Unaoie to Leave Russia
Application by letter was mado yes
terday by Rev G L Honkolmann of
McCook for a certified copy of a mar
riage certificate issued four years ago to
Mr and Mrs Goorgo Schmidt formerly
of Lincoln who are now in Russia and
trying to got out The certificate Mr
Henkelmann wants to send to a Russian
consul for hissignature and official seal
so that the officers of the Little Father
will recognize it as valid and will pormit
Mr and Mrs Schmidt to return to the
United States Mr Henkelmann says
that he married George Schmidt and
Lydia Miller July 20 1901 They lived
here for some timo and about a year ago
returned with their two small children
to Russia to live When they arrived
in Russia the authorities refused to al
low them to live together but forced Mrs
Schmidt to return at once to her native
province and ordered Mr Schmidt to go
back to his old homo This is in accord
ance with a regulation preventing a Rus
sian from living outside his native place
without a special permit which neither
of them had Now the unhappy couple
wants to come back to the United States
but the authorities refuse to allow them
to They refuse to take the marriage
certificate as evidence of their marriage
and will not issue a passport for Mrs
Schmidt It was for this reason that
they wrote totheir former pastor and he
communicated with the county clerks

Why Not one at McCook
Fort Morgan Colo Nov 25 A mil
lion and a half beet sugar factory at
Fort Morgan is an assured fact The
proposition was clinched yesterday when
representatives of the Great Western
Sugar company closed deals for a mam
moth factory site and 760 acres of land
under the new Bijou ditch The total
consideration was approximately 8100
000 The site purchased is located a
mile and a half northwest of Fort Mor
gan and comprises one half of the Ross
ranch one half of the Anthony ranch
all of the Rathbone ranch and the west
half of the Baird place The 760 acres
secured by the company is located west
of town It is believed the company in
tends to divide this ground up into
small sections and start a beet growers
colony or else grow beets on its own ac
count to augment those contracted for
from the farmers It is understood the
Great Western company will bein the
construction of the proposed new factory
in plenty of time to insure its completion
by the fall of 1906 The factory will
cost in the neighborhood of 1500000
and have a daily capacity of 600 tons Tt
will employ several hundred men and
women The news that the Great West
ern company had actually purchared a
factory site and a great tract of land for
beet growing purposes was received by
the people of Fort Morgan with the
greatest of pleasure for it means a big
boom for this town and Morgan county

aiazepim and the Coxaack8
The word cossack means robber and
the name jossacks was given by tho
Turks to a race in manners appear
ance and language like the Russians
but who are said not to be really akin
to them The Cossacks of Little Rus
sia and the Don Cossacks are said to
be the most unscrupulous robbers in
the world They excel in horsemanship
and form a large part of the Russian
imperial cavalry Styled sometimes
the spies of the czar they keep tho
nihilists in greater check than any
other power and number many more
than a million men Mazeppa a Dou

when condemned to be bound upon a
wild horse and borne away to his fate

Violet For Mourning1
It was not by accident that violet
was chosen by many nations as the ex
clusive color for mourning and by us
also for half mourning Painters suf
fering from hysteria and neurasthenia
will be inclined to cover their pictures
uniformly with the color most Jn ac
cordance with their condition of lassi
tude and exhaustion Thus originato
the violet pictures of Manet and hs
school which spring from no actually
observable aspect of nature but from
a subjective view due to conditions of
the nerves When the entire surface
of walls in salons and art exhibitions
of the day appears veiled in uniform
half mourning this predilection for vio
let is simply an expression of the nerv
ous debility of the painter Nordaua

f A Brond Hint
Sir Andrew Agnew of Lucknow a
well known Scotch baronet was long
pestered by an impudent sort of per
son who insisted on being constantly
underfoot Finally however ho
dropped off and Sir Andrew was ask
ed how he got rid of him
Oh said he I gave him a broad
hint
A broad hint repeated the in
quirer I thought he was one of those
who never could be induced to take
one
By ma saul said Sir Andrew he
was obleeged to tak it For as the
chiel wadna gang oot at the door I
just threw him oot of the window
Air Pressure
At the level of the sea the pressure
of the atmosphere on the piston of an
engine is about fifteen pounds to tho
square inch but decreases at higher
altitudes As this atmospheric pres
sure must be overcome by the steam
pressure before any work can be done
It is evident that at the diminished air
pressure of high altitudes more work
can be obtained from a given pressure
of steam than at the sea level or in
other words an equally effective pres
sure of steam can be obtained with
the expenditure of less fuel The dif
ference however is not great enough
to be of any practical importance
Bounty For Scalps
During the French Indian war of
1754 the French offered a bounty for
British scalps In the same year a
bounty of 100 each was offered by the
authorities of the several colonies In
1755 Massachusetts granted a bounty
of 40 for every scalp ofi male Indian
over twelve years of age and 20 each
for the scalps of women and children
In 17G4 John Penn grandson of Wil
liam Penn and governor of Pennsyl
vania offered a bounty of 150 for
every Indian buck killed and scalped

When the shower came up the artist
who was walking through New Ilaraii
shire on a sketching tour sought shel
ter under a tree where he was soon
joined by another wayfarer a man of
middle age who looked a sort of bettor
class tramp and Indeed was one
Tho two entered Into conversation
and it came out that the wayfarer was
a harness maker by vocation but a
rover by predilection

Cold That Kill nnd Cold That Cures
Ill England severe cold generally
kills a good many people In certain
parts of North America cold still mora
severe puts new life ino them It re
quires no argumentation to show that
there must be a definite reason for this
The chief reason is that English cold
is mostly damp while in North Amer
ica It is mostly dry There is the great
est difference in the world between dry
air and damp air The former Is usu
ally air pure and simple possessing a
full quantity of oxygen and often
charged highly with ozone The latter
consists of air mixed with the vapor of
water When the former air fully
oxygenated Is breathed it stimulates
more powerfully than chamnagne Tho
latter less oxygenated and charged
with vapor of water not only doe3 not
stimulate but depresses Public Opin
ion
PnataH Wonderful Voice
Mme Pastas voice extended from
low A to D in altissimo and was one
of the most remarkable illustrations
ever furnished of the value of musical
culture in overcoming natural blem
ishes Her voice was stubborn and un
manageable but by dint of study and
Indefatigable perseverance she brought
It to a state of perfection that was tho
admiration of her contemporaries Her
delight was the bravura style of orna
ment and where the composer had not
been sufficiently liberal in bestowing
ornamentation on her part she invented
cavatinas of her own and used them
with such effect that they were gener
ally regarded as the best part of her
singing She made her first appear
ance on the stage In 1815 her last in
1850
The Meaning1 of Sympathy
It was a clever Frenchwoman who
said Those who have suffered much
are like those who know many lan
guages They have learned to under
stand and to be understood by many
It is an impossibility to fully sympa
thize with anothers experience unless
it has been at some time ones own
In trouble or grief we turn instinctive
ly to some one whom wo know has
been through the same experience It
is the old human longing for compan
ionship that shows itself The feeling
is strong within us that she will feel
and know with me Therein lies the
meaning of sympathy
The Ministers Response
A well known minister of a kirk In
Glasgow was one day passing along
tho High street when he was accosted
by a crowd of street gamins one of
whom said mischievously but with be
coming gravity Dye ken minister
the deil Is deed The minister made
no immediate response but on the
whole crew reiterating the cry The
deils deed The dells deed he
turned and raising his outstretched
hands as if to pronounce a blessing

Englands Curiosity Shops
Many of the curiosity shops planted
In the back streets of most country
towns in England are simply kept up
by large London firms who from a
prolonged study of human nature have
discovered that people who are shy of
buying old furniture or old silver In
Bond street or Piccadilly are ready
and eager purchasers of precisely the
same objects at a rather higher price
when they come upon them in the back
streets of a country town

Through Thlclt and Thin
If monarchs have often permitted
themselves th Indulgence of making
puns the act has not been recorded In
the pages of history One pun how
ever is assigned to King Frederick
William IV of Prussia
It Is said that on the occasion of a
court ball he was standing near the
middle of the dance hall in conversa
tion with an exceedingly thin ambas
sador In the haste and excitement
of a fiery galop a lieutenant of the
hussars danced with his partner be
tween the monarch and the persou
whom he was addressing and then
seeing what he had done he began to
stammer abject apologies and explana
tions
Oh that was nothing replied the
king with a hearty laugh A hussar
must go without fear through thick
and thin
A whimsical glance from his own
portly figure to that of the slender am
bassador accompanied this answer and
the hussar felt himself not only par
doned but Invited to share in the
kings laugh
Serving Fisu
Fish is dainty food Practice is need
ed in serving it Lightness of touch
and dexterity of management are nec
essary to keep the delicate flakes in
tact It requires some skill to rip
the skin and lay it back and sever tho
head and tail with neatness and dis
patch These three articles must nev
er leave the platter They belong to
the cat The choicest morsel of any
white fish Is the cheek It is not good
form to cut through a fish Begin at
the tail and throw aside the skin Be
gin at the head to serve cutting to the
backbone When the meat on that side
is helped turn the fish and help the
other side in the same way If there is
roe a part should be served each per
son Boiling is the nicest way to cook
and the easiest way to serve fish
Dress the edge of the platter with hard
egg and sliced lemon tomato and beets
An Ivory Mat
Many people have never even heard
of such a thing nnd it Is not to be
wondered at for theso mats are ex
ceedingly rare and it is said by those
who know that only three of these
beautiful curiosities exist in the whole
world The one we now write about is
the largest one made It measures S
by 4 feet and though made in a small
hill state in the north of India has an
almost Greek design for its border
was only used on state occasions when
the rajah sat on it to sign Important
documents The orgnal cost of the mat
Is fabulous for G400 pounds of ivory
were used in its manufacture The fin
est strips of ivory must have been tak
en off the tusks as the mat is as flex
ible as a woven stuff and beautifully
fine London Graphic
Sea Water nnd Colds
The delusion that sea water does not
give cold is accountable for much harm
A chill may be caught by wetting from
sea water as quickly as by wetting
from any other water There Is a
certain stimulation to the skin from
salt no doubt but that does not pre
vent chills from indiscriminate ex
posure to wetting by salt water and
chills are fertile causes of illness Chill
to the lower part of the body is always
dangerous to any one It Is much more
so to a child than to a grown person
though many people seem to think the
reverse is the case

Mother Livescy Well
In the grounds of Llvesoy Hall near
Blackburn there is a spring called
Mother Liveseys well The curious
thing about this well Is that the water
only flows during nine months of the
