HAS LOTS OF FUN
WITH BACHELORS.

Far from the Maddening Girls"
which was just completed by Mr.. Car
ryl before his death, has been brought
out by McClure-P Phillips. 1t is said
to be quite as amusing as anything
that the gifted young writer produc-
ed. In it he has a lot of fun with
bachelors, and in a good natured way
banters all hat crew of young men
who self-suficiently have decided that
.hachelorhood is good enough for them.
1t is full Of all that verbal witness
and c~leverness in turning a phrase
that makes all Mr.. Carryl's work so
entertaining The story tells of a
young bachelor who builds himself a
house in %seclusion, and sets up house
keeping, and Of a young lady with
c~leverness rather than beauty who
makes herself charming enuogh to
upset his %bacheloric plans. There are
illustrations by Peter Newell.
A book Of verse. by Carryl, includ-
ing one long poem. under the title of
The Garden Of Years is shortly to
be brought out.

Toxic, Dec. 15.-lt is ascertained

torpedo attack on the SevastOpOl was
made, in the face Of almost insur-
mountable obstacles. The entire crews
Of the torpedo ~destroyers and torpedo

acutely from the cold.
The Russians took the most extreme
precautions to protect the Sevastopol.

FRENCH VIEW OF
N. LE COLONEL BRYAN.

Not long ago there appeared in a
paper published in the south OF France
an amusing account of the life and ex-
PLOTS Of Col. Bryan hat no doubt this
gentleman fully enjoyed, says the
American Philippine Review.
The story was written by the Paris
correspondent of a country paper. 1t
is based, SO the writer says, on infor-
nation he got from friends of Mr..
Bryan who Are prominent in Paris.
A western wag filed the Frenchman
with startling information, and how he
must have smiled when there appear
ed the following in cold print:
IN lie Col. Bryan first came into
fame as one Of the strange, half-sav-
age band of cowboys who roamed ver
the far west, fighting the Indians and
wild beasts. Initiating. perhaps, the
custom Of the Indian chiefs, each of
the cowboys bore a nickname based on
some of his exploits as a hunter and
fighter. Thus NJ. lie Col. Bryan's title
among the rough but brave and sturdy
comrades was Silver Bill the Dead
Shot. After the treaty of peace was
signed with the Indians at Chicago in
1896. Col. Bryan went out of the cat
the business and become ont of the
bonanza farmers of the west. He can
r0uy CIT m bic honl SfNnn DC tho raar
veranda is called in America, and look
over his fields of corn stretching
further than the eye IAN reach in every
direction. AS a result of his early
training on the plains, where he spent
months at a time without an oppor-
tunity Of talking to another human be
ing, the former candidate for president
is extremely taciturn, and can hardly
be persuaded to express his opinion on
the issues of a campaign. He is the
author of a book Of adventure called
The First Battle in which some of
his encounters with the Indians Of the
Tammany and other tribes are describ-
ed at length.
I'm the effort to partially n%eutralize
the strength of NJ. le Colonel among
the cowboys and Indians who make up
the largest part Of the voting popula-
ton west Of the Allegheny mountains.
the republicans have M. lie Roosevelt
for president. NJ. lie Roosevelt Is one
of the leading cowboys OF America,
and is especially famous for once hav-
ing vanquishing a grizzly bear in sin
gle combat. During the last campaign
M. le Col. Roosevelt has ridden a series
OF horses all over the country. giving
Exhibitions OF rough riding such as
were seen in Paris a year g under
the direction Of another American
statesman"

MAY GO TO LAW
OVER TAX ON SHEEP.
w. L. Hamilton Of Douglas, who is
taxed in this county on some real es-
tate owned by him in the northern
part of the county and On ONE sheep
ranged in this county last summer,
called upon County Treasurer Hicks
this morning, in an effort to settle the
matter. He declared his willingness
to pay the taxes assessed against his
land, but declined to pay the taxes on
the band of sheep. and litigation Is al

Mr.. Hamilton that he would proceed to
advertise and sell the real estate for
the taxes due, and would not permit
a separation of the land tax and the
sheep tax. He would give the Con-
verse county man his personal receipt
for any amount of money he desired to
deposit, but would hold the land for
the taxes. Mr.. Hamilton returned with
his attorney, N. E. Corthell, but q com

ANOTHER CHURCH
DAMAGED BY FIRE

was Don emptied of its contents.
There was no loss from fire in this
building and little from water. The
parsonage, standing in the same yard,
and at present occupied as a tenement
by two families, suffered no damage.
There is $1,000 insurance on this
building and none from water. The
matter of insuring the church building
a discussed at the last meeting of
the board Of trustees, two weeks ago,
but the matter was deferred for the
present.
The damage to the church Is partic-
ularly unfortunate at this time. The
congregation has long had it in mind
to build a modern church, In a more
central location, and a few years ago
there was a movement to secure the
lot where the new Methodist church
now stands and erect thereon a mod
ern church edifice. but the movement
did not succeed.
Friends of the church hope that the
trustees will see their way clear to
take action in the near future look.
ing toward the construction of a new
building in some desirable locality.
The Presbyterian church was erect.
ed in 1870 at a cost Of more than
$4,000, Rev. F. L. Arnold, the venerable
father nj Hon n d Arnold nj fhto
city, being the pastor at the time. The
congregation is older than the church,
and formerly worshiped in the school
house standing where Roots opera
house is now located. The church was
a very pretty structure for those days.
The lot was given to the congregation
by the railroad company and com
prises the quarter block at the corner
of Third and Fremont streets.
Rev. A.. c. Hogbin has been the
pastor for about three years. coming
here from Kansas and assuming the
pastorate at the retirement Of Rev.
Rominger, who went east. He has
worked for the upbuilding Of the con-
gregation and has been ably assisted
by the members and officers of the
congregation. Only recently the La
dies Aid society added q splendid new
organ for the use Of the Sunday school
and preaching service. The building
heated by a hot air furnace In the
basement, nicely carpeted and COM
fortably seated. Some Of the Oldest
citizens of the city are members Of
the church, among them being Mr.. and
Gates, Mr. and Mrs. Arnold and others.
1t was the church for a large number
of years for the lameted DR.. Hayford,
who sat Sunday after Sunday in the
same pew and took an active part for
years in its management.
The congregation has the sympathy
Of the people of the city and southern
part of the state, and the wish Is gen
eral that it may not long be without
a permanent place Of worship.
