''salamander" in a year ne has earned a
pretty good salary, If he does nothing else.
Some time ago it became necessary for Mr..
Boyer to repair a furnace in which some
bricks had fallen in and others threatened
to fall The furnace was still very hot,
probably 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit Into this
furnace heated above boiling, Boyer went in
order to make the repairs necessary. He
clothed himself in woolen garments. cloved
his hands and crawled in through the door.
and stood on the iron CRATES His Shpes were
soon on fire, when he called for some orc
20 push a board in for him 10 stand on
while he worked. The board, too, was soon
in flames, and the fire curled and cracked
about the daring mans feet. The sweat
burst from every pore of Boyer's body and
dropped onto the hot CRATES and filled his
sleeves, but he kept on at WORK until his
repairs were completed, which took some
twelve or fifteen minutes. His tools became
so hot that they burned his hands; his shoes
were almost burned from his feet; his
clothes were scorched and his hair and
beard curled by the heat. When he came
out he was as weak as a child from the ter
rible heat, but the work was done and the
furnace saved. This is only one among the
many like experiences of Boyer's at the iron
works and he knows not the day nor the
hour when he may be called on, for he may
be hurried out of bed to repair a furnace
that has gone wrong. He is a valuable man
to the company, and commands a good big
salary, since he saves great losses sometimoo
by his remarkable agility. Changes take
place, men come and go, but Boyer still re-
mains in good times and bad, for he cannot
be spared.
This man who can stand on burning CRATES
and deties the heat Of the furnaces and
works with the flames rolling about his feet
willis before the first extreme of solar heat.
When the weather gets hot he will fee
from 80 degrees of solar heat and go down
to the mill and sit down in 130 degrees
of heat from the furnace fires to cool off
Last summer during the hot weather he
most of the time about the mill
rather than expose himself to the heat OF
the sun. His body has undergone a complete
change and he is at variance with his en-
vironment. The cold weather has a most
distressing effect on his system, and very
often he will be seen going about when
others are in light clothes with his over
coat buttoned up to his chin. His habit is
such that II IS hard for him to find a con
genial temperature outside the mill.
Mr. Boyer has no little trouble to adjust
himself to the temperature of his house.
'or his family are not used to the extremes
Of heat he has so often endured. Notwith-

RETIREMENT FOR ARMY CLERKS.
Provisions of the Dill Recently In
trnImccl In Ganirrnss

The clerks in the army headquarters who
have not heretofore enjoyed the benevolent
protection of that feature of the civil service
system which provides for the retirement OF
employees on a reduced compensation are
much elated on account of bill that has
been introduced in the house of rep
resentatives by Congressman Brosius. This
bill provides that after July 1 per cent of
the salary of every classified civil service
employe of the government shall be with
held and deposited in the treasury to tho
account OF the retirement fund. Under
certain provisions, old employees may be
retired and receive from this fund a salary
equal to 75 per cent of the highest salary
that they had at any time received from the
government. Those who are made eligible
for retirement are employees who have been
employed in the civil service for twenty
years or more and have become physically
or mentally incapacitated for duty, and
others who have reached the age of 60 years
and have been thirty years in civil service
employment. Those who are 10 years old

PlLING UP THE COURT COSTS
Dispute Involving Five Dollars Has Several
Turns in the Justice Mill.
TWO WOMEN AND A MUcH-DlSPUTED BILL
Case TINT Has Run Through All of
the Justice Courts Proves
Something of II Bonnnzn
for the OniciaIs.

For the past few weeks a damage suit has
been running the gamut Of the various JUS
tice courts in Omaha and vicinity. 1t i'm
wolves some elements of novelty. The origi-
nal judgment in the case was for 80 cents,
and this amount has been responsible for
nearly dozen different suits and the accumu-
lation of an amount of court costs and at
torney fees that already aggregate several
hundred dollars.
1t all resulted from a disputed dress
makers bill, n which there was never a
difference of more than IS between the dis
putants. The defendant is a Mrs. Shelhart
who is the proprietor of small dressmaking
establishment on the north side. Some time
ago she employed Florence Cole as a seam
stress and when the latter was dismissed
she claimed 50 more than her employer was
willing to allow her. The dispute became
animated with the result that Miss Cole
brought suit in Justice Easts court for the
amount There she obtained verdict for 80
cents and costs. Mrs. Shelhart paid the
judgment and $6.40 in costs and then re-
ceived notice that the same suit had been
begun in Justice Morrow's court at East
Omaha and that an attachment had been
issued against her furniture. Then she en-
ployed a lawyer who obtained a change of
venue to Justice Fosters court. There the
plaintiff failed to appear and the defendant
obtained a judgment for costs and an order
dissolving the attachment. But in the mean
time the plaintiff had filed her suit for the
third time in Justice Wilde's court. The
defendant obtained a change of venue to
Justice Cockrell's court, where a motion to
dissolve the attachment was sustained. The
paintif did not mind little thing like that
and Immediately brought the same proceed
ings in Justice Karling's court, where it is
to be heard today. The defendants at
torneys have now become tired of being
dragged from one Justice shop to another
and have applied to the district court for an
injunction to prevent any further trial of
the suit. A restraining order was granted
by Judge Scott and the injunction will be
argued before him Monday forenoon
As side issue the defendant has Blonde
Clarke, the constable who has looked after
the interests of the plaintiff, arrested for
sending threatening letters. She asserts
that Clarke wrote her several letters threat
ening to secure the discharge of her husband
from his position, and Clarke is now out on
bonds. The case was heard in Justice Fos-
teTs court yesterday afternoon, and Clarke
was bound over to the district court in 5000
bonds

OF WATER COMPANY
Local officers Not Surprised by De-
cision of the Managers.


The Washington dispatch which stated
that the board OF directors of the Oma IA
water company had decided to make no
extensive improvements in their plant this
year was not entirely a surprise to the
local managers.
When President Woodbury. was in Omaha
some weeks ago he was nc: encouraged by
the Information that he was able to obtain
relative to the prospects of the water COM
pany with the city. Superintendent Hunt
said yesterday that 1t was merely a
business proposition with the company. II
the company had obtained assurance that
the mayor and council would pay the water
bills teh company would have at once pre-
pared to go ahead with the improve nents
contemplated. But as such assurance could
not be obtained the company was naturally
reluctant to invest any more money than
was absolutely necessary. Superintendent
Hunt added, however, the statement that he
had not altogether given up hope. During
the last few weeks and since the departure OF
President Woodbury. he had noticed some
what more favorable sentiment toward the
water company. lie had been led TO be-
lieye that the water bills would eventually
be paid, and If this proved to be the case il
would entirely alter the sentiments of the
directors.
If he was able to show the directors that
there was a reasonable prospect of being
able to collect the amount due they would
decide to go ahead and put in
the improy yements

RETURNS TO PRISON
at Sidney, Iowa, Where He Wts
Employed as Laborer.
ESCAPADEs OF A DESERVING SOLDIER
Succeeds In Making His Escape, But
Is Recnptured by Reason of
Having Written Letters
to His Comrades.

C. NJ. Conner United States soldier, was
taken to Fort Crook yesterday to serve out
fourteen months in the guard house, the
balance of three-year sentence he received
for desertion. Between trains yesterday
the prisoner, who IVES under the care OF
Lieutenant Isaac Newell, was accommodated
with a cell at the police station.
Private Conner deserted about year and
a half ago, and after his capture, which
occurred shortly afterward. was sentenced
to term of three years in the guard house.
He was removed to the prison at Fort Crook
when that post was occupied and he lived
there in contentment until some two months
ago, when he was placed under the care Of a
recruit. This recruit was anxious TO make
record and as a consequence Private Con-
Ter was compelled to march very straight
line. 1t was then that the soldier made up
his mind to get even with his guard and
laid his plans for escape. One day the two
were in the mess room. Conner was at
work, but suddenly he said
II guess I'll go down stairs"
Guess again" began the guard but no
did not say any more, because by the time
that the words we're out OF his mouth Conner
was at the foot of the stairs and was making
a hot-fOot across the country. He managed
TO eyade capture. He had planned every
thing beforehand and among the other ar
had dressed himself in a citizens
suit, which he wore beneath his uniform.
When he got into the Bellevue woods he
"ditched' tie government uniform and when
the coast was clear he tramDod across tho
country to Plattsmouth. He had been in
that town but few minutes when he was
hailed by a detective. Conner was not
anxious to meet any officers at that moment
and walked on, but the detective caught uD
with him directly under an are light.
Il think you are the man | want" said
the officer. Are you from Omaha?"
you've got two thinks coming" re-
sponded tho soldier. II am going to Omaha
Who are you sir?"
Conner convinced him that he was too
young to be the man wanted and that he
was really going to Omaha. He learned that
the next train would go In the morning. He
bought the officer drink. and in his
gratitude the latter took the descrter to
hotel Conner registered In the presence OF
tho officer, but just soon as the latter
went out the soldier left the hOstelry and
lost no time In crossing the river over into
Iowa. Conner then made his way 10 Sidney
md there he lived until Thursday being
Employed In a livery stable. He assumed a
fictitious name, but his fellow townsnen
'ecame suspicious OF him. His downfall
vas due TO his correspondence. Some OF his
ormer companions wrote to him under his
light name and one day one of the letters
Tipped out OF his pocket. II was picked
Up by someone and turned over TO the
marshal. The latter at once Informed the
at Fort Crook and Thursday
Lieutenant Newell arrived In the town and
apture1 his man.

THE LONGEST BRIDGE.
4 Great Structure Recently Erected
Over the Danube.

Over the Danube.
The longest railroad bridge OF Europe,
and. in fact, the world, was recently opened
to traffic with great ceremony. The new
railroad bridge over the Danube river at
Czernayoda is one Of the most important
technical achievements Of recent date. For
more than nine miles this bridge crosses
the Danube proper, and the so-called terri
tory of inundatlon, which Is annually under
water for n certain period of time The
largest spans are over the main current of
the river there being one of 620 feet, and
four OF 455 feet each. The total length Of the
bridge proper, without approaches, Is 1885
feet, while the largest railroad bridges In
the world measure as follows Tay bridge
Scotland, 1O.725 feet; Mississippi bridge at
Memphis, 10000 feet; the Forth bridge,
Scotland 500 feet; the Morody bridge in
Galicia, 4,sO0 feet, and the bridge over the
Volga, near Sysran, 400 feet
The clear height of the bridge over the
main channel Is so calculated that even at
high water the largest vessels sailing on
the Danube may pass under II. The clear
helghth from high water mark. which
Is taken at thirty-hye feet above low
water mark, measures 1O5 feet to the
lowest rafters Of the superstructure. The
caissons upon which the foundations OF the
bridge piers rest, reach to rock bottom at 1l5
feet below high water mark The Roumnn-
this magnificent structure, which enabled
travellers from London to COnstantinople
or India TO shorten their trip by fully six
teen hours. The promise OF divertlng the
mails from other lines was
the most potent factor in bringing about
the construction OF this bridge over the
Danube on the part OF Roumania.
