1 THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , NOVEMBER 9 , 1906. HEAR FOR THEIR TREASURE 31ou- the Millions in Qoltl Stored in English Hanks Arc Qimrdcd. Onic-iiils of ( lit- Hunk of Knglaml arc suid ( o bi1 worried for the 'safety ' of Hit' hoards of wealth stored in their strong boxes. The Haiik station of Hie new under ground railway in London is close to ( oh vaults of the world's great- < ' 8t institution of ilnnnce. At u recent meeting of the bank direc tors it was suggested that some brave but wicked person might net off a quantity of explosive in the bank station , wrecking the foundations of the stately build ings above and sending ( lit1 bars of bullion and streams of gold leaking on I to the station plat form. The feasibility of thi * tiolieine has been conceded b.v'lli" bank governor. It is llguied , however , that the "lube , " MH Mi-1 underground railway is culled , is : i little too deep at this point. To reach the bullion vaults of the bank the conspirators would IIJIM to drive a shaft nearl.100 . feet. mid then they would face a mas * of concrete , thick masonry ami steel. At one time the ManK of England was the object of con Hpiracy. From a church lowei close by the bank was bombarded. Aftenvard the authorities had the church and its threatening tower destroyed. Officials of the bank do not like the tunneling go ing on in the clay beneath I heir foundations. The constant pump ing of water has affected even the solidity of the clay , and from Ihifi cause one of the wells which is within the three acres comprised within the bank's precincts has dried up. Those three acres are valued at about $5,000,000 each , and the fir/ensures within them are guard cd in fitting fashion. On either side of the main entrance to the bank are two small glass houses. In the one reposes a stalely 'beadle. ' In the other arc two wide , awake detectives. Other detec tives are in and out of the rooms , but always unobtrusively. At night the police force is a heavy one. Every evening a compact body of men , commanded by a lieu tenant , and including two ser geants , Iwo drummers , a bugler and . ' 50 privates , marches from ( Wellington barrack to the bank. They are in full marching order , and before they enter the tech nical limits of ' 'the city" exercise that privilege of the guards of fix ing bayonets. They are on duty for 1U hours , and but for the recur ring spells of sentry-go have an easy time. Officials of the bank provide moderate refreshments for these guards. In ( he guard room , .which is of regulation pattern , are the usual shelf and blanket , suf ficient accommodation for a sol dicr'sintcrmittentdozingwhcnon 'duty of this kind. The officer has u suite of rooms at his service , the dining-room of paneled oak , a neat bedroom and a bathroom. .There is hidden away in the center of the bank one of the most pleas ant gardens in London , where an after-dinner cigar may be enjoyed on a summer evening to the full , while the roar of the greal metropolis - olis around has died away to in articulate murmurs. A King's Now Palace. King Leopold of Belgium has taken possession of the new Jap anese palace in the Hoyal park at Lacken. It is divided into several wings. Each of them contains half a dozen of finely decorated drawing-rooms. The furniture , the ornaments , the sculptures , the paintings , the screens and thereof roof were executed atTokio by the best Japanese artists. More than L',000 electric lights illumin ate the palace , where the king in tends giving some gorgeous recep tions in honor of the shah of Per sia next summer. Blessings of Speech. The victim of the automobile accident was plainly dying , lie was just delivering a touching speech about the "wife and chil dren" when he caught sight of the man who had run him down. A y.olley of choice expressions arose from the dying man's lips. This apparently relieved him greatly , for he got up and walked home. A Mistake. It is not good for man to live alone unless he wants to save money. Chicago Daily News. WOULD RATHER WALK HOME Story Told of Carpenter McQloln , nn Odd Nnvnl Character Averse to SeasIcknesB. A naval olllcer tells the follow ing story of Carpenter McGloin , an odd character employed in the navy , who for many years was u Hort of privileged person employed in the service because of his un flagging spirits and wit. The old Pcnsacola once was com ing up to San Francisco from Hon olulu , when she met a severe gale. McGloin , who in heavy weather usually became seasick , promptly "turned in. " .Shortly after his disappearance , it was reported to the captain that something way amiss with the forelopmast. Accordingly , McGloin's services as carpenter being necessary at this juncture , he was sent for. Staggering on deck he began to make a scries of excuses , which were'cut short by the commanding officer , who or dered the carpenter to go aloft and ascertain what was wrong with the mast. Theproposition struck McGloin with such amazement thai it look : iwny his breath. "Up that mast , " muttered he , "in such weather .IK thisV" "Yes , up thai moat , " reiterated the commanding officer , sternly , "and quickly , too ! " McGloin decided to enter a last despairing protest. "Cap'n , " said he , "do you honestly mean that I'm to go up that mast in such weather ? Why , this is an awful gale ! " The officer lost patience. "You are impertinent , man ! " exclaimed he. "And I've allowed you too much talk already ! Up that mast , now ! " "All right , " mournfully wailed McGloin , as he prepared to obey the order ; "but , " he added , with a reproachful glance at his su perior officer , "cap'n , if there was a four-inch plank from here to Brooklyn , rather than go up that mast , Fd walk home ! " TRIVIAL , BUT A TRAGEDY. And No Sympathy Could Be Hnd from Confidant of Gloomy Womnn. They were all to have a Sunday night supper at a friend's house , and even the boarding mistress was invited ; so the girl got an i-xtra Sunday night and the house hold split up in parties for the afternoon , relates ( he New York Sun. Sun.By By Iwos and threes they arrived at the host's home until there were left only the boarding mis tress and the husband of the wom an who had engineered Ihe party. There was a quarter of an hour wait , and at last the husband strolled in. "Miss Hlank says she can't come , " he announced , as he sniffed ( lie odor of the old-fash ioned shortcake. "I guess she must have another of her sick headaches , for she seems to have gone to bed ; just poked her head out of the doorway and said she was sorry. " Late that evening the other woman took home a generous slice of shortcake and found the absent one sitting , disconsolate , in the parlor. " 1 thought you were ill , " she cried. "Will said you had gone to bed. " "My dear , " sobbed the boarding mistress , "all my dresses button up the back , and when I started to get ready the only person in the place was your husband. I could not very well ask him , could I ? " And the only comfort she re ceived was : "Why not ? I've trained him to do it beautifully. " Timber Cutting in Australia. An explorer in the backwoods of Australia tells how some of the timber cutters took big risks. "I had given instructions to the men in the bush that on no aacount were they to lay aside their flre < arms , " he says. "After having been absent for a short time I re turned and found that they had slung their revolvers and carbines 011 a small tree and were workinp at about GO yards from them. I car tell you they heard of it. The no tivcs have a playful habit of drag ging their spears through the grass with their toes and all the while looking as innocent as it It possible to look. If the native : had only thought of it they mighl have given the cutters n warn time. " ANTS BUILD GOOp ROADS. They Are an Smooth na If Cemented from End to End Greatest Constructors on Earth. The greatest road builders in the world are a species of red ants found in South America. In build ing a road they carry minute par- tides of clay , with which they line nil the roads as well as Ihe galler ies and passages of their nests till they look as smooth as if cemented by a master mason. Some idea of their number can be formed when i t is remembered thai the whole of Ibis road to their tree , perhaps nearly half a mile long , is densely thronged with a multitude going out empty and coming back with their umbrellalike burdens , while thousands upon thousands swarm in the doomed tree. That this vast army is under the best discipline can be proved bj watching them only a few mo mcnts. The drivers are constant ly running up and down giving their orders to the workers , whicli they do by louching heads for : i mome.nl. The individual so touched will slop , lurn back , hurry forward or show in some such way that he is following some com maud. But a better proof of the discipline is found in the fact that when the army meets with an ob staclc , such as a log or large stone there is a jam of ants on both sides ind they run about in dismay and disorder. Instantly the drivers hurry up , showing Ihe greatest ex- citcmcnt , and run over , around and under Ihe impediment to find the best way out of the difficulty. When they have decided they lead elf the line of march in the proper direction. But until they take this step the workers make no at tempt to pass the obstacle. When a selection of a level piece of ground has been made a per pendicular shaft some eight inch es in diameter and six or seven feet deep is formed. This is for drainage and ventilation , never for ingress or egress. If the ground slopes the shaft is horizon tal , the mouth , of course , being at the bottom of the hill. From the perpendicular shaft , commencing at the botlom , radiate galleries , like the spokes of a wheel set at a slight angle. At the end of each series of galleries' spokes a circu lar gallery is made , forming , as it were , a set of .wheels one above the other. In , or rather above these circular galleries the nests or dwelling places are con structed. These are oval in shape and about a foot long. The nar row end of the oval is downward and opens into the roof of the gal lery , and as Ihe spokes always slope slighlly loward Ihe shaft no tropical rains , no matter how heavy , can enter the homes and breeding places of the ants. NO FOOD FCJRJJLEVEN DAYS Blind Indian Falls Into Mine Shaft and Subsists Until Friends Rescue Him. Macey Ball , a blind Modoc In dian , living three miles northwest of Seneca , fell into an abandoned mining shaft about GO feet deep , over which brush had been heaped. Eleven days later Ball was res cued. "There must have been con siderable water in the shaft , " says the Hustler , "as the Indian de clares he never struck botlom. 11 seems that in some way , when he arose to the surface of Ihe wa ter , he caught on to something long enough to keep from drown ing , and had dug a hole in the side of the shaft with his hands large enough to crawl into , and there he had remained the entire 11 days without food of any kind. A rope was lowered to him and he placed the noose around his body and was pulled out. lie seemed none the worst for his fasting , as he was able to walk home , about half a mile. Sam Lawyer had been out hunting for the missing man , and his dogs , passing the shaft , heard the Indians making queer sounds , peculiar lo his tribe , and set up a howl. Sam looked inlo the shaft , but could see no one , as Macey had burrowed deep enough to be en tirely ouf of sight , but he heard him and secured the help of Ben Lawyer and Tom Welsh and they rescued the imprisoned man.

Notwithstanding the disadvantage under which she has labored , she has proven , not only the .Science to be true , but that she her helf is a success. LJrior to taking up the study ami work of healing , she was but an humble housewife of one of our honorable citizens , Mr. Ed Nolte.

Oflice at residence four blocks east of Union Hotel , Falls City , Nebraska. Market Letter. Kansas City Stock Yards , Nov. , 5 , 19015. Since last Monday cattle receipts have been moderate each day , including today , and the market lias ruled linn all the time. Medium class short fed steers have been killing out badly and buyers take good grassers in pre ference , but as the latter are not always available , and the short fed steers are a little better each week , this prejudice against them is disappearing. The supply to day is 17.000 head , containing a liberal share of Colorado and New Mexico entile of all kinds. The proportion of stackers and feeders this fall has not been as great as in other years , partly because the range cattle have been in better Hesh this year , more of them go ing to packers for that reason , and partly because a good many cattle have been sold in the country to go into feed lots. Also a good many owners that former ly sold their feeders are feeding them themselves this year. Be cause of this packers purchases this fall have been nearly as large as last , and the proportion of the total receipts they have been se cured is much larger , as the total supply has not been as largo this fall as last. The market today is steady to strong in spite of a heavy run at Chicago and adverse reports from there. Best steers last week sold at $0.00 to SO 25 , but quality was lacking and the market was not fully tested. Noth ing above the ordinary is heie to day , top $5.50. Good dry lot steers sell from $5.GO upwards , short fed steers $ -1.50 to $5.-10 , to $5.40 , grass steers $3.75 to $5.00 , veals up to $5.50 , heavy calves $3.00 to $1,50. stackers $2.75 to $ -1.25 , feeders $3.40 to $1.(50 ( , most of the range stackers and feeders between $3.00 and $1.00. The bog market hns a down ward tendency , although receipts are not at a volume to justify much of n break. Run was 10 000 last week , 7000 here today. Prices advanced after the middle of last week but are 10 to 15 low er today , top $0.20 , bulk of sales $0.10 to $0.15. Heavy hogs and Last December 1 was taken suddenly til with a severe patu In my right side , which at times seemed unbearable. A doctor was called and pronounced it appcndi'iitis. The doctor's mcdiclim seemed to re lieve me , but only for a short time , and every few weeks T would have a severe spoil and could not eat , sleep , or seem to get relief in any way possible I continued to grow worse until August , when I came to Falls City. Hearing of Mrs. Nolte'a wonderful treatments , I concluded to take a course , with won derful results. After the first treatment , I slept better than I had for mouths. After six treatments I was completely cured and have belter health than I have had for years. In two months I gained over thirty pounds , and can freely and gladly recommend her treatments as something wonderful. Kh C. MnnciiANT. Garrison , Iowa Th's ' is to certify that I have taken treatments of Mrs. E. Nolte , and am more than pleased with the results. I was terribly afillcled with neuralgia , be sides other diseases peculiar to women of ray age. I had tried many other kinds of treatments , but re ceived no benefit whatever. Mrs. Nolle did mo moro good than anything I ever tried , in fact she cured me. I am sound and well today and lake pleasure in recommencing suffering women lo gd lo Mrs. Nolle for treatment. Mus. L.
