(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July 4.-(Speclal.)-Dld tho
committee on conference which two
weeks ago met In Lincoln to consider tho
proposition of whether the organlratlon
of the populist party In this stato really
represent tho membership of that party?
Of course, there were J. II. Gosvenor of
Aurora, chairman, and A. E. Walrath of
Osceola, secretary of tho party, present,
but outside of these two there did not
seem to be very many real populists
present. Judging by tho representation
from Lincoln, who havo persistently reg
istered as democrats.
Thero were present at that meeting,
besides the two mentioned above, T. II.
Tibbies, Omaha; Dr. Steel, Hastings;
Luclcn Stebblns, North Platte; E. C.
Cownn, Clay Center; J. F. Roberts, Joy;
J. H. Miller, Hastings, and the following
from Lincoln: A. E. Sheldon, Frank
Eager, Thomas .Sinclair, John Gtlltgan
und C. Q. De France.
Ilovr Popnllsts neRlster.
The registration lists of the city of
Lincoln show that A. E. Sheldon Is a
republican, Frank Eager registers as a
democrat, Thomas Sinclair, tho old
Boone county populist, registers In Lin
coln as e. democrat; John Gllllgan, the
right-hand bower of George W. Berge,
democratic candidate for the nomination
for governor, meets with tho committee
as a populist, but registers from tho
Seventh ward as a democrat. De France
la not registered.
The committee appointed to perfect
plans for the reunion banquet In Omaha,
In addition to the above, contains tho
name of Silas A. Holcomb, the once popu
list governor of Nebraska. Governor Hol
comb la not on the registration lists of
the city of Lincoln, but he was appointed
to his present position as one of the
members of the board of control as a
democrat, the statutes providing that the
board should' consist of one from the
minority party and two from the major
ity, so It Is evident that the ex-governor
has renounced the populist religion.
In an address to tho committee A. E.
Sheldon, who registers from Precinct C
of the Sixth ward of Lincoln as a repub
lican, said that he wanted a continuation
of tho populist party, as neither of the
old parties could be trusted. He was
mado chairman of the reunion commit
tee. Knurr Ik Democrat.
Frank Eager, another member of tho
conference, who registers from Precinct
B of the Fifth ward of Lincoln as a
democrat, thought that the populist or
ganization ough to bo kept alive at least
another year.
Thomas Sinclair, the Boone county pop
ulist, with hay In his hair and a brush
broom chin beard, said that the old -parties
neither of them were worth a blan
kety blank blank. Yet Mr. 'Sinclair reg
isters in Lincoln In Precinct A of the
Seventh ward as a democrat.
The question therefore naturally arises
Is the the populist party In the hands of
Its friends or dominated by Its enemies.
If Sheldon is a republican, and Eager,
Sinclair Gllllgan and Holcomb are demo
crats, wherefore is the whlchness of the
whyness?
Tekamah Entertains
Twelve Thousand
TEKAMAH, I Neb., July 4.-(Speclal
Telegram.) Tekamah entertained today
ono of the largest crowds that over
came to the city. In tho forenoon Oak
land defeated Tekamah In a ball game
by the score of 3 to 6. Eckert and Palm
qulst composed the Oakland battery and
Fitch and Duttrell tho Tekamah bat
tery. It Is estimated that about 12,000 people
were In the city, Tho racs began In the
aftcrnon at 1:30, with tho largest crowd
ever on the Tekamah race track".
About midway of tho race program
Matt Savldge In his aeroplano came sail
ing from the ball park, three-quarters of
a mile distant and landed like a bird
within the race enclosure. Just as the
raco program was finished he made his
return flight to the ball park. Street
sports and fireworks in the evening added
a completeness to Tekamah's big Fourth
of July celebration.
Savldge at 5:20 o'clock again made a
flight in his aeroplane from the grounds
at the ball park.
Independence Day
Is Quiet in Lincoln
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, July 4. (Speclal.)-Fourth of
July was quiet In tho capital city and
very little was doing in a public way.
The ball game In the morning attracted
a crowd which filled the park, while in
the afternoon another game at Capital
Beach again attracted a crowd. Lincoln
and Denver were the contesting clubs.
Last night J500 worth of fire works on
South Eleventh street were set aflro by

Tho United States census shows that
the soda habit has acquired a tremen
dous grip. Over 475,000,000 gallons of
soda water are consumed In this coun
try alone' In a single year, approximately
8,000,000,000 glasses, or about seventy
glasses per capita. This does not In
clude the popular sundae or college Ice.
Fifty years ago tho annual expenditure
for soda water In tho United States
amounted to only a few thousand dollars;
today the expenditure Involved In the
Industry Is about $500,000,000. Thero are
more than 100,000 soda fountains in tho
country.
This means an awful amount of gas,
whose chief charm lies In Its especial
antipathy to heat. It Ib the most active
enemy of that very fiery article alco
hol. And yet beer and soda water have
the same source. Each starts from the
brewery. The carbonic acid gas which
used to be allowed to escape from the
fermentation vats as a useless bypro
duct Is now caught and compressed to
a liquid, and forms the chief supply of
the soda fountain. So that soda water
does not contain soda any more than a
lead pencil contains lead.

An Hlilerly Institution.
Tho first soda water patent was taken
out In this country in 1810, by Simmons
& Rundell of Charleston, 8. C. But the
man who founded the soda water indus
try In New York city was John Mat
thews. He began In 1KB with a small
fountain hitched to a push cart. He
mixed his own syrups, charged tha wa
ter and did his own hawking In the
streets.
Boda fountains cost from 1100 to $26,000,
but It Is seldom that a salesman permits
a purchaser to pay less than $300 for
one. Fashions In fountains change as
they do In automobiles, In style, con
struction, material, equipment, labor
saving devices and efficiency-promoting
Kewgaws, all of which innuences the
operators to buy again.
A fountain becomes antiquated soveral
times moro quickly even than a battle
ship, and a newer and better one must
bo Installed to meet tho enterprise of
the Greek across the street. Improve
ments are always being made In nut
cutters, Ice breakers, straw covers, glass
washers, candy racks, furniture, water
purifiers, and, In fact, everything cUe
pertaining to the business.
Scope of the Industry.
"The Pharmaceutical Era's" historian
of the soda water Industry waxes elo
quent when ho considers the vast scope
of the business. We quote:
"Few realize the scope of the Indus
tries allied to that of soda manufacture.
Quarrying, metal working, silver plat
ing, brass working and plumbing; glass
maklne and china baking: fruit preserv
ing and syrup making; wood carving and
leaded glass work; edible nut gathering
In every clime; and the culling of Tare
extracts and flavors from temperate and
torrid zones all these and more are af
filiated with the soda water Industry
and have to take their toll before the

production of even ono gloss of the
great American beverage.

STILL FEAR WITCHES' POWER
Slnnr Cns-s of Jntelllnrmt reoplr
Slandlntr I" Ilrrnd of the
Uvll Spirits.
A woman tried hr wltchcraftl Wo
hold up our hands and wonder at the
bigotry of those narrow-minded Purl
tans In Halem, Mass. Such a situation
seems so remote from anything that
would be possible today! Ho we are In
the habit of saying, but It Is not an Im
possibility,
Only a short time ago a woman was
tried for witchcraft In a court of law
In southern Pennsylvania. That was not
the name used In the charge that was
brought against her, but that was the
accusation that was lodged In tha minds
of everyone who was Interested In the
case, which was tried In a region so
thoroughly saturated with traditional su
perstitions that not oven tho presen.
prosperity and general education can de
stroy them. Technically the woman was
convicted of obtaining money under false
pretenses, but actually she Was convicted
of being a witch a "hex" doctor who
"now-wowed."
In the home of a prominent lawyer In
Camden county there Is a hole In the
post of a mahogany bedstead filled with
salt which witnesses to hi J bellof In
witchcraft. At one time he prosecuted
a caso against an old. woman who, when
convicted and fined, loft the court mut
tering incantations and vowing ven
geance. That night the lawyer was sud
denly attacked with violent pains In the
head. Tho curse had come upon him
and he feared the wretched old woman,
whom ho believed to be responsible for
It. Only witchcraft can drlvo out witch
craft. No doctor of medicine would do
In such a case. A day laborer, who
was born with a caul over his face, was
brought In through the back door and
takon to the bedroom of the suffering
lawyer. The electric lights had been ex
tinguished and a candle flickered at each
side of the bed. Looking at the patient
through the veil, which he avers Is the
Identical one that he was born with, the
'hex" doctor muttered his peculiar
ritual, tied a rattlesnake around the suf
ferer's neck and bored the hole in the
northeast leg of the bed, filling It with
salt, over which he had chanted Incanta
tions. This done he announced that tho
evil powers had notified the witch, who
lived In a hut at some distance, that
she could.no longer hold dominion over
the body or her enemy, the lawyer. The
patient believed that his pains ceased
from that hour.

tor who had been called In to ward oft
the evil spirits.
A stranger In Carlisle pretended that
he had sufforcd from pain in tho stomach
which ho believed to bo duo to tho evil
eye of an old woman of tho town who
was gonarally believed to have the ability
to exercise this baloful power. A "hex"
doctor visited him, and when ho thought
ho had discovered a faith In tholr mys
teries the stranger withdrew and later
summoned him to his house, where he
was Informed that ho had discovered that
on old witch had made a wax Image of
the stranger and stuck pins In certain
portions of It. Hence tho pains.
Could he be cured? asked tho patient.
The "hex doctor assured him that his
powers were superior to those of the
witch, and he undertook to prove It.
Getting a wax Image, ho placed It In
front of tho fireplace, shoved a brass
bullet Into an old muzzle-loading pistol
and extinguished all the llghtu but that
made by the flro. The doctor knelt upon
the floor and the patient was told to hold
his hands upon tho seat of his pains.
Tho bullet was then fired Into tho abdo
men of the wax figure, while Incantations
wera said, and the man wus nssured that
ho was cured. With all truthfulness he
could say that ho had no more pain, and
for himself had proved tho existence of
witchcraft In Pennsylvania In tho twen
tieth century. Now York Herald.
MAN SHOULD SLEEP LONG
And lie Will lie Sure to Hte LonfeTi
According; to Herman
Authority.
That sleep Is the "key to tlio timepiece
of life," the greatest enemy of death,"
the most vital factor' for long- lite, and
that the sending of children to school at
7 and 8 o'clock In the morning, aa Is done
In Germany, Is "barbarous" and a
"massacro of life" are some of the state
ments mado by Prof. Carl Ludwlg
Schlelch In an article on "How to Prolong
Our Life."
Prof, Schlelch Is ono of the most emi
nent surgeons and medical authorities In
Germany, and Is also widely known In
other countries. Tho local anaesthetic
which he discovered Is used by surgeons
and physicians for operations in every
civilized land.
Dwelling upon the necessity and rela
tion of optimism to longevity Prof.
Schlelch quickly passes over the neces
sity of hygiene, moderation and temper
ance, and declares that the secret of long
life lies In two things elasticity of tho
veins and arteries and sleep.
"What can we do," he asks, "to protect
our elastic, ruberllke cell tube system
and prevent the loss of energy through
what Is known as 'calcification?'
"I know nothing more Important than
gymnastics of the blood vessels of the
skin systematic 'turn exercises' of the
millions of little ringletlike muscles of
the blood vessels In the skin and second
-the art to sleep, developed to a tyran
nical point.
"Everybody feels Instinctively that
sleep Is tho greatest physician for tho
suffering of the day. Sleep Is not only
the 'beautiful brother of death,' as the
ancient Greeks characterized It, but Is In
fact the enemy of death.
"Sleep quietly one' half of your life
away I You will have twice as much of
tho other half! This Is the maxim that
ought to become a' part of our flesh and
blood. The oft repeated 'eight hours for
work, eight hours for pleasure and eight
