The Itemized statement of the expenses of
the patho-blologlcal laboratory , published by
Tea DEE tills morning , proved to bo an eye
oponor. It created aluioat as much talk as
the submission question , especially In polit
ical circles. This led TUB BBS representa
tive to seek nn interview with Sonntor Nos-
bit , ouo of the conservative members of tbo
Nebraska legislature , and ho was not slow
to express his opinion in relation thereto.
"What do you think of the patho-blological
laboratory , and billings' work In general f"
"The most prominent thing about It Is Its
name and expense. In my Judgment It Is n
misnomer. I nave noted the items of expen
diture ns published by THE 13in and , taking
Into consideration what has ueen done by
Hillings , I fail to sco anything that would
Justify the outrageous expenditure. 1 doubt
not , however , that some of the rumors and
talic going the rouna are greatly exaggerated.
The controversy that has been going on be
tween Hillings and the live stock commis
sion could hardly bear any other fruit.
Wliilo tlioro uro doubtless some bud features
in the veterinarian department , It has Its
good features. The money that has been
expended for horses killed , supposed to huvo
had glanders , has gone bade to the people ,
and the state ! ms reaped the benefit of re-
circulation. 1 .nust say that $1(1,000 ( is a big
sum of money to expend for any purpose
without apparent beneficial results , I am
unable to sea anything that will wiirrant it
continuation of the university experiment
station or that part of it manipulated by Dr.
Hillings. If I am rightly Informed , he has
Inoculated Homo over 1,700 head of hogs dur
ing the past few months , and between 1,60 J
and 1,000 oi the number have died. Nona
of our farmers or breeders have received a
nickel's bmicJU , bo fur us I liuvd yet been In
formed , whorous Ltillincs has gone right on
drawing his salary , adding contrivance- and
exKiii | u to the laboratory without giving the
people anything in return. I do not now
think that ttie Nebraska legislature will
stand It. Hillings will have to furnish evi
dence tlmt Ins experimental worlc promises
fruit at uo uncertain nuturo. "
" \Yhatdo.vouthIuk of the dual plank in
the submission blllt"
"It will have n two-fold effect. It will
curry thu third party squarely against the
high license plank and call out a full con-
servatlvo voto. it Joins the usuo , and will
nuiko the campaign Uvo years hence very
spirited. 1 feul that the pledges of the re
publican party have been fully kept and
shall bo content with the result , whatever it
may be. The question in all of its phases la
fully before the people. This could not have
been without the dual plank. "

Night before last the sibk man's father re
turned from the bedside of his son with the
news of his convalosconso , and his many
friends hero were unprepared for the nies-
sagc that chronicled his death. During the
past two years , and since his marriage to
Miss Grace , daughter of Judge O. P. Mason ,
Kirby 1ms lived at Lawrence , where ho has
been cashier ot the bank. Two
weeks aso it was thought that Mrs. Hammond
mend could not live , but she survived , and
now with her babe doubly mourns her loss.
Mr. Hammond's death is the result of a re-
lupse from a severe attack of typhoid pneu
monia.

AMONG TflE POOR AND LOWLY ,
A Pauper Inventor Who is Planning
a Revolution.
VESTIBULE TRAINS OUTDONE.
An Engine That Will Work Wonders ,
and Coaches That Will Combine
the Ijuxurlcs of Home anil
Garden Promenades.
A. Poor Man's Workshop.
Among the many weakly callers for
aid at the county building is a little
woman named Rush. Mrs. Rush , hop
husband , and their seven-year-old boy
reside in a little frnmo hut on Four
teenth street and tlio Union Pacific
tracks.
THE BEE man in visiting poverty
dropped into the Rush abode.
It is a queer looking structure. Big
lumber piles loom up all nround it ,
making the tar-board covered dwelling
look like a pigmy among giants , The
usual rusty link of steve pipe sticks up
through tlio roof for a chimney. The
side which faces the tracks is all win
dows. The Fourteenth street front is
embellished with a few ornamented
posts. A fence is built around their
little homo.
Parenthetically it might bo stated
that Fourteenth otroot comes to a sud
den stop when you roach the Rush
homo. At this point it drops a few
stitches in the thread of its existence ,
picks them up again after it scales the
Union Pacific's main tracks , then goes
on duo south and dies when it strikes
Councilman Hascall's cut stone pile-Ion
Cnstolliir street.
But to return to Mr. Rush.
Ho is au inventor.
THK BEK man was admitted into u
room that serves ns kitchen and living
room for the family and. workshop for
the male progenitor. A rude working
bench is nailed In front of two of the
windows. Tlio board walls are covered
with gaudy pictures and drawings of
engines and cars with which Mr. Rush
hopes to revolutionize railroad travel
and reap a fortune. On the worlc bench ,
n model of u railroad ; each stood , con-
Btructod in the main out of old oyster
cans. What appeared to be a confused
mass of babbitt metal , screws , nails and
scraps lay alongside of the coach. On
a chair in front of the bench sat the in
ventor.
"I want you to explain your proposed
railroad train to me , Mr. Rush , " said
the reporter. "Tun Bun wants to give
the public an idea of the rovolutiou it
will work in railroad travel. "
"Just the opportunity I have been
waiting for , " ho answered. "I don't '
think I can do it justice , though , just
now. Do you know , air , that after work
ing for two years at it , ana having
everything all ready to send a model on
to Washington , some miscreant sot lire
to my humble houie and all my work
won tup in smoke. It WAS a grout mis
fortune , sir , and now I must do the worlc
all over again , "
The reporter wua aware of the fa g
that a flru consumed the Rush homo on
the night of the 10th of luat September ,
but informo'd the old gentleman that an
explanation with the crude models ho
had would be interesting.
Mr , Rush proceeded. lie placed the
three chunks of babbit metal together ,
and there was u slight resemblance to a
locomotive.
"I call my locomotive a double acting
hydraulic o'ligino. The cylinders of the
ordinary locomotive have four openings
to permit the on trance of steam. The
cylinders of my invention will have
eight , thus doubling the power inas
much as I secure double the
amount of steam for propell
ing purposes. Not only that ,
but my invention provides for six cylin
ders whereas the ordinary locomotive
has but two. Two of these cylinders
will bo at the forward end , two in the
center under the cab and two at the
rear end under the tender. Thoongine
and tender will rest on ton driving
wheels , each wheel seven foot in di
ameter. The five driving wheels on
each side will bo connected by a contin
uous driving shaft , and the wheels will
bo securely fastened to the axles. Do
you see the object of this ? "
The reporter had an idea of the ob
ject sought , but preferred to have Mr.
Rush explain it.
"Prevents waste of power. You've
stood and watched an engine struggle
with a heavy train ; the driving wheel
on ono side would hang fast to the rails
while thobo on the other side would go
around like greased lightning and not
aid the engine to move tlio train a par
ticle. With my engine that will bo
avoided. When ono driving wheel
stops all stop ; when ono revolves
blowly all revolve slowly ; when ono
whirls around rapidly all whirl rapidly
perfect uniformity in their work , no
loss of power , no waste of elTort. "
'I thought some of providing for an
an assistant engineer , but I guess I'll
give that ui > , " said Mr. Rush , as he
picked up what was supposed to bo a cab
and stuck it on the engine whore the
smoke stack ought to bo.
" 1 was going to put him here. What
do you think of it ? "
TUB Bui : man advised Mr. Rush to
dispense with the assistant engineer.
Some railroads , ho suggested , were
considering the advisability of placing
the responsibility of running the engine
on the cow-catcher and dispensing with
both engineer and liruman.
Mr. Rush agreed to chop off the as
sistant , and then placed a cab on the
engine jimt where the cab ought to bo.
"There , " ho said , "is where the en
gineer and conductor will bo. Do you
see this opening ? This is for a power
ful telescope. With the aid of a power
ful electric light , the workings of which
I will explain further on , the conductor
can guard against the possibility of col
lisions or accidents. The telescope
will worlt on a swivel , and with it the
conductor can sweep the country for lif-
teen vcs , ' twenty miles around , and see
anything thnt might impede the safe
progress of his train. "
"Can he see nround sharp curves
with the telescope ? " asked the reporter.
"How can , ho sweep the country all
around him if ho can't see around a
curve , " testily roiolnod Mr. Rush.
Ho then explained the workings of
his patent pump , in the mazes of which
the reporter got lost. The sum of It
was thnt not a drop of water was wasted.
The saving of water seems to bo an up
permost idea with the Rushs.
"Now I want to explain the sot of'
cylinders in the center of the engine.
Each cylinder will do double work.
The front part of each will assist in
driving the engine. There will bo a
dividing partition in the center. The
back part of ono will furnish the power
for working the pumps , The other will
be utilized for u complete system of
electric lights , making the entire train
as light us day , Powerful lights will be
placed in the cub and around the engine
to aid in the usa of the telescope. "
"My train will boubooa to the brake-
man , " haid Mr. Rush. "I think I can
arrange to dispense with the brukuman
entirely. It will bo self-coupling. The
engineer can detach the engine or any
of the cars from the cab at will. The
car btovo will bo dispensed with , and I
will arrange to utilize the exhaust
steam to heat the entire train , and fur
nish the heat for cooking purposes in
the hotel ear. The brake will bo a
novelty. It can be worked either by
hand or steam. It will , of course , bo
patented. I call it a patent steam ec
centric grappling brake. There will
bo five alarm whistles , each emit
ting a distinct and separate sound , and
each sound having a diTorout ( , signifi
cance. "
Thu BKE man thought one whistle on
each locomotive was enough for any
community to bear , and so expressed
himself. Ho was silenced by Mr. Rush's
assurance that the noise made by his
whistles would bo music to tlio hearer ,
and wo passed on to tlio coach.
"They are to bo 100 feet long , " the
old man said.
"Made of whale-boneso they will bend
when rounding a corner':1" asked the re
porter.
"I'll take care of tnat with my patent
pivot trucks , throe sets of which will bo
under each coach , " ho responded.
"Tho promenade around my uoaehos is
the feature that will commend them.
Take the sleeping car.for example , " and
ho directed his attention to a drawing
tacked on the wall , "On a line level
with the lloor , extending all around the
car. will bo a sidewalk , protected by a
hand-rail. There will bo no aisle In
the car , and each stateroom will bo
boparato. Entrance to each can bo had
only from the outside , and tlio occupant
of ono stateroom is in no danger of being
disturbed by the prying glances of an
other. "
"That will Oo a splendid bridal tour
car , " the reporter ventured to assert.
"in what wayV" asked the Inventor.
"Tho ontsido promenade will be an
excellent place for the after math lovemaking -
making that is usually a part of the
honeymoon , " the reporter again ven
tured.
"Specially designed for that , an well
as for long-journey llirtations , " the old
man chuckled.
"Along with the sidewalk around the
bottom of the coach , " ho continued , "I
will have ono on top on a level with the
roof. Tills will bo reached by stnir.s ,
and will afford an excellent opportunity
for the tiavelor to view the country ho
passes through with his Hold glass.
The brakeman nuvor outers thu cars ,
but travels from ono end of the train to
the other on the sidewalks. I have
concluded to place the lower sidewalk
all around tlio baggage cars and sleeping -
ing cars , but only in thu conlor of the
ordinary couclios and hotel cars. Don't
you think that's u good plnnV"
TJIJ : Bun scribe assured him that the
luxury of the promenade should bo ac
corded rich and poor alike , and the or
dinary day coach should be provided
with it as well as the drawing-room
car.
car.Tho old inventor then reverted to his
engine , and explained how ho intended
to provide u sidewalic around thu work
ing parts to on able the llroinan to walk
nil around it and oil the machine while
in motion ,
"Have you received any encourage
ment from railroad managers ? " the re
porter uskod.
While the so von-year-old son ,
wLobo name is William Henry
Harrison Rush , petitioned his papa
for u kiss and got it , Mrs. Rush stated
that although her husband had boon
two years at work on his invention , he
had not sought the attention of any of
the railroad magnates. ' 'A number of
section hands and yardmen huvo soon
it , " aho said , "and they all urged him
to keep on nt it and perfect it , for it's
bound to work wonders. "
The old man is a carpenter by trade ,
and claims to hnvo resided in Omaha
for twonty-livoyears. Ho is the father
of four children , who uro now living ,
two daughters residing in North Pintle ,
a son in tlio state reform school.nnd the
youngster at home with him. The de
scription of his railroad train is in the
main particulars just as given to Tim

spent two years of his time , and which
was burnt with his little hut last .sum
mer , ho had on exhibition at ono time
in the cominibsiouors' room at the coun
ty building. IIo is old , docropid , un
able to work , with a mind decidedly un
balanced.

through poverty and squalor.
