seems remarkable that those seeking
160-acre farms on the public domain,
passed on to alkali deserts. staked
plains and blizzardswept prairies,
stunning a more attractive and desira-
BILE land and leaving a great part of 1t
to become a State of the union only
after the lapse of many years.
But the best is often reserved for
the last Missouri, Arkansas and In
dian Territory have lost much by this
delay and neglect but nothing which
may not yet be regained. Their undo
veloped portions need not now depend
upon the slow progress of the prairie
schooner, the OK team. the ak and the
hoe. Their settlement is being made
through the Pullman car and lightning
express and their development is GO
ing on with the speedy agencies of
steam and electricity.
Within a few years the yields of
metal and minerals in these three com
monwealths will surpass in value that
of the gold and silver of some of the
famed mining States, while they will
be supplying fruit and lumber second
to none and cereal equal as to guam
tity and quality to any in the United
States. A grain merchant just return

BUGS RAISE LAND VALUES.
An English Farmer Realizes $4,000
Year From Insects

Year From Insects.
All entomologists know. says London
Tid-Bits. that rare butterflies or moths
recur again and again in due season in
one small farm of very few acres,
and yet will not be found in any other
spot in England for 100 miles round
though a vast fortune were offered for
a single specimen. To such a favored
spot ardent entomologists will flock
and pay a fee to be allowed to hunt for
the insect itself or for its caterpillar or
chrysalis. In one case a Lincolnshire
farmer has realized a small fortune
upon a dismal swamp meadow sur
rounded by bikes and small willow
trees, for in this field specimens of tho
gorgeous "Camberwel beauty" butter
fly have been found when they have
been almost wholly non-existent else
where.
Only lately some acres OF sedge were
burned In the district known as Wick
ham Fen. and every entomologist in
the land Is mourning the fact, for in
this locality insect specimens have been
found that were thought to have died
out in England. There is one small
plantation at the edge of consider
able forest that, solely through the in
sects found there. brings in to the own
err an average of $4,000 a year The
actual value of the land is only a very
few pounds.

Our Daily Short Story

he did the brusque refusal he expected
from her parent.
The next day the Nereid weighed an
Choir and set sail for Boston, and there
was little balm to the heart of Jen-
nings. Not only was Miss Ann unap-
proachable, but Mr.. Gride, the chief
mate, paid her some very direct atten-
tions. which attentions the young lady
received smilingly and with apparent
favor.
"Grib:s father is a shipowner."
groaned Jennings, hell be master of
a ship when he gets home and that
catches her."
The heartsore and pessimistic Jen-
nings felt that all the world, as con-
tained on the Nereid, was against him.
He detected dislike in the captains
manner, contempt in Gride's way of
looking at him and utter disregard
famed from Miss AIMS turquoise eyes.
Added to his troubles his preoccupation
of mind caused him to make one or
two plumbers of the captains orders
which brought down a hurricane of
wrath upon his head from that high
dignitary.
It's simply all up with me-" admit
ted Jennings to himself.
Barring a brush with the fag-end of
a cyclone off the Bermudas, the voy-
age was uneventful until the brig was
in the latitude of Hatteras, when the
monotony was broken by sighting a
derelict, one of those Wandering Jews
of the ocean, drifting slowly at beck
of wind and current. AS the craft was
evidently abandoned and was lumber
laden, the captain did not board her.
There was not a breath of wind, the
sails laying listlessly in wrinkles.
Captain Somers and Gride had gone
below for a nap and Jennings had the
deck. He was leaning against the
rail idly watching the derelict when
a voice that made his blood tingle ad-
dressed him.
Il should dearly love to go aboard
that vessel" said Miss Ann.
Il don't believe you could get on
her." answered Jennings, II expect her
deck is awash.'
Still, 1 should love to be close to
her She reminds me of a ghost"
Jennings warily glanced around.
Both officers were below and the crew
on the deck were spinning yarns. What
a chance for a short moment of bliss

A peal of silvery laughter rang out
on the Nereid and went down wind to
the wharf where a brawny negro, eat

A DAYS OMINOUS CALM
There Has Been Preliminary and
 Some Fierce Fighting During the
 Last Week-A Desperate Assault Upon Port Arthur Now In Progress.

St. Petersburg. Oct. 3O.-The military situation has not yet developed any thing of great importance though the fight at a Buddhist temple on a hill on Oct. 27, appears to have been a de- cIdedly heavy engag cement. It probably indicates that final moves on both sides are now occurring preparatory to another long and serious battle.
 Viceroy Alexieff is now on the way to St. Petersburg. The nature of his reception is food for much sPecula- tion Some of his friends still cling to the idea he will be made chancel- Tor of the empire, with his residence in the winter palace, where, it is said, a suite of apartments has already been prepared for him. On the other hand many declare that his politi-al career is practically over and that his reception in S. Petersburg. While officially cordial. will mark the end of his political ascendancy. It is rumOred that the vice royalty of the Caucasus will be revived for his special benefit which would constitute a compliment tary and comfortable sort of exile

THE BLUE RIDGE BURNING
A Most Destructive COnnagratiOn- Is
 Sweeping the Mountains.

Belvidere. N- J.. Oct. 30.-Forest fires have been raging since Wednes- day in the timber of the Blue Ridge mountains. and in four days have spread over 2O,0OO acres Of timber and brush land and along tract twenty miles long, eastward from Wind Gap, Pa. Tonight there is no cessation of the onrush of the fire. Immense clouds of smoke and cinders are being waited for miles down the wind. Scores of farmers and sqUatters have been forced to flee with their movable pos sessions. and the fire is extending to- ward them.
 The timber is as dry as tinder. and the fire once started in the pines and dense covering of leaves, has shot along with wonderful rapidity in spite O1 the efforts of residents of the To- cality and the state fire wardens, who began the fight when the fire started. The wind is driving the flames east ward, but so dry is the undergrowth that Q dense column of f1me has worked its way several miles to wind ward, smolderiug through the long, dry grass and leaves.
 One force of fire wardens is at work stamping out the fire To the west. It is feared that if they do not finish their work before there IS a change in the wind. which is looked for at any mo- ment fire as disastrous as the~one to the east will extend westward. Thousands of cartridges, rabbits. squirrels and other small game are fleeing before the rush of fire east ward. Wardens who have penetrated to the interior of the burned district say that the slaughter of wild crea- lures has been large Every pool and stream. all of which were closely sur rounded by brush. contains hundreds of dead animals, many Of them burned to a char.

TFRCI0'S ENTOMBED DEAD
NO Bodies Yet Recovered Frem the
 Wrecked Mine.

Trinidad. Col, oct. S5.-Contrary to all reports, no bodies have yet been taken out Of the mine at TeTcio. where an explosion entombed forty-nine miners on Friday, according to the statement Of the coroner, who returned from TerciO tonight. Three bodies, supposed to have been recovered last night, and so reported at the coToner's office here. are still in the mine
 A miner who was lowered down an airshaft saw and identified the bodies. and a report was sent to the coroner's office immediately that the bodies had been recovered. The indications at that time were that the bodies would be taken out within an hour. and while the relief workers were preparing to rescue them another slide of rock oc- cured, making the progress of the res cUers more slow and dangerous than ever. So great was the explosion that huge bOulders block the progress of the rescuers and makes blasting neces- sary. the result causing further rock slides. The condition of the mine has made the reports conflicting.
