Curious Foundations.

The Railway Review tells of a novel
method of laying foundations i'm
swampy soil recently employed by an
American engineer. The building 60
be supported was low wooden one
which it was proposed to use for the
storage of machinery. Casks were set
in holes in the ground along the line
Of posts, and were filed to the depth
OF about one foot with iron turnings.
The posts were placed i'm the casks,
which were then filled with iron turn
ings cOmpactly rammed in place. A
solution OF salt and water was slowly
poured over the turnings, under the
action of which they solidifled into a
hard mass. The heat OF the oxidiza-
ton OF the iron was so great that the
posts were charred. This also served
10 act as preservative, ard to that
extent the iron turnings are probably
superior to concrete under similar
conditions.

A Bee CharIner.

Look there!" shouted a dozen pcO-
pie at once who were riding to North
Denver on Sixteenth Street grip-car,
one afternoon. Everybody looked,
and the sight was one hardly likely TO
be witnessed on "a public thorough
fare i'm a city of the size Of Denver
more than once in q lifetime.
1t was on the vaduct. A swarm Of
fees Hundreds OF thcm-were cir
cling and buzzing around man, and
alighting upon his hat, shoulders,
arms and back. The man was per-
fectly cool and collected and kept on
smoking his cigar as calmly as though
seated on the balcony Of the St
James. The bees crawled over his
face, his hands and his shirt front,
and the number in the air grew per-
ceptibly less, and soon all were set
tied upon the man, and then he
walked calmly away with his captives
20 the Burlington and Missouri freight
depot, where he was seen TO get a
box, into which he carefully placed
some small thing taken from his vest
rocket. Immediately the bees began
To leave him and drop into the box,

and In few moments the swarm was
safely housed.
The way he handled the bees de-
monstrated that he knew his bust
ness. He was riding over in car,
and saw the bees circling over the
yiaduct, probably attracted by the
rattling of the cable over the pulleys.
He alighted from the car and hogan
to shout in peculiar way, and the
bees were Immediately attracted to
him, the queen alighting upon one OF
his shoulders. He caught her, and
carefully placed her in his vest peck

to him. He continued smoking his
cigar, stood still, and, when all the
bees were settled, he walked away, ne
related. -Great Divide.

Convincing Evidence.

"Absalom Carruthers, said his wife,
with the accent on each syllable for
good measure; "you were intoxicated
last night"
We'll, failed to notice it,"
Everybody else noticed it; they
couldn't help it. You were irretrieva-

Not as greatly off as you were.
You tried to open the gate with your
latch-key, and then you fell over it
into the grass"
Nonsense.
"You came up the front steps on
your hands and knees, opened the door
and inquired if Carruthers lived here.
Do you know that?"
"Bosh."
And you stumbled on dark flower
In the carpet, and nearly went down.
Not word of truth in it,"
"Tried to hang your hat on fly on
the wall, and then asked where that
nail went to-"
you are totally hallucinated.
"Why, you talked out OF your ears,
and when the baby cried on the bed
you went to rocking its crib as hard
as you could, singing, Bye O wy o,
Baby Recollect that?"
"Recollect nothing"
81 expect not. and you got on your
knees and patted and rubbed the back
of the hound worked in worsted on
the rug in front Of the CRATE, and
said, doggy, doggy"

JELLY.FISH CHRISTIANITY.

Jelly-hsh Christianity is what the
Bishop Of Liverpool says is the great
danger Of the times. The jelly fish,
though pretty and graceful in the
sea, becomes a mere useless lump
when cast on shore. This sort of
thing obtains in medicine. There
are plenty Of cough remedies that
look pretty and taste well. They do
well enough when there is nothing
the matter, but when the patient is
in the grasp Of pneumonia or the
child is in the agonies of the Group,
and there is no time to send for the
doctor, then they are worthless. At
such times REDS GERMAN COUGH
AND KIDNEY CURE comes like Wis
liant from above. 1t relieves the suf-
ferer at once, and when the paroXysms
come it can be given again and again
until cure is effected. This great
remedy contains no poison, but it is
unrivaled for its work in severe cases
Of lung trouble in whatever form.

Thought Wakefulness Was Fatal.

1t was o'clock in the morning,
and Middlenight and his wife were
sound asleep. There came a pro-
longed, blood-curdling yell from the
servants room at the rear of the flat
that scared them wide awake. The
Swede girl who had lived with them
for six months-ever since she had
been in this cOuntry-they considered
treasure. She was strong, had
never been sick day in her life, and
had never SO much as walked up from
the time she went to bed until day
light. Something had evidently gone
wrong with her now, and to her res
cue flew the Middlenights. They
found her sitting up in bed rocking
back and forth, apparently in great
agony. She said never a word to the
anxious inquiries as to what was the
matter and where she felt sick, but
groaned and took on until Mr.. Mid
dlenight thought he had hetter go for
doctor. But little harshness on
Mrs. Middlenight's part combined
with considerable cold water i'm Til
lies countenance brought her to a
speaking condition.

point. "What is it for?" we con-

grave. So with this little introduce
tory sermon we turn and ask: What
is AUGUST FLOWER FOR 7" AS easily
answered as asked: 1t is for Dys-
pepsia. 1t is a special remedy for
the Stomach and Liver. Nothing
more than this; but this brimful.
We believe August Flower cures
Dyspepsia. We know it will. We
have reasons for knowing it. Twenty
years ago it started i'll a small country
town. To-day it has an honored
place in every city and country store,
possesses one Of the largest manu-
featuring plants in the country and
sells everywhere. Why is this I? The
reason is as simple as a child's
thought. 1t is honest, does one
thing. and does it right along-it

THE SITUATION IN NEBRASKA.


 A Conflict of Authority-Three Men Claiming the Office of Governor. LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 9.-Nebraska has two governors and third man claiming the office The legislature and supreme court are moving, but slowly, toward a solution of the difficulty and meantime l conflicts of authority are taking place. Gov ernor Thayer fortified himself in his office and slept there last night under guard of a company of militia and a num- Der of special officers. This morning the board of public lands and buildings met and assigned Governor Boyd quarters | in another part of the building. He inn l mediately assumed possession, appointed J. G. Higgins of Grand Island private sec- retary and began acting as governor. The first conflict of authority took place this afternoon when telegrams were received by member of the legislature and trans
 mitted to Governor Boyd stating that an Indian outbreak would take place in the
 northern part of the state tomorrow and
 asking that militia now at the front be
 placed to repel the attack. Governor
 Boyd ordered Adutant General Cole
 to make preparations for the outbreak,
 but General Cole refused to obey,
 stating that he would take orders only
 from Governor Thayer The office of ad-
 jutant general was declared vacant, and
 soon after Governor Boyd appointed Gen.
 eral Victor Vifquain to the position. The
 state forces on the frontier now have two
 commanders and it is impossible to
 tell which they will obey. The
 janitors of the state house and mail carriers have gone over to Governor
 Boyd, and it is said that gas and steam will be turned off in Governor Thay CTS office. To-day Governor Thayer petitioned the supreme court for writ o quo warranto to determine the position o Governor Boyd. The court answered in .. formally that no decision would be mad' until Tuesday. The wrangling between the factions in the legislature continues but the independents or alliance member are losing ground.

MT. Stewards Amendment to the Financial Bin Advocated by MT. Blackburn-Work of the House. WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 9.-Mr. Platt gave notice that he would ask the senate on Monday, after the routine morning business, to consider the house copyright bill.
 MT. Plumb gave notice of an amendment limiting to s1, 1000 the compulsory require ments of deposits of United States bonds for every national bank Ghis is not to ap- ply to the deposit of bonds to secure pub lie moneys in the national banks)
 Conference reports on bills for public buildings at Lewiston, Me, and Hayerhill, Mass. were presented and agreed to.
 MT. Dolph moved to take up another bill, but Mir Edmunds insisted on the reg ular order, and remarked (caustically) that 1t was due to those who wanted to discuss the financial bill that they should have the opportunity to do so.
 The financial bill was therefore taken up again, and MT. Blackburn addressed the senate in advocacy of Mir. Stewards amendment for the free coinage of Silver.
 Mr. Morgan followed and yielded the floor without concluding his speech and the bill was laid aside.
 The senate bill creating the office of fourth assistant postmaster general was re- ported and placed on the calendar.
 The senate then went into executive ses- sion and at o'clock adjourned till to-mor- TOW.
 The house went into committee of the whole on the private calendar. The first bill on the calendar was one referring to the court of claims, the claim of the citi- zens' bank of Louisiana, growing out of the seizure and covering into the United States treasury of certain monies of the bank by General B. F. Butler. The amount involved is $215,000. The meas ure gave rise to quite long discussion, it being advocated by Messrs. Blanchard and Boather of Louisiana and opposed by Mr Thomas of Wisconsin and MT. Grosvenor of Ohio.
 After further debate Mir Thomas moved to strike out the enacting clause. Lost 59 to 6S.
 The house, o'clock having arrived, took recess until o'clock.
 At its evening session the house passed sixty private pension bills, including one granting pension of $50 month to the widow of General Duryea,
