THE iORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLTRIBONE: fRIDAY EVENING, MARCH I, 1895. oraix surrtirs of the cocxtby. Stock of Corn Is 100,000,000 Bushels Less ' Than I-ast Year. Chicaoo, Feb. 28. The March report of the Orange Judd Fanner, which ap pears in the issue of the current week, makes the total stocks of grain now in farmers hands: Corn, 503,239,000; bush els; wheat, 104,578,000; oa4, 254,174,000. The stock of corn is 100,000,000 bush els less than last year, but the crop from which it remains was 275,000,000 smal ler, showing that economy in feeding and the partial substitution of other grains is bridging over the deficiency in tho crop. The distribution of the re maining farm stock is abnormal, more than 30 per cent of the total being in three states, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. These states hold 40,030,000 more corn than a year ago, but Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska hold less than 30 per cent of last year's stocks at this date. The stocks of wheat remaining in first hands are apparently 10,000,000 to 15,000,000 bush els smaller than the actual stocks of last March. a determined by the final dis tribution. It is possible that this difference is almost offset by the increase in visible stocks and in country elevators, that it is almost safe to as sume that the aggregate supplies of wheat in the country are little changed from a year ago. The great bull: cf the wheat remaining is in the winter wheat states, where a very large crop w:is liar vested, but in Minnesota and the Da kota nearly 20,000,00!) bushels are yet on the farm. A careful investigation as to the amount fed farm animals shows that the earlier expressions were exag gerated. Local returns from every coun ty indicate that the amount thus dis posed of up to March 1 will not exceed 37.000.000 bushels. Corn was relatively dearer than wheat only during a short time in the early fall. At the time feed ing of wheat was general, but when valuer returned to their normal range, feeding largely ceased. In Iowa, Kan sas and Nebraska it was maintained, and still continue. In the main winter wheat states then' was a large corn crop, while- in thi spring wheat district but comparatively little feeding is ever done. lIVO:tCI2 A Til CM E FOK AVOJlEX. Complaint Against rrowtit I.aw Cuutld-c-.rcl by tlir National Council. Vashintion, Feb. 2S. Complaints against tho present system of divorce laws was the burden of today's session of the National Council of Women. The entire day session was devoted to this theme, and a number of interesting addresses wero delivered before a crowded hall. The discussion was led by the of ficial report of the common divorce re form, read by Chairman Bottello Die trick of Massachusetts. It embodied re spouses received from a number of state governors who were asked to call tho at tention of tho legislatures to the status of the divorce laws and to appoint a committee tocousistof an equal ntimber of men and women to consider tho mat ter. The question, the report said, was one vitally concerning the happiness and welfare of a great many people, of whom half are of tho female sex, and added: "Women should thoughtfully consider the significance of the fact that 31 per cent of tho masculine servants of the people made no response to this just- request of representative women. Only two, Crovernor Green halge of Massachusetts and Governor Brown of Rhode Island, promised to do all in their power to carry out the re quest. The g jvernor of South Carolina wrote that that state had no divorce laws and its people wero batter satisfied than their neighbors whose states have divorce laws. Tho report said that tho fact that 23 states have appointed bodies of men to tinker with divorce laws with out appointing any women ought to show women in what estimation tho men of the United States held their opinions. Tho officials serving the in terests of tho United States cherish frank contempt for woman's opinions and wishes, was the conclusion expressed in the report.

SIM INTl SENATE Stewart's Jlotion to Reconsider the Cur rency Commission Plan Defeated. HOUSE WILL NOT YIELD, Hitt's Motion to Concur la the Hawaiian Cable Amendment to tho Diplomatic BUI Snowed Under Honse and th Sundry Civil Dill. Washington, Feb. 28. Lucien Ba ker, the new senator-elect from Kansas, was on the floor of the senate for the first time ad was introduced to his as sociates by Mr. Martin, whom he suc ceeds. Mr. Gallinger briefly addressed the senate at the opening of the session in favor of a plan presented by the Daughters of the Revolution that a copy of the Declaration of Independence bs conspicuously displayed in every post office. The deficiency appropriation bill was reported by Mr. Cockrell, leaving only one bill the naval remaining be fore the appropriation committee. Consideration of the sundry civil bill was then resumed. Mr. Pettigrew of fered an amendment appropriating $300,000 for seed for the drouth sufferers of the northwest. After a short debate the amoudment was agreed to 33 to 17. Mr. Stewart moved to reconsider tbe amendment already adopted for the par ticipation by the United States in the national monetary conference. He said France was the only European country in a position to take part in such a con ference with any prospect of fairness to silver. He, therefore, would propose an amendment to the proposition, instruct ing the United States delegates not to agree to any ratio below 10 to 1. Mr. Wolcott (Colo.) said he greatly re gretted this division of opinion among senators from tho silver states, who had so long stood together. Tho senator from Nevada (Stewart) declared this was a scheme of the goldbugs. Was ho forgetting the gallant fight of the friends of silver the world over which has just culminated in success in the British par liament and tho German reichstag in favor of an international conference. France, too, was taking the initiative. Success was almost at hand. It was tho work of the friends of silver throughout the world. Were the friends of silver to pause at such a moment of success? As Mr. Wolcott closed his vigorous speech there was a burst of applause from tho galleries, which the vice presi dent checked by rapping the gavel and giving a sharp admonition. Mr. Stewart again took the floor, de nouncing the proposed conference as a "trade with our oppressors." What ever others might do, he would never consent to such a scheme. The Stewart amendment to reconsider was defeated yeas, 9; nays, 52. In the House. Washington', Feb. 28. There was a large attendance on the floor when the house met today. The speaker laid be fore the house the president's veto of the bill to pension Catherine Ott, and it was referred to the committee on pensions. The 54 bills passed by tho senate Tues day night were laid before the house and disposed of. Tho senate amend ment to the bill to prohibit the wear ing of the sign of the red cross with out permission from the Red Cross so ciety was agreed to. A motion introduced by Mr. Hitt to concur in the Hawaiian cable amend ment to the diplomatic bill was lost. llou,e nod Sundry Civil Itlll. Washington, Feb. 28. Much dissatis faction is expressed by members of the ap propriation committee of the house over the amendments which are being added to the sundry civil bill by the senate. In particular this is manifested against the sugar bounty provisions, on which the houe has already voted, and always signified its opposition to the bounty. That it will do so again is not doubted by the Democrats, and there may bo a serious difference between the two houses over the question. Another matter that troubles the house is tho number of public buildings for which appropriations have- been added to tho suudrv civil bill. FIGHT WITH TIt.VIX KOBIJERS. IIithe Gang and Indian Territory Olflcera Do Some .Shooting. Checotah, I. T., Feb. 2S. Detective Farmer. Deputies Williams and Brit tain of Ft.

A hot fight ensued in which Naked Head, a Cherokee officer, was killed instantly. Ben Hughe-; was captured after being shot through the arm. Southard, whose name is supposed to be Silvers, escaped. Sam Baker was also arrested at his home near by, but will probably prove an alibi. Hughes was once sentenced 90 years for robbing a train at the same place several years ago, but after a new trial was acquitted. Detective Fanner has followed Hughes and his gong for four mouth. Naked Head, who was an Indian police and deputy marshal, vas fearless, his bravery having cosJ lim his life. ?lioiH Legislature. Jefferson City, Feb 28.

HOW AN AX IS MADE. the Numerous Processes It Undergoes la tlio Course of Manufacture. On entering the main workshop the first step in the operation which is seen is the formation of the ax head without the blade. The glowing flat iron bars are withdrawn from the furnace and are taken to a powerful and somewhat com plicated machine, which performs upon them four distinct operations, shaping the metal to form the upper and lower part of tho ax, then the eye, and finally doubling the piece over so that the whole can be welded together. Next tho iron is put in a powerful natural gas furnace and heated to a white heat. Taken out, it goes under a tilt hammer and is weld ed in a second. This done, one blow from the "drop," and the poll of the ax is completed and firmly welded. Two crews of men are doing this class of work, and each crew can make 1,500 axes per day. When tho ax leaves the drop, there is some superfluous metal still adhering tc the edges and forming what is technic ally known as a 'fin." To get rid of the fin the ax is again heated in a fur nace and then taken in hand by a saw yer, who trims tho ends and edges. The operator has a glass in front of him to protect his eyes from tho sparks which fly off by the hundreds as the hot metal is pressed against the rapidly revolving saw. Tlio iron part of the ax is now complete. Tho Bteel for the blade, after being heated, is cut by machinery and shaped. It is then ready for the welding department. A groove is cut into the edge of the iron, the steel of tho blade inserted, and the wholo firmly welded by machine hammers, Next comes the operation of temper ing. The steel portion of the ax is heat ed by being inserted in pots of molten lead, the blade only being immersed. It is then cooled by dipping in water and goes to the hands of the inspector. An ax is subject to rigid tests before it is pro nounced perfect. The steel must be of the required temper, tho weight of all axes of the sauio size must bo uniform, all must be ground alike and in various other ways conform to an established standard. The inspector who tests the quality of the steel does so by hammering the blade and striking tho edge to ascer tain whether it be too brittle or not. An ax that breaks during the tests is thrown aside to be made over. Before the material of the ax is in the proper shape it has been heated five times, including tho tempering process, and the ax, when completed, has passed through the hands of about -10 workmen, each of whom has done something toward perfecting it. After passing in spection, the axes go to the grinding de partment, and from that to the polish ers, who finish them upon emery wheels. Philadelphia Record. The Way to Get Old. To the banale and eternal question, "How are you'r" the wise old man allows himself but one answer, "I am very well." He knows perfectly well that his innocent deception, if deception it be, deceives no one. Perhaps it is well that he does not realize, for of self conscious ness we have enough and to spare, that the remembrance of his fortitude, pigeon holed and forgotten perhaps for long years in the mind of the listener, may come forth one day to hearten that same listener along the cruel way when it shall be his turn to tread it. For so are accounts carried forward and not always to the wrong side of the page, and if it is true thdtthe sins of the parents are visited on the children it is equally true that the luster of their vir tues shines on long after the darkness has covered them. Is he of those who desire pity for their falling power? The surest way of getting it is to keep si lence. Almost as important and almost as much neglected is the care for personal appearance. After 60 vanity of the per son should be carefully cultivated. After 60 coxcombry in a man and coquet- in a woman become cardinal points. Can it be said that the old as a rule so con sider them? Contemporary Review, The Acacfemy calls attention to what is believed to be a personal relic of Martin Luther. In the possession of the late Lord Zouclie there was an old book, and within its leaves he found a folded paper. The paper had a large spot on it and was somewhat eaten by worms. Lord Zouche catalogued the paper as having been printed some time in 1530. Examined recently it was discovered tliat the folded paper was what might be called today a poster, and there is fair evidence that it has been used by Luther for a special purpose. It was the re former's habit to -travel over the country challenging disputants. The paper is'printed in Gothic type and consists' of two leaves which have been pasted together so as to form one strip. The translation from the German reads: "Dr. Mar tin Luther, preacher of the holy Church of Wittenberg, will main tain the following theses against the whole schooIof Satan and all gates of hell (wider de ganze Satansschule und alle Piorten der Holle)." It must have been Luth er's habit to affix this challenge, by means of a wire, to a church door. It might have been that the poster, having served once or more, was preserved by Luther for some future occasion. The grease spot is pe'cttliar. The paper may have been the wrapper of a sausage or a bit of cheese, and served to hold Luther's luncheon. It is possible that the reformer stored away the poster in an odd volume and then forgot all abouf it. It is ninety-five years last month since Parson Weems1 famous bio graphy of "Washington was pub lished. The author was not alive to enjoy the fruits of his labor, and it is doutbful if lie suspected while writing the boolr the great fond of entertainment it was destined to furnish to the youthful minds of the republic. Numerous descendants of the good parson are living, how ever and the- appreciate their legacy of fame. There are many clever people in the Weems stock. To instance only two, one is an in ventor who has-been remarkably successful with electricity and the other made a million, which he is now enjoing, in manufacturing cigars. piPERlitpSrecK, PLUG TOBACCO Flavor er,' Consumers of ckewiigtebacco who arc willing to pay a little more than the price charged for tlie ordinary trade tobaccos, will find this brand superior to all orKers- 5EWARE OF IMiTATiONd.
