(From a Staff Correspondent. )
LINCOLN. July 15.- Special.)-State Aud
itor Hllss R. Barton of Grand Island today
announced that he would make the race
for congress In the Fifth dlMrict next
year. The statement was given out Imme
diately upon Mr. Barton's return from a
trip to Denver and other western points.
The belief In republican circles hers Is
that Auditor Barton will not have to op
pose present Congressman Noriis, but that
the McCook man will soon announce his
candidacy fur the United Btates senate
Representative William Prince,' also of
Grand Inland, and former Secretary of
Btate George Junkln of Smlthfleld are also
aid to have the congresiMonal bee In their
bonnets and It la probable that their an
nouncements will be forthcoming as soon
as Congressman N orris states his attitude
en the senatorial situation.
John J. MacFarland of Omaha filed today
as a republican candidate for the nomina
tion for the supreme bench, while Charles
Anderson of, Oxford filed as a democratic
candidate for regent of the state university.
In filings for Judges of the district court
other filings received at Secretary of State
Walt's office today were: J. J. Thomas,
fustonlst, of Seward, for the Fifth Judicial
district; B. H. Tayne, democrat, for the
Eleventh district.
Labor Protests Water Cat.
In resolutions adopted at a meeting of the
Central Labor union last night stand was
taken against the alleged forthcoming re
duction of water rates to large consumers,
such as the Traction company, the Electrto
Light and Gas company and the Beatrice
Creamery company. The action taken
called attention of the city council to the
effect that city government Is meant to be
run so that the greatest good to the greatest
number results and that such a thing as
granting a decrease in water rates to the
corporations I would obviously be running
matters contrary to that policy.
I Harmon Jnasps I at Rate.
Clarence E. Harman of Holdrege, well
known democratic leader, and who last
year stirred up democratlo congressional
matters In the Fifth district by waging an
eye-opening campaign against Roderick Z.
Sutherland, again leaped Into the arena by
tiling for the railway commission today on
the democratlo ticket. Harman has long
lent his hand and his pocketbook to the
spread , of Jeffersonlan principles In his
part of the state and by such men aa ex
OoTernor Shallenberger and United States
fWiatnr Hitchcock is credited with being
of the hardest party workers In Ne
braska. Harman'a Is ths fourth democratlo filing
tor ths vacancy on the commission, those
who are to oppose him for ths place being
the present commissioner, John Furss;
B. M, Blmms of Alma and O. B. Upton of
JUnleii.

gather, are that a program of more than
ordinary Interest Is laid out for C B.

the state Industrial school at Kearney,
when that affair Is held.
The charge laid at ths St. Paul man's

Is that he did not content himself last fall
with boosting for Aldrich .as against
Dahlman, but that he Insisted' on bucking

that, say. those of the populists who still
have a warm spot in their hearts for things
democratic, but the Industrial school head
la alleged to have quietly scattered trouble

Light of Vital Spark
in Human Beings
is Made Visible
Dr. P. S. O'Donnell, X-Eay Expert,
Writes of Experiments with
New Chemical Screen.
CHICAOO, July lo.-The light of the
vital spark In a human being has been
witnessed, acordlng to a statement made
today by Dr. Patrick S. O'Donnell. an
X-ray expert, who has been following up
experiments made by Dr. W. J. Kllner of
London, England, who has wrlten a scien
tific monograph on the subject.
Some time ago, using a chemicalized film
sealed between two thin strips of glass,
Dr. O'Donnell gave a demonstration to
twenty physicians of the aura or "electri
cal radiation" of living bodies, four young
women being used as subjects. The aura
developed as a strong ray of light sur
rounding the entire form of the subject
"Last night,' 'said Dr. O'Donnell. "In
the presence of several physicians at
Mercy hospital, I tried the experiment on
a dying man. He was rapidly sinking.
Suddenly the attending physician an
nounced that the man was dead. The
aura began to spread from the body and
presently disappear. Further observa
tion of the corpse revealed no sign of the
aura.
"We do not claim that ths light is the
soul or spirit. In fact, no one seems to
know what It ts. In my opinion, how
ever, it is some sort of radio activity
made visible by the use of the chemical
screen. My experiments, however, seem
to prove that It Is the animating power or
current of life of human beings."

seen since by the husband, the uncle, J. R.
Griffith, or brother, Elmer Day. The lat

to look after the three little children de
serted by Mrs. Sterrett. She Is 28 and the
man Is 26.
Oddly enough, the husband accompanied
his wife to the Griffith home In Iowa
county and was there when Bralnerd
unseen by Mr. Sterrett came up and In
duced the wife and mother to leave with
him.
