OLD STACER ON COACH DAYS
They Are Gone Except in Spots
Says Jim Stephenson.
VETERAN RETURNS FROM WEST
Traverses Roads on Trains Over
which He Once Drove the RO-
mantle Rambling Horse
Caravan.

Except for some short distance, staging
in the mountains OF California, Colorado
and Wyoming, between railroad points,
the day of the stage coach is forever gone
in the west" said Colonel Jim Stephenson
at the Murray. Colonel Stephenson, one
Of the PIONEER stage coach men of the west,
a partner with Ben Holiday over the
Overland route from st. Joe to Salt Lake,
and Of Dan Butterfield from independence
to Sante Fee, has Just returned from a
ten mont's visit in Utah, wyoming, Cali
fornia and Colorado, where ne has closed
out the last of his stage lines, between
Larned and Washable.
THE Larned and washakie stage line
is the last OF the old stage coaching
routes, where the old Concords were used.
Staging over the plains is now but a
memory, but It is filled with the most
thrilling experiences of the west" con-
tinued Colonel Stephenson. THE old Holli-
day and Butterfield routes were history
makers and were for many years the only
communication between the Missouri river
and the Pacific coast. These old stage lines
blazed the way for ting transcontinental
railways. These railroad lines follow al
most identically the old stage routes.
with the building of the Union Pacific,
Kansas Pacific and sante Fe railroads the
stage lines went out of existence. In the
early '70s the Deadwood line started from
Sidney and Cheyenne into the Black Hills.
The old stage lines prior to that date had
their principal troubles with Indians. The
Deadwood line was beset mostly with
road agents or 'hold-up' men and many a
thrilling story has been woven about che
tragedies of the Deadwood coach.
Very little trouble was experienced with
Indians along the Deadwood stage line, as
compared to the constant attacks made by
Indians on the overland routes.
II knew Slade quite we'll, but he is a
much overestimated character and many
of the stories told of his brutalities and
atrocities are fictions pure and simple.
There are dozens of better men than he
all along the stage line. We had dozens OF
brave, courageous drivers that were better
men in every way than Slade, and they
had profound contempt for him.
The stage driver of the old days was
not a desperate by any means. nor wat
he afraid Of men of Shades stamp. Slade
always gave such men a wide berth. For
fifty years l have been associated with
overland staging and l hate to see the old
business go out of existence. / knew most
of the old stage men and drivers and a
truer hearted set of men never lived. They
were as honest as steel and did not know
what fear was. neither did they know
what fatigue was. They were always ready
for what they had TO do and did their
duty WELL"

HYDRANT RENT CASES LISTED
Noticed for Trial in Federal Court,
but Hearing May Wait Decision
on Appealed Suits.

ALI of the water works hydrant rental
cases, six in number, have been noticed
for trial at this term OF the federal court,
Two cases of the same nature are pending
In the United States circuit court OF appeals
and the hearing on these two cases has
been set for May 3, in that court. These
are exclusive OF the six cases pending
In the Omaha federal courts. 1t is pos
sible that the six cases will not be heard
In the Omaha courts until the final dis
position of the appeal cases.
To date but sixteen law cases and four
equity cases have been noticed for trial
for the Omaha term, beginning April 5,
which is the smallest number ever filed
for the beginning OF the session Of the
federal courts in Omaha.
Friday will be the last day for filing trial
notices.

WILDER WINS IN
A SICK BREEZE
Three Wrens Sail in Drifting
Match, and Commodore's
Leads Easily.

In spite of the rainy weather and
the almost entire absence of wind,
three wrens started in the race for
the Sanford prize yesterday morning.
Commodore Wilder s wren came in first
after two hours and half of sailing,
the Galloping Mary drifted over, a
quarter of mile behind, but twenty
minutes later and the Roaring Gimlet,
about the same distance behind Mary,
was left absolutely becalmed.
The race did not start till nearly
midday, when there were distinct signs
of clearing up and quite a good little
breeze blowing. Mary crossed the line
first with the Wilder boat second and
the Gimlet a few seconds later. The
wind was fair to the spar buoy. Mary
passed first with Charlie Wilder close
up and the Gimlet gaining.
The boats kept their positions to
the whistling buoy and rounded in the
same order. Mary bumped the buoy
in rounding From then to the spar
buoy, Charlie Wilder gained and luffed
the Gimlet close up.
Then the Wilder boat began to gain.
On the beat to windward she gained
considerably. Again the lesson, that
it seems so hard for the small boat
sailors to learn, was clearly exhibited.
The Wilder boat had its full compile
ment of five hundred pounds of ballast.
Both the others had only about three
hundred. Blow high or low, it is evil
dent that the wrens must have enough
ballast to put them down to their lines.
Before the quarantine dolphin was
reached, & small mixup between the
Mary and Gimlet enabled Charlie Viii
der to gain big lead which was never
shortened until the very last part of
the race.
On the 1uff>out before the wind the
boats all reached the spar buoy with
a fair breeze. Then the wind dropped
and a very light southerly air came
up. Then the rain came down in tor
rents and it was a very uncomfortable
drifting match all the rest of the way.
Finally a slight breeze sprung up off
shore but it was very light and the
wrens were Just about able to get back
into the harbor without rowing. The
wind was what the pilots described as
"sick breeze and very sick it was.
1t came from every old point of the
compass and never blew with enough
force to make the live ballast get up
to windward.

OLD TRIPLE ALLIANCE
IS VIRTUALLY OBSOLETE

Specifically the international politi-
cal situation is tranquil, but there are
one or two considerations of which
temperate observers should not lose
sight, says the Commercial News. The
great centers of the world are feverish-
ly anxious to fortify themselves with
gold. The old triple alliance between
Germany, Austria and Italy has re-
ceived a serious shock which leaves it
virtually obsolete. Italy is drawing
closer to France and Russia, and the
isolation of Germany, alleged to be the
policy of England, appears to increase.
By the establishment of private mining
interests in Morocco, Germany has pro-
vided an excuse for meddling with a
situation which Spain already finds suf-
fciently delicate and difficult. It will
be seen, therefore, that the armor-elad
dove of peace can receive scare at
any time.

FARM DRIvEWAYs EASILY MADE
Have Good Roadbed from the Road to
the House.

While we are busily talking about
good roads, we must not forget the
most needful one is that which runs
from the gate to the barns, and over
which we travel many mile during
the year. At the time | moved to Ma
pleside farm eight years ago, writes a
Michigan farmer to Orange Judd Farm
er, the mud was hub deep for the
horses, and no better for the men on
the footpaths. We moved here April
IL, and the women folks did not get
to the barns until after the middle of
May. AS soon as the crops were in,
those roads received my individual at
tention, until in a serviceable condi-
tion.
/ did not draw in more dirt to soak
up, but began at the bottom by plow-
ing out and removing over foot of
the soil. then opened a gravel bank
and drew in enough to fill that taken
out. Next l made arrangements for
some cinders, and put them over the
gravel about foot thick This an
swered very we'll that season, but in
the fall before the mud began to deep
en-, | covered the road again, and dur
ing the winter all the coal ashes were
spread wherever there seemed to be
low spot. BY tc3lewing this scheme
for four years succeeded in making a
road that never has any mud. If
find low spot, where water stands
after rain, 1t is taken care of at once.
On the south side of the house, three
years ago, l built a road that has not
required any repairing as yet beyond
drawing three loads of gravel last
spring. For this road | pursued a lit
tie different method. 1t was old sod
so | plowed through it and turned the
sod upside down three deep on either
side of the road, then drew out all the
dirt beneath that was loose and easy
to handle.
This left me a trench about IS
inches or two feet to fill, which / did
from my gravel bank, and no cinders
were put on this road, as | could not
get them. This roadway is about nine
inches above the lawn on either side,
and never gets muddy. About the
house are cement platforms and walks,
while the roadway on either side is so
hard it can be swept at any time. |
fad it pays when you are at it to make
a good road, and takes no longer.
