The smoker of thn South Omaha Com
rnerrlal rlub Saturday win attended by
about forty of the members. The session
aa held at tho new rlub rooms, where
th evening was fpnt In a serious dlscus
lon of Important topics of public Interest.
The paving of Mortor boulevnrd with creo
soted wood htork paving was Klvfn a tho
rough discussion. It waa agreed that this
kind of paving whs especially wnI, but
some argument was hoard agalnxt the
extra cost. More criticism waa lodged
against the extra charge for grading and
thn extra cement than the other Items.
The club took no formal action on tho
matter last evening.
On the question for a site for the manu.il
training department there was much diver
sity of opinion. Some favored the pur
chase of ' additional property and others
thought the building should be erec ted on
the present high school site. The extra
cost of a site could then be applied t
provide a better building. Aa to the style
of building It. was thought a bulldlnff could
be erected whlrh would supplement the
present one and even add artistic features
to the school campus.
The members of the Hoard of Education
were present and anxious to have the com
mercial club assist in the solution of the
problem. The cluh Was asked to appoint
a committee to work In conjunction with
the board! Bids for tho sites will be re
ceived at. Uie regular meeting of the board
Monday night. If they appear unreasonable
It Is proposed that the committee of the
commercial club use Its Influence to se
cure more reasonable offer.
Nearly , every guest present expressed his
opinion on one point or another of the
lengthy discussion. At thi close seviral
committees were appointed to take up the
matters under discussion.
I., II. Harrison lnau;rl.
t.. n. Harrison waa Mugged about 7 p.m.
last night in a street fight on Twen:y
fourth street In front of I.ewon & Stroeh's
saloon. Tho affair was ovtr so si on that
no one aeemed to ktiovv exactly what hid
happened. It was said that a quarrel
started among several men who appeared
more or less Intoxicated. In the midst of
It they came to blows and someone hit
Harrison In , the face and knocked him
down. He fell heavily on ths walk, striking
his head, and was rendered unconscious
at once. Dr. -A. 11 Koenlg attended him
and ordered him taken to the Scuth Omaha
hospital. Up to a late hour he had not
recovered conyclousnefis and It Is fenred
he will die. The participants In the quar
rel disappeared at once and the city de
tectives are now trying to find out who
was guilty of the assault. No one has
yet been found who will divulge the in
formation. '

LIVE STOCK MEN FIGHT
TAX ON OLEOMARGARINE
4rfrnment Set Forth In Pamphlet
Sent to President, the Senate
find the Ilonae. .
The National Live Stock exchange, repre
h. ciUiiR all the beef producers of the coun
try, is making a move against the, tax on
oleomargarine and has set forth Its argu
ments In a pamphlet form addressed to the
president, tho senate and the house. A re
capitulation of the arguments against the
tax of 10 cents a pound on colored oleo
margarine and Vt cent on uncolored oleo
shows:
Oleomargarine products are almost Inden
tion 1 in chemical consUtuency, In digesti
bility, In palatnblllty and wholesomeness
with butter products. The basis of both la
the butter fat. The discovery of a new
food product Rhould not be discouraged by
excenivo taxation or onerous restrictions.
All regulaUve laws should be dliecttd soldy
tow nnl the guaranty of the purity of the
food product and the prevention of fraud
In Its distribution and sale.
The perfection of the manufacture of
oleomargarine placed within the reach of
the great masses of the people a cheap
and wholesome food product and found a
new outlet for an important part of the
uteer supply of the live stock producing sec
tions oi tne united Ktatem and made the
product of the cattle raisers more valuable.
The Imposition of the tax struck down a
new Industry and made a monooolv of an
old. it lessened the food supply of the
masses simply that the butter makers
might get higher prices and establish a
substantial monopoly. It made conditions
such, that later, when monopoly had made
nign prices, bo mat tne manufacture of the
new food product became possible, fraud
and deception grew so prevalent that but
ter eaters are all walking by faith and
live In Ignorance of the substance they
spread upon their bread. , Unjust taxes
breed fraud and contempt of law.
The taxing of oleomargarine 10 cents per
pound for coloring It with the Identical
vcKetable product that all butter makers
use. Is a rank discrimination lUDTrOrted bv
no reason whatever. If there be any reason
for taxing the - coloring matter jn Olao.
margarine, the same reason e.:;lHt fpf tax
ing the coloring matter in butter, Treat
both products alike. The plaolng of tn
tax upon the coloring matter doea not teni
to decrease the amount of fraud, but adds
Incentive to fraud by Increasing the profit
to be made through successful fraud and
misrepresentation.

Ketnrna Required liy New Tax I.nvr
Mnut Be Mnde Thla Month.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 6 -Corporations
and other business organizations liable to
a tax of 1 per cent on their net Incomes
are required by law tq make their returns
to the Internal revenue officers for the
calendar year. 1909, on or before March
1 next, under penalty of a' fine of from
$100 to $10,000. Apparently from Inquiries
which have come to hand a good deal of
mlsapprehenion exlita in the public
mind on thi! point, the opinion being that
these returns may be made within any
reasonable time before the tax must be
paid.
Corporations must see to It that they
obtain the blank form for making the re
quired returns.
A failure to receive them and to furnish
the Information within the prescribed
time, will not give relief from the penal
ties Imposed for a failure to give It. The
forms will be furnished on application by
collectors of internal . revenue. In order
that, there may bo no dispute aa to the
time when the returns come In, collectors
have been Instructed that when they are
received atttr March the envelope bear
ing postmarks allowing the time of mail
ing shall be preserved, and forwarded
with the returns to Washington.

Some Things You Want to Know
Delicate Scientific Instruments.
'Mankind owes a great debt to the men
whose Ingenuity has produced Instruments
which permit the fcictitlat to go far "be
yond the ordinary range of his senses.
Through the modern telescope the scien
tist looks far into space and beholds mil
lions of suns outshining our own, objects
of such Immensity that our minds cannot
grasp them, and of such distance that the
unaided eye cannot see them. Through
the microscope he discovers billions of little
creaturea of whose existence he was un
aware. With his measuring Instruments
the scientist la able to measure distance
and quantity a million times more accu
rately than with the eye; heat a thou
sand times more accurately than with the
sense of feeling; and time a thousand times
more accurately than with the unaided
mind.
The bolometer, devised by the late Prof.
Langley to nVasuro the heat of the stars,
Is a marvelous Instrument. The heat of
the average star Is no greater to us thsjn
the heat of a candle placed three miles
away, yet this delicate Instrument will
measure the varying degrees of heat glvn
off by different stars. A spider's web,
a thread of spun glass, the gause of a
fly's wing and a mirror as small as a pin
head, are some of the things that enter
Into Its construction. It Is so sensitive to
heat that the - Image of a man's face
thrown upon it at a distance of a halt
mile will be registered sharply.
The dividing engine, used by scientists
to make spectroscope gratings for analys
ing rays of light. Is perhaps the next moat
delicate machine man has contrived. The
Rowland dividing engine will rule 120,000
parallel lines on a single Inch of surface.
Another will draw fourteen lines on the
edge of the finest tissue paper. It was
almost an Insuperable task to get the
wheels perfect enough to do the work, but
a little electroplating brush of the' most
Ingenious construction finally served the
purpose. When the machine Is In opera
tion It must be let alone, as even the prox
imity of a human being will interfere with
the trueneea of its lines. It goea on Inces
santly drawing Its diamond point across
the hardened feted, and when the grating
is finished It sells for aa much as 150 per
square Inch.
, Another very perfect . machine Is the
White worth measuring machine, which will
determine thickness down to the millionth
part of an inch. When one deilres such a
degree of accuracy it Is an easy matter to
set the machine a shade too tight. To over
come this the Inventor placed a pair of
"feelers" on It, enabling the operator to
tell when It Is exactly right. The ma
chine Is so accurate that If a man place
his finger nail against a bar of Iron thirty
six Inches long, It will register the ex
pansion caused by the communicated heat.
The 8haw, measuring machine will de
termine length down to the hundred-millionth
part pf an Inch., Aa the series of
wheels on a watch multiply the motion of
a . single turn -of the mainspring Into
thousands of revolutions by the balance
wheel, so there Is a series of little levers
In the Shaw machine which reduce the
movement of an Inch on the lever operated
by the hand to the hundredth-millionth
part of an inch on the one at the other
end of the series. One well may wonder
how such an Instrument can be turned to
human use, yet It was this machine which
discovered that the vibration of: the
diaphragm In a telephone receiver In regis
tering the faintest audible sound, moves
through the one-flfty-mllllonth part of an
Inch. This' machine Is so delicate that un
aided human perception cannot interpret
Its registrations, therefore a small micro
phonic telephone has been attached to It"
(or this purpose. These measuring ma
chines were used to determine the length
el th tuberculosis germ.
Ope of the greatest aids to human
knowledge Is the spectroscope. In Its
simplest form this instrument Is a tri
angular prism through wtilch the sun
shines, revealing the colors of the rainbow.
In Its complex form It takes the shape of
a telescope broken in two, with the two
parU placed at about the. angle of the two
marks of the letter V, except tha they
do not Join at the apex. Instead there are
a number of prisms placed between them,
which bend the ray of light going into one
barrel until the eye can behold It while
looking in the corresponding end of the
other barrel.
The powers of this Instrument seem al
most miraculous. It will discover the pres
ence of one-eighteen-milllonth of a grain
of sodium, while, the human taste can
perceive only the presence of one part of
salt In a few hundred parts of water. It
can take tho thousandth part of a grain of
dried human blood, which has been ex
posed to the air for fifty years, and Bhow
by the characteristic lines that It Is blood
Train Robbed by
Three Men Near
Cornell,'. Kansas
Paisengen Are Forced to Deposit
Their Purses, Watches and Eings
in Gunny Sack.
PITTSBURG, Kan., Feb. (.-Three un
identified men held up 'and robbed the paa
sergers on an eastbound Mtrinourl Pacific
passenger train five miles east of here
last night. They were unmasked. About
J 00 and a small amount of Jewelry was
taken from the passengers.
The robbers boarded trie train on the out
skirts of Pittsburg. They took seats In
the chair car and rode quietly along until
the train was near Cornell, Kan. There
they leaped from (heir seats, backed con
ductor Garrlty Into a corner and drawing
revolvers, warned him not to call for as
sistance.. One of the robbers then covered
the passengers with two large revolvers.
"You will now prepare to give up your
valuables," he said. "My partner here will
pass among you. Please be quiet," The
"partner" thereupon produced a gunny
rack and started on his collecting tour.
From each passenger he took everything
of value. Money, watches, diamonds and
rings all went Into the sack.,
One woman screamed and fainted. The
collector calmly lifted a ring from her
finger, picked her purse up off the floor,
to which It had fallen, and passed on to
the next victim. Passengers revived the
woman after the robbers left the coach.
Throughout the progress of the robbery
the train hurried ahead. Not one of the
crew, with the exception of the conductor,
knew a robbery was being perpetrated.
When the lights In the town of - Cornell
loomed into view, several of the pas
sengers at the rear of the coach who had
not been reached by the robbers, hoped
they would escape with their valuables,
and they began placing them back In their
pockets. But they were doomed to dis
appointment. Just because the train
stopped at the station, the robbers did not
hurry away. The robber with the gunny
sack stripped the last passenger In the
car of bis goods and than the three dropped
and human blood at that. It can take
a ray of light coming from a star so dis
tant that the riy has been years In
reaching here and divide It up In such a
way as to discover the kinds of matter In
the star from whence the beam comes. In
ihls way the spectroscope found helium In
the sun, ninety million miles distant, be
fore the chemist discovered It hard by
his own doorstpp.
The spectroscope has hundreds of uses,
some of them very prosaic. In the Bes
semer process tf making steel the object
la to burn a certain percentage of the
carbon out of the ore. It usually takes
sb ut twenty minutes to omrd. te the
procesa, but 'if It Is poured out twenty
secunds too scon or twenty seconds too
late the whole Is ruined. The spectroscope
tells the txoct Instant when the proper
amount of carbon has bten burned out.
A remurkable Instance of precision In
big things Is the care of the great Yerkes
telescope. A t star of the seventh magni
tude appears to be one-twenty-flve-hun-dredth
of an Inch In diameter. There Is
a spider web across the object glass which
Is one-six-thousandth of an Inch In diam
eter. The problem Is to move this twenty-two-ton
telescope with auch precision that
the star disc of one-twenty-flve-hundredth
of an Inch can "be threaded upon the spider
web of one-Blx-thousandth of an Inch at
all times, and to keen, it moving In oppo
sition to the motion of thn earth. This Is
accomplished by electrical attachments of
wonderful accuracy.
The strength, testing machines now In
ue represent a high type of exact mecha
nism, possessing as they do the strength of
a thousand lants and at the same time
the delicacy of the hair spring of a wstch
They register 'at one effort the tensile
strength of a bar of Iron requiring a mil
lion pounds to pull It apart, and at the
next effort tell to the fraction of an
ounce how much pressure It required to
crush an egg shell. They will test the
strength qf a hore hair or that of a gigan
tic! cable with eq'tal exactness. This ma
chine operates., cn the principle of the
hydraulic preas-200 grains of weight on
one platform lifting; 50 000 prtunris nn the
other. . " "
The microtome Is' another remarkable In
strument of the laboratory. The person
who has seen the breakfast bacon sheer
In a grocery store will understand 'some
thing of Its principles. When the scientist
wants to examine tho cross section of a
little nnrpsule too small to be picked up
with the hand he encloses it In a coating
of hard paraffin and that in another coat
ing of softer consistency. Then he puts
it Into his little slicing machine and Is
able to make slices so thin that It would
require 26,000 of them piled on top of one
another to make' a stack an Inch high.
Then he melts, the paraffin away and
places the almost ' Invisible slice on the
object glass of his microscope.
Time measuring instruments of precision
were the forerunners of all the delicate
machines of selehee.' '- Ever since man has
navigated the" seas beyond the sight of
land he has needed the most accurate
measures of time) in ord,r that he might
tell his longitude-with reasonable correct
ness. In 1714 the- English government of
fered 20,000 to the man who would 'devlae
a chronometer so accurate that longitude
could be told within thirty miles and de
scending reward dottfa to half as much for
the person whd-Jb'nld tell it within sixty
miles. In 1765 John Harrison, son of a
Yorkshire carpenter1; claimed and was
glveq the higherflaward. Now chronom
eters are hiade"wlilch are so accurate that
fhey will vary only a few seconds In weeks.
The yUl battleship carries three chro
nornitsri, and the mean time of the three
Is taken actual time.
There are machines in common use today
which make screws so small that they
appear to be but little particles of dust,
100,000 of them being required to fill an
ordinary thimble;1 Yet each of them must
have a perfect head and a perfect thread.
They are used as screws for the fourth
'jewel wheel of a watch. All the operations
with them are done more by the sense of I
touch than of sight and It Is marvelous
how acute the human sense of touch may
become. Some time ago a bicycle manufac
turer brought some balls intended for ball
bearings to watchmaker to show what per
fect specimens he had produced. The
watchmaker said they were not round and
wagered he could point out three depres
sions on each ball. A micrometer was ap
plied and It showed that on each ball at
the exact spots pointed out there were de
pressions of less than the thousandth part
of an Inch.

Great Britain.
MODERATES UEGE
CAUTION
They laalst that Badet heald Be

Will Oatllae Its Plam
This Week.
LONDON, Feb. . Of even greater Inter.
est than the possible changes in the cabl
net Is the course the government Is likely
to pursue upon the reassembling of Pari I a
ment. Premier Asqulth has kept his own
counsels and the views of the liberals vary
aocordlng to their shade of radicalism.
Extreme liberals strongly favor an Im
mediate attack upon the veto power of
the House of Lords, leaving the 'budget
and all other legislation until the party has
settled Its account with the peers. The
Irish members, too, are believed to sup
port this view.
The more moderate liberals, seelner the
possibility of the disorganization of the
finances of the country by this course of
action are urging the government first to
Introduce the budget, which the lords,
accepting the result of the election aa an
endorsement of the government's financial
policy, are already pledeged to pass.
Fa to re Status of Lords.
On the question of the future status of
the House of Lords, opinions differ almost
as widely. The laborltes and extremist
radicals are for the absolute abolition of
the upper chamber which hardly come
w-lthln the purview of practical politics.
Another section of the ministerialists de
mands the abolition of the lords' right of
veto on- financial legislation and the cur
tailment of their veto In other legislation.
The views of the moderates are expressed
by Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secretary,
who said:
"No reform of the House of Lords can bo
a real reform unless It provides for the
aDoiltlon of the hereditary principle and
the substitution of popular election."
The Spectator follows up this with the
suggestion that the upper house be modeled
after the American ente the house to
consist of 209 members chosen under a'
system of proportionate representation
from equal electorate areas.
In the meantime the unionists, with the
exception of a few peers, who, under no
circumstances would find a place In the
reformed chamber, are practically unani
mous for a change In the constitution of
the House of Lords.
Many schemes are being put forward,
the most popular probably being that em
bodied in the report of the Rosebery
committee, which provides for the elec
tion of the hereditary peers of 100 of
their own number, together with 130
peers qualified by service to the nation,
ten bishops, five Judges and forty life
peers.
Some imperialists among the . unionists
favor the suggestion made by Horton
Griffiths, who has had great experience
In the colonies, and some here. He pro
posed, when the moment Is opportune, to
establish a senate of the empire to Include
representatives of the colonies.
Position of Nationalists.
Premier Asqulth can count on a majority
for the curtailment of the House of Lords
veto, trr In time the nationalists and
doubtless the independent nationalists too,
will be with the government. On the
budget the attitude of the nationalists
Is still uncertain.
Mr. Redmond has not committed him-'
self beyond giving out'-his cable ' corres
pondence with M. J. Ryan, national presi
dent of the United Irish League of
America, but many members of the party
strongly oppose the clauses Imposing
whisky duties, and If they .do not vote
against them Would, In their own political
Interests have to abstain from voting.
William O'Brien, who heads the Inde
pendent Irish members, has made his In
tended attitude quite clear, In a letter In
which he says:
'There Is no doubt that the Irish party
contemplates the blackest treason perpe
trated against Ireland since the action of
the union. The nationalists propose to as
sist the government In passing the budget,
which will Impose on Ireland S10,000,000 in
taxation per annum."

Nothing in medicine is known which accomp
lishes such vast good in so short a time with
weak, broken-down, worn-out, diseased stom

worrisome stomach trouble and liver com
plaint, go to the aid of the blood corpuscles
and kill off the germs that would otherwise
bvade your system.

quit working, the liver, sympathetically, goes on strike; the
stomach gets out of order and the blood impure. The first aid
and the best is Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They move and
strengthen the bowels and make them regular curing constipa
tion with its long train of resultant disorders.
