FACTS OF PAPER : MAKING!
Maine Mill Turns Out in One Day 4
Strip 144 Feet Wide and
$50 Miles Long.

The new paper-making machines
which make the modern magazine posi-
Bile are wonderful. There is one pape:
mill. for instance at Rumford Falls, In
the woods of Maine, which turns out
every day a strip of paper 144 feet wide
and $50 miles long-long enough to put
a sash around the earth every six
months. declares the Woman's Home
Companion.
There are. all told, 100 paper mills
in the United States, producing $780,
OO0,00 worth of paper a year. They
burn up 100000 tons of coal yearly.
and shred 2.5OOOOO cords of wood into
pulp. About 12,500000 trees are cut
down to feed these paper mills, every
tree being at least nine inches in dame
ter. One months issue of the Woman's
Home Companion requires as many
trees as there are On good-sized farm.
If you tear off tiny corner Of this page.

you will notice the little splinters Of
wood of which all paper is made.

NEGRO CHURCH is STRONG
Colored Organization Formed in At
rica Gets Beyond Control
of Founder.

1t has long been known by those IA
miliar with the negro in America that
he can be appealed to through his emo
tional and religious side more quickly
and surely than in any other way. This
has recently had startling demonstra-
ton in South Africa. where an ALIEN
bracing union Of the natives has been
brought about through the establish
ment of native church. Four years ago
a Wesleyan preacher of Pretoria left his
denomination and began the organiza-
ton of a united oo:ored church under
the name of the Church of Ethiopia. >"
The idea spread swiftly through South
Africa, surmounting tribal barriers
The church soon got beyond the execu-
tive control of its founder and aid was
sought from the African MethoGists of
this country. So firm has the union be-
come that it is said to be assuming po-
litical significance. many of the younger
negroes having raised the cry of Africa
for the Africans" and threatened to
turn the whites out Of the colonies.

OLDEST ARMY TUNE STlRS
"The White Cockade" Played in
April, 1775, Puts Life Into
Feet of Marchers.

1t is the old music, after all, that puts
the life into marching feet, for it carries
the traditions of marching in its melo-
lies. This white Cockade" is his
torical melody to Americans, though
many Americans may not be aware OF
e. the fact, says Boston Transcript 1t
was the tune to which the farmers who
fred the shot heard round the world
marched when they determined to force
he passage of the bridge at Concord.
Possibly it was the only tune which the
drummer and fifer of Capt. Isaac Davis
company knew, but the fact that it was
played is historical. The popularity of
the tune is proof that melody made for
one party is recognized as good by all
# it has the quality of being singable.
THE White Cockade" was originally a
Tacobite tune. but it made a good march
for the descendants of the English Puri-
tans, April 49, 1775, when Capt. Davis
made his musicians strike up. AS they
were the first American. force that ever
advanced to battle as Americans. "The
White Cockade" is the Oldest melody Of

PLOW DRAWN BY 48 BULLS
They Are the Only Animals That Can
Drag the Mammoth Digger
Through Marshes.

Hundreds of people have driven many
miles to witness a novel sight east of
Iowa Falls, Ia, where As sturdy bulls,
hitched to mammoth plow, are plow-
ing bitches through slough land to re-
deem it for crops and grazing. The
crowd has been so great that farmers
in self-defense have been obliged to put
up signs to trespassers on their fields
that they will be prosecuted if they
continue to trample down the crops.
The farmers in East Hardin county have
let a contract to drain off the water
of Bird pond, which by its overflow has
annually ruined large acreage.
Bulls are the only animals that can
wallow through the marshes and pull
after them the big plow that leaves in
its trail a drainage ditch large enough
to carry off the surplus water on hun
dreds of acres.

Magic Circles outlive Superstition.

III.
Magic circles did not go out with the
days of superstition. The holders of a
railway concession in China have drawn
a circle about Canton across which no
foreign railway may pass without their
consent. 1t is simply belt line of rail-
way on the outskirts of the city, with
branches running to the suburbs. The
French and English holders of railway
concessions must make terms with the
Americans before they can lay their
tracks across the belt line In the Unit
ed States the courts usually make short
work of such distractions, but the magic
is likely to work in China for several
years yet. Meantime the French and
English railway men are admiring the
aertness of their competitors from this
country.

NO SHORTAGE FOUND.
Williams oficial Accounts Appear to
Be Straight.

Mr.. Hudnall had checked all OF Viii,
liams' official accounts at moor today.
They were found to be correct, every
cent paid over to him as clerk OF the
court having been accounted for. Az
first it was believed that a discreps
ancy existed in some of the trust
funds, but inquiry at the banks re-
vealed the proper deposits.
In the case of n of these funds
a disagreement exists. This is in the
action Of the Slater Brick company
VS.. A. Motschman. The ledger OF
trust funds shows that December 9,
1902, a deposit Of $25.S6 was made
by w. M. Johnston, attorney for Mot
schman, being in tender Of the sum
Motschman acknowledged he owed the
brick company. The tender was re-
fused and the action was tried to a
conclusion. January ~, 1903, the
record of court proceedings shows that
by instruction from the court the jury
returned a verdict in favor OF the
company for $125.86.
Mr.. Johnston insists that the record
is wrong and that instead of merely
showing a trust deposit of $25.86 it
should show one of the full amount as
carried out on the record OF proceed
ings. The state examiner and deputy
clerk of the court hold that the law
yer is in error, as the full amount OF
the Judgment could not well have been
deposited prior to the rendering of the
Judgment itself. Beside, Mr.. Dunno,
who kept the ledger, insists that the
entry is correct.
Until proper receipts are shown the
examiner and Mr.. Dunno say they
will stand by the records.
This morning a sister of the missing
man arrived in the city and in com
pany with M. L. Hoyt called at the

they were put in possession OF all
the information possessed there con

Bad in Dawson.

Arthur Clifford, one of Cruse's head
men, has been in from western Daw-
son county for the past week and
says that they have had the worst
winter in 20 years across the river,
continues the Argus. The range has
been badly crusted for six weeks and
when he left there. about 10 days ago,
there were no signs of q change in
the conditions. The N-Bar outfit has
q, 900 sheep over there and they are
getting very apprehensive that a large
per cent of them will not be brought
out. That country is simply alive
with sheep from all ove the eastern
part of the state, and many woolgrow-
ers seem in for heavy losses. The
sheep were forced into the brakes
by the storm in January and have
never been able to get out. To give
some idea of the number of sheep in
that country, Clifford said that he
counted 100000 head in an area foul
by six miles. It is not only the wool,
growers who will suffer, as hundreds
of cattle r in a %precarious condi
ton.

The name of Fashoda is to vanish
from the map. This is in consideration
for French susceptibilities. This Is an
official decree, and henceforward Fa-
shoda is Fashoda no more. The prov
ince Of that name becomes the upper
Nile province, the fort and outskirts
become Kodok, and the village, which
had also been known as Fashoda, is
renamed Dabwar. These changes are
to take effect in all future maps off,

Do women live longer than men?
During the past year no fewer than
ffty-six persons have died who were
centenarians. In several cases they
have been considerably over a hundred
years Of age, and it is remarkable that
of these persons thirty-six were wom-

IN FERGUS COUNTY.
Range Conditions There Reported as
About Normal. 9


AS published in the last issue OF
that newspaper, the stock reports
made to the Fergus County Argus
from different parts of that county
would indicate that contrary to ex-
pectations the losses there have not
been very great, but at the time OF
publication all danger had not yet
passed. Many of those who we're
feeling were, getting dangerously
close to the bottom OF their a~aystacks
and admitted that unless the weather
grew warmer soon they might still
have many dead animals before the
new grass appeared.
Parts Of the county appear to have
escaped almost entirely the rigorous
weather of the winter, while others
received more than they believed to
be their share. The most critical con
dition was existant in the northeastern
part of the county. About Gilt Edge
and to the east there has been consid-
cradle snow, and some of the stock
men are said to have run out OF feed.
But even there they are in better
shape than those who have their flocks
across the river in Dawson county.
Chinook and Blizzard Meet.
People living along the Musselshell
near it's mouth have observed a pecu-
liar fact this winter. On one side OF
the river there have been several
feet of snow, while the. fall on the
Fergus county side has not been phe-
nomenal. A few miles this side OF
the river there would be a chinook,
taking the snow of the ground and a
short distance across in Dawson
county a high and intensely cold east
ern wind would be sweeping across the
plains. The Musselshell seemed to
be the meeting place of the chinook
and the eastern wind.
Early Feed Expected.
In other parts. of Fergus county
stock and range conditions are uni
formly good. Latest reports from
Grass Range say that that part OF
the county escaped the storm which
prevailed here Saturday night and
that stock conditions could not be bet
ter at this time of the year. Sheep
have been turned loose into the spring
ranges and on a few ranches lambine
is in progress with excellent results
From Lavina the report is that grass
is showing up fine and as the grounc
is very moist early feed is expected
The winter losses have not been as
great as the average and the spring
outlook was lever better.
In Western Fergus.
In the western part OF the count,
conditions are as good as they eve
were at this time Of the year. Thu
losses have not been any heavier thai

KANSAS SENATOR CONVICTED OF
CHARGE ALLEGED.
he ACCEPTED ILLEGAL FEES
Used His Official Position to Shield
Speculative Concern at St.
Louis.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 28.-A spe-
cial to the Star from st. Louis says:
United States Senator j.. r. Burton
of Kansas, charged with illegally ac-
cepting fees from the Rialto Grain
company, was found guilty by a jury
in the United States district court
at noon today.
At the time word was received by
the court that the jury was agreed and
was ready with a verdict Senator Bur
ton had gone to the Southern hotel.
A marshal was sent to notify him to
report. The senator came into he
court room at 1910 O'Clock. He had
been sent for 4 half hour before, and
the long delay caused a rumor that he
had collapsed.
Verdict Read.
Few people were in the court room
when he entered. He took his seat
by the side of his attorney, Mr.. Leh-
MANN, and looked into the Jurors
E -~0--S
faces as they entered.
Have you reached a verdict in the
case?" asked Judge Adams.

Hand it to the clerk" said the
court.
Judge Adams looked at the verdict
and said:
"You have made no disposition OF
count three"
1--WE have agreed as to that" said
Charles Wall, the foreman.
The judge instructed the jurors tC
retire and include their findings as
to count three in the written verdict
During the Is minutes the jury was
out not a word was spoken in the
court. A funeral silence could no
have been more solemn. Neither w
H. Rossington, Charles B. Smith, Rep
r%esentative Campbell nor the othe
friends of Senator Burton were presen
at the time.
Senator Burton sat immovable, look
ing neither to the right or the left
The jury entered again at 1926.
1--WE, the jury, find the defendan
guilty on counts one, two, six, eigh
and nine in the indictments, and no
guilty on count three"
Faces 1t BraveIy.
There was no %perceptible chang
in the senator's countenance when tn
verdict was read.
Judge Krum asked to have the jur.
polled. Each answered that the vel
dict was his own. Judge Krum forth
with presented a motion for a ney
trial.
The court replied that the bond Q
$4,000 was entirely sufficient.
The court did not pass sentence.
The court having adjourned, Senate
Burton calmly lighted a cigar ant
turning to his attorneys and his pr
yate secretary, Colonel w. w. Smith
began a conversation in a low tone
He appeared completely composed.
If this verdict is sustained, Senate
Burton will lose his seat in the SCI
ate and forever be prohibited fro1
holding any Office of public trust. Fac
count constitutes a single ofense, an
Senator Burton could receive a SCI
tence Of two years or a fine of SIC
900 on each count.
Senator Burton's conviction is tn
first under this section Of the statutes
which was enacted by congress

state ia bound to foster mining, CON-
merce, agriculture, and other things
that tend directly to develop it's

fare is not dependent upon these alone,
we fail to see why the state is not

for any and all appliances which are
necessary for the proper education OF
it's youth. The richest products OF
any state, are its best men and women,
and these are oftentimes found among
the poor and lowly. The state cannot
afford to lose these because private
purses cannot provide means for their
development,-hence one great ad-
vantage of our public schools, high
schools and colleges, which offer edu-
cation to all at the public expense.
To some minds q public education
means the mere preparing OF the tu-
