( Special. ) It is a little remarkable to read the numerous let ters sent hero by people who emigrated from Cheyenne county to Missouri , Kansas and Arkansas. Many or them are coming back to try their fortunes upon the broad prairies of western Nebraska , and lots of them are desirous of returning , but lack the necessary funds to pay their expenses. These who remained have the widest scope to range their stock to cat of the nutritious grasses which abound everywhere. No state In the union has such valuable resources as Nebraska , and more particularly the western portion , where diversified Industries arc so plentiful. The opportunities offered here for settlers are simply remarkable , and \\onls fall to adequately express the wonderrul re sults achieved upon these vast pralrio lands by the hardy sons of toll. The star of em pire never shone with brighter radiance than now upon the people or Sidney and vicinity. . Ml'It ' I ) I Ml Till A IAT IIIIATIIICi : .

CAMDRIDGE , Mass. , Feb. 27. F. L. Wood ward of the Lawrence Scientific school at Harvard has devised a now ray lamp , by means of which excellent cathodlc radio graphs have been obtained. The lamp Is conical In shape , with walls of sheet alumi num , one-tenth of an Inch In thickness. The rayg pass through the aluminum readily , and with this lamp Mr. Woodward has obtained very clearly defined shadowgraphs of the hand in flvo seconds , from an Induced cur rent of only between 25,000 and 30,000 volts. The base of the lamp Is of solid glass fitted Into tliobase of the aluminum cone with plaster of parts and made airtight. A metallic ring passes around the base or the cone and holds the sides firmly to the glass bottom. Through a point a little at ono side or the center of the glass base passes the cathode polo Into the lamp , and a platinum disc la rastened to the end of U , at such an anglo as to bo parallel to the lamp. At the top or the lamp , and directly connected with the metallic side , Is the anldo pole , and at the top or the coneIs a glass tube through which the air may bo exhausted. The glass tube Is also rastened In with plaster of parls and bounil by a metallic ring , A circular wooden disc Is fastened Inside the metallic cone to prevent any collapse of the sides as the air Is exhausted. The new ray lamp has an Interest aside from Its construction , from the fact that ex periments conducted with It peem to Indicate that the glass vacuum envelope plays an Im portant part In the generation of the Roent gen rays. This theory was advanced by Roentgen lilmnelf. The results already obtained from Mr , Woodward's lamp make It seem probable that with a high current , say or 50,000 volts , an Instantaneous photograph may bo taken.
