r N. Currie or For Ohio.

f. NJ. Currie left on the belated |
train Tuesday evening for Ohio |
to close up the deal for the Adams
Ranch south east Of the city.
The deal includes $3.50 acres of
land and all the personal property
Of he ranch. Besides the farm
machinery horses and hogs, there
are 500 head Of cattle. The deal
was negotiated a month ago or
more by Willis Caldwell, who for
some time has been the business
manager. The members of the
Kinsman cattle company, most of
whom reside in Ohio, are the
pri dcipal ones interested in the
daal, Mr.. Currie has secured a
C ,mplete abstract of the ranch
property which will enable him to
organize company while gone
to consumate the deal, and as no
money except the forfeit money
has yet been paid, Mr.. Caldwell
is still in charge. Mr.. Currie
expects to be back in a week and
take up the contract which pro-
vides for the paymentof $4,000.
This when completed will be one
Of the lergest ranch deals made in
a number of years in the county.
Some ten years ago the MEM
bers of the Kinsman Cattle Co.
commence doing business in this
county through Mr.. Currie. They
started in by investing S10,-
600, The company now owns
ranch near Somerford, where
they now have 1900 acres of land
and about 500 head of cattle.
This last investment will in.
crease their holdings IN this
county to quarter of million
dollars. AS they have realized
twenty five per cent annually or
their investments in the count J
it is not surprising that they con-
tinue to increase their investment

:; expects to locate in Broken Bow
when his wife returns from Cali
fornia as by being here he will
be more conveniently located t.
the two ranches of which he will
have charge.

Total unappropriated l,274,57o
We learn from Mr.. Whitehead,
Register of the Broken Bow land
Office that 979, 361 acres have been
entered in the district since the
Kinkaid act went into effect July
1904, and that of this amount
$4,000 acres were entered last
month. In addition to this we
find that there we're $3.50 acres
of government land yet in Custer
county in the North Platte dis
trict, the first of last July. But
as there were 49, 200 acres in Gus
ter county in the Broken Bow
district on the first of July, and
only 13, $50 acres now, it is rea-
sonable to suppose that large
percent of that in the North
Platte district has been taken by
this time.

EvRugellstic Meetings.

An evangelistic campaign is
planned by the Presbyterian
church to begin on Wednesday,
Jan. 4th, at 7 30 p. m. The gos-
pei will be preached by Mr.. l..
p, Rowland, for fifteen years Sec
rotary of the Boston Y. M. c. A.
and for five years secretary of the
Y. NJ. c. A. in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Rowland has conducted many
successful evangelistic campaigns
He is a sensible leader and as a
worker for and with men has few
equals, To a man who is in
darkness without hope and with
out God it seems to us no higher
boon could come than a fine faith
in Jesus and eternal life, and if
you want such hope if you will
strive for it, and attend regularly
these meetings, Mr.. Rowland car
help you as few men in the world.
The Presbyterian church is highly
pleased in being able to secure
the services of man like Mr.
Rowland and we feel that only
the neglect of the people car
prevent the church and commun
ity from receiving a great bless
ing. The church extends most
urgent invitation to share in this
work and blessing.

Thursday, December %, 1904.

The uprising among the COM
mon people of Russia in behalf of
a popular government seems to
have a salutary effect on Emperor
Nicholas. He has issued mani
festo on the subject of reforms
which is said to contain the four
following points demanded by the
people. First, each zemstvo will
send to the council of state three
representatives to advise on the
question of internal affairs;second,
that the press censorship shall be
abolished and the press made free;
third, that freedom of conscience
shall be allowed, and fourth, that
elementary education shall be
made compulsory throughout the
empire. The Daily Mails st.
Petersburg correspondent says
that the manifesto probably will
be issued December 20.

The frauds perpetuated IN
Denver by the democrats in the
recent election is likely to prove
quite an expensive experiment to
the democrats of the state. Not
only has the supreme court
thrown out the precincts in Den
yer, where fraudulent voting was
proven, and fined and imprison-
ed the members of the election
boards that perpetuated the
fraud, but as a result the legis-
fature is now about thirty ma
jority republican. The chances
are that Gov. Peabody, who was
beaten by the democratic candi-
date by plurality of 10000 or
1000 votes, will be counted in
before the canvassing board of
the Legislature is through. In
fact, it now looks as the demo
Gratis will loose all that they
might have had were it not for
their attempt to win by fraud.

AND THE RAILROADS.
Wooden Tie Plates are Successfully
Being Used Under Advice from
the Bureau Of Forestry.

Upon the advice of the Bureau
Of Forestry the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe Railroad eight
months ago began to experiment
with wooden tie plates. These
plates are intended to protect the
tie from wear under the rail.
They are cut the width of the
bottom|o f the rail and as long as
the tie is wide-usually or Z
inches-and are kept in place by
the weight of the rail, in a fat
groove in the tie. The results
of the experiment are of much
interest both to the railroads of
the country and to those who
have at heart the cause of forest
protection.
The Santa Fee placed cypress
tie-plates one-quarter of an inch
thick on several thousand old and
much-worn cypress ties laid in it's
track north of Galveston, Tex.
After eight months of constant
use the plates are perfectly sound
and show practically not trace
of wear. The officials of the road
are greatly pleased with the re-
suit of this trial.
The Bureau of Forestry will
now make similar experiments
with red gum, red oak and beech
templates, which will be placed
in the tracks of the st. Louis and
San Francisco, the Burlington,
and the Northern Pacific system
These are all harder woods than
cypress, and are therefore less
liable to wear under the rails, but
are much more subject to decay.
The tie-plates made from these
woods will therefore all be heavily
creosoted. This will make them
about as resistant to decay as the
untreated cypress, while their
much greaterh hardness will better
qualify them to resist the wear
of the rails.
For number of years cross
ties have been treated with pre-.
servatives, and templates of iron
have been used to increase their
length of service. Tests are
constantly being made by the
Bureau of Forestry to improve
the character of the preservatieS
and the methods of their appli'
cation, and to enlarge the number
of woods used for railroad con
struction purposes. Experiment
ing with wooden templates il
work along the same economical
line, in the interest of both tn,
railroads and the forests. TIN,
use OF tie-plate prevents wea
on the tie and adds years to it
service; wooden tie-plates arr
being successfully substituted
for the more expensive iron; anc
abundant and cheaper woods
through preservative treatment
are becoming available to tax,
the place of scarce aud expensiv,
woods. When wooden tie-plat,
is worn out a new one can b,
quickly and cheaply inserted il
its place. In Europe these plate
cost but 50 a thousand, or 81 70
every 500 ties, since two are use'
upon each tie. Preservativ
treatment keeps the tie from de
caying, the wooden tie-plate keep
it from wearing, and the use o
both will result in huge econ
omy for the railroads, which will
react favorable upon our forests
The whole subject of cross.ti
economy was fully discussed b

PORT ARTHUR IS
BEING SHELLED
Japanese Forces Are Bonn
harding Arsenal and Ship
ping in the Harbor
GREAT DAMAGE WILL RESULT

Washington, Dec. 15.--The Japanese
legation has received the following ca
ulegram from Toxic:
Commander OF naval artillery re-
ports that bombardment on the 18th
was principally aimed at arsenal and
torpedo depot at Tiger Tail and at
steamboats, in its vicinity. Torpedo de-
pot ablaze one hour. Three ships we're
destroyed and one sunk, besides build
ings greatly damaged. Indirect bonn
bardment upon Sevastopol, staying
outside harbor, was suspended owing
to bad weather, which prevented OBJ
servation. Togo reports torpedo boat
notilla attacked twice Sevastopol on
the night OF the 18th and thrice on
the night of the 18th. The result is
uncertain. Each time they met en-
emys fierce fire and one Of our tor
pedo boats was disabled, but towed
back, while three received one shot
each. Our total casualties only three
men wounded"
The Sevastopol was the only battle
ship at Port Arthur TO escape damage
by the Japanese bombardment from
2OS-Metre Hill. Ofncial Japanese ad-
vices said tht she appeared TO be lying
in the east harbor that only the tops
of her masts were visible to the Japa-
nese gunners, and that her hull was
completely hidden by a hill.
An unofficial report circulated at To-
lSio said that on December 9 Japanese
torpedo boat destroyers had attacked
the Sevastopol at the mouth of the
harbor but that the result Of the at
tack was unknown,
A dispatch from Toxic, December
II, conveying an official report, said
that the sevastopol continued at an
Choir outside of the harbor. possibly
returning at night. Her anchorage, ac-
cording to the dispatch. was at that
time inside the outer boom, which pro-
tected her against torpedo attacks.
In this connection il may be inter-
esting TO recall the fact that accord
ing 20 the same dispatch. the where
abouts OF the Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyers continued to be doubtful, and
that it was thought they had taken
shelter outside.
