great continental centers west Of st.
Petersburg. The d~iscomforts Of
ocean travel have been reduced to a
minimum and It's actual dangers to al.
most nothing. How many people in
the course Of a year would care to
waste two weeks or more in tedious
overland travel between America and
Europe when they can utilize the
ocean route at a much less expendi-
ture of time and money? There is a
limit in railroad construction. and it
would seem that Prince Hilkhon was
"%jollying" M. De Windt when he inti-
mated that the Russian government
would back a two-coptinent line as
soon as the explorer demonstrated its
feasibility. No doubt Alaska will
some day have a railroad system Of
its own connecting with that of the
great Canadian trunk line to the
south, but It will be built with an eye
to territorial trade, and not with any
idea OF establishing tunnel relations
with lines in Asia.

Chinese is an Geographic language.
It conveys the idea and not the word

the idea and not the word. The Chi.

marks for their writing, but It re-.

camille correspondence. and It Is said
TO be easier to learn them than the
words of an ordinary foreign Ian
guage. Russian is more dimcult for
Americans than Chinese. It takes
much longer to learn the spoken Ian.

AND DlcTIoN CONTEST
undergraduates at Creighton College
Preparing to Go After
New HOnors.

undergraduates at Creighton college are
preparing to enter the nnu competition
between the Jesuit colleges of the province
Of Missouri, which is held to determine
the question Of superiority in matters OF
logic and diction.
This competition is based upon essays
sent from each of six colleges-Creighton
college at Omaha, st. Louis, university at
st. Louis. ST. Mary's college at st. Mary's,
Kan, Marquette college at Milwaukee. and
Detroit college at Detroit. A prize IF $75
for the best essay prepared, and a second
prize OF $35 is offered by a resident OF
Chicago. The subject this year is Duties
Of American Catholic Laymen in Regard to
Education" At each OF the colleges in the
province every undergraduate who desires
may prepare a paper, which must be written
In the presence OF one member Of the fac
ulty, not more than Ave hours to be spent
in its preparation. The essay must not
contain more thah 5000 words. All papers
are then submitted to a member Of the
faculty Of the college, who selects the
three most suitable, and they are sent to
st. Louis, where they are finally passed
upon by a committee.
During the last four years Creighton col
lego has carried OF the prize. In 1898. the
| successful competitor was Patrick Me,
Kenna: in 1899. It was John Smith; IN 1900.
David Murphy. and In 1901. John Benewitz.
At Creighton college this week Father
| Koppens will lecture upon the subject to
the undergraduates. preparatory to the

WOODWARD TRIES SUICIDE
Friends Outside OF Jail Also Seek to
Aid Him with Plans for
Escape.

CASPER, Wyo., Feb. 9.-(Special.S
Charles woodward. charged with the MUIR
der of Sheriff Kicker, has made several
attempts at suicide and only the watch
fulness Of his ~jailers has prevented him
from taking his own life.
When Woodward was captured at the
Owens ranch near Billings, he begged pite-
ously for a chance to run, saying, my body
is worth just as much to- you men dead as
alive: let me loose and i will run. Shoot
me down and send my carcass to Casper,
but don't take me to that place alive"
Last Tuesday he asked for a razor that
he might shave himself. and again yester-
day he asked for a sharp knife to cut his
corn. He got shaved and his corn trimmed,
but was handcufed and closely guarded,
for It is believed that Woodward would
not hesitate to attack an officer or attempt
to end his own life.
Fears are entertained hat an effort may
be made at any time by friends OF Wood
ward to liberate him, or by friends Of sher-
in Kicker to lynch the prisoner. Sheriff
Tubbs is on the alert and has discovered
plans that were being carried out by per-
sons outside the Jail. Yesterday a woman
entered the Jail to see the prisoner. She
ran forward with apparent Joy and gave
the prisoner her hand. Sheriff Tubbs no

BLACK HILLS AGRICULTURE
Residents of western Ridge Devote
Increasing Attention to CuItiva-
ton of the Soil.

LEAD. S. D., Feb. S.-(special)-The
western ridge Of the Black Hills range is
developing an extensive agricultural region.
People living there have for a number Of
years been supplying the local market with
small grains and vegetables, and the region
is being farmed more extensively with each
succeeding year. Last year the McCready
brothers, on Cold Spring creek, near the
Wyoming line, raised 5000 bushels OF oats
on forty acres Of land. The greater portion
Of this yield was marketed In Lead and at
the HOmestake pumping station on the
Spearfsh, which is a short distance from
their ranch. and brought on an average
so cents a bushei. There is also a large
amount Of hay raised on the divide, which
is readily disposed OF at Lead at a good
figure. II is impossible to raise corn owing
to the late and early frosts. The region
has an average elevation OF 5000 feet, and
there is frost nearly every month In the
year. For hay, wheat. oats. potatoes and
cabbage the country is unsurpassed. No ir1
rlgation is required. hail Is unknown, and
there ID no such thing as a crop failure.

THE ELKs' DOLLS WENT
Auction OF nsiutiIy Dressed Play
things Brings Handsome Sum
to Lodge Golfers.

Owing to the ~lateness Of the hour when
the returns were received OF the awards
made at the Elks fair. which closed SAT-
urday evening. all OF the prizes we're net
mentioned yesterday morning. The type
writer was voted to Miss Myrtle Chsse. who
was backed in her contest by some Of the
most prominent men in the Elks' lodge, and
the opposition to her was not as strong
as Il appeared to be as a foyegone conciu-
sion that she would win.
The doll auction was closed at II o'clock
Saturday night, and the financial returns
from the same were very satisfactory. The
Cora Beckwith doll brought the highest
price. The bidding was very lively for this
doll between G. B. Liver and Mrs. ]. p.
Shoning, until IL reached $3.50. when Mayor
Tom Parmalee Of Plattsmouth stepped In
and bid 5000. at which price It stood until the
close Of the auction, and = the doll was
awarded to the winner.
The Bfhe Shannon doll was sold to I. w.
Miner and others for $50. c. B. Liver
bought the Ed o. Brandt doll for s45. The
Dollie Mobiles doll went to Charles Metz for
$40. Spud Parrish took away the Blanch
Dayne doll, and the Cherry Sisters now be-
long to Gould Deitz.
The. Board OF Trade diamond ring was
awarded to F. ]. vette.
Many OF the principal articles were not
closed out on Saturday evening. 1t was
impossible in the great rush OF business
at that time to pick out the unsold numbers,
therefore, 1t became necessary to postpone
the award until q later date. Manager
w. J. Burgess Of the Boyd theater, hearing
OF this, volunteered the use Of his theater
for a public distribution Of these Elks' fair
prizes, and IL is probable that II will TAX
place on Friday afternoon next, and 1t will
be In charge Of Ave disinterested men OF
the highest business and professional
standing in this city. 1t is probable that
a large number Of articles will be auctioned
of at the same time. The total attendance
during the nine days OF the fair was 1884,
Of whom 1881 passed through the doors
Saturday afternoon and evening, the clos
ing day and night of the fair.
