RTRNED FORESTS FOUND.
Strange Discovery of Deep WeH

Six hundred and thirty-eight feet of burned for

Long Island by the deep well~drivers of the Water
Department. 1t has long been the theory OF ge-
ologists that Long Island has been slowly sinking,
but even the United States Geological Survey has
never tried TO make thorough Investigation OF
the facts The biologists say that thousands OF

the north over what are now the New England
states Long Island was formed by the deposits

MAURITANIA LOSES PROPELLER
Blade Falls on and Big ship Has
Hard Time in storm on
Crossing.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-For more than
half an hour last Wednesday the great tur-
bine steamer Mauretania, with all it's cabins
filled with frightened passengers, rolled
and pitched helplessly in mid-ocean, with
waves constantly breaking over its decks
1t had run into the storms hours before,
but had been kept under headway until
one of its propeller blades flew off with a
crash that alarmed nearly everyone on
board.
So tremendous was the force OF the blow
which the loosened propeller dealt the ship
that the whole middle section seemed to
rise, the flooring buckled until tacks from
the carpet were hurled against the ceilings
and passengers were thrown about the
cabins. The engines were stopped at once
and the big ship, losing its way, began to
wallow in the trough OF the seas, while the
passengers besieged the captain, implorng
him to tell the nature of the acldent Every
effort was made to quiet the frightened
ones, but the intense excitement did not
subside until the steamer started once more
on its way
The compartment adjoining the propeller
shafts filled with water. 1t is believed that
the detached propeller drove a hole in the
steamers bottom.
The severe weather conditions prevailed
throughout the voyage and yesterday, when
Sandy Hook. at the gateway of New York
harbor, was reached the steamer ran into
a fog, which compelled It TO lie at anchor
for more than nineteen hours 1t came to-
day into the harbor and to its dock.

JIM WILL GO TO ILLINOIS
Bows TO the VIII of the Big Boss and
VIII speak in National
s.saa Forum.

The personal liberty issue which Is to be
pushed in the state platform conference of
the democratic party at Lincoln Tuesday
will have to make its way without the
guiding hand of its foster father, Mayor
Dahlman The mayor was expected to go
from this county, but since the receipt Of
the telegram from the national committee
asking him to tell them what's what in
Illinois he has been in doubt. A telegram
which he sent back to ask for further In
structions and a release II possible has
brought no answer.
Consequently Mayor Dahlman has de-
cided that he is needed in Illinois more
than in Nebraska and will go there on
the national committees orders next week.
This leaves George Rogers. the choice of
the Dahlman Democracy, as the possible
representative from Douglas at the state
platform convention next Tuesday. The
principles which Mayor Jim advocates,
however, are as dear TO George Rogers
as they are to him and they will be care
fully safeguarded.
Mr. Rogers probably will receive his ap-
pointment from the county committee.
