Thla rear It la aald cot more than 2,500 will cut 'heir rote. The Independence of clerk la due to the recent order of President Roosevelt regarding the jollcltatlon of cam yalgn funds from government employe. Mr. Roosevelt gave It out that the security of an employe in hi position did not reet -jn the contribution that employe would make to the campaign fund, and that no employe should oe remored from office be cause be refused to contribute. An official In on of the departments, In discussing .he president' order, said: "There 1 no more reason why a gov eminent clerk In Washington should be Junned by a state political organisation In the manner In question than any buslneea man on Pennsylvania areaue. He owe it to the classified service apd not to a state irgantiatlon that he la protected in hi position la Washington.

NEBRASKA'S BREATHING WELLS Cartons Actions Which Ara Rannnaad ta Ba Daa ta Atasospherlo Chances. WASHINGTON. Nov. a. (Special.) In a recall psper published by tb United Statea geological survey on "Wells and Wind mill It) Nebraska." mention is mads ot the Interesting phenomena of tbe breathing or blowing Telia which are found distributed throughout a large portion of tb state ot Nebraska. These well are of the driven type moftly in uia upon the plains, but are dletlegulebed from those of ordinary character by a remarkable and unexplained egreaa and iagreaa of current of air which produce distinctly audible sounds end give tbe names variously applied to them of breathing, algbtng, blowing er roaring wells, accordlsg . to their character la Jltwreot placee. The air ourrent ar readily Ueted with the flames of candles, or by dropping chaff or feat here into tbe well tube. There ere periods when these wells blow out for severs! days, and equal period whsa their air currents are re versed. It baa been observed that th blowing occurs with changes of the barom eter. Some wells are found to be most audible when the wind la from the north west, with a rise In wster level, but with a cheat of wind, sir la drawn la and the weter la obeerved ' to sink. During th progress of a lew barometer area over one uf 'these regions; wind I violently ex pelled from I be well, with a noise dis tinctly endible for several rode. Prof a. Lovslsnd and Swesey of tbe University ot Nebraska' have Wad observations on a well et th!a naiore tn Perklne county, and found that Ha breathing periods were ex- Quality and Economy r GORHAM Silver Polish .TThe best silver-polish in tht IworU, I extremely economical in use actly coincident with the bsrometrls changes. The rltliens of the region hare attempted trsny explanations of the wells. Some have reasoned that the blowing Is probably due to the liberation of gas produced from petroleum, and that as petroleum Is a nat ural distillation from great coal fields, there must be an abundant supply of the latter mineral beneath the surface. Fort unes bav been staked upon this deduction and much time consumed In fruitless search for cosl. Other have noticed tb change of current which aome wells show every twelve bour., morning and evening, and bare thought that this regular oscilla tion wa due to a tidal Action of the aheet water, erroneously considering the latter as a great aubterranean lake. The phe nomena are most frequently attributed by scientific observers to atmospheric pres sure, which, though probably exerting great Influence, la not necessarily the whole cause. The material through which the. wells ar driven may throw some light on their peculiarities. In southesstern Nebraska a layer of dense limestone about four Inches thick lies beneath fifty to 100 feet of sub soil. Below the limestone Is found water bearing gravel. When the limestone cover ing the water-bearing bedsit penetrated water under alight pressure rises about one foot. The water-bearing layer I very por oua and must always contain more or less air. As the air above and the air Inclosed In the gravela below are alike subject to the fluctuations of the barometer. It follow that If the surface air is rendered less dense the air below will pass out through the well openings until equilibrium between the rarer air and denser air Is established, and the opposite effect will follow during a period of high pressure. Still, thl ex planation, plausible as It 1. hardly ac counts for the force with which the air Is expelled from some of th wells and a more comprehensive study of the problem Is needed to satisfactorily explsln all the phenomena.
