Cap't H. E. Palmer will uaiioubtedly

convention, enough support has already
been pledged him to make his success
practically assured. We append below
some farther testimonials of the state
press. TJie Oxford Standard says:
Capt. H. E. Palmer, of Plattsmouth, is
being boomed by a great many state
papers as a delicate to tho national re
publican convention. The Captain was
ono of our early pioneers and has long
labored for the best interests of his party
and the progress of his beloved Nebraska.
Ho would make a fitting representative
of our rapidly growing state, and no one
better than his Furnas county friends
would like to see him get there.
The Tecuraseh Chieftain roicing the
sentiment of Johnson county Bays:
Capt. II. II. Palmer, of Plattsmouth. is
receiving favorable mention for delegate
at large from this state to the national
republican convention. The captain is
well qualified for the position and would
prove an honest and capable delegate.
We have no doubt but the eld soldiers
and republicans generally of this county
would be glad to see him chosen.
Tho Fairbury Gazette leading republi
can newspaper of Jefferson county says
.Capt. Palmer of Plattsmouth is
tioued as a probable candidate for
gate to the Chicago convention
should be glad to see him chosen.

The York and Bradshaw Jltfjiater Ga

convention says:
From the State-at-Large' we are first

Y. M- C. A. Conference.
Considering tho dismal and damp
weather duiing the two days of confer
ence, held at Council Bluffs, the meetings
were small but full of enthusiasm. It
doesn't require a big crowd of earnest Y.
M. C. A. fellows to make a meeting in
teresting, because they arn't "long-faced
Christians. If any young man wishes to
enjoy himself he want's to join the Young
Men's Christian Association. The order
of exercises at this conference were as
follows: Saturday afternoon session was
held at the Y. M. C. A. rooms; the atten
dance was small but a good deal of in
terst was maniresteu. In the evening a
number of enthusiastic speachesin regard
to association work were made, in the
Baptist church, by several secretaries of
Iowa, and Mr. Jenner of Omaha. A good
young mens prayer meeting was held
Sunday morning at the Y. M. C. A rooms
and also an inspiring gospel meeting in
tlie atternoon. An interesting talk wa&
given by Mr. Spearce, general secretary
of Sioux City, Iowa, to the men of
Council Bluffs, Sund&v morning at the
M. E. church and in the evening at the
Presbyterian church. Anniversary ad
dresses, full of precious thought, were
delivered in the eveainir by Rev. Dr.
Phelps, at the Presbyterian church, and
Rev. Crofts, at the M. E. church.
It is to be hoped the time will mot be
far hence, when Plattsmouth may have
the pleasure of enjoying a Y. M. C. A.
conference or cenventiea. Mr. G. C.
Jenner of Omaha has kindly consented
to visit Plattsmouth in a few weeks, to
give its mem a stirring talk on the sub
ject of Young Men's Christian Associa
tion work. He is a man of experience
in this work and will undoubtedly have
some good news for Plattsmouth men.

A sample
As a saiaple of the general truthfulness
of the statements made against the Bur
lington company, we append the follow
ing from the "red rag" organ of this city:
"April 2329, C, B. & Q. The "flyer"
jumped the track going into Lincoln.
The baggage car dragged along on its
side."
The facts aro from one who was aboard
the train, that a part of the engine ran
of the track, account a broken switch,
but owing to the care and skill of the
engineer no damage whatever was done
to the tram which after a delay of about
thirty minutes went on its wy. The
baggage car was not even off the track.
Remember a truth fnl statement of this
matter will not appear in the Omaha Bee
or its feeble imitator here. Fully four
fifths of tho railroad accidents aro "news
paper accidents" only.

Origin of Earrings.
By the way, talking of earrings, puts
me in mind of an eastern legend which I
heard a short time ago about their origin.
When Ilagar ran away to escape the
wrath of Abram'a wife, so the story goes,
Sarai vowed that if her handmaid ever
returned she would cause her to be mu
tilated, thinking thus to destroy her
beauty and prevent her causing any fur
ther domestic infelicity. Time, however,
had the effect of bo cooling Sarai's wrath
that when Hagar came back and pleaded
with her she decided to forego her ven
geance and restored her ex-handmaid to
favor. But an oath was not a thing to
be trifled with, and as Sarai had solemnly
vowed to mutilate Hagar she was in a
quandary to know how to do this with
out injuring her or marring her fair face.
Finally she hit upon the expedient of
piercing a small hole in each of Hagar's
ears, and it is said that Abram, to offset
the pretty handmaid's punishment, pre
sented her with two beautiful jewels to
suspend from the holes. Her appearance
thus adorned so excited the admiration
of the other women of the tribe that the
wearing of earrings soon became general
among them. Jewelers Weekly.
Metal of the Ancients.
The ancients were acquainted with
seven metals which they supposed to

were known. Gold was called Sol or

lead, Saturn; copper, Venus; tin, Jupiter;
mercury, Mercury; Mining Review. ..

Compressed Air for Motive Power.
M. Victor Popp is making good pro
gress with his system of distributing
compressed air for motive power purposes
in Paris. The works for compressing the
air in the Rue St. Fargeau, at Mcnil
montant, are of considerable magnitude.
They cover an area of 15,000 square
meters, of which an extent of 2.00C
meters is roofed over. There are already
fixed and in operation seven steam en
gines of 400 horse power and two of IOC
horse power each, a total of 3,000 horse
power. The conduit3 have already been
laid over the whole area comprised be
tween the line of the boulevards and the
Rue de Rivoli. These aro sometimes luid
in trenches cut for the purpose an I some
times in the sewers. Tho total lengtli of
the pipes laid was at the end of last De
cember a little over thirty miles. This
source of power is used for working
electric light machinery in a larga num
ber of establishments, among which may
bo mentioned tlie Cafe Americain, tho
Cafe de Paris, the Cafe Anglais, the
offices of The Figaro and The Jardin
d'Hiver. New York Graphic.
Fsenmonla nnd Kindred Diseases.
The strong presumption is that much
of the affliction is caused by what are
called modern improvements in heating
houses. Nothing has taken adequately
the place of the chimney as a ventilator.
Open flues have grown fewer and fewer,
and the oven principle has been substi
tuted in the halls as well as the rooms of
the average ill ventilated household. To
walk outdoors is to suddenly transfer
the individual to another climate. The
over or ill regulated heating has been ac
companied by an increase of closet and
other drains that the utmost care ap
parently cannot prevent from affecting
the interior atmosphere. Our people
have beer made physically more tender
in various ways. They ride in warm
cars more and walk less than formerly.
The elevator has robbed them of salutary
exercise they used to take. Modern com
forts, 60 called, and conveniences are
probably being bought too dear. They
should either be made better or used less.

Borninff Solid retroleum.
According to The Revue Scientifique,
Dr. Kaufmann has succeeded in solidify
ing petroleum by heating it for the spaco
of half an hour with from 1 to 3 per
cent, of common soap, until the latter
has quite dissolved in the petroleum,
forming with it a homogeneous mass of
the consistency of tallow. Cut up in
cubes, this compound can be used as fuel
for heating purposes. It does not ignite
easily, but when once set on fire it burn3
steadily, slowly and smokelessly, leaving
a carbonaceous residue of about 2 per
cent, of its .weight. Solid petroleum
burns three times Blower than coal, but
yields a greater heat than the latter.
