on the application of Messrs. McKune &
George, attorneys for the defendants, there
were yesterday dismissed torty-four suits

owners in Reclamation District No. 3, COM
prising Grand Island.
The first of these suits was commenced
in December, 1877, when Charles 7. Jones
was District Attorney. The attorneys for
the defendants then were Raymond & Nc
Kune.
These dismissals are the result of the
recent compromise effected between Will

The Hamilton Books Would Clear Up the
Mystery.

WOODLAND, February 15th.-The Palmer
embezzlement case has been continued I'M
til Tuesday next. The defense had former
book-keeper of the Fair ranch on the stand
most of to-day, and there was rigid ex-
animation of the book accounts. The re-
leyancy of the testimony seemed to hang on
the Hamilton books, and the Hamilton
books are missing. If the Hamilton books
read "so-and-so," then things looked da-k
for Palmer. If they read so. and so, then
Palmer was all right. The Question is, who
has the Hamilton books?
Both sides charge each other with their
disappearance. Mr.. Neal was placed on
the stand. He was Senator Fairs private
secretary for many years. His testimony
in regard to Palmer's authority as to selling
wood, receiphng for money, etc, was ex-
ac;iy contrary TO the testimony of Senator

HOW ZERO" WAS ADOPTED.

Fahrenheit Discovered, as He Thought
the Extreme of Cold and Named 1t.
Zero" is the part of every thermom-
eter that is most watched and dreaded
in this changeable climate of ours. The
word is from the Spanish, and means
empty, hence nothing. 1t was first used
on thermometer in 1909 by Prussian
merchant named Fahrenheit.
From boy he was close observer of
nature, and when only 10 years old, in
the remarkably cold winter of 1909, he
experimental by putting snow and salt
together and noticed that it produced a
degree of cold equal to the coldest day
Of the year.
And that day was the coolest day that
the oldest inhabitant could remember
Gabriel was the more struck with the
coincidence of his little scientific discov-
cry, and hastily concluded that he had
found the lowest degree of temperature
known in the world, either natural or
artificial.
He called the degree zero, and con-
structed thermometer, or rude weather
glass, with scale graduating up from
zero to boiling point, which he num-
bered 212, and the freezing point 80. be-
cause, as he thought, mercury contracted
the thirty-second of its volume on being
cooled down from the temperature of
freezing water to zero, and expanded
one hundred and eightieth on being
heated from the freezing to the boiling
point.
Time showed that the arrangement
instead of being truly scientific was as
arbitrary as the division of the Bible
into verses and chapters; and these two
points no more represented the real ex-
tremes of temperature than from ''Dan
to Beersheba" expressed the exact ex-
tremes of Palestine.
But Fahrenheit's thermometer had
been widely adopted, with its incon-
venient scale, and none thought of any
better until his name became an au-
thority, for Fahrenheit finally aban-
doned trade and gave himself up to sci
ence. Then habit made people cling to
the established scale, as habit made the
English cling to the old system of cum
brous fractional money.
The three countries which use Fahren--
heit are England, Holland and America
Russia and Germany use Banners ther-
mometer, in which the boiling point is
counted so degs. above the freezing
point. France uses the centigrade ther-
mometer, so called because it makes
the boiling point 100 degs. from freezing
point.
On many accounts the centigrade sys-
tenn is the best, and the triumph of con-
venience will be attained when zero is
made the freezing point, and when the
boiling point is put 100 or 1000 degs.
from it, and all the subdivisions are
fixed decimally.
If Fahrenheit had done this at first, or
even if he had made it one of his many
improvements after the public adopted
his error, the luck of opportunity, which
was really his, would have secured to
his invention the patronage of the world.

HsQut of fha EOam.n

We drew the boat up on the sandy
shore and then walked across the penin-
sula, which was here about quarter Of
q mile wide, to view the tremendous sea
rolling in. There was a northeaster
blowing, and the ocean as far out as one
could see was boiling and foaming. The
tide was on the food, and as we stood
there looking into the raging surf, with
the gale almost finging us down at
times, dark object appeared in the
midst Of the foam. 1t was whirled and
tossed and buffeted for three or four
minutes, and then great wave brought
1t in and flung it upon the wet sands at
our feet.
While the rest Of us started back at
the sight the brenzed face old fisherman
dashed forward and gathered it up and
retreated behind sand hill. We fol
lowed, and as we gathered about him he
knelt on the sands and removed his hat.
It was the body of a child-a little girl
body, but the bones-a skeleton wrapped
I'm dress and jacket. There was little
more than bones. 1t had evidently been
: buried in the sands for long time, and
r some change Of the current had cut it
out and brought it ashore.
Somebody's heart achesl" whispered
the old fisherman as he looked away
from U.S.
Aye; but whose? When did it hap
pen? And where? There was none to
: tell. This poor body had been searched
for, wept over, prayed for, given up to
g God at last A world Of sorrow had
. crept into some mothers heart. A ia
theirs lips had quivered as he thought Of
Eher fate.
"Her soul is up therep whispered the
old man as he pointed heavenward, "but
we will give the little body rest down
here"
And with bits Of board we scooped out
a resting place high above the sweep Of
the tide and laid the bones away. Above
them we placed board as a guide
should circumstance ever direct search
er's feet that way. And then, as we
stood with uncovered heads for mo-
.ment, the gale shrieking madly over that
waste Of sand, the old man said:
''Man may never find the spot, but
God will know where the poor child lies

A QUESTION WELL ANSWERED.
In What Respect Is Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy Better Than
Any Other.
We VIII Tell You.

1t is the only remedy that will liquefy
the tough, tenacious mucus incident to
colds, and render it easy to expectorate.
1t is the only remedy that will cause
the expulsion of mucus from the air
cells of the lungs.
1t is the only remedy that will coun-
teract the effect of severe cold and
greatly mitigate, if not effectually cure,
the cold within one days time. To do
this it must be used as soon as the first
symptoms of the cold appear.
1t will cure severe cold in less time
than any other treatment.
1t is the only remedy that will prevent
Group.
1t is the only remedy that has cured
thousands of cases of Group without a
single failure.
1t is the only remedy that will pre-
vent all dangerous consequences from
whooping cough.
1t is pleasant and safe to take. There
is not the least danger in giving it to
children in large and frequent doses
which are always required in cases of
Group and sometimes for whooping
cough.
1t is put up in large bottles for the
price. Many persons who have used it
for years and know from experience its
true value, say that 5O-cent bottle of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy will go
further towards curing severe colds, and
do more real good than dollar bottle of
any other cough medicine they have
ever tried.
