Fifty Years with One Railroad.

Joseph Boynton, locomotive en-.
gineer for the Chicago & Alton rail
road, has just passed his sixty-fourth
birthday and celebrated with it his
fiftieth year Of service with the rail
road. In@1858 he began as messen
ger boy at. the Chicago station and
in 1854 was made engineer. He has
never had an accident of any sort and
never has been reprimanded. He is in
the prime OF health and bids fair to
spend many more years at his en-
ployment, t IS said he is the Oldest
man ia the employ OF the Alton rail
road, both in age and In years OF serv

NEBRASKA,

Democrats Make Sweeping Victory in
Bryan's State.
Returns, while far from compete,
are sufficiently definite to confirm and
emphasize the first repart that the
Democrats have made sw eeptlg vic
tory in Nebraska. Bryan will have a
plurality of not less than 10000, and
Shallenberger, DEM, for governor
and the balance of the Democratic
ticket will have hardly q thousand
less.
At least four or probably five of Ne
braska's six congressman are Demo-
cratic, only one Republican, Hinshaw,
being assured Of escaping defeat. The
greatest surprise Of all is the over
whelming majority the Democrats will
have in the legislature

TREE EXPERIMENT A FAILURE.
Railroads Effort to Substitute Catalpa
Ties for Oak Didn't Work.

An experiment in tree culture by
which it was hoped to supplant white
oak as the standard tree for railroad
ties with another had been tried and
found wanting by the Rio Grande &
Western railroad, says the New York
Times. Senator Reed Smoot of Utah,
chairman of the forestry division of
the committee on national resources.
which was appointed last June by
President Roosevelt, told of this ex-
pertinent few days ago, just after
getting back from trip through Ger
many, France and Switzerland, where
he studied the forestry methods in
those countries, with an idea of adapt
ing some of them to conditions here.
THAT experiment Of the Rio
Grande & Western was with catalpa
Trees" said Senator Smoot. TT was
begun several years ago. At that
time there was fear that the white
oak trees, which furnished most Of
the ties for the railroads Of the United
States, would soon be exterminated.
The price of ties had gone up. Great
forests of white oak throughout the
country had been slaughtered and the
railroads found it hard to get good
ties. The white oak is far from a
rapid grower and it would take years
for the oak forests to grow up again
to a size large enough to make rail-
road ties. -
AT that time there was some talk of
the catalpa tree being a good substi-
tute for the white oak. 1t was a much
softer wood, but had been tried in
a small way for ties by some of the
railroads. So the Rio Grande &
Western decided to plant large
double avenue of catalpa along its
lines Of track through Utah.
1T took large force Of men many
weeks to plant the trees, but the rail-
road made a mistake by not protect
ing them from cattle and rodents. The
result was that what might have been
one of the most beautiful pieces of
road in the country now has a rather
ragged appearance, and the expert
ment was dismal failure"

An enthusiastic young scientist along

of the insects is heard three women
faint and all the men of the premises
swear violently.
The bug man insists there's no dan

Also he is heard to chuckle apoplec-

Of seven members for the Democrats.
Taft carried the state for president BY
about 5000. The entire Democratic
state ticket is probably elected BY a
plurality around $4,000. :
The state legislature is probably
Democratic, which means that a Dem
ocratic successor to Senator James A.

Unofficial Returns Give Taft Plurality
Of 149.
On the face of unofficial returns
Taft has carried Maryland by 149

result, and neither side will feel con-

made known. The Maryland delega-

Among the representatives of for
elgn powers in Washington nine rank
as ambassadors, the last country to
elevate her envoy to this distinction
having been Japan, after her war with
Russia. The dean of the diplomatic
corps must be an ambassador and he
enjoys this distinction because of the
priority In the date Of his appointment
over that Of other ambassadors to this
country. The present dean of the dip
lomatic corps is the Italian ambassa-
dor, Baron Mayor des Planches, now
entering upon his eighth year in
washington. Baron Hengelmuller Won
HengerVar, ambassador from AUSTRIA
Hungary, is the oldest diplomat in
point OF service, but was only raised
to the rank of ambassador in 1902. Mr..
Brun, minister from Denmark, has
been in America since 1895.
The distinction in diplomacy be.
tween an ambassador and minister
is best conveyed in the statement that
minister represents his government,
while an ambassador represents "the
person Of his sovereign" In America
the minister deals with the secretary
or state and the state department,
while the ambassador takes his ques-
ton direct to the president, and has
entree at all times to his presence.
