The game of backgammon was in vented by a Greek about 1224. Che band that rocks the boat is the tend that moves the world to anger. The latest thing in fruit is a straw berry the size of a potato. Have a slice? A fish trust is merely a logical process of evolution. In nature the big fish eat the little ones. One reason why girls shun domes tic service, when you come to think of it, is that so few of them know how to cook. Doctors' fees in China are from two to ten cents, and we frankly state that we have no doubt they are worth it. At Buchanan, Mich., a turtle was found that had been under a dam for 20 years. That's a long time to be under a dam. Grocers emphatically repudiate the idea that they are organizing or in tend to organize a trust. They haven't even a canned agreement. Eight-hour day for mothers? Tut, tut! Most of them would be satisfied if baby stays asleep long enough to guarantee them an eight-hour night. A New York policeman Interfered with an eloping couple, taking them for burglars. This might properly be termed "an arrested marriage." A silver, dollar coined in 1804 has just been sold to a Philadelphia man' for $3,600. We have a much newer one that he can have for a less sum. Nothing looks so proud as a big baloon sailing through space and nothing looks so draggled as that same balloon hanging from the branches of a tree. Those Indiana young women who have resolved to marry no man who hasn't at least $4,000 in cash seem to forget that there is any such thing as love in the world. In an 'endurance race" for automo biles it Is not expected that either the automobile or the driver can en dure the test of bumping into bridges or being dumped into a ditch. A horse in a' country town in Illi nois saw an automobile for the first time the other day, and five minutes later dropped dead. "Poor old Bill!" said the owner. 'He always did have a lot of sense." The telemenaphone, a new inven tion, is designed to take the place of the depot porter who announces the departure of trains. It can't be any more unintelligible than the present occupant of the job. A Pittsburg woman wants a divorce because her husband thought bean soup was all she ought to eat If he wants another wife after the courts have granted him his freedom it might pay him to look around in Bos ton. San Salvador has given a subsidy of $5,000,000 to an American company to build a railroad across it San Salvador may as well say good-by to revolutions. A railroad company of that size will see to it that the coun try Is peaceably governed. The other day a bride stepped from her father's house, ran the gauntlet of flying rice and old shoes, and reach ed the carriage. She was about to en ter when an old shoe, hurled -by a guest, struck one of the horses. He plunged and frightened his mate. The pair ran, and the bride began her hap py life with a broken leg. In time, remarks the Youth's Companion, we shall outgrow the thirteenth century style of humor which leads us to add discomfort and embarrassment if not danger, to a nerve-trying ceremony. Mrs. Agassiz, the widow of the great teacher of science, was herself as much interested in the cause of edu cation as was her famous husband. The first president of Radcliffe col lege, she was all her life the warm friend and personal sympathizer with and adviser of young women; and her great wealth was used, .not for os tentatious luxury, but for many quiet charities. "A memory written all white" is the beautiful way in which Mrs. Julia Ward Howe summed up her life. Something suggestive to young men with artistic skill is to be found in the recent decision of the secretary of commerce and labor, that owing to the scarcity of the supply here litho graphic artists may come from abroad under contract The lithographic com panies have been unable to find Ekilled workmen enough at home, and have had to import them? and the demand for fine lithography is so great that much work is sent abroad to be done by foreigners on American paper and American presses. "Never be contentious. Concern yourself with your duties, and your rights will take can of themselves." A bit of parting advice from a general to the graduates of West Point but applicable to all men, young or old, college graduate or not That Finnish stateswoman's husband who tried to commit suicide because of the wreck of his happy home fol lowing tiie political victory of his better half should feel a subtle bond of sympathy for the New York citizen who was tied face downward to the bed and spanked by his wife. Asa G. Candler, of Atlanta, Ga., has subscribed $75,000 to the Wesley memorial enterprise. launched by the - bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Mr. Candler is one of the wealthiest men in the south. Thirty-two years ago he tramped to Atlanta from his country home in the state, his only asset being the clothes he wore. King George of Greece is proud of his ability to do farm work. He can plow, "cradle" grain, take care of cat tle and horses and milk cows. ji The State Capital Matters f Oeaeral Iaterest l-ROM Nebraska's Seat f Q&namemt Investigation of Express Rates. The state railway commission adopted a resolution to continue its investigation of rates charged by ex press companies in Nebraska and to prosecute vigorously the suit filed by the attorney general to test the-valid ity of the Sibley law and to keep faith with the federal court. This resolution was adopted as a substitute for the resolution of Commissioner Williams, which was that the commission give the express companies fifteen days in which to file rate schedules and if they failed to do so in that time to enforce the provisions of the Sibley act ' The resolution adopted was intro duced by Member Clark and it sets out that the attorney general by and with the consent of the railway com missioners, filed a suif in the state supreme coudt to test the validity of the Sibley act and that the express companies transferred the case to the federal court The commission then agreed not to attempt to enforce the penalty clause until after the legality of the act had been decided. By reason of this agreement or affidavit on the part of the commission, the federal court refused to grant an in junction to the express companies, bv said if the commission did attempt to enforce the penalty clause, applica tion could again be made for an in junction. The Clarke resolution sets out that the commission desires to keep faith with the federal court and therefore it will continue the investi gation of express rates, which is well under way, and secure a decision on the legality of the Sibley law, which recognizes the commission's authority, by providing its rates shall be in ef fect until changed by the commission. Union Pacific Answers Cream Men. The Union Pacific filed a separate answer in the matter of the complaint of certain creameries charging poor service on the part of railroads in the shipment of cream and creamery products. The Union Pacific admits the facilities at the Union station at Omaha are insufficient, but alleges that it is caused by the unprecedented in crease in shipments. It is ready to join with other roads interested in that station in making improvements at the depot and also in constructing a longer incline to the Tenth street viaduct, but says it has no power to do so unless the general managers of the Illinois Central, Wabash, Great Western, Omaha and Rock Island roads' agree to the proposed changes. Under the agreement between the Union Pacific and these roads, the answer alleges, no improvements are to be made at the Union station un less a board of managers comprising the general managers of each road that is a party- to the contract con sents to the changes. For this reason the Union Pacific asks that these roads be made a party to the complaint filed by the creameries, otherwise the roads named will not be bound by the re sult of the hearing. Ewart Telfs of Shipwreck. R. H. Ewart, of Lincoln, who was en the ill-fated Columbia which sank as the result of a collision with the San Pedro, in Shelter Cove, on the Pacific coast has an interesting story to tell cf the almost miraculous escape from a watery grave. Immediately after the accident, no reports were received about his fate and it wa? not until the next day that his friends and relatives here learned through a telegram that he was safe. At no tine was he completely under water and he suffered no serious damage ex cept the loss of all the worldly goods he had with him at the time. He seems to have befa very willing to make the exchange of what he lost in the way of material sources for his life. Fight on Pure Food Law. The Nebraska pure food law Is to be attacked by an eastern oatmeal manufacturing company (Quaker Oats.) H. M. Sapp of Omaha agent of the company, notified Food Commis sioner Johnson that his house would not obey the law and stood ready to spend $100,000 in fighting what he termed its coercion. This coercion, he says, consists in notices by the food commissioner's office that the section of the law prohibiting prizes or premiums in food packages will be enforced and penalties exacted for its violation. s Hayward to Quit' at Kearney. Superintendent Hayward of the Kearney Industrial school will sur render his job September 1. He was a caller at the governor's office and was notified to look out for another job. Mr. Hayward was appointed by Governor Mickey than four years ago. After a Sheriff's Snap. Auditor Searle has asked the attor ney general for a construction of the statutes providing how long a sheriff may keep a prisoner in his county when under sentence to the peniten tiary. The law says the prisoner must be delivered to the prison with in a reasonable time, not more than thirty days from the date of convic tion. The vouchers of J. W. McDon ald of Douglas county excited the in terest of the auditor because this sheriff until recently usually kept his prisoner the full 30 days at 50 cents. Democrats Not on Ticket Secretary of State Junkin has been sending out sample ballots to the va rious county clerks by which they are to get up the primary ballots. The ballof in the Fourth judicial district will not contain the names of George Magney Clark .O'Hanlon and W. C. Lambert democratic candidates. These men failed to file their state ments agreeing to accept the office if elected. The law requires this to be done within five days after the names are filed and this time elapsed before, the matter was attended to. I Increase hi Assessment "i The $16,000,000 increase in' the val uation of property in Nebraska as found by the, county assessors and the State Bead of Equalization will go a long way .toward putting the . state in first-class condition finan-' dally. For one year on the total seven-mill levy the revenue to be de rived on this 'assessment is $2,303,402. while for the biennium the appropria tions amount to $4,367,257.31, and this is figuring $1,083,288 for th state uni versity. The institution of coarse will .get more than that sum, because the regents estimated the assessment roll would be $321,000,000, just misslng.it about $9,000,000, and the sum approp riated includes the proceeds of the one-mill levy. The general fund will have a hak mill more than it has had in past years because the levy for 'school purposes was abolished and that levy added to the general fund. The income for next year cannot be figured because the levy each year is liable to change and the grand assess ment roll does change yearly. Douglas county will contribute more to the support of the state than any other county paying in over $227,000. Inasmuch as the state officers have said there shall be no deficiencies for the next legislature to look ater, and the Board of Public Lands and Build ings and Purchase and Supply has said the same thing, the next legisla ture will probably, find Nebraska well off financially. Testing Omaha Milk. Under the supervision of Food Com missioner Johnson, about sixty sam ples of milk sold in Omaha have been tested, and so far the tests show up remarkably woll, though in some cases the people up there are buying milk which does not come up the lawful test Mr. Johnson is figuring on a scheme of co-opcraion with the city authorities, which he believes will re sult in better dairies In Douglas county. Under the Omaha ordinances the health officer cannot do anything with a dairy outside of the city limits, though licenses are issued to sell milk In the city. Mr. Johnson will urge the licensing authorities to license only those dairies which have been tested for cleanliness by the state bureau. He is at present investigating the milk and cream sold in the Omaha istau rants and hotels, and on the average the quality is much better than is sold in Lincoln. r The Governor's Staff Officers. Governor Sheldon appointed the following staff officers, with the rank of colonel: George E. Jenkins of Fair bury, quartermaster general; J. C. Bills, of Lincoln, inspector general; General John C. Ccwin of Omaha, judge advocate general. Gen- Cowin takes the place of Colonel John Ehr hardt, at present judge advocate gen eral. Major E. H. Phelps was ap pointed assistant adjutant general and Captain Brad Cook quartermaster. The aides are to be appointed later. It is probable Dr. Frank S. Nicholson of St Paul will be appointed surgeon general. Thompson to Attend Meeting. Attorney General Thompson has received a letter from Attorney Gen eral Hadley of Missouri inviting him to be present at a conference of at torneys general of the states of the Mississippi Valley to be held in St Louis this week for the purpose' of fixing a time and place for a meeting to discuss legislation important to the country. As the states mentioned enacted laws regarding corporations along the same lines as Nebraska, the enforcement of legislation familiar to this state will be the subject of the this state will be discussed. Must First Have Certificate. Secretary Royse of the state bank ing board has notified the Homestead Land and Loan company of Kansas City, Mo., to cease doing business in Nebraska until it obtains a certificate of authority from the state banking board or to take the consequences. A fine of not to exceed $1,000 or not more than thiity days in the county jail, or both, may be imposed as a penalty upon any person or office of an in stallment investment company doing business without authority in this state. The company accepts money on installments. Superintendent for Industrial School Maynard Spink of Beatrice is to be appointed superintendent of the state Industrial school for boys at Kearney, according to report, the appointment to become effective September 1. Gov ernor Sheldon has not announced his selection but he has notified Superin tendent Hayward that his term is to expire the .first of September. The governor visited the institution some weeks ago and complimented Superin tendent and Mrs. Hayward on their work, but notified them that he would appoint someone else. A Bright Polk County Girl. Miss Minnie Anderson of Osceola was awarded the grand prize at the oratorical contest at the Epworth as sembly. She is 15 years of age. The contest was under the auspices of the Women's Christian Temperance union and Miss Anderson's subject was "Defense of a Drunkard." Nebraska Will Get S1,117.S1. Senator Burkett has received the Information from the bureau of for estry of the United, States that the treasurer of Nebraska will be paid $1,117.61. as the state's share of the income from the forest reserve. In accordance with the law approved March 4, 1907 10 per cent of all money received from each forest re serve during any year is paid to the state in which the reserve is situated. According to this the three small for est reserves in Nebraska have paid to the government $10,176.10. Assessor's Mistake Costly. The county assessor of Franklin county has brought down the wrath, of the county attorney of that county on his head. A letter was received by the State Board of Equalization from the county attorney that the as sessor had. made a mistake in addition in figuring up the live stock out there and the average price per head of mules and cattle should be almost twice what was returned to the state board. The board Increased this county 2 per cent on mules and 35 per cent on cattle. I ATOMIZER ROUTS BURGLAR. Latter Jumps from Window When Girl'Turns en Spray. . Chicago. Congratulations are still being received by Margaret Hobbs. the 17-yearold daughter or Roy Hobbs, because she had routed. a burglar. Miss Hobbs and her parents had been seated on their front steps for some time when Miss Hobbs went in to the house for a letter she wanted to mail. r t ' Suddenly there was a crash within. Mr. Hobbs rushed Into the house. His daughter was standing near a window holding an atomizer in her hand. An odor of lilac filled the room. The win dow was open. - "Oh, you ought to 'have seen him run," laughed the girl. "I guess this gun of mine scared him more than he did me." Miss Hobbs then told her father that on entering the room she had dis covered the burglar. She took the atomizer from a bureau and turned the stream of perfume on the intruder. He jumped through the window. The same - burglar is believed to have robbed several houses in the same neighborhood of small sums. Miss Hobbs said: "I surprised him as much as he startled me. But oh. it was funny. When he got a whiff of that perfume I guess he thought 'all the evil spirts were after him. "Was I frightened? Yes, I was. after it was all over." HOUSEKEEPERS FORM UNION. Will Resist Exorbitant Demands of Servant Girls and Fix Wage Scale. New York. To resist what they re gard as the exorbitant demands of jhouse servants, the women of Norris itown, N. J., are planning to organize ,a Housekeepers' Protective union, and a meeting for organization will shortly (be held. It is proposed that the women shall each promise not to pay more than a certain price for certain classes of servants. In this way it is hoped 'either to drive out the high-priced .servants or to make them agree to a new scale of wages. : "The servant question," one woman 'deeply interested said, "is now one that brings no good to any one ex cept the intelligence office and the .undertaker. It is emptying our pockets, breaking up our homes and making our lives such a burden that it is breaking down strong women. "The servant problem must either be solved so that people in ordinary .circumstances can employ them or else we will become a people abso lutely without home life." The women say that in 1901 wait resses received $12 a month, while .the same class now demand $20 to $25. In 1891 it was said a cook who would do the laundry work received $14 and now the cheapest wage a cook will work for is $25 and she will not do laundry work. QUESTION OF HEN'S IDENTITY. Man in Court Released When Mother Proves Fowl Is Her Property. Boston. Upon the identification of a hen, a big buff-colored cochin and eight fluffy little chicks, depended the fate of John Cullen, of Hyde Park, In Dedham court, where he was arraigned on a charge of larceny. A number of hen fanciers were in court They sized up the hen's legs, examined her bill and looked over the chicks with a crit ical eye, while Cullen waited in anxious expectancy. The hen was finally identified by Mrs. J. P.Cullen, of Garfield street, the defendant's mother, and he was discharged. Cullen was in Dedham with a hen under one arm. A suspicious peeping sound attracted the police. "I hain't seen nuffln' or no chick ens," said Cullen when accosted. In spite of his protests one of the offi cers thrust his hand into the man's coat pocket and found a number of chickens. Cullen declared that he found the hen in the woods near the home of his mother and that he was returning it to her hen yard. Uses Fireflies as a Lamp. Riverside, N. J. Caleb Hatch was out late the other night with his bicy cle with no lamp, and not caring to risk riding through the town without a light on his wheel he picked up a half pint whisky flask by the wayside and put a dozen fireflies in it This he flung on the front of his machine and the flashing "lightning bugs" saved him from arrest as the local policemen were satisfied when Hatch rode by with bis wheel "all lit up." Fish That Kill Mosquitoes. Naples. A cargo of live fish from Australia has arrived here, the species called "blue eyes." Prof. Count Morner, the Swedish consul at Sydney, discovered that the fish lives wholly on mosquito Icrvae, and the Italian government ordered Its repre sentative in Australia to send him home a cargo of the fish. They will be distributed among all the regions infested with insects and malaria. 8IGN8 PLEDGE NOT TO FLIRT. Husband of Eight Months Will Make "Eyes" No More at Girls. Pittsburg. Marry Mellows and Stephen Kerlock went to the marriage license office eight months ago, got a license and were married. Now, Mary has come back leading Stephen by the hand. As she- had procured the necessary right to marry at that particular office, she concluded that it was there that she should air her troubles. Every since her marriage, she told the license clerk, her husband has persistently flirted with other girls. Even in church, when her head was bowed in worship Stephen would be making eyes at the pretty girls around him. Once he took another girl to church and into a front pew while the wife occupied the family pew in rage. Kerlock admitted all was true with out the least shame. "You will have to sign a pledge to quit flirting," the clerk told him. After much hesita tion he did so, and Mary, happy, led nun away again. J GIANT GEYSER IN v UM MM -? "'k?

JAMES B. DUKE EMPTIES JERSEY . RIVER FOR BRIDE. Woolen Mills Employing 1,000 Hands Cannot Run When Water Supply 'Fails Work Resumed When Pair Leave. New York. la an effort to make his 2,000-acre park look like a fairy land for his bride during their honey moon, James B. Duke pumped the Raritan river dry at Somerville, N. J., and stopped the operation of the Rari tan woolen mills, the largest industry there, which depend on the stream for water supply. Duke has on his estate artificial lakes covering several hundred acres, besides innumerable fountains and waterfalls. All of these are supplied with water from the Raritan river by means of a great pumping plant with a capacity of many millions of gallons a day, which recently was in stalled on the river bank above the woolen mills. In honor of the bride in order that the fountains be made to shoot their sprays high, the lakes were filled to overflowing and cascades dashed with unusual volume over the rocks and the pumps were kept pumping night and day to keep up the display, but ail the while the Raritan river, which is the second greatest watershed in New Jersey, kept dwindling until only a tiny stream found its way through its great bed. The Intake of the Rar itan woolen mills was left dry, and there scarcely was enough water in the wells to supply the big boilers of the mill. The Raritan woolen mills are owned by the Einstein estate 'and employ more than 1,000 operatives. While the managers of the mills were inclined to do all they could to honor Duke's bride, they suddenly were confronted by a business proposition which led them to summon Manager Smith, of i ajrf ih"h af iV FINDS HIS LOST Waiters Aid Hotel Guest In Search For Missing Molars. Chicago. A guest took a chew of tobacco in the Victoria hotel the other night and started trouble that reached to the furthermost limits of the hos telry. It all came to a focus in the cafe when the guests and waiters regarded with curiosity a guest who suddenly struck a match held it under the table and began a careful search for some lost article. All the other guests stopped to see where the torchlight procession was heading. The waiters flocked to aid the guest In the hope that they might recover a tip-provoking diamond. "Done drapped er di'mun, cap'n?" queried the head waiter. Bedbugs Cause Woman Tries Explosive Exterminator with Disastrous Results. Indianapolis, Ind. As in the days of old Greece, when one of the ancient philosophers of that period cudgeled his brains in an effort to perfect a pat ent bug exterminator, Mrs. Nancy Wil son, of West Washington street, tried a similar experiment the other day, and history repeated itself. Thore was a blinding flash, a loud report, and flames leaped to the ceil ing. The brave firemen hurried out on the painted fire wagons and put down the threatened conflagration. The loss: . One bedtick. Some exterminator. One bedstead. Bugs; number unknown. In the former case some years ago in Greece, it appears, there were no such fire-fighting facilities as Indian apolis enjoys, unfortunately, and it is reported that the town was almost devastated. An investigation which followed the fire developed the sin YELLOWSTONE PARK ft the Duke estate, to look over the situ ation. Mr. and Mrs. Duke had just left the estate for a three weeks' auto tour, and the manager decided there was no need to prolong the display and agreed to stop the drain from the river and give the mills a fair share of the water, so the Duke pumping plant was closed down and the river will be allowed its normal flow for several days. BOYS TO PAY FATHER'S DEBTS. Sons of Ohio Forger Will Devote Lives to Work. ' Kenton, O. The tvo sons cf former Mayor Black, who declares part cf the I2S.000 proceeds of his confessed for geries went to defray the expenses cf the boys in college, will dedicate their lives to the repayment cf the entire defalcation to the victims. Miss Har riet Stanley and Dr. Sepp. "I will see that every cent of the money is paid back," announced John Black. 22 years old. 'This shall be the first aim of my life." "It shall be my duty likewise," de cleared his brother, William. "We will work together to remove the debt. I shall not rest until it is a!I dis charged." John Black has ended his junior year at Wabash college, Crawfords ville, Ind. He had planned to enter the medical school of the University of Pennsylvania this fall. Instead he will sell molasses and calico over a Bucyrus counter. The younger brother had planned to return to Miami university. He had completed his first year there. "We were not extravagant at col lege," said John, "but it is torture to learn now that every cent we had was stolen by our own father. He loved us dearly. From our childhood days he had always told us how he was determined we should have the best of educations." TEETH IN PLUG "No. confound it, I've lost two teeth." Mad as a hornet the guest ran out to Clerk McHenry, who is as noted a peacemaker as ever stayed away from The Hague. "I'll make you pay for them!" he shouted. "What?" asked Mr. McHenry. "My teeth," said the guest. By this time everybody in the house knew that two bridge teeth, belonging to a well dressed man, had disap peared mysteriously. The whole house was searched. "Have you seen two teeth?" became the question of the hour. Finally the guest pulled a plug of tobacco from his pocket and started to take a bite. There, in the side of the plug, nestled the two missing teeth. "Here's where we dodge a law suit," said McHenry. a Bad Blaze. gular origin and ever after the Gre cian philosopher who experimented on the new bug exterminator, was fa mous. History does not record whether he was cited for criminal negligence, but it does record that he was badly disfigured in the melee, and that he suffered great loss of personal effects, including, singularly enough, one bed. With Mrs. Wilson there was the happy result that when the fire which threatened her house was drowned by the firemen the bugs were effectually exterminated. English Lord Now Drummer. Detroit, Mich. Lord Sholto Doug las, descendant of the marquis of Queensbury, who framed the present prize ring rules, is now a traveling salesman for a Detroit jewelry firm. He has dropped his title as well as bis money and is known as just Sholto Douglas, drummer. A New York policeman has retired with a fortune of $500,000. Wh-red-d he g-t it?
