Brto she is on the open sea and can proceed al

Those unpleasant and dissatisfied persons who

no soul for poetry and that life here Is stale
and fat. If not improbable, should 60 and hide
themselves till they get over that little piece
Of cynical affectation. As matter OF fact.
there Is no more romantic town on the face or
the earth. Boston boasts of polite trolley-car
conductors but even Boston with all It's culture,
has not policemen so lmbued with the spirit or
poetry that they act Shakespeare as they go
about their duties. Seek ont the Forest or

This is not alone contributed TO by the exceed

ment they can find to ship out on their lines
where repair work is going on. So may or thNs

Nebraska by the railroads that there is n notice

Skilled labor is almost wholly employed
In Omaha there are few idle men. and those
VINO are idle largely so from choice. All
lines Of business have increased enormously over
last year. The volume OF the wholesale trade
at Missouri River points has generally increased
20 per cent while nearly all articles handed
have largely increased In price
There never was q time when there was 20
much surplus money in the State. and the
country banks have enormous deposits.
The crop prospects indicate 3O0.000.WO bush

There are more than a million head of live cat

The Navy Department has put the torpedo
boat Talbot in commission to make an ex-
haustive test OF liquid fuel. The programme
includes a series Of experiments that VIII take
several months to complete. 1t is evident that
the use Of liquid fuel would mean great saving
in bunker capacity. because much less oil than
coal is required 10 evaporate given quantity
OF water II is also a fact that Russian steam
ers on the Caspian Sea have for some time used
liquid fuel as have also other steam VeSse's'
on the other hand. oil Is liable. from agitation
and changes Of temperature, to generate gases
that are dangerous. and in most ports oil costs
considerably more than coal The experiments to
be made with the Talbot are calculated TO show
whether the dangers may not be minimzed by
scientific care in handling and whether the con-
sumption necessary TO do given amount OF
work may not be made so small that II VIII
not cost any more than other fuel
