The recent treaties entered Into by China and Japan as to the operation of coal \ mines along the South Manchurlan ; railway and the Antung-Mukden rail way do not create monopolies , and I hence are not violations of the "open i door" or the "equal opportunities" principles , to the observance of which i nil of the leading powers are pledged. This Is the conclusion reached by the s state department after a long and careful - ful investigation of the questions In volved. The department issued the following official statement : "In view of the widespread publici ty of the statement that the recent Chinese-Japanese agreement relating to Manchuria created for Chinese and Japanese subjects a monopoly to carry on mining operations along the South Manchurian railway and Antung-Muk : den railway , which would exclude Americans from an extensive Held of Industrial enterprise , inquiry has been made of the two signatory powers and official assurance has been received from each to the effect that no such exclusive claim to mining rights was Intended by the agreement ; and that ' , If minerals are found by Americans and others within the designated ter ritories , no objection will be made to their working mines under conces j. sions granted by China the whole . scope and purpose of the agreement being that any operation by Chinese and Japanese subjects of the mines within the territory mentioned should bo joint as between themselves. " Secretary Knox has reached a con clusion commended in diplomatic cir cles as fair and statesmanlike , and as of great importance In view of the "explosive" possibilities of the situa tion. tion.Whether Whether tnero are otnor provisions of the treaties which the state de partment is considering , possibly ini 1- mical to American Interests , the de partment Is non-committal. Dut from the fact that the provision as to the operation of the mines was re garded as possibly containing the best grounds for complaint , It seems ren- sonablo to believe that othei features > of the treaties will not for the present at be brought In question. Says It' * Fake Townslte Plot. That the Northwestern railroad has not ( Hod any notice with the secretary of state of South Dakota of a pro posed plan to extend Its line from Dallas , and that the report sent out from I'lorro recently published In ihU paper as well as those of Omaha and Sioux City , was n fake schema whoso motive wns the boosting of some town- , silo enterprise , Is the declaration of W. H. I'lne , n Honestool real estate limn , who passed through Norfolk yes- tnrday and who had n letter from the assistant secretary of state of South Dakota to provo his assertion. Mr. Pine wrote to the state secre tary to ask about the published report and to ask about the "law" compell ing railroads In Dakota to fllo an nouncement In ndvnnco of building. Ho Is Informed from the secretary of state's otllco that there Is no such law In South Dakota. Following Is the letter ho received : ' State of South Dakota , Department of State , Pierre , S. D. , Nov. 17. W. H. Pine , Iloncsteol , 3. D. , Dear Sir ; Replying to yours of the 13 lust. , will say there Is no such law In this state as referred to In your letter , namely requiring railroads to file papers six months In ndvnnco of building of any railroad contemplated to bo built. Very respectfully , R A. Platts , Assistant Secretary. Golden Wedding at Lindsay. Lindsay , Neb. , Nov. 24. Special to The News : Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Hlttner , living about sevent miles east of here , celebrated their golden wed ding yesterday , first attending n solemn - emn high mass at the Catholic church in Cornlea , Father Madam saying the mass. A reception wns held at their homo , relatives and n few Invited guests wishing the aged couple many more anniversaries. Mr. and Mrs. HHtnor were married In Austria fifty years ago. In 1877 they came to Amerlcn buying a piece of railroad land near Cornlea ; Columbus , nbout thirty miles awny , was their closest railroad stntlon. They have lived on the same farm ever since , going through all the hardships to prosperity when now their land Is worth $125 per acre. They have seven children , thirty-four i grand children , three great giandchlldron alive ; three of their children i arc dead two dying In Aus tria i and one here. The children were all i present. Theodore , Alfred , Conrad and i Louis all live In this neighbor hood ; : Fred in Greely county ; Frank In York and Mrs. John Fry in Peters burg. ] burg.Math Math Hcmmer of Cornlea and Miss Katie Korth were married at the Catholic ( church here. Lindsay has a now restaurant , mak ing three for this place. John Englcbert bought the livery stock formerly owned by A. M. Werdner. The Storz Brewing company of Omaha has commenced work on a new store house hero In Lindsay. Firemen Make It a Success. Firemen today estimate that over $275 was cleared at their fair , which was hold at the skating rink last night. This nmount is clear above expenses , and today the firemen are jubilant over the success they made of their celebra tion. Many people are richer by a ton of coal , n sack of flour , and even a town lot , which were auctioned off under the supervision of Julius Haase and William Hauptli. The lot Is lo cated at the Junction and N. A. Rain- bolt , the dondr of this property , val ues It as worth at least $50. Ben Ska- lowsky was the lucky bidder for this property , which went at $21. The raffle wheel , which was operat ed by Jess Beemer , wns nn attraction all by Itself , and many articles were quickly disposed of and the lucky num.- ber always drew a handsome prize. Asa K. Leonard drew a fine Edison phonograph , A. W. Flnkhouse a fine chair. Others have orders for hair cuts , shaves , merchandise , photo- graphs , Ice coupons and the Thanks- giving dinner of many others was also furnished by the spinning wheel. H. Boomer's lunch stand did a rushing business. The cane rack also was an nttrnctlon , but the fish pond , operated by John Naper and A. E./Amerlne , was a feature In these attractions , mnny casting for a prize and none going 1 awny disappointed , the fish always be lng solidly cnught by the'hooks , ( The central attraction of the free shows was Hans In his lightning oil sketches , which were sold at remark- ably low prices. The Norfolk quartet did n turn and were much applauded. The moving pictures furnished by E. F. Huso and the Crystal theater were much appreciated. The attendance was at mnny times during the night far beyond the capac- ity of the rink , and everyone wont nway well satisfied with the entertain- ment furnished them by the Norfolk fire lighters , who arranged the sue- ' cessful fair In less than a week's time. As Viewed at Fairfax. Fnlrfnx , S. D. , Nov. 24. Speclnl to The News : Something unusual and somewhat annoying to at least some , of the'Gregory public officials was the ' nrrest on last Thursday of the mayor d'of Bonesteel , A. W. Llntccum , on a j charge o' larceny , the charges growing iout of the circumstance of the chief ref police taking up n stray cow on the streets of Bonesteel , which for lack of "pound" facilities wns sent by Mr. Llntecum to his ranch a few miles out of the city , sometlmo during the summer or fall. The case vas brought 3before County Judge Davis on n 1change of venue and was dismissed. It Is quite probable that "spite-work" 1 at the bottom of the matter , as It seems that Bonesteel Is suffering from othat Incurable malady "factionalism" each division of which Is endeavoring to "outclass" the other. This Is the second "cow case" In which the popular chief oxecutlvo of the city has been Interested In lately , as In the other case ho seemed to hold the losing hand , that case being do elded against him. r TAKE ONE Sale Opens WRECK The Sale is at the Old Western Union 2ndWRECK Telegraph office one door east of the Dec. 2nd Schelley building . , Norfolk Neb.
