LEADING ARTICLES ARE CLIPPED Xanrirriln of ttrnnrt nnit I'nmiililrtu ml In livery Vmr, Jinny of Willed Arr full of Inlrr rallMK Information.

Although there Is no means of prcscrv- Ibk the Iloston, New York, Chicago and Ean Francisco dnlllcs and other leading uswspspcrs that arc received at the library there Is much of permanent value In each of these papers, which Is clipped and placed li Ullnc cases for reference. When the mall Is received each day the assistant librarian examines the papers and marks articles of general Interest. As soon as tha papers have been read assistants go through them and cut out all tho marked matter These clippings are then classi fied and placed In reference boxes. Through the newspaper clippings tho library Is ablo to supply the great demand there Is for roference matter concerning current events and topics that are not treated In encyclopedias and nre so re cent that tho magazines have not discussed thm, Since the beginning of the Spanish American war the reference department of tho library has been besieged by per sons who wanted Information concerning the new possessions of the United States Photographs, articles of travel and sta tlstlcs concerning I'orto Hlco, Cuba and the Philippines were cut from all sorts of publications and supplied In a measure the domand for this sort of literature. During the Droyfus trial tho library would have been unable to furnish Its read n with Information concerning tho fa mous case had It not been for the com prenenslve articles that tho newspapers fu-nlshcd In advance of the deluge of mag eclne articles and books that were pub lished later. A caroful scrutiny of the leading nowspapcrs afforded tho library photographs of all tho principals In the caso and hundreds of clippings that con tained tho data demanded by the public CllppliiKa for Ani'pntor Hunter., Different papers furnished articles of an entirely different character. Tho Iloston Transcript, for oxamplo. Is particularly valuable to tho Omaha library on account of the excellent genealogical articles It contains. These nro carefully preserved and are filed away for tho use of ancestor hunters who aro anxious to Jain the Sons of the Revolution, Colonl.il Dames or oomo other organization which demands a ped ltree. A well known Omaha woman, who was In quest of data of this sort, approached ono of the attondunts of tho library a few weeks go and requested assistance In construct Ing a family tree. Tho courteous assistant inquired the nnmo of tho woman's grand mother. Thcro was an ombarrasslng allcnco nnd tho family trco was uprooted by the woman's announcement that she dldn know tho name of her mother onco ro moved. And the library assistants aro tin kind enough to say that Max O'Koll had the best of it in his famous controversy with Mark Twain. nesldes tho publications that tho library subscribes for, thcro aro hundreds of pam phlnts and marked copies of papers received every month. Many of theso contain polltl cal discussions, facts of Interest to labor statisticians and other information which somebody has Been lit lo bring to tho at Untlon of publio libraries. All mall of this description Is examined carefully. Val liable articles from sample copies of papers are preserved and pamphlets ore filed away anil Indexed. No more vnlunble matter comes to a pul lie library than that which Is contained in the pamphlets Issued by tho government In these publications are to be found treat lues on all subjects of general Interest. Agrl culture, tarrm, currency, science, com merco and kindred subjects are discussed by tho most capable writers In America flreat rare In taken In Indexing nil these tovernment publications and many of them am bound and put In condition for general elrculallon. A bill was recently Introduced In the nrltlfh Parliament granting trustees of the Jlrltlsh Museum the right to destroy value less matter In the llrlthh Museum. It Im mediately called fortli tho criticism of II hrarlann and scholars In nil parts of the world and will no doubt bring about the en largement of the museum and the preserva tion of matter that bus been accumulating for centuries. Sidney fce. who headed the piotcst ngalnst the bill, brought out the fact that this valueless matter which was about to bo destroyed consisted chiefly of old colonial and piovinclal newspapers, which are of the greatest value to all students of htBtory.

The Hyron Heed collection ' In the Omaha public library cuutntns the flies of tho first papers published In Omaha anil the fact that these have proven to valuable to stu dents of the early history of Omaha proves that papers should hot be destroyed by li braries which have facilities for curing for ihem. Tho New York public library nnd the Astor library have adopted the policy of preserving thn great body of matter that comes to them. The Congressional library nd tho Now York State library preserve even tho advertising sheets of newspa pers and magazines and Dr. Hillings of tho Now York Stale library says they have proven of value In that they show the so rial history of tho time In which they were printed. Libraries which nro particularly li.ter rtcd In politics spare no pains in collect ing all literature Issued by campaign com mittees of tho different poltlcal parties. Pamphlets on freo sliver, socialism, pro- tectlvo tariff nnd anarchy, pamphlets of the sort that Is bandied about the street by politicians, aro highly prized b Dr. nilllngs of tho Now York State library. Fuch matter as this Is seldom mailed to libraries nnd many Institutions And trouble In collecting it. Tno I'ongrcsstonai Horary makes use nearly all kinds of printed matter Even patent medicine literature Is sought by the library and turned over to the sur geon general of the army. Iteports of life Insurance companies, raltrotds and other corporations find a place In the referen. department of the great library Summer resort literature Is preserved because of Its topographical interest Thorough librarians who have unlimited space at their disposal hesitate to throw away any sort of material. What Is of no Interest to one person may be of greatest Interest to another. Tho patrons of a public library are from all walks In life and havo such different wants that there any sort of matter may be Bought. What seems to bo the ephemera of one day fre quently furnishes valuable material for study In another. Low Prices on Good jBl urn iture uruvr riJATrans ok i.ifk.

The state supreme court of Michigan Is called upon to settle a curious case. One Thompson wus sent to tho penitentiary at Jackson nnd was put to work for the Hronk-Huftlngton Shirt company as a leased convict.

The coming of suburban electric rail ways In Douglas county promises to rovolu tlonlzu the methods of farming. Tho agri culturist of the twentieth century may see his market brought to his very door by the rapid freight carriers. It is tho opinion of the county commissioners that freight should bo handled as well as passengers anil that In this part of tho trndle lies the greatest benefit to tho agricultural class. While they wero absent on their trip of Inspection through tho east, the commis sioners made Hpeclal Inquiry on thn point of hauling freight. If the suburban line project comes to a happy Issue, as all sUns seem to promise at thin time, the commis sioners will lay particular stress on the freight service. The carrying of merchan dise has been limited to fruit and garden produce In eastern cities, but the commis sioners see no reason why tho plan should not bo extended. 'In the many roads running from De troit to Fort Huron, Ypsllantl anil olher points," said Commissioner Oslrum, "there Is often a ear given up for half Its length to freight nnd baggage, tho other half being reserved for passengers. There aro a few cars devoted entirely to freight, but this branch of the service has not been fully developed, as no heavy cargo Is carried. For the most part the freight cars contain milk, garden produce and fruit. "Tho renson for tho npparent neglect of freight trnfllc on theso eastern roads proh nbly Is that tho farmers havo no such harve'st of corn to tnko caro of as that which falls duo nnnunlly In Nebraska. If the Douglas county road Is built In n loop, touching nt South Omaha and other points, there Is no renson why tho farmer could not unload his cattlo or hogs nt the market nt nn hour's notice. At present a farmer loads four qr five hogs in n wagon nnd consumes a half-day in getting thorn Into the South Omaha pens. If an electric enr wero titled up for the purpose tho stockman could drive fifteen or twenty hogs over tho chute Into the car and glvo the matter no further thought. It would hardly bo practlcablo to run tho cars in n train on nccount of tho grades which coino thick nnd faBt in Douglas county, but they can still do good service ono at a time." Ilofelilt I'm "UN Projert. Commissioner llofeldt said ho had not lookeil into tho subject of freight service on suburban roads fully, but ho sees many points in its favor. In order that tho freight tralllc may not Interfero with tho ordinary passenger servlco Mr. Hofcldt suggested that tho cattlo ami grain, If tho venture Is extended that far. be hauled at night. The hnullng of heavy loads of this sort would bo largely nn untried ex periment, Mr. Hofcldt said, but If the plan were successful It would work an Immense saving to tho farmer. Horses, wagon and driver would bo spared and muddy roads would be n matter of no account. Commissioner Connelly, who Is ono of the active promoters of tho suburban railway project, bollovcs also In the merit of a freight department. Freight of a limited nnd light character, ho said. Is constantly traiiBforred from I'ontlac, Vpsl luntl utid Fort Huron to Detroit. Tho freight cars nro well built and resemble baggage cars. Their principal cargo Is eggs, poultry, garden products nnd frultB Mr. Connelly Inquired in several quarters why heaTler freight was not carried, and found that there was small domand for that sort of service. He saw no reason why such facilities, however, could not be put at the disposal of the Douglas county farmer. The other commissioners did not have tho advantage of Inspecting tho methods In vogue In othor cities, but are willing to push the freight branch of tbo suburban ' service Just us fust as It Is appreciated und proves profitable to the farmers, A.
