Tiik Journal is informed by sev
eral members of the school board that

unanimous in the assertion that just
as soon as the treasury will permit,
the salaries will be raised to the old
figures.

Friday was the sixtieth birthday
anniveisary of Landlord J. M. Wood
son, of the Cottage house, and some
time durinz the day somebody sup
posedly a tramp celebrated Jim's
natal anniversaiy by entering his
house and swiping his gold bowed
spectacles. The specs'" were valued
at SS, and Jim will probably give half
that amount to get his hands on the
man who took them, and we'll bet that
he will cause the fellow to think that
he is the -huskiest"sixty-year-old rnau
that lives in this part of Nebraska.

through the air to the tune of a two or
three "bagger."'
The Kelly army, which started down

ticipated. At the towns of Dunreath

when the army had its meal Friday
the people at first absolutely refused
to sell a tiling. Kelly hunted up a
deputy sheriff and flatly informed him
that if the army could not purchase
food it would take it by force. The

to sell the supplies needed, for the
army was numeiotss enough to have

Wave Allen's Latent.
Lincoln News: "Wave Allen, who
is something of an eccentric genus, and
has worked several ingenious patents,
has gone after big game. He has
nearly completed designs for a fright
ful implement of war that will prove
an unmitigated tenor ' belligerents
if it fulfills his ardent expectations.
It takes the form of a war engine and
is operated by ste.nn. It travels on
four w he Is and w hen leady for busi
ness can be headed toward the enemy's
camp and left to do its bloody work
with the full assurance that i;o call
for retreat will ever cause it to turn
back. As it goes it will throw intothe
enemy's ranks torpedoes that will ex
plode at the proper moment and tear
everything loose in that vicinity. It
i ill carry and discharge several hun
dred of these torpedoes as it moves
toward the enemy, and to prevent the
possibility of capture by the enemy it
will blow itself up as soon as its mis
sion is accomplished The moment of
its explosion can tie timed to suit the
distance it will have to travel, and it
is so constructed that any effort to
stop its forward progress will cause it
to explode. Th torpedoes that it
throws are ali-o a special invention of
Mr. Allen, and can be charged with
powder, dynamite hi.i1 other explo
sives. They can be made at remark
ably small cost, as can also the ma
chine or war engine. as the inventor
calls it. The invention which he ap
plies to the torpedo, he says, can also
be applied to vaults and safes in bank
ing houses and so regulated that they
will be perfectlj safe for the man who
understands them, but certain death
to the man who undertakes to culti
vate an unauthorized acquaintance
w ith them. The principle can also be
applied to any small chest or box or
valise in which one wishes to carry
valuables, and so regulated that no
one stands any show of being injured
unless some novice undertakes to
open the thing.
"Mr. Allen is quite sanguine that
he will meet with favor from the au
thorities of warlike nations as soon as
its merits are explained to them, and
expects to make an effort soon to se
cure the aid of capital in the develop
ment of his invention. He says it will
not require a great deal of capital, and
he expects to secure it in Nebraska.'"
