Matter of transportation.

Another strong point favoring this d.
vision is found in the matter Of transporta-
ton with regard to litigants. The state
OF Nebraska is about 200 miles wide and
400 miles long. At the present time per-
sons with business in the United States
district court are obliged. II they live in
the extreme western part, to travel hun
dreds Of miles In order to reach the tribunal
wherein they are to appear. Such travel
involves heavy, and not to say. needless
expenses. With the state divided and with
places for holding sessions of the two
courts properly distributed over the same
this question of expensive travel would
in a way be solved.

confined to a crater, so called. about

of gold extend from grass roots down

First Effort Of Miles scroegIns.

First Effort Of Miles Scroggins.
During the campaign of 1899 there
was formed in Western Kentucky a
Republican club, among whose mem
bers was a man with the euphonious
name of Miles Scroggins. He was more
than 50 years of age, noted for his droll
wit and funny sayings. but had never
attempted to make a speech. All the
members of the club believed he could
speak if he would try, and frequently
attempted to have him make the ef-
fort. -.
II was finally determined to compel
him to speak. So. upon the assembling
of the club, he was called upon and,
declining to comply, the boys grabbed
him and forcibly placed him upon ia
Bile, amidst the cheers of the crowd. To
the establishment of all he manifested
great embarrassment. The crowd con-
tinued to yell, and finally he broke
forth as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Oh, / beg
your pardon, there are no ladies pres
ent and id few gentlemen, II any.
After this sally the curiosity OF the
crowd was satisfied, and no further eff
fort was made to have Scroggins make
a speech.

Lie Saved RY a sIIk Hat.

At the conclusion of the civil war 1t
was quite dangerous to travel through
many localities in Kentucky as they
were infested with robbers. Spencer
G. Dabney tells of how his lie was
saved by his nigh silk hat.
Passing along the road, with dense
wood on either side, he overheard hu-
man voices. He refined up his horse and
heard q man say:
1--WE ought to kill him, just look at
that hat; don't you know he has mon
ey?" This caused Mr.. Dabney great
perturbation, but another robber, evil
IDENTITY in command, said:
"Oh, hi, let him alone, he hasn't
dollar. He invested every cent he had
in that hat"
The words of the last speaker seemed
to be final. The traveller was not mo-
Tested and he always felt that he owed
his life on that occasion to the fact
that he wore a silk hat.
