NEBRASKA NOTES PARK CANNOT SEE STRIKE. Thinks Idea Preposterous — Strike Would Hurt Public. OMAHA — General Superintendent Park of the Union Pacific, discussing the labor difficulties on the Southern Pacific said: ‘‘I know the firemen on the Gnion Pacific and they, are undoubtedly as ioyal to their organization as any men can he. At the same time they recently made an agreement on the wage question with the comrany for two years and they not having any grievance makes it preposterous to think that they would take part in an affair that does not concern them. ‘‘I can understand how the strike on the Southern Pacific might extend to: Sts immediate connections at tne seat' of trouble, but I cannot figure out .how it could reach the Union Pacific' lines. I know that none of the or ganizations here, or along the lines, favor such extension of the strike. The public would be bitterly opposed to it, as the inconvenience and bur den would fall heavily upon tne peo ple, and I do not believe our men would bring this inconvenience about just to help the firemen in Texas." Mr. Park says the coal situation i9 now in good shape and at all the towns pa the line there is a fair supply of fuel. The company is hurrying coal to all points and there cannot be a shortage unless there should be a strike, followed by severe weather. In that event it is hard to say what the result might be. OVER THE STATE. ,J7 Geneva's new library has been opened to the public. Joseph F. Tinkler, the young man who was drowned in Cut-off lake near Omaha, resided in Beatrice for many years before going to Omaha. He was a graduate of the Beatrice high school. The Beatrice fire department has closed a contract with Miss Gilbert of New York to give a home talent p?ay there the latter part of January for the beneSt of the firemen's monument fund. Business men of Humboldt report the holiday business unusually good, with the possible exception of heavy winter goods, for which the demand was not strong owing to the mild weather. The seniors of the Fremont high school this year will be required to prepare orations whether or not the school board decides to require them to appear before an audience at the theater when the annual graduating exercises are held. An assault and robbery occurred at Holdrege. in which William Thomp son was beaten over the head with a whisky bottle and robbed of about 1170 by a man named Harvey Patrick. The victim of the assault is under the doctor's care, while Patrick is still at large. Though the last in the list of coun ties. York is the fiist to make its an nual report to the state treasurer. County Treasurer R. R. Copley sent in his report, showing he had collected during the year state taxes to the amount of $40,3S6.36, of which $5,084.08 was sent along with the report. The Missouri river is fast cutting away the farm lands in the vicinity of Minersville and it is now so near the Burn net on railway tracks and the sta tion that surveyors were sent down there to ascertain how far back the tracks, station and stock yards will have to be moved to be safe from the inroads of this everchanging body of water. The horse thieves who are opera ting in this vicinity, says a Norfolk ►, dispatch, have again shown open de - fiance towards the recent*y organized Anti-Horse Thief association ana HSt night stole another team. The victim is a farmer south of Norfolk near the Stanton county line, named Best. The association has been unable to trace any of the many thefts and it will g3 hard with the first culprit who comes into their hands.

The company has been having a big rut this season. The beets have been oi a high quality, the tonnage per acre above the average, and it was hopec that they would be able to get oi their feet again.

Army Officer Says It ;s Not Safe to Wear Tl»em There. ^oii do not find anyone wearing overcoats in Alaska, even in the win .er, said Maj. F. M. M. Beall, recent ly returned from that territory. 'The principal thing to be careful tbout is keeping the head, hands and eet warm. In that part of Alaska where I have been the only land transportation is by dog sleds and to follow them one has to drop into a dog trot beside the sled. “An ordinary suit is plenty thick enough to keep you warm and an overcoat is dangerous in that temper ature. Trotting alongside a sled wear ing an overcoat would make you per spire and the bitter cold would r’reeze the perspiration. “The men there wear a fur cap that covers every part of the head and face except the eyes and there is only a little peep-hole for them. Wool lined mitts are worn on the hands and moccasins with woolen stockings on the feet.” Maj. Beall has been three years in Alaska, commanding Fort Gibbon, the garrison consisting of two companies of the Third United States infantry. He is now on leave of absence. “Fort Gibbon is 900 miles up the Yukon river and 75 miles south of the THEN t’HEY PASSED ON.

His parents encourage him to express his opinions, and clear up his doubts as much as possible.

Didn't Like His Tombstone. W. W. Mayes of near Thompson, who is in his eighty-eighth year, has sued his daughter. Mrs. Eliza Givens, for $97.50, which he claims he loaned her, to be returned when he requested ' it. says the Columbia Herald. Mrs. Givens acknowledges that the i money was paid to her to purchase a tombstone and to meet her father's funeral expenses at his death. The money was given to Mrs. Givens years ago. and it was in gold. Recently Mrs. Givens bought a monument for her father for use when he should die, paying $G0 for it. and her father saw it and approved of the bargain. But iatelv he changed his mind abont the matter, and the action was recently taken into court. The jury awarded plaintiff judgment in the amount of $50, defendant to pay the costs.

Some ex - periments recently carried out tend to j p prove that while spices stimulate the : i motor functions of the stomach, they f progressively impair the secretory •- functions, and in the long run inhibit p the production of hydrochloric acid. On the whole, therefore, the ingestion of spices hinders rather than aeceler ates digestion, though an exception may be made in respect of persons in whom slowness of digestion is due tc j a deficiency of muscular activity on the part of the stomach, and also pos sibly of the victims of hyperacidity.

SIMON GUGGENHEIM TO BE SENA TOR FROM COLORADO. After Wait of Ten years and Expsndi- ! ture of Over 91,000,000 Smelter Millionaire Will Enter Na tional Congress. — Ten years of patient work, coupled j with the expediture of a sum not ' less than than $1,000,000 and perhaps , a great deal more, will result in the gratification of the ambition of Mul timillionaire Simon Guggenheim. The i state legislature will elect him Unit- j ed States senator to succeed Thomas 1 M. Patterson. His election is absolutely assured, i notwithstanding the grumbling of some of the other candidates and the j absence of President Roosevelt's in- ; dorsement. Guggenheim is spoken of by his nemies as the ‘'smelter trust senator,” but his friends call him the savior of the party. Eleven years ago. when he came here, the party was in bad shape. Every county committee in the state has received his aid. It is expected that every Re publican county newspaper and many Democratic county newspapers will print editorials justifying Guggen heim's election. Richard Broad. Guggenheim’s man ager. has taken extraordinary precau tions to prevent any senatorial inves tigation of the huge expenditure. Mr. Broad is a great sportsman, and it is said he often has made wagers that some candidate he wanted elected would not be elected, giving odds of several hundred to one. He always lost such wagers, which were invaria bly in connection with the election of some member of the legislature. Former Senator Wolcott was the most formidable foe with which Gug genheim had to contend, and his death opened up the way for Guggen heim to the senate. Guggenheim never makes political speeches except by proxy. He never gives interviews on anything except mining or Colorado's great future. His political opinions are an enigma so far as the public is concerned. He and his manager have devoted their entire attention for years to the legis lative ticket Last year he gave to the state school cf mines Guggenheim hall, cost ing $50,000. He always gives a news boys' Christmas dinner. These, with his contributions, are the sum total of his claims on the toga. His friends, when asked why he should be chosen answered: “Why, he saved the party in Colorado.” Guggenheim is 39 years old. He came to Colorado in 1SS9, but it was not until 11 years ago that he moved from Pueblo to Denver and began lay ing his wires for the senate. In 1S98 Guggenheim wa3 nominated fcr governor of Colorado by the silver Republicans. He also had the indorse ment of the People's party, but he declined, although he would have been elected. He made an efTort to become a congressman, but the sen ate was the prize he always has cov eted. Guggenh*im is one of seven broth ers known as M. Guggenheim’s Sons. They dominate the smelting business of the country and practically con trol its silver output and a considera ble portion of the copper -production. They own the Guggenheim Explora tion company, which has developed immense mining properties in Mex ico and the far west, and which has Simon Guggenheim. (Next United States Senator From Colorado.) a vast enterprise now under way for making the mineral wealth of Alaska accessible. Simon Guggenheim has been the western representative of the family fcr nearly a dozen years. K’s has a knowledge of the smelting business and is regarded as one of the ablest mining experts in the country. So enormously has the wealth of the family multiplied in recent years that men familiar with the facts hesitate to say any figure, fearing to expose themselves to a charge of exaggera tion. They assert that the combined wealth of the seven brothers runs into the hundreds of millions. The coming senator is next to the youngest of the seven brothers. He was born in Philadelphia December 29. 1S67. He was educated in the pub lic schools of Philadelphia and grad uated from its high school, and was then sent abroad by his father to pick up a knowledge of foreign lan guages and the business methods of different European countries.

RAILROAD UP THE ALPS. Stupendous Scheme Planned By a Swiss Syndicate. A serious scheme to build a rail- j way almost to tn* summit of Mont 1 Blanc range has been prepared by a j Swiss syndicate, and has received the ! approval of the French government. The projected railway will provide i “the greatest thrill on earth," taking ; passengers to the roof of Europe. The syndicate, which has obtained the concession !s at present complet ing an aerial line to the summit of j the Wetterhora It now proposes to 1 build a similar line from the valley of Chamonix to the summit of the Aiguille da Midi, a peak nearly 12,000 feet high. In the center of the Mont Blanc range. According to the contract, an or- I dinary funicular railway will join the ! existing system at Chamonix. The double aerial cables will begin at the Brit Alpine station near the Glae eh do* Bossons at a height of over 8,000 fe%*. The cost is estimated at about $1,000,000, and it is believed that the project will take four years to carry’ out. The first and easiest half will take only a year, and tourists may be able to ascwd to the Glacier des Bos sons at the end of next summer. Press Agent Veracity.

BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER. The prevalence of nervous disease cannot be ignored by anyone who is familiar with social conditions in America. Both women and men are sufferers from a malady that creeps on them stealthily and pounces on its victims as a beast springs from am bush. The nervous patient apparently breaks down suddenly, but in reality the disease has been making its grad ual approach with steps so slow and symptoms so slight that they have1 been unnoticed by family and friends, and have often escaped the vigilant eye of the physician. It is no longer au extraordinary oc currence in life to be obliged to spend a period of retirement at a rest cure or a sanitarium, and the people who require treatment for nerves are of no class or special degree of culture. They include men of brilliant abili ty, famous at the bar, on the bench and in the pulpit; women of fashion and aristocratic breeding at one end of the scale, and at the other they number hard-working laborers, toiling at a grinding and monotonous task for a small daily wage, and the wives of farmers and workingmen to whom the excitement of the social whirl are un known. Among the victims of nervous dis ease are those who can afford to pay princely sums for medical skill and professional nursing. In the retreats to which they go they are encom passed with gentle ministries and re ceive constant and sedulous care. W hen the pendulum swings the other way and it is in the home of decent poverty that nervousness binds a suf ferer in chains there are pitiful in stances of distress because of the lack of money, a few months ago an hon est man, earning a regular but small income, knocked in vain at the doors of a dozen institutions. He was will ing and anxious to pay a sum in ac cordance with his means for the relief of his suffering wife, but there was not a hospital open to one like her. Of course, there are state asylums and hospitals to which people are con signed. and where they may receive scientific treatment without cost to themselves, but there are thousands of self-respecting and independent families living on small incomes who would rather see their dear ones in the grave than in a public and chari table institution. ***** What are the causes that explain the increase of nervous disease? They are not far to seek. A common and frequent beginning of nervousness is excessive worry. When anyone is un er a continual strain, no matter what its nature, there is Injury to the phy sical and mental fabric to an extent that means mischief in due time. Doubtless, most of us worry too much over trifles. Little things vex our souls and harass our patience. Larger things dwell upon our strength, too, and the burden grows greater than we can lift *or carry. A good deal of worry would be prevented could we gain our own consent to live in the present and dismiss undue anxiety about the future. It is not to day that wears us out half so often as it is to-morrow. We are afraid that the house will take fire or the chil dren have scarlet fever or whooping cough, or the money prove insufficient for the demands upon it, or that a lad may lese his situation, or a girl be unable to get through college. We spend an enormous amount of our capital stock of wholesome vigor in worrying about possible accidents and casualties, and we drift into a state of chronic morbidness or melancholy, •after which comes the deluge. The attempt to do too many things at once or to do a single thing too well and with too much painstaking is an other prolific source of nervousness. Overwork is responsible for countless ills. We might almost call overwork a national sin. The temptation to it is in the air we breathe. Idleness is everywhere regarded as a deep dis grace. for we have inherited a strenu ous drop of blood from those who earliest sought these shores. To keep the balance even between work and play is difficult for the ma jority. Any effort to reduce the hours of a working day so that there shall be space left for amusement and rec reation, as well as for healthful sleep, is a movement in the right direction. It ought not to be forgotten that the men and women who work hardest and are most frequently spendthrifts of vitality are not those at the bottom of the ladder, but those at the top. The man who works with his brain is more likely to drain his vitality by continued overwork than the man who digs a trench or wields a ham mer. ! Overwork depresses vitality, and | wasted vitality is a forerunner of ner vous disease and sometimes of men tal derangement. Many a life has been nervously wrecked and many a prom ising career effectually checked by re course to stimulants and narcotics. I Morphia in its various forms spells ruin to those who indulge in its peril ous ease from pain. It is more to be | dreaded and its clutch upon the sys j tern is more deadly than the pern!-. | cious effects of alcoholic stimulation, j The inebriate has a better chance for, ! the recovery of health and the reha ; bilitation of self-respect than has the victim of morphine poisoning. The j iatter directly saps both energy- and j morality and undermines not only the t will but the sense of delicacy and the | ordinary regard for truth. It strikes i a blow at ethics and paralyses integ-i | rity. Victims of morphia in a more or ! less hopeless condition of exhausted nerves are found in every rest cure. ■ and although they are occasionally. | rescued, a large percentage finally drift'into imbecility or violent insan ity. Patients tortured by neuralgia or> racked by extreme pain are soothed! j by a physician’s prescription that for. the time may afford relief and do no permanent harm. But when next pain' I has them in its tormenting grasp ! they do not send for the doctor, but take the drug at their own volition. ’ Little by Httle they increase the dose. ' The hypodermic syringe, so swift and magical in its potency, has been a | fatal instrument in the hands alike of men and women who have discovered : how speedily it conquers physical an guish and gives blessed and blissful relief. i It would be better to set the teeth I and endure the torment than to accept i ease from the little puncture that in J the end may mean something worse | than pain. Insomnia, itself a result of the ex ! eitement and urgency of our present ! mode of life, is another fruitful and familiar occasion of nervous disease. : To lie awake hour after hour, and night after night, to hear the clock ! strike while the mind ranges over everything past, present and future, that can promote wakefulness, to find 1 every device futile and to stay stubr bornlv alert when drowsiness flies the pillow, all this is to say good-by to healthful and equal poise of nerves. Whatever may produce insomnia, once it is established it is a difficult icw iu ruuL Those who reside in cities are eon | fronted with yet another obstacle to : tranquil nerves. The incessant, never intermittent roar of the town, resem bling the growl of the wind when a hurricane is rising, the rumble of cars, I the thunder of elevated trains, the loud clanging of bells, the whirr of machinery, and the never-ending tramp of feet on the pavement, com bine to make of the city a pandemo nium. We may grow accustomed to the multiplied and mingling noises of the town, but they wear on our sub-con sciousness and tend to induce disease and shorten life. Some hundreds of years from now there may be invented appliances that shall hush the noises of machinery and bring to the city the sweet stillness of a summer field in the morning. In that day nervous maladies may perhaps be unknown, j (Copyright, 1S06. by Joseph B. Bowles.) FASHION'S FANCIES.
