Sixth Street Viaduct Soon
The company is now making advance
arrangements for the viaduct to be
built over the tracks at the foot of Gth
street east The indications now are
that work will be commenced the latter
part of this month
It is understood that the viaduct will
cover space enough for fifteen tracks
or ten more than are now laid over that
street
This will be exceptionally good news
for the people of South McCook and for
those who have to come into town from
that direction
Doubtless arrangements will be made
for the accommodation of foot men as
well as for vehicles in this viaduct and
it is to be hoped that sidewalk facilities
connecting with South McCook will
follow
Sidewalks electric lights and water
facilities will prove a great blessing to
the people of that part of the city who
are now utterly devoid of such modern
improvements which they are seeking
to secure
The viaduct will put them in liae to
realize the dream of years
Conductor T E McCarl had General
Supt Perrys bridge special from Mc
Cook to Denver Monday and Tuesday
Conductor Ryan had it from Hastings
to McCook via Red Cloud and the
branches Saturday and Sunday
Supt E E Young of Sheridan pass
ed through McCook Tuesday morning
with the remains of his wife who died
in Denver Monday The body was
taken to Red Oak Iowa for burial
Mrs Young had not been well for some
time and succumbed after an operation
for her relief Supt Young has the
tender sympathy of the Burlington em
ployees in all departments in this city

JARRED THE SULTAN
Advice General Wallace Is Said to
Have Given Abdul Hamid II
When General Lew Wallace was the
American plenipotentiary In Constan
tinople he saw Abdul Humid 11 at
close quarters too close for comfort
really but his involuntary Inspection
was decidedly convincing as to the
sultans timidity
It seems that from the day of his
presentation to the sultan the general
had grown In favor ut the court and
was frequently commanded to attend
merely from the personal liking of
Abdul Damid for the American minis
ter and the enjoyment of conversation
with him in those days the sultan
was particularly vexed over affairs In
Egypt He felt that Egypt was his
personal property yet England hud
takeu the control of the country out
of his hands entirely She had hardly
said by your leave hut had ad
vised him that for the good ot Egvptq
he Abdul Damid II had better let
her and then had goue ahead
He had accepted the advice because
he had nothing to say uo with
Without a Meet what could any one
say to England This forced acquies
cence worried the sultau continuously
until he could not endure longer with
out madness In his distress he sum
moned General Wallace and described
to him in detail his humiliating condi
tion
The general listened with friendly
sympathy and the sultan being re
lieved in thus talking In confidence to
a mau whom he knew to be sincere
and altogether free from sellish Inter
ests asked the minister what he could
do under the circumstances General
Wallace said that he appreciated the
trust and confidence of the sultan but
that being the representative official
ly of the United States of America tie
could not advise the ruler of another
country as to what steps that ruler
should rake against a third power es
pecially when this third power was on
friendly terms with his own country
The sultan acknowledged the cor
rectness of this position but besought
the general to make an exception say
ing that there was no other man m
the empire to whom he could go for
one single word of honest disinterest
ed advice Hut the general repeated
that he could not he false to his duty
as a minister and envoy from his gov
ernment
Then said the sultan Tell me as a
private individual tell me as a friend
This appeal touched General Wallace
deeply and he said As a friend then
and a private citizen I will say this
that were I in the position you have
described to me I should put myself
at the head of my troops and tight to
the bitter end
At these words the blood left the
sultans face and he fell to the floor
in a dead faint He felt their truth
and he knew furthermore that he
lacked the strength of character the
force the will power to carry out such
a program
What would have happened had the
sultans heart been physically weak as
well is not easy to conjecture As it
was General Wallace did not leave
the Yildiz kiosk until long after the
hour he had intended and Abdul Ha
mid II never again sought a coubdeu
tial interview with the author of Ben
nur New York Press

IN A COPPER CAMP
Its Divisions Known as Drill Town
and Slag Town
A copper camp has Its own charac
teristics peculiar and apart It has
two distinct Hisses of workmen
the skilled miners who work under
ground and the smelter uien who
range from experience and sclentltie
training to unskilled day laborers
More often than not they form sep
arate camps within the camp Drill
Town ns the slag pushers call the
quarter given over to the men who
hit the drill and Slag Town or
Uttle Ilades for the smelter men
The smelter Is the heart of the camp
In the community there Is every va
riety of camp architecture from the
tent pure aud simple and the half
breed house which Is a tent floored
and boarded up along the sides to the
turn of the roof and fitted with a Riire
enough door that will lock to the
hotel like a huge packing box with
rows and rows of little narrow win
dows set along the sides like polka
dots on a shirt waist and a Hat roof
that does not reach an inch beyond the
sides the whole painted a faded green
and jaundiced over with the red dust
A great copper camp grows slowly
When there Is a town above ground
there Is something like it below tun
nels stations stopes workings reach
ing out like streets and alleys to fol
low the vagaries of the lend There is
no gutting of a rich ledge and going
on no careless search for pockets to
be robbed and left
With scientific skill and mathemat
ical precision each yard of work is
driven to open up the best road to ore
still beyond and to leave a safe and
convenient way by which It may reach
the surface Nature has rooted her
wealth of copper deep In the earth
and no haphazard methods will release
it profitably It would amuse or be
wilder an old time gold miner to see
the care and economy practiced in
modern copper mining the small sav
ings the constant search for better
methods of handling the struggle to
eliminate waste and utilize all the by
products Out West-

all over the map and the agents are
like so many train dispatchers on land
reporting the movements of every
piece of rolling stock under the reign

engaged on shore in the business of
sailing ships is twice bb great as the

Dowries In India
The custom of extorting dowries has
grown into the very fabric of the so
cial life and is a standing disgrace to
the Bengali community which has uc
justification to plead or apology to of
fer The practice has now assumed
alarming proportions of parents of
boys extorting costly dowries as a con
dition of marrying their sons The
marriage of a daughter among Ben
galis has become an expensive affair
and the amount in cash demanded by
the father or guardian of the boy
and paid by the father or guardian ol
the bride varies with the educational
attainments of the bridegroom Indian
