NEBRASKA CENTRAL BUILDING &
LOAN ASSOCIATION, 1909
o STREET..

Institutions that encourage thrift
and offer opportunities for saving are
of much Importance to wage earners.
Every man can save, if only little. 1t
is not necessary to have bank &C
count, but some form of continuous
saving is imperative. The Nebraska
Central Building & Loan Association
fills this need. The Office of this COM
pany is located at 1909 o Street. This
association is recognized by men OF
finance in Lincoln as operating with
most liberal concessions and its sta
bility is universally recognized. We
urge a better and more direct affilia-
ton with this institution. When young
men and women determine to capital
ize the premium Of their earning
capacity, they are face to face with
the question: (which is the best in
vestment?" The investment is that
which gives you absolutely good Sc
curity for the money which you in
vest, together with fair profit on the
amount invested The result of CO.
operation is demonstrated in the Ne
braska Central Building & Loan Asso-
citation. 1t has no equal, and it is we'll
for the thrifty persons OF every COM
munity to be thoroughly familiar with
this saving institution, which has held
true to it's details, eliminating all spec
ulative features, and which stand to-
day fully deserving of the confidence
and trust the people have given it.
Ii you are thinking of building a
house. and tired of paying rent, give
this association call and they will
be glad to talk the matter over with
you.

GHOSTHAUNTSROAD
MERRYMAkERS DISTURBED BY
NcoNsIDERATEs SPIRIT.
Apparition Wandering on Highway Be-
tween Butte and Rocker, Mont,
Believed to Be That of Recent
iy Executed Murderer.

Miles Fullers ghost haunts the road
between Butte and Rocker and it's
first appearance was made as party
of merrymakers was on it's way from
Crystal Springs to Butte, says the An
aconda Standard. The nigh was a
dreary one and clouds cut offvthe lit
tie starlight that would otherwise
have been in evidence. The time was
just midnight, that popular hour when
graves are supposed to yawn. The
tally-ho had just topped the little raise
below the Sunrise saloon, when the
horses stopped, snorted in terror, for
their eyes had caught the CLEAN of
something white. An instant later it
came out of the darkness, and the
sight was SO appalling that the pas
sengers actually fell out of the carry
all and fled shrieking toward Crystal
Springs. The horses were petri1ed
with terror for moment and then
fled panic-stricken through the dark
ness, the driver in his fright being
unable to control them. The tally-ho
was almost completely wrecked and
the driver and horses escaped serious
injury only by miracle.
AS soon as the passengers arrived
at the springs they told of the fright
full vision they had seen and the dan
ger in which the driver had been
placed. Immediately party was
formed to hunt up the driver and lay
the ghost. The driver was found be-
fore going far, for he had swung the
horses towards the springs and he still
had control of them, although the
wagon was wrecked. The poor brutes
we're actually wringing wet with
sweat of terror and were trembling
so their teeth ratified. II have the
horses all safe," said the driver. go
up there and see what has frightened
them," and the rescuers hurried on
only to see shadowy, phosphorescent
object disappear over hill towards
Rocker.
One of the men who saw the ghost
is positive it is that of old Miles Full
Ter, who was hanged in Butte few
months ago. Fuller used to be resi-
dent of that section of the country
and the people there say there is no
doubt that his spirit is now haunting
the road. 1.-THE sight was a terrible
one," said one of the passengers.

ON THE WESTERN RAILROADS.
Big Locomotives Smoothly Overcome
Some Remarkable Grades.

That the cost of operation of one of
the big western limited trains is an
enormous item may be conjectured
from the fact that in the 2,309-mile
run from Lake Michigan to the Pacific
coast these heavy trains must sur
mount an altitude of nearly 1900 feet,
from height of $50 feet above sea
level to Chicago, the initial point. This
climb may be realized when it is
learned that the Pennsylvania rail
road in crossing the Alleghanies has
to ascend not more than 1000 feet
from an altitude of 700 feet at Pitts.
burg, and almost every one knows
what the grade is on the famous
Horseshoe curve. When the trans
continental train reaches Los Angeles
it has descended to a bare 266 feet
above the level of the Pacific. Small
connoisseur in mechanics gazes in ad.
miration upon the monster locomo-
tives of the latest Pacific type turned
out by the Baldwin shops for the
draught of these heavy trains across
the Rockies and the Sierras; and
even the amateur in railroading can
see from the observation car as the
train speeds along that the roadbed
is perfect, the grades and curves az
easy as they could possibly be made,
the ballasting all that could possibly
be desired and the locomotion as even
as though the train were propelled
along a CLASSY surface smooth as a
tranquil pond.
Yet the 1900 miles from Chicago
to Los Angeles are covered with an
average of about IS miles to the hour
Of course this comparison suffers with
the so miles per hour maintained by
the 18-hour trains of the Pennsylvania
and Lake Shore railroads between
New York and Chicago, but it must
be remembered that these roads have
reached the utmost perfection in rail-
road equipment. Their right of way
for long distance is occupied by
four tracks and none of it by less than
two; that the distance on which the
speed is maintained is approximately
but 900 miles, against the 1890 miles
of transcontinental roadway under
discussion, and of the 1900 miles by
this route only 4SS of it is double
tracked.
But they are learning fast how to
railroad in the west.

A Woman on Women.

For selfishness and reconsideration,
commend me to woman travelling,
says the Saturday Evening Post. She
will deliberately occupy two seats in
a street car; see other women stand,
laden with bundles, without offering to
move up, and otherwise try to prove
to everybody with eyes in their
heads that they, these women, have
no manners at all.
Yet, if you called at the houses of
such women, have no doubt in the
world that you would be courteously
received; their best would be at your
disposal, and you would otherwise dis
cover that they had some claim to the
title of ladies-but never from their
manners in public.
And, far from displaying good man
ners themselves, many women are in
capable of approaching good manners
in others. If well-bred woman does
move up to make room for standing
woman, how often is the first woman
thanked? Sometimes not even a bow
or glance is given!
Ask men how often they are thanked
(once in 20 times) for giving their
seats in car to women.

Tools Cheap at Junk Shops.

In every large city will be found
places where secondhand or junk
tools are sold. Tools of all descrip-
tons, adapted to every branch of
mechanics, can be bought at prices
ranging from one cent up.
good-sized paint brush brings two
cents, a carpenters hammer five
cents, pick or shovel Is cents, rip
saw ten cents, and so on. According
to Popular Mechanics, the average
price is less than one-tenth what the
new article would cost at hardware
store, and the tool is often just as USE
full as new one.
Some of the stuff in the motley col
lection comes from unredeemed
pawns, some from junk dealers and
a good deal from parties of whom no
questions are asked.
frequently quite valuable tools and
instruments can be had for mere
song, as most customers want the
tools of ordinary use requiring less
skill to handle.

CUTTING AFFAIR
AT SPARKSVILLE.
"TOeS" McGinniS SIaSheS Charley
Scott Across Face Several Times.

AS the result of fight near Sparks
vile last Wednesday evening, Charley
Scott, son of Mr.. Isham Scott, lies
seriously wounded.
From information received from that
section the correct story of the affair
is as follows:
A number of men, including the
principals in the scrap, were drinking
near McClawley's blacksmith shop, a
short distance from Sparksville, when
McGinnis and Scott became engaged in
a quarrel, which resulted in the latter
receiving four ugly slashes about the
face; one beginning in the edge of the
hair and extending to the eyebrow; an
other commencing on the forehead and
running to the end of the nose; the
third across jaw, almost through it
and the fourth from the left ear nearly
across the throat.
While the cuts are very serious, the
attending physicians, think Scott will
recover.

PRAISE The LIVING, NOT THE DEAD.

What is the use of all your praise
Or gentle song of fame,
When I am dead and cannot share
The pleasure of that name?
What is the use of flowers, sweet,
That doth adorn the clay,
That forms the mound wherein l sleep
When am dead? l say.
What is the use to eulogize
Or shed bitter tear,
when ear is deaf and heart can't feel!
What do you think I'd care!
What is the use of pleasant words
When am in the ground!
You know cannot hear them then;
They will no sorrow drown.
What is the use of the above
When am past all giving?
Please take them all from off my grave
And give them to the living.
So now if you've these garlands, sweet
To scatter Ger my grave,
l would you'd give them to me now
While they my path will pave.
If kindly words or gentle praise
You can on me bestow,
Please do it now while I'm alive
Or let them never flow.
