CHANCE FOR A SPECULATION.
The governor of Nebraska often has op-
portunities to engage in speculatons or to
perform services for outside parties with
lurid promises of large returns. A sample
offer comes today from a Wisconsin man
who says that he has invented N safety car
coupler, and learning that the roads of Ne
braska are compelled by law to adopt some
system OF safety coupling, he very naturally
wants them to adopt his invention. He asks
the governor to use his influence with the
rlilroad companies in getting them to take
this new and wonderful invention" which
ne has not yet patented but which he will
sell to the companies for $1,000 and allow
them to take out the patent themselves.
II the governor will attend to this he will
fork over $500 of the money received from
the railroads as pay for the service.
