FROST BITES THROUGH KHAKI
CoIOred Soldiers al Fort NiObrnrR
Probably Chattering in
Rag Time.

The glistenirg teeth of about 600 colored
soldiers out at Fort Niobrara are chattering
in rag time, their spines undulate with
chills and their ample heels are threatened
with an epidemic of chilblain. For, this
week, the mercury has gone 8 degrees be-
low the freezing point at Valentine and the
tawny soldiers are in the khaki OF the
Philippines-khaki and underwear so light
and thin that a September zephyr goes
through IL as readily and easily as a tack
through a rubber tire.
The soldiers are in seven companies OF
the Twenty-hfth United States infan-
try, which arrived from ~the far cast
in August. For months they had
been in the islands, where the mean
temperature is above 20 degrees Fab
renheit. They have had since coming to
Nebraska neither a change OF uniform nor
q change OF cuticle. The War department
plans to change the former when necessary
and Providence usually changes the latter
in the course OF time. In this instance the
soldiers have become alarmed lest the
wheels OF the former turn no faster than
the mythical mills of the latter.
Their officers, when the frost struck them
the other night, realized how new were the
conditions and negotiated with Washington
at a length that made the wires hot. 1t
was u Teiei 10 hhNo sOHethlh6 ~ O'Oh
II II was nothing but a wire. Orders were
sent for coats for the backs, socks for the
feet and other garments for all intervening
territory. Until the supply is sent, khaki
and transparent underwear must remain
the garb.
There is one warming reinsurance, how
ever, in the thought that a strongbox which
an express company carried out Of Omaha
yesterday for Valentine is supposed to have
contained $42, 900 in cold; no, warm, cash
for the soldiers. Because OF the incon-
venience OF payment in the Philippines
and because OF the regiments wanderings,
some OF the men have a full years back pay
to their credit and nearly all had several
months on their tab. 1t is anticipated that
II the strongbox arrives safely today the
frigidity will be relieved with at least a
temporary warm time.

The Government to Work in Con-
Junction With Aver Lord Tie Co,
A Large Experimental Station 10 Be
Built et Carbondale, ILL.,, to Ex-
pertinent With Timbers.
WILL BE A SMALL VILLAGE

Captain Henry Baker, local agent
for the Ayer-Lord Tie Company, has
received information that the United
States government Is to establish an
experimental station at Carbonate,
ILL.,. in connection with the Aver Lord
Tie Company's large "trestment"
plant under course of construction
there.
At the big government concern ex-
periments will be conducted in the
different methods of preventing rot in
timber. The workings of the station
in connection with the largest timber
preserving plant in the world will be
watched with much interest by scient-
lists in forestry. The experiments will
be made under the supervision of DIR.
Gilbert Allemsn of the Shaw school
of botany, affiliated with Washington
university, and DIR. Herman Won
Schreck Of the bureau of forestry OF
the agricultural department.
The construction Of the vast plant
is being rapidly pushed. 1t will cover
an area of nearly $50 acres and will
have a capacity Of treating annually
over 5000, 900 ties and other timber.
The plant will be a village by itself
and equipped with all modern i'm
provements. Six large air tight cylin
ders, besides the government retort
are to be put in place. The system
now most generally used for prolong
ing the life of ties and other timber il
known as the Burnettizing system
which consists of injecting into lum
Der solution of chloride of zinc. Tn,
lumber is first steamed SO as to ooagu
late all solids in the sap. Later th,
lumber is subjected to q vacuum, al
the time keeping above tine vapoi
point, thereby eliminating from thu
wood all moisture. The timber is ther
placed on iron dummy cars and rur
into large cylinders filled with the
zinc solution, where it is subjected Il
a pressure of 100 pounds to the square
inch, filling mp the pores of the tim
Der with the solution. After treat
ment, the life of the timber is doubled
for nearly all practical purposes.

MAY Be POSTPONED
A Strong Probability That the State
Federation viii be Deferred.
II Is Desired that IT Be Held in
November, Instead Of in
September.
NO OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

II is probable that there will be a
postponement of the meeting Of the
State Federation Of Labor, set for
Monday, September 18th, in Paducah
until the following month or the mid
die Of November. No definite an
nouncement has been made of it, but
IL is practically certain that the post
ponement will take place rs detailed
above.
The reason no announcement has
been made is because il seems the
officers at Louisville cannot be heard
from. The majority of the unions
throughout the state. II is claimed, de-
sire to have the meeting held when
there will be the largest attendance.
and claim that the date now set is the
most inconvenient that could have
been selected. Most seem to favor
the week after the election.
A meeting of the executive board
will have to be held before . post
ponement can be authorized. The
members Of this board are Jas. NJ.
Gill, L. j. Kriffer, Jas. d. Wood, II.
]. Foppe, Geo. Baker. Guy Lash
brook, W. II. Young and Miss Lulu
johnson.
Announcement Of the postponement
has been expected for the past three or
four weeks, but not word has yet
been heard from the high officers.
There have been three annual con-
ventions Of the federation, the first
two in Louisville and the last one in
Lexington, when there was such a
row st one time that the convention
threatened to adjourn to some other
city. Paducah then had a good dele
CATION there, and made q fight for the
next meeting.
II won hands down, and the delega-
ties seem delighted with the prospect
of visiting Paducah, but many Of
them cannot attend at the time now
set. while it seems to be generally
agreed that q large delegation should
be secured later on.
It is expected that official announce.
ment Of board meeting to authorize
the postponement will be received
next week from Louisville, IL it is re-
ceived at all.
The officers Of the State Federation
are;
Jas. NJ. Gill, president, Louisville
