min, who was for some time secretary
to Estrada Palma, president of the

The landing was effected within a

Lincoln, Observation-Disclosures
dent Jackson has issued the following
circulation in regard to exhibits at the
exposition:
10 Exhibitors: AS the close of the
exposition draws near manw desire in
formation as to the returning of the
educational exhibit from the Trans
Mississippi exposition at Omaha.
Each exhibit will be returned to the
person shipping the exhibit from the
county free Of charge, in conformity
with the provision made for the free
transportation of our educational ex-
hibit over Nebraska lines. Pay no ex-
press or freight charges.
AS soon az possible after the exposi-
ton closes all educational exhibits will
be taken down and packed for ship
ment. Superintendent G. w. Stewart,
my assistant, and the helpers in the
educational departn ent will give care
full attention to the packing, and !
shall give it as much of my personal
attention as I am able. 1t will not
be necessary for any one to go to Oma-
ha to pack the exhibit for shipment.
However, those living neal by or those
who nay be DESTROYS of looking after
the packing of their own exhibits, are
invited to do so. All such persons will
be furnished with a workman's pass to
the grounds after the close of the ex-
position for the time needed to do this
work. These passes may be secured at
u headquarters in the Manufactures
building or of assistant secretary Of
the state commission, J.. N. Campbell,
in the Nebraska building. I think you
will have no trouble in securing these
passes if you will make it known that
you are one of the educational exhib-
itors and show his circular to the
gate keeper,
I shall endeavor to have some photo
graphic views made of our Nebraska
educational exhibit and place cuts Of
the same in my biennial report.
Thanking the thousands of teachers
and the many thousands of pupils who
have contributed to make this exhibit a
success and a credit to our state, I am,
very respectfully, w. r. JACKSON,

INDIANS FIGHT TO DEATH.

Five Are Killed by Posse Of Nine
teen Whites After Fierce Battle.
Baker City, Ore.-(Special.)-A special
from Canyon City states that a young
man who was a member of the sheriff 8
posse just returned to Canyon City
with a report of a desperate fight which
occurred between the whites n a
renegade band of Indians. The nineteen
white men and five buck warriors were
about forty feet apart when the battle
began. George Cuttings, son Of David
Cuttings, received a ball in the left
side, the missile passing through his
lungs.
One of the Indians who was shot and
killed fought with desperate courage.
After being repeatedly shot he con-
tinued firing with his rifle until it was
empty, and then fired his revolver until
the muzzle dropped so low that the
bullets struck the ground near the
dying redskins face.

TESLA FINDS A NEW POWER.
Can Transmit Electric Force for
Many Miles Through the Air.

New York.-(special.)-Nikola Tesla,
the electrician, describes in today's is
sue Of the Electrical Review a posi-,
bility in electric power transmission.
His inventions for transmitting cleo
tricity at high pressure over long dis
tances have been successfully applied
at many natural sources of power.
Probably the most important of these
plants in the United States is at Nj
agara Falls, costing over $4,000, 900 to
install, which supplies electricity to
many large factories and supplies cleo
trio power for running the trolley line
Of the city of Buffalo, twenty-siX miles
distant.
The announcement is now made hat
by employing apparatus which he had
invented, capable of generating e%lectri-
cal pressures vastly in excess of m
heretofore used, located at natural
sources of power, the current can be
conducted to a terminal maintained at
an elevation where the rarified atmos-
phere is capable Of conducting freely
the particular current produced then,
at a distant point where the energy is
to be used commercially, to maintain
a second terminal at about the same
elevation to attract and receive the
current and to convey it to earth thro'
special means for Transforming and
utilizing it.
With the article an illustration is pre-
scented, showing streams Of electricity
issuing from a single terminal, giving
an estimated electrical pressure of g.
500, 900 volts. The Electrical Review
comments on Mr.. Tesla's novel and
startling ideas as follows:
"Tesla now proposes to transmit,
without the use Of any wires, through
the natural media-the earth and the
~air-great amounts Of power to dis
tances of thousands Of miles. This
will appear a dream-a tale from the
Arabian Nights But the eNtraordi-
nary discoveries Tesla has made dur
ing a number of years of incessant la
Dor, which are authoritatiVely describ-
ed in our present issue, make it evident
that his work in this field has passed
a stage of laboratory experiment and
is ready for a practical test on an in
dustrial scale. The success of his eff
forts means hat power from such
sources as Niagara will become avail
able in any part of the world, regard
less of distance"

M'kINLEY SHARPENS HIS AK.
Something Like Six Thousand
Heads Likely to Fail Shortly.

Washington, D.. C.-(Special.)-It is
understood hal a presidential edict,
removing a large number Of govern
ment officers from the civil service,
probably will be promulgated before
Thanksgiving day. The order is one
which has been in contemplation for
many months, having been deferred
of war business. AS at present deter
mined upon the order will affect up
ward of 5000 places. 1t will include
deputies acting as collectors of internal
revenue, who are authorized to become
acting collectors, actually serving in
that capacity. There are about 1000. of
these deputies. The largest class af-
fected is the corps of examining sur
geons of the pension bureau, of whom
there are, in all, owe 400. There
that it will be better to have these left
out of the civil service, although Sec
rotary Bliss, while understood to favor
such action, would not recommend it.
Over 5000 of these surgeons are stated
at the civil service commission never to
have been classified under the civil SER
vice law. The order will clear up the
misrepresentation of the status Of the
whole corps n place them all outside.
About fifty office deputy marshals, here
tofore reported as classified, but con
corning whose status there has been
some doubt because of their being in
the judicial branch of the service, are
expected to be placed in the exempt
class. There are other scattering posi-
tons, including some of a f%iduciary
and confidential character, which will
aggregate possibly several hundred.
This is the scope Of the order as now
outlined in official quarters, but it is
subject to further notifications before
finally being passed upon.
