which it recently held valid. This law
provides a certain per cent of estates

the county judge refused to appoint
appraisers to pass upon the estates and
action was begun by the county attor-

Fruit Prospects in Richardson.

Opinions seem to be changing as re-
CARDS the fruit prospect in the vicinity
of Humboldt, and the latest report
comes from OF Little, who is recog-
nized expert in horticultural matters.
He says that after a careful invest:-
cation among the small orchards OF
the city he finds a certain portion,
ranging from twenty to forty per cent
of the buds are yet in healthy con-
dition, and he therefore predicts a fair
sized yield with the quality under con-
tinued favorable conditions much bet
ter than could be expected if the crop
were full. Other fruit buds are all in
good shape and indications point to an
unusually large yield.

DECLARES ASSOCIATION IS A TRUST

The supreme court of Nebraska, on
application of Attorney General Brown,
has issued a temporary restraining
order against the Nebraska Lumber
mems association. Conspiracy in re-
straint Of trade, pooling on prices and
the charging of exorbitant prices for
lumber and building material is alleged
by the attorney general. Nearly 400 of
the principal lumber firms of the state,
comprising members of the state asso-
citation, are made defendants.
The restraining order was issued by
with other judges of the court. Under
the rules of the court May Is is return
day and May % is the day set for an
swer by the defendants.
Secretary Bird Critchfield Of Lincoln
and the other officers of the association
are enjoined from concealing or de-
stroying the records of the organiZa-
ton and all the members are restrained
lumber and building material will be

was declared by the supreme court of
Nebraska several years ago to be an
unlawful organization. This decision
was given in a suit involving damages
alleged to have been sustained by a
retail dealer who asserted that the as
ISOLATION had injured his business.
Later the association reorganized and
adopted articles of association in which
any intent to restrain trade was
specifically denied. Notwithstanding
this denial, the attorney general as
serts that the Interpretation of the new
articles of the association and their
enforcement by the members of the as

which controls prices to the great in

BY their hair We shall know them. It
seems that our histories are written in
our hair. The Japanese scientist, Mat
.sura, has been studying the variations
in the thickness of the hair. 1t is
known that in certain diseases, among
other differences in growth, are found
marked variations in the length and
thickness of the finger nails. Now it ap-
pears that the hair also is Influenced,
and all the affections which act upon
the general health bring about a diminu-
ton in the thickness of the hair. The
medullary layer may even be interrupt
ed, and the hard layer which it contains
may disappear. Observations made
upon a hair will therefore show tho
variations in thickness according TO
certain maladies, and the length of the
affected part of the thinner portion Of
the hair gives an idea of the duration
Of the malady, and even Of slighter at
fections. The variations are naturally
more strongly marked in the case OF
coarse-haired races than others. Pro-
vided the hair had never been cut, the
man would have his pathological his
tory written in capillary terms.

STUDY OF: THEATER FIRES 1
Experiments in Vienna. Indicate That
.'Fireproof'' Curtains Are No u
Protection, IS '

: Whoever imagines that the famous
iron curtains in theaters, which are
lowered and raised with such solem-
nifty at stated times and are made
the subject of all kinds of municipal
regulations, are any real protection
against fire, would do WE'LL says the
Grand Magazine, to- study the ac-
count of certain experiments recent
ly carried out in Vienna.
A. theater was constructed in, the
must. approved modern fashion, the au-
ditorium furnished with the usual gal
leries and pit and the stage with
scenery. Lamps of every SYSTEM elec-
trio, gas and oil-were placed in great
numbers and in the walls certain spy
holes were provided through which the
commission of engineers and architects
who were conducting the experiments
might see what went on within the
building. q.
In the first experiment fire was
lighted on the stage and the ordinary
curtain dropped, the ventilators in the
auditorium being open and those on
the stage closed. After the lapse Of a
minute or two the observers saw the
curtain bulge out toward the audito-
rum, allowing the flames and smoke
to rush forth at the bottom with such
volume that the entire theater was en-
velOped in an instant. - a.
The gas lamps were extinguisned
Immediately and were soon followed by
the disappearance of the oil lights AS
for the electric. lamps, though they did
not go out at once, they became quite
invisible by reason of the dense smoke.
In quarter of an hour temperature
of 720 degrees Fahrenheit was regis
tered in the theater.
Next time the same experiment was
repeated under identical conditions ex-
cept that on this occasion the iron
curtain was lowered. Its protective
powers, however, proved quite 1llu-
sorry.
The flames burst forth into the au-
ditorium with greater violence, if pos
sible, than before; the thermometer
registered a temperature bordering
upon that OF the electric oven, and an
analysis of the air disclosed the fact
that it contained more than eight per
cent. of the deadly carbonic oxide gas
that is to say, far more than sufi-
Gent to asphyxiate whoever had not
been burned to death
A third experiment showed that the
audience can only hope to escape if
the actors consent to sacrifice them
selves, which they can hardly be ex-
pected to do. 1t was found that if
the stage was set on fire and both
curtains kept up the ventilators on the
stage being open and those in the au-
ditorium quite closed, the stage be-
came transformed into a chimney as it
were, while the auditorium remained
intact, as the flames and smoke were
carried away from it.

MONEY PILES UP RAPIDLY.
Request Of Benjamin Franklin the
Nucleus of an Immense
Fund,

A great popular industrial school,
the Franklin Union, has been estab-
lished in Boston, and a New York man,
Mr.. Bouillon, called upon to take
charge of ton the foundation of
$4,000 bequeathed by Benjamin more
than 100 years ago. Franklin, as is
at interest for a century for the bene-
fit OF the working youth of his native
city, states the New York Mail
What is the result? The managers
of the Franklin Union now have on
hand, for actual use, round million
dollars in cash, and, in addition to that
100000 in good securities, which will
accumulate interest for another nun
dred years, when it is expected to have
produced a new capital of $4,000, 900 or
$9,OOO,OOO.
To be sure, not all the millions now
on hand is the increment of Franklin S
original gift, for Mr.. Carnegie made
a generous addition to that; but the
bulk of it is from that source, and all
the 100000 now set aside in securities
is derived from Franklin's original
gift. In 200 years (Which is the length
of time that has now elapsed since
Franklin was born) his gift of $4,000
will have rolled up to about $1O,-
100000!
Where will all this have come from?
1t is a puzzling old problem, the an
swer to which may seem simple
enough to those who put money out
at interest, but which is something
of mystery. Money is the measure
of value. Value, in the last analysis,
consists of things to eat and wear
and use. Had $4,000 worth of these
things, existing when Franklin died
in 1890, actually increased to s., 600, 900
worth of them in 1890 or 1906? Had
all the rest of the good things that
were in existence in 1890 fructified in
the same proportion? And ii $780,
900 of Franklin's money in 1906 will
be 100000 OF things to eat and wear
in zoos, what will Mr.. Rockefeller's
$500, 100000 pile up to in that year? To
500, OOO, OO0, 900, which is what the whole
wealth of the United States now
increment the present entire wealth of
the United States will have piled up,
by zoos, to $4,000, OOO, 900 ,OOO-an i'm
possible figure.
The world itself would not hold that
amount of wealth. Money earns money,
but it cannot earn more than there is
the equivalent of value for.
