once wired and Faltys was arrested and

Summers has the appearance Of a novice
or at most a member of the shop-lifting
class. He had the usual trappings Of a
cigarette smoker only that he smoked the
brown papers, or those saturated with an
opiate. He was we'll dressed but looked
forlorn last night after a day spent behind
the bars.
In his attack on the safe he had accom-
plished little except to break the handle
off the combination and dent the steel in
a few. places. Faltys is said TO have cut

Funeral of ChesIey Layton,
The funeral Of Chesley D. Layton was
attended by a large number Of the older
residents Of South Omaha. The
took place Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
All Of the pioneers of the city remember
Mr.. Layton. The service was conducted by
Dr.. r. l.. Wheeler. the pioneer pastor Of
the city. A quartet consisting Of Thomas
Broadhurst, e. G. Rozzelle. J. c. Carley
and J. B. Smith assisted with appropriate
musical numbers, DR.. Wheeler's address,
as one by one he has laid so many pioneers
to rest, was particularly tender and remi-
niscent,
N. D. Mann, Patrick McAvoy, James
sandon, F, A. Cressey. David Anderson
and Edward A. Voss acted as pallbearers.
All were pioneers and old friends OF Mr..
Layton. The burial OF the deceased was at
Laurel Hill cemetery. He was formerly a
member of the Odd Fellows, but in later
years, becoming too feeble to attend, the
membership iapsed. He was seriously in
jured in a railroad accident nearly a year
ago and since that time had not been able
TO be about much snd this injury is thought
to have FASTENED his death. He was cross
ing the tracks when a fast train struck

under him, letting him fall heavily on the

The grounds on which II Is claimed that
the voting machine does not comply with
the law since the circle was taken Off the
ballot, are that the legislature in amend
ing the law to take the circle off the ballot
cut out these words.
Or II he desires to vote for all the candi-
dates upon any ticket, he may do so by
placing a cross in the circle at the head Of
the ticket.
This leaves the provision reading as fol-
lows:
Upon retiring to the voting booth, the
voter shall prepare his ballot by placing a
cross In the square opposite the name OF
each candidate for whom he desires to
vote. 49,
OF course those who desire to defend the
voting machine claim that this amendment
pertains to the paper ballot and not to the
voting machine and that the machine is
still legal. Politicians will be rejoiced II it
Is found legal by the courts for 1t will

Wagons and Quantity of Feed Also
Consumed.

In a fire which destroyed yesterday aft
ernoon the barn at the rear Of the resi-
dence Of John A.. Kirk, 12s Eighteenth
avenue, two horses we're burned to death.
Two delivery wagons, a quantity Of har-
ness and feed were also destroyed. The
fire, which started about l o'clock, was
sad by some to have been caused by boys
smoking cigarettes in the blrn, while others
declared that 1t resulted from a spark
from a locomotive in the nearby railroad
yards. BY the time the firemen reached
the place the barn was a mass of flames
and It was impossible to reach the horses.
Mr.. Kirk, who conducts a meat market on
Sixteenth avenue. placed his loss at some
thing over 800, without any insurance.
A few minutes before noon yesterday the
fire department was called to Twenty
second avenue and Eighth street, where
dry grass in some vacant lots had caught
fire ana threatened to spread to adjoining
residences.

OUR DIFFICULT ENGLISH.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES oot

An American who met Henryk Sien-
kiewlcz during his stay In California
many years ago has recently confided
to the public that the great Polish nov
elist has only become an admirer of
America since he left it. While he was
here, homesick member OF an ideal
lstic community which was a failure,
American MANNERS and customs did not
please him, and he did not display the
usual aptitude of his countrymen In ac-
quirlng the language, which he used
reluctantly and as little as possible.
On being introduced to the American,
he inquired, politely:
"How is your heels?'
Perceiving a puzzled expression Oh
the countenance of his new acqualnt-
ance, he, too. looked puzzled for an In
stant, then whipped little phrase

umphantly to the question, How Is

Real sinews of War.

To achieve perfect powder is the
dream of every war chemist of to-day.
So writes William George in the Tech
nical World Magazine for January.
For upon this uncertain stuff does
the destiny Of nations depend, in spite
Of Hague conferences and the amiable
platitudes Of peace ENJOYS Great
Britain has her cordlte and lyddite /;
France puts her trust in polson-reek-
ing melinite; Japan has her Shimo-
nose powder. In short, every war Of
fee has its own formula, but all are
based on "nitro-compound" like gun
cotton. This is a high explosive al
most entirely smokeless, and enormous
ly more powerful than ordinary gun
powder. long since relegated to the linn
bo of other days, Just as gas has been
superseded by electric light in the more
peaceful walks of life.
Unfortunately the compound cannot
b, relied upon. The absolute requisite
is stability-the ensurlng that the pow
der will endure without change any
heat or climatic variation. An unsta-
BILE explosive-the terror OF every war
ship afioat. which stocks many tons of
it-looks like any other in the labora-
tory, and will shoot as well as the best,
provided 1t be used before 1t has time
to burn itself up. The trouble is that
no chemist on earth knows when spon-
taneous combustion will take place
through decomposition with the powder
itself. Hence many terrible disasters
Of recent years in all navies.
