Luminescence of Nitrogen. It has been found that nitrogen, vig orously and spectroscopically pure,'ac quires a continuous luminescence, during the electric discharge, and therefore this phenomenon can no longer be attributed to the prescence of traces of oxygen. In the pres ence of metallic vapors, such as those of mercury, sodium or potassium, says the Scientific American, the phenome non is not produced owing To the ni trogen’s being attacked by the metal lic vapors, forming a combination of the metal with nitrogen. The pres ence of oxygen, which oxides the met lilic vapors, hinders their action on the active nitrogen and renders its formation possible. Duel Was Called Off. ▲ young bachelor who was staying at a fashionable spa near Dresden was challenged to a duel by the husband of a young woman with whom ho had flirted.

Vikings Made Beeswax. ▲bout eight years ago at Oseberg, near Tonsberg, Norway, there was un earthed a ship of the early Viking period. It was completely buried in the earUi, and when disinterred was found to belong to the grave of a Vi king queen, who died about A. D. 800. Horses, carriages, and sledges were also discovered in the grave, together with all kinds of household furniture and utensils and personal ornaments, the whole forming a picture of the state of northern civilization centu ries ago. Among the other articles found were two dark rectangular masses, which proved to be wax that had apparently been used for the wax ing of sewing thread. This wax has recently been chemically examined by Dr. J. Sebelien, who found that its specific gravity and its melting-point agreed with that of the beeswax of the present day. Kept at the Office. Mrs. Brown always looks very dubi ous when her husband comes home a little later than usual and says he has been “kept at the office.” She never looks as if she beliehll the excuse, which, as a matter dr fact, is quite genuine. But some; wives seem in capable of realizing that their hus bands really axe kept late at the office sometimes, and nowadays competition is so keen that a man can't afford to go off at the tick of the clock if he wishes to keep his position. The sen sible wife doesn't make a furs when he is “kept late." She just notices that he looks more tired than usual, and iet* him have his dinner and a smoke after in peace and quiet. And yea usually find that the husband who receives this sort of treatment is merer 1st* bame if he can Jxsshiy he-ip k. Hurd at tas Hcapital. LOCAL ADVERTISING Plumes cleaned and re-curled.

CRAVE CRISIS CON FRONTS RAILROABS (Continued from Fourth Page) We believe every intelligent citizen will agree that agriculture, commerce and industry cannot get along without the railroads. On the other hand, the railroads cannot get along without the patronage and,what is equally es sential, the good will of the people. That some who have been entrust ed with railroad management in the past are somewhat responsibe for the apparent gulf between the public and the transportation companies is per haps true. Busy and harassed by her culean tasks entrusted to their care, there has been too little contact be tween them and the people. Again, it is undoubtedly true that the world of railroad finance as well as other lines of industrial activity has had its share of inexcusable abuses—but just as the public does not hold the bank ing world or ministry responsible as a whole for the shortcomings of an oc casional black sheep, so the hundreds of honest railroad officials throughout the country should not be condemned because of the misdeeds of the few. Who Owns the Railroads? In this connection it may be said that the railroad world is encumbered with a lot of phantoms which exist only in the popular fancy. For in stance because there have been some half dozen so-called railroad magnates whose names have figured prominently in Wall Street,many people have come to believe that the railroads of the country are largely owned by a few rich men. As a matter of fact, noth ing could be farther from the bruttf. Out of the colossal sum of twenty/t>il lion dollars invested in American rail road securities less than 5/gfer cent is now, or ever has beer>; Yn the hands of these men who h&ve figured promi nently in the newspaper headlines— while the otherrigj per cent is in the hands of neatly two million investors, large and.-'small, who in many instan ces haws put the modest savings of a lifetime into these securities in order thAt they might lay away a compe tency for old age. When, therefore, the value of these securities is depresssed, or perchance destroyed, the hardship is ten-fold greater upon thousands of every-day citizens.—upon the frugal mechanic in a New England factorj, the widow with her life insurances fund.and the countless other citizens in every avo cation and walk of life than upon the handful of millionaires, good or bad, who have figured prominently in rail road circles. Thus, for instance, the great Pennsylvania System has.over 70.0U) stockholders, while the Santa Fe has over 40,010, and the aasat ratio holds good in nearly all the other lines. HOLIDAY BOOKS?!

J vested in them,and the moment,there fore, that the soundness of these se curities is affected the financial solid ity of these myriad institutions'is greatly menaced at the same time. Carrying it a step further, it means that every holder of an old line life insurance policy and millions of de positors of savings and other banks, and those interested in many fiduoj. ary,benevolent and educational insti tutions are directly concen^eii in the present situation, whiaVthreatens to largely destroy they/jgh regard in which an investg^ntin railroad bonds was held. j*y In thgrimpending crisis, therefore, lyVataerely the fate of our transporta tion system is at stake,but along with it the very financial integrity of our entire investment world—and this only goes to show how vast and over shadowing our railroad industry has become—how they are not merely the giant arteries of agriculture and com merce, but how closely their welfare is woven into the woof and fabric of the entire Nation. Among other things it should remind us how interdepen dent we have come to be in this mighty republic of ours—that each is in truth becoming more and more his brother's keeper, and that we need to think and act carefully lest ie our mistaken zeal we destroy those who, like ourselves, need whatever of this world’s goods the toil and sweat of yean has brought to them. That the time has come when the citisens of Nebraska and the country generally should do some serious thinking in connection with this great and vital question there is not the slightest doubt, and bence we ap peal to the people to read the forth coming articles carefully and thooftt fuliy—and since all the rwcnrHl facts and fguns quoted will be taken from the pafeife records they will be coaly ] Notice To Creditors.
