THE WOBKGOES SLOW
Admiral Bowles Calls Attention to Lack
of Progress in Construction,
DFL4Y CAUSED BY STEEL STRIKE
No Fireproof Wood Found Kntlrely Sat
1# factory to the Itureau—More Naval
Construction Wanted — Naval Yards
Limited l>y Wry Docks.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—The an
nual report of Admiral Bowles, chief
of the bureau of construction and re
pairs, calls attention to the slow
progress in the construction of the
ships made in the last year, owing to
strikes and delays of delivery of
armor and steel forgings. He points
out that under the present system for
the purchase of armour the responsi
slbllity for delays emanating from
this sources rests with the government
and renders It liable to suits for dam
age by the ship contractors. The con
struction bureau, he says, has made
considerable progress toward the
standardization of ship fittings, which,
he says, will reduce the original cost
of ships of the navy and decrease the
expense of their maintenance. He
touches upon the tests of fireproofed
wood conducted by his bureau and
says that while the products of the
two processes submitted both possess
desirable qualities, neither wholly
commends tlself In adoption by the
navy.
Admiral Bowles strongly recom
mends that the floating dry dock at
Havana, recently purchased from the
Spanish government, be sent to the
site of the new naval station at Olon
gapo, Philippine islands, as soon as
the repairs on it are completed, dt Is
essential, he says, for the efficiency of
the navy on the Asiatic station, both
from a strategical and economical
point, that the government should be
In possession of a dry dock in the
Philippines -at the earliest possible
moment. He says the dock just pur
chased can be placed in condition for
use of vessels up to 10,000 tons dis
placement within the limit of the
sum apprqprlated by congress .for -Its
acquirement.
Admiral HowleB earnestly recom
mends an increase in the number of
naval constructors, which is now lim
ited by law to forty. This number,
he says, is entirely inadequate to the
present needs of the service and he
urges .that the limit of the corps be
increased .by congress to sixty. He
says the efficiency of the navy yards
throughout the country is largely lim
ited by the lack of dry docks and mod
ern buildings for the equipment of the
yards. The navy yards, however,
eontinae ;to, present a fruitful field for
the application of modern engineer
ing to their mechanical equipment
as well as modern methods of organ
ization to the scheme of administra
tion, which, if properly applied, should
result doi greater efficiency in the'con
duct of the .work and greater econ
omy isi ithe.expense, which is now.out
of proportion to the work done.
Admiral .Bowles says the construc
tion bureau has been taxed to its ut
most by the work of designing new
vessels .land supervising vessels now
building, .and that these conditions
have been aggravated by a lack of
•such navy department buildings avail
able for ithe technical and clerical
staffs of the bureau. He reports a
lack of draftsmen of the requisite
qualifications .and expresses a desire
to obtain liar ithe bureau more grad
uates of technical schools.
Fire Oentumlni Hay FleWI4.
BA CROSSE. Wis.. Oct. 21.—'Bute
this afternoon tfire was discovered .in
the hay fields .which surround this
city. The flames are now burning ev
erything before them and the firemen
are powerless owing to the fire being
outside the city limits and beyond
water service. It its believed the lire
was started by tramps. Upon these
lands are stacked thousands of tons
of hay. Although the loss cannot be
estimated at present it is thought it :
will be enormous.

TREE PLANTING IN NEBRASKA
W. L. Hall of Washington Cites Some
Suggestion* od the Subject.
OMAHA, Oct. 21.—William L. Hall,
assistant superintendent of tree plant
ing, division of forestry, has made ex
tensive investigation in Nebraska rel
ative to tree planting. He says there
is no question but what the soil and
climate are favorable for a certain
amount of forest planting. To what
extent, however, is in a measure a
matter of experiment. He has in
course of preparation a report to the
department, making special recom
mendations both as to extent of plant
ing and methods. He also says there
can be no system applicable for the
prairie district for general operations.
While there is a great interest man
ifested in forestry, yet there appears
to be a very meager acquaintance
with the subject of tree planting on
an extended scale, Mr. Hall says.
Many trees have been planted more as
a “wind brean” than for timber cul
ture.
Mr. Hall found a number of catalpa
plantations which have shown a
thrifty growth, but show a lack of
maximum growth, owing to lack of
management or attention. The c.a
talpa is an especial favorite with Mr.
Hall. He believes that it does best
on Nebraska soil, which is porous. Us
durability has been overestimated by
some, but its value for various pur
poses has been fully appreciated by
the general public.
It is a rapid grower, of good form,
lightness and possesses great strength
and elasticity. It requires from eight
to twelve years to mature sufficiently
for use.
In speaking of the species and sec
tions for profitable tree planting, Mr.
Hall said that the catalpa and red
cedar grow readily along the Platte
river; the Russian mulberry in Cen
tral Nebraska, the black walnut in
the eastern part of the state, while
the bur oak thrives best in the valleys
of the Niobrara and Missouri rivers;
the green and white ash does well in
Northern Nebraska. There are many
other trees valuable for planting, such
as the elm, poplar, maple and willow,
hut In a system of forest operations
Instituted solely for profit and carried
on under competition, such trees are
not to fee considered.
WATER RIGHTS ON PLATTE
8t»t« Board of Irrigation Hoars Argu
ment In Gothenburg Case.
LINCOLN, Oct. 21.—The state board
of irrigation and Engineer Dobson lis
tened to testimony and argument in
the case of the Farmers’ and Mer
c’ ants’ Irrigation company. The
Gothenburg company asserts that it
has a prior right to water in the
Platte river and was sustained in this
position a year ago by Engineer Wil
son. It owns and operates one long
canal, of which one-half was con
struced after the original water right
was taken out. The water right grant
ed by the board authorized the Goth
enburg company to appropriate 200
cubic feet of water per second and it
is now claimed that there is no law
to prevent the company from turning
the water so appropriated into the
new section of the canal. The board
took the case under advisement and
will render a decision within the next
few days.
The Farmers' and Merchants' irriga
tion works and property are valued
at not less than $176,000, while the
works and property of the other
company are said to be worth approx
imately $300,000. The former is cap
italized for $3,000,000.

train to pass through the big hole in

the president and other high officials
of the Union Pacific were passengers.
STATE’S DIVORCE LAWS.
Ez.*S°oator Allen Gives His Opinion Re
garding the Same.
LINCOLN, Oct. 19.—Senator Wil
liamliam V. Allen has replied as fol
lows to the request of Labor Com
missioner Watson for an opinion re
garding the divorce laws of the state.
T am inclined to believe that our
statutes on the subject of divorce,
while crude and expressed in inartistic
language, doing no credit to the lit
erary ability of their authors, are suf
ficient, and outline a proper policy
in divorce cases, and will, if conscien
tiously enforced by the courts, accom
plish desirable results.
. "The purpose of a divorce is the
destruction of the family sense. It
is true that in many cases it is to the
interest of the parties, the children
and the public that the family rela
tion (which should be the most sacred
relation in the world) should be ut
terly uprooted and destroyed, and that
its destruction is more productive of
the true interests and real happiness
of all concerned than would be a
forced continuance of a relation which
must be merely nominal.
“Much, very much, indeed, depends
on education; in fact the question is
more one of education than legisla
tion. Legislation can regulate mar
riages, it can grant or refuse divorces,
but the refusal to grant a divorce for
any cause in the present state of
society would doubtless lead to wide
spread immorality and to greater and
public injury than our present divorce
laws, imperfect as they can be, can
produce. While marriage under civil
institutions of this country is and
ever must remain a civil contract,
marriage is Justly regarded by the
churches and by Christian people as
a holy ordinance. If the churches
shall take hold of the subject in
earnest they can doubtless regulate
the relation in such a way as to pro
duce the least amount of friction and
thus minimize divorces. If they do
not the whole question must be left
to the slow but certain law of evolu
tion. I would say upon the whole
that I do not know of any improve
ment which can be made in our di
vorce laws at the present time, aside
from those that are merely verbal.”
AMENDMENT TO PENSION LAWS.
CongrM.mun Hork.tt Will Introduce It
In the Next Congress.
LINCOLN, Oct. 19—Congressman
Burkett has prepared an amendment
to the pension laws, which he will in
troduce at the opening of the next
session of congress. By it the differ
ent ratings on account of disabilities
under the new law or the law of 1890
will be abolished. The effect of Mr.
Burkett’s amendment will be to make
a minimum rating of |12. The law
of 1890, commonly called the new law,
pensions a soldier who is unable to
perform manual labor, in accordance
with the degree of his disabilities
and in proportion thereto, from $6 to
812 a month. This degree of disabil
ity is determined by a rating board,
located at Washington, who make up
their decision from the evidence sent
in and the ratings thus made are not
always satisfactory to the soldiers.
Mr. Burkett takes the position that
the war is now removed almost forty
years and that after the experiences
the men went through it must be
presumed that few of them are able
to perform manual labor and he
thinks the time has come when it is
no longer necessary to have an inves
tigating committee to cipher out just
the degree of their disability.
Crashed by Falling: Roof.
BEATRICE. Neb., Oct. 19.—Frank
Koltenbach, a young man 29 years of
age, was killed while repairing an old
cave on the Graff farm three miles
west of here. Koltenbach had been
employed on the farm of Mrs. Graff
for the last twelve years. He went
into the cave to clean up and make
some repairs. He accidentally knock
ed down one of the heavy timbers
which suported the four-foot roof of
soil and the roof fell, smothering him.
BcttlN Dig Damage Salt*
DES MOINES, Oct. 19.—An impor
tant damage suit against the North
western railroad, which was before
the supreme court at the last term,
has been settled, rather than a second
trial be had. This was the suit of
J. J. Mosnat, administrator of the
estate of Engineer Shaffer, who was
killed in the yards at Eagle Grove. |
The first trial resulted in a verdict .
for $10,000 against the company, but
it was reversed on appeal because of
technical errors.
Professors Talk to Farmers.
SIDNEY, Neb., Oct 19.—The eou^t
house was packed with farmers and
stockmen, who listened to addresses
delivered by Dr. Peters and Prof.
Smith of the experiment station at
the state university. They discussed
the diseases of animals and the sim
plest manner of curing them, stock
feeding and classes of food that were
best adapted to the conditions here.
Many questions were asked and thor- j
oughly discussed.
Mrs. How's Eads Memorial.
Mrs. Eliza A. How, widow of James ■*'
F. How, late president of the Wabash f
Railroad company, has given $100,00i>
to Washington university, St. Louis, to
be used for the erection of a memorial
to her father. Captain James B. Eads,
who built the Eads bridge across the
Mississippi river at St. Louis, and jet
ties below New Orleans. The gift has
been accepted by the board of trustees
of the university, w*ho will confer with
Mrs. How as to the character of me
morial which shall be constructed.
His Patriotic Cornice.
A patriotic citizen of Philadelphia
has recently manifested his loyalty u>
the flag by painting the cornice of his
house red, white and blue. In a row of
houses in which the prevailing colors
are yellow or dark brown, the effect
is quite striking, and nearly every
passerby bestows a surprised glance
on the odly painted dwelling. The
owner of the house is a veteran of the
civil war, and, possessing no flag, he
decided to paint the cornice of his
home in this way as a mark of pa
triotism.
Half of the misery in the world
comes of want of courage to speak
and to hear the truth plainly, and in
a spirit of love.
Mrs. Dyer's Heart. A
McCarron, Mich., Oct. 21.—In April ^
last the sensational case of Mrs.
Samuel G. Dyer of this place was re
ported in these columns. Mrs. Dyer
has suffered for years with a very
bad case of Heart Trouble and was
cured in a few weeks by Dodd’s Kid
ney Pills.
Since then Mrs. Dyer has received
hundreds of inquiries as to her con
dition and many may be interested to
hear that she is at present enjoying
the best of health and has not had the
slightest return of the Heart Trouble.
Formerly she had to sit up in bed
for hours to get relief; now she goes
about as smartly aB any lady of 62
years in the State. Dodd’s Kidney
Pills have made many friends in Chip
pewa County through their cure of
Mrs. Dyer’s case, and have proven be
yond doubt that their cures are not
only very complete, but absolute and
j permanent.
Dewey Wasn't a Prisoner'
It has bten said that Admiral Dewey
was made prisoner during the civil
war at the time the gunboat Mississ
ippi was destroyed by the Confeder
ates. The admiral says that is not
1 true. “I was not captured,” said he,
when asked aoout the matter, ‘‘when
the Mississippi was run aground and
burned. About 150 of our men were
captured, but the captain and I man
aged to pull away In a boat down the am
river and escaped capture. I have seen '
the statement made several times late
ly and am glad to say that it is en
tirely incorrect. 1 have never been a
captive.”

A Church Marriage Bureau.
The Rev. J. F. X. Coleman, pastor
of St. John’s Catholic church, at Fred
erick, Md., announced to his congre
gation one Sunday night that he was
going to inaugurate a matrimonial bu

said Father Coleman, “a congregation
like ours, with over 1,100 members, an<i
you seldom hear of a marriage. There
certainly is something wrong, and this
is what I am going to endeavor to rec
tify. There Is no reason for this state
of affairs, as there is plenty of mar
riageble material right here, and even
much past that age, and I am going to
endeavor to utilize it to advantage or
