guard at the penitentiary, who in an
afternoon paper yesterday made IN at
tack on the prison management at
Rawlins, was not exactly fired" but

the weather and SO he resigned. He
was a guard inside the prison and his
conduct toward the female prisoners
was so offensive that he was placed
outside, where he could not pass notes
to their cells and otherwise annoy
them. He told Lessee Gramm yester-
day that he thought he was badly
treated and would make an attack on
the management in retaliation. Mr..
Gramm told MIN he had no control oy-
er his actions. and if he wanted to get
into it, Just go ahead" The lessee is

Merrimac Hero Sees Things.

New York, Feb. 1--WE must fight
Japan unless Japan backs down. 1t is
inevitable. Japan wants to fight, and
is being egged on by Great Britain,
which wants to destroy our commerce
in the east. AS it stands now, Japan
could whip us, because We have nc
navy to save ourselves. Japan would
fight us in a minute were it not for
public sentiment, and the fact that
she must negotiate some loans in Eng.
land. The chances of a war with Ger
many are much less than the almost
certainty of a war with Japan"

lens in Construction in the West
Half Section of Land Located.

Two location notices were filed in
the county clerks office yesterday aft,
ernoon, simple in themselves, as far
as the record of the office goes, merely
carrying the information that wv. H.
Reed ct 81" had filed claim for "Sili.
cate No. 1" n III. G. Knight ct al"
had filed claim for "Silicate No. g."
The record showed the hour of the fl
ing, the fee to be paid for filing and
the names in interest. That was all.
Beautiful Boom Item.
Back of these filings is as pretty a
boom story as The Republican has had
for some time, and one whose inner
most paragraphs will not be written
for some days yet, perhaps a fortnight.
The claims of the parties in interest,
if made good, and there is no reason
on earth why they should not, will
tend to a revolution Of the building in
dustry in this state, utilizing common
sense, some hard cash and natures
bountiful store of products in the Lar
annie plain for the production of build
ing material better than pressed brick
andas cheap as or cheaper than wood"
for the construction of walls for
buildings, both business and residence,
paving of streets, building Of sewers
and making sidewalks. In short, a
material that is impervious to mois-
ture, hard and endurable as the ever
lasting hills themselves and at a price
that will make of it an ideal material.
Body of Silica sand.
The two claims located embrace
half a section Of land near the city
springs, just back of the Holiday
stone quarries and contain one OF the
most remarkable beds of silica sand
opened anywhere. In addition to
this bed there is a ledge of limestone
that is one of the finest in the world,
as far as the promoters of this enter
prise know. 1t will produce lime SO
per cent pure, too pure for many build
ing purposes, but for the purpose to
which it will be applied in this in
stance, nothing could be better. All
the material to be used in the manu-
facture of this building material can
be produced right on the ground ex-
cept fuel, and as there is not a great
lo,1 - thot 10 no rcaI and nc a rail-
road track runs not far from the
claims of the proposed company, there
is little t O fear from that.
Company to Be Formed.
The gentlemen interested directly
include Prof. H. G. Knight, Prof. L.. w.
Trumbull, w. H. Reed. Frank c. Bos-
Ter and Otto Gramm, with others less
in interest. The gentlemen are now
at work upon the plans for the incor-
poration of a company n the cree
ton of a plant at the silica beds, which
will require some money for machin-
cry and for other purposes. The com
pany will be incorporated and the
liant erected in time for the comzns
building season here.

within the next fortnight, and an

made, together with a full description

duchess that she had settled matters
with the duke and obtained possession
of her children, whose custody the
duke, like the Count de Castellane, had
financial bargain with their mother.
He gets several millions.
Boni the Better Gentleman.
A friend of the duchess familiar with
all the affairs of the ducal difficulties
declared yesterday hat the Count de
Castellane proved himself to be more
of a gentleman in his domestic diff,
ficulties than had the famous English
Duke of Marlborough, who took ad,
vantage of everything, knowing that
the duchess love for her children
would compel her to submit to his
financial demands.
Duchess Going to Paris.
The duchess, with her mother, Mrs,
o. H. p. Belmont, and her children are
expected to arrive in Paris Wednes.
day. After spending a week in Paris
they will go to the Riviera. The Ouch
ess will return to New York with heI
mother in the spring.
May Displease One Girl.
News that the duchess will not di-
vorce the duke ought not to please
one American girl, whose beauty is
famous in Paris, London and New
York. The dukes attentions to her is
notorious, and she hoped in the event
of divorce that the duke would make
her Duchess No. 2. The duchess &C,
ton destroys her ambition. Miss
