TIIE OMAIIA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, MARCH 18, 1906. O SCHWAB AND MITCHELL Ex-Steel Trurt President Will Bun for Senate in Uevada. MINERS' UNION MAN FOR GOVERNOR letter Is ' Rot the Prosldcat ( Hattoaal Body Fievvlaada f It KUwirt Still nick. as: .Slonofs The nut United States senator from Nevada mar be Charles M. Schwab, and the next governor, John Mitchell," said Tom Noonan of Bull Frog, Nev., who U stopping at the Merchants hotel, while transacting business in Omaha. lie Is a mining man from Bull Frog and In elose touch with the political situation of the Silver state. "Yes.t that la Schwab, the ex-steel trust president," added Mr. Noonan. "Mr. Schwab on his recent trip to Nevada, you know, bought the Montgomery-Shoshone mine at Bull Frog for $6,000,000 and he gave It out to some of his friends then, he was going to run for the United States senate to succeed Senator Newlanda, next winter. And this John Mitchell Is, In fact, a mem ber of the miners union, but he Is not the president of the union of whom the Country knows so much. He Is a good man, though, and I believe has a fine chance for election as governor. Now, mind you, while I am thoroughly convinced Schwab will run for the senate and will tap the biggest barrel that ever was unhooped out. there, I don't think he will be elected. Nevada Is for Nevada ns. 'We don't hsve to import men to put In the United States senate. Senator New lands will not be a candidate again and the very reason Is that he couldn't posttl bly be elected, because he Is no longer a resident of Nevada, but of California. He has established a home at Oakland. His wife Is a California woman. Moaey Will Be Plentiful. "I was In Montana when Clark made his successful race for the senate. I saw a big barrel opened. Money flowed like water and that Is what Is expected out In Nevada when Schwab turns loose. But It won't get Mr. Schwab anything. Wt have plenty of men of our own with bar rels who ain't afraid to spend, either, and we will put one of these fellows In New lands' place. I don't Just know who it will be; It'll be a live one all right. "We are glad to have Charley Schwab out there with us and maybe In time can land something In the shape of politi cal oOlce, but he must get his feet tough ened up first," '"Has Mr. Schwab bought a home yetT" "Has he bought a home? Well now, I guess he must have; he gave a fellow $26,000 for a little thing he called home and says he's going to make It the only real place In the state." "What about Mitchell; who Is he?" "Oh, he's a miner down there at Bull Frog with about 'steen million dollars aud he's a thoroughbred. I'm a democrat and 'Mitch' is a republican, but he's good enough for me. I would be for Governor Sparks for re-election, only he couldn't get It" Ho Mere Democrats. "Couldn't get It, why, what's against the governor T" ! "Nothing, only he's a democrat, "Oh, you are not going to have any more democrats out there, eh?" "It doesn't look much like we're going to have democrats anywhere pretty soon, does ItT" "What has become of old Senator Jones?" ."Prospecting. Down at Gold Field digging In the ground for gold. He's an old man;; been rich and prominent In the United States for a long, long time, and now, with his flowing white beard, in his old age, he's down there In those mining re gions picking away like he picked back In the days of '49. But don't get it Into your head Jones Is a poor man. That story la a good one so far as the pathos Is concerned, but U ain't true. The senator may not have as much as he once had, but he's still a rich man and he ain't digging there because he has to. "Great coupntry? Nevada Is the greatest mining country on earth and the ground ain't been scratched yet." ONE MORE BIG BUILDING GUit Stractmre Will Be Erected at Coraer ef Eighth aaa Leaves worth Streets. - Another giant building Is to be added to the list of those which have been already planned for Omaha. It will cover a plot of ground 133 feet square at the south west corner of Eighth and Leavenworth. Attorney Francis A. Brogan . has Just bought tha site, paying 17,000 for lot 1 on the corner and $6,C00 for the lot adjoining on the west. He says he represents east ern men In the deal, who have announced their Intention of building a warehouse covering the whole property) 122x123 feet. Who the real owners are, bow many stories high the building Is to be and for what purpose It is to be used Mr. Brogan ays he Is not at liberty to divulge. The lots are In the wholesale Implement district. -The Implement men say It would be natural to suppose that a firm In their own Una of business would build on the corner. None of them can be found, how ever, who have heard any rumors that an astern Implement firm is to locate here. Lot 1 belonged to Catherine Olenn and was sold through Bemls Co. to C. O, Hutchlngs, who transferred It to Mr. Brogan. Catherine Glenn Is an actress. whose stage name is Catherine Devlin, and she has owned the lot twenty-six years. Lot 1 waa bought by J. J.

STRIPED MULE IN PROSPECT !. partH.it at Agrlealtare Coatea- slates Experiments with tha Zebra. The United States Department of Agri culture has obtained a stbra. There have been trying days for the department lately. what with the Keep commission Investiga ting Its bureaus and skeptics criticising crop estimates, so that the acquisition of an animal as unfamiliar as the sebra Is something of a consolation especially when coming after a long quest. The expectation of the Department of Agriculture is that the sebralxatlon of American draft animals will add greatly to the economic resources of the nation. Zebras are known to be swift of foot and strong of sinew. Their wild blood will Impart to that of the horse and Its congeners Just the desirable quali ties that will enable the draft animal to be a trotter at its owner's will. The sebra . has dune well In harness. There waa once one of the London Roths childs who astonished the natives by driving- a sobra la a light buggy. Once your sebra is broken be is a tractable beast save whea memories of his home rise In him to trouble his driver and they are said to rise quite frequently. The sebra's peculiarities and the difficulty attending upon first catching- your sebra have heretofore pre vented his employment, economically, but the Department of Agriculture Is sanguine that, proper conditions being secured, its experiment will be successful. If these hopes are Justified by the event shall ws witness gtriuigWy transiuogritled annuals la our streets? Will our eyes be gladdened, for Instance, by striped mules? The striped pig lives In song and story, but not In cor poreal reality, but the striped mule may come or even the checked or arbesque mule to add to the gayety of transportation. A striped mule will be a noble sight, far more eye-arresting than the calico horse. Everything, of course, depends upon accli mation. The sebra may not have the ner vous versatility required to catch our cli mate as It . flies and keep up with Its changes. Much has been expected of other strange animals we have imported, only to suffer - disappointment. Fifty years ago, wheu Jefferson Davis was secretary of war and people believed In the existence of the "Great American desert," our government got the notion Into its bead that camels would solve the problem of transportation of army supplies. A shipload of camels was Imported and were employed In Texas, but they did not take kindly to tha change and never became Influential factors of progress. They did not Increase and prob ably long ago mingled their bones with the Texas soil. Ones In a while a southwest-, era paper tells us that some one has seen a camel, believed to be the last of that bright band, but there la a lack of specification in these narratives that prevents confidence. One of the yarns that had its origin In the presence of the herd of government camels Is that some of the animals went northward and crossed with the elk. A strange animal, the camelko, was said to have been seen by soldiers returning ?rom the sutler's And this report received so much credence In the east that a New York paper sent out a commissioner to And the haunts of the creature, lie was paised from post to fost, only to learn that the camelko disappeared the night before he arrived.

They had eloped In an auto. The young man had driven his machine up to the comer, and by prearranged signals his fair affiancee had stepped aboard In a wink. But let us first explain to our readers the reason love did not run smoothly. Charles was rich. Ysobel was rich. Everybody was rich, but they all wanted to be richer, hence the misalliance. Thus It was that on a certain evening Ysobel's father abstracted a certain telegram ad dressed to Miss Ysobel Beefpack containing a proposal to fly. Hs sealed it up and in his businesslike way chuckled and said nothing. Mrs. Beefpack later encountered It, sealed It up, and In her businesslike way chuckled and said nothing. Ah, woe is me! What had fate In store for the trusting young couple? Tho appointed evening came, for there would clearly have been something the matter with the universe It It hadn't. Promptly at I o'clock a red devil dashed up to the Beefpack mansion, and the muffled figure. In an automobile cloak, got In; as we began to say at tha beginning of our story. Her head was wrapped In a veil and goggles hid her violet eyes. Her companion embraced her tenderly, and, setting his cap and goggles mora firmly, turned on full speed. Block after block whlssed by, but neither party of the rotuaaca moved, until a burly. cop arrested them for going exactly eigh teen miles an hour. In the station houqe the sergeant asked their names, and the proud tones of the lover filled tha dingy room. Tearing off his goggles, cap and coat horrors! What was the name he gave? "bllas Beefpack," and Ysobel's father was revealed. Ah, me! What a shriek came from the figure at his side disappointment, rage, terror, all mingled in one. Then, casting her veil and goggles to the ground, ttilas Beefpack stood In the presence of his wife, 'Mandy.

POWER OF THE HUMAN EYE Aalatals Ipsa Which It la Safest to Slake Experlmeata IMseretlua heeded. It is a popular belief, more or less loosely formulated, that there is something so ter rible and majestic in the human eye that uiau has only to Ox his gase on the most terrifying denixens of ths foiest to Inspire them with awe. Numerous Instances, and some well authenticated, are on record of unarmed men, who have met the lion or ths tiger in his native Jungles, Mxed their eyes on his aud compelled him to turn tail. There Is, then, some foundation fur the popular belief, but if a nun haviug un questioned faith in the awe-Inspiring power of the human eye proposes to put It to the test in his own person, considerable dis cretion Is to be recommended, not only la tha selection fit his beast, but also la the selection of his locality. For example, he should not maks his first experiment with a ramitagdous bull In a ten-acre lnolosure at any considerable distance from tho fence; nor would wo stronsly recommend a trip to the Rocky looualalna, with the object of experimenting with a full grown grixxly, for both bulls and bears are light ing animals, and have ths habit of meeting their foes face to face. The measure Is successful only with the cat family- Hons, tigers, etc., and by no means to be relied upon with them. Hope of success depends upon the fact that the members of ths cat family are not to any extent fighting animals; they do not hunt in packs and quarrel over their prey; they very rarely quarrel with each other over the females at mating season, and In striking their prey they never attack In front. It la a beautiful provision of nature that the lion, the tiger, the panther, the leopard and the whole family of Felldae, are prompted by Irresistible instinct to sella their prey from behind, springing on It with their whole weight, closing their powerful Jaws on the neck of their victim and dislocating It with one wrench, while their fierce claws penetrate the flesh and paralyse the muscular powers. The tiger pursues the same method, whether his prey Is a full grown buffalo or a timid fawn. The slender doe, with her fawn at .her heels, goes Into cover for her midday slests, and confronts the lurking tiger; she barks, stamps her foot and endeavors to bounce him; the tiger fixing his eyes on h-rs, crawls a little nearer; paralysed with terror the poor beast Is Incapable of flight, but un able to sustain ths basilisk glance any longer, she turns, as If to essay retreat. At that Instant the tiger springs, grasps her neck In his viselike Jaws, and ths victim dies without a pang. If the tiger comes unexpectedly on a powerful animal like a wild buffalo and it offers battle, the tiger declines it, but if hungry he will take advantage of what cover there is and maneuver to get at the tall end of tha buffalo and then make bis fatal spring. With civilised mea the tiger Is more wary, for bo stands la moi awe of their appli ances than of the brute strength of tho buffalo. Many a hunter going through the Jungles has passed within an easy spring of the tiger lying In wait for him, and before he has gone another 200 yards the samo tiger has again been In position, and yet has wanted the courage to spring; even a man-eating tiger, If familiar with firearms, might hestltate to spring on a man that had the courage to confront him. In the Jungle he would not attempt It; If brought face to face with a man he woul d crouch, aud If the man did not turn to flee the tiger would disappear as suddenly as if the earth hud swallowed him, but In a very few minutes he would have secured the de sired vantage ground and made his fatal spring. This is not because the tiger Is a coward, nor because the human eye is capable of dominating him. When It becomes a ques tion of fighting there is no sign of quailing In Hon or tiger, but when It is a mere ques tion of taking their prey the destructive in stinct Is a purely pleasurable one, the en joyment of which would be marred If they attacked in front, and provoked their proy to battle, and It Is a merciful provlxlon of nature that they show no such tendency.
