THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , JULY 20 , 1906
State News.
Thirty huge P.ncilic type pass
enger engines , each weighing
187 tons , anil built with the
longest boiler tubes ever used in
a locomotive , are being delivered
by the Baldwin locomative works
to the Burlington route for ser
vice between Chicago and Den
ver. The new machines out
weigh by 57,000 pounds the
heaviest passenger engines which
the Uurlington has used.
Bitten by a tarantula while
serving a customer with a tloxcn
bananas , Mrs. I-ebrnnddc Chris
tian , wife of the proprietor of a
fruit stand at Sixteenth and
Dodge streets , Omaha , is in a
serious condition. She was
about to clip some bananas from
a large bunch when a spider-
looking insect leaped upon
her hand , inflicting a bite upon
the third linger of the loft hand.
"Lti.xus" was one of more than
a million names that were sub
mitted to the Kred Krng Brewing
company of Omaha , for their new
bottled beer. It is already fam
ous .is a result of the novel plan
In which its title was chosen.
The Fred. Krug Brewing com
pany is one of the largest in the
West , and it is but a question of
time u n d e r its progressive
methods , when it will lead the
brewers of the world. It is their
object to make beer a health
food , and to Hits eud they have
joined with other reputable brew
ers to urge the pure food bill in
congress , which provides for
rigid inspection and places a
penalty on all adulterations.
The verdict of the court mar
tial of Captain Alfred Dreyfus ,
by which he was sent to Devils
Island and was also cashiered
from the French army , on tlu
charge of betraying military se
crets , has been annulled by tlu
Court of Cassation which recent
ly reviewed the case. No ne\\
trial has been ordered.
Captain Dreyfus will rc-eiitei
the army and the report that hi
will be promoted to the rank ol
Major has been decided upon.
The order will be issued b )
the court's decree and will be
posted in all of the French Com
munes and printed in one him
dred newspapers of which Drey
fus will be allowed to make sc
lection.
No financial damages wen
awarded Captain Dreyfus as i
was asked merely that his honoi
be cleared.
Colonel Picquart the oiili
army officer who stuck to Drey
fus through all of his troubles
and who lost his colonelcy there
by , will be very apt to be restorei
to rank with honor.
A duck , who had faithfully
stuck to business during the sum
mer and laid several dox.en largt
fawn colored eggs , complained
that she was not appreciated.
' 'See that hen over there ? '
said the duck ; "she has not laic
so many eggs as I have nor si
big , but she has books writtci
about her and verses composei
in her honor , while nobody say
a word about me. The troubl
with you is , " said a wise Bui
Leghorn cock that was standini
near , "that you do not tell th
public what you have done. Yo
lay an egg and waddle off witl :
out saying a word , while tha
sister of mine never lays on
without letting everybody in th
neighborhood know it. If yo
want to cut any ice in this con
munity you must learn to adve
tise. "
The shirtwaist trouble at Fr
mont college assumed threate
ing proportions this morning at
because of it no school sessioi
were held. The difficulty h ;
been settled , however , by arl
tration.
The chapel Tuesday mornii
as on the previous morning w ;
guarded by a policeman , but tl
shirtwaist students secured e
trance. Forty of them , who hi
pledged themselves to ' 'stick t
Jgether , " wore their coats wh
, they entered the room and i
moved the garments. , disclosing
their shirtwaists when they arose
for the opening song.
President Clcmmons made his
usual morning talk and then ad
monished the shirtwaist students
to remain after chapel. They
did so and were again addressed
by the president. He then re
tired to the office for a meeting
with the faculty leaving the
students to deliberate upon what
he had said. The students drew
up a set of resolutions offering
i to arbitrate and abide by the
new rule providing none of them
i were expelled. The resolutions
( were presented at the faculty
I meeting. The faculty accepted
the agreement at noon and the
.school sessions , which had been
discontinued tcmporaril } ' , were
.resumed at 1 o'clock.
j . . - . _ ,
1 About 3 o'clock last Tuesday
.morning lire was discovered in
'Paul ' Fcistner's harness shop
at Johnson , Neb.
! the origin of which is unknown.
| No fire had been in the building
for months. When first discov
ered the fire had gained such
headway that it was impossible
to enter the building from either
end. The town has no adequate
means of fighting lire , so the
flames were soon spreading to F.
CTclo's saloon on the south and
to D. Uchrend's building on the
north. By hard work a bucket
brigade succeeded in saving the
next building on the south , occu
pied by the First National bank
although the interior was quite
badly damaged by smoke and
water. The three buildings
burned were one-story bricks ,
two of them 25x70 and one 25x80.
The north building was. owned
and occupied by D. Behrcnds as
a billiard hall and W. A. Law
rence with a barber shop. Mr.
Lawrence saved his furniture.
The rest was all lost. Paul
Feistner had a $ ( > ,000 stock of
harness , etc. , which together
with the building was valued at
$8,000 , and was about two-thirds
insured. Mr. Tebo had $1,700
insurance on the building and
contents. His loss is about
$3,500. D. Cehrends had a small
insurance. All will resume busi
ness in temporary buildings un
til they can rebuild.

PHOSPHORESCENT RODENTS
Xats from Cuba Drive Ship's Cat
Crazy During an Electric
Storm nt Night.
New York. The phosphorescent
rats of Cuba , well known to science ,
drove a cat rruzy In the little British
hrlgantliie Venturer , that arrived at
pier No. II , Hast river , the other day
from Santa CmCulm. .
Two years ago .Mr. Chandler the
mate , procured a fine big cat named
I'cdro , as big as a water spaniel , and
the vessel was kept frea of rats.
After the ship had come through the
Straits of Klorlila on Its last trip Capt.
Hums found aboard the biggest rats
he had ever seen. They paid no at
tention to anybody and walked right
around the cat , which seemed power
less.
less.At
At night the rats gave out streaks
that looked like green lightning. Their
uncanny appearance terrified I'edro ,
which would run for the galley and
Jump Into the cook's lap for protec
tion. The more sulphur and poison
the skipper foil the rats the fatter they
seemed to grow , while Pedro dally be
came thinner.
Otic night In an electric storm the
rats SL't'ined to he grconer than over.
I'edro went mad at the sight of the
phosphorescent rats and jumped over-
hoard.
Then the skipper and the mate de
cided It was time lo put up : i Job on
the KPlontlflf rodents. The ciew
smoked them all out from below , aft
and for'rard , shilling up every nook
and cranny i.clilnd them.
As thi ) hr-irnntlno was thumping In a
seaway the skipper aided matters by
putting Its nose to the wind and then
veering so as lo catch the swell. Over
careened the schooner and over went
nil the grocn rats with the wash of
the soa.
DOCTOR'S PAINFUL MISHAP
Breaks Vial of Vaccinating Lymph
and Inoculates Ills
Own Eye.
London. Uy a simple misadventure
n doctor practicing In u town near
Manchester has become the victim of
a peculiar and painful Inoculation.
While breaking : i tiny vial containing :
lymph for the purpose of vaccinating nn
Infant u particle of glass Hew up and
struck him on the pupil of the eye. Ad
hering to the glass fragment was an al
most microscopic quantity of calf's
lymph. The doctor realized the danger
of vaccination to which he was ex
posed and Immediately bathed his eye.
So tender , however , is the skin of the
eye that the glass made a minute
cratch and a day or so afterward the
isual symptoms which follow inocula-
lon gradually appeared.
The pain and discomfort which or-
llnarlly arise from the operation in
his Instance are acutely aggravated
'iiitl ' ho Is going through exactly the
uno process as If ho had been vaccinat
ed on the arm. The patient cannot sleep
: ind In consequence the eye Is never at
rest. The eye Is bandaged up and tha
lector Is forbidden to read. When it ia
: lark he walks abroad under the shade
> f the trees and away from the gas
amps.
The accident occurred a few weeks agu
uul It Is the first of its kind In England ,
: hough It In said two such cases have
uippcned In Germany.
It Is not likely that the eye of the un
fortunate doctor will be Impaired.
