School Land Lease Contracts, At tho recent session of the legisla ture, an act was passed which does away with the sale of educational, or school, land on and after July 9, the date it becomes a law. In an interview with the county treasurer upon this subject, we learn that he has been instructed by Hon J. V. Wolfe, commissioner of public lands and buildings, that, if holders of lease contracts desire to purchase such lands or any part of it, com plete application to purchase must be tiled with the county treasurer not iater than the clo6e of the eighth day of July. By "complete application to pur chase," it is understood, in the first place, that only holders of lease con tracts are entitled to purchase such lands. Party desiring to purchase must file his lease contract with the county treasurer and sign application for appraisement and sale of lands. and as soon as county commissioners or supervisers (the appraisers) make their return, there should be paid Lease rental to date of application to purchase. At least one-tenth of the principal. Interest on the remainder to the end of tho year. Give six per cent (6 per ct.) notes for unpaid prin cipal. All must be doce within the time ahove mentioned, in order to consti tute a legal filing for purchase. Has Cnrlons Views. Mr. Judge EaKer seems to have curious, or more properly speaking, unusual views about embezzlers. Now our teaching has all along been that a man who stole two dollars and a half always was railroaded to the pen for five or six years, while the financier who gets away with a few hundred thousand was treated to much consid eration, was given all the opportun ity possible to escape the law, and if it so happened that a jury mistakenly convicted him he was never permitted to become contaminated by being im mured in a jail. Judge Baker, how ever, says that the reason why a man is admitted to bail before trial is that he is presumed to he innocent, but that after conviction that presumption is no longer possible or plausible, and therefore to jail a man must go. And therefore Bartley went. This is so unusual that we think it is likely to be reversed. Lincoln News. The Mansion Above. (By an Observer.)

Wiffk .1 S SOAP i timing big projectiles. Bow Their Initial Velocity Is Calculated In Tests mt fcandy llook. To the iayman one of the interesting features in a big gnn test is the method by which the initial velocity of the projectiles is calculated. When he hears that the modern high power guns often expel a shot at an initial velocity of 2,000 feet a second, a rate that if sus tained would mean a mile in three sec onds, he realizes the difficulty of calcu lating the speed. An ordnance officer must have accurate knowledge of the velocity of a projectile, that he may pre dict its range and penetration and de termine the accuracy of the gun. It is a comparatively easy matter, however, with the new instruments to calculate accurately the initial velocity of a pro jectile, and any one who is fortunate enough to visit Sandy Hook wheu big guns are being tested may bco how it is done. Two open frames are set np 150 feet apart in front of the gnu. Wires arc stretched back and forth across thest frames, making a screen through which the shot must pass. The wires in each screen form a complete electric circuit, which includes also an electric battery and an electro magnet. The projectile, after leaving the gun, flies through the wire in the first screen, interrupting tho circuit and releasing the armature of the magnet. In a space of time so small as to be hardly conceivable tho projec tile has covered the distance between the two frames and pierced the wire in the second, interrupting its electric enr rent and releasing tho armature of its magnet, as in the first case. Hie inter val between the drop of these two ar matures represents the time ppent by the projectile in traveling 150 feet. This time is indicated by the chrono graph in the laboratory near by. Wires fun from each screen to tho laboratory, which is fitted np with batteries and switchboards. The armature of the first electro mag net is an iron rod about 8 feet long, which is suspended vertically. This rod falls when the second electro magnet in placed a little below the first, and when it is released it acts as a knife, and, striking tho side of the falling rod, makes a slight mark. The distance of this cuter mark from the end of the rod indicates the distance through which the rod has dropped while the projectile is passing from one screen to another. This forms the unit for tho calculation of the projectile's velocity in feet per second. New explosives and high power guns have increased the initial velocity of projectiles wonderfully in the last few years. Projectiles may be expelled now with a force that will make them effective at- a range far beyond ordinary eyesight New York Sun. Rich, bat Beautiful. a young man would contemplate If an ideal of useful living, we commend to him the address delivered by Carl Schurz at the funeral of William Stein way, the head of the great house of piano manufacturers. After referring to the fact that the dead man began his active life as a simple workman and in his success remained the ideal knight of labor Air. Schurz said: "Ho was a pattern as a rich man. I wish I could call the millionaires of the land to this bier and say to them, 'Those among you who lament that at times poverty looks with mutterings on riches learn from this dead mau. ' "His millions were never Legrudgod him. The dark glauca of envy never fell upon him. Covetcusiuss it.-ef parsed hirn by disarmed and riconi iicd. Yes, every one would have rejoiced to rce him still richer, for every one knew that everything lie got contributed to the welfaie of all. "No one fulfilled better than ho the duties of wen.':!) There was no puffed np pride cf pcEtcsfiieu, no extravagant prank of display. Simple as ever re- mained his being, modest bis mode cf ( life. But he knew one luxury, aiul Lc 1 practiced it; that was the luxury cf the liberal hand a princely luxury that few of the world's created have in- J dulged in more richly than he. "It was not money alone that he gave. It was the heart joy or mo genu ine benefactor, with which he bade the worthy welcome and often anticipated their wants. It was the bright cheerful ness of the willing giver who could con ceive no abuse of his generosity. "I have seen many men in my day, never a bigger heart. Is it too much to say that in this man every human being has lost a brother?" Youth's Compau ion. Cranky. The following conversation, which occurred in one of the city ticket offices a few days ago, is a sample, of the pleasant occurrences which a ticket seller experiences in the course of his career: - "Give me a time table," said a short man with a straight, hanging beard to the clerk. "Where do you wish to go?" "None of your business," was tho curt reply. A copy of the time table was passed to the man, and he took his leave. "That's one of those fellows who would complain of a conductor if he failed to say 'Please' when asking for a ticket," remarked the clerk. True Flag. Rotten Assessments. A lot of peculiar things are shown by the assessment abstract as made up from the reports sent to the state auditor from the various counties of the state, says the Bee's Lincoln cor respondent. The abstract would in dicate that not a single bicycle was assessed while the money invested in bicycles in this 6tate is becoming something immense. It is said that last year in some parts of the state bicycles were assessed, but that they were not listed under a separate head ing because the blanks did not in clude bicycles in the titles. . In Lan caster county, however, an attempt to assess bicycles was made last year, the schedules being remodeled for that purpose. The result was that from the country precints sixty-six bicycles, at $G05, were reported for taxation, while in the city of Lincoln 238 were found, valued at $3,144. In the fifth ward seventy-one bicycles were found, while this year the assessor failed to find a single wheel in that ward. The wheelmen of Lincoln boast that there are 5,000 bicycles in the city and none of them would be willing to esti mate the average value at less than $50. Another curious thing shown by the abstract is that last year there were but $19,515 worth of diamonds and jewelry in the entire state, and of this $8,041 was from Kearney county alone, indicating that that county owned almost one-half of the total amount of diamonds and jewelry in the state. The value on the same items in Douglass county was only $4,824, and in Lancaster county $645. Dakota county had no watches or clocks, no diamonds and only seven teen sewing machines, valued at $09. In Keith county there were forty-one watches and clocks, valued at eighty one cents oach, while Colfax county contained forty-ono timepieces valued at $294. Richardson county, one of wealthiest in the state, shows only about $15,000 deposited in b inns, while in some other counties not a dollar is 6hown, and apparently no bnnk stock is shown by citizens of tne county as sessed. A Close Call. Elmwood, Neb., June 23. Albert Teal, a farmer residing one mile west and one mile south of town, was out in the field cultivating corn this morning when a thunder sto: m cnino up. He unhitched, went to tho harn and put the horses up and had just started for the house when lightning struck the barn, instantly kitliner one of the i horses and injuring the other so that it will die. The barn was torn up con siderably, but did not burn. Mr. Teal is very thankful over his narraw escapo. Com to Nebraska City. The Plattsmouth News is trying hard to work up enough enthusiasm among its citizens to celebrate the Fourth of July as it should be. Bettor put it off another year and Platts mouth citizens should join with other citizens of eastern Nebraska and celobrate tho day properly. By coming here you will see all your neighbors and old friends and you can talk over o'.d times with them. You will surely miss it if you fail to come to Nebraska City on July 5 to cele brate.
