One Decision That the Supreme
Court Couldn't Alter.
In the good old days when Judge
Gaslin sat upon the bench in district
that comprised the western half Of
Nebraska. the rustler. the horse thief
and the killer abounded. Judge G8slln
was aware that there was but one way
to rid the country of these pests, aud
that way was TO make 1t too hot for
them. Accordingly Judge Gaslin, when
one of them was put ON trial, admitted
evidence that was sometimes 'incom-
petent, irrelevant and immaterial," but
as it was generally true that IL the
prisoner was not guilty he had been
guilty Of something equally bad Judge
Gaslin let it go at that and clinched
the prisoner on general principles. The
result was that the supreme court re-
versed good many of the judge
cases.
During these perilous times an afro
cious murder was committed in Adams
county and the perpetrators were soon
captured. The evidences Of guilt were
plain, and the two prisoners were soon
pronounced guilty and sentenced to be
hanged. But as several notorious char
acters had recently been allowed to es-
cape by the supreme court. the people
of Adams determined to forestall any
thing of that kind by quietly lynching
the prisoners. The two men were TAX
en- from the Jail and hanged to rail-
road bridOo aoct of
The bodies were left hanging TO the
bridge, and next morning Judge Gas
lin sauntered out that way TO take a
look. He gazed on the swaying bodies
for few moments without saying a
word. Then he turned TO friend and
remarked:
II sentenced those two fellows to |
hanged. That's one decision that in
fernal supreme court won't reverse

OLD SOL
Shows People That He
Knowns His Business
In the Art Of Railway Curves-He Is
a Dandy.

Passengers on the East Market street
car line are wondering why the street
car company has placed a sharp curve
in the line near Arch st. They will
be gratfied to know that the curve is
not due to the company's workmen
but TO the intense rays of the sun.
At the point named, the track is en-
tirely exposed. the dirt having been
removed on account of the paving of
the street. Tuesday while the men
were at work on the street they heard
sudden noise on the track. They
looked to the place from which the
sound came and beheld perfect curve
i'm what few moments before had
been perfectly straight track.
The rails are seven inches high and
the intense heat upon their surface had
expanded them to such degree that
both rails jumped out of line. Cars
were able to pass over the line as be-
fore. the curve necessitating less rate
of speed only.

THE REPORTERS METHODS.
Marked Difference From, Those of tn

Marked Difference From Those of the
Orator, Preacher ard Novelist.
Probably not one reader In a hundred
has paused to notice that a newspaper
article is written on n plan ju3t the re-
verse of that of sermon or grafton.
Comparatively few ministers have an
alyzed the subject sufficiently to notice
this fact, and their ignorance of 1t will
often account for the reluctance of
newspapers to accept matter contribut-
ed by them. 1t is worth the while of
general plan on which newspaper arti-
cles are written, for almost everybody
desires at times TO announce something
through the press. The mere knowl-
edge Of the theory will not make sue
cessful writer in this or any other de-
partment, but it is the first step.
The skillful preacher or orator usual
ly reserves his most important points
until toward the end of his discourse
closing with climax; the skillful
newspaper reporter puts his climax in
to his first sentence and ends with the
most nonessential detail. While the
novelist secures his dramatic effect by
keeping the secret of his story hidden
as long as possible, the reporter attains
success by revealing his secret as
quickly as words will let him. Both
