ONAHANS HOSTILE TO BILL
Local Lawyers Against Burkett's Plan for
New Judicial District.
DIVIDED IN OPINION AS TO MUNGER
Nsny Thipk Meeting f. Called "a
Defest Him for JudRerhiP
shouId 81 BE Created
by Congress.

There appears 10 be a division Of senti-
mcnt among Omaha lawyers as to whether
the meeting Of attorneys called TO assemble
in Lincoln March Is an act Of hostility
to the candidacy of Tom Munger Of 1dn-
coin for @the new iudgeship to be created
by Senator Burketts bill. or whether the
meeting il in his interest 1t seems to be
generally conseded that Omaha lawyers are
opposed TO the bill. which provides for the
divsion OF the state into a north and south
federal district. 1t is said a number of
lawyers will 20 to Lincoln to attend the
meeting as they can do this and attend
the session Of tho supreme court at the
same time,
1T seenfs TO be the general understand
ing here.r said Lee Herdman, "that the
meeting IS called for the purpose Of pre-
venting the appointment of Munger. II is
conceded that as Munger is close friend
Of Burkstt he will get the appointment If
the bill PASSES. unless some action Of this
kind is taken. II is a desirable position,
and good many attorneys do not like to
see it go to Munger without fight. How
ever Il Is probable VI the Lincoln meeting
indorses the bill, the North Platte attor-
neys will not take a very active part in
indorsinE man for the judgeshp but will
leave that TO the lawyers of the territory
concerned
Hostile to the BiII.
THE lawyers here are generally hostile
to the bill They do not see the necessity
for another district and do not believe the
business done By tho court warrants it..
over the state there is difference of
opinion as TO the manner in which the
state should he divided. even among those
who favor a division at all"
1T looks to me as II the meeting was a
move in favor of Munger said Frank
Woodland. THE Lincoln lawyers are IA
vorable to him, and It is probable they will
he able to dominate the meeting. If it
were 10 be held somewhere else than in
Lincoln il would look as though IL might
be "A move against Munger. There is con-
siderable opposition to Burketts bill in
the western part of the state. out there
they would like to have the state divided
north and south. the western division in
GLIDING about two-thirds of the state.
They are looking to Omaha lawyers for aid
IN opposing the bill. but I doubt IL the
lawyers here will take very active part"
w J. Council said he did not think
Omaha attorneys were taking much inter-
est In the bill and he thought few of them
would attend the Lincoln meeting.

The late well known archaeologist,

noned against an old gentleman. After
mutual apologies cards were exchang-
ed. On each card was printed, ''AIr

dying, left his fortune to the other Al

The planet Neptune, which had for
countless ages revolved in the heavens
unseen by any one on earth. was dis

Some years ago shepherd boy

markable result: Number Of males over
twenty-one years of age, 14S; number
of males under twenty-one years of

When Washington made his tour OF
New England In 1880 he was the guest
Of his friend. Oliver Ellsworth, at
Windsor, Conn. ElIsworth's biogra-
pher, William CARROT Brown, men
tons that visit as "the greatest hour
In the history Of Windsor and Of the
Ellsworth family"
Washington wrote in his diary on
Oct. n, 1879: By promise was to have
breakfasted at Afr. Ellswortii's at
Windsor on the way to Springfield;
but. the morning proving very wet and
the rain not ceasIng until 10 o'clock, /
did not set out till half after that hour
/ called, however. on Mr.. 4. and stayed
there near an hour"
Tradition has generously heightened
out and embelIIshed with incidents OF
an old fashioned patriotic flavor the
single hour OF Washington at Elm
wood There Is the story Of the errand
Of one Of Ellsworth's young sons to
the Wadswortil mansion at Hartford
to present the invitation, OF his trepIda-
ton at the thought Of facing the great
est man in the world and OF his sur
prise, relief and disappointment to find
only a quiet old gentleman dressed
very much like his father.
There is also the story of Washing
toms taking on his knees the young
est twain of the Ellsworth chlIdre
and singing them the ballad Of the
Derby ram.
The homes Washington then visited
were thenceforth forever distinguish
ed, and many New England house

That there are many instances In
England OF two or more towns enjoy
Ing the same name Is a fact that no
body can we'll help knowing but prob
ably few people are aware OF the very
wide extent to which this duplication
Of names prevails. Newton seems to
hold the same rank among places as
Smith among individuals. no fewer
than seventy-two towns and villages
in England alone bearing this name.
BY including the Newtowns. obviously
the same name with a slight difference
IN spelling. the total Is raised to little
short Of ninety. As every town must
have been new town" at some time or
other II shows great lack Of inventive
genius among our ancestors who had
the naming OF the towns. There are
slxty-elght places named Sutton. Our
ancestors seem to have found the four
points OK the compass Of great service
In the nomenclature OF their towns, for
besides the Suttons there are fifty-one
Westons, forty-nine Nortons and seven
teen Eastons. To these last should be
added thirty-eight Astons. another form
Of the name very common in the west
OF England.-I.ondon Chronicle.

NATURES POlSONS.
The Part They Have Performed In
CiviIfxfng the World.


Poison" as a single word of the
English language. carries with it more
instructive warning and repugnance
than invest any other word in the
glossary of English speech. Whether
spoken or written the word at once
challenges the atten.e and the mag
nation to horror or evil. There are
only three poisonous serpents In the
geography of North America, yet be-
cause of these three varieties alone
the whole reptilian family is condemn
ed to death at sight
And yet, strangely anomalous as it
may appear. the existence of active
poisons in the animal, vegetable and
mineral Kingdoms OF nature has done
more for the development of modern
civilized man than have all the other
innocuous elemental things which abo-
riginal man found to his hand. These
active poisons were mans first slim
ulus to thought. Even in the fgura-
tive Eden there was one fruit of which
man might not eat. ssWhy not?" was
his first question, and the only rational
answer was for him to eat and see.
Waving aside this literal Eden as
apochryphal and metaphorical, the
aboriginal man was confronted by the
same literal condition as to the things
which he should not eat or touch or
smell. His environment was that of
the torrid zone. Nakedness was his
condition. Exposure to the yenoms
and animal. plant and mineral life was
a consequence against which only a
quickened intelligence could insure i'm
munity. The fruit of one plant he dis
covered to be life; the touch Of another
was death. He could avoid the giant
carniyora of the jungle which would
have searched him out with tooth and
claw, but he had little resource against
the creeping, crawling things whose
fangs and stings meant convulsive suf-
fering, horrors and death to his kind
He knew the sweet waters of the hills,
but must learn to guard against the
brackish, excoriating waters of the des-
erts. "Why?" because in this manner
his first voiceless question and the
stimulus of the interrogation were the
making of the civilized man.-Tech-

"As dead rs a doornair' at first

lively and picturesque when we re-
member that knockers Were once uni
versally used. Beneath the knocker, in
order to prevent disfgurlng the door, a
large nail or bolt was driven. An inn

be opened, would frequently use the
