Judge Macy Is busy with another of the
now somewhat famous cases growing out
of the litigation between E. W. Nnsh of
Omaha nnd the Union Land nnd Improve
ment company , of which John W. Paul Is
president. The case on trill Is one that
was transferred from the law to the equity
docket Inst term. In this action Mr. Nash
sues the Union Land and Improvement com
pany for two notes , aggregating $30,000 , and
asks the foreclosure on something over 1,000
shares of the company's stock , valued at
$100 n share , which were put up as col
lateral. In answer to the claim the Union
Land and Improvement company asks Judg
ment against Nash for 1,000 shares of stock
at $100 a share , which , It Is claimed , were
sold to Nash , voted by him at the meetings
of the company , but never paid for ,
The defendant also supports Its counter
claim by the charge that Paul had evolved
a scheme lor the locution of a stock yards
on the company's lands , and had many In
dustrial enterprises ready for location when
the action was commenced by Nash to break
up the company. This charge Is met by the
depositions of Marvin Hughltt , president of
the Northwestern road. J. M. Whitman ,
general manager , and C. E. Simmons , land
commissioner of the same corporation. Paul
hns claimed and testified In former trials
growing out of this litigation that he had
negotiations pending with these gentlemen
who were to aid In the promotion of the
stock yards enterprise on this side of the
river.
There la a great deal of sameness In the
three depositions. Each of the gentlemen
testifies that he knows Paul and had confer
ences with him In the fall of 1894 , nnd that
Mr. Paul told him all about his plans for
building up the big Industrial center on the
Iowa side of the river. Each gentleman ,
however. Insists that he refused In his own
behalf , and In behalf of the company , to
buy nny stock In the stock yard enterprise
or to take nny step that would commit the
company or the Individual In any manner.
Whitman testified that Paul told him that
a stock yards company was being organ
ized , that nn experienced packer would
erect n packing house , that all of the South
Omaha packers would remove to this side
of the river and that the Omaha smelter
would be moved across the river If the
people of Omaha would allow It. Still Mr.
Whitman says he could not see his way
clear to take any stock In the enterprise and
refused to do so. This la the substance of
each of the depositions.
There Is nn Immense amount of testimony
In the case , and the hearing will continue
several days. _

When the Board of Supervisors ordered
the county surveyor to survey nnd plat the
accreted lands In Pottawattarale county
along the Missouri river a winter's Job was
laid out. County Surveyor Cook , In speaking
of the work yesterday , said that he would
make no effort to commence H until In No
vember for the reason that much of the prop
erty Is overgrown with willows and that H
would be almost Impossible to make any
progress with the work until after the
leaves have fallen and the brush and under
growth killed by frost. There are two big
strips of this accreted land , one below Man-
nwa and one northwest of Crescent. There
are probably a thousand acres In the Crescent
patch and probably COO In the Manawa end
of the county. In both these locations f'ere
Is a great difficulty confronting the surveyor.
The boundary Hue Is in dispute between
Iowa nnd Nebraaka nnd there will be great
difficulty In locating the property. Mills
county and jnost of the counties along the
Missouri have had tuelr accreted land sur
veyed and keep a chetk on them from year
'
to'year. . No survey of the kind has ever
boon made In this county and Mr. Cook will
have to guide him In his work. He expects
that the work will Iteep him busy for a
mouth or more.

Tuesday afternoon n man , who said his
name was M. E. Sells nnd his home In Hast
ings , la. , called nt Lovejoy's livery stable
and engaged n double carriage and team
for n short drive around the city. He told
the liveryman that he was a particular per
sonal friend of Lew Genunc and wanted to
take him out riding after the county con
vention was over. He said he would drive
around to the county court house where
the convention was In session and If Lew
was not ready to go he would bring the
team back and wait at the stable until
he was ready , The liveryman Informed the
police yesterday afternoon that twenty-four
hours had elapsed and neither Gcnung nor
his friend had shown up and there was a
strong suspicion that one or the other
of them had stolen the rig. There was
no reason to believe that the democratic
candidate- for congress knew anything about
the transaction and the police were forced
to come to the conclusion that the stranger
who had slandered Genung by claiming him
as a dear friend was only n common horse
thief. Discretions were sent out In all
directions , _

PIERRE , S. D. , Sept. 1C. ( Special. ) The
success of storage reservoirs , which have
been constructed by government assistance
In Wyoming , Is calling out a demand In
many papers of this state for a similar
system for South Dakota. This demand Is
the strongest from the papers In the west
ern portion of the state , which tire near
enough the work In Wyoming to know more
of the benefits secured. It Is asserted In
the arguments advanced , that one-half the
sum expended In protecting the lower Mis
sissippi country , If expended on storage
reservoirs on the upper tributaries of that
stream , would be more effective In the way
of protection of that section , nnd bo of
bcncllt to the northwest ns well as to the
south. A properly regulated reservoir sys
tern holding the water to be distributed
all through the season Instead of all going
with n rush In the spring. The discussion
If kept up may result In action by the
next congress looking toward n system
Inaugurated under the supervision of gov
ernment engineers , covering all the north
west states , nnd which would be of Im
mense Importance to the whole Mississippi

Board of Missions shows that for the first
time since August 31 , 1S92 , It has been able
to close Its business without a debt. The
churches and Individuals of the board's con

Vital Stun * Spent li.r KnRtnnil In I'.t.-
The School of Military Ballooning At Al-
dorshot , tnys the Ixmdon Starldkra , has be
come a noteworthy and Important Institu
tion ; although maintained by a grant of only
2,500 a year. It stand second to none In Its
scientific achievements. Orlgln * lj > founded
by the Royal Engineers at Woolwich , about
nineteen years ago. It was subsequently re
moved to Chatham , and thi-ne t M\ldershot ,
under Major , now Colonel , Tjjfnpler , who
hns with him Captain Jones , R..E. , anil Cap
tain Ward. R. E. To these otncers are due
the present state of cfflclency"6f 'Ihe estab
lishment , and the perfection of the bal
loons , as welt as the appliances for working
them.
The first Important step In the adaptation
of the balloon for military purposes was
the compression In steel tube * of the hy
drogen for the Inflation ofthe balloons on
the field or on the road. Gas works cannot
be reckoned upon on n line of march ; nor
cnn coal or raw materials be transported
so handily or so cheaply as the tubes of com
pressed gas. The hydrogen required must
bo of the purest quality , made from nine
nnd sulphuric acid. Another Improvement
Is the production of hydrogen by electrolysis.
The trials are progressing satisfactorily , nnd
the cleanliness and certainty of the dynamo
will undoubtedly prevail over the chemical
process. The compression of the gas has
advanced most markedly In the direction of
safety nnd security. In like- manner the
steel containing tubes have been Improved
In material , and rendered safe under the
ve-y great stress of 101 atmospheres nt
which stress they are required to travel over
nny nnd every sort of ground , The experi
ences of many years have shown that tubes
must be carefully cleansed before recharg
ing , nnd very effective precautions are taken
to this end. To carry the balloon charge of
11,000 cubic feet of gas In tube * three wagons
are ncidcd , with the existing dimensions
and weights of the tubes ; but when the new
pattern tubes and wagons are delivered two
wagons will sufllce.
The adoption of "gold-beater skins" for
the substance of the balloon Is a step unequaled -
equaled In Importance. These skins have
the property of adhering firmly together , so
that they form n homogenous material re
markable for Its toughness , as well n.s be
ing absolutely Impervious to the gas. So
tough and strong Is the material that a
closed balloon of large size has ascended
higher than 7,000 feet without bursting. A
large balloon of this substance , having 2,500
square feet of surface nnd capable of con
taining 10.QOO cubic feet of gas. weighs only
170 pounds. The top valve of the balloon
Is now made very light and strong , of an
aluminum nlloy , nnd Is screwed Into Its
bearing by a very tine thread. It fits per
fectly gns tight. The silk nnd cloth bal
loons of former days were always In some
sort of trouble. The fabric , being varnished ,
was readily subject to cracks. It often
heated and became ore or less charred ; It
was tender , and liable to be rent or torn.
The gas was always leaking away , and the
material was troublesome to repair after
small holes and grazes.
Wo have next to follow the large finished
balloon In Us final stages of rigging and
equipment. The cord for the nettlng has to
bo both very strong and very light. That
used Is cf Italian hemp nnd. weighs one
pound to the hank. A yard of. it with a
splicing , stretched around two pjilleys , will
stand 500 pounds' strain without breaking.
In this cord Is woven a line brass thread
for the security of the balloon. In thunder
storms The ring Is of American hickory ,
and the car Is formed of excellent wicker-
work. The aeronaut or p.fllcgr , ascending
with him takes up what QJiseryjng Instru
ment ho likes or requires. , Swne of the
hand records taken In the free balloon ex
cursions are extremely precise- , , and full of
Borylceable details. The photqgijaphs , even

The coming trials of the capabilities of
balloons for taking part , In .military engi
neering operations In wttrfarftvJlJjbe- fraught
with interest and noveltywhetlieri ; they be
successful or not. The first trials , wlll prob
ably be directed toward the application of
cnptlve and carrying balloons In assisting
or preventing operations In trenches. The
ditch forms the protection to the working
sappers ; and the artillery projectiles cut
Into the rear of the trench and drive the
debris to the rear of the work. The object
of a balloon attack , therefore , might be to
plant , say , a 500-pound charge of high ex
plosive In rear of the trench , so that when
exploded it should blow the debris Into It ,
overwhelming the men or exposing them to
their enemy. Every balloon wagon has
half a mile of wire rope attached to It
which Is available for holding the balloon
captive. There Is also a telephone conJ'uc-
tor , and connection with the wagon Is neatly
made on a screw bar , so that In whatever
direction the pull of the balloon may be
the wire rope will never come Into contact
across the drum. The wagons can be read
ily moved about and the carrying balloon ,
with explosive charge , round In form and
swlveled on the end of a line pendant from
It , could bo manipulated by the experts In
accordance with signals received from the
enptfve or absolving balloon ; the explosive
charge could thus be got Into the place
desired.

How Orilorn ArtDclfveretl to Eric
Hiillronil I'M > crH.
By a new system Just put Into opera
tion by the Erie railroad , relates the New
York Herald , trainmen now receive orders
while on the road without stopping the
train , as has ilways been customary In the
past. As the train dashes along at light
ning speed there Is expectancy and wonder
among the train's crew as to whether or
not they can catch the suspended order bag
or whether they will miss one and bo obliged
to slow down and back up for it , as In the
old days.
This device Is n semaphore , which consists
of an upright post , set beside the track. At
a height equal to that of tbo cab window
are placed two anne , about two feet apart ,
which , when the semaphore Is set with or
ders , extend toward the track. A sack con
taining the order , enclosed In a waterproof
envelope , Is suspended between the arms. A
signal to the engineer Indicates that there
are orders for him In the arm of the sema
phore. At night lights Indicate the same
.bine.
As the engine paescs the semaphore the
rms are extended at right angles to the
upright prat , with the bag containing the
orders for the engineer between them , If ,
at night , It shows n red light on both ldrs
as the engine passes , ut no matter what
rate of speed , the engineer teaches out his
arm and catches the bag , rthlch Is Instantly
released by the arms. A'e 'Iho conductor
also receives his orders at'/tjp ' / ( , eame time
as the engineer , a eecond bag , containing
the orders for the comlucfoiy js suspended
above the bag for the cnfilnf/er / , and when
the latter seizes the bag lijten'iled for him
the arms of the eennpho'r ] , < ; , ' , automatlcally
move to a diagonal position , showing a
green light at night , andj ( he conductor
knows that there are or < ] ernu/or him , If ,
when the train has passed , . 'ti < ? arms.of the
semaphore drop to a vertical ppsltlon , or , If
at night time , white llghtakaro shown , the
engineer knows that both ; lle-jand the con
ductor have received their -orders , and the
speed of the train Is continued.
The sacks containing tlid qrdera are at
tached to the arms by cladtlufuands , which ,
while they servo to hold iltbem In place ,
offer no resistance to thorha'ud ' of the en
gineer or conductor. A buU'u eye In the
aide of the signal light Uirowe light upon
the eacks at night. >
Recent tests have shown.that order * can
be taken In this way with perfect tafety by
trainmen on trains moving at a speed of
fifty mllM an hour , It is Impossible to at
tach eacks to the arms of the semaphore
In any position except the rlnht one , and
hence the danger to the trainmen Is avoided.
Thus far only what are technically known
as "IU orders , " or. In other words , orders
which It 1 > not necessary for the trainmen
to sign , have been delivered to Eric train
men by this EjBtem , and other roads are
seriously considering the advisability of

ASHKVILLE , N. C. . Sept. 1C. William J.
Bryan began work at 2 o'clock this morn-
Ing. He was going through the city of
Somerset , Tenn , a republican stronghold ,
and started to make converts while many
good people were sleeping peacefully , and
fiOO of the citizens of Somerset disturbed
their rest in order to hear the nominee.
At Oliver Springs a reception committee
of twenty-live fiom Knoxvllle got on the
train , headed by Hon. J. W. Sliced.
There was a stop of two hours at Knox
vllle. All night long people had been as
sembling on the streets that had come In by
excursion trains and the farmers for miles
around had driven In to hear the nominee ,
nnd the oldest citizens could not remember
when such a crowd bad assembled to greet
any man. The train arrived In Knoxvlllo
Shortly before 8 o'clock and Mr. Bryan was
taken Immediately to the speaker's stand ,
erected Irf front of the court house. Ho was
Introduced by ex-Governor Ilobert L. Tay
lor.
lor.Mr. . Bryan explained what they term 1C
to 1 means and told why there was no dan
ger of a Hood of silver. He also explained
the ways the money Is put Into circulation
end while he was In the midst of this ex
planation some one yelled : "Mark Hanna IE
going to put Into circulation. "
"That Is Increasing the circulation , "
answered Mr. Bryan. "Just before election
In order to contract It for election. " ( Great
applause and cheering. )
Mr. Bryan In conclusion asked'the people
not to crowd him and repeated what he
said yesterday about being afraid of monopoly
ely and consequently not wanting to shake
hands with a few to the exclusion of the
many. When Mr. Bryan concluded his
speech ho was taken to the depot , whr.re
the crowd had again assembled , and the
police had a hard time to got him through.
A special train was taken to Ashovllle and
at 9:40 : the party was on Its way from Knox
vllle. The Knoxvtlle committee which re
ceived Mr. Bryan escorted him back to
Ashovlllo and at Hot Springs , N. C. , the
committee from Ashcvlllle of seventy-five
took the train In charge. The North Carolina
lina committee hod corae to Knoxvllle and
took the train with the nominee.
The last stop before Ashevllle was at Hot
Springs , the summer and winter resort ,
where several hundred people gazed at Mr
Bryan for two minutes and as the train
pulled out cheered him loudly. The train
whizzed by the little village of Marshall nnd
the 200 people on tbo depot platform shouted
as they caught a glimpse of Mr. Bryan , who
came to the back platform of the train. By
the track alongside the mountain bare
footed men grouped themselves In knots and
yelled excitedly when they saw the ban
ners displayed on the sides of the car , which
read : "Wo Carry the Next President , Wil
liam Jennings Bryan. "
At Ashevllle Mr. Bryan was given n most
hearty welcome. It waa the first time Blnce
1844 that a presidential nominee had visited
this section of the country and the farmers
for miles around gathered hero today by the
thousands to pay homage and cheer the can
didate. Mr. Bryan was driven to the Bat
tery Park hotel , where ho and members of
the democratic organizations were given an
elaborate dinner by E. P. McKlsslck , the
manager of the famous resort. The party
was then driven to a platform In u valley
between the great hills , which have hclprd
to make this place so beautiful. There Mr.
Bryan addressed a very largo audience. He
was Introduced by Hon. Locke Craig.

Modern Stir-ffccy ConlrllintliiK i < > < 3 < i il
tiookn.
The Intcst developments of modern sur-
plcftl science arc making It evident thnt
RonJ looks arc no longer to bo confined to
th as o born with n heritage In them , tint
mar be- purchased In the open market.
It will no doubt be Rood news to the nn-
happy possessor of an uncompromising snub
nose , says the 1'All Mall ( Sazctte. to be
made acquainted with the fact that , fern
n fairly respectable sum of money , his
nasal nppt'ndaRo can be converted Into n
thoroiiRh-RolnR aristocratic "Wellington. "
with no nnnsi-nno about It. and the spinster
lady , whose proboscis Is of Ihe "parrot"
type , and whoso matrimonial chances have
consequently suffered , will hall with n Rood
deal of satisfaction , and possibly renewed
hope , the statement that a generous fee to
the facial surRron will transform the of
fending orRan Into the dearest of little
"Grecians" In the world , while an extra
payment will secure for her two or three
coquettish dimples on the cheeks nnd chin.
The science of facial surgery Is , of course ,
not exactly a new one. Experiments with
out number have been made In the London
and continental hospitals for many years
past. It U not very long ago that the opera
tion of makliiR n very decently formed nose
for a young woman whose face had been
mutilated In an accident was successfully
performed at the Hoyal Krcc hospital. The
breastbone of a blackbird was cleverly In
serted Into the cartllaRo of the nose , and
the skin deftly drawn over It nnd sewn
with such neatness that In n short time the
scams made by the surRlral ncedlo com
pletely healed.
As mlRht bo expected , facial surpery came
to us from America. There It Is practiced
In every larso town , while n college for Us
special study exists near Philadelphia. Rrant-
liiK diplomas and ilegreca for proficiency
Ronulnc ones , too , It should be added.
That the science will make Its way In
KiiRland them Is not much room for doubt.
Already a private doctor living not a.linndred
miles from Horn ! street Is maklns quite a
reputation In the direction of facial surgery ,
and his handsome consulting rooms are
thronged each day with crowds ( if wealthy
"patients , " who arc anxious to personalty
test his powers ami who go away eminently
satisfied with themselves and convinced tint
If "beauty Is but skin deep" It Is a pos
session worth having and worth paying for.
So far , only those with almost unlimited
purses are able to avail themselves of the
doctor's ability ; the operations are of such
a delicate nature nnd require so much tech
nical knowledge , mechanical skill , self-pos-
scsslon nnd ncrvo on the part of the opera
tor that no patient can prude a generous
fee.
fee.The sensitive man with n wart on the end
of his nose , for Instance , goes through life
full of trembling self-consciousness. Ho
feels that every glance Is directed toward
that terrible disfigurement , and he becomes
nervously apologetic In his general bear-
Ing. Imagine what a heavenly vista of hap
piness and security must unfold Itself to
such a man , when , under the magical
knife , that accursed wart disappears forever.
and how his gratitude can but be adequately
rendered by n substantial expression of It.
Ills delight can only be equaled by that of
the fair youth who Itnc-n-s that his cars set
cut at right angles with bis face ( and who
is always uncomfortably conscious that they
criticism to the
arc a constant subject of
young lady whom he passionately admires ) .
when ho discovers that a visit to the facial
doctor will set matters right , and that. In
future , he- can meet the admired ami ad
miring one with an easy conscience.
Electricity is a. useful help to the facial
surgeon , and by Its Bid all kinds of minor
blemishes are removed , nnd tell-tale red
noses ore completely cured.
The only drawback to obtaining a really
complete transformation is the possibility
ct a question of Identllcatlon arising. One I
can Imagine the unenviable position of the
gentleman who , In the absence of his wlfo
and family at the seaside , takes the oppor
tunity of considerably improving his per
sonal appearance by cxchanKlnK n some
what bulbous nose of a deep shade for one
of clear-cut awl classical proportions , being
confronted with the unfeigned astonishment
of the partner of his bosom , and , perhaps ,
repudiated as "not being the man who led
her to the altar ! " Such a situation would
not be an cnsj' one to solve.
The advantages of the science , however ,
undoubtedly greatly outweigh Its disadvan
tages. _
There Is soon to bo a most aristocratic
wedding In the Ytldlz palace of the sultan.
Four of the linpeilal princesses are to bo
married , one being n daughter of the sul
tan. One very uncertain feature about the
wedding is the fact that the s ilttui lias nut
dellnituly settled upon the husbands of the
young women. The second son of Osmnn

are two selected up to this date.
