"A ROYAL Slave

Of the plays that one sees IN a
lifetime he can count on his nm
gers the ones that combine high
literary merit with great dramat-
ic value. ga Royal Slave" is
one of these few and it also adds
deep heart interest and most
beautiful scenic surroundings
with which a play could DE en-
beIlished, as the scenes are laid
in Mexico, proverbially the land
of sunshine and flowers, of palms
and fountains. No play has ap-
peared in this country for years
of which the press speaks in such
unstinted and unqualified praise.
This is one of the surest aud best
tests of a really great play, anu
"A Royal Slave" is a great play
in every sense of the word. At the
Russell opera house, Brunswick,
Monday night, February 20.

est to Mrs. Bibee's old Chariton

LARAMIE, WYo., Feb. 9, 1905.
We have had fine weather here
this winter. The coolest weather
we have had lasted about IL
hours and was % degrees below
zero, and it is not known that
anyone froze or suffered very
much with cold. The STOW this
winter has not yet been over
four inches deep except where
there were small drifts | saw
some of the draymen driving in
their shirt sleeves last month.
The roads here are like summer.
time all the year round. There
is quite lot of game and there
is a fish hatchery close to our
town-the prettiest sight | ever
saw and we have the purest wa
ter in the world. The town is
furnished with water from a
large spring. We get as good
beef as ever ate, killed off the
range. There are stock out on
the range now doing we'll on
grass that stock in old Missouri
would starve to death on. AS
fine potatoes and turnips as ever
grew are raised here within
8 or 10 miles Of town, and |
have seen fine gardens here in
town. Prices of everything are
high, but very little higher than
in the East. Beef s to Is cts. a
pound, potatoes 80 cts. to 81 per
hundred pounds and apples ST in
the fall, and everything else in
proportion. Butter is % cts. all
the year round.

Now that we have been robbed
by couple of pretentious
"Christians ?" we would suggest
that they apply the proceeds of
their i'll. gotten gains toward
helping out the Brunswicker,
run by another member of the
devout ? Robertson family.
We have the vol lun tary
information that the Bruins
wicker is 1925 behind in
its office rent; that the editor is
in arrears about S45 for board:
that lady osteopath has placed
an account of $40 in the hands
of an officer for rubbing the
Brunswicker dude down, and
that he owes a former Brunswick
druggist bill of S45, the great
er part of which is for cigars
and perfumery. The Bruns-
wicker and its editor are in a
bad way, and they, too, should
resort to a game of bunko if
Daddy Joe and Brother Jim will
not come to the rescue with the
money they stole from US.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Tuesday,
February ID, 1905. The ship.
pers who have been able to get
their cattle on the market yester-
day and to.day have been repaid
partly, in advance in price from
last week, for their previous dis
couragements this season, bad
weather and failure of cattle
market to advance this month
and last as expected. Railroads
are getting around in shape
again, however, and cattle run
to- day is 1000 head, almost nor
NAL for Wednesday. Run at al
points yesterday, and latter part
of last week was insignificant,
and prices jumped up 10 to %
cts on all kinds of killing cattle
Market held nearly steady to-
day, closing easier. Cows and
heifers made their expected gain
last week, and are higher this
week, strong to-day, but have
now reached point where
further gains will make their po-
sition unsafe, and subject to
breaks.
The medium plain steers that
were selling last week at S4.25
now bring S4.45 to $3.50, and the
light runs lately have not in
cluded very many droves of
steers good enough to bring
above So. Best heifers lately
have sold at S4.40, heavy COWS
S4.15, bulk of the she stuff 1925
to 1915, and market is about 25
cts. higher than a week ago.
Gamers bring Si.75 to $3.50, fat
bulls 1926 to 1878, veals up to
81. Stocker and feeder trade
has been quiet for several weeks,
without much change in prices.
Some heavy steers were taken to
feedlots lately; 1900 to 1850
pounds at $3.50 to S4.75, for a
short feed, but sales of stockers
and feeders run along at So to
S4, Is, sometimes a little higher.
Stock COWS and heifers bring So
to So, stock steer calves 1925 to
S4.25, heifers 80 to Is cts. less
than steers.
The hog market took big
drop last week, out it has climbed
back up, and top both yesterday
and to-day is S5.12 1-2. Pigs
sell at S4,20 to S4.30, medium
light hogs on up to S4.S5, best
under 200 pounds S.. Bad
weather has affected hog ship
ments more than cattle, and big
runs are expected after present
state of weather breaks up, and
lower prices can also be looked
for when the surplus stuff comes
in.
The altitude of present mutton
market has never been equaled
at this market, but the
market appears to be on solid
foundation, and shows no
outward signs of weakening. At
the same time, this is one of the
times to look out for a break.
The lamb supply to-day, al
though they were light weight,
65 to 72 pounds, sold quickly at
S7.65 to S7.75. Choice heavy
lambs bring more. Top on
yearlings to-day is S6.85, wethers
$3.50, ewes So. 20, and bulk of
sales in each class doesn't run
much below these figures.

ROYAL PROPERTY IN NORWAY.

Castle and Royal Seat at Bygdoe Be-.
long to State. ).
Although the Bernadotte family has
occupied the throne of Norway for
nearly ninety years. its possessions in
Norway are singularly small. Morgen-
bladet of Christiania, in replying to
insinuations from Swedish sources that
Norway would deprive King Oscar OF
his property in Norway, gives an in.
ventory of his holdings. The castle in
Christiania, the villa known as Oscar
shall and the royal estate on Bygdoe
belong to the state, so King Oscar
loses nothing in that direction except
the pleasure of occupying them on rare
occasions. He does own, however, ad-
jacent to the Bygdoe estate, six villas,
church from Col, together with Hen
sengen and Stromsborg works. Fur
thermore there are some works of art
at the castle and Oscarshal and some
personal belongings. Criticism is
made because the castle has been de-
prived of several gifts presented to
the king with the expectation that
they would remain in Norway and also
of the portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm in
the uniform of Norwegian admiral,
which was taken to Stockholm last
year after having been hung fourteen
years at the castle.
Since the separation King Oscar ex-
pressed desire to possess the royal
standards which were flown from
Christiania CASTLE Oscarshal and Villa
Victoria on Bygdoe, which request was
promptly complied with. The flag at
Oscarshal bears the name of his ia
ther, Oscar L., and is hence deeply
cherished.

FISH TELEPHONE.
Device for Hearing Noises Made by
Deep-Sea Creatures.

A Norwegian electrician has invent
ed telephone by which the noise
made by fish in the depths of the sea
can be heard. The instrument consists
of microphone in a Theoretically
sealed steel box. 1t is connected with
telephone on shipboard by electric
wires, each sound in the water being
intensified by the microphone The in
ventOr asserts that with it's aid the
presence of fish, and approximately
their number and kind, ban be recog-
niZed. When herrings or smaller fish
are encountered in large numbers
they make a whistling noise, and the
sound made by Goldfish is more like
bowling. If they come near the sub
marine telephone, their motion can be
distinguished. The flow of water
through the gills produces noise
similar to the laBored breathing Of a
quadrupend and the motion of the
fins produces a dull, rolling sound.

Increase in Cremation.

Cremation is one of the oldest forms
of disposal of the dead, yet it is q
form that lapsed from use for CEN
turtles. 1t appears to be in process
of restoration. True, it has made but
little head against the custom of bur.
ial, yet there is an increase every
year in snch proportion that we may
look for a wide adoption of it within
the next quarter century. There are
in this country but twenty-six crema.
tories, yet this is against but two
eighteen years ago, and the number
of cremattons is $500 or more a year.
When statistics were first collected
on the subject, eighteen years ago,
the annual cremations numbered six
