The work was disagreeable. however. as the

NEBRASKANS APPEAR WELL
Governors Uniformed stan Attracts
Attention at the kansas
City Charity Ball.

KANSAS CITY, April 3.--CSpecial Tele-
gram.l-Governor e. p. Savage and his en-
tire stan arrived in the city last nigh to
attend the knights Templar charity ball
tonight. They are at the Hotel r. itimOre.
The governor OF Nebraska met the governor
of Missouri in the lobby Of the hotel this
morning, but they did not remember what
the governor OF North Carolina said to the
governor Of South Carolina.
Hello, Savage" said the governor Of
Missouri.
Hello Dockery," said the governor Of
Nebraska.
After that short greeting the governors
separated
The men Of Governor Savage's staff are
dressed in the uniforms Of the Nebraska
National guard, and were much in evidence
at the Hotel Baltimore this morning with
their military uniforms. The smart APP
pearance Of the stan OF the governor OF
Nebraska presented a striking contrast to
the showing made by the men attending
the governor of Missouri.
Governor Savage was free to say he would
be a candidate for reelection. "A howl
was raised when / pardoned Joseph Bart
ley, who was serving a sentence In the
penitentiary for embezzling funds while he
age, but think a reaction has set in that
indorses my action. Anyhow, will make
the race again.

They have plenty of money and are con-
tented. Nebraska will go republican this
year by an increased majority. In times
such as these, the people Of our state vote

"As an evidence Of the prosperity OF our

bought on long time and the interest Is
only per cent a year. Despite this fact
the people are paying for 1t from three to

Governor and Mrs. Savage were the
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. e. o. Moffatt at
dinner in their handsome home at 29Oo

NOT YET READY FOR DEATH
Ex-Captain Carter at LeavenwOrth
Wants 10 Arrange Business
Before He Goes.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, April S.-oberlin
NJ Carter, ex-captaln OF engineers in the
United States army, is seriously and prob
ably fatally III in the federal penitentiary
at Fort Leavenworth. He has typhoid
fever, and this evening his temperature
was 1864.
Carter's only fear is that he will die
before his affairs are arranged. He sent
an urgent telegram to his attorney. Mr..
Stone of Chicago, asking him to come at
once.
There is a suit now pending wherein this
government is trying to obtain possession
of Carter's property, claiming 1t is part
OF the booty he secured while In charge
of government contract work at Savannah.
Ga. This will really amount to civil
trial, the thing Carter has made repeated
but vain efforts to secure. Carter says he
wants Attorney Stone here so he can finish
preparing the brief. Then Carter says the
hght for the vindication can be carried
on after his death should his illness prove
fatal. Carter's relatives and the attorney
probably will arrive tomorrow.

How He Announced 1t.

There was a minister In little Ne
braska town who had two matters
which were very close to his heart. He
had prayed long and earnestly that the
mortgage of the church might be paid
Off and that he might have a son and
heir. Not long ago boy came to
gladden. his heart and home, and on the
same day the rich man of the village
died. leaving $1,000 with which to pay
off the church debt.
The town was wild with excitement
over the double event, and bets were
freely made as to which subject was
closest to the minister's heart and
which he would refer to first in his ser
mon on the following Sunday. The
eventful day arrived, and excitement
ran high. There was an expectant
hush when the minister entered the
pulpit.
MY friends" he said, "you know
what has been close to my heart for
many years, and you know of the joy
full happenings of the past week; and
now, my friends, want you to join
with me in thanking God for the sue
cor that has been sent u.s."
And then all bets were off.

How Some Cheese Is Made.

Roquefort cheese, like many other
unique food productions, has its legend of
accidental origin says Nary. Lincoln In
the American Kitchen Magazine "A
shepherd lad, having for once more lunch
con than he could eat, while tending his
flock of sheep, laid large portion of his
bread and cheese upon natural shelf in
one OF the caverns near by. Boylike. he
forgot all about it. until several months
later, on returning to that cavern, he found
his luncheon. The cheese, nstead of be-
irg dried up or rotten, was rich, moist and
creamy. and streakei with greenish blue
veins Of mould. the remains of The bread
which had lain on or under it. He 10

aud shared his piece of cheese with others.
The villagers were quick to recognize the
improved texture and quality Of the cheese,
and henceforth all their cheeses were
taken to these caves to ripen The caves
are owned by joint stock compan !, who
employ about six hundred women to tend
the cheese Oak shelves on which the
cheeses are placed, and so arranged that
each cheese may have one side next the

There is an idea that the brilliantly
colored parrots do not talk. There is
no reason why they should not and
many possess the initiative instinct.
One of the most richly colored Of all is
the purple capped lory, from the Mo-
luccas. Its whole body is crimson and
rose, its wings are green and its crest is
purple 1t is thickset bird, like big
bulfinch. and can be highly educated
1t is tame and gentle, an excellent
"linguist" and mimic, never shrieks
and is very amiable. 1t is also a ven
triloquist.
1t is worth noting that some Of the
tories. which are very fond of flowers
have been poisoned by being given Ia
burnum blossoms. There is a belief
that parrots should not be allowed wa.
ter to drink, but only sopped food. We
believe that this is a mistake which
causes them great misery. They are
not great water drinkers. and some
species can go without it for n consd-
cradle time: but in their native state
most of those that have been observed
come regularly to the water holes to
drink

Many people think that physical
culture" means to don gymnasium
suit and go through few calisthenics.
1t means so much more than that 1t
means the science of living-how to be
strong mentally, morally and physical
ly; how to make the most of ones life,
to know what to eat; how to take care
of the body; how to exercise; how to
rest. 1t is learning to control ones
nerves. The game of basket ball, com
bining, as it does, the exercise Of both
the mental and physical powers, found
instant recognition among the directors
of the physical training schools for
women. and it may be said to mark
the Introduction of the true athletic
spirit in womens colleges. Basket ball
supplies long felt want and combines
the beneficial results obtained from the
rope bar, running, jumping and other
gymnasium exercises and has the ad-
ditional interest and spirit Of competi-
tive sport.

A prominent feature in Faraday's
character was his absolute love of sci
ence for his own sake. He freely gave
his discoveries to his world when he
could easily have built up a colossal
fortune upon them. He once told his
friend. Professor Tyndall, that at a
certain period of his career he had def
nitely to ask himself whether he should
make wealth or science the object of
his life. He could not serve both mas
tiers and was therefore compelled to
choose between them. When preparing
his well known memoir of the great
master. the professor called to mind
this conversation and asked leave to
examine his accounts. and this is the
conclusion the professor arrived at:
Taking the duration of his life into
account, this son of blacksmith and
apprentice to a bookbinder had to de-
eide between fortune of f150,000 on
the one side and his unendowed science
on the other. He chose the latter and
died a poor man. But his was the
glory of holding aloft among the ma
lions the scientific name of England
for a period of forty years.
