NATURE VS. ART IN HOSIERY
Columbus Correspondent supports
the ~PrOpositiOn Made By =
Genoa Girl.

COLUMBUS, Neb., April 20.-To the
Editor Of The Bee: In reading yesterdays
Bee my eye caught that Genoa girls note
to the Lincoln city clerk regarding the ex-
hibition of ladies' hosiery by means of
Imitation legs" Evidently the writer Of
that note is a sample Of the 'propriety and
modesty produced In Columbus western
neighbor.
I quite agree with the young lady about
the adjustment OF those limitations" in
Lincoln, especially during the weeks the
legislature is in session, for then the cap
itaI has all the limitations It can stand.
But II those limitation legs" were kept out
Of the windows, as the fair creature from
Genoa suggests, how In the world would
storekeepers be able to httingiy exhibit
those wonderful creations Of art and handi-
work-the ladies' stockings2 can think
Of only one way-substitute for the "imi-
tations" the real thing. There can be no
question that such a combination Of art
and nature would attract attention-far
more attention than those wooden shams
now employed. ! am sure that the sub
Btitution Of the real for the artificial
thing, would make a hit as an advertise
ment. II any Lincoln hose seller wants
to change the factory distortions for the
ones produced by nature. l am sure Ne
braska has plenty OF the article Of the re-
quisite size and shape to more faithfully
SHOW Of stockings and the frills on them"
than those "horrid things" the Genoa dam
sci ~denOunces Should Lincoln dry goods
dealers start a voting contest to ascertain
what the public sentiment is as to a
change from those Imitation legs" to the
kind l suggest. I will cast my ballot early
and often for the real thing.
Anyway. l agree with the Genoa girl.
They ought 10 DE ''some laws to keep
those Imitation legs out OF the windows,
even though real ones can not be procured.
The ''imitatlons"-Well. Of course, its a
shame. By all means abolish the 'Imita-
tions." Yours truly.

EXTENDING THE SHORT LINE
Great Northern Surveyors Looking
Over Field Southwest of
O'NeiL.

o'NEILL, Neb., April 20.-(special.)-The
appearance in o'Neill on Saturday of last
week of the right-of-way man for the Great
Northern railroad and the fact that he
made a trip over the proposed link between
here and Dunning on the Burlington, has
created new interest in the proposed extern
sion. A prominent Sioux City business man
came here with him and remained in O'NeiIl
while he drove over the preliminary survey
that had been made years ago by the Og-
den Short Line people. The business man,
for obvious reasons, did not wish his. name
made public. but he stated positively that
the road would be extended southwest from
o'Neill to connect with the Burlington at
Dunning this year. He stated that the
amount OF SIS, OoO, 900 had been already sub
scribed for the purpose Of building two
links in Nebraska between the Great North
ern and Burlington systems. He. stated
that Sioux City people were very much in
terested in the proposed extension from
o'Neill. as it would add a new field to their
industries. He was told that the merger
litigation would not in the least interfere
with the proposed extensions in Nebraska.
The right-of-way man stated that within
the next thirty days a corps of surveyors
would be on the ground and make the nee
essary survey and before snow-hy through
trains would be running from st. Paul.

his purpose doubtless being to queer his

Some United States prisoners who are in
the county jail in this city awaiting trial

Of mind Of Deputy Sheriff Crooks. Charles
Marshall, a Mexican gambler, who makes
his headquarters at Geddes, who was con-
victed in the United States court & few
days ago Of selling liquor to Indians and IL
awaiting sentence, attempted to throw q
handful Of red pepper into Deputy Sheriff
Crooks face and eyes while that oficer had
the cell door open a short distance for the
purpose of taking from the hands Of the
Mexican a large dish which had contained
food for himself and other prisoners.
Crooks, however, had been suspicious Of the
Mexican and shut his eyes In time to pre-
vent being blinded by the pepper. With
rare presence OF mind, while his eyes were
still closed he, after a desperate struggle
with the prisoner, swung the cell door shut
thus frustrating what was without doubt
a carefully planned Jail delivery. The ring
