Mr.. Poors Vinricatton.

WEEPING WATER, Ncb, Oct. 6.-To the
Editor of THE Bee l notice in The BEE of
October a lengthy article in regard to the
investigation of tho books and accounts of
Recorder Pool of this county, and as the re-
port Of the proceedings of the republican
convention held in this city on Saturday last
does not mention the unanimous nominal
tion of Mr. Pool to the same position by the
convention, l thought it would be well to cX-
plain. Mr.. Pool has been a resident of Cass
county from bOyhood and the people of Cass
county, regardless of political parties, do not
intend that Mir. Pool shall be Imposed on by
his pretended friends, as was evidenced by
the suspension of the ballot rule In the coG-
ventiOn ana the unanimous nomination of
w. II. Pool for register OF deeds BY accla
nation. This complete vindcation of NJ.
Pool, as was shown by the action of the
largest republican convention ever held in
Cass, was satisfactory to Mr.. Pool and his
friends. DIR. j. w. THOMAS.

The letter which we publish this
morning from Custer City, in the Black
Hills, will not only repay perusal by the
general reader. but should be thor
oughly pondered by the moneyed men
and manufacturers Of Omaha. 1t con-
tains statements of facts of the first i'm
portance to this city. The growing up
of a population of from thirty thousand
to fifty thousand, and the development
OF various manufacturing interests
which it forecasts are results that
should awaken the interest," and which
should command the instant attention
OF our people. 1t is not merely that
Omaha should seek In that direction
for an expansion of its market, but
| that it should especially seek to take
| part in the manufactures which our
correspondent predicts will grow up as
soon as the production of tin actually
commences. Concerning the vast stores
of tin that exist int the Harney Peak re-
gion no doubt can longer be enter
tanned, the moment it is known that
| English capital to the extent of over
| two millions of dollars has already been
invested there, simply in the prelimi-
nary work Of exploration and discovery.
| Our correspondent states facts which
fortunately leave no doubt in this mat
ter. The veins already uncov-
cred are Of a number, richness
and observation-disclosures unsurpassed
except in Cornwall, England, which
| have been worked since Caesars time.
and are now approaching their limit
it looks as though we are to have at our
door the largest known supply of a
metal which has practical value ex-
ceeding that OF gold and silver.

COLOR OF THE OCEAN.
Its Greenncss Caus d by Myriads OF
Minute Animal Forms.

The green color OF ocean water de-
pends upon the number Of meduSa and
other minute animal forms which in
habit it. The deep-green northern
seas literally swarm with these minia-
ture creatures; in some places as many
as 1913 of them have been found in II
single cubic inch OF water. In this pro-
portion cubic foot of water would con-
tain 22l ,1Si. cubic fathom 47,775, IA
and a cubic mile 47,776, o 00, 900. 900.
From soundings made in the vicinity of
where these creatures are found in such
immense numbers tits probable that
the waters will average mile in depth;
whether these FORMS occupy the whole
depth is uncertain. Provided, how
ever, that the depth to which they eX
tend is but 80 fathons, the above I'M
meDse numbers of one species may occur
within n space of one mile square. 1t
may give a better conception of the i'm
mense number of medusa in this extent
if we calculate the length OF time that
would be requisite for a certain number
of persons to count this number. AL
lowing that one person could count l.
600 900 in seven days, which is barely
possible, even at this rapid rate it would
have been necessary for 10000 person 5
to have commenced counting at the
time OF Adam in order TO complete tho
enumeration in time for the census OF
1880.

For nature has formed her so sweet

Since in vain

Fair Dian, pale empress of night,
Beaming bright,

She sat where the shadows lay deep,
Fast asleep;
Her wee bonnet lay at her feet.
How fair! Oh could not resist,
SO kissed
The lips of my loved Marguerite.
Then sudden she woke with start,
And her heart
In her breast like trip-hammer beat:
And J. like fool, stepped aside
Tried TO hide
But | could not deceive Marguerite.
But soon (when too late) grew bold,
And 1 told
My love-no, shall not repeat.

Nevermore,
But keep ii e'er hidden from men.

OMAHA IND STOrx CITY

The board of trade came home feeling
iubilant with the IDEA that they made a
point in going up to Sioux City and pay
ing their respects to the corn palace.
But you can't make u whistle out of a
pigs tail. Sioux City has never shown
any disposition to cultivate friendly re-
lations with Omaha and never will
until she has given up the idea that she
will outstrlp Omaha as Il iobbing center.
The very next day after the board
of trade had gushed over with
compliments for their town, the Sioux
City Journal which represents the sem
timent of the capitalists up the river,
gave thrust at Omaha in the following
malicious fashion:
Omaha is husting about to see if it can
raise 81 800 to entertain the New England
people who are coming to Sioux City. If it
can raise the money an effort will be made
TO induce the guests of this city, for whose
coming here A. s. Garretson. alone assumed
responsibility of about $1,000, to go to
Omaha. Poor old Omaha.

Mason for supreme Judge

The friends of Judge Mason are urging
him to become candidate for supreme
judge, and while he has not consented to
have his name used before tho coming state
convention, it is altogether probable that it
will be presented by the Lancaster county
delegation. It's urged that his integrity and
well known ability rs q jurist makes his
nomination desirable over any and all aspir-
ants for the highest judicial honor within
the gift of the state. 1t is said today that If
Judge Mason will consent to have his name
go before the convention, the delegation
from this county will forget instructions
almost TO a man. Although this IS the ninth
hour, the suggestion of Mason for the
supreme bench, it is said, meets with popu.
lar favor and that there will be no burning

HOW SWALLOWS AoMtwARD FLY
They Circle Over n Chimney and Then
Drop INTO the Opening.

They Circle Over a Chimney and Then
Drop INTO the Opening.
A peculiar sight is witnessed every
evening in the neighboring village Of
Shelton, when myriads of swallows
come home to their nests in the chin
ney Of Radcliife's factory. says an An
sonia correspondent of the New York
Sun. They generally come at the same
hour, and there are probably hun
dred in the flock. At "a given signal
the flock will rise high in the air and
begin to fly in a circle almost directly
over the chimney, or rather the Chin
ney is the pivotal point. After circling
around for several minutes one bird
will drop like plummet and disappear
in the chimney. His fall is followed by
another and another, until all have
found their resting-place. Sometimes
it will happen that owing to miscal-
culatIon bird will not strike the open
ing and falls outside. A sudden spread
ing OF the wings TO stop its downward
flight, and II rises again, taking its
place mt the tail of the procession until
its turn comes again. Occasionally the
same bird drops three and four times
before il succeeds, and during the high
winds of the past three days il has been
an old and smart bird that has reached
its nest the first time. Several times
recently dead swallows have been
picked up near the factory with broken
necks, they having struck the iron cap
OF the chimney and killed themselves.
This method OF entering the chimney
is so unusual with swallows that it has
attracted considerable attention, and
the nightly performance is witnessed
by many people.

A Great Opening For Fellows.

New York has been rather slow in follow
ing up the case of Sheriff Flack, charged
with misusing the processes Of the courts to
fraudulently obtain a divorce from his wife,
but the grand jury has at last found indict-
ments against Flack and his co-conspirators,
and the whole story will no doubt be brought
out in the trial. Colonel Fellows has not
been fortunate in the trial of cases Of this
kind where prominent politicians or other
influential persons have been defendants,
and he should make special effort to re-
deem his reputation in the Flack case.

RESERVES in New York banks at

THE spirit shown by the republican
county convention was in many respects
reprebensible and deplorable. In the
face of the fact that this county is de-
batable ground for both parties, the
chance of united support was made Sec
ondary to a feeling of vindictiveness on
the part of certain leaders. The nomi-
nation of Coburn was piece of spite

Mayor Broatch. Mr.. Bechel and his

Mrs. DIR. Robbins peculiar death is still
the subject of public concern. The autopsy
has tended to strengthen the belief that her
death was due to poison and not to disease.
Robbins friends, however, are slow to credit
the imputatiou cast upon him, and they
insist upon the charity of silence until the
final examination has been made.
Mrs. Robbins stomach has been cascd and
sealed and awaits the chemical examination.
Until that is made everything must necessar-
lily remain shrouded in uncertainty.
The doctor says that the finale will result
IN a happy vindication for him.
Prof. Nicholson, of the state university,
has subjected himself 10 criticism because of
the course he took when his services were
sought to make the chemical analysis of the
stomach. Although the public may not be
generous or just, it is urged that Nicholson,
who is supported by the state, ought to have
made the examination without word.

recent death OF Julia Gardner Tyler, at
Richmond, Va. to a New York Tribune
correspondent, "that the bones of two
ex-presdenJs, John Tyler and James
Monroe. should rest within fifteen feet
of one another in Hollywood cemetery.
Such, however, is the fact. Monroe's
tomb is quite ornate ana is on the brow
OF hill overlooking the James River.
Tyler's grave is on the southern sloOe
OF the hill, and there is neither stick
nor stone TO mark his last resting place.
Tyler, like his wife, died after brief
illness, but at an advanced age"
Captain Wise continued:
"Hollywood cemetery has within its
limits the remains of large number
of celebrities. The ashes OF the eccen-
trio and celebrated John Randolph were
removed few years ago from Roanoke
and placed in Hollywood. The inscrip-
tiOn on his tomb is:
Here lies John Randolph Of Roa-
noke.'
"Chief Justice John Marshall was
buried in the Shockhoe Hill cemetery
