Judge Cobbey In Town.

Interests of his candidacy for supreme
judge on the republican ticket. Judge
Cobbey Is author of the Annotated
Statutes of Nebraska , the standard
authority In this state , and which Is
being used as n model by other states.
Besides , ho Is author of n number of
other legal works , and the necessary
study required to compile these works
makes him more familiar with the laws
of Nebraska than probably any other
man In the state and eminently fits
him for the position to which ho as
pires. Two years ago Judge Darnes
received an unusually heavy vote in ,

trial of a band of Cnmor-
TUB nt Vlterbo , Italy , drawa
attention to the secret socie
ties of Europe which have for
heir object murder or any form of vlo-
once and crime that will promote
heir views or fill the pockets of the
coundrels who belong to them.
The whole continent Is honeycombed
vlth such societies , who set nil laws at
cflnnco and are a constant terror to
: iw abiding people.
MoroiintzcfT , the muu who died
hrough being accidentally shot by a
'cllow ' criminal during the attempted
iurglary in Iloundsdltch , was known
0 the continental police as the defl
orate leader of n gang of hooligans
nd thieves which ho had got togcth-
r , known as the "Zinowa Robgotnlc-
zn , " the members of which 'devoted '
heir energies to robberies with vlo-
cnco and attacks upon banks and coin-
uerclal houses. In thcso outrages sev-
u persons were killed. Twelve mem-
era of this gang were ultimately cap-
ured and hanged , but Morountzcff es-
uped.
Ono of the most tcrriblo of tbcso
engucs of criminals is the dreaded
Mafia , which has terrorized Sicily for
cvcral generations and is said to be
specially active just now. Its amia
ble cede of honor is to defy the law
nd to rule the Island by threats and
violence.
Includes All Classes.
According to M. Ulanclll , the Mafia
is "an unapproachable and multiform
union of persons of all classes , -who
id each other , in spite of the law and
morality , to murder , to intimidate and
equestrato landed proprietors , to raise
1 ring In the corn market , to forgo
wills , to Influence the results of trials
find to push their best men Into gov-
rnment offices. " Its ranks include
men of all classes , from outlaws to
mayors and judges and from thieves
and sharpers to members of parlia
ment.
At ono time this remarkable baud
ouflncd its efforts principally to kid
naping the sons of rich families and
o coining false money. Now they
draw most of their revenue from levy-
ng blackmail on wealthy landowners
: n return for their protection and by
assisting smugglers. Direct robbery
and violence are resorted to only for
engennce.
How powerful the Mafia Is Is shown
by the following stories : One day a
arge case arrived , at the Palermo cus
toms labeled "Biscuits. " The customs
olllclnls opened It and discovered 500-
000 francs In forged banknotes. Not
ono of them , however , dared to speak.
The case was reclosed and sent on to
FORTY YEARSJN BED.
Self Chosen Fate of Man Prevented
From Marrying Girl of His Choice.
Because Joseph Plummer of Milton ,
N. n. , was prevented by his father
rom marrying the woman of his
choice he has remained forty years In
icd. Ho is now seventy-one years old.
The woman he loved Is dead , but
the old man has not been told. In
fact , he refused to speak of her from
the very day when he said to his
father. "Since you will not let me have
her , I have no other ambition and
may as well spend the rest of my
life In bed. " Joseph went to bed. Jo
seph did not pet up. He continued in
bed day after day. week after week ,
year after year , until the sensation of
his course waned , and he became more
or less of an Institution In Milton.
Ills mother and his father have both
died. Now his two brothers , both well
along in years , keep the Plummer
household , which is n prosperous one ,
and take care of Joseph. These two
brothers. Ephniim and Samuel , are
bachelors and cook all the meals.
"When Joseph took his bed , " says
Ephralm Plummer , "father did not
make any objections , but took his food
to him and let him stay there. Father
didn't approve of Joseph going with
the girl because she was only nlxteen
years old. while Joseph waa consider
ably older.
"Joseph felt that after seeing her he
could never love any other girl. He
was stubborn and used to having his
own way. no did not like to be
crossed. At first when he took to his
bed none of us thought that he would
stay there long.
"Now ho Is so weak from staying In
bed so long that he haa lost the use
of his legs. "
TAG BABIES "NO ME BESE. '
Campaign Inaugurated Against Pro
miscuous Kissing of Children.
The latest fad In the nursery Is t <
equip children with printed label :
bearing the words , "No Me Bese" ( "D <
Not Kiss Me" ) .
The tags are the result of a Euro
pcan campaign against the promlscu
ous kissing of children. The wordlni
Is In Spanish because the Idea Is salt
to have originated with Queen Vic
torla of Spain.
On hygienic grounds the queen dl
reeled that her three children shouli
not be kissed by the sundry court nt
tendants who desired merely to

another case the young son of a cer
tain prince was kidnaped and a sum
of 100.000 francs was demanded for
hla return. The prince immediately
pent the money without breathing a
syllable to n single soul about the In
cident , which only became known to
the police some time later from a dis
covery of the letters of negotiation.
Rivals of the Mafia.
Much more fan-caching and almost
as terrible Is the Camorra , an organiz
ed band of assassins who Infest Tur
key and stretch their fearful tentacles
over almost the whole of the Levant.
This society had Its origin in the for
mer kingdom of Naples , where It plun
dered and terrorized the country , prac
ticed wholesale smuggling and under
took for a suitable reward to commit
any crime from murder to arson.
Candidates for membership swore
upon an iron crucifix a fearful oath of
fidelity and secrecy and only after n
long period of training and probation
received the two knives of peculiar
form by 'which the Cainorrisll recog
nized one another.
In Turkey , where the Camorrn 19
particularly nctlvo at present , Incen
diarism is its chief occupation. It is
said that three fires out of every four

Camorra , whoso method Is to remove
nil valuables from the chosen house or
shop , saturate the walls and floors
with petroleum and set flro to It. The
agent who refuses to pay the Insurance
money is promptly assassinated.
Other Breaded Societies.
But the services of the Camorra nro
available to any who nro willing to
pay heavily enough for them , from n
jealous wife who wishes to get rid of
a fair rival to the tradesman who can
not collect his debts. If threats fail
n stab In the dark Invariably settles
the business satisfactorily. Like the
Mafia , the Camorra draws its members
from all classes , from the workingman
to the man of rank and fashion , and
any disloyalty means death to the rec
reant member.
Among many other secret societies
in Europe the Carbonari , In Italy ; the
Nihilists , in Russia the Hetalru has
had princes and even kings among its
members. The Czar Alexander I. owed
allegiance to the Octalra. and Napoleon
leon III. was throughout his reign sub
missive to the grand master of the
Carbonari , whom he Joined ns n young
man. The Grand Duke Nicholas Con-
stantlnovitch , who was exiled to Si
beria for stealing his mother's jewels ,
was a member of the Nihilist society
and had for n wife a Nihilist , daughter
of the postmaster of Tashkend.
GREAT FLIGHT PLANNED.
French Aviator to Attempt Trip From
France to Algiers.
The revival of interest in aviation in
France continues to be marked.
Urague. who recently made a notable
flight from NIce to n little island be
tween Corsica and the Italian coast ,
says It was purely experimental and
that ho intends eventually to fly from
Franco to Algiers , making Ajacclo his
midway station.
He declares that to succed in this
voyage an aviator must possess three
essential things a good motor , an ab
solutely accurate compass and exact
meteorological information. Ue con
siders that the superior speed of aero
planes makes the escort of fast war
vessels wholly useless unless they bo
scattered at regular intervals along the
greater part of the route.
The value of the aeroplane , soys
Grague , has now been demonstrated
to be greater over sea than over terra
lirma. Many experts In France be
lieve the development of aviation de
pends chiefly upon the problem of
dimensions , and there is a growing
opinion that a machine so vast that
air currents will have only a minimum
effect upon It may make navigation of
the atmospheric space relatively as
safe as that of the ocean In ships of
the type of the Mauretania.
Meanwhile a leading French military
organ announces with great confidence
that an Infallible method of making
aeroplanes self balancing has been In
vented.
MORE PEANUTS IMPORTED.
Uncle Sam Increases His Liking For
Goobers.
It may have been duo to the Increase
In the number of peanut eating fans
at the baseball games or it may have
been because of the more extensive de
mands of the confectioner , but the fact
Is the imports of peanuts to the United
States for the year 1910 assumed un
precedented proportions.
Consul General Gaulln at Marseilles ,
France , where great quantities of pea
nuts are raised , reports to the depart
ment of commerce and labor that pea
nut exports to the United States for
the year 1010 rose In value from the
comparatively insignificant total of
$8,772 In 1009 to $371,508. Largo pur
chases of peanut oil by Americana also
were recorded , and the trade was the
briskest in years.
