Poetic Justice,

A man whose soul has been tortured
frequently by the remarks of his wife,
who takes a liendIsh delight in setting
a price on the handsome clothes worn
by other women, one day found sweet
comfort In the incautious comment of
woman In crowded car.
"Oh. yes" said the observing other
woman, the hat looks well enough
but 1t is cheap. II couldn't have cost
a cent moro than six dollars
Thereupon said the man to his wife:
Why do YOU always pick out the
most expensive clothes for especial no
uce? Why don't you look at something
cheap once In while? There are
cheap things worn, There is a hat in
this very. car that cost only six dollars
The woman just behind us pointed Il
out minute ago"
We'll" said his wife. you are the
last person on earth who ought to fee,
proud OF it, 1t was me she was talk

IrCnInQsOay Hint

To prevent the iron from sticking to
collar or shirt front when ironing
il, a capital plan Is that of using white
wax. while at the same time good
gloss is obtained on the surface OF the
linen. Instead of investing in special
wax for the purpose, any odds and
ends of candles may be used. and
these should be sewn into a square OF
cotton or linen, and the iron passed
once on twice ever it before begin
ming TO use it.

DENATuRED ALCOHOL NOT THE
BOON THAT MANY EXPECTED
Has Not SupIanted Gasoline as Mean 6
of Motive Powcr-Cost OF Produc-
tlon High.

Seventeen inspectors and four rev.
cnue agents on the Ienatured alcohol
rolls of the internal revenue bureau
have been dismissed because their SER
VICES arc no longer needed. IL Is cN-
planned that the expectation that dc
naturcd alcohol would make rapid
strides In slppplantinE gasoline rs n
motive power for small farm engines,
automobiles, etc, has been disaproint-
ing: first, because the engines now In
use are not adapted to alcohol. and,
second, because OF its comparatively
high cost of manufacture by present
methods. Considerable progress In its
utilization In certain classes OF manu-
features Is. however. apparent, notably
i'm the. production of celluloid. ether.
sunpnwder and sulyrnt for paintA,
varnishcs anu the like. and to a slight
degree rs fuel and light. In many OF
these uses 1t has taken the place .of
wood alcohol.
But SO far MS any direct benefit to
tho farmers OF The country Is CONCERN
cd. the removal OF the tax OF SLID n
gallon on denaturch alcohol has beci
up to this time inconsequcntinl. II was
fully expected by the friends OF the
measure In removing the tax that low
grade potatoes. cornstalks mud other
cheap products and by-nroducts OF
farms could be utilized In the produce
ton of dcnnturcd alcohol that could
successfully compete In large ana
growing field with gasoline and other
mineral oils. but very little progress
In the direction has yet hren made.

was 1891 Adj vino gallons. and In 1909
about 4 500. 600 gallons.

Vietor's AIibi Weak.

Aberdeen, S. D., July 10.-There is
nothing left to the alibi set up by
Emil Victor to show that he was in
Condo when the Christie family was
murdered at Rudolph last Saturday
morning.
States Attorney Van Slyke fails to
find anyone at Condo who knows Vic
tor or recalls the visit of any such
appearing man there at the time he
claims to have been there, and like
wise the trainmen fail to recall any
one answering his description riding
on the train from Condo to Worthwhile
on the day in question.
On the other hand, the route of the
murderer has been traced all the way
from the farm where the murder was
committed to Worthwhile, where Victor
was arrested, and several parties
identified Victor as party whom they
met at points between Rudolph and
Worthwhile.
The accused man has not yet Sc
cured counsel, and claims to be unable
to bear the expense of securing any
one to defend his case, and the court
has not yet taken action in the mat

man by the name of Murphy down on
the Niobrara river southwest of here
in quarrel over land in the year of
1884. He was arrested and had a trial,
conviction and one for acquittal.
Then in his second trial the very
night that the second jury was out, he
broke jail. 1t was thought that he
had help from the outside at the time
and up till now has never been heard
from. Sheriff Rosseter Immediately
wired to have him arrested and held

out and bring Marion back and he

Income Tax for Nebraska7

lincoln, July l0.-Nebraska may be
the first among the states of the union
to adopt the income tax amendment
to the federal constitution as propos-
ed in the senate amendment now
pending before that body.
Governor Shallenberger said that If
the federal court injunction against
the bank deposit guaranty law was
not of such a character as to make 1t
possible for the legislature to remedy
it's defects, he would call that body
in special session Until then he
could not say what he would do. If
the law was entirely knocked out, he
would not resort to that measure.
He added, however, that If the legis-
lature Is convened in special session
he will include in the call and recon-
mend for their consideration the pas
sage by that body of the income tax
amendment. 1t is not expected that
any formidable opposition to it will de-
velop In Nebraska.

How Anderson Was Killed.

Stuart Adyocate Charles Ander-
son, a c. & n. w. brakeman, whose
home was in Norfolk and who was a
member of the local freight crew, was
caught in the frog at the east switch
of the Stuart yard, Monday morning
about 10 o'clock, and received injuries
from which he died in a couple of
hours. He was helping with the regu-
lar switching, and was walking ahead
of a moving car and probably failed to
notice the frog, or intersection of the
two rails, and wedged his foot between
the rails and did not have time to es-
cape before the cars were upon him.
The left leg was cut off below the
knee and the right one above the knee,
and he had large hole torn in the
abdomen. He was no doubt otherwise
injured internally. Dr. Colburn was
called and the man was placed on a
stretcher and carried to the depot and,
accompanied by DR.. Colburn, Jack Nc
