wooden additions of the tannery of

named Thomas Sullivan was killed by
a falling wall and George Hickman
of the fire patrol service was sufiocated
in the Conrad tannery. Julius Hueb-
ner, had his back broken and other
firemen were slightly hurt. Loss by

SI00,000 is on the Decker tannery
and 1925, 900 on that of Conrad Bros.
The property was well insured.

This is the Baxoo---Priee Ten Cents
Direction for Using, Etc.

This wonderful musicale instrument, for
the people now on earth, initiates bird or
animal. With it you can play OF sing any
tune. 1t requires no instruction to use it.
Let one play lively tune on a violin,
BAzOo, piano or organ, and one or two
others drone an accompaniment with the
BAzoo and you have good bagpipe. You
can initiate "Puncl, and Judy" to perfec-
ton by speaking in shrill voice. Do not
blow into the BAzoo; but sing speak or
make some noise, rs the cut-cut cut-ca-da-
cut OF a hen, the crow Of a rooster, the cav
Of crow, the moo OF crow and hundreds
Of other noises. Ii the BAzoo does not
work properly, place the lips over the four
holes in the tin and draw the breath in and
out few times. Many limitations can be
made better by speaking through the three
round holes in the wood, or covering three
holes in the tin with the lips, leaving the
fourth uncovered. A quartette or chorus
singing through the BAzoo will bring down
the house with great applause and invari-
ably receive repeated encores. Buy four
BAzOO's, organize quartette and try it. 1t
furnishes good dancing music to excursions,
picnics, etc,
The music produced is new and taking.
String and brass orchestras find the BAZOO
very important addition. The BAzOO
sells readily in stores, street and newsstands,
at fairs, races, pleasure resorts, &c. Price

Simpson arrived here Yesterday bur
it was not generally known until to-
day that he was in town. He said to-
day that he was candidate for United
States Senator but was now interested
in the organization of the house more

hard to secure the house for the popu-

''said he" depends upon the supreme

has no right to interfere in the matter.
Certainly the court cannot finally set

prevent a man from working wrong
and that is all we ask in cases filed last
week" Confidence grows i'm republi-

not interfere in contested cases. The
republicans employed attorneys TO APP

boards of canvassers, but they are not
expected to make any very great effort.
A republican said today that the court

A Missouri Man Kills an illinois
Man in SeIf-Oefense.

FILLEY, NEB. Dec. 2S.-This city
was thrown into fever of excitement
yesterday morning by a killing COM
mitted apparently in self-defense. The
tragedy occurred ia a small room used
As an office and Mushroom of board
ing house. The person killed was S.
T. Chichester, widower about 80
years old, and very wealthy man.
The shooting was done by George
Townsend, young man about %
years old and unmarried. When the
Republic correspondent called the
young man was i: the custody of an
officer, to whom he had given himself
up Immediately after the killing. He
gave the following account Of the af-
fair, which is corroborated by a Young
man named Smith, who was the only
witness IF the shooting: Smith and
| had been cleaning revolver which
| had laid down to put some coal in
the stove. As | raised the bucket
Chichester entered the room. He
picked up the revolver, pointed it al
me and said: Now I'll fix the
-" at the same time pulling the
trigger. The revolver was not dis
charged, and by this time | was using
nv gun. | fired five shots at him,
three of which, they tell me. entered
his head. He fell and died almost
instantly. and did not say ANYTHING
more.
We had had trouble. but killed
him in seit-defen>e. Ny parents live

ter. despite bis financial standing and
influence, was regarded a. overbearins

verdict of the town was that Town
send was not 10 blame.
1t was learned last night that the
two men had quarreIed over Il woman,
daughter of the man who conducted
the clearinghouse where they live1
and where the shooting occurred. The
girl favored Townsend, and Chiches-
ter was jealous in consequence. The
dead man leaves Il daughter 10 years

A Captive Wildcat.

Florida Times Union.
Everybody has heard of Mic.
Arend's wildcat. The cat was Civ
en- Mic. some months ago, and ever
since has been living on the fat of
the land. The cook, a colOred
woman at Mics place, feeds the
cat, which has manifested a great
fOndneSs for her. When she ap-
proaches the cage he purrs in the
most pleased manner. but if any
body else comes about him he i'm
mediately grOwls and shows his
wicked looking fangs. The cat is
perfectly satisfied with his home
Two or three times the cage door
has been accidentally left open,
but he never even walked out to
see what the rest of the world
looked like. However, whenever
it occurred that the cage door was
left open, Mic. always missed a
chicken. The other day he saw
the cat catch one. He simply
crouched down by the door and
waited until the chicken, oblivious
of danger, came along, and then he
shot out his paw and had the
chicken by the head. After he
catches and kills the fowl he picks
all the feathers off of it almost as
carefully as a cook, and uses his
mouth in the operation while hold
ing the bird between his paws.

Future Speed of Steamships.

DIR. f. Elgar accounts for the con-
stantly increasing dimensions of
ocean steamships by the fact that
size alone is of immense advantage
to such ships. Whatever may be
the speed obtained with ship on
trial in smooth water, the extent
to which her average sea speed
would afterwards approach this
would depend very greatly upon
her size. A striking proof Of this
is seen in the increasing regularity
as distinct from increase in speed
with which steamers make their
voyage as their size is increased.
The variations in length of voyage
from the average become less with
increase of size. The effect of size
on speed is equally marked. DIR.
Elgar holds that with the present
materials of construction and types
of engines and machinery we will
very soon reach the absolute limit
of speed imposed by the restriction
as to draught of water. On the
other hand, Prof. Biles thinks that
a vessel of 1000 feet length, 100
feet width and a 3O-fOOt draught,
may presently be built that will
cross the Atlantic in four days.

Device for Cooking Eggs.

The edible value of an egg is al
most entirely destroying if its cook
ing is injudiciOusly timed. The
egg should be either cooked to per-
lection or not cooked at all. An
inventor named Martin, in the at
tempt to reduce egg boiling to the
most accurate as well as the sim
plest basis, has designed a tubular
spoon shank, carrying at each end
bowl which is perforated to allow
of the escape of water when the APP
pliance is used for lifting eggs from
the saucepan, so that they may be
dished up dry. But the artfulness
of the inVenter is mainly exhibited
in the construction of the tubular
shank or handle, which is made to
hold an elongated receptacle con-
sisting of two chambers of glass or
other suitable transparent material,
communicating by a small passage,
one of which is filed with a guam
tity of sand, which, like the ordi-
nary minute glass, of which the
device is a modification, occupies
certain space of time in passing
from one to the other through the
connecting neck. The sides of the
tubular piece are slotted so as to
permit Of a clear view of this tim
ing arrangement. In practice, the
egg is placed in one of the bowls of
the spoon, which is made to stand
in the saucepan in an inclined po-
sition, and the sand begins to run
When the top part of the glass is
empty, and therefore the egg cook
ed, the bowl of the spoon is raised,
the water is drained off and the
process is complete. When next
used the position of the spoon is
reversed, so that the now empty
half of the receptacle may in its
turn be filed by the running sand.
