SCIIUVI.KII , Neb , , Aug. 21 , To tlio Editor
of Tun DKK : Permit the writer hereof to
u n space in your vulunblo paper to refer at
this early date to an Item , which may bo mis
leading , In yesterday's issue (20lh ( ) of the
bchuyler Herald , ns follows ;
Mllrs.ontmevar wan In Kromont last Tliurs-
ilnr nnil soiiiii hiisylwdy miys ho IH HxliiK up
lilHfuuccN In the Sl\tli Judlulal district. Wull ,
what If ho Is ?
A great many false things have been snld
nbout the writer hereof , politically ana
otherwise , I considered too contemptible to
notice. Whllo I Imvo taken more or less In
terest in political affairs for over twenty-
olght years , over sluco I was a voter , I did
not como to this county and state , over
eighteen years ago , for a political ofllco , or
the money that was In It if 1 had , I proba
bly would have taken the ndvlco of others
and Identified myself nt the time with the
party In control of political nffuira In this
county then reeking with corruption , monuments
ments of which still remain visible.
And , by the way , I notlco that certain parties -
ties who were prominent. In the portv then
are prominent actors lu tlio Independent
party lu this county today.
I think I can say that In all those years I
never asked to bo elected as a delegate to tno
many democratic county and state conven
tions 1 have attended , nor did I over , with
possibly ono exception , request the nomina
tion for any oflleo , county or state. I am not
now lu any sense a candidate for the ofllco of
district judge or any ot&or ofllco at the com-
In if election. I'ostibly I could bold the icalos
of Justice with M much equipoise as some of
the "Uarkls ii wlllln' " attorneys of this dis
trict could or would do.
Always have been and am now in favor of
a non-pjrtlsan Judicial ticket but don't believe -
liovo oven In such matters , to gratify parti
sans to tlm extent , to tiso a rather vulgar ex
pression , of "tho tall wagging the dog. "
I could vote with a good conscience for the
re-election of Judges Post , nnd Marshall ,
both of w horn have exhibited Judicial quali
ties , meriting the respect and confidence of
the bar nnd reasonable met : generally.
Hut In view of the situation and location of
the respective gentlemen named , and others ,
I nm In favor of the nomination of .1ml po A.
M. I'ost of Columbus , and William II.
Mungor of Fremont , without any reflect
ion upon .fudge Marshall.
This may not bo good politics , but In flow
of the report about myself , I make this pub
lic statement ; but shall enter no scramble ,
nor resort to any political chicanery to carry
out my Idea of what the situation seems to
demand.
Personally , It Is with a little grim satisfac
tion I notlco the wry faces of certain demo
crats and others , through Whoo treachery
lafit fall the way was paved for Mr. Orima-
son's nomination for district Judgi. Respect
fully , MILES KSXMVCU.

CONOIIKSSMAN MASON AND THU Oltll' .
Congressman Mason of Illinoia , told a
story the other day of 'u somewhat re-
innrktible experience ho hud not long
ngo on tv one-horse railway i" tlio west.
"Thoro was only ono passenger car , "
ho said , "and it was full. So was tlio
conductor. At nil events I thought so
from the way ho addressed mo conuorn-
uiI ? a valise at my side.
" 'Tako that thing into the baggngo
car ! ' ho romnrkcd very peremptorily.
j IOOKCU at mm semowiinisiirpriscu ,
and without making any response.
u 'Do you hoar what I say'r" ho de
manded.
"Yes , I do , " I nnswored.
"lie wont away to collect some tick
ets. When he cnrao back nbout ten
minutes Inter ho looked angry.
"I thought I told you to take that
valise into tno baggage car , " ho yelled.
UI heard you , I responded mildly.
' Then why haven't you done it'r'
"Because I don't propose to. "
"You don't , oh ? "
"No , I do not , "
" 'The li I you soyl' ho roared. 'I'd
have you know that I'm the boss of this
train , and I don't put up with Impu
dence from no dudes. You snake that
biig out of hero or I'll chuck It through
the window In just two minutes. '
"At that moment wo slowed tip , approaching
preaching a station , nnu the conductor
went out on the platform. More passen
gers got aboard , and when ho came
back several persons were standing up
'n ' the aisle. I just sat still , wondoting
to have been culled a dude for the lirst
time in ray life.
'
" 'Wlmtl' shouted 'tlio ticket puncher
upon his return : 'Yo'u won't pay any
attention to what I say , oh ? Well , hero
goes ! ' t
"With that ho pickbd up the valise
and threw it out of'tli6 ' car window. Wo
were going at the raid of about fifteen
miles an hour at the time. I baid
nothing , nnd a quarter of an hour later
ho ctuno through ( igiin } nnd spoke to
me. Evidently ho had boon reflecting
and possibly ho had exceeded his
authority. i
" 'I wouldn't done '
have it , ho said ,
half apologetically , only you riled mo ,
and discipline's got tor bo maintained on
board : v train. '
" 'O , that's all right , ' I replied , with
entire composure. .
" 'Well , what are you going to do
about it ? ' ho asked.
" 'About what ? '
" 'Why , the bug. '
" 'O , nothing.11 said.
" 'But weren't Ha contents valuable ? '
' 'Idon't know , I'm sure , ' I responded.
" 'You don't know ? '
" 'No'I said. 'It wasn't my valise. '

TALKED TOO SOOtf.
A certain well known German physi
cian of the South Side , says the St.
Ixuis Republic , was the victim of his
own "previousnoss" the other day. He
had successfully treated a wealthy lady's
daughter for diphtheria , and the lady
was extremely grateful for it. When
the child was thoroughly well mother
and daughter appeared at the physician's
olllce. The little girl shyly handed the
physician a neat little knit purse , while
the lady went on to say : "For having
saved my child , doctor , I want to present
you with this purse. "
"But , ' , said the physician , after an
embarrassing pause , "I have sent you a
bill for $300. "
The lady flushed , then said quietly ,
'Lot mo have the purse , please. "
She took two S100 bills out of it and
returned it to him with the remark :
"Tlioro are $300 in thcro now , so your
bill is paid , " and left the room.
Now the doctor is cursing his clumsy
tongue for the bad break It made. That
little speech cost him just $200.

HEARSAY EVIDENCE.
An eminent lord chief justice , says
the Irish Times , who was trying a right
of way case had before him a witness ,
nn old farmer , who was proceeding tote
to tell the jury that ho had "knowod
the path for sixty year , and my fother
toula I ns ho hoard my grandfothor zay
" "Stop ! " ssjid the judge. "Wo
can't have any hearsay evidence hero. "
"NotI" exclaimed Farmer Giles.
"Thon how dost know who thy fothor
was 'cept by hearsay ? "
After the laughter had subsided the
judge said : "In courts of law wo can
onlv bo guided by" what you have soon
with your eyes , and-nothing more or
less. "
"Oh that bo biased for a tale ! " re
plied the farmer , ' 'fr ha' got a bllo on

A OATASTHOI'HK.
It is related by tl .Examtnor that ono
of San Frnncifieo'ffWominont citizens
was outing nt Lake Tnhoo a short time
ngo , and while there wont shooting.
Somehow the wild animals ho encoun
tered stayed such ashorltlino in any ono
place that ho missed every shot. Fin
ally ho brought up at at the cabin of a
mountaineer who was feeding a caged
wildcat ho had trapped the dny before.
Hero was a olianco to bring to the hotel
a gonulno trophy and Killed by his own
hand.
"How much will you take for that
boast ? " ho asked.
The captor said $20 , and the money
was paid over.
"Now , " said the Nimrod , "tie ono end
of a strong cord to that tree and another
to the cat's neck , und then open thu
cage. "
This was finally accomplished , and
.ho fierce animal stood straining at its
.other. The sportsman , who was watch-
ng tlio exorcised from' the interior of
the cabin , leveled his rillo across the
window-sill , took careful aim nnd blared
away.
The wildcat gave n joyful yell nnd
disappeared into the forest.
The bullet had cut the rope !

A Itrinnrknlilc 'Jjouomotlvc TeMotl on
the Alton Hontl.
A locomotive combining many now
and Important Improvements has just
been completed at the Alton shops ,
Bloomlngton , III.
Tlio two ends to bo achieved by these
now improvements are , first , the saving
of fuel by inoro perfect combustion ; the
doing away with the back pressure in
the cylinders caused by the contraction
of thu exhaust tubes at the point of dis
charge into the smokestack , in order to
produce the blast for draft , and the
abolition or partial abolition of the
smoke nuisance ; and , second , the com
plete lighting of the locomotive and Its
signal attachments by electricity , not
only giving ivmuch clearer and brighter
light than oil , but an illumination that
Is perfectly controllable In all parts and
In every way by the engineer and lire-
man.
man.The steam from the cylinder is ex
hausted into a pipe which , from the
cylinder to tlio stack , has tlio uniform
diameter of live ana one-half inches. It
is not contracted at the stack end as is
the case in nil locomotives in which the
draft is caused by the blast from tlio
cylinder. By reason of the use of this
uncontrneled pipe there is saved In op
eration all the cyliiidof'back pressure , "
which engineers claim and records show
is from six to fourteen pounds to the
snuare inch. The draft is siinnlind Inn
fan or blower , which also is instrumental
in bringing about increased combustion ,
by which the inventor , Mr , Cnvonor of
Chicago , believes ho can save somp 20
per cent of fuel , and decrease thu cost of
combustion from -15 per cent , which is
the accepted average , to something like
25 per cent.
The smokestack , which is shorter and
of greater diameter than the ordinary ,
lias wound about it two coils of two-inch
stutim pipe , each llfty-two feet in length ,
each coil having tin injector operated by
tlto btunni boiler. Into those coilb the
water from the tank is forced , instead
of directly into the boiler , and from
those coils which 1110 highly heated by
the discharge from the furnace and the
steam from the cylinder , thn water pass
es , tit about thu boiling point , into tlio
boiler , thus affecting a saving in fuel ,
representing the heat which would bo
necessary to raise cold water to 212 ° ,
and which neat In the ordinary locomo
tive is utterly wasted.
Surrounding the stack Is a boiler iron
casing of about twice the stack's diame
ter , which is perforated in front with
many holes. Through these holes and
at the top of the casing or exterior stack
is taken the air for the supply of the fur
nace , its reception being aided by tlio
motion of the train. It comes at once
in contact with the highly heated interior
'
rior stack und its 101 fcct'of steam heat
ed pipe , and ib also caught by the blast
of a Buffalo press blower.
A pipe connects the space between the
stack and its casing with the nsli pan
and through this pipe the heated air is
forced by the blower in a steady and
conducted How to the lire , furnishing an
abundance of heated oxygen and a
steady draft which takes the place of the
nltornatincr blasts of the cylinder ex
hausts. The superheated air is deliv
ered at the ash pan at a pressure of six
pounds to the square inch.
Tlio fan , or blower , which is instru
mental in this work , as well as the en
gine which drives it , are contained in
an extension of the boiler in front ,
which is about two feet long and , of
course , of the boiler's diameter. The
engine , which is entirely independent
in its steam supply , is compound , with
high and low prosburo cylinder. It is
of twenty-horse po'.ver , 'and not only
drives the blower , but propels the dynamo
name for lighting the locomotive. It
occupies fourteen inches floor space , and
is thirty-two inches high.
The little dynamo furnishing the
lighting current fills the space usually
occupied by the headlight , while the
headlight of the improved engine is
placed in the center of the boiler head.
It is lighted by a sixty-five candle power
Incandescent lamp , while the indicator
giving the number of the train and the
locomotive , and also the red signals
when in use. are .lighted by a sixteen
candle power , and the interior cab
lights and lights for illuminating the
coal chutes and tanks nro of ton candle
power. All of these lights are con
trolled from the cab. Thu red signals
are directly under the control of the en
gineer. The lights are bo connected
that it is ' 'one out all out" so that It is
Impossible for a signal to bo extin
guished without the whole locomotive
being placed in darkness and the en
gineer" being at once apprised. All
lights , outside and in , nro provided with
oil attachments for immediate use at
any time when needed. The steam for
the supplementary engine is suppled
through ono of the side hand rails ,
which is protected by asbestos , and the
electric connections between the cab
nnd the dynamo are made through the
other hand rail.
