The caio of Asa Coleman, 'it ai. vs.
Tno Modern Woodmen of America has
neen on trial since yesterday in'dUtrict
eourt and will probably be submitted
to tbe jury this evening. Tho plain
tiff e in this case reside at Nehawka
and tho action waa brought to recover
insurance on a policy held by their
son, Varro II. Coleman, who lost his
life while firing on a railroad in Ohio.
By the provisions of the by-laws of
the orde. a member cannot recove r in
surance if he meets death while in the
employ of a railroad. However,
it is claimed by plainlitTs that as tho
subordinate lodg-j at Nehawka ac
cepted dues from deceased during the
lime he was employed on the road tho
order is responsible for the payment
for the amount of the policy. Mat
thew Goring appears for the plainlitTs
and J. (i. Johnson, tho Woodmen's at
torney at Keek Island, 111., appears
for tho defense.
In the caso of (J. Lawrence Stull vs.
School District No. 8 the jury re
turned a verdict in favor of th3 school
district.
A. H DRAY LOSES HIS MIND.
Adjudged limane liy the CoiiiiiilnHion himI
Taken to the Anylum.
The following, in regard to the mis
fortune of a former I'lattsmouth man,
will be learned with regret by his
friends in this city. Mr. Dray re
sided with his family in this city for
several years and was known as a
hard working man, being employed in
the Burlington blacksmith shop. He
was a member of the band and is the
father of Harry Dray, the well-known
printer, who is now employed on the
Auburn Granger. The following is
taken from the Havelock Times:
"A. H. Dray is now an inmate of the
hospital for the insane. Complaint
was made before the board of insanity
commissioners last Saturday and he
had his hearing last Monday. The
commissioners adjudged him insane
and ordered his commitment to the
asylum. The case is a sad one and
the sympathy of the town is with the
family who are amonr our best re
spected citizens. Mr. Pray is well
on in years and was an employe in
the Burlington bl icksmith shop both
at Plattsrnouth and here for a long
jieriod of time. He has been in failing
health for quite awhile ;md was forced
on this account t relinquish his shop
duties a few months ago. He became
more and more despondent and a
short while back made an attempt on
his life which the family frustrated.
He was kept from the asylum longer
than was safe and was only committed
when his mind completely fai'ed "'
A ltd Fall.
The little two-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Murray fell from
the second 6tory of their residence in
Mynard this morning, breaking the
left arm and sustaining other injuries.
Dr. W. H. Schildknecht was called
and waited upon the little girl, and
she is now getting along nicely and
her parents are rejoicing that the in
juries were no more severe than they
were, as the fall was a very dangerous
one.
At tho regular session of the county
commissioners in March it was decided
to abandon the use of the Nebraska
telephones in the court house entirely
and April 4 was the day set for their
removal. In accordance with the or
der they were all taken out today
with the exception of one and it will
he taken out as soon as the Platts
rnouth company has its lines con
nected with other towns in the county.
When the boird decides to dispense
with the use of an article they always
do so, as is evidenced by their action
in the telephone matter.

Stagnating Traditions of Ship-Building
lhe most Beecieu improvement on
warships at present is simpler me
chanism for all purposes that require
power. In nature we find that living
organisms, when they have no further
use for an organ that played an iin
pertant part in the life of their ances
tors, have the means of suppressing
or blotting out, as it. were, tbe useless
organ. Hut shipbuilders carry along
a lot of appendages hardlv ever used
at the present day.
The firm with which I am connected
is just finishing a warship for the
Japanese navy. It is lighted by elec
tricity. The generators ar e in tripli
cate, to insure against failure, and the
wiring is divided into several circuits,
so that only a portion of the lights
would be extinguised in case of f.iilure
in transmission. Vet, after all that
care, oil-lamps must ba fitted wherever
light is required, and,leit there should
b no oil in the lamps, three hundred
candlesticks must be furnished.
In the engineering department the
same duplication of methods for ac
complishing a given purpose prev lils.
The only thing remaining for which
but one method of ouernting is pro
vided is that of turning tho propeller,
which has com-) to be apparently of
less importance than the question of
how to handle feed-water pumps, fire
pumps, filters, heaters and the nu
merous accessories pertaining to what
used to be considered secondary mat
ters.
If the whole auxiliary system were
blotted out anil a fresh start made with
the simple purpose of meeting all re
quireraents as simply and directly as
possible.much cf tne present complica
tion could be avoided. G. W. Dickie,
in lhe Engineering M:ignzine for

KISSING IN RUSSIA,
Everybody Indulges lu It There Salut
Ing One's Servants.
It is said that in no other part of
the world is kissing so much in vogue
as In Russia. From time immemorial
it has been the national salute; indeed,
it is more of a greeting than a caress
says the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
In public affairs, as in private, the kiss
is an established custom. Fathers and
tons kiss; old generals with rusty
mustaches kiss; whole regiments kiss.
The emperor kisses the officers. On a
reviewing oay tnere are almost as
many kisses as shots exchanged. If a
lilliputian corps of cadets have earned
the Imperial approval, the Imperial sa
lute Is bestowed upon the head bo
who passes it on with a hearty report
to his neighbor, he in his turn to the
next, and so on through the whole
juvenile body. On a holiday or fete
day the young and delicate mistress of
a house will not only kiss all her
maid servants, but all her men serv
ants, too, and if the gentleman does
not venture above her hand, she will
stoop and kiss his cheek. To judge,
also, from the number of salutes, th--matrimonial
bond In these high t ireies
must be of uninterrupted felicity. A
gentleman scarcely enters or leaves th.-;
room without kissing his wife, either
on her forehead, cheek or hand
Family Extraordinary.
In the Harleian manuscript, Nos. 78
and 980, in the library of the British
museum, mention is made of the most
extraordinary family that has ever
been known in 'the world's history.
The parties were a Scotch weaver and
his wife (not wives), who were the
father and mother of 62 children. The
majority of the offspring of this pro
lific pair were boys.

ROOSEVELT ON
A Holdler of the Highest Type
Character.
There was one friend who was stead
ily in Washington, says Col. Roosevelt
In Scribner'H. This was an army sur
geon. Dr. Leonard Wood. I only met
him after I entered the navy depart
ment, but we soon found that we had
kindred tastes and kindred principles.
He had served In Gen. Miles' incon
celvably harassing campaigns against
;he Apaches, where he had displayed
puch courage that he won that most
coveted of distinctions the medal of
honor; such extraordinary physical
Mrength and endurance that he grew
to be recognized as one of the two or
three white men who could stand fa
tigue and hardship as well aa in
Apache; and such Judgment that to
ward the close of the campaign he waa
given, though a surgeon, the actual
command of more than one expedi
tion against the bands of renegade In
dlans. Like so many of the gallant
fighters with whom it was later my
good fortune to serve, he combined. In
a very high degree, the qualities of
entire manliness with entire upright
ness and cleanliness of character. It
was a pleasure to deal with a man of
high Ideals, who scorned everything
mean and base, and who also possess
ed those robust and hardy qualities of
body and mind for the lack of which
no merely negative virtue can ever
atone. He was by nature a soldier of
the highest type, and, like most nat
ural soldiers, he was, of course, born
with a keen longing for adventure;
and, though an excellent doctor, what
he really desired was the chance to
lead men in some kind of hazard. To
every possibility of such adventure he
paid quick attention.
ZANGW1LL IN SOCIETY.
Chicago Critics Not Entirely Satisfied
with the Novelist's Mauner.
Our friend of the ghetto, Israel
Zangwill, is not permitted to escape
without a little feminine criticism
from his own race, says the Chicago
Post. Indeed, it seems that Mr. Zang
will has been openly charged with an
exhibition of ghetto manners very
painful to the higher classes of society
in which he has been recently circulat
ing. We are inclined to think that
many of the monstrous things that
have been laid up against him have
been greatly exaggerated, although it
has never occurred to us that Mr.
Zangwill suggests the embodiment of
the graces of Chesterfield or Sir Philip
Sidney. Mr. Zangwill's position is a
rather peculiar one. He probably rec
ognizes the fact that many of the
ladies who are running: after him are
Influenced strongly by the lion-hunt
ing sentiment, and it is altogether
likelv that his earlv associations and
tastes give him an attitude of hos
tility toward the society end of his en
tartainment in America. Undoubtedly
he Is brusque and at timos offensively
blunt in his speech, and it is tolerably
certain that he never neglects the op
portunity to say a "smart thing," how
ever ill-advised and undiplomatic. But
we should hardly take him to be
man who would accept hospitality and
then sneer at his entertainers, al
though we have heard of literary men
from Great Britain who have erred to
this extent. Mr. Zangwill has a mission
In life, which he will in all likelihood
accomplish, and this mission has a lit
tle to do with feminine receptions in
the homes of the wealthy or with con
vocations around the samovar.
We believe that, like Hall Caine and
other eminent foreign authors, he has
come to America to sell books and
make money, and we fancy that he
"goes into society" merely as a part of
the business. It seems to us a cold
blooded proposition on both sides. The
ladles like the excitement of enter
taining a lion and the lion sometimes
forgets himself and emits the roar of
his jungle. But it all evens up at the
nd, and in a few days society and
Zangwill will each forget that the oth
er exists.
Oood Story ot Tom Reed.
A characteristic story is told of Tom
Reed, speaker of the house of repre
sentatives in Washington. The mem
ber from "Cohosh district" wanted Mr.
Reed to lend his influence to promote
the passage of a 540,000 grant for some
local purpose "up the creek," and
sought him out for an interview on ttie
subject. "Can't do it jest now," Thom
as Is alleged to have said to his be
whiskered caller. "Can't do it jest
now. Here we are buying yeller-bel
lies at $2 a head, and have just spent
$20,000,000 for about ten million of
em, and 540,000 would buy 20,000 more.
No, sir-ee, Bob, we can't repair turn
pikes when we can get yeller-bellies at
$2 a head."
Men will wrangle for religion; write
for it; fight for ii die for It; anything
but live for it, Col 'on.
