JC- Distance from a railroad town and from JCn nin the wholesale mnrkcta , ns well as the uncer ina tainty of crops , lion led the farmers of Loup ( a lain and Elm Creek precincts of Ouster county laf f to abandon the Idea of raising grain for the in markets , and they are now engaging as IKH largely as posalblo In the raising of cattle , IKa bogs and sheep. This ecctlon produced t > K fairly good wheat crop this year , the aalo ot ot which dlil much to clear up the small debits of the community , but the realization that next year's crop may bo a failure keeps the posplo from getting "wheat crazy. " There probably Is DO place In the United States where cattle and sheep can bo raised and fattened at BO small an expense. The country Is very rough , with high , frowning hills and deep canyons , but everywhere t _ * there is n thick growth ot short grass , upon which the stock subsists both summer and winter. Kven the snow storms do not Inter ! fere aorlnisly with the grazing , OH In the hills the snow which covers one slope leaves another bare , while the deep canyons fur nish good shelter In the most severe weather , For those reasons the hilly country is much better than the level for stock raising. The writer found Instances where 2-ycar-old steers had been raised and fattened and Hero ready to ship to the market , and had never had a feed of grain. The majority ot stockmen find It necessary to feed the cattle only ono or < two days during the win ter , when the worst storms drlvo the heran from the feeding grounds. All through that country both feeders and milch cows coma through the winter In good condition. Yearlings - lings are being bought there at nn average prlco of $2B per head , which seems a high price , but when It Is taken Into considera tion that the feed of the animals for the next year costs practically nothing the large profit In buying ycarllngi at 'that prlco Is apparent. All the surplus "wheat money" of that country is being Invested in young cattle , and largo numbers are beiiif ; brought In from localities where the condi tions are Ir.'s favorable. The grass , which Is BJ good for cattle , Is equally good for horses. Work teams turned upon the range or In the pastures In the fall seldom receive any attention until spring , and como through In good shape for the season's work. PARMURS HOLD THUR CORN. The drouth and hard times of two and three years ago almost cleared the hogs out of southern Ouster county. Farmers who were short on feed end short on almost every thing else , either butchered tlielr hogs or sold them for whatever they could get. Very few people had depended on hogs as a source of profit and had cribbed llttlo corn for their feed. In past years , when a crop of grain was raised , It was at once sold , and a crop failure any ono year almost meant a failure In the raising of swlno , as there was noth ing to feed them until another crop could mature. The lesson was a dear one , but H was learned nevertheless , and It Is probable that hereafter io corn from that section of the country will find Its way to the wholesale markets , except In the form of fat stock So great Is the local demand for corn this year that the market Is 4 cents higher out there among the Hills than It Is at the nearest railroad station , ten miles away. Besides the lesson noted heretofore thr hard times were productive of another good result. When the farmers ur/Un commcnceJ to stock up with hogs they looked out fo- good blood , and today the herds that ar- to bo found cti almost every farm are al most equal In appearance to the most ram- Iiered thoroughbreds of the eastern part of the state and have required less than half the care for their raising. In stocking ui > so good a start has been made that a won derfully largo number of fat hogs have been sent to the mcrket Ma fall , while tbo In 4 creased number kept for next year's sales will provo a mine of wealth to the neigh borhood. The shipments from southern Ouster and northern ItulTalo counties have been so largo dm Ing the past month that the rail road company operating the Kearney & Calla- way line has been compelled to put on a dallj train , where fc < - the last throe years only thrcB trains a week have been run. Sheet ) raising in a new Industry In this sec tion , hut since the passage of the new tariff bill largo numbers of sheep arc being brought to the rich feeding grounds of the so-called sand hills , and It Is thought that they will bo almost as easy to winter as are the cattle and horses. It Is believed that the number of sheep will reach mammoth proportions In another year. HERE'S A STOCK RANCH. In the last two or three years a number of largo ranches have 'been ' , established in this part of the country , and this year they are not only adding permanent Improve ments , but are Increasing ns fast as pos- nlblo the number of head of stock kept on the places. One ot these ranches visited by the writer IH In Loup precinct and Is owned by George Adams of 'Chicago. ' The Adams ranch contains -1,500 acres , of which 600 acres nro under cultivation. The wlro fence on the place amounts to over twenty miles end still moro crocs fences arc being added. At the present time work Is being carried on In. the construction of a now house 2SxC2 fro4 In slzo , to toke the place of the sod dwelling which iias heretofore been In use. The Adams ranch at present Is stocked with 300 head of cattle , 300 hogs and twenty- llvo horses , and as the now yards and fences are.being completed a largo number of young cuttle nro being bought to add to the herd. The manager pays J2o a head for yoarllifg Rteora and $20 for good spring calves , when ha can got them In that neigh borhood , but Is unable to get many oven at that price , as the farmers are all starting small herds of feeders of their own. The Adams ranch Is only a sample of the larger ranches that are being established Itv Ous ter county and they dll aid , not only In put ting up the local prlco of cattle and hogs , but they also create a local demand for corn , which keeps the prlco above that paid at the railroad towns , It Is u significant fart that every largo stock raiser In that locality Is a republican and that the men employed on the ranches , and In fact almost every man who Is Inter ested to any extent In the ctock bnalnets , voted the republican ticket this fall. The sentiment was so strong that Loup precinct wont republican for the first line sliico 1S90 , showing what effect the now Industry and the prosperous conditions are having on the people of the hill country , The radical pop ulists of that neighborhood are almost In variably the men who still depend an corn alone or who Imvo not the Industry to raise good crop ot any kind. s.vvs HAS en HOICKS Tiiu noon. 1'ortliunl' * Ufceiitrlo Muynr Hit * Novel lileiia In Iteiruril to Them.

( Speclal.-On ) Thursday John Murray , the septuagenarian flagman at Eleventh end Franklin streets In this city , will celebrate the anniversary of fifty-ono years continuous service as a rail road employe , which , It Is believed , breaks the record. Murray has been Identified with railroading since bo was a young man and has literally seen It grow from the begin nings. It was In 1SIG , when ho was but 20 years old , that ho first began work on a railroad. Ho was given a job as cnglno wiper and cleaner , and a year later ho gradu ated Into A full-fledged fireman on the Mich igan Central. At the tlrno such a thing as a T-rall was unknown In America , and the track consisted of wooden stringers with straps of Iron nailed on the top. "In ffilto of our wooden tracks wo used to make some pretty good runs , " eald old Mur ray. "Tho engines only weighed about one- quarter of what they do now and the cars were similar to the little bob-tailed cars that have now run out of date. In 18-19 I was employed on the Michigan Southern , which was the first road to run Into Chicago. At that time there were just ten miles of wooden and strap Iron railroad track In Illinois. About this time they commenced to lay Iron rails , and then tracks were laid all over the cast. Railroading gradually came west and I came with It. "In 1850 I was In Toledo , 0. , running a switch engine and from 1852 to 1857 I was In Wisconsin. Later , as tracks were built west , I followed them to Fort Wayne and to Kansas , where I was running an euglnu In 1SGS. In Texas for several months I was with the old Sunset line and started for Cali fornia In 1877 , where I was running an en gine. In the mines for two years. After that I came to the ccast with the Southern Pacific , having drifted with the progress ot railroadIng - Ing clear ucross the continent. " Women mid Men Sunerliitetiilentn.

( Special. ) In old-Umo history wo are told that All roads led to Rome. In the Black Hills , just at present , all roads lead to Two Bit. There has never before In the Black Hills been auch Interest shown In the opening of a no'V mining district as there ift now In Two Dlt KUlch. One eels the flrst view of Two lilt , golcg from Deadwood , from the summit ot Lexington hill , on the old Galena and Deadwood - wood \\cgon road. One sees a broad flat , resembling somewhat In ahcpo a largo gold- pan. No ono- needs to bo Informed that there Is something unusual going on down In the valley , for there are many teams loaded , and carriages filled with Interested visitors and foot passengers , all going one way toward the southeast. Then down lif the valley , at the foot ot the mountain , can bo seen the same teams unloading their bur dens ot machinery and lumber and building materials of all kinds and the visitors mov ing this way and that , looking at the mam moth machinery being put Into position , or peering down Into the shafts where the miners are busy at work. Your Interest , too , becomes aroused , and a brief walk down the mountain side brings you to the scenes of activity. You are met by Mr. Hard In , sr. , father ot James D. Hardln , who la the discoverer and promoter of this great Two lilt mining dis trict. For many years the Hardln family lias lived In this beautiful valley , near the bank of the swiftly running stream. The Hardln homestead Is ono of the places of Interest just as much as are the deep holes In the ground nearby. Wo are taken flrst to the Hardln shaft , which Is the oldest de veloped property In the basin. About two years ago James Hardln was convinced In his mind that there was ore of unusual rich ness underlying the old homestead. He opened up communication with several east ern capitalists In regard to the matter , but owing to the stringency of the times It was Impossible at that time to get money Inter ested In the property. Not In the least dis couraged , Mr. Hardln kept up the prospect on the claim and also kept In touch with the outside world , and early this spring went to Chicago and succeeded In enlisting suf ficient Interest In his mines to form a com pany , which Is known as the Hardln Min ing and Manufacturing company , with six teen full claims as Its property. Money was back of the organization , and a shaft was put down to the quartzlte , a depth of 180 feet. STRIKE IT RICH. In September the rich vein ot iron sul phide was encountered , which proved to be twenty-two feet thick , and Is , no doubt , thu richest vein of like formation In the Hills. Since then the miners have driven a twen ty-four foot drift at the 'bottom ' of the shaft without meeting any boundary that marks the limits of this now famous ere zone. When the first operations were begun on the shaft there was no expectation of finding a commercial grade of ore anywhere on the perpendicular plain , which is now occupied by the Hardln shaft. Two Bit basin embraces about 1,000 acres of land lying along the creek and extends a short distance up the sides of the sur rounding mountains. In the basin the shales , Instead of having a dip of several degrees , to the northeast , aa would be expected , are nearly horizontal , which leads to the con- elusion that the \vhole basin Is underlaid with the same vein that has been encoun tered In the Hardln shaft and should the ? predictions hold true and the other nilncn now being developed open up the same rich ness , no place on earth will be more cele brated In the gold output than the Two Bit district. After the announcement of rich dlscoverle- In the original Hardln shaft , there was no difficulty in enlisting capital In any new enterprise which Mr. Hardn desired to put forth. A little over a month aso he wem to Chicago otice > more , taking with him rich samples of ore from his own mine , and in a. short time- hid completed the organization of three companies with plenty of monej backing them. A person really needs to visit this Inter esting llttlo district to comprehend its vaat- ncss. To come In contact with the enthusi astic mlno owners and the miners themselves and stand at the mouth of the shaft as each "bucket" comes up loaded with black rocs and wonder with them If a rich strike lias yet been made. And one feels an Impulse to take drill and sledge In hand and help the miners in the bottom of the shaft or lend a hand In moving to place these weighty Iron beams for the steam hoist. This "wait- Ing for developments" .becomes unbearable and we want to do as the "boas" docs , hurry things and sec them completed. DEVELOPMENT WORK. The development work , cs It Is now planned by Mr. Hardln , who Is the mov'iag spirit la all enterprises on the creek , con sists in extending the croucuts In the ore already exposed ; In placing a hoist and olnk'ng a shaft on the Great Eastern com pany's ground , which is 1.100 feet north andi a few degrees west of the HardiD workIngs - Ings ; In erecting a hoist on the ground of the Chicago and Two Bit company , which Is 2,000 fcot directly north of the Hardln hort- ! 'ng works , and In the building of another hoist of the name size as the others over the shaft of the Great Northern , which Is 1,200 feet cast ot the Hardln shaft. The greatest interest centers around the Great Eastern property for the reason that it Is the lowest In the basin and the vein will be encountered there flrst , It to ex pected , too , that this will be the richest of the four mines. This company has about completed the grade for the hoisting plant , which will bo erected as soon as possible. About twenty men are employed by the com pany and SB soon as three-compartment shaft Is ready for use the force will bo Increased. On the Chicago and Two-nit cotnpany'u ground the shaft Is down to a depth of fifty feet and the work of sicking Is temporarily suspended until the > machinery for the hoist U put In position. The Great Northern com pany has Just begun the grading for the hoisting works. Thcro are great quantities of Norway pine timber growing en the hillsides which will glvo an abundant supply for mining timber and for fuel. The water Is also plentiful for all Ui s , domestic as well as milling , and It Is expected that aa teen as the two competing railroads get tholr lines Into the Justus D.-ox L.

( Special. ) The work of organizing local branches ot the South Dakota RoUIl Merchant * ' associ ation In every city and town of the state Is proceed'ng with satisfactory results. The association was formed at a meeting held In this city In July last , since which time Secretary C. C. Pctersra of Newark has been visiting the towns of the state in teresting the merchants In the work. Al ready Borne thirty local branches have been orgcmlzcd and the membership Is nearly 400. Thcro are about 2,000 retail merchants do- lug business lu the state and a majority of them will be gathered Into tills new asso ciation. The object ot the association Is to drlvo out peddlers and the solicitors of out- sldo "catalogue houses" which have Infested the elate and not only taken trade from the local nfcrchrnts , but defrauded the unsus pecting customer. The association has some thing like $10,000,000 Invested In the mer chandise business In this state and Its mem bers are organizing with a view to protect ing not only their own Interests but thcoo of the buyers. During the past tow years the state has been covered by a multitude of solicitors who hava carried alleged samples and taken orders from farmers acd others. They have secured orders which were equiv alent to notes and have shipped the goods In carload lots , several farmets combining to take one car. In. many If not most cases the goods when delivered were found to be Inferior In quality and higher In price than these sold by the local dealers. It Is the purpose nt the association , to put a stop to all this and to see that the local dealers get a fair chance at the trade which belong ! ) to them. The anti-peddler law , which was paascd last winter by the legislature , will be sustained and other good laws secured. uxAunrron"MAYIIISW ACQUITTKU.

"Captain Impudence , " a somewhat pe culiar play with a peculiar title , was prc- srcitedat the Uoyd last evening to a much smaller audience than the merits of the performance warranted. "Captain Impu dence" Is a strange mixture ot comedy , ro mance and melodrama which has for Its scene an army camp In Mexico during the war between the United States and that country. Captain Shields falls in love with the daughter ot the major and It must bo said that his style of courtship Is unique and decidedly Interesting to the spectator. The usual superabundance of gushing senti ment Is entirely lacking In his love making , the conventional methods being relegated to his father-in-law to bo employed In his pursuit ot the Inevitable charming widow. The scrloua situa tion Is the result of the misinterpreta tion of his sentiments by a Mexican senorlta , who mistakes a kindly endeavor to console her for loss of father and mother In the war for the moro tender passion. The portrayal of the character of the passionate , generous and at the same time \engeful Spanish- Mexican character was admirably done by Selena Fetter Roylo. Edwin Royle as Cap tain Shields , with his very extraordinary methods of courtship , was no less cred itable. Charles Cbappellc as the testy but withal klndhearted major , and Lillian Daly as the charming widow in search of ccn- quest , who winds up by falling In love In fact , were also meritorious characteriza tions. The play Is not one which rails for any superlative talent , but for all that has much to both amuse and entertain , espe cially uhcn as well presented as It was last night. Its novelty being the principal thing which raises it above the general run of romantic comedy. The company will bo at the Dojd tonight and Tuesday evening. "Tho Last Stroke , " depleting life und scenes In Cuba during the present revolution. will bo at the Crelghton theater for two nights and two matinees , beginning with the Thanksgiving matinee Thursday.
