No BLANKS In TINS COMPETITION.
This is competition of rather an UNI
usual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for the best story, or picture, or
architectural plan. all the competitors
rs<ining the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
prize. But the Press Claims Company's
offer is something entirly different, Each
person is asked merely to help himself
and the one who helps himself to the best
advantage isto be rewarded for doing il.
The prize is only stimulus TO do some
thing that would be well worth doing
without it. The architect whose compe-
titive plan for a club house on a certain
corner is not accepted he has spent his
labor on something of very little use to
him. But the person who patentsa simple
and useful device in the Press Claims
Company's competition, need not worry
if he fails to secure the prize. He has a
substantial result 10 show for his work
one that will command its value in the
market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in
his daily work ought TO know better how
TO improve il than the mechanical expert
who studies il only from the theoretical
point of view. Get rid of the idea that an
improvement can be too simple TO be worth
patenting. The simler the better. The
person who best succeeds in combining
simplicity and popularity, will get the
Press Claims Company's twenty-five hun
dred dollars.
The responsibility of this company
may be judged from the fact that It's
stock is held by about three hundred of
the leading news papers of the United
States.
Address the Press Claims Company.

The committee on intemperance in
their report to the Convocation of the
Province of Canterbury, in 1869,
said:
Few are cognizant of the fact that
at this time there are within the prov
ince of Canterbury upward of one
thousand parishes in which there is
neither public house nor beer shop;
and, in consequence, the intelligence,
and comfort of the people
are such as the friends of temperance
would have anticipated The num-
Der of such districts is actually | ,454,
with population of 231, 998. There
is scarcely ever any arrears of rent.
Infant mortality is very low as com
pared with other places. The tone
and sense of self respect of the work
ing people is much greater than of
hands generally. Wages are not
high, but they are enabled to secure
more of the comforts of life than
elsewhere, owing to the absence of
drinking houses.
One rector said: The absence Of
any public house or beer shop has
diminished temptation to evil. As
one of my parishioners expressed it,
cit has saved many a shilling.
There is no case of habitual drunk
enness within the parish, either man
or woman.
Another rector said: There is no
public house or beer shop, l am hap
Ply to say in this parish OF this
the advantage is great. 1t promotes,
almost ensures, sobriety and temper
ance. The village is very quiet and
orderly. The constable's office is a
sinecure; drunken man is very
rare sight.
Another said: | have been in this
parish since 1914, and have never
seen anyone tipsy. We have no
public house or beer shop. We have
had no case for the police since |
came here.
Another: | have been in the parish
sixteen years. We have no public
house or beer shop. The inhabitants
are all very sober. | have not, dur
ing my stay, seen one drunken man
in the parish.
And another said. Out of the
twenty parishes in this district where
there are no places for the sale of in
toxicating drink, there is seldom
case for magisterial interference, and
laboring classes are well fed and live
comfortably but in districts where
public houses and beer shops exist,
there is plenty of work for the police
and magistrates, the cause of which
is drink.
In Vineland, New Jersey, with a
population of u, 600 people, the fol-
lowing testimony is given by Mr..
Curtis, overseer of the poor and CON
stable, who in an annual report said
For six months no settler or citizen
of Vineland has received relief at my
hands as overseer of the poor. Dur
ing the entire year there has been
only one indictment, and that tri-
fling case of battery among our col.
ored population. There has been
only one house burned in year, and
two slight fires which were soon pun
out. We practically have no debt
and our taxes are only one per cen
on the valuation. The police ex
penses amount to $75 per year only
and our poor expenses are mer,
trille. | ascribe this state of things
to the absence of King Alcohol.

THE WINNER HAS A CLEAR
GIFT OF 50, 800, AND THE
LOSERS HAVE PAT ENTS
THAT MAY BRING THEM IN
STILL MORE.

Would you like to make twenty-five hun
dred dollars? If you would, read carefully
what follows and you may see way TO
do it,
The Press Claims Company devotes
much attention to patents. 1t has handled
thousands of applications for inventions,
but ii would like to handle thousands more.
There is plenty of inventive talent at
large in this country, needing nothing
but announcement to produce practical
results. That encouragement the Press
Claims Company proposes to give.
Nor SO HARD As IT SEEMS.
a patent strikes most people as an APP
pallingy formidable thing. The idea is
that an inventor must be IA natural genius,
like Edison or Bell; that ne must devote
years TO delving in complicated mechanical
problems and that he must spend for
tune on delicate experiments before he can
get a new device to patentable degree of
perfection. This delusion the company
desires to dispel. 1t desires to get into
the public clear comprehension OF the
fact that it is not the great, complex, and
expensive inventions that bring the best
returns to their authors, but the little, sim
pile and cheap ones-the things that seem
so absurdly trivialthat the average citizen
would feel somewhat ashamed of bring
ing them to the attention of the Patent
Office
Edison says that the profits he has re-
ceived from the patents on all his mar
Vicious inventions have not been sufficient
TO pay the cost of his experiments. But

scheme. The modern sewing machine is
miracal of ingenuity--the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains
through a hundred and fifty years, but
the whole brilliant result rests upon the
simple device of putting the eye of the
needle at the point instead of at the other
end.
The LITTLE THINGS The MosT VALU-
ABLE.
Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
with ideas that seemed calculated to re-
duce some of the little frictions of life.
Usually such ideas are dismissed without
further thought.

its car windows so that they can be slid

sengers' backs?' exclaims the traveller.

SAYS THE MURDERED MAN DESERTED HER
Cass County Citizens for the First TING
Hear Rumors Rejecting ON the Con-
duct OF the Deceased
Farmer.

PLATTsMoUTH, Nov. 1l.--[Special Telegram
to The BEE. Some sensational facts have
recently come to light in regard TO the early
history of Matthew Akeson, the Cass county
farmer whose murder last week created
such n furorc. 1t is alleged that when Axe
son left Sweden some thirty years ago for
the United States he left behind him q
young wife, whom he promised to send for
as soon as he secured a means of making q
livelihood.
Akeson prospered from the very day Of
his arrival, but he forgot all about the wife
in Sweden, for when he came TO Cass county
over twenty-five years ago he took unto
himself a new wife, with whose aid he
reared a fairsized family of children. He
was n thrifty farmer and his possessions ut
the time of his murder were fully SD, 900.
The first the Akeson family knew of a
former wife in Sweden was the other day
when they were informed by IA woman who
wrote from Council Bluffs that she was MIR.
Akeson's wife and had been for tho last
thirty years. h asserts that she can fully
substantiate her claim and has given notice
that when 1t comes to a division of the es-
tate she must have her share.
THAI the woman means business is evil
dent by the fact that she has secured an at
torney to push her claims. The late Mrs.

Burt Republicans Won.

TEKAMAH, Neb., Nov. 1l.-ISpecial to The
BEE. Republicans in Burt county feel
jubilant over their splendid victory at the
polls Tuesday. The entire republican ticket,
superintendent of schools excepted, was
elected. The combine OF the demo-pops was
completely knocked out and Burt county re-
tires from the election of 1893 AS a strong
republican county. The majorities range
from $50 to nearly 700.
The officials elected in the ounty are:
John l.. Wilson, treasurer Arthur M. Ander-
son, clerk Charles L. Dickinson, Judge; M.
S. McGrew, sheriff: Charles Il. Beck, super

MILWAUKEE, Nov. II, - Another serious
marine disaster occurred in the fog on Lake
Michigan early this morning. Atnoon today
the steamer Lehigh arrived here and her
captain reported when off Racine at
8 o'clock, tho steamer sailed through a mass
of wreckage consisting of pals, pail racks,
etc. A boat was lowered and the sur
face of the lake was thoroughly ex-
amined. A boat marked Thomas Smith,
containing an old plush cap was found and
taken on board the Lehigh. Two other
boats, one bottom up and the other sunk TO
the gunwales, were sighted. Life preservers
were also found drifting about, They were
marked the same as the boat. The Lehigh
brought in the boats. The fog prevented
the Lehigh's crew from pursuing the inves-
tigation AS far as it desired. kilograms

news that the Thomas Smith had
been SUM by the Arthur Orr about 3
