A Mnlacasx ANTS Nest.

All who have journeyed through the
great forest must have frequently noticed
large black or dark brown balls attached
to the higher branches of trees, which are
called "votry." They are generally lit
tie larger than football, but occasional
ly attain the dimensions of a beehive.
These are ants nests
Now, if you can find it in your heart to
be SO ruthless and cruel, take large knife
and cut vertical section through the
nest; you will then discover that it is
made up of more or less irregular concen-
trio galleries, the floors of which are about
as thick as shilling and about a quarter
of an inch apart. Each of these floors, or
layers, is supported by a number of pillars
rising from the one Immediately below it..
Near the surface of the nest a number of
ants may be seem. but ia the center there
is a perfect swarm of them, all doubtless
wondering what can have caused such a
terrible catastrophe. But they waste not
a moment of time in idle speculation. See!
They are all as bustling and as busy as
they can be, and their first thought is to
save their helpless young and their guests,
for guests indeed they have.
If you carefully examine the ants, you
will see one here and there with very
minute red insect on its back, evidently
intent even at the risk of its own life on
securing the safety of its little guest. This
insect, placed under a magnifying lens,
turns out to be beetle. What purpose it
serves in the economy of the nest have
never been able to make out. Attached to
the branch or twigs that pass right through
the nest there are little leathery caps,
which contain eggs and small grubs. OF
what are these the larve2 know not If
some one gifted with more than ordinary
patience could study these "votry" and
the life of their inmates, the result would,
l am sure, prove of interest Cornhill

BARBER WARNED SELLERS
Central Street Swarmed With All

There were a lot of thirsty individuals
up In Lincoln yesterday owing to the
fact that they did not get down town
early enough to quench their thirst with
the "Oh, BE Joyful" and put in a stock to
las. them the remainder ofthe day.
Nearly all OF the saloons OF the town
started I'm TO do thriving business as
they expected many To come from this
city as they did the Sunday previous but
Town Sergeant Barber determined that
the illegal business of that Sunday should
not be repeated yesterday.
lie visited all the saloons early ia tho
day and notified the prCprietors that they
must close up shop, and his order was
obeyed and man could not gst drink
the rest OF the day for love or money,
After the Sergeant had ordered the sa-
looms To close people came out of the diff
ferent places In large numbers and IL was
stated this morning that there were more
people on the streets yesterday than any
Sunday I'm year.
a person could hardly turn around on
Central street unless he ran up against an
officer. There were the Town Sergeant,
the License Commissioners, the Commit
tee on Police ana nearly the whole dis
trict police force.

Officer Hammond OF Merrimao telo-
phoned the local police al Havcrhiil to ar
rest Frank Hunt. Marshal Dole detailed
Officers Shannon and Shute on the case,
and after two hours soaroh they found
Hunt at home on Mt. Washington. Hunt,

An Important CIew.
An unknown gentleman yesterday after
noon stated that while he was driving near
Rocks bridge, Friday afternoon, he saw two
men In rowboat who were acting sus-
piciously and appeared a. though they did
not want TO be seen. He claimed that the
pair answered the description Of johnson
and Little, and he says that when he
stopped his horse to watch them they
pulled up around the bend Of the river
He drove around by the river road and
saw them the second time, and feels GER
tain that they arc the men. He says when
the two saw him watching them the sec
ond time they pulled away again and rowed
down the river. The river at that point
Is not more than mile from the Crosby
homestead, and as the trio were tracked
from the Crosby homestead TO the river
road after the tragedy. II is thought they
went down in the boat Friday afternoon
and left IL there and returned TO this city
early In the evening being seen by Con-
don, and then walked down later to the
scene of the robbery and murder. The police
have been informed OF this phase, and an
attempt will be made to find the In
formant.
Officer Smith furnished an important
clew, which the police think strong. The
officer stated that he saw three men an
swering to the description given by the
Crosbys aboard the last electric car, which
left this city at II o'clock Friday night for
Merrimao.
One Of them he claims to have recog-
nized ~ Hunt. The latter, on being ques-
toned by tho police, admitted that he had
been around with Little and johnson, and
that the latter two stopped at his house
last Thursday night.
The police believe he was the third man,
who stood aloof while Edward Crosby had
the struggle with the other two and met
his death. II Is thought that Hunt will
break down and make q complete confes-
sion.
