THOMAS HOWARD.

Nj. Howard, Of Lindsay, republican
candidate for county clerk, is gaining
votes every day, and the chances for his
election are good. Those who know him
are convinced that he is the man for the
Office, and to those who do not know
him, We ask that you read the following
sketch OF his life and consider If he Is
not worthy your suffrage.
Mr.. Howard was born May 8, 1913, in
Athens county, Ohio. At the age Of
fifteen years, in July, 1863, he enlisted
in the 63d Ohio infantry, and served his
country we'll as a soldier to the end Of
the civil wal.
In 1866 he crossed tho "plains," going
to Colorado where for twenty-five years
he engaged in mining.
Mr.. Howard came to Platte county in
1883 and settled on his farm one mile
south Of Lindsay where he still resides
Besides conducting his farm he is engag.
ed in the buying and selling Of grain
He is q man OF good common school
education, and has an abundance Of
good practical knowledge Of business
and farming, which n necessary ad.
juncts for q county official.
Mr.. Howard is q temperate man in hif
habits, but not a prohibitionist. Hi
friends say of him that he "attends t.
his own business, and is q modest man
in his actions and living"
A man Of Mr.. Howard's type makes az
excellent officer and you will do we'll t.
use your influence in his behalf.

In all probability the question wheth-
or the regents Of the state university
should furnish text books to the stu
dents of that institution at cost, will be
injected into tho campaign and the can
didates for the regency will be given an
opportunity to state their position, says
the Omaha Bee. The parents of the
students are deeply interested in the
matter, and as it is too late for the
present regents to do anything this
term, it is more than likely the candi-
dates will be called, upon to tell what
they intend to do about it il elected.

tain q provision that the regents of the

cost. II no appropriation has been
made for them to do this, and they
should attempt to use the temporary
university fund, then Of course the mat
ter would be up to the auditor to say
whether he would issue the warrants.
II such . plan on the part Of the regents
would be for the best interests OF the
students and it could be legally done,
then OF course l would be in favor OF
the regents furnishing the books How

WHAT is STEEL2
A Question Which Seems to Be Difficult
to Answer.


What is steel? Apparently this Is
about as difficult a question as "What
is electrcity?" The exact behavior
and methods of producing both are
well known, but when it comes to
defining either, even the expert is nom
plussed, Recently suit was brought
in Sheffield by the Cutters Company,
against a manufacturer Of forks be-
cause he stamped certain malleable
cast iron forks with the name steel.
The defendant obtained a decision in
his favor, and as result the entire
metallurgical profession Of Sheffield,
the centre and home of the steel in
dustry in England, is up in arms. 1t
is now proposed to establish commits
sion of experts, under the auspices of
the Sheffield Society of Engineers and
Metallurgists, to agree upon classfi-
cation of what is and what is not steel,
and to get the recommendations of the
commission embodied in an act of Par
lament. There are four methods Of
determining the nature Of iron pro-
duets, viz: Chemical, mechanical,
physical and microscopical and yet no
one of them is absolutely capable of
absolutely determining true steA from
its fraudulent limitations. Chemical
ANALYSIS up to It certain point is relia.
bic, but the chemical composition of
steel and malleable cast iron overlap.
Mechanical tests also fail, as the ten
sile strength of certain steels and some
varieties of malleable cast iron are
eXactaly similar. Physical classifica'
ton is also impossible, as certain vari-
cites of malleable cast iron harden.
temper and let down" just like steel.
Neither is microscopic classification in
fallible, as certain malleable castings
are identical in appearance with Ger.
tain steels.
Apparently the only satisfactory def
milton of steel must be based on the
process observed in the manufacture,
and it is suggested that the use of the
word "steel" be confined to such mate.
rial as was cast in q fluid condition
into an ingot, and such ingot after
wards forged or rolled into slabs, bars,
plates, sheets or blooms or other fin
ished sections. Probably no more in
teresting technical point in the Sheffield
trade has arisen in the last sixty years
than the apparently simple question Of
"What is steel?'

To the mind Of the general reader
the term Aztec conveys the idea of a
more or less misty, extinct greatness; !;
the idea of a great body of aboriginal
Americans of mysterious origin, who
at the time of the advent of the Span
ish had reached the acme of power and
native civilization, and then uneXplain-
edly very rapidly and completely van
? ished.
These problems-namely, the origin
or derivation, the physical type and
physical destiny Of the Aztecs, to clear
which history alone proves insufficient
have been and remain prominently
the subjects of anthropological inves
tigation; and through these investiga.
tons, in which the aflthropological de.
partment of the American Museum of
an important part, enough has already
been achieved to warrant the hope that
in not very far future but little con-
cerning the Aztecs will be left in oh.
scurity. One result of these investiga-
tions is the knowledge that the AZtecs
of the time OF the conquest are still
represented by numerous pure-blood
survivors.
They are scattered, but still clearly
recognizable by student of the people
in the suburbs of the city and in prac-
tically all the smaller towns in the Val
ley OF Mexico. From the valley they
can be traced southwark; they are nu-
merous in the districts OF Amecameca,
and they occupy, though probably
largely mixed with the Nahuan branch
of Tlahutecs, entire villages near and
in the mountainous country between
Cuautla and Cuernavaca, in the State
Of Morelos. In this last-named region
there are in particular two large viii
lagos, Tetelcingo and Cuautepec, in
which the AztecNahuan descendants
not only speak the pure Aztec language
and know but little Spanish, but they
also preserve their ancient dress and
ancient way of building their dwell
ings. In both of these villages the na-
tives are almost free from mixture
with whites.
To estimate the number of pure-b blood
Aztec-Nahuan descendants still in ex-
istcnce is very difficult. The Aztec
language is still used by at least a mill.
ion, probably more, of the natives of

Handiwork of Long Ago.

Quilting, the handiwork and the
fancy work of our great-grandmam-
mas and great-grandaunts, is once
more being shown on the costumes of
fashionably attired maids and ma
irons.
But it is to be doubted if the beau.
ties of to-day are following in the foot
steps of their feminine ancestors and
creating the exquisite needlework that
is appearing ON their smart coats and
gowns.
Satin. petticoats that peep out from
underneath handsome gowns are pro-
fusely decorated with this work Of
long ago, and so are sleeves and many
of the long cloaks have thickly quilted
Innings.
Quilting once having been brought
to the front as style means that We
shall soon be having counterpanes and
bedspreads with the bewltching work
upon them of our forefathers. Quilt
ing does not mean mere running in
and out of needle and thread. No,
indeed, it is of much more complicated
affair, and in the olden times it meant
punches and garlands of flowers and
animals and birds being worked upon
bed covering.

'PhNslcinns, Woes.

A Western contemporary advocates
n general agreement on the part of
physicians to raise their fees in ac-
cordance with the enchanced prices Of
the necessaries of life which have OBJ
tained in recent years. With some
conditions and limitations We heartily
vote aye to this resolution. The first
condition would be that the fees Of the
physician are those that should be
raised-the physician, we mean, as
distinguished from the surgeon and
the specialist. The internists, the gen.
eral or family physicians. constitute
the most important but the most ne
elected class of the profession. We
have conspired with the thoughtless
and merchandising public to give
all the honor and all the profits also
to the surgeons and specialists. If
the profession is to make any common
stand for better wages it must be for
the sake of the general physician,
His work is worth just as much az
that of the operator, but he does not
receive one-tenth. and in many cases
not one -hundredth as much. We do
not say that the specialist and surgeon
receive too much; we urge only that
it is the duty of the specialist and
surgeon to help raise the standard of
fees for his colleague. In the second
place. the movement to increase the
fee should at first chiefly consider the
country physician. as distinguished
from the city man. Either because
the number of cases is greater or other
means of livelihood are obtainable the
city physician does not suffer from
low and uncollectible fees. as does his
country brother. The newly aroused
professional consciousness must show
conscientiousness and the love of just
ice, or it will not endure.-American
Medicine

A Fur and an limitations

ANY woman consumed with de.
sire to shine in the most picturesque
OF picture hats will never find anything
more strikingly beautiful than this
large faring chapeau covered all over
and faced with cream white silk plush
woven to initiate krimmer. limitations
of furs are, as a rule. very inferior
effects, which would never deceive the
most Impractical eye. Even this silk
plush does not look so much like
krimmer, but in this case that is re-
deeming quality, for it is much more
lovely than krimmer, which is not al
ways pretty. Indeed, the plush is
richness itself. Oddly enough. the sole
trimming of this splendid affair is a
real Siberian sable. The beautiful ami
NAL, or rather its coat, is sprawled
across the top of the hat, its tail and
one leg being drawn under the faring
left brim quite as if it were plume.
1t sounds barbaric, but in reality it's
the most admirable of the more stun.
ming hats.
