sian'ly setilnR luics to capture the 'bl

Keno down the snow was falling fast , lly
the tlino the last rail had linen unloaded It
was pitch dark , and ns Ilio ennlno wnt
headed west wo were obliged to back up al
the way to Smoky Hill. The conductor and
the captain of the gnnrd , composed of gov
ernment scouts , took a Bland on the rearmost -
most flatears and when I got a signal 1
opened the throtllo and began tn poke the
blunt end of the construction train Into Hie
darkness. Ordinarily I Into running bacl-
vvards at night , but In n casa of this kind
It Is a relief to know that there are a dozen
or more well-armed soldiers between yon
nnd whatever the darkness holds. Three or
four men with white lights were stationed
at Intervals along the tops of the ten or
twelve rain that made up the train. Jho
lioiiso car , nr caboose , wan next the engine
nnd upon the top of this car r.tood the fore
man of tin- gang nnd from him I was sup-

"Wo hail been In motion loss than ten
inlnmcs when I saw the conductor's light
( wo were- going with the storm ) stand out ,
and following this movement all the llgbtH
along the train's top pointed out over the
plain and I began to slow down. Instantly
n dozen whols were ( Ired from the darkness.
Muflli'd by the Btorm , thu sound came , as If
n park of firecrackers wore going oft under
a dinner pall anil we all know what wo had
run into 'Ii.juns , ' Hhoiited the fireman leapIng -
Ing neross the gangway , 'and they're on my
side ' 'Keep your scat , ' said I , 'they're on

HUCKINO TIIK HUCKS.
"Now all the whlto lights , following an
other signal from Iho conductor , began to
whirl furiously In n short circle. That was
my notion precisely. If they had prepared
to ditch us WP might as well go In the ditch
ns to remain on the tops of the cars to bo
picked off by the Slonx , BO I opened the
throttle and began to back away again as
fast BH possible. The Indians Imd prepared
to ditch our train. They had placed n great
jillo of cross ties upon the track , expecting
that when we struck them our train would
como to a dead stop. This Hmnll party which
had lln-d uron us was the outer watch , the
main band being huddled about the heap of
ties where they expected us to halt and where
most of the amusement would occur. The
track was newly laid and as billowy ns a
rough sea but this was no tlmo for careful
running. The oid work engine soon had the
empty train going at n thirty mile gait nnd
then wo bit the tic-pile. The men on the
rear car , which was now thu front , hnd an
ticipated a wreck nnd retired In bad order
to the center of the train. The Indians , who
lind only n faint notion of the power and re
sistance of n locomotive , stood close to
gether about the pllo of tics. The falling
tinow had made the rail and timbers so wet
and slippery that when wo hit the stack of
wood the- ties Hew In all directions. Some
of them were thrown to the to | > s of the care
nnd others now Into the mob of redskins ,
knocking them Into confusion. A flno buck ,
who must have been standing on the track ,
was picked up In the collision nnd landed
upon the top of the second car , right at the
conductor's feet. The fellow was consider
ably stunned by the fall , and , taking ud-
vantage of Ma condition , the scouts scl/.cd
and bound him with a piece of bell cord ,
taking care to remove an ugly knife from his
rawhide bolt. The band was so surprised to
j eo the train plough through the wreckage
j [ , that they forgot to fire until wo had almost
passed them and n great Hood of tire front
| _ _ - the engine stuck was falling among them.
They tln > n threw up their guns , those who
were Htlll on their feet , nnd let go nt us , but
tiono of the bullets affected our party.
ATFACKINO THIS HOUND HOUSB.
"When we had rrtichod the station , the
Pawnees , who were among the. scouts , recog
nized our captive at once ni Hoar Foot. t >
noted and very wicked j-lilef. When the
Sioux onme to himself and realize * ! that he
was a captive he became furious. He surged
niul strained at tlu < ijcll rope , nut It was an
in vain , and finally he gave up.
"When we had eaten our supper wo nil
went Into the round house soldiers and all
for we know the Sioux would make a
desperate effort to secure their chief before
the night was out.
"It was long after midnight when one of
the men on duty hoard a low scraping sound
llko that made by a hog crawling under a
gate A moment later the noire wns re
peated , and when the same winnd had been
licard thrco or four times , the lieutenant
In command flashed a bull's-eyo lamp In the
direction of the door , and the light of'it
revealed three big braves standing close
together , while a fourth was Just creeping
In under the door. With a we-are-dlscov-
cred expression the tall Indian who ap
peared to be the loader glanced at his com
panions. Then as though the Idea had
struck nil of them nt once , they throw their
guns up nnd lot go along down the ray of
light nnd the lieutenant fell to the ground ,
severely wounded.
"Appreciating the Importance of our cap
ture the captain In command had set four
powerful I\iwneo scouts to guard Dear Font ,
the Sioux chief. It was no sure thing that wo
would bo able tn stand the Indians off till
morning , and n.s the storm had knocked the
wlrra down wo had been unable to telegraph
to I.awron for reinforcements. The fact
that their bravo ehle.i was himself a captive
woulil Ic , rrse the wrath of the red ine-n

the Hitiiatir.n . wo wcro In n hard hole. I. for
tine , would have gladly bartered our captive
and the glory of the capture away for the
assurance of seeing the aun rise on th # fol
lowing morning , but I dared not hint imch n
thing to the captain , much Irsu to the
1'iiwneos.

"Tho four Pawnees with their prisoner wore

"J'rMently , hearing no sound from .within ,
the auiicklr.n party d.M ed firing nnd began
to prowl about the building In search of
a weak spot through which they might ef
fect nit entrance. The fate of the three early
cnllcr.i who had hoRxod It under the door
kept them from fooling about that trap for
the remainder of the night. In n llttlo
wltllo the whole place was as still ns the
tomb , fitvo for the sod flutter of steam
from the safety \alve of the 49. Hoar Foot
knew what wan going on. Kvcn though he
could co nothliiK. he knew that his faith
ful followers were working for bis release ,
and now when all was silent he shouted
from the coal tank to his braves to break
j the door and come In. Hefnro the Pawnee
Kcouts could pound him Into n state of
quietude he had Imparted to his people the
particulars of his whereaboutx , and Imme
diately the whole band throw themselvee
against the from of the building.
"The house Inlrly trembled , the Indians
surged front without nnd the great doors
swayed to und fro , threatening nt any mo
ment to glvo way and let the flood of blood
thirsty mUVIna In upon us.
" -Stnnd together , ' called the captain to
his men.
" Tut on the blower and get h r bet , '
I called to the flriMiian. for I know the frail
structure tould not withstand the strain
much longer. As often n.i the fireman
j opened the furnare dour to rake his lire the
! ! glare of th'j firebox lit up the wholt Interior
I and showed three dead Slotiv near the door.
I One of thorn lay across Iho rail nnd I found
'
, myself speculating ns to whether the pilot
j I of the 13 would throw him off , nr whether
I must run over him. Now It seemed that
the whole band had thrown themselves
ngnlnst the building , anil the yelling was
deafening. Above It all I heard our cap
tain shout : 'Oet ready , Frank. '
" 'I am readv. ' said I.
CAUGHT IN A THAI' .
" 'All right , ' said he. 'Shoot It to 'em , ' nnd
I opened the Hand valves and the throttle.
I have often thought what a temptation It
wns for those soldiers to leap upon the
engine and make their escape , but , although
they all understood perfectly what was going
on , .lot one of them took advantage of this
'last train nut. '
"Just as the 'Illg Hoss' moved with all
her ponderous nnd almost Irroslstablo
weight toward the front of the building , the
double doors sagged toward me llko the head
gate of n great reservoir thnt is overcharged
nnd then I hit 'em. The big doors , being
forord from their hinges , fell out upon the
redskinw and they were caught like rats In
a trap. The pilot ploughed through them ,
maiming nnd killing n score of them , nnd on
went the 19 over the safe switches which had
already been sot for her before the fight be
gan. The confusion caused by the awful
work of Illg Hoss. which they regarded as
llttlo less thun the devil , was Increased when
the Tndlnim who remained unhurt realized
that the engine was making away with their
chief , for he had told them.how he was held
a captive 'In the belly of the big horse. '
"All effort for the capture of the round
house was Instantly abandoned nnd the Sioux
ns one man turned and ran after the loco
motive. The captain In command of the
scouts , tnklng advantage of the confusion
of his foe. nnd of the fact that his force was
In the dark building , while the Slonx were
out upon the whitened earth , quickly massed
his men at the open door and began to pour
a murderously wicked fire into the balllcd
Sioux , who , like foolish fnrm dogs , wore
chasing the Ifl out over the switches.
"AH the Indians who were crippled by the
engine were promptly , and I thought , very
properly , killed by the Pawnee scouts nnd
the rent were driven away with fearful loss.

before day without a mishap.
"My first thought wns of our captive , Hear
Foot , who had made truck laying dangerous
business for our pcoplu for the past three
or four weeks , but upon looking about I
saw only four Pawnees , nnd concluded that
the fierce fellows had killed the chief and
rolled him qjf.
" 'Where's Hear Font ? ' I demanded.
" Here , ' said a Pawnee , who was quietly
seated upon the mnti-holo of the engine
tank , and he pointed down. During the ex
citement In thu round house nt Smoky Hill ,
the Sioux had made a desperate effort to
escape , and had been quietly dropped Into
the tank whore he had remained throughout
the entire run.

INDUSTRY'S ' INVITING FIELD
Opportunities for t o Profitable Investment
of Idle Capital
A NEW ERA APPARENTLY BEGU
Chenp 1'iiwr In the l-'orni of Kleetrle-
ll.v , Clan unit ComiircNiril Air the
Determining Knoliim 1
XOTV Vviir'.t
Tha first ulno months ot the pmjcnt year
Bhotv n balance of trade In favor ot this
country of 4143,000,000 , ns against an ad
verse balance tor the same period lant year of
$ J3,000,000. Since the present gold Importa
tions begun Bomethlng like $65,000,000 ban
been JjrouGht lo this country nnd the amount
of gold that wan hoarded agalnct the possi
bility of the free coinage of silver has been
variously estimated nt from flO.000,000 to
$200noO,000. There Is undoubtedly n Inrge
amount of Idle money nwnltlng Investment
In this country , and the following Hums have
been grouped up for the Information of those
who have It.
Tested by percentage of failures , Iho bankIng -
Ing business Is the safest , as It li ono of the
mortt profitable single occupations in Oils
country. In the southern and wcHtern states
this business Is comparatively but llttlo de
veloped. Of the $ ti.500,000,000 , which In the
form ot stocks , suivlus nnd depcolts , com-
prho the banking capital with which thin
country docs business , two-third ; ! lo held in
the nine smaller elates of New Kngland , New-
York , N'o.v Jersey and Pennsylvania , usually
designated as the "east. " These have 03
per cent of this toial banking capital , while
the remaining thirty-six stntos havu the bal
ance of 37 per cent 1 per cent per state.
Where Rhode Island and Maaiacuuactts
have upward of | 300 per capita of banking
capital , and New York $275 , equitlly rich
stall's like Georgia , Alabama nnd North Carolina
lina have $18 , $11 and $15 per capita. Arkan
sas has $6. The slates of the west range
from $20 to $00 per capita , as ngalnat an
average of eight or ton times this In the cast.
In n general way , therefore , It Is safe to say
that Investments In bank stocks arc likely to
yield u larger ivtun : throughout the west and
Houth , where money is scarce and natural
resources but little developed , than In the
caat , whore It is plentiful.
HKLICS OF TUB SOUTHERN DOOM.
In the south , too , nro many manufactur
ing plants roiling mills , furnaces , steel
works , cotton mills and the like , thai were
built In the "boom" dnys , thai are now
Idle and rolling. At Mlddleboro , Ky. ( Cum
berland Gap ) , It is estimated that the IJn-
gllsh syndicate planted something llko $ ! " , -
000,000 , nud nt n number of other points.
Fort Payne , Tallapnosa nnd olsi-whore , still
other largo enterprises were put under way
with disastrous results. Many of these
plants can be picked up for n song or for
a share In the now organization , nnd with
n revival of Industry In the United States
these afford many nttrncllvc features to
wldc-awako business men. The Industrial
development of the south , It is hardly neces
sary to explain , has but Just begun , nnd
with cheap lands , cheap fuel and close
contiguity to the iron mines and cotton
fields , this section , now thnt the boom has
been utterly crushed out , offers many good
ground-floor Investments.
Very much the same condition obtains
In many parts of the west , although not
In the same degree. The collapse of the
speculative- mania did not bear so hardly
upon this section , nnd , broadly speaking.
It is now the most prosperous section of
the country. At the same time , realty prices
rule low , nnd with the exception of Colorado
rado , property may be had for aboul a half
and sometimes a fourth what It could four
years ago.
ago.WATKH
WATKH IS TO UK KING.
Perlnps the safest Investment anywhere
to bo found In this section , ns well as in
the whole country. Is water power. Kuslly
the most striking fact of recent Industrial
progress Is the cheap production of elec
tricity from waterfalls , and Its long distance
transmission. At the present time thirty or
forty miles Is the farthest that the cur
rent has been distributed profitably , but with
the rapid Improvement of the polyphase
system there ! s no reason to doubt that
this limit will he greatly extended , probably
to ten times the distance within throe or
four years.
At points considerably distant from the
coal fields n good head of water offers the
largesl possibilities. Especially Is this true
of the mountainous stales of Iho wesl.
where Iho waler powers are of enormous ex
tent. Hither Colorado or Montana have
single-handed enough power to turn the
wheels of all the industries of the United
States were there no limit to economical
transmission. It has been estimated by gov
ernment engineers that the Grand river of
Colorado , within a distance of 100 miles ,
would afford something like 2,000,000 horse
power alone.
With this cheap and elllelent agent It Is
easy to see lhat the next few years will wit
ness a very great Industrial development
in such parts of the country ns possess this
supreme advantage. Particularly It means
much to the states ot the far west , which ,
with their enormous mineral wealth , bid
fair to rival Now York and Pennsylvania
as manufacturlns centers
With the slncle exception of Niagara , nnd
porhaia n portion of the St. Lawrence , the
waler powers of Hie east are now utilized
to their full capacity , and no great develop
ment can bo expecled. Ilul at Great Falls.
Mont. , along the Yellowstone and the Sho.s-
hone at Spokane Falls , Snoqualmle Fallii ,
and along the smaller mountain streams of
the Rockies nnd the Cascades , are millions
of horse-power which can bo had almost for
the harnessing. These must play an Im
portant role In the Industrial development
of the next ten years.
In port.i.im of Norlh and South Dakota
powerful artesian wells likewise afford cheap
power , and the city of Austin , Tex. , has seta
a remarkable example by damming the
Colorado with a weir 1.000 feet long and
sixty-eight feet high , costing $1,500,000 ,
which will develop a splendid head. At a 5
per cent Interest charge on the Invcslmenl
the horse-power developed will ccsl a Iltllc
more than ? 15 per year horse-power. Thia
Is perhaps n third of the cast of coal power
In that section.
Incidentally the reduction In the cost of
electrical auppllcs within the past ten years
provides food for thought as to what the
next decade may bring forth. At the present
time $100 will buy the same goods thnt cost
$1.000 ten yearn ago , and the quality and
elllcloncy has likewise Improved.
CiAS FOR POWER TRANSMISSION , TOO.
Hut while electricity generated by water
power holds so brilliant a future , It Is well
not lo lose sight of the Immense Improve
ment In several kindred lines. The use
of coal In the form of gas or converted , by
the way of the steam engine , hi to compressed
air , has had a development of recent years
that assures n long llfo for this article yet.
The possibilities of gas power transmission
are still In embryo , but It Is worthy of note
thai Email thermopile generators for use
over a gas Maine are now being sold thai
develop a currcnl sulllelent to light a room ,
run fans and Iho like , nt a considerably less
cost than the same amount of current can
be furnished from the big generating Bta-
tlniiH. Sllll again Iho Introducllon of the
wonderful Welsbnch incandescent , gas light
ban given ft decided setback to the advance
of the Incandescent electric.
Meanwhile. Just as coal gas seemed In
this manner to have taken on a new lease
of life , a threatening rival to both gas and
electricity has appeared In the form of
acetylene. Already there are six establish
ments la the United .states ready to manu
facture the new compound , calcium carbide ,
from which acetylene Is made. They prom
ise to reduce Iho cost of carbide from Iho
present prlec of $100 a ton to $30 or $10. or
oven less , and If this Is realized thu future
of acetylene as an Illumlnant seems Hiiro.
YOKING ELECTRICITY AND AIR.
On an opposite tide electricity hag a
swiftly developing rival In compressed air.
Employed for an almost Inconceivable va
riety of uses at the present time. It has
been found u marvelously cheap agency
for power transmission. In large factories
It U actually cheaper limn shafting , and li
HO employed In railroad chops from Jersey
City to Denver. U l dllllcult to set bounds
to its usefulness when It Is distributed from
largo central compressing stations llko gas ,
electricity nnd water th > .b now done In
Paris on n large scale.Jf. , \ not Impassible
that It will become rather the yokemate
than the rival of clecmrlO. the latter beIng -
Ing employed for long ill.iunco trantmlnslon
from the waterfall , thei.culni bank or the
mine mouth , nnd then converted Into com
pressed air nt the point' ' of'application. .
WIND AND SOLAR1 'KNOtNKS.
U U rather curious that wind power should
have so long remained ttntqstcd , seeing that
up to fifty years ago It , was the exclusive
means of propulsion nt * oh. An Interesting
experiment has been tried at Marblehead
Neck , Mass. , where n.i windmill has been
employed to light a country eslale. The
net cost of the lamps was i-onslderably less
than half where coal was used , nnd they
never once failed. In mountainous regions ,
where the winds are strong nnd reasonably
steady , windmills might prove a source of
amazing cheap power , and It Is hardly to bo
doubted that some neglected genius will
prove It.
Similarly In clear sections like Now Mexico
ice , Arizona nnd southern California , where
the sun shines out for nt least .100 days In
the year , H would peem lhat Iho solar en
gine offers nn equally Interesting field of
experiment.
Yet another pource of cheap power Is pe
troleum , which with the discovery ot the
new oil fields In Colorado , Wyoming nnd
around Los Angeles' , Cal. , must steadily
decrease In price. It Is a valuable adjunct
to manufacturing In many states , notably
In Indiana , where 2,700 new wells were
opened last year , while only 700 old ones
failed.
I hnvo dwelt on the outlook for power nt
low cost because of the dominating Itillu-
cnco of the latter In the shifting lines' of In
dustry. With the tierce competition that
now obtains In the Untied Slates the locallo-i
of the sources of power ami product will be
the determining factor of Industrial growth.
At the present time no nation In the world
carries Its freight such long distances , or
pays so colossal a freight bill-as does this
country. Much of Ibis Is needless nnd n
heavy drain upon the pioduclng classes , the
farmer and the manufacturer , ns well as
upon the consumer.
A POSSIHLD HOOM IN HEET SUOAU.
Of Individual Industries few offer larger
possibilities than beet sugar. This counlry
pays out $75.000,000 to $100,000.000 a year
for Imported sugars. A largo part of this
goes lo Germany. The lallcr produces 1.-
250,000 tons of beet sugar a year , where this
counlry produces a llttlo more than 50,000
tons. Franco produces 750,000 tons a year.
In favorable sections no agricultural crop
Is so profitable ns the sugar best , and n
number of factories nro springing Into ex
istence , the first In New York stale having
Just boon Bel up.
The nrice of aluminum has dropped from
$ S a pound to n- > cents In ten years , and the
production In this country risen from noth
ing to over 1,000,000 pounds n year. A French
firm promises n price * of 15 cents n pound as
soon ns the-lr output reaches a certaln llgure.
Such n price will bring this metal Into as
wldo n use ns that of Iron nnd steel at
the present time. The requisite material ,
bauxlto nnd clay. Is widely distributed , much
more widely than Iron , and there is little
doubt thnt the manufacture of aluminum
will In a very few years become one of the
most Important Industries of the country.
The electric smelting of Iron , and steel
making with a current generated from water
power , now achieved 'under the De Laval
'
process In Sweden , premise's with Its Intro-
iliirilnn iii this country a still further cheap
ening of steel , which Is even now celling at
about one-fifth what It did thirty years ngn.
What Edison Is able 10 drt with his mag
netic ore separator roirialns'to be seen.
OUR UNTOUCHED MINERAL RICHES.
The development of the mineral wealth of
this country is , nt a conservative estimate ,
not half begun. Wyoming and Colorado seem
likely to prove richer than Pennsylvania ,
and even Washington Kxpects to bo a large
producer of steel , as It'now-supplies the Pa
cific const with coke and ; coal. In widely
distributed parts ot the country arc many
of the lesser known , but not lw valuable
mln-rals , manganese and cliromo-lron , sul
phur , rock salt , phosphate , borax nnd gyp
sum , asbestos , mica nnd potnsh. All of thcBo
are valuable where found In quantity.
In New Mexico are mines of turquoise nnd
tn Idaho of-'opals , nnd In Arizona , which Is
ono of the richest sections of the union. Is
the wonderful Chalcedony park , the petrified
tre'es of which are now made Into polished
shapes for decorative purposes. There , too.
are to bo found onyx , and lithographic and
many other curious hinds of stono.
Wood pulp Is now made up Into the most
astonishing variety of fabrics from window-
glass and paving blocks to silk drcyees. In
the wst. notably In Washington and Oregon ,
are o"ormous areas of fine timber which cnn
bo had at an exceedingly low price. They
are a safe speculation , because there Is little
danger of forc t fires , and Ihelr vnlue Is In
creasing rapidly.
To the Investor In real cs'ato the facts
adduced thus far will be Instructive In de
termining where to seek profitable property.
Nor will the latlcr fall lo take accounl of
the rise of tfie now shipping ports New

IRRIGATED FARM MORTGAGES.
To bo more cautious , mortgage loans on
lands developed under new Irrigation en
terprises are exceptionally Inviting. Very
often as high as 10 per cent may bo ob
tained on loans every whit as stable as the
" , or1 per cent of the ravings banks. There
is largo profit , too , awaiting the man who
Is able to colonize the lands reclaimed by
fiomo of Iho huge Irrlgallon enterprises of
the west , but ftlll unoccupied.

11 | ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM #
The Christmas week wns very quid
one In secret toclely circles. The members
of Iho orders appeared lo be more desirous
of quietly celebrating the evening by their
own Ilrcxldes than In attending Christina ?
entertainments and dances In the- lodge
rooms. As a consequence there were but
few affairs of any sort upon Christmas eve.
A few entertainments were given and a
few dances were enjoyed , but the majority
of the halls were dark.
The same quietude existed In the business
section of the orders. There was too much
holiday anticipation lo allow the transaction
ofmuch business. Such lodges ns held their
regular mtotlngs on Thursday nights , of
which there are many , did not have any
meetings because It wns Christmas eve. As
n consequence tlie week was rather sc.int of
secret society news.
An event of great Importance that Is to
como will occur January 7 , when
Oronhyntekha , the bead olllcer of tlio In
dependent Order of Foresters , will visit this
city for the purpose of organizing a state
conn of the order. This man , a full-blooded
Indian. Is famous , not only In secret society
circles , but nlso In the literary world. Ills
visit will be nn honor to the cily. On the
ovnilng of the same day he Is to make nn
address In lloyd's theater upon fraternal
orders , which will undoubtedly be listened
to by a goodly portion of fraternal men In
the city , without regard to the orders to
which they belong. The local foresters
are making every effort lo make thu occasion
n great success.
