The case of V, o.. Strlc&ler against Charles
W. Edgerton, Tie Justice OF the peace from
West Omaha precinct, brought to determine
whether on not that Official could hold two
offices, one IN West Omaha and the other in
this city, both for the transaction of bust
ness and the trial of cases, WAS decided by
Judge Ambrose yesterday.
The court held that Edgerton was elected
In and for Wcst Omaha and that he would
have TO hold his courts in that bailiwick,
keeping out of the city with his Justice
mill. An appeal will at once be taken TO the
supreme court in order TO get a final decision
upon the subject,
During the afternoon session of the court
Judge Ambrose refused TO grant the applica-
tion for the fixing of q supersedeas bond,
holding that il was not an action which
could not get into the supreme court through
the regular channels, and that therefore
there could be no bond.
Edgerton was given ten days TO get back
into his " precinct, being allowed time "a
fix up some matters which he commenced
while he Was operating The two offices.

Billy Paxton, ir., one of the proprietors of
the Merchants hotel, was recently returning
home from the hotel at a late heur. The
night was as dark as the inside of a tar
barrel and Billy approached the paternal
mansion at Twenty-siXth and tnrnnm with
all necessary caution. just as he opened
the gate a policeman about half a block
away, thinking that the late conner
was bent on burglary, called upon
him 10 stop, Billy did not stop,
however, and in %forcible, clear-cut
English requested the con to retire TO the
regions that are not paved with asphalt or
cedar blocks. This remark provoked great
wrath in the breast of the policeman and he
started toward the house on a gallop. Billy
also ran, getting inside the front door about
two necks ahead of the pursuer. The guar
dian of the peace then laid heavy siege to
the building and smote upon the door with
his club until the senior William Paxton was
aroused from Il peaceful slumber by the nm
earthly racket. Raising an upper window
he called out:
"What are YOU doing down thercE Don't
you know that's my son2'
Eyes, but he told me TO go 10 HI" an
swered the infuriated bcsleger.
"Wcll, can't yOu wait tall morning =
shouted the elder Paxton, slamming down
the window.

though her appearance indicated the highest

il was evident from her actions that she had
never been in the library before. CHANGING
about the room in a half frightened manner,
she stepped timidly but gracefully TO tho
receiving window ana with one OF the most
winsome smiles imaginable presented a
library card to the nearest attendant in

explaining that it was her first visit TO the

given her The privilege of using the card for

New Use For Natural Gas.

The possibilities of natural gas evil
IDENTIFY have not yet been exhausted.
The latest use which would seem to
have been found for it is the making
of ice, the idea being to simply ex-
pand the gas from its usually high
initial pressure down to or near that
of the atmosphere, nature having
done all the preliminary work of
compression and cooling, making the
gas ready to absorb heat from its
surroundings Immediately upon be-
ing released from confinement. All
that would be necessary would be
suitable coils or chambers into which
the gas could be allowed to expand.
1t has been calculated out quite
plausibly-in fact. that with an ordi-
nary gas well, furnishing 1,5Oo, 600
cubic feet per day, something like so
tons of ice could be turned out daily
at an expense of about SO cents a ton.
The gas loses nothing but its pres
sure, retaining all its calorific value,
and hence all its virtue for rolling
mill and glass works use. for heat
ing brick, lime and pottery kilns and
the endless number of other furnaces
to which it is adapted. In a certain
way, therefore. the gas may be re-
garded as affording something for
nothing-a desideratum to which
many in this world are constantly
looking forward.-Cassier's Maya
zine.
