States senators, the name cuts no figure. Last week the United States senate passed a law prohibiting railroad em ployes from working longer than six teen consecutive hours. Senator La Follette is the father of the law, and it is considered another anti-railroad bill, but to hear the railroad employee talk, they are more opposed to the bill than the railroad companies. The latter can easily get more men, but the em- ployes like to make "over time," for there is good money in it. However, it is a good law if it will help prevent railroad accidents. The salaries of high school teachers in Nebraska must go higher. We can not hold even the best of our inexpe rienced graduates who have profes sional training at present salaries. The mountain and Pacific coast states offer from twenty to fifty per cent higher salaries than are paid in Nebraska. Living in these states is only ten to twenty per cent higher. Teachers are themselves largely responsible for their low salaries. Uphold the state super intendent in his efforts to secure higher qualifications and salaries will rise spontaneously. At present teachers cannot possibly form a trust, or per haps even a union. We are too indi vidualistic. " (Our enemies might say too selfish, self centered .obstinate and jealous.) We can safely urge higher professional attainments and more equitable graduation of salaries. Uni versity Journal. Three oompanies of the twenty-fifth United States cavalry were stationed at Brown ville, Texas, last year. The feeling between the citizens and the colored soldiers were never of the best, and one night about twenty of the sol diers "shot up the town," doing con siderable damage, killing one man. President Roosevelt sent army officers down to Texas to investigate this dis graceful action of the colored troops, and upon their report dishonorably discharged the entire three companies, consisting of about 150 men. This action of the president has created a great deal of ill feeling in some quar ters, and Senator Foraker of Ohio has asked the senate to investigate it. The American people, without respect to party, have the most implicit confi dence in President Roosevelt. They know he only does that which he be lieves to be right and just He cares not how it affects his own popularity, he wants to get the best results. But in this case it looks as though he had erred, and we believe he is a big enough man to correct the error himself. As commander in chief of the army he had the legal right to discharge these men, but the innocent should not be made to suffer with the guilty. Some of these men have been in the United States army for over twenty years, some were in the hospital that night, some were absent on furlough, but all were dishonorably discharged, losing their military and civil rights tor life. There should have been a very thor ough court martial, and if the guilty ones could not be found, and discipline demanded it, they should all have been mustered out, but not with perpetual dishonor. Oareer.hya-all.poetaea main BKX B8MMt XbIW MOStttl The newspapers from time to time point out to the farmers the advantages ot buying at home instead of sending to the mail order houses, and appeal to them to patronize home industries and bay of their local stores. And they are right in doing this, for if the expense of ordering, the expense of shipping, the liability of not getting the right things, ate., is considered, in nine cases out of ten they can do as well at home, and be sides it is a well known fact that the greater the prosperity and growth of our town, the greater the value of the sur roaadiag fans country. But it is also tisae to call attention to the fact that ctoj folks are getting into the habit of ' baying too many gold bricks from stran- ia place of putting their smrplus into legitisaate aosae iadastriaa. Last week a Uaited Stataa here to investigate as ,to, whether or not the postal laws had been violated ia the formation of a company to file on min eral lands in Wyoming. A number of Columbus people have tboaght well of this company after looking over its prop osition. The United States inspector was not after our Colambus people, he knew they went into it in good faith. What be waa looking up was whether the promoter, in trying to get people to invest, made fraudulent statements through the mails. DOIKGS BEYOND THE COOffT LIKE Mrs. John Dabaner of David City dropped dead on the streets of that place Friday evening while going home from the post office. Heart trouble is supposed to be the cause of her death. She was sixty years old and leaves a large family, and had been a resident of Butler county since 1886. To keep up with the fast business strides of her sister town Columbus, Madison capitalists have organized a new bank, to be called the First National, with a capital of $50,000. The new building is described as being one of the finest fixtured buildings in the state, with all the latest modern conveniences. Thomas O'Shea is pres ident and John Tully cashier. Madison county is greatly elated over the fact that the county poor farm has at last cleaned itself of debt. Aside from this fact the county has lately made extensive improvements with a heating plant, system of sewer age and water closets on each 'floor, and it is expected that the coming year will see that institution not only paying a reasonable dividend, but actually caring for other paupers. "Johnnie" Dineen, real estate bro ker, an old Columbus citizen, but now a resident of Madison, across the line north, in speaking of the wild flight of land values in a recent interview with the editor of the Madison Star-Mail says: " Will the top price on land ever be reaced?" was the question John Dineen the real estate prince was try ing to answer to a group of anxious listeners in the Star-Mail office Satur day evening when it leaked out that Mr. Dineen had just closed a deal for Wm. P. Thatch's place in north Mad ison to Mr. Carl Schilling, the price being over $100 per acre. The total price paid was $15,200, but as the railroad has a right of way through the land it makes a top price for the quarter up to date. Mr. Dineen says he has plenty of good cheap land but not in Madison county, and that the high price on land here has not been reached yet, so we can expect to see $150 per acre mark reached soon." While we take the very greatest pride in knowing and telling the world about the great resources and advan tages that Columbus and surrounding territory possess, and about its steady increase of population, yet we must consider "there are others," and our neighboring little city Clarkson, in Colfax county, has the following great advancement in that line to crow oven "The census of 1900 gave Clarkson a population of 314, but since that time the town has grown in every way at least fifty new homes have been erected, and every lot belonging to the Pioneer Townsite Co. which owned all the original town site, has been sold, save two. For the past, year or two various estimates as to the population of our little city have been made, the figures ranging from 400 to 500. To settle the matter and satisfy his own curiosity, Jos. Krikac has the past week taken a complete census of the town and tells us that the exact popu lation is 548, nearly double what it was six years ago. The closing chapter in the late shoot ing affray which occurred at Norfolk some time ago, was closed Saturday when the last victim in the case paid the penalty for whatever hand she played in the affair, died. The woman had been a notorious character in the sugar city for years, and one of the murdered' parties was very well known in Columbus, his chief occupation being a gambler. ANorfolk'dispatch says: The third victim of a tragedy that occurred in Norfolk last Septem ber, succumbed here at 11 o'clock yes terday in the, person of Nell Bailey, wife of the dead Lee Bailey, who was shot. Nell Bailey suffered a stroke of paralysis the' day after Bailey was killed, and she had never left her bed since until the undertaker came today. She will be buried Saturday afternoon beside two former usbaade, Bailey aiid a man named Wells. Thewoaaaa had no relatives, so far as known, ex cepting Albert Bailey of Omaha, who was a brother-in-law. She had lived for a score of yean ia Norfolk. r Columboa. Nebraska. Jan. 2, 1907.

RIa Normal Leant of Life bat Oae seventh That of Maa. Surely it is by au unfortunate dis pensation of nature tbat the dog, be yond all question the chief friend of man amoug the other animals, should have a normal length of life which is no more, on a fair computation, than one-seventh of his own. There is no other fiijure which expresses the rela tive ages of man and his dog so well. The puppy of oue year Is about at the same canine age as tiie child of seven. At two years he is probably a little more advanced than a fourteen-year-old boy, but the canine age of three is very nearly equivalent to the human twenty-one. And so It continues through all the years of canine and of human prime respectively, the ratio fairly well preserved. It has. to be ad mitted that the old age of the dog, thus computed, outlasts the old age of the man. One hears stories which seem to be fairly authentic of dogs living up to eighteen, and if we do hear stories of human beings living similarly up to 12(5, at least we do not believe them. But such an age for a dog is quite the extreme limit. The dog of ten .years approaches the equivalent of the three score and ten which bad been named as the fair end of the human crea ture's ' tether, and 'on the "whole the multiplication of canine years by seven all through the stages of life gives Hie corresponding age of man better than any other figure gives it Westminster Gazette. OLD LEATHER. Ueea to 'Which Discarded Boot and Shoes Are Pat; Old boots and shoes of leather are cut' up into small pieces and then are put for two days into chloride of sul phur, the effect of which is to make the leather very hard and brittle. When this Is fully effected the mate rial is withdrawn from the action of the chloride of sulphur, washed with water, ''dried and ground to powder. It is then mixed with some substance that will cause It to adhere together, such as shellac or other resinous mate rial or even good glue, and a thick solution of strong gum. It is afterward pressed into molds to form combs, buttons and a variety of other useful objects. Prussiate of potash is also made out of old leather. It is heated with pearl ash and old iron hoops in a large put. The nitrogen and carbon form cyano gen and then unite with the irou and potassium. The soluble portions are dissolved out and the resulting salt, added to oue of each, produces the well known Prussian blue, either for dyeing purposes or as a pigment. London Boot and Shoe Trades Jour nal. A Doahtfal Compliment. Although Mr. Hobbs was taken at his face value by his son and heir, there were times when the youthful William's admiring tributes embar rassed his parent in the family group. "I had quite an encounter as I came home tonight," the valorous Mr. Hobbs announced at the .tea table. "Two men, slightly intoxicated, were having a quarrel on the corner. As usual, there was no policeman in sight, and they were in a fair way to knock each oth er's brains out when I stepped between and separated them." "Weren't you afraid, father?" asked Mrs. Hobbs in a quavering voice. "Xo, indeed! Why should I be?" in quired Mr. Hobbs, inflating bis chest. "I guess there isn't anybody could knock any brains out of my father!" said Willy proudly. Youth's Compan ion. Cock Growers Aat Extinct Trade. "Cock crowers in the past got good pay," said an antiquary, "but theirs is an extinct business now. Cock crow ers were employed by the rich in their town houses to crow the hour. They crowed only the rising hour for the most part, but during Lent they crow ed everything even the halves and quarters all night long. It was a kind of penance. These men were trained from childhood to crow. Sometimes in their childhood an operation was per formed on their throats to give them a more cocklike delivery. An ancestor of mine on the maternal side' was a famous cock crower in bis day." Lou don Graphic. laflaeaee. No human being can come into the world without increasing or diminish ing the sum total-of human happiness, not only of the present, but of every subsequent age of humanity. No one can detach himself from this connec tion. There is no sequestered spot in the universe, no dark niche along the disk of nonexistence to which be can retreat from his relations to others, where he can withdraw the influence of his existence upon the moral desti ny of the world. Everywhere he will have companions who will be better or worse for his influence. The Usaal Way.

There were three principal clubs White's, Brookes' and Boodles'. White's was originally a "chocolate house" in William III.'s time, but became a pri vate club early in the eighteenth 'cen tury and was used by the Tories. It was a club always noted for high play and betting, and very curious some of their bets were, the old wager book being still preserved. Brookes' was the Whig club and was then conduct ed by that Liberal Brookes, whose speculative skill Is hasty credit and a distant bill; - Who, nursed in clubs, disdained a vulgar trade. Exults to trust and blushes to be -paid. Among the members of this 'club were the Prince of Wales, and, of course, his fidus Achates, Sheridan, be sides the great Charles James Fox. who here played deeply and whose name is oft recorded in the wager book, which, however, is of older date and was kept when the club was held at Almack's. "Lord Northington Insts Mr. C. Fox, June 4, 1774, that he (Mr. C. F.) is not called to the bar liefore this day four years." "March 11. 1773. Lord Bolingbroke gives a guinea to Mr. Charles Fox and is to receive a thousand from him whenever the debt of this county amounts to 171,000, 000. Mr. Foxjs not to pay the 1.000 till he is one, of his majesty's cabinet." "April 7, 1701. Mr. Sheridan' bets Lord Lauderdale aud Lord Thauet 25 guineas eacli that parliament will not consent to any more lotteries after the present oue voted to be drawn in Feb ruary next." From "The Dawn of the Nineteenth Century." by Johu Ashton. HE DIED FIGHTING.. Hew Priaee Loala Kapoleoa "Was Killed by the Zalaa. How Prince Louis Napoleon was kill ed by the Zulus June 1. 1S70. is told graphically in the "book by Sir Evelyn Wood, who took part in that war. The little party which the prince accompa nied was surprised and attacked. Sir Evelyn writes: "The Zulus in pursuit ran first after the two white soldiers who were on the flanks, three or four men, beaded by Labanga, following the prince. His horse had jumped just as he was mounting, and bis sword fell out of its scabbard. He was very ac tive and was vaulting on his horse In motion when the wallet on the front of the saddle broke away, and he fell to the ground, being at this time only sixty yards behind the (British) fugi tives. There were seven men who ac tually fought the prince. When Lan galebele, pursuing the fugitives, first saw Labanga, he was running away from the prince, who was rushing at him. Labanga, crouching in thegrass. threw an assagai at him. The first as sagai stuck in the prince's thigh, aud. withdrawing it from the wound, he kept his foes at bay for some minutes. In the native's words: 'He fought like a lion. He lired two shots, but with 'out effect, and I threw an assagai at him. which struck him. as I said at the time, but I always allowed Labanga's claim to have kjjled him, for his assa gai hit the prince in the left shoulder, a mortal wound.' " Some Odd Willi. One of the oddest documents of the will kind known was that of Queen Austrigilda, consort of King Goutnim of Burgundy. The dying princess en joined upon her husband to slay and. bury in the same grave with her the physicians who had attended her. An other will was that of a husband who forbade his wife's marrying on pain of his returning to haunt her. This is quite different from that of a Avoinan who instructed her executors to seek out "some nice, good, pretty girl" who would make an affectionate second wife to her spouse. It is a fact inter esting in this connection that the first Napoleon actually bequeathed 10,000 francs to a fellow named Cantillou, who had been tried for attempting the assassination of the Duke of Welling ton. A Problem la Life. They had met in the subway and in the interval of passing a few stations had fallen to talking of a lovely wo man friend who had died. "How did she die? Do you know?' he asked. "She nursed a little niece through an infectious disease, then took it herself and died of it." said she. "A strange Providence!" he mused sadly. "She, lovely, gracious, charm ing, everything to live for aud a bless ing to her friends, to die in order that a child might live. A strange aud un accountable Providence!" New York Press. Good aad Oaarood. The subject of ancestors is often an Interesting topic of conversation. A lady extremely proud of her mother's family created a sensation and made her listeners wonder a little when she remarked: "My father filled many re sponsible positions. We ail have the greatest respect for him. My father was a good man, but" and a certain stiffening of the shoulders and an added expression of firmness in the good lady's face added importance to her conclusion "my mother was an Osgood!" i : Maa to Blaaae.
