Herdman Will be Retired as
Supreme Court Clerk.
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.

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.

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.
Mliirrnln nnit Life.
The base of nutrition In all living
being1) Is oxygen , water , salts , carbon
and nitrogen. Forster tried to feed
dogs on organic substances deprived of
nearly all tlu-Ir mineral matter. Death
from starvation occurred sooner than
if the dogs had been completely with
out food. M. ITcrrera says in Revue
Sclcntltlque , Paris , "Living beings are
but aggregations of ntlnerul substances
and biology is but a chapter In min
