This extension of 12 miles from Sheridan takes the Burlington into Montana and makes a connection with the Northern Pacific at Billings on the Yellowstone, This opens up a new market for Omaha and places the Burlington in a position to handle a portion of the northwest trade. In many ways this will benefit Omaha as well as the towns along the line of this popular route. To the wholesale houses of Omaha it opens a trade that has heretofore gone to St. Paul and points in that territory. To the tourist and sportsman it offers the finest attractions to be found in the west. To the farmer or health seeker it offers inducements that cannot be found in other sections. Farm lands that under irriga- tion ditches insure a large crop can be purchased at low rates, In regard to a market, our new outlet to the mining camps ‘of Montana and the mines in the Big Horn mountains in Wyoming offers a good return for all that can be raised in the beautiful valleys at the foot of the Big Horn mountains, Our source of water supply 18 unlimited, ales in real estate have been active the past week. One of the largest real estate deals ever made in Sheridan was negoti- ated through the firm of H. C. Alger & Co. The purchase includes some 000 acres ad- joining the city of Sheridan, and the parties who made the purchase were C. F. Beindorff and others of Omaha. This land will be platted and put on the mar ket at once. It is situated in a beautiful valley with groves here and there, which will be parked. A good view of the snow capped mountains can be seen at all times during the summer from any point in Sheridan, and it is only ten miles to the finest trout fishing streams in the west. Postmaster O. P. Hanna has just com- pleted a residence that cost $3500. C. B. Halbert, a Sheridan merchant, has built a laree residence on a hill overlooking Sheridan at a cost of $3,000. The tie camp, situated on Tongu has passed into’the hands of the McShanes of Omaha, and they have a large force at work and ‘are shipping in men. They have a large contract to furnish ties for the B. & M. road and have constructed a flume seven miles long that will float the ties and lumber down to the raflroad track. Captain Carnes is now in Sheridan with an excursion party from Towa and Illinols. This party consists of some prominent mi isters from the above states, and, after a isit_over the country, are warm' in their rises of this new and wonderful country that has become famous In agricultural cir- cles from the fact of having taken the first rive at the World's fair for the finest it and potatoes. The Bank of Commerce is completing a fine two-story brick building on Main street. J. T. Heald has started a two-story brick Qjoining the bank. Stores and residences are in demand, and a good opening presents itsclf to the capitalist in erecting buildings A six-room house will rent readily for $20 per month. Tmprovements are going on in all the additions. The Sheridan Land com- is putting up an iron bridge across Goose. E. Gillette and H. A. Coffeen ilso constructing a bridge across Little Goose. A §75,000 system of water works will_also be constructed in Sheridan this C. N. Dietz and H. F. Cady of Omaha, who are connected with the Sheri- dan Fuel company, have been here the past week and have gone over the ground of making large improvements in’ the coal mines. 1 will say right here that while we are trying to draw trade to Omaha we would remind them that we have the finest coal for domestic use in exchange for the goods that we require here. Bolleve It Was Mrs. Plorce. BUFFALO, Wyo., May 20.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee)—There is good reason to believe that the two skeletons discovered by T. M. Thorne not far from the D ranch in Crook county are the remains of Mary Pierce and her child. Mrs. Plerce was a daughter of J. A. Fisher, a brewer of this city, and left Johnson county about two and a half years ago in company with her husband. Nothing has since been heard of them by her relatives here. The description of the remains tallies with that given of Mrs. Pierce by her friends, and the peculiar appearance of the acld-eaten ring is well remembered by her mother and other inti- mate acquaintances. The husband was a man of about 30 years of age, of sandy, bleached out complexion, much freckled. He had light, shifting eyes, a light, droop- ing mustache, inclined to red, and was slightly bald’ on the forehead. Helght about “five feet, seven or eight inches, of slim build, with a face long and narrow. He worked as a farmer In this country, but sometimes followed the calling of a painter. Mrs. Plerce was tall, with abundance of dark brown hair. Thé child did not belong to Pierce, river, FEARED CONSEQUENCES., Tar and Feathor Party Breaks Up Without Making an Application. John Monroe, alias “Slop Jack,” a resi- dent on Saddle creek bottoms, had a narrow escape from having a thrilling experience last night and at the same time taking an involuntary bath composed of plain every day coal tar with goose feather trimmings. A number of men had plotted to give Jack a coat of tar and feathers, but at the last moment they became afraid of the future consequences and failed to put thelr scheme into execution. 1t is alleged by people living In the vicin- ity of Saddle creek that Munroe has a regu- lar habit of getting full of “family disturb- ance” and then going home and beating his wite. He has followed this custom with more or less satisfaction to himself, but about two years ago It is said that after he had brutally beaten his wife the neigh- bors severely punished him. This herolo treatment is alleged to have had the effect of reforming the man for a time, but he soon fell into his old habits agaln, and ono day undertook to horsewhip his wife in the strocts near Fortieth and Leavenworth, Dystanders ran to the woman's assistance and after giving Munroe a hard beating lot him go with the warning that they would glve him more severe lessons if he con- tinued his tactics, The man is the father of several children and ono little girl, who was never very strong, Is sald to have died last Saturday and rumors were toon circulated that while the child was sick she was sadly neglected. set the nelghbors to talking aud on Saturday night a number of men mot in one of the saloons in the bottoms and agreed to give him a coat of tar, It.was too late to make the attempt that night, so the date was fixed for last night. One man said that e would have the kettle of tar ready in the cemetery grove near Sixty-fourth and Center etreets, and one big man sald he would bring along a bag of feathers. The others were going to secure a bass drum and several ear-splitting horns, o that aftor the application of the extract of pineries and the feathers they would drum the man out of the vicinity. The crowd adjourned to meet ugain last night to put their plans into execution. The hour for the meeting w; to have been 10, All yesterday afternoon the matter was discussed by those who had knowledge of the secret, and there seemed to be no doubt but that the men would do as the About 9 last night a half dozen men met at the corner of Fortieth and avenworth streets and started in the di- rection of Jack's house, or where he is sup- d to be living. At Sixtieth and Center oty they met a aouple more men and went to a grove near the cemetery gate to awalt the arrival of the rest of the conspirators. After walting for more than an hour and re- celving no reinforcements they : concluded that there had been some mistake made in the program and went home. 1t is thought that the men would have earried out the plns of the meeting of Sat- urday night If their resolution had not be. come noised around, and they were afraid of elther a hot reception from Munroe or that the police wonld surprise them in the act There was a good deal of talk among the neighbors last night, but none of them appeared to be anxious o undertake to ex- ccute summary punishment on the object of their indign MAY 2 DAILY nr’}‘g MONDAY.

A preliminary hearing will be had tomorrow. loss FALLS CITY AFFAIRS, Thirtieth Anniversary of the Marriage of Judge and Mrs. Isham Reavis O) rved.

Graduating Exercises at Cozad. COZAD, Neb., May 20.—(Special to The Bee.)—The public sehools closed here Fri- day, and the first graduating exercises of the High school were held in the Methodist Episcopal church Friday evening. The class consisted of four young ladies, Misses Mary Larmon, Libbie Adams, Stella Buck- ley and Bessie Brown, who did themselves much credit by their appearauce and the high literary merit of their graduation essays. They were very beautifully dressed and the church was very tastefully decorated with the class colors—crimson and cream. A large audience witnessed the exercises, the church being crowded to its utmost capacity. The remarks of Mr. Charles Wake, a member of the school board, in the presentation of the diplomas, were very appropriate and well recelved. Cozad has reason to be proud of her public schools, which have been brought to a very high standard of excellence under the superin- tendency of Prof. A. E. Allyn, who has been in charge for the past four years. Everything Booming at Norfolk.

WASHINGTON, M 1. ~To the Morse- Coe Shoe Company, Omahn: I find in th Omal World-Herald the following line contributed by you “Where 18 St. Louls? far as desirable markets in purchase go are concerned we know of none this_side of New York, excepting Omaha. If western people cannot supply their wants in this market (Omaha), then let's go to making sandals and growing fig trees.” These lines made such an impression upon me that I cannot forbear writing you £ congratulations upon the sentiment tained thereln. Any one who has p the wholesale and retall houses of Chicago and Cineinnati wi scover just as good a market is afforded in Omaha for the me line of goods. When Mr. Coe took me through your immense plant in Omaha my eyes were opened to a fact, which, T regret to say, too few of our peo- ple realize, that in the Missour! river me- tropolis was to be found one of the largest boot and shoe manufacturing plants in the United States, fitted out with the best ma- chinery and ‘employing expert labor and paying zood wages to people who patronize home industries. By the way, the laboring people of a com- munity are the patriotic people, as a_rule, because they exclusively patront home in- dustry. Our wealthy people forget them selves at times and expend too much mone: elsewhere, The patronize-hom ndustry sentiment created in Nebraskia some time ago and developed by tk Manufactu 8 association has done much for the upbuild- ing of Nebraska. That policy should be d at all times and under all cireum- s, and it will be a question of but a rs when Omaha and Nebraska will filled with plants, and population and wealth will fnereass pro rata, I have no doubt but that in the near future Omaha will be one of the great cities of America. Today, notwithstanding the stringency of the times, her prosperity shines like a beacon-light in the surround- ing darkness. An er of good times is bound to come at 1 listant day, and when that fortunate period does arrive, Oma will be in ¢ the quickest start in the ra “Build up and patronize home industries” is a T again congratu- late you on your sentiment. D. H. MERCER. . s RICH GOLD STRIKE. Where fs Chicago? which to Mr. Mason Believes He Has Found Another Homestuko Property. Mr. H. C. Mason of Chadron, who is in 1 city, states that he is confident he has another Homestake property located at Lewiston, Fremont county, Wyo. Two east- ern men are assoclated with him in the enterprise_and they have been developing their find for the last two years. They have crosscut 100 feet through solid vein matter, which will mill from actual test $10 per ton in gold. It is a vertical vein and as yet neither wall has been reached. They have 50,000 tons of ore of the kind indicated exposed. At different times small bodies of ore have been struck that have milled from $60,000 to $65,000 per ton. The property, Mr. Mason says, is located right in_the heart of the gold belt adjacent to the famons Burr mine and the owners are contemplating putting a well equipped plant on the ground as soon as it can be hauled there, when the further work of de- velopment will be pushed rapidly forward. The find is regarded as insuring the future of the Lewiston gold belt and has already had an influence in attracting immigration to that quarter. Mr. Mason says that the only thing needed now is capital and ma- chinery to develop properties that seem to promise as much as that he Is interested in. P Movements of Seagolng Vossels, May 20.
