t says among other things: "The
memorandum of the Spanish Minister
delivered on Sunday appears to me and
my colleagues to remove all legitimate
cause for war" A collective expression
from the powers is suggested.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS.

The House Committee on Judiciary
submitted to the House a report upon
the bill providing for the personal pro-
lection of the President, Vice President
Cabinet officers and foreign ambassadors
and ministers, and for the suppression
Of opposition to organized government
4 he report argues in favor OF Fed
eral statute covering the case, and re-
CARDS as a reproach the inability of the
general government to prosecute the as
sassin of the late President Mckinley
The report says in part:
This bill is intended to serve six pur-
poses:
"First-To prevent resistance to and
protect the President and Vice-Presi'
dent of the United States and those by
law in the line of succession to that
high Office
"Second-To protect the ministers
and ambassadors of foreign govern
ments accredited to and within the
United States.
"Thrd--To prevent the open and de.
liberate approval of certain crimes and
also certain unlawful teachings, which
If permitted, are calculated and intend
ed to breed lawlessness and crime
against and culminate in the destruction
OF the government.
"Fourth-To prevent the coming tc
or naturalization in this country OF
those who teach or entertain such per
nicious doctrines.
'Fifth-To prevent conspiracies in
the United States to murder the rulers
Of other civilized nations.
"SXth-To provide adequate and uni
form punishments for these offense'
wherever committed. All are offenses
against government and intended to i'm,
pair or overthrow the government OF

ENGLAND ALLIED
WITH JAPAN
An Anti-Russian Treaty Has Been
Signed by the Two Powers.
INTEGRITY OF CHINA AND KOREA
Each Of the Two Contracting Parties Agrees
to Support the Other 10 Any Controversy
With Any Other Power In Maintaining Its
Rights Ia That Quarter by Force OF Arms
II II Comes to War.

London, (By Cable).-An important
parliamentary paper was issued here
giving the terms of practical alliance
between Great Britain and Japan for
the preservation of China and Korea
The paper covers dispatch sent by
Lord Lansdowne, the Secretary OF State
for Foreign Affairs, January 80, to the
British minister at Toxic, Sir Claude
M. Macdonald, and comprises signed
copy of the agreement.
In explanation the paper says the
agreement may be regarded as an out
come of the events of the past two
years
"We each desire" says Lord Lans'
downe, that the integrity and inde..
pendence of the Chinese Empire should
be preserved and that there should be
no disturbance of the territorial status
quo either in China or the adjoining
regions"
The treaty provides that if eithe,
Great Britain or Japan, in defense o.
their respective interests, should becomt
involved in a war with another power
the other contracting party Will main
tain strict neutrality and use its efforts
to prevent other powers from Joining
in the hostilities against its ally. Ii
also declares that if any other power OF
powers should join in hostilities against
that ally, the other contracting party
will come to its assistance and will con
duct war in common and make peace II
mutual agreement with it.
The contracting parties agree tha'
neither of them will, without consulting
the other, enter into separate arrange
ments with another power to the .preJu
dice of the interests above described
Whenever, either in the opinion of Greal
Britain or Japan, the aforementioned
interests are jeopardized, the two gov
ernments will communicate with one
another fully and frankly. The treaty
is to remain in force for five years anc
be binding for a year after either party
denounces it. The agreement is signed
by Lord Lansdowne and Baron Haya
shi, the Japanese minister to Great Brit
ain.
These ministers so we'll kept the Sc
cret that the paper, issued after Parlia'
ment had adjourned for the night, an
nouncing the first important alliance be-
tween a Western and a yellow, OF
Asian, race, comes as startling sur.
prise to the public. and, although the
idea of an alliance with Japan is likely
to meet with general approval the out
come of this sensational departure will
be anticipated with no little anxiety
The Daily Chronicle thinks the treaty
makes an epoch in world history, and
that it will profoundly affect British
policy.

Washington (Special) The estab-
lishment of an infantry station near the
city is one of the important recon-
mendations of the board of high rank
ing army officers who submitted their
report to the Secretary of War upon
the question of abandoning old army
posts and the establishment of new
ones.
The board recommends that a H.
company post, with headquarters and
band be located north of the Potomac
at some point near Washington, and
that the old Washington Barricks, for
merly an artillery station, be used as an
engineer school in the future. Fort
Myer across the Potomac near Airing
ton, is to be continued as a cavalry post
and in addition will have a signal corps
detachment located there. The national
capital, with the location of the infantry
post, will have around it detachments
of every arm of the service-artillery
cavalry, infantry, engineers and signal
corps. 1t will be in addition the loca.
ton Of the new Army War College and
the Engineer School of Instruction. The
nearest infantry post now TO Baltimore
and Washington is that at Columbus
Barracks, Ohio.
In the selection of the camp sites for
the maneuvers of the Army and Ma
tional Guard on large scale, the board
recommends that the eastern field be in
the Conewago valley, in Lebanon, Dau.
phin and Lancaster counties, Pennsylva.
MIA, and embracing the Mt Gretna sec.
tion, and that the southern field be To-
Gated at Chickamauga Park. The
Others will be at Fort Riley and near
Monterey, Cal. Before selecting Penn.
sylvania for the eastern camp the board
had also considered a site in Garrett
county, Maryland.
