sILAs A. HOLCOMB. THOMAS j. MAJORS.
native of Gibson county, Ind, and is 80
years of age. Last year the Populists nom
mated him for justice of the supreme
court, but he met with defeat. He resides
in Broken Bow and is "a well known law
yer and Judge of the district court.
Thomas j. Majors, the Republican can
didate for governor and present lieutcn
ant governor of Nebraska, was born in
jefferson county, Ills, 80 years ago. He
attended the common schools until he was
Is and then went to work. He spent some
time at Pixies Peak and in 1859 removed
to Nebraska, where he has since remained.
When Fort Sumter was fired upon, Ma
jors entered the First Nebraska infantry
and served five years, three of which were
in the south.
Upon his return to Nebraska i'm 1866 he
was elected member of the territorial
council, and when statehood was confer
red upon Nebra. ka he was INT to the first
and second sessions Of the new state SEN
ate. During tho first session he introduced
and assisted in passing bills locating state
normal schools and attended one of them
for year President Grant appointed Ma
jors collector of internal revenue for che
district including Nebraska, an Office he
held for five years. Since then he has been
one of the most active politicians in the
state
In 1880 Majors was elected a 'contin
gent member OF the Forty seventh con
gress, and he had a bill introduced in con-
gress the following year awarding him
the seat en- the ground that the state con-
sus of 1872 entitled n brasBa to another
congressman. The special committee OF
the house of representatives decided
against the claim of Majors however, and
he failed to get the seat. Since then he
has served two terms in the state senate
and two in the house. -Four years ago he
was placed on the Republican ticket for the
office of lieutenant governor by the state
central committee in place of the regular
nominee, who failed to qualify, and was
elected TO the office he now occupies.

Novelties In Photography.

1t is rather startling to the ordinary
mind to be told that photographs can he
taken without the assistance of light,
Photography has always been so associat
ed with the action of the suns rays anC
bright lights that new departure in the
direction of similar results produced by
ether waves set up by the working of ar
electrical machine is genuine surprise.
y scientist, however, gives the following
facts Lay coin, like "a half dollar, on {
plate of glass and let few sparks from
an electric machine fall upon it. Remove
the coin, and the glass surface will not
appear to have been affected, but if it be
breathcd ON the image of the coin will at
once be seen That it is really engraved
upon the glass is evident, for it will not
easily rub off If piece of Photographic
paper take the place of the glass, it will
have the imprint Of the coin made upon
it. 1t is not needful to have the sparks
fall upon the coin, for if it be inclosed in
a dark box and brought near to an electric
machine having short sparks passing be-
tween its knobs the ether waves set up by
the latter will he short enough to affect
the Photographic surface, which may be
developed afterward in the ordinary way.
The idea is new, but practical and susccp-
tible of great development and utility

was graduated from Amherst college in
1865. While at Amherst he took a spe-
cial course in law, in addition to the gen.
eral course of the college. He then taught
school for year in Dover n. Y, after
which he resumed the study of law.
In 1866 he removed to Iowa and became
private secretary to Governor Merrill. His
next office was United States consul at
Stoke-upon- Trept under President Gar
field. After a two years sojourn abroad
he returned to Iowa and resumed the prac-
tice of his profession. In 1876 he was
elected supreme court reporter of Iowa,
and in 1881 he began a four years term
as United States district attorney Mean
time he had not been idle in politics. In
1879 and 1880 he was chairman of tho
Iowa state central Republican committee,
and from 1880 to 1854 lie was a member
of the national Republican committee.
He had made corporation law his spe-
oialty in his profession and had attracted
such favorable attention that he became
attorney for the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, Wabash, Des Moines and North
western and other railroads, and also did
| legal bushes for the Western Union,
| American Express company and the Whs-
/ ky trust. His knowledge of corporation
and trust law led him to remove to Chi
cago in 1883 and become the legal adviser
/ of the Pullman Palace Car company. He
/ has had little to do with politics since he
became a resident of Chicago, but he occa-
sionally makes speeches for the Republic
an party during state and national cam
paigns. He has been president of the
Marquette club and belongs to numerous
other social and political organizations in
Chicago. He is a capital after dinner speak
err, and his wit and eloquence have enter
tanned numerous audiences. Ii 1889 he
delivered the dedicatory address at the
opening of the Chicago Auditorium. Mr..
Runnclls was married in 1869 to Miss
Helen r. Baker, daughter of Ex-Governor
Baker of New Hampshire. They have
three daughters and one son.

TIE EALING APPLE.
A New Theory which Pr inises TO Eclipss
That of Sir Isaac newton.


While Sir Isaac N-wtcn was lilly wan
dering his way til. ugh the shady avendo4
OF an apple orchard bui u few centuries
back has silent thoughts were abruptly
disturbed by sharp crack upon his
Uranium.
On recovering his senses he discovered
that large, ripe descendant of the for
hidden fruit had become detached from
well laden branch and for some unknown
reason had made its way toward the
ground, though incidentally meeting witt
an obstacle which retarded its course.
This simple incident set Mr.. Newton tt
thinking, and he wondered why the apple
should fall downward and not upward
This gave rise to additional meditation,
while Others took up the study, and it wa:
finally contended that there was a force
which caused all things to sink to the earth,
and so, upon Sir Isaac's discovery, the
laws of attraction and gravitation wert
founded until now the Newtonian theory
is recognized in physics as scientific
truth
Robert Stevenson, in a recent lecture
before the Academy of Science, made il
known that the illustrious Isaac wa:
not in it," so to speak, and that his theory
as regards the falling of an apple down
ward was simply the product of IA diseased
Imagination.
Mr. Stevenson does not hold that AZ
apple should make its way heavenward t
feed the angels, but contends that tht
Newtonian laws have nothing to do with
the production of the laws of gravitation
and that if the world revolved at a grcatci
velocity than it's present limit the inhal,
itants thereon would be enabled to wall
about in the air without the least incon
venience, while apples would fall upward
downward, eastward, westward or an!
other direction, at the mercy of the wind
He further contcnded that horizontal
bar would reach the ground much quicke
than u falling body and concluded by stat

ing, "the sun rises or the sun sets" i
/ positively false, as the sun is quite sta

Funny Experience of a Congressman Thh

"When l got in tho car, it was quite

said That was 50 bill, sir, at the same
time exhibiting it to me- Twas very much
surprised, of course, and said: Why, yes
That's the fare, isn't it?' Yes, sir, was
the reply; that's all right, sir. l sat fol
minute trying to imagine what the fell
low wanted. 1t was altogether too early
to hint for a fee, especially as the berth
allotted to me was already made up. AS /
could not make up my mind what the
reason for this conduct was, stepped back
and asked the porter what he meant. Oh,
he replied, l see you are puzzled, boss.
The fact is every now and then II gentle
man hands me Il dollar and then the next
morning or perhaps after a smoke asks me
for the change, declaring that it was a Sl
note. 1 simply called your attention to the
fact that it was a 50 note. If passenger

gave the porter s. bill, of course the con.

A Very Broad Hint.

The following might be taken as an IL
lustration of IA very broad hint. A great
military man says that he once sat next
Prince Bismarck at a dinner party, and at
a very slight distance from the old en-
peror. Bismarck was literally loud in his
expressions of gratitude and loyalty to his
sovereign.
''He has great generosity of DISPOSE
tion, he declared. lone day he said to
me, How can l show my sense of the
many obligations l am under to your
Il replied that it was unnecessary, but
that if he would send me a few bottles OF
a certain hook he possessed it would bi
very welcome. That was five years ago,
and, " said the prince raising his voice,
"he has not sent them yet. "
Hush, hushw whispered the other.
