CANDIDATES FOR THE PLACE. Judge N. D. Jackson of Nellgh Ap pears to be In the Lead Situation ao Viewed by the Lincoln Correspondent pendent of the Omaha Bee. The election of Judge Barnes to tlie supreme bench , changing the complexion of the court from demo- pop to republican , will lose Lee Hordman hia place as clerk of the court , and already the fight that has been going on quietly for some time for the place has assumed such pro portions that speculation is now rife saysr the Lincoln correspondent in the Bee. Victor Seymour came out this morning with a petition securing signers to recommend him for the place. Seymour lias , for some time , been prominent in Lancaster politics. Representative McClay is another Lancaster county man after the office and he is backed by Frank Tyrrell. Tyrrell brought out Judge Barnes for the supreme bench nomination. W. B. Rose , assistant attorney gen eral , is another candidate who has considerable backing. The man wheat at this time , however , has the ap pearance of a winner , is N. D. Jack son of Neligh. Jackson is well known over the state and is particu larly strong in his district. In the convention which nominated Judge Sedgwick ho was the leader of the Barnes forces and throw them to Sedgwick at the right time to make him. Ho was the leader of the Barnes delegation this year and as sisted greatly in the campaign that elected Barnes. While of course neither Judge Barnes nor any of the other judges are saying a word , there is no question that Jackson stands high with the two republican mem bers. Shrinkage of Corn in the Crib. At the Iowa Station , in 1803 , says the Nebraska Farmer , 7,000 pounds of corn were husked and stored in a crib on OctobcfJ9. The crib was built upon the platform of a pair of smiles , so that weighings could bo made at any time without moving the corn or destroying the normal conditions of storing. The weights taken weekly during an entire year show some variations duo to the weather. The shrinkage during the year was 9 per cent of the original weight for the first three months , 6 4-7 per cent for the second , 3 1-7 per cent for the third , and 2 5-7 per cent for the last three months. The loss for the entire period amounted to 1,430 pounds , or a little more than 20 per cent. In this case a , bushel of corn weighing 80 pounds when store d , weighed 04 pounds at the end of the year ; or if calculated to weigh 75 pounds when put into the crib , weighed CO pounds after storing ono year. In a similar experiment the following year the total loss In weight for the ontlro period was 635 pounds , or a shrinkage - ago of 9 2-7 per cent. At the close of this second experiment the ker- nals contained 12.11 per cent of water , and the cob 25.82 per cent. The corn used In this test was in a much drier condition than the corn used the preceding year , and the sea son had a much larger rainfall. These conditions largely account for the smaller shrinkage. TRANS-CONTINENTAL GATEWAY. A New Book Descriptive of Omaha Is ued by the North-Western Line.

FIRE THAT DESTROYED CRESTON Editor Wagner of the Statesman Compellled to Jump Through Window to Escape Flames. The village of Crcston , this county , was the victim of a very dis astrous lire early Sunday morning. The origin of the fire is not known. Keillor C. 13. Wagner of the States man , who sleeps in his office , was awakened about 2 o'clock by flames in his room and was compollled to jump out through a window to es cape being burned. The alarm was then given but the lire had gained such headway that nothing could be done with the meager lire-fighting apparatus at hand and several build ings were consumed by the ( lames. The loss consists of the Creston > ank , Independent Telephone switch- joard , a furniture store , Henning's ) lacksmith shop , the Creston States man office and equipment and an 1m- ) lement store. Nothing was saved rom any of the buildings with the xception of what was in the vault of the bank. The entire loss is not snown but that experienced by the telephone company is estimated at ibout $150. The buildings were all frame and we understand belonged to Theodore Wolfe. New buildings will be built in their places as soon as possible. The telephone company ms men at work putting In a new switchboard and it is hoped that not : nore than four days service will be , ost. C. B. Wagner left Monday for Omaha to make arrangements with i publishing house to do his print- ng. The other establishments will indoubtcdly bo replaced soon. Columbus Journal. Dr. F. G.

It is curious how future events are occasionally prellgmocl by home an ticipatory token which , unlike presenti ments and premonitory dreams , makes icrlmps no Impression at the time on those whom they concern. Hero is n striking example : One of Charles Die-kens' sons , from some childish oddity of expression In his large , wondering eyes , was given by his father the very unique sobriquet of the "Ocean Specter , " by which ho was always called. The great novelist nev er knew of the weird significance his playfully bestowed appellation was to bear , for ho himself had been nearly two years in his grave at the time hla little "Ocean Specter , " then a lieuten ant in the royal navy , died and was burled at sea.
