The Middle West has found new use for the straw and corn cobs which heretofore 1t was necessary to burn in order to get them out of the way. At Beatrice, Neb. a plant was put in operation which manu- factures Illuminating gas from straw, corn cobs and things of that sort. The gas is sold to the residents for $1 thousand feet, which is s7 less thousand feet than the price charged for coal gas by a company in the same city. Ton for ton more gas was produced from the vege- table matter than could be produced from the best Pennsylvania coal, 16,- 900 cubic feet being taken from a ton of cobs and straw, which Is SO per cent more than the coal could have produced Another advantage of the vegetable gas Is that 1t pro- duces 660 thermal units of heat against 600 units for coal gas. From now on there is no reason why towns of the Middle West should not be provided with gas plants, for there is an abundance of fuel which may be had for the hauling, whien costs only a very small amount pei ton. It costs just $6 a ton in Beat rice, Neb, for coal from which to manufacture gas. Gas plants aI- ready in operation can be converted to use straw and such like for a very small amount.

If the owners and managers of dance halls have any voice in the matter the barn dance Is likely to be short lived. This dance, which is nothing more than q gallop around the hall, is very hard on floors and conducive to wearing them out quickly. Tn buildings where the dance hall is on an upper floor the whole place seems to shake when ( large crowd is doing the barn break down. The dance may be good for training purposes and perhaps is all right in worn out shack" but should have no place on a good dance floor.

Hot Air

Is very pleasant at times. Yes, for the past seven or eight days HOT AIR has been all right, and if the thermometer continues to stay down around zero, HOT AIR will be very welcome. By the way, we were won- dering if the trolley company be- lieves in HOT AIR; if so, they are certainly neglecting their cars. And we also were wondering if the board of health approve of HOT AIR or cold storage for the trolley cars surely they ought to have say re- garding the public health. Of course if cold storage is the most beneficial, this ad man should keep still, if not there should be big holler made. We'll, speaking of HOT AIR reminds us of a certain city board. There certainly is chairman of that cer- tain board who will receive HOT AIR in galore until his term ex- pires, and while he has his own share of HOT AIR, he's to be pitied nevertheless. We'll, to use slang, we will say there is no HOT AIR about our statment when we tell you our Tea, Coffee, Cocoa and But termilk is the very best quality in the city, always fresh, and the guar anteed good quality and reasonable in price at

DROPPED THE GUN
After Raising C0mm0ilon at inc
 Corner of Bank and Grand.

A man, said to be connected with the United States recruiting office in this city, created considerable excite ment at the corner of Bank and Grand streets last evening about s o'clock by discharging a revolver. The man was at the corner when he fired the gun and the shot brought a large crowd around in a very short time.
 After causing the racket ''Mr Wise guy" hustled down Grand street and threw the revolver into the doorway of Minors store, next door to The Democrat office. It is said that he fired the gun just to have some fun. A wo- man who was passing on the other side of the street with a small boy at that time was badly frightened by the report of the gun and for time she thought that some one was mak- ing an attempt upon her life. It seemed as though she would become hysterical ~.s@
 Several policemen were attracted to the corner by the shot and later Superintendent of Police Beach and Lieutenant Dodds arrived. But no arrest was made
 The fellow who caused the excite ment was later spotted by the police but they said they had no evidence to bring him to the station. Conse- uuently they did not bring him in but they brought the revolver. It was said to-day if any evidence could be secured a warrant would be made out for the arrest of the mili- tary man as the police are we'll aware of the one who fired the shot.

discovered the tomb of the Queen we
have referred tO-Queen Til. While
her burial chamber had also been en-
tered by the robber no one knows how
many centuries ago, and most of its
funeral decorations stolen as well as
the Jewels with which she was I'M
doubtedly decked, the alabaster
mould encasing the head of this IL
lustrious mummy was found unbroken,
as well as a wonderfully beautiful gar
ment in which she was encased. The
making of the alabaster mask is one
of the arts only known to the ancients
who inhabited the valley of the Nile
The aIabaster mould has been brought
to America, where it has been careful
" examined by experts in archaeology.
1t is entirely of alabaster, with the
exception of the eyes and eyebrows,
which are composed of substance
known as lapislazuli and obsidiau
The features preserved by the mould
are of remarkable beauty, but, strange
to say, little resemble the type of the
ancient Egyptians, with the exception
of the lips. The curve of the nose
is more of a Greek outline. This has
caused the scientists to believe that
Queen Til may have been of European
descent.
The features of the father and
mother of this royal woman are also
considerably different from the faces
of other mummies which have been
found in the Nile country So care
fully and artistically did the embaIm-
ers of this period do their work that
were examined in their tomb chamber
the life-like expression on their faces
caused the observers to be amazed.
Although dark and shrunken by the
thousands of years during which they
had been walled up in the rock, the
character of the features was as clear
lv shown as if death had but recently
claimed the pair.
The extent of the tomb furniture
and ornaments, and the ample supply
of food which had been stored in jars
and other receptacles for the benefit
of this illustrious dead, can be realized
when it is stated that a caravan
consisting of no less than six camels
and $50 pOrters was required to trans
port the contents of this tomb across
the desert to the Nile, where it was
transported by steamer to Cairo and
placed in the noted museum in this
city devoted to Egyptian antiquities.
This was the way in which Ioua and
Toua made their last journey: They
were first swathed with many folds of
thin cloth completely covering them
from head to foot Then they were
wrapped in a heavier fabric, and final
ly placed in little wooden boxes. Each
box was securely strapped to the back
of a camel, and beside it walked a
guard of Egyptian soldiers, in addition
to half dozen porters, while every
few hours the fastenings were care
fully examined to see that they had
not been broken. To prevent the ma
tives from stealing any of the jars, an
other body of soldiers accompanied the
porters who bore them.-Chamber s

ANTS EAT sANDALWooD.

Out in Burma and the Far East,
where sandalwood is worth its weight
in silver, the pestiferous ant is vaIu-
able assistant to the Ioggers of that
precious timber. The hard and fra
grant heartwood alone has value, but
as the tree grows this valuable heart
is overlaid by soft and worthless layer
forming two-t thirds of the trunk. When
tree is felled and cut into lengths
the loggers let the timber lie. At once
the ants begin work upon the soft
wood, which is sappy and sweet enough
to attract them. In a few weeks, less
than month in the case of the largest
butts, the ants deliver the heartwood
free of all the worthless sapwood.

THE WORRIED WOMEN.

fhey say men must work and
women must weep; but alas, in
.his too busy world women often
have to work and weep at the
same time. Their holidays are
too few and their work heavy
and monotonous. It makes them
nervous and irritable. The de-
pressed and worried woman loses
her appetite and grows thin and
feeble. Once in a while she has
spells of paIpitation and has to
lie up for day or two. If some
disease like influenza or maIarial
fever happens to prevail she is
almost certain to have an attack
of it, and that often paves the
way for chronic troubles of the
throat, lungs and other organs;
and there is no saying what the
end may be. Let the tired and
ovArladen woman rest as much
as possible; and, above all, place
at her command a bottle of

PREVENTION OF BLINDNESS.

AS to the prevention of unnecessary
blindness, this is a matter which the
physicians of the country have been
alive to these many years, but which
the New York Association for the Blind
has Just taken up by means of a special
committee. This movement resulted
from the fact that a member of the
new association, who has been a leader
in far-reaching measures of phiianthru.
py, recently became impressed by the
startling fact that. as DIR. Lewis puts
it, from 80 to 40 per cent. of those
who are blind need never have become
so had proper measures been taken at
the right time to prevent this affiic.
ton In this case the method of
prevention is a simple and absolutely
painless precauton to be exercised with
newborn Children method invented
quarter of century ago in Leipsic,
and now known and generally approved
throughout the medical world.
The work of the special committee,
in cooperation with competent physl-
clans and state authorities, will doubt
less be taken up in other states of
America, and before another quarter of
a century has passed this one device
of prevention will doubtless be the
means of saving from misfortune thou
sands of members of the human family
who will never have known of their
danger. Should this prevention become
universal, the hardship of blindness
would be diminished to an extent it Is
impossible to compute.
nd is it too strained an optimism
for ms to look forward to time when
the danger of this phase of blindness

largely removed from the ills to which
humanity is heir? That day of radical
prevention will be fastened by frank
er and more scientific attitude on the
part of both physicians and the public.
Already signs are multiplying of a great
and widespread awakening-an awak-
ening which may do that for humanity
which has been for centuries the dream

also of the long line of the world s

end his life early this morning on the
streets by drinking the drug mixed
with sweet Oil, but the sweet oil pre-
vented the drug from taking effect
for several hours. He evidently
thought that as the drug had not
