Resigns His Place to Support
Bryan and BreidenthaI.
HE WRITES ALETTER.
COngratulates Fusion Candidate
ON His Nomination.
Says That the Office at Last
Seeks the Man.

One of the political surprises of the
year is in the announcement made by
ex-Lieutenant Governor A. J. Felt, chair
man of the Nemaha Republican commit
tee, of his purpose to support Bryan,
Breidenthal and the fusionists in the
Kansas campaign.
Mr.. Felt has been loni- a devoted Re-
publican; he served the state as the pre-
siding officer of the se-ate and has al
ways been one of the faithful supporters
and workers for the success of the state
Republican ticket.
Mr.. Felt's health has compelled him to
retire from the field of active politics
during the past few years, but he has
served the Republicans of Nemaha
county as chairman of the county com
mittee. This position he has resigned
and steps out to work for the anti-Re-
publican forces.
Mr.. Felt was lieutenant governor dur
ing the administration of John A. Mar
tin.

campaign, my duty as a citizen leads me
to cast my ballot for Americans who
still believe that the legend upon the dol

ideal than the new Mark Hanna version.

INDIGO IN COLONIAL TIMES.
It Was Looked Upon as Sort of eur-
 rent Coin.

Ii Was Looked Upon as B Sort of Cur-
 rent Coin.
 The colonial ladies were great gar deners, and the hours they passed with their fruits and flowers must have been moments of much pleasure in their busy lives. says Longman's Magazine Tn, most famous of these ladies was the daughter of George Lucas,a planter Of Carolina, and at the same time governor of Antigua, at which place he appears to have resided leaving Miss Eliza at home. From Antigua he sent her all sorts of tropical seeds of fruits and flowers, to try if any would take kindly to the soil of Carolina. Eliza observed certain hopeful signs with re- gard to the indigo and undismayed by repeated accidents to the young plants. at length obtained a good crop. Gov. Lucas was so delighted at this un- looked for success that he sent over an Englishman to teach Eliza the whole process of indigo working The Eng hshman, bearing gifts, seems to have been rather sly and tricky sort VI P0iooh' pue "h0h uid Gh5iahu efol get the better of America? The youth full Miss Lucas saw through the Eng lishmans dodges, (his name was Crom- welD, and finally obtained a success full knowledge and application of the complex and annoying methods of ex- tracing indigo" A bounty of 6d a pound encouraged the planting, and through it's profits more children were sent over from Carolina to be educated at home than from all the colonies put together. Indigo was looked upon at last as a sort of current coin, and it Is on record that when a little boy was sent to school at Philadelphia, he took with aim wagon of indigo to pay his expenses.

With su- preme satisfaction and a feeling that he was doing Gods will, the aged law yer watched his precious volumes with CT and crumble into ashes in the fur mace heat. Many of the volumes were exceedingly rare. There were a large number of manuscripts and first prints not to be found in any other library in America.

FAMOUS CONVICT SHIP
AThe Chamber of Horrors" Which Was
 Built Hundred Years Ago.

One of the curiosities in England at present is the old convict ship Success, which has recently been converted into a museum, or into what foreign jour nalist style a chamber of horrors" She was built l10 years ago. and her first years were spent in cruising be- tween the East Indies and England In 1929 the British admiralty bought and stationed her in the waters of wester, Australia. Capt Stirling was then in command, and from his Scottish birth place the town of Perth in Australia takes it's name. From 1847 10 1851 the Success piled between London and East Adelaide. On her last trip she had on board several hundead immi- grants who intended to seek tueir for tunes in the newly discovered gold fields During the voyage the captain, the other officers, and the entire crew became seized with the same gold fever and the result was that when land was reached they, too, left the ship and went off to seek their fortunes. The Success was next used to transport criminals of the deepest dye to Van Diemen's Land, as Tasmania was then called, and she also served as floating prison for especially dangerous crim- inals. The vessel then became popu- larly know mas The Hell of the Ocean, title which was evidently well deserved. Old records show that some awful scenes took place on her. The prisoners cells were in two tiers under the deck, and were so small that inmates could hardly move in them. Moreover, they were so fashioned that they could be made light or dark, and the most insubordsnate prisoners were always placed in the latter. These curious cells, many of the old instru- ments of torture and a number of wax figures representing famous criminals are now being exhibited on the Sue cess, and are attracting a crowd of sightseers. The old ship is at present in Leith Har'sor, in Seotland.--New York Herald.

Lake Of sulphuric Acid.

It may be difficult to believe in the existence of a lake of sulphurie acid, but, according to Tit-Bits, there is such a lake in the center of Sulphur island, off New Zealand It is fifty acres in extent, about twelve feet in depth and fifteen feet above the level os the sea. The most remarkable characteristic of this lake, however, is that the water contains vast quantities of hydro chlori, and sulphuric acids, hissing and bubbling at a temperature of 110 degrees Fahrenheit The dark green eolored water looks particularly un- inviting. Dense clouds of sulphugic fumes constantly roll off this boiling ealdron, and care has to be exercised ir approaching this lake to avoid the risk of s1ffocation. On the opposite side ot the lake may be seen the tremendous blowholes. which, when in full blast present an awe-inspiring sighs. The roar Of the steam as it rushes forth into the air is deafening, and often huge bowlers and stones are hurled out to a height of several hundred feet by the various internal forces of na- ture.

sfBLE WITH ROMANTIC HISTORY
It Was Found on the Plains and Used

1t Was Found on the Plains and Used
 on Many Ceremonial Occasions.
 The Bible which was used in the ceremonies beginning the celebration in this city Of the fiftieth anniversary Of the state of California has a history that is very interesting. In 1849 a young man in coming across the plains found a pile of books by the side of the road with stick stuck among them bearing a note telling travellers to help themselves. The young man in searching through the old volumes found handsome Bible, which he con sidered shame to be left upon the dreary desert. He placed it in bis pack and carried it to Sacramento He presented it tt pr. R. H. Mcdonald, who at that tune conducted drug store in that city. Some time after the advent of the Bible into Sacramento meeting was called in that city for the purpose of founding lodge of Masons That was on Jan. 8. 1850, and the lodge was to be known as Connecticut Lodge, No. 75. It chancee that the meeting place was adjoining the premises occupied by Dr. McDon- aid. When it was convened It was found that there was no Bible at hand with which to conduct the ceremonies and Dr. Mcdonald presented the booS that had been given to him by the young man for the lodges use. On the 18th of the following April the grand lodge of Mason@ was formed and the Bible again played an important part in the ceremonies. After the form- ation of the grand lodge the name or Connecticut lodge was changed 10 Ie- hama lodge, No. 5, but ever since It's establishment on Jan. s, 1850, the bl- ble has remained in the possession or the lodge. R. o.

 Women Geniusss.
 Many of the most useful novelties of the day were evolved by women. Silk weaving was invented by the wife of the fourth Chinese emperor; bronze work by Japanese woman; the weav ing of cashmere shawls by woman of the Indian harem, and the lost secret of Venetian point lace was rediscov- cred by an Italian woman. Harriet Hosmer invented way to make mar. bIe from limestone. Mrs. Strong, who began by inventing a corset, ended by taking out patents for dams and reser- yoirs. 4 woman invented satchel bottom paper bag and was offered $20. 900 for her patent before leaving Washington. A Texas woman invented digging machine; an English woman a horseshoe; Florida woman a rail- road car, and an Illinois woman cal heater
