MORE RAILROAD BUILDING.

DR.. Tracy, government veterinar-
ian, has Returned from South Dakota.
He made trip on stock business over
the Milwaukee coast line, and reports
the arrival of construction crews at
Mobridge and Wakpala. The report
is current in that part of the state,
that the Milwaukee contemplates a
considerable extension southwest
through the Standing Rock and the
Cheyenne Indian reservations. The
unexpected appearance of the con-
struction outfit was a surprise to the
many residents in that part of the
state The railroad company has
given out that large amount of the
branch line railroad building, by the
Milwaukee system, may be expected
in the future. The opening of the two
Indian reservations, in which are To-
Gated many thousand acres of good
agriculture land, is expected possibly
by next fall.

MAKING A FISHING ROD.

Different Kinds Of Australian Woods
Used for Various Joints.
+ Queensland woods have lately come
into fashion for the making of fishing
rods. The South American green
heart was imported into Australia
and New Zealand extensively former

the wc1as OF the Queensland forests,
,vh,ch furnish material for the build
ing OK very effective rod, and there
is talk of establishing an export
trade.
Tie following description Of a fish
ing rod maze from these Australian
woods illustrates the point. For the
butt black wood was employed. This
is q dark colored, nicely figured, close
grained timber, very hard and heavy.
It is used chiefly az . substitute for
the walnut and has been turned to
advantage in gun stocks. joinery and
cabinet work and can be carved for
panels. y: = %.:~E.> E.. Z. a. *

grayish timber; the grain, while o ten
perfectly straight, 10 occasionally in
terlocked; q hard, tough and elastic
wood; It is much used for the making
Of spokes, shafts, piles, X handles,
inns and many other purposes.
The top joint was contributed Of a
red gum, a straight 1bered tough
wood. which, although heavy. may be
worked freely. This IL another valu-
able and common wood, being largely
employed in the construction Of car.

TURKEYS SULTAN
CONTINUED from page L.

which began at five O'Clock this
eted and small parties of cavalry re-
connoitered. After desultory firing,
just before dawn, strong advance
was made in the southwest part of
Pera. The attacking forces spread
out in long line and made an as
sault upon the Matchka and Tasch-
kiscila barracks, south of the palace,
where they were met with stubborn
resistance.
The invaders continued to advance
in three columns with the utmost pre-
cision and occupied all the points of
vantage. Volunteers from Chevgeli
received their baptism of fire from
Matchka, but stood their ground well
and replied with a sharp fire. The
strength of the volunteers was over
whelming, and the Matchka garrison
soon surrendered.
The fighting IN the Stambou1 quar-
ter occurred at the porte, where the
garrison refused to surrender. After
a sharp fusillade they we're obliged
to hoist the white flag. There was
still fighting at the Iplik Haneh bar
racks, where the mutinous artillery
men, who recently arrived from
Tscha were CHARTERED. Perhaps the
most remarkable feature Of the at
tack was the great number Of people
of many nationalities, including many
Europeans who thronged the streets
Immediately outside of the zone OF the
firing. Everybody showed that con-
fidence had been inspired by the dis
cipline, valor and friendly courtesy
of tie invading troops particularly
the gendarmes at Saloniki. ~.
The number of casualties probably
never will be known, but 1t is esti-
mated far into the thousands.
! Around the Taxim barracks alone
it is believed that thousand or more
men fell. Private houses within line
of fire suffered greatly. One of the
heaviest losses to the parliamen tary
forces occurred through the misuse of
the white flag by the besieged Tasch
Kischla barracks. For more than an
hour machine guns of the attacking
party poured a hail of shot into the
garrison and tnen the defenders
hoisted the white flag. Infantry NOV
ed forward in the open, and the gun
fire was suspended. When the bat
|talion was within four hundred yards
of the barracks guns behind the walls
opened up a deadly fire on them 20
being killed and 80 wounded.
| In one-quarter some 5000 troops
we're engaged in the conflict but with
the terrific exchange of shots few non
combatants were killed. a..

uary "a, it is safe to say, viii prove
one of the most pleasing dramas Of
the current season.
Its scenes are laid in Florence and
Italy and are painted with an effort
which combines gorgeousnes and ex-
quisite beauty. The first act shows
a rose garden in Florence. the home
Of the heroine, and is a masterpiece
of beauty in ~stagecraft with its spray
ing fountain Of water in the center
and abundance of roses all around.
The second act takes place in the
glittering palace Of Lucrezia Borgia
and contains many powerful scenes
while the third act is remarkable for
its great intensity. The act shows
the interior of the chamber Of the
Council of the Inquisition in the for.
tress Of st. Angelo. The entire
scene is hung in black, the somber-
ness OF which is relieved only by the
flaming red gown and mask OF the
President Of the Council. To this
chamber the Florentine Lily pene-
trates and finds her father about to
be tortured into a confession of plot
ting against His Holiness, the Pope.
Of which another is guilty. She
makes her plea before the Council
and is harshly ordered by the Red
Mask to leave. In this voice she
discovers the betrayer Of her father
and denounces him. One of the
Councillors defends her, who, upon
unmasking, proves to be Cardinal
Capua, the real power behind the
Pope, who instantly dismisses and
dissolves the Council. The father is
thus restored to the arms of the Lily
and eliminates a story Of intensity
and delightful interest to the audi
tors.

At the Bijou.

The Vernon Stock company began weeks engagement at the Bjou theatre sast night, presenting for the opening night a drama by Mark Swan entitled ''The Un- written Law" The play deals with the attempted arrangement of loving hus- band and wife by designing persons and the action is enlivened with a comedy ele- ment furnished by two other love affairs. One of these is the wooing of college youth who aspires to the hand of what may be styled a sweet young thing and the other comedy love match is that of an old doctor for a rather antique fe- male who has her head set on getting married Neither the play nor the play CTS made a very favorable impression last night, although some specialties helped along considerably, placed In between the acts and including singing and dancing acts Perhaps with better material to work on the company could get better re- suits
