How Yocum happened to fall into
the slag-mixing pit is a mystery, as he

through the department of state. that
the federal court of Venezuela has

SO far as can be ascertained here. no

DISGRACEFUL ACT
OF AN OFFICER

Night Officer Halligan, the
night he lett for Fargo last week
did a most disgraceful thing
near the 500 depot and that
should warrant the mayor dis
missing him from the force.
A young fellow who is learning
telegraphy at the 500, started
out lantern in hand across the
tracks to deliver a message. He
was told to halt by the burly
officer AMI did SO. He considered
the affair as ~ joke and made
some light remark about it.
Halligan struck the lad in the
face twice knocking him down
and threatened to beat him with
the club which he held in his
hands. Two bystanders saw
the disgraceful affair, but did not
interfere.

1000 bushels of wheat and 1000
bushels OF oats and speltz. We
had 35 bushels of durum wheat

CLIMATE IN MANCHURLA.
1t Plays a Prominent Part in the
Fortunes of War.

The climate of Manchuria plays an
| important role in the war between
Russia and Japan. Up to the present
we have had but little precise informa.
tion upon this point. NJ. j. Ross has
lately given the Scientific American in
| dications as to the climate of that re-
| gion and the character of the different
seasons. He states that in the months
of March and April there are strong
southwest winds which bring with
them heat and moisture. At the end
of March the winter season ends. The
undersoil is still frozen at this time,
but the ground can be worked for agri-
culture. April appears to be the only
month of spring. At the end of this
month the sowing of wheat commences.
Summer begins in May and at the end
of June or the beginning of July the
wheat is cut. Up to the end of June
rain is rare and the sky is generally
clear, while cloudy weather is an eX-
ception. The heat reaches n maximum
at the end of July and first part of
August. Afterward come heavy rains
or storms. 1t often rains for several
days and nights without stopping. The
soil is completely saturated and inun-
dations are frequent.
September is the harvest month,
while October gives some of the finest
weather of the year. At this time the
climate is agreeable during the day and
the sky is clear, with bracing air, while
vegetation is at its height. At the end
of the month the first night frOsts be-
gin to appear, and in November tie
cold weather commences and keeps up
until March. At Mullden the temper
ature sometimes reaches q very low de-
gree. During the day, however, the
cold is not excessive, and sometimes in
the middle of the winter the suns rays
become very warm, on account of the
southerly position of that locality. The
maximum temperature of summer is
1904 deg. +. About ten months of the
year are dry for the most part, and the
excessive wet season only occurs dur
ing a month or so. At Niuchwang, on
the north shore of the gulf of Lao
tung. the mean winter temperature is
16 deg. F., and the mean 70: the sum-
mer, 74.S deg. The mean annual tenn
perature is Al. deg. +. The Russian
maritime provinces have Il very low
mean annual temperature. At Vladiv-
ostock the average for the winter is
1912 deg. f., and for the summer it is
only 1913 deg. +.

Goth Century Empire Building.

Great as is the power of war In the
building of an empire-and the Jap
anese- Russian war will probably make
great nation of Japan-there is an
even greater force at work in the
world that will in the end decide the
fates of peoples. This is the power of
one nation to absorb the individuals
rather than to wipe out or swallow
another government. The Twentieth
Century will probably witness the
greatest Capitalization of peoples
under vast empires, that the world
has seen since the days Of
Roman greatness. When the cen
tury ends, the outlook is that there
will be a half dozen first nations,
created by assimilation instead of war.
Japan will be one, with its intluenc'
felt throughout Eastern Asia, Russia
will. of course, advance. Germany will
probably have absorbed Austria. The
Latin races of Southern Europe may
have combined for self-protection.
England will go on empire building,
and the United States will have
spread over the continent and maybe
two continents, besides having alb
sorbed vast numbers of peoples from
all countries Of the earth.

THE RIGHTS OF NAN.
They Should Include 4 Opportunity
to Make a Home on a Piece of Land.

The right to work, to employ ones
self, comes from Nature, and not from
legislative action. If that is true,
says the Detroit News Tribune, it fol-
lows that legislatures have no right
to make regulations which will permit
the cornering of opportunities for self
employment. The United States laws
governing our national domain of land
were originally designed to conform to
the rights of man. Our homestead
acts were designed to place the land in
the hands of those who would actually
use it productivity, and much of the
land was so parcelled out to the
great advantage of society. But cum
ming lawyers and INSCRIPTIONS men
who want to reap where they have not
sown, who seek to avoid productive la
Dor themselves by controlling the op-
portunities of self-employment, have
succeeded in cOrnering large Sec
tions of the United States. The
revelations of the land frauds in
the West are worthy Of great at
tention, but they excite less inter-
est than do our troubles with
President Castro of Venezuela. The
astonishing fact is learned that one
man has acquired nearly $1,000 square
miles of public land. He does not want
to use it himself, and lis only object is
to make others pay him for the privi-
lege of using it. He therefore makes
it more difficult for men to employ
themselves, and the rights of man are
to that extent denied.

they may enjoy religious liberty.
On September 30 is the Jewish New
Year, this year Number 5GG6, one of
the most sacred holidays to the Jew,
when all petty quarrels are forgotten,
and every man is ut peace with his

The Jewish New Year is observed
in accordance with the injunction:
And in the seventh month on the
first day of the month shall ye have
Il holy cOnvOcation; no servile work
shall We do; IA day of blowing the cor

ganization was never so strong anG
carefully nurtured as ut present; party
discipline was never so rigid; party
leadership was never so placidly recog-
nized and implicitly obeyed by party
workers. The change has come about
in comparatively recent years. In
fact, the present generation of voters
have witnessed its coming. Samuel j.
Tilden showed the way. AS a result of
his teaching, not party principle, but
party organization, won for the Demo-
cratic party sweeping victories in Re
publican strOnghOlds and was started
fairly on the road to a long lease of
national control. Then appeared the
late Marcus a. Hanna from his business
cloister and gave impulse within his
party to movement similar to that
which, under the tutelage of Tilden,
had brought surprising victories to the
Democrats.
The spirit of organization which now
animates both of the great parties is
not indolent or lukewarm between
campaigns. In an important sense, it
is as active now as it was when the
lines of battle were drawn after the
national conventions of last summer
had done their work. The difference
between them is made conspicuous by
reason of the fact that the Republican
party Is in power and its central or
ganization-the National Committee
is necessarily more in evidence than its
counterpart in the opposition organiza-
The Breckenridge news., 1905-10-04

tion-the Democratic National Commit
tee. These central bodies of the two
great parties have lines of subsidiary
organizations reaching down through
the States, cities, Congressional dis
tricts and counties to the voting pre-
cincts.
Between campaigns, the National
Committees are neither idle nor un-
watchful. The permanent headquarters
of the Republican National Committee
are in Washington, and are under the
immediate supervision of Elmer Dover,
the committees secretary, and former
ly Senator Hanna's private and conf
Dental secretary. The committees
headquarters occupy rooms in one of
the finest Office buildings in the Ma
tional Capital. The Hon. George B.
Cortelyou, who vacated seat at Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Cabinet board to sue
ceed Mr.. Hanna as chairman of the
National Committee in order that, at
