One pickerel wns caught on a throw-
line during the night which was three
feet long. Turtles got nt his flesh and
stripped his skeleton from behind the
gills to the tall , so that there was
nothing but his framework left. When

END INVESTIGATION THURSDAY.
It Is Said That the State Board Will
Finish Tomorrow.
Lincoln Evening News : The mem
bers o fthe board of public lands and
buildings will go to Norfolk again
Wednesday and will resume the In
vestigation of the charge against Drs.
Alden and Nicholson the following
morning. It is probable that Govern :
or Mickey will accompany them. It
Is thought that the hearing will be
finished by Thursday evening.
The rumor that there Is liable to be
friction between the governor and ( j
Secretary of State Galusha and Com ( _
mlssloner Eaton over the Investigation
Is apparently without foundation. It
hers of the board have to a certain extent -
tent the power to discredit the charg
es against the asylum officials , and
may in their report recommend that
Drs. j Alden and Nicholson bo retained
should they consider the evidence in
sufficient to warrant their dismissal.
The evidence , however , will be laid be
fore the governor and his disposition.
of the case will ho final , regardless of' '
the recommendations of the board.
The power of the governor to remove
Is unquestioned. The law In regard
to Investigations by the board Is ns
follows :
"It shall be the duty of the board to
take cognizance of all charges or com
plaints made against the said public
officers and at a regular meeting to
give an impartial hearing to such
charges and the defense against them
if any and report the charges , evi
dence and their conclusions In the
matter to the governor within six days
after the determination of such Inves
tigation. "

Lander , Wyo. , Hits on Novel Plan for
Opening of Reservation.
It is estimated that not less than
100,000 people will pass through Nor
folk to the Shoshonl rush next month.
The registration continues from July
1C to 31 and final entry will bo mode
at Lander August 15.
Citizens of Lander have hit upon the
novel plan of maintaining municipal
restaurants , hotels and lodging houses
that there may be no repetition of the
private graft which has always existed
in reservation openings.
Buying up all the hotels In Lander
and opening booths where lunches
may be secured , the municipality of
Lander will sell the people their hot
tnmales , wienie sandwiches , red lem
onade , hot coffee , chili concarne , ham
burger sandwiches and doughnuts.
There will be a uniform price for these
necessities of life , and arrangements
will bo made to rent beds on the same
plan , that those who go to lender will
not ho "hold up" for accommodations ,
According to railroad ofllclalH there
arc fiOO Holtlors camped along the line
of the reservation already , waiting t"

42 DOSES OF POISON IN MEAL.
Indictment of Modern Foods From
Pure.Food Champion.
"By studying a bill of faro In a res
taurant not long ago , I found that the
average man takes forty-two doses of
poison at every meal ho eats , " said
Harry H. Walmsloy , champion of the
pure-food hill In the legislature , ac
cording to a Kansas City report. "Tho
butter IB covered with coal-lnr dyes ,
the meat has more or less embalming
fluid , the lard In which his potatoes

HEART SEWED UP , MAN LIVES.
Throbbing Cardiac Pumping Station
Taken Out Forty Minutes.
For over forty minutes the pulsat
ing heart of William Wyutt was hold
In the hands of two physicians nl the
Pennsylvania hospital Saturday night
while Dr. Richard Hart , hospital surgeon -
geon , sewed six stltchCH in the organ
and then replaced it in the body , says
a Philadelphia dispatch. Wjatt , who
was at first thought to have been fa
tally cut , is reported to bo resting
comfortably , and the physicians say
they have every reason to believe that
the patient will recover. It was the
third time such an operation has been
performed In the city.
Wyatt and a friend were scuffling
for posesslon of a long knlfo when the
former slipped and fell on its point.
Dr. Hart made an incision In Wyatt's
left side long t-nougu to put his hand
through and , taking out the heart ,
placed It upon the palms of his two as
sistants , and there It lay , throbbing
vigorously as It sent the blood cours
ing through the arteries.
Examination showed that the knife
had inflicted a wound on the organ an
inch and a quarter long. In order that
the heart's action should not bo Inter-
forred with , It was necessary for the
surgeon to make stitches between pul
sations. When the operation was con
eluded the organ was put back In Its
proper place.

SIGNIFICANCE OF NEW MEASURE
TO THIS SECTION ,
NEW INDUSTRY WILL START
How the New Dcnaturlzcd Alcohol
Dill , Which Has Now Become n Law
Through President's Signature , Will
Affect Norfolk.
Now thai Norfolk , with nu empty

because of the loconl hill piiHsod by
eongroHH and signed by the proHldnut ,
the following Washington dispatch ,
tolling what the hill IIIOIIIIH , will beef
of niloioHl oHpoclally to thlH locality :
Since Dm movement for Iroo , dona-
lured alcohol began , uiomburH of eon-
oHH , parllcularly from the norlhwoHl ,
have been hoHlogod by tholr const llu-
onlH with liiiiilrlen | IIH to the dotallH
of Iho bill which IIIIH now become a
law.
law.Tho
The farmoi'H , who are allko Interest
ed with producers of the raw material
and consumers of Iho finished product ,
want to know In Just what form the
benefit will como to ( bom. luminous
men , contemplating the manufacture
of denatured alcohol , also want Infer
mation.
With the lax removed from alcohol ,
the qucHllon of supplying manufactur
ers IH a utmplo ono , an there IH a wide
range of prices at which they can use
alcohol to advantage. They have boon
paying $2.10 per gallon for grain al
cohol , and from 70 cents to $1.50 a
gallon for wood alcohol , a greatly In
ferior substitute llenco , ' ! 0 or even
50-eoni alcohol means n tremendous
benefit to them. In view of Ihlu , It IH
altogether likely that the regulations
will provide for the UHO of a larger
percentage of wood alcohol IIH a do-
naturent In all alcohol for manufactur
ing purposes , as the IncrvuHed * cout
would not be prohibitive.
Tax Is Wiped Out.
There Is nothing In the now law
which addH to the cost of manufactur
ing alcohol. The tax In wiped out ,
and an appropriation Is made to en
able the government to pay the entire
expense of administration and super
vision. It will cost nothing to llcemiu
11 dlHtlllory or a domtturlzlng ware
house.
The Importance- the
- protecting In
terests of the fanners wan brought to
the attention of the president by Con
gressman Marshall of North Dakota
and Congressman Mnrdock of Kansas.
The president fell In with their Idea
most heat Illy , and Commissioner
YorkoB Is also In complete sympathy.
The placing of this now Industrial
naienai on me innriiei in compeuuon i
gasolene and kerosene IB an on
iroly new undertaking , and everything
said In relation to It Is largely conjee-
ure , although It IH agreed by all that
no poHHlhllltloH are groat.
The New Regulations.
i ho regulations of the commissioner
will provide for the licensing of distilleries
lories with a dally capacity of 100
iHisholH of grain , or about 250 gallons
: jf commercial alcohol. The small dis
tillery will bo on a par with the Inrgo
: ) iio. The law provides for ilenaturlz-
ing In a separate bonded warehouse ,
which simply means that the distil
lery can have a separate room com
pletely shut off from the distillery
iiropcr , or a small building near by ,
where the denntiirl/.lng can be carried
: > n In the piesence of the government
Inspector. A number of plants could
liavo a central donaturlzlng warehouse ,
UK ! small country distilleries could
Bend tticlr grain alcohol to a central
IKiint to bo ( lenatiirlzcd , provided a
transit rate could bo. procured , al
though It Is believed that the denatur-
Izlng can be done cheaper at the dis
tillery where the alcohol Is rnado , as
the process of denaturlzlng Is simple ,
requiring no complicated machinery ,
and consisting merely in the mixing
of wood and grain alcohol by pouring
them together , with the possible addi
tion of some other denaturlzlng ma
terial which would mix readily.
Marshall's View on Law.
"jhcre Is nothing In the law , " said
Representative i > iarshnll , "embarrass
ing to the manufacturer , beyond the
cost of constructing a room or build
ing , which , ot course , need not bo ex
pensive. The small distillery will bo
handicapped by greater economy In
manufacturing on a larger scale , but
this would bo largely offset by saving
In transportation.
"Distilleries could be established at
numerous points In Minnesota , Nebras
ka and South Dakota , whlca would
easily compete with the big distilleries
of Illinois and Indiana , ns well as the
molasses distilleries of the far cast
and the gulf coast , as the country dls-
tlucry would bo near the raw material
and i no consumers. In the west , stock
cattle and hogs are at hand to con
sume the slops and mash from the
stills.
In Interest of Farmer.
"This much Is established clearly ,
the law is framed in the Interest of
tno farmer , and it Is left to the Inge
unity of tlio people to solve the great
problem of furnishing an Incxhaiistl
bio supply of materials to light our
homes , do our cooking , run our sta
tlonery engines , much of our farming
machinery , our motor wagons , trucks
and automobiles , and eventually warm
our houses.
"Whether alcohol can bo made in
small quantities locally Is more or less
problematical , and remains to bo dem
onitraled. There are more than C.OOO
farm distilleries In Germany making
denaturlzed alcohol for fuel , light and
neat. If the prlco IH high , alcohol can
ho iniiilo locally and great benefit will
aceiue ; If the prlco IH low , the benefit
will come to our people IIH coiiHiiinoni ,
while poimlhly II may work benefit to
our farmers both 'going and coming'
A great deal will depend upon ( ho reg-
iilallotiH governing I bo amount of do-
imlurl/.lng materials , IIH thin directly
all'eclii Hie rout.
Benefits to Accrue ,
"Tho greatest henellt to the produc
ers wnl ho an a prlco regulator. There
will ho no more burning of corn In
Kansas and no mom potatoes In vast
qiianllllcH allowed to ml In the ground.
When raw material IB cheap It can bo
made Into alcohol and titorod. A uni
form prlco , giving living pioIRs each
year to our farinorH , IH much to bo do-
Hired , and IB a much safer ( imposition
than a high price Mils year and a Inn
ing price the next year.
"Undoubtedly Iho find dlreut henellt
that will come to the whole maim of
I lie people will bo In the use of alcohol
for lighting purposes. It bait been
clearly doinotiHlrnlcd thai ono gallon
of alcohol IH equal to ( wo galloiiH of
ItoroHi'tio ' for producing light , and that
II Is cleaner , safer and bettor. In view
of this gionlor ; olllcloncy , ( hero ought
to bo no question an to Its displacing
kerosene.
"One of the first effects of the law
will be to rehabilitate a number of
Idle distilleries In the country and to
establish distilleries In connection with
ail the boot and cane sugar refining
plants for Iho miuiufacturu of alcohol.
Up to thin tlmo there ban boon but lit
tle sale for alcohol made from refuse
moliiHHcB , an It hau a disagreeable odor
and flavor and can bo used only for
lowgradu rum and whisky , hut such
alcohol Is entirely fit for the purpose
of heat , light and power.
Alcohol From Molasses ,
Unquestionably the uupply of nlcohol
for UHO In the Atlantic and southern
stales will come largely from domestic
and Imported rofiiua molasses , and ( ho
hardest competition the western man
who makes alcohol from corn , pota
toes or sugar beets , will have to meet ,
will ha the alcohol produced from thin
molasHcn. It In probable , however ,
Dial the east will consume all thin
class of alcohol , and the cost of trans
portation will operate In favor of the
western man.
Secretary Wilson said to Mr. Mar
shall that In his opinion the noulh
would depend upon the refuse molass
es and cassava plant , and the north on
corn and the stock potato now rained
In fiormany.
A Now Yorker who visited Washing-
Ion ( his week assured several gcntlo-
inen that $50,000,000 of Now York cai > -

of the proposition will depend on the
business being done on a very small
margin , relying upon the volume of
the business to render It profitable.
Implement Men Interested.
Manulaclurcrs of agricultural imple
ments all over the United States have
been greatly Interested In this work ;
the harvester manufacturing compa
nies particularly have been planning
to make Internal combustion engines ,
the only drawback being the high price
of gasolene. They are now pushing
this work on a largo scale , and will ,
therefore , become directly Interested
In seeing that cheap fuel Is supplied
for them. The manufacturers of gas-
olond piiL'IriPB are In the same boat ,
and will bo Intensely Interested In see
ing alcohol placed on the market at
the lowest possible price. It has devel
