Chaunccy Depew la not above tellirut a.
story at his own expense. His latest of
that kind Is of traveling: on an English
railroad during his recent trip abroad
with Mrs. Depew. In '.hi same little com
partment with them was dull-looking
Britisher to whom Chauncey told a story,
saying as he finished: "That Is the way
that American fellow Depew tellri it."
The Engllsman asked: "What does this
I"epew look likei" "My dear." said the
senator, turning to his wife, "what does
Depew look like?" "Very much such a
looking man as you are, I Imagine."
"Surely, madam," remarked the English
man, with a gesture of sad expostulation,
"you don't do your husband Justice."
Later the senator discovered that the
Englishman know him all the time.
Literary statisticians have been com
puting that Sir A. Conan Doyle would be

of the Baskervlllei," and without count
ing the new book, whlci is now running
serially, his takings would have come to
something like $1,600,000. But the author
has not always received 2 a word, or
even the hundredth part of that. There
Is a letter in the possession of an Amer
ican publisher embodying a proposition
from the creator of Sherlock Holes for a
contract on the basis of a cent and a half

the contract was declined.

BOX ELDER VALLEY
AS A FRUIT COUNTRY
All of the Hardy Varieties and
Small Fruits Produces
-r Abundantly.
LARGE AMOUNT SHIPPED
First Orchard Was Pianted
Years Ago, With Doubtful Results,
•j. but Country Has Been Found
to Be Adapted to Fruit. ....
Rapid City, S. £., Oct 6.—The valley
of Box Elder creek is gaining a fame
as the most productive fruit region In
the Black Hills am) the crop of apples,
winter pears, plums, cherries, grapes
and small fruits that has been raised
this year has more than sufficed to
supply demands of the local fruit mar
kets, besides leaving a large amount
for export. While there are not man
who can boast of producing orchards
at the present taimc, still those who
have bearing trees this year and last
have reaped a rich harvest and have
found the production of l'rult as profit
able, and more so, than the raising of
cereals.
I The fruit farm and nursery of Chris
Thompson, six miles north of Rapid
^lty, on Box Elder, at this time is un
ler perfect cultivation and contains
thousands of trees which for the past
ten years have been a source of protit
to tnelr owners. It is over twenty
years since the first apple 'tree was
planted In this orchard, but since that
time Mr. Thimpson, who brought with
him to the Black Hills a knowledge of
horticulture, gained by long experi
ence, has Increased the standard of his
orchard, until It now contains only the
choicest varieties of apples, hardy
pears and cherries.
Mr. Thompson has picked and packed
over 1,200 barrels of early apples from
his orchard already this year, and there
are still on the trees many hundreds of
barrels of winter apples. He has also
marketed large quantities of cherries,
plums and grapes, besides many thou
sand boxes of small fruits which came
earlier in the year. At the present
time he has about 160 acres of apple
trees, alone, all but a fow of them bear-

NEW BLACK HILLS BRIDGES.
The Latest Structures Are to Be Buih
Entirely of Stone and Steel.
Lead, S. D., Oct. li.—Material has
been ordered by the county commls
iloners for three steel bridges to be
constructed along the road between
Lead and Deadwood. Two of these
bridges will be built at Pluma and the
pther will be built near the brickyard
between Pluma and Headwood. They
will be sixteen feet wide, of all over
trusses resting on stone abuttmeiits.
The county is beginning to supplant
lome of its old wooden bridges, and It
Slve way to steel. The stone work on
the abutments Is to be commenced at
j|mce. The bridge, material is to be
flipped at once from Omaha and will

Every Military Prisoner to Be Freed
Men Will Appeal.
St. Paul, Oct. 6.—On a decision which
will probably be filed in SL Paul during
the October term of the United States
circuit court of appeals depends the free
dom of every military and guardhouse
prisoner In the United States. The decision
may break the shackles of a thousand
men.
The case Is that of Edward M. Brode,
James P. Coffee, Andrew Handshoe, and
John H. Morris, prisoners at Fort Leav
enworth military penitentiary. The case
hangs on what construction the court will
place on the court-martial commitment or
der that each man "shall be confined in
such place as the reviewing authority shall
direct."
The prisoners claim that only the courts
martial have the power to direct a place of
confinement, and that such an order ts
Judicial and beyond the power of any re
viewing authority. As the courts-martial
failed to direct a place of confinement,
there Is no such place, and the men must
go free If this contention Is "upheld.
Every military prisoner In the United'
States has had his place of confinement
directed by the reviewing authority, and
all will bo affected. If

NOT A HAPPY ONE

MANY GUESTS IN TEARS
IB*—
Mr. Bryan. However, Pulled Himself
Together and Was Cheerful as
Possible, Yhough He Didn't
"f Congratulate Groom.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 6.—There is no
doubt now that the Bryan household'
regarded the marriage of Miss Ruth
tc William. Homer Leavltt, which took
place Saturday evening, as more a:
tragedy than a hasty ending to a ro
mince. Mrs. Bryan was not present
at the ceremony, nor did she again
present herself during the evening. Al
though there were about 125 guests,
Mis. Bryan after receiving them went
to her room before- the ceremony and
there she remained. None of the guests
say her again during the evening.
It was also noted that Mr. Bryari
presented no congratulations after the
ceremony. It was extremely simple.
Dr. D. W. C. Huntington of the Ne
braska Wesleyan university officiating.
Miss Bryan wore a traveling suit of
blue and gray zlbeline, black and gray
shirt waist and large hat. Mr. Leavltt
woip a business suit and white vest.
Brlie and groom were the only ones
in the company not in evening costume.
Company Not Cheerful.
Most of the company were in tears
before the ceremony was ended. The
apparent effort of the Bryan family to
be cheerful was reflected In the guests.
Wken the ceremony was over Dr.
Huntington presented the. couple, say
ing
'.'ladies and gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs.
Leavltt are ready to receive your con
gratulations."
There was a long pause. Nearly ev
eryone of the 125 persons in the large
room had been weeping. No one of
fered to advance for several moments.
Finally Mr. Bryan, pulling himself to
gether, walked up to his daughter,
placed his arm around her and kissed
hen He shook hands with the groom,
but spoke no word of congratulation to
him. After Mr. Bryan had congratu
lated the couple, Mrs. A. L. Leavltt of
Newport, mother of the groom, offered
her congratulations, and she was fol
lowed by the forty Delta Gamma girls,
all of whom were In tears.
The other guests then greeted Mr.
aud-Mra. Leavltt, and after fifteen mln
utes had been used iu this "way, every
body went below to t-he dining room,
said to "be the finest dining roc-m. in
Nebraska, "where refreshments1 were
served.
Mr. Bryan and his children made a
little, group in the dining room, Grace
and'William clinging close to their
father and taking no part in the affair
other than to s)t wide-eyed and gaze
vt their new brother-in-law
Bryans Opposed It 1
Before all of the guests had finished
eating, Mr. and Mrs. "Jjeavitt lefu the
dining rOom. The bride, being Bisck
oned by her father, went up stair%jjre
sumably to her mother's room -This
was her farewell. She Joined Mr. Leav
ltt at the door and, wlt'h Mr. Bryan,
little Grace and William, jr., they went
to the front* porch and good byes were
there said. The Delta Gammas and
guests did not follow the bride and
groom to the door. There was no rice
and old shoes were absent. The bride
and groom called a last good bye to
Mr. Bryan and walked, down the front
yard to the street car station, a quarter
of a mile away* They walked all the
way to the station, together with a few
guests who were leaving, and came
to the city in a street car. They had.

BIG ENGINEERING FEAT.
*lah»i-,Announoed f°r Pennsylvania'*
Tunnels to New York.
New York, Oct. 6.-After a month'*
consultation between eminent engi
neers the Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany finally has decided upon the
methods by which It will build its tun
nels under the North and East rivers
and Manhattan island, and has adver
tised for the work and material. The
construction beneath the North river
will consist of two cast iron tubes, en
tering the city at the foot of West
Thirty-second street and running un
der that street. They will be built by
the shield process. The cast iron tubes
will be built in sections behind shields
as the shields are pressed forward and
inside the cast iron will be a lining of
concrete.
Safety Devices.
Among the many precautions to makt,
the tunnel as safe as possible will be
tw concrete sidewalks, built Inside the
tubes, on a level with the car windows.
The object of' the walks is to provide
exits for passengers, in case of acci
dent. From the car windows it will be
easy to step to the avenue of safety.
Every car, it is claimed, will be fire-,
proof. The tunnel itself will be fire
proof. The signal system will be the
most perfect known.
The lighting power will be separate
from that which furnishes the oper
ating force, and there are to be nu
merous hydrants and hose nozzles
ready to be put Into immediate use in
event of fire. The underground station
In this city will extend from Seventh
to Ninth avenues and from Thirty
first to Thirty-third street. The pla.ns
provide that it shall be about forty
feet below the street level and will be

Many people have been wondering
why it is that the packers, who, before

were continually protecting against the
high r.iJlroad rates, lnive submitted
without protest to the advance in

here had been completed
A Secret Arrangement.
It is now learned from reliable au
thority that the conduct of the pack- Sg,.
ers is due to a secret arrangement be- |gt.
tween the packers and the Chicago- p,.,
eastbound roads, whereby the Eile was
induced to cancel a eoiiliact made by
Swift & Co. on January lb, 1903, to con
tinue in effect for three years. This
contract made a rate not to exceed 40
cents a hundred pounds on dressed
beef from Chicago to New Yoik and.
Boston.
To get the Erie to annul its contract
with Swift & Co. and comply with
their agreement, the packers, it is al
leged, agreed to give the Erie a laiger
tonnage of the dressed beef weekly
than it would be able, to get under
01-
linary circumstances.
Offer Bonu^of $150,000.
After the merger of the packing,
house interests in Chicago the New
York Central, Pennsylvania, Baltimore
and Ohio and other trunk lines, it is
packers who had made the agite^.ent
with the Erie for the withdrawal of the- andffiK
40-cent rate, and these roads paid the ^»dp

that conditions throughout the country.
and more particularly in the west and
southwest, were never more favorable
that at present that there is no
justification for the pessimistic wave
that engulfs Wajl street, that in due
course of time the general prosperity
of the country at large must have a
reflex Influence on all speculative
trading,'and that at nc time in the
history of the United States have gen
eral conditions for the successful car
rying out of great business enter
prises been more promising than now
"It is true," said Mr. Gould, "that
an almost unacountable wave of pes
simism is now overhauling Wall
street. This wave is erratic and spo
radic and is not justified by the busi
ness conditions existing In the coun
try at large. My own personal ob
servations show that crops are ex
ceedingly large—the corn crop being
a bumper that railroad earnings
must necessarily increase and that as
soon as the money whtnh has been ad
variced from this financial center for:
the purpose- of moving the crops and:
the futherance or railroad extensions
and enterprised'jreyerts to Its normal
channels,'.as Is 5inevitable, the country
at large will enter upon a new and
much greater era of prosperity
"•I am confident that things will
right themselves ln a comparatively
short space Of lime. As the crops
move and money again gets into cir

improve. The stringency of the last
few weeks is entirely natural and
there is absolutely no cause for alarm
