Scjons for Grating.

In cutting scions for grating the
coming spring, the growth of 1905
should be used, as it is difficult to get
older wood to unite with the stAk.
The following is one of the best re-
cipes for grating wax:-Resin, a
parts, by weight; beeswax, parts;
tallow, / part. Melt together, and
pour into a pail of cold water. Then
grease the hands and pull the wax
until il is nearly white. This is one
of the best wakes for either indoor
or outdoor use. This should be heated
before using If too hard.

First knowledge of Galvanism.

Galvani, a natural philosopher of
Italy, was dissecting dead frog one
day while a pupil was making expert
ments in electricity by his side. He
observed that the muscles of the frog,
being exposed, gave signs of motion
whenever the nerves came in contact
with the scalpel. Galvani discovered
the existence of new principle in
this phenomenon. and originated the
fertile branch of physics known by
the name of galvanism.

Wind Power for Saving Lumber.

Could | get wind power strong
enough to work a circular saw in the
cutting of logs into planks. 2. Is it
practicable to cut down trees in the
summer and saw them Immediately
into planks? Would the planks be
more liable to warp or crock than II
the trees were cut during the winter!
/. Power derived from a windmill
is not sufficiently continuous to be de-
pended upon for running a lumber
cutting saw mill. A gasoline engine
would answer much better and re-
uuire very little attention when run
ming.
9. Lumber cut in summer from new
ly fallen living trees would not be
more liable to check or warp than II
sawed equally green during the winter
for the reason that the water content
of the trees is almost the same in
summer as in winter, and besides the
varying and cracking is more depend
ent upon the structure and density OF
the wood, which characters do mol
vary with the season, than upon the
water content, since that part or the
water content which would vary Is
free" in the cavities Of the wood.

Servant girls were also paid to take

PRESIDENT REMOVES BAXTER.

Attorney for Nebraska.

Axe Falls on United States District
Attorney for Nebraska.
Washington, Dec. 26.-Presiden
Roosevelt has removed District Attor-
ney Baxter of Nebraska and Senators
Willard and Burkett will be notified
at once OF the vacancy.
District Attorney Baxter on advice
of his friends, refused to resign. 1t is
understood Mr.. Baxter, in reply to the
request of the attorney general for
his resignation, wrote that official that
he declines to resign, as it would be
an admission on his part that the pros
ecution OF Richards and Comstock was
a farce. This, he says, was not the
case, and having the consciousness Of
having done his full duty while dis
trict attorney, leaves the matter with
the president.
Just when the successor to Baxter
will be named is problematical. Sen
ator Willard leaves for Nebraska on
Thursday to remain a week and he
hopes to have action on the Baxter
succession postponed until his return
to Washington.
Senator Burkett, ever since Bax-
ter's requested resignation was made
public, has quietly insisted that the
new district attorney should come
from the South Platte. 1t is now
thought that Senator Willard has
pledged his support to the creation of
a new federal district in the South
Platte. which will give Senator Bur-
kett the right to name an entire new
force, United States district judge,
district attorney and marshal, and
with this understanding Burkett has
tacitly agreed that Senator Willard
shall name Bakers successor who
will be an Omaha man.

Entry Cases.

Omaha. Dec. 26.-Within thirty
days after the district attorneys Of
flee has been filled it is highly proba
BILE that special federal grand jury
will be summoned. This will be made
necessary by the work accomplished
by the twenty-five special agents who
have been busy during the past six
months in collecting evidence in hun
dreds of fraudulent homestead entry
cases. These officers of the govern
ment have been under the direction of
Special Agent Pollock, and in addi-
ton to his force OF men, about ten Sc
cret service agents have been en-
ployed to ferret out the most fragrant
| offenses in the way of subornation of
perjury, tampering with government
witnesses and conspiracy.
All the evidence in the George G..
Ware case in regard to the fraudulent
entries is in readiness to be submitted
to jury. The trial is set for JAM 3.
spiracy in securing unlawful filings for
the u. B. l. ranch in Hooker county,
a cattle company, which is alleged to
have 111,000 acres of government land
inclosed. Frank Lambert and Harry
Welsh are to be tried jointly with
Ware.
In each of the Nebraska land dis
triets the special agents have uncov-
cred many fraudulent entries which
will be presented to the special grand
jury as soon os it is summoned. The
