Edward Rosewater, proprietor and
editor of the Omaha Bee. was found
dead in the district court room of
the Bee building last Friday morn
ing.
Paul O. Stensland, the Chicago
banker wanted for wrecking the Mil
waukee Avenue State bank of that
city, was arrested Monday in the city
of Tangier, Morocco, by United States
Attorney Olson of Chicago, who pur
sued Stensland through England and
Spain, and was put on the track of
the bank wrecker by a woman who
bad been treated coldly by Stensland.
A Letter From Shoshone.
Worland, Wyo., Aug. lHth, 190<i.,
Editor North western: Tlie “Call
of the Wild” always takes possession
in the vacation month of J uly, and as
life is only valuable for what we get
out of it, we packed a suit-case,
strapped on kodak and field-glass and
boarded the train for the Shoshone
country by way of Worland, the pres
ent terminus of the Burlington route,
to broaden our experience and in
cidentally to say we registered for
some of Unde Sam’js acres at almost
the last historic reservation.
It was reported tlje mob was even
worse than at Bonesteel, S. I)., con
sequently we had our nerve with us
at the start, but a woman's will over
comes every difficulty. The unpleas
ant features of a trip of this charact
er did not materialize and here we
are, an interested spectator of the
most unique cosmopolitan aggregation
of humanity it lias ever lieen our good
fortune to see.
For four days we have listened to
the comments, kodaked striking situ
ations and picturesque groups and
types, as well as points of interest
round about, until we wonder if we
are not kodak crazy.
Sunday was the gala day and among
the train specials was one f rom Cody
bringing tlje famous WjloJ West Band,
uniformed by Buffalo Bill, with ex
hibitions of broncho-riding by the
cow-boys, and frontier attractions ga
lore. Rut with it all the town was
comparatively orderly owing no doubt,
to the presence of the U. S. marshals
and their corpsof deputies.
By the way. the members of the
Registration Board from Washington
and including every U. S. official de
tailed here to preserve order during
the land excitement, through the
kindness of >Ip.jQr Mhepman, Chief
Registrar, posed for one of my kodak
groups, which was more than any
newspaper representative secured for
his city paper. «a
Worland is located on the banks of
the Big Horn river in Big Horn coun
ty, said county being 57 by 150 miles,
larger than the state of New Jersey.
There are great possibilities to my
notion in this valley, and as the rail
road preceded instead of followed the
rush, it will be settled with more ex
pedition than other new sections, for
this is tjie l;ist qf {.ju; pfimipive West.
Of course the opening Qf tile reser
vation bringing masses of people from
here, there and everywhere into Wyo
ming, and as Is always the case the
majority came, viewed the country
over superficially, knocked it igno
rantly and then carried their foolish
ness back from whence they came.
So the state is in luck after all. It
reminds us of the land buyer who
comes to Sherman county from a level
section and declares it no good, be
cause the land was more rolling than
the would-be purchaser was familiar
with in his part of the country.
4 fopty-mile stage ride to Tlier
mopolia. where the lint springs are
located, just within the Reservation
limits near the Copper Mountain
mining district was an experience. I
note the expert assaver, Freeman,
gives as his opinion that in time the
copper deposits will equal the Butte,
Montana, finds when properly worked,
but the claims alloted by registration
are agricultural, not mining lands.
The climate here is simply fine and
the air good enough to eat.
The largest ranch m Wyoming, the
Embar Ranche, is near this point
and is owned by Col. Torry, the noted
POlqnsJ qf the Rough Riders. I found
him an interesting character and a
very distinguished looking man, He
looks every inch a soldier, as Roose
velt declared, he was "after one's own
heart." And now again my kodak
snapped and one of the men that
scaled the heights of San Jaun will
grace my kodak album.
Perhaps none of this may interest
you and as my appetite is something
prodigious, and my chief thought the
last few days, everything is dropped
when the dinner call is given.
' The registration period for the
opening of the Shoshone Reservation
began at Worland J uly lfith and dosed
at 6 p. m. on the 31st, with a total
registration from all four points of
10,583, and is now a matter of history.
Goodbye,
Reid.

Motor Service to Loup City.
The St. Paul Republican says:
•‘Several months ago the Republican
stated that a change would be made
in the train service on the Loup City
branch whereby a gasoline motor
would take care of the passenger
business, the freighterew being trans
ferred from Loup City to St. Paul.
It took the railroad peeple a long
time to make good on this prediction
but we are now informed upon re
liable authority that two motor cars
are almost completed in the Grand
Island shops for this purpose and will
be placed in commission about the
loth of September. T. A. Taylor,
for many years conductor between
St. Paul and Loup City, but who was
recently transferred to the Callaway
branch, will be returned to this run.
Two cars are furnished for the reason
that the mechanism is not entirely
perfect as yet and frequent repairs
are anticipated.”

School Savings Banks.
The school savings bank system
which has been put in operation in
many places in New York State is
now declared to be a violation of the
banking act. The system was started
by J. W. Thiry, who brought the idea
from Europe. The plan is to induce
children to save their pennies and
bring them to their teacher, who!
places them in a bank. As the plan ia
generally beneficial to‘ the yqupg, it is
probably that laws will be amended to
admit of its hfmtinuance.
