Northwestern and Burlington
Fighting For Right Of Way,

Cheyenne, Wyo., Jan.22. A
bitter struggle is now on be-
tween the Burlington and
Chicago & Northwestern rail-
roads for a right of way and
other privileges in the vicinity
of Thermopolis in the Big Horn
basin. The Burlington rail road
has applied to the state board
of charities and reform for an
exclusive right of way through
the Big Horn canyon and across
the state reserve at Thermop-
oils.
Both the Northwestern and
Burlington are hurrying
surveys and other work looking
to the building of lines to the
wind river Indian reservation,
in Central Wyoming, which is
to be opened to the settlement
next June. The Northwestern
is extending its line west from
Casper, while the Burlington is
to build south from it's Taluca-
line. The Northwestern will not
stop at the reservation, but has
planned to build on northwest
erly through the Big Horn
country into Montana.
The outcome is being watch
ed with keen interest by rail
road men all over the country.
The Burlington will begin
work at Frannie in a few weeks
on it's Thermopolis railroad.
From Thermopolis the line will
be extended westward through
the Kirwin mining district,
thence south of the Yellow
stone park, down snake riv er
and into Idaho and Utah.
The whole population of Rus
sia is being supplied with circu-
lers advising the killing of the
Mobiles, the Generals, and the
Aristocrats. A little killing of
that crowd would be good for
Russia.

II a Debate.

The debate last night before
the Mems Club of the Presbyte-
rian Church, on the Philippines
was a good one. The four con-
testants made it hot for each
other, Notwithstanding the low
temperature.
Mr.. j. B. Lyon made the open
ing speech, and as usual, was
witty and full of stories that
aptly illustrated his points.
Mr.. A. G. Brown made his
first appearance before the Club
but his stock of carefully gath
cred statistics and his earnest
delivery will make him a well
come speaker at any future
occasion.
Mr.. w. H. Fensler was very
hard after the Carpet baggers,
who go in to govern any people
for the money that is in it. y
He also made a good point aside
from the general question, that
such debates were valuable to
the boys they should avail
themselves of them to become e
speaker.
Mr.. c. w. Kellogg called into
the debate, at the last moment,
did we'll. The U. S. flag waved
over the Philippine Islands for
the good of the people, not for
our enrichment. He was very
sorry that our Congressman
were not at the Club tonight to
get a good view of this ques-
tion from both sides.
For information, wit, hard
sense, and patriotism, the de-
bate was admirable, and we look
forward to the announcement of
the next number by the Litera-
ry Committee of the Club.

Prof. Newens Of Ames
College, is the next entertainer
lin the Popular Lecture Course.
He comes Friday Feb. 3rd. He
is an Iowa man and a great
favorite with the Iowa people.
The Keokuk Daily Democra
says of him. "Newens is an
artist in the truest sense Of the
word. In the interpolation Of
thought, it matters not what
the kind, from the subtl 6
humor to the most profound
pathos, he manifests the per-
screption of ahighly cultured
student of literature. So per-
feet are his i1npersonations
that his audience loses the
Newens in the characters he
depicts. His facial expressions
are indeed most excellent, and
in all the characters from the
roughest to the refined Newens
is always at ease. There was
applause for the reader trough
out the evening and nothing
but praise for him when he
had concluded his entertain
ment."
The Big Stone Journal says:
"The Sky Pilot" needs no
introduction to the public here.
Mr.. Newens' Interpretation of
it has been most successful.
Both the man and the book are
one on the platform. "Broncho
Bill" in stamping out agonosti-
cism and in the erection of the
church are among Mr.. Newens'
most clever pieces of work.
Many are given to say that this
program excels any work he
has ever done. "The Sky Pilot"
is a live book and deserves the
praise the public is giving it.
Adrian M. Newens, the inn
personator, appeared before a
large audience at the M. e.
church last Tuesday evening,
presenting a r@nologue from
Ralph Connor's book, "The Sky
Pilot" followed by a few comedy
sketches that were very pleas
ing to his audience. Mr..
Newens made a great hit last
season at the Chautauqua and
the management of the enter
tainment course made a special
request that he appear before
an Ortonville audience. His
rendition of "The Sky Pilot
was high class. He imperson-
ates the characters so cleverly
that the audience forgets the
real Mr.. Newens and loses him
in the character he is imperson-
ating. His facial expression
and changes of voice are ex-
cellent. His presentations are
Of a high order, graphic and in
spring, and his entertainment
was one of the best attractions
of the course.
The News of New York City
says. "He is an artist in the
highest sense. Tickets for the
three remaining attractions of
the course Prop. Newens, DR..
Green, and Kathern Ridgeway,
80 cents. Single tickets so cts.
School tickets half price. The
box office will be open Thur
day Feb. 2 nd from 6 to 9 p. m.
and Friday 3 rd after 8 a. m.
for reserved seats. Any one
telephoning for tickets or seats
will be carefully waited upon.

evening small tables were
brought in and a delicious two

of the guests decided they
would make it embarrassing for
the hostess and call for several
cups of coffee but the hostess
heard of it before they arrived
and had prepared for the en-
ergency. At midnight the club
adjourned after having had a
delightful evening.

The Forum Museum.

Rome Correspondence London Post.
Commentators Bonis appeal for contrl-
buttons TO the Forum Museum has met
with a ready response from different parts
OF Italy, whence numerous contributions
illustrative of Roman remains have been
sent for the Forum collection Thus. the
town council OF Fiesole has sent photo
graphs of the theater there; the authorities
of Genoa, Bologna and Domodossola have
likewise given photographs of Roman mon
uments in their respective districts; the
archaeological society of Como has pre-
scented forty-two volumes of its publica-
tons; Signor Beltrami, the eminent archi-
tect and senator, has given collection of
architectural reconStructions of various
Roman sepulchral monuments and other
objects.
owing to the heavy falls Of rain during
this season it has been impossible to pros
ecute the excavations in some iow-lying
parts of the Forum, while the lack of
funds has prevented the continuation of
those at Ostia. Yet the Italian govern
ment has been asked to undertake the Her
culean task of eXcavating Herculaneum
with Its own resources.

Pure Air in Public Conveyances.

From the Chicago News.
Considering the progress which sanitary
science has made in recent years it is re-
markable that so little, comparatively
speaking has been done toward providing
better facilities for ventilation in public
places. That pure air Is essential to
health and a powerfully effective agency
in checking the spread of disease has been
universally recognized Systematic efforts
have been made with more or less success
to compel the adequate ventilation of tene-
ments and factories. Meantime. little has
been done toward providing similar pro-
lection for the travelling public
II is to this phase of the question that
Surgeon General Wyman of the marine
hospital service has called attention in a
report dealing with the evils of ill-venti-
lated railway coaches and street cars Act
ing upon his recommendations various
boards of health throughout the country
said TO be taking up the subject with a
view to securing adequate ventilation in
all kinds of public conveyances. The agi
taton should be continued until it leads to
a radical improvement in this respect. The
ordinary railway coach or sleeping car is
ill-ventilated. but conditions in the average
street car in winter time and particularly
In the rush hours are worse.
The injury that these conditions have
done TO the public health can scarcely be
overestimated. State and municipal boards
of health cannot lay too much stress upon
the subject If they would see increasing
progress toward a lower death rate

Morals and Athletics.

From the Seattle Post-IDteliigencer
No one familiar with athletics will deny
their moral and physical aspects They are
a power for good in the sense of physical
worth, and are factors in the making of
morality that should not be underestimated
1t Is a familiar contention that athletics
have too important place in a college cur
riculum This is logically unsound If edu-
cational institutions are to be educational In
the complete sense of that term. Develop-
ment is out of harmony if there is only men
tai development. What of the moral nature
and the physical parts? Are they to be neg
lected? great athlete of the old school
who has outlived his day and generation in
riority had been greatly heightened because
he early recognized the fact that muscular
tissue would deterorate if the individual
formed bad habits. He said that he did not
use liquor or tobacco, because both were in
furious. He did not swear. because the
swearing habit caused him TO lose his self
control This man deliberately cultivated
sobiiety, temperance and the virtues that
discipline mems natures and make for bet
Ter characters, as a means of promoting his
physical superiority over other athletes
Today there is hardly a professional wres-
tier or prize fighter who either drinks or
uses tobacco. An instance is found in the
rifle expert. He is the same sort of self
disciplined creature. He knows that to use
either narcotics or stimulants means to lose
his nerve.

The lew the Worlds Idealist.

The mission of the Jews in the world to-

this is of equal importance-to contribute
TO the sum total of human culture that fac
tor which, for want of better term, may

1t is argued that this Hebraic element has
been absorbed and is now possessed by the
Christian world, and that whatsoever OF 1t
is needed is supplied by Christianity Upon
investigation this statement viii be found
inaccurate In its early days Christianity
compromised overmuch with paganism. and
pagan elements are still IN evidence. Greek
