FOUNDRY P|G IS
 THE MAIN FEATURE
International Harvester Makes
 60,O00 Ton Purchase
RAILROAD BOOM EvlDENT I
Plate, Structural and Bar. Tonnage Orders Make Bright Outlook In Those Lines-Cotton Tie
 Prices Are

Cleveland, O., April 12.-(Special)-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: Foundry pig iron furnishes the most de- finite development of the week in the weakening of prices under the abstention of buyers from the market, and in the purchase by the International Harvester company of 6O,oOO tons of iron for deliv- cry in the second half of the year.
 The greater part of this iron will be shipped from furnaces in the Chicago district, a smaller amount coming from the south.
 Bessemer iron is firmly held at $15.5O at Valley furnace, in view of pending in- quiries from two steel companies apart from the steel corporation, and the ex- pectation that the corporation will re- quire 35000 to 10000 tons of outside Iron in May. New rail orders amount to 75, 900 tons, including 10000 for Reading, 1000 tons for Delaware and Hudson and 5000 tons each for Lehigh Valley, Erie, Atlantic Coast Line and "Soo' road. Both trolley and steam roads are good buyers.
 The plate structural and bar tonnage now on the books that is traceable to railroad buying has given the present prosperity of the mills very much the aspect of railroad boom. The question is whether as the pressure from this quarter subsidies there will be a rein forcement from the numerous minor consumers not now so prosperous. Busi- ness in sight in the east includes 10000 tons of steel for the new East River bridge, 40,000 tons for the Pennsylvania and New York Central Terminal and 1000 tons for the New York Crosstown tunnel. Prices in the finer finished forms are scarcely steady at the prices last fixed officially, this applying to sheets. tin plates, pipe and tubes and wire goods. Some resale material is appearing. Cot ton the prices will probably be fixed in the next ten days. The business has rounded up rather later than usual this year.

No News of Conflict.

St. Petersburg, April 12.-4:3s D. m.)- The admiralty has no information in re gard to the alleged naval battle in prog ress off the Anabas islands reported to a newspaper of Amsterdam from Ba- tavia, and does not credit the possibility of a general naval battle yet. The off cials concede, however that the Japanese may have attempted torpedo boat at tack on a convoy during the night. It is pointed out that there is no cable connecting the Anabas islands and Ba- tavia and that the first news of fight should come from Singapore unless the Dutch warships are able to communicate with Batavia by wireless telegraphy.

Physicians Leave for Scene.

Vicksburg, April 1S. a. m.-A special train bearing a half dozen physicians and surgeons having the right of track, has just left for the scene of the wreck. Off, ficials of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad preserve silence as to the char acter of the wreck and the casualties. They profess to be ignorant of ,ne extent of the loss of life.
 The fact that physicians that were hur- riedly summoned from their beds and directed to report at the depot with all haste prepared for emergency cases Is taken as significant. A staff correspondent of the Herald Is with the special train.

Ov @$sslO CAT IS TRACKED
jtary Loeb and Party at Fort Worth Enjoy Rabbit Hunt and Eat Big Country Bar
 becue.

Dallas, Tex, April 12.-A special from Frederick, Okla, to the News says:
 It has been an ideal day for wolf hunt ing as the weather has been cool, and cloudy sky enabled the horses and dogs to keep up fast gait. The longest chase of the entire hunt was twelve miles, over hill and break and through brush and creek, but ended at last with the capture of the wolf. There were but four Of ths party in sight at the close, the President being one of the quartette. The other three were all young men who were ex- cellent horsemen. J. R. Abernathy. Guy waggoner and Young Burnett. As a di- version a coon hunt was indulged in last night.
 A wild cat was tracked en route, but the dogs left the scent to follow their more common prey-wolves. After con siderable difficulty in the brush the coon was at last caught in Deep Red creek. It was brought to camp, where 1t now represents the only species of its kind in the Presidents private menagerie. Yes terday while in camp a number of foot races were held. The President entered in one of these sprints,
 No Change in Original Plans.
 It now appears that the President will not break his original plans which are to leave here some time tomorrow after noon. In this case he will likely not con- tinue the hunt after noon tomorrow.
 The President Is highly pleased at the. manner in which he has been allowed
  to hunt in private, So far not a single individual who has not had business at the camp has entered the grounds and the hospitable manner in which he has been entertained by Colonel Lyon and others will cause him to remember his Oklahoma hunt as. a. very enjoyable out ing It is expected that the President will keep lis regular schedules and leave tomorrow evening with the party. In this case tomorrow forenoon will be the last of his present sojourn in Oklahoma before his departure for Colorado, where he will hunt for bigger game.

WARNER DISCOVERS SOME MORE ERRORS Finds Improper Men on the
 Pension Rolls SHAW IS IN CON 1R0VERSY Rumors That H. c. Prick Is to Have a Cabinet Portfolio Are Believed
 to Be Unfounded, as He
 Is Ineligible.
SHAW IS IN CONTROVERSY

Washington, April 2.-tSpecial)--ln ad- dltion to his discovery of the errors of the pension examiners who allowed the six veterans" of 'McLanes Penn sylvania regiment" to get on the pension rolls when they did not belong there, Commissioner of Pensions Warner, 1t Is understood, found certain of his subor- dinates guilty of an even greater offense, in the improper application of pension order No. IS. the famous age pension rule promulgated under the authority of President Roosevelt more than year ago.
 This order was to have taken effect April 13, 1904, and by express terms was not to be retroactive. Since coming into office Commissioner Warner has found that in several cases the order was put into effect before April 13, 1904, and this action. without authority, Is now under investigation. The pension bureau will undoubtedly furnish broad field for the commissioners desire to correct abuses.
 Shaw Is In Controversy.
 Secretary Shaw and Senator Hans eDfOuBD Ol INOIlH DdhOids hir quite controversy over the action of the secretary in granting drawback on Canadian wheat which enters into the composition of nour for export. Hans brough asserts that the secretary's action Is already having a harmful effect upon the agricultural interests of the north west. The price of American hard wheat has been reduced several cents a bushel. he claims, by reason of the fact that Canadian wheat for use in exported flour is allowed to come in practically duty free and the only business interest that has been benhtted by tho operation is the milling trade. Secretary Shaw denies that wheat has been reduced by the drawback, and cIaims that the only peo- pie who are being hurt are the Canadian millers and wheat growers.
 Prick VIII Not Get Place.
 Henry Clay Prick, the steel magnate, will hardly become either Secretary of the Treasury or Secretary of the Navy as is being consistently reported. There is law that prohibits any importer from becoming Secretary of the Treasury. Any man at the had of a great business that imports materials and pays customs to the govrnment could not preside over the department that collects those dues. Mir. Prick giant concern does do this but that would probably not be the strongest req son against MT. Prick becoming head of the governments finances. His concern sells armor plate and steel 10 the govern ment for battleships.
 In addition. he is little too closely identified with Wall street to admit of his appointment to the treasury port fnlio

Masked Men Enter SenatObia Jail and Murdar Sheriff
EXCITEMENT AT FEVER HEAT
Men Went to Prison to Take Out Man Charged With Killing Buster Thomson at Stray

The depot is receiving a new
single roof this week. From the
looks of things it seems that our
petitions in regard to a new depot
have been in vain. We have to
take what we can get from the
railroad company and all we can
do is to bow our heads and say,
20! Lord, make us grateful for
what we are about to receive" 1t
is to be hoped that in time COM
modious depot will be built that
will be in keeping with other i'm
provements of our town and suit
able waiting room for ladies who
are compelled to await delayed
trains.
Under the auspices of the jun
ior normal picnic will be given
Saturday, July %, at Perry falls
on the Niobrara river about six
miles east of the fort, to which ev-
eryone is cordially invited. This
year more townspeople are
planning to 60 to this picnic than
to any heretofore given. Those
wishing to 60 will please let Pro-
fessors Watson or Gregory know,
so they can provide ample trans
portation. The round trip will be
only 25c. Let everyone bring
their dinners and spend one day
picnicking among the most beauti-
full scenery of Nebraska. The hay
racks will leave Main street at
1870 a. m. sharp.

The Patriots of Peace.

Remember what Sherman said
about war! 1t also applies to In
dependence day and the popping,
roaring. cracking, whooping, ex-
ploding that drives some folks al
most to insanity and means that
we are a nation of patriots and are
so glad of it that every year we
burn tons of powder and MAIN,
mutiIate and cripple between A.
900 and 5000 human beings
mostly boys.
And the popular idea of patriot
ism is war. We are glad we fought
or that our ancestors fought, and
the hair bristIes on the back of
our necks, and we feel, by hockey,
that we can fight again and that
the foreigners from London Town
to Valdivostok had better keep off
the toes of your Uncle Samuel.
Huh!
All right. The navy is growing
and we are spending millions for
target practice and more millions
for great guns. But let's hope
hard that there will never be an
other war, and that widows and
orphans will never again be made
in a strife with other nations or at
home. God grant it, is the pray
or of the millions.
A patriot isn't necessarily sol
der. A man doesn't have to
storm a fort to prove that he loves
his country. That kind of BRAY
cry is fine. 1t gets into the pa
pers and there is thrill of pride
even in the later days when flow
ers are strewn on graves and
women in black weep.
But don't you forget that there
are more patriots today than ever
before. There are millions of
them. They are behind counters
and in shops; they are running
locomotives and tilling farms.
They are not thinking much about
war. They have no hatred in
their hearts.
And how is it that they are pa
triots!
Because they are trying to do
their full duty as American citi-
zens. That is how.
They toll till their backs are
stopped and their hands gnarled
and knotted. They rear homes
and honor good women. They
bring up children and educate them.
They do not hesitate to deny them
selves to the end that those who
come after them shall find greater
opportunity and fill better place
in the affairs of the world than did
their parents.
They are fathers and mothers of
progress. They are the bone and
blood and sinew that make the ma
ton strong. They are the living
opponents of charity, decency,
energy and human love, and they
are stronger than the combined
armies and navies of the world.
And so, while the explosions in
memory of '76 shake the earth, be
glad that you are worthy men,
Der of that great army-The pa
triots of peace.
