NEBRASKA RELIQIOU8 FANATIC8.
Th "Fltjaltee" an Addition to the
Variona "Holineee" Boeietlea.
Nebraska hai addod another to the
rarloua "hollnwwr torlettrt with which
the land Is already OTwnin. The "Ygg-
Hen," as they rail
themselves, from
the name of their
leader, Louis Flgg,
are a lot of relig
ious enthusiasts
who bare banded
them selves togeth
er and lire In a
swamp near Gret
na, not so rery far
fram Omaha. Fso
pie In their neigh
borhood bare tar-
win noo.
red and feathered
threatened worse
haiilwl them Into
the leaders, have
blngs, and hare
rourt time and
again with little result, exoopt dl
orc i. The Figgltes say the Holy
Ghi(t,i watches over them anil tells
them what to do and assert that the
whole world Is not able to turn them
from what they regard as their plain
flaty. They consider themselves to be
the chosen of the Lord, and condemn
all other persons and sects to everlast
ing damnation. In spite of the fact
that the law is continually after th'.'in,
the society Is growing and may soon be
compelled to seek larger quarters. They
do absolutely nothing unlpus directed
by the "voice," and consider themselves
as being the very acme of perfection.
The I'igRH lived at Gretna some years
ago, and had money and a good home.
What started them on this fanatically
religious turn Is not exactly known, but
It Is a fact that suddenly both Flgg and
his wife showed signs of the "spirit."
and their house became the rendezvous
of many impressionable women who
developed Into enthusiasts as great as
the Klggs themselves. There were peo
ple In Gretna, however, who did not
think much of their doings, and booted
them out. A couple of years ago there
was considerable whltecapplng and af
ter a dose of tar and feathers Figg
gathered up his female adherents and
lied to a swamp, where he built a rough
hack, In which the crowd still lives.
Btrange to say, there are still found
women enough to keep the colony In a
Ute of healthy growth. They leave
good homes to go with Flgg to his mls
erable shanty, which contains but four
rooms, two below and two upstairs,
where they sing and shout and conduct
their fanatical ceremonies with less
regard for the proprieties than is called
for In a strict Interpretation of the
rules of law and order. These four
rooms are crowded always, no men be
ing among the enthusiasts except Flgg
and Uls two grown sons.
The first principle of the Flgg relig
ion Is regeneration by the Holy Ghost.
When that Is accomplished, the whole
fife of the devotee hangs on the "voice."
The "voice." which Is supposed to come
from the Holy Hpirit, directs every
move of their dally lives, and whaUver
the "voice" directs them to do, Is done
without question.
The Flggltes believe that all creeds
and forms of worship are wrong, as
well as any set way of meeting. They
have a way of working themselves Into
high state of excitement, when the
"voice" will command one of their
number to go and stir up a meeting be
ing held In some church near by. There
Is usually something doing of very
warm character when the fanatic
hows up and begins to denounce the
congregation.
NEW LOGGING METHODS.
Steam and Klectrlc Machine l.'aed to
Haul i.ngm in nininc Kuit.i..
A few years ago, when some one sug
gested nn electric railway from Moose
bead lake tip the valley of the Alle
jash river. In the very heart of the
northern Maine woods, the project was
ridiculed on every hand ns impossible
it execution In such a rough country,
even If I here would be any business
for the road when It should have been
constructed. Now, however, a trolley
ystem Is In successful operation In the
fead river region In the roughest part
f Somerset County and is engaged In
hauling heavy loads of upruce logs a
greater burden than any ordinary elec
tric line has to carry, writes a Bangor
correspondent of the New l'ork Trlh
one. The electric log hauler Is the Inven
tion of A. O. Lombard, of VVnterville,
who Is a mechanical genius and has
made a fortune from various Inven
tions In the last (en years. 8ome years
I go Mr. Iimbard conceived the Idea of
building a steam log hauler and made
I careful Investigation of the subject
before he begun work upon the machine
that he had In mind. He found that
more than fifty years ago a Maine man
bad built a stenm log hauler, but that
It had failed to work on account of
lome manifest faults In Its construc
tion. This first steam log-hauler had
I boiler and engine mounted upon a set
of driving wheels five feet In diameter,
with spikes In the rims of the wheels
to prevent them from slipping, but
when the machine wns hitched to n
load of logs the bearing of weight was
n so small a portion of the rims that
the wheels whirred around like those
f a locomotive on a wet rail, while
the spikes would dig so deeply Into the
mow that the mnrMne would become
italled In nolle ' ts own making
and be unable .. m" e Its own weight,
not to apeak f wad of logs.
To obvlcU W. difficulty Mr. Im
bard provided his machine wltb a sort
f self laying rail aet of endlesa
lag, carried on ball Issarlnga which,
while preventing the wheels from dig
ging: Into the anow, afforda them a fric
tion bold, giving traction power anfll
rltnt to draw loads of loga aggregating
10,000 feat Tha forward end of the
ttar carried by a aled, to which la
attacked a pole. A pair of borate la

hitched to this pole and driven ahead to
guide the machine, but the horses do
no hauling.
COUNTESS IN MISFORTUNE.
Financial Reeereee of Ladr Dndley.
Noted Knglieh Beauty.
Reckless extravagance, which an In
come of $T00,000 a year could not sat
isfy, has led to the financial ruin of
Georglana, Countess of Dudley, who
for a score of years has been consid
ered one of England's most beautiful
women. Lady Dudley has sold her
magnificent home In London, which
cost nearly 1200,000 to decorate, to J.
Tlerpont Morgan, and only a short
time slnee was compelled to dispose
of her famous jewels, they bringing
$450,000 at auction. Her husband, the
late Earl of Dudley, who wns Insane,
had a passion for beautiful Jewelry,
and at one time he had one of the finest
collections of precious stones in the
world. He was Immensely wealthy,
his Income being about $2,000,000 a
year. His son, the present earl, fell
heir to this vast estate, but squander
ed much of It In extravagant living.
Lady Dudley had been a leader in Lm-
GKOROIA.NA, COVKTFSB OF DUDLEY.
don's exclusive society for many years,
and there were many brilliant social
functions at her home. When her son
married, her Income of $500,000 was
cut down to a tenth of that sum, not
nearly enough to maintain her In the
way she was accustomed to live. At
one time It was said that she was en
gaged to marry Dr. Jameson, and there
Is no doubt that the late Cecil Hhodes
once was a suitor for her hand.
THAT WORD "LOAFER."
Question on to the derivation I'ecom
inic Acute In London.
The question as to the derivation of
that word "loafer," which Mr. Ithodes'
will is likely to elevate from the slang
dictionary, is already getting acnte,
says the I-ondon Chronicle. Despite
"Notes and Queries," and the deriva
tion, through Hans Hreitmann, from
"that lofer (lover) of yours always
hanging around here," the word is
Spanlwh, and, like galoot and others,
came from Mexico, through Texas to
the States. It Is the Anglicized or
Americanized form of gailoferro, "nn
Idle, lazy vagabond." passing, as any
student of Hartlett knows, through
glofero, and glofer, to lofer, and end
ing up with the pretense of having
something English or American about
It, as "loafer," a man who hns no
casual connection with the loaf he
does not earn. Of the lonfer, Josh
Killings has given In his "Alminax"
a description which would have gone
to Cecil Ithodes' heart, as of the type
of man who wns not to Inherit Dal
hnm, or any other property that wns
ills, If he could help It: "The loafer
Is a thing who Is willing to be de
spised for the privilege of abusing
others. He occupies nil grades In so
ciety, from the Judge on the bench
clear down to the ragged creature
who leans against lamp posts and
fights flies In August. He has no
pride that Is worthy and no delicacy
that anybody could hurt. During his
boyhood he kills cats and robs hens'
nests. During middle life he begs all
the tobacco he uses and drinks all the
cheap whisky he can get at somebody
else's expense, and does die at last"
The loafer In America would seem to
Fie more pronounced than his British
brother, If we take Henry W. Shaw
Josh Millings ns authority.
The llenrflt of the Doubt.
Quizzing a boy Is not always so easy
as It seems. The Cincinnati Enquirer
gives an Instance in which a man
nHiued .Smith came out second boat In
a passage at repartee wltb a boy
named Claude, who looks after the
hat-rack In a well-known restaurant
Mr. Smith started out of the restau
rant after enjoying his meal, and was
seized, as Claude handed him his bat,
with the Impulse to quiz the lad.
"Is this my hat?" he asked.
"I don't know, sir," was the an
swer. "Well, then, why do you hand It to
me If you don't know whether It la
my hat or not?" asked Mr. Smith,
sharply.
"Because It'a the one you banded to
me when you came In," answered
Claude.
Killing Christiana In Turkey.
A recent report shows that 2,600
Christiana were murdered In 1901 by
the Turks. In only sixty-one cases
were the murderers punished and then
