OUT OF SLEEP ON WARPATH
Man aroused by R~estauranteur Stabs
Him and wife and At
Ed ROthery. .

Aroused out of a sound sleep, James Cot
ton OF 1906 Dodge street. without any appar-
ent provucatton, inflicted serious injury on
Mr.. n Mrs. p. II, Rump, proprietors Of
d restaurant at Ill South Fourteenth street,
shortly before noon Friday and attempted
to stab Ed Rothery, the proprietor of a sa-
loon near the restaurant. Rothery and a
%bystander succeeded in overcoming the man
and held him until the patrol wagon could
be summoned and he was taken to jail,
where he is now held on the charge of cut
ting with the attempt to kill. =
Cotton went into the Rump restaurant
for a meal and after partaking of the food
went to sleep in his chair. Later the pro-
prietor sought TO arouse him. when the
man pulled a knife and severely stabbed
Mr.. Rump in the left breast and cut a cash
a half inch deep In his neck. Mrs. Rbmp
then rushed to the aid of her husband and
Cotton turned and stabbed her in the left
forearm and one finger. He then bolted
for the door, but Ed Rothery. hearing the
scuffle, blocked his escape. Cotton at
temped to stab the saloon keeper, but with
the aid OF another man who ran up just
then he was o~verpowered and held awaiting
the arrival Of the police.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Rump say that Cotton
made his attack without the slightest
provocation. The proprietors OF the restau.
rant are not dangerously injured.

RAIN A BANE AND BENEFIT
washes out Four Miles of Railroad
Track and Helps Crops
.ud Sail

Heavy rains In the western part Of the
state did some damage to the railroads
and an immense amount Of good to grow
ing crops and the soil for fall blowing.
one OF the heaviest rains fell west OF
Sidney, where about four miles of Union
Pacific track was washed out. Traffic
was delayed to some extent. although tht
trains were diverted via LaSalie, which
made an extra journey of fifty miles. The
track was all repaired and ready for traf
fic at 6 o'clock Friday morning.
showery conditions prevailed in the east
ern part of the state Thursday night and
Friday morning and up the Missouri valley
generally. The heaviest rain reported
through the weather bureau was at Broken
Bow, where 1.57 inches fell The precipita-
ton at Omaha during the night was but
Oh Of an inch.
The very recent rains have put our sec
ton Of the state in most excellent condition
for fall blowing and for the planting OF
fall grain" said William II. Cowgirl Of
Holdrege.
Mr.. Cowgirl 10 a candidate for the nomi-
nation Of state railway commissioner on
the democratic ticket and was in Omaha
looking over the lay Of the land. Corn
in places was damaged a little by the dry
weather, but the recent rains have brought
most of II to the fore and we will have a
fine crop Of corn he said. 1T was a
peculiarly strange thing that the corn which
was the furthest advanced was damaged
the most. Some fields were able to go
through the short dry spell in fine shape
while a field across the road suffered con-
siderable. We have now had plenty OF
moisture and the corn crop will go a long
ways toward making business pick ur
again"

The Source Of Life.

In paleozoic times II was the earth
Itself, not the sun. to which plant and
animal primarily stood behoIden for
existence. This gives us most in.
structiye glimpse into one planetologic
process. TO the planets own internal
heat is due the chief fostering of the
beginnings Of life upon its surface.
Thus planet is capable or at least
beginning to develop organisms with
out more than a modicum Of help from
the central sun We talk of the sun
as the source Of life. and so it is today
in the sense Of being its sustainer, but
the real source was the earth itself.
which also raised it through Its baby

He would willingly have avoided Tree

Hare chivalrously remained in his
box to the end Of the play. AS the
curtain descended Oh each act he had
dreaded the invitation Of his fellow
player to his dressing room, where the
usual courtesies would have been ex-
pected.
Act by act slipped by without any
word from the stage, and Hare grew
proportionately relieved. AS the last
curtain fell, however, and Hare retired

coat 'Now's my hour" thought Hare.
Not one word from Tree. They shook
hands on the threshold. and Hare start

Tree followed him to his carriage.

LOCOMOTIVE
ENGINEER

Why should the locomotive engi-
neer be a fatalist?
I have been asked the question
time and again. There is only the
one answer for the question. That
is for the reason that everything in
the life of the engineer points to
the necessity of philosophy if the
engineer is to pursue his line of
work with a steady hand and nerve.
Ordinarily when the layman stands
beside a great stationary steam en-
CINE working under heavy pressure
he is startled at it's power In the
hot, close, atmosphere of the machin-
cry room, filled with sliding pistons,
great flying wheels and rumbling
shafts whirling and flying overhead,
he begins to appreciate the latent
power that is encompassed within its
mechanism. If he will stop to con-
slider that the locomotive engine is
mounted to travel at so, 60 or 70
miles an hour, while at the same
time operating under a steam pres
sure of 220 to 240 pounds to every
square inch of boiler surface, he may
get some idea of the position of the
engine driver who holds the throttle.
Layman that he is, he feels his in
significance as compared to the giant
boiler which is anchored fast to it's
foundations of stone, steel and ce-
ment far below the surface. If the
design of that boiler were to travel
a mile minute while he was looking
on his sense of it's power and inse-
curity would be greatly exaggerated.
Anything that might interfere with
the physical flight of this great boil
err through space is at once a double
menace to the engineer. He is re-
sponsible for everything in the op-
GRAFTON OF this huge boiler, while in
its working it's whole foundation
changes with every fraction of sec
ond marked off by his watch. Not
the best stretch OF track on his divis-
ion is proved and safe. An open
switch, flaw in a rail, careless
telegraph operator, a sudden wash
out of bridge or culvert-any one of
these things may send the engine
driver into eternity without mo-
ment's warning.
1t may be that his engine is of a
type having driving rod plunging

up and down and forward and back
|squarely under the throttle, hour af-
ter hour. The swapping of a crank
pin on a great driver may send the
flying steel bar crashing up through
the engineers seat and mean death
in an instant.
Or flying at mile a minute and
having to take for granted a great
deal concerning the condition of the
water in his boiler, the menace of the
superheated steam itself may be
something which he can only take
for granted, while he turns blindly
to his luck"
Feeding water into the locomotive
boiler through automatic injectors
while holding to a fast schedule
leaves the engine dependent upon
their workings. They may work or
they may fail.
Low water in boiler is one of the
greatest dangers that confront the
engineer, and if the condition shall
escape his attention for any reason
and the baking injectors suddenly
pump cold water to the superheated
surfaces the likelihood of an explo-
sion menaces him.
What locomotive boiler, explod-
ing, cannot and may not do never
has been determined. A few weeks
ago on one of the mountain divisions
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
in West Virginia, the boiler of a
great freight engine was pulling in
on sidetraCk. 1t tore away from
the engine mountings and jumped
100 feet clear of freight car near
by. Striking the ground, the boiler
rose again for 200 feet, and fell in
a farm yard, hitting a third time and
clearing the farmhouse into an or
chard 500 feet from the ruins of the
locomotive, among which both en-
gineer and fireman lay dead.
Holding the throttle blindly, and
blindly trusting to luck" the engi-
neer moves out upon his run, his life
in his hands. Any one of a dozen
conditions may mean his death. He
has no control over any Of them. In
a threatened head-on collision he is
at such height and moving at such
speed as to make jumping almost
suicidal.
His only recourse is fatalism. He
will not get it" till his time comes.
