BIG DAMAGE SUIT IS DISMISSED
(Continued from page one) _
Eastwood until he appeared In his
office and told substantially the same
story as he told upon the witness
stand, which was directly opposite to
that made in his affidavit. He said
that he could show that Eastwood
sought (juimby out at Lead and in the
presence of several people told him
what he knew about the case and
volunteered to be a witness for him.
But that it was impossible to get wit
uesse&'bere now before the trial was
finished. lie said he would also need
other witnesses who would
testffv as to the condition of the car
and asked the court to either permit
him to withdraw a juror or to dismiss
the case without prejudice and let it
be .filed over again. The Burlington
attorneys objected to continuing the
case, insisting that it be dismissed
and brought over thus throwing the
costs upon the plain tiff. The case
was then dismissed without prejudice
and that afternoon a new case asking
for •64,000.00 was filed by Q trim by
through bis attorneys, which will
come upat the next term of court.
As Eastwood in his affidavit ad
mitted having committed perjury
Judge Dickson ordered that the
county attorney fiile a complaint
agkinst him charging him with per
jury which was done .and he was
arrested and is now confined in the
county jail.
WILL SETTLE BRIDGE DISPUTE
Holt County Board to Win Out in
Location of Bridge.
The members of the county board of
supervisors, accompanied by County
Attorney Hodgkin and former County
Attorney Whelan, went down to Nor
folk last Monday morning to confer
with the Boyd county board regarding
the location of the proposed state
aid bridge across the Niobrara
river, whloh has been hanging
fire tka past three years. Two
yetffsiitf the Holt county board de
cided upon locating the bridge at
Frita#* crossing and had the state
enftfie|ft draw plans for a bridge at
thlp '^laoe. Later, w~hen the
petsooitt of the board had changed,
thfcy also changed their minds about
looatioh and deolded In favor of Coon
lslind. A meeting of the two boards
wen held In this city and they decid
ed to lekve It to the people living in
the vicinity of the proposed bridge as
to whloh location was preferable, and
petitions'in favor of both locations
were emulated. The Coon Island
site received the most votes, but the
Boyd county board did not like to
looate It there and for that reason
the matter was held up and the meet
ing was held Monaky for the purpose
of dleldlng the matter. The following
from tlm Norfolk News tells of the
anion taken by both boards at the
meeting Monday:
“After a busy session between seven
Boyd county, seven Holt county su
pervisors and State Engineer D. D.
Price, In this city Tuesday night, the
controversy over the location of the
Paroball bripge on the Niobrara river
which has iwen hanging tire for over
three years seems now likely to be
settled in favor of the Holt oounty
representatives who voted emphatic
ally Tuesday night to have the bridge
located at Coon crossing "and no other
place."
"The Boyd oounty representatives
do not favor the location at Coon
crossing unless the responsibility of
keeping up the bridge at Farohall
be plooed elsewhere,but they announc
ed that they would favor that site If
they were assured they would not
have to keep up the present Parohal
bridge.
"State Engineer Price aided in
clearing the situation in bringing the
subject back to the Coon crossing site,
whloh now seems likely to be chosen,
"The attorney general will be asked
whether the Parchall bridge can be
abandoned. It this can be done, it
seems certain that Coon crossing will
get the new structure.
“Senator and Mrs. J, A. Donahue of
O'Neill were here enroute to Lincoln
in an automobile. While here senator
Donohoe called on the state engineer
and the supervisors of both counties.
Be said hq represented the people in
favor of the Parchall crossing. Oounty
Attorney W. K. Hodgkin, and E. H.
Whelan of Holt county, spoke in favor
of Coon croosing.
"In the Holt oounty party were:
M. P. Sullivan, O’Neill; F. O. Ham
merberg, Atkinson; David M. Stuart,
Stuart; John O. Hubbell, Inez; Charles
Fauquier, Bliss; Th. D. Sievers,

MARVELS OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
s —————
How Creatures Invisible to the Eye
Are Shown as Monsters.
Photographing the Invisible sounds
like a misnomer, but correct to say in
visible by the unaided eye. This com
plex and valuable science is revealing
wonders in the excessive.? minute,
and myriad objects, animate and inan
imate, are brought to view whose ex
istence has all along been unknown.
Two methods of illuminating the ob
jects'are^in use—strong light is pass
ed through very thin layers of the sub
stance or reflected from the outside
surface of thick masses and also from
the external portions of exceedingly
small opaque bodies. /
These solid particles can be placed
on glass slides or floated In transpar
ent liquids, as a drop of water be
tween two very thin glasses. Pinch
the glasses close together; there is no
danger of killing the smaller kinds of
animals, such as bacteria and micro,>es.
They have plenty of room iu a film of
water so thin as to be beyond imagi
nation. /
The magnifying lenses for expan
sion of images of these minute objects
require the most consummate skill in
manufacture, the microcamera like
wise, and the two combined are tri
umphs of human genius. The finished
products, the perfected pictures, are
highly educational. Many different
kinds of greatly improved glass are
now made in Jena, Germany, and
these have almost revolutionized mi
croscopy. And the wonders accom
plished by using the most sensitive
plates ever made, and these with many
different kinds of waves of light, are
almost beyond comprehension.
The “Arabian Nights” people are
eclipsed. Thus put a drop of stagnant
water on glass, lay a thin plate upon
It, press down,-and the layer of water
will be thin indeed. Put it under the
microscope, turn bright light through
the layer, pass this light into the very
small camera and lgt it fall on a pre
pared moving film; then the amazing
effect of animals in motion is to be
fixed on a film that is itself in motion.
This film, a long strip, is then placed
on rollers and unwound, so that it will
pass powerful projecting lenses in a
moving picture outfit.
Tills is, indeed, photographing the
unknown. Since man appeared on
earth no such aid to refined research
into nature's labyrinths has been dis
covered. Then a large audience can
see all that there is in a minute drop
of water on a screen from ten to six
teen feet in diameter. Totally invisi
ble creatures becpme monsters and
move with great rapidity before the
eyes of the people. Thousands of new
species of minute living organisms are
rescued from realms of the unknown.

In the Hawaiian Islands the natives

Changed With Time.
The word "affectionate” is an In
stance of how meanings change, for
an affectionate person was originally
the reverse of agreeable, the word
meaning passionate or willful. John
Knox in 1554 writes of "the govern
ment of an affectionate woman” being
“a rage without reason.” and a century
later another writer deplores the evils
of affectionate soldiers. And now, as
any nursemaid knows, affectionate
soldiers have no evils.—London Stand

Comparative
Digestibility
of Food A
Made with different Baling Powders
From a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests:
An equal quantity of bread (bisevit) was made ,
with each ofjhree different kinds of baAing powder—
cream of tartar, phosphate, and alum—and submitted
separately to the action of the digestive fluid, each
for the same length of time.
The relative percentage of the food digested is
shown as follows:
Bread made with -
Royal Cream of Tartar Powdery_
[TOO Per Cent Digested |
Bread made With
phosphate powder;_
j 68% Per Cent. Digested ] ,
Bread made with
alum powder:_
| 67% Per Cent. Digested f
These tests, which are absolutely reliable and
unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance
to everyone: Food raised with Royal, a cream of
tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely diges
tible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found
to largely retard the digestion of the food made from
them.
Undigested food is not only wasted food, but it
is the source of very many bodily ailments.
