Fremont, Neb., Jan. 29.-One
Of the severest storms that ever
visited the vicinity prevailed
here last night. Signs were
blown down, bulletin boards
smashed and many branches
blown off trees. The iron stack
of the Fidelity laundry was
blown down carrying a part of
the south wall with it. The
Northwestern held up their
trains last night on account Of
the weather. Telegraph wires
were down east of the city and
the telephone company had
many phones out of commission
At Rawhide side track, east of
Fremont an old box car which
was doing service as a station,
while a telegraph office was be-
ing built was blown on to the
main track and a special freight
collided with it, derailing the
engine. The storm was so se-
we're that the engineer was UNI
able to see the car.

Chinese Had Taximeters


London, Jan. 29An inter-
esting piece of work has just
been accomplished at the en-
cheering laboratory Of Cam
bridge university. DR.. Giles,
professor of Chinese, recently
came across specifications of a
vehicle with a distance measur-
ing piece of mechanism attach
ed to it of a kind which had
been in use in China so long
ago as the Chin dynasty, A. D.
1865.
The specification of this an
cient taximeter is of consider
ably later date, being about 900
years old, and is so clearly ex.
pressed that Professor Hopkin-
son has been able to construct
a working model from a trans
lation of the specifications.
The vehicle is a kind of chariot
and registers distances with
considerable precision and re-
cords them by the beating of a
drum at each Ii, or Chinese mile
and the ringing of a bell at
every completion of ten miles.
A Ii is about third of an
English mile.

SLAUGHTER OF DUCKS.
Wall Lake Thronsed With Hunters on
Opening Day Of Season.


Special to Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, Sept. At is doubtful If
a greater slaughter Of ducks in one day
day ever took place in northern Iowa
than occurred at Wall Lake on the
opening of the shooting season the first
of this week. It Is estimated that fully
seventy-f1ve hunters from various
points in this state gathered at Wall
Lake before daybreak on Sept. / and
opened up a fulisade on the new crop
of teal, mallards and butter-balls.
From every point on the lake. the
commandment began as soon as the
ducks began to fly. BY noon, the ducks
had been either killed or driven away
from the lake. One boat containing two
hunters succeeded in bagging forty
one birds. 1t is reported that in many
instances automatic guns were used,
this increasing the speed of the
slaughter above the old fashioned two
barreled guns. There is reported a
much larger number of birds than US
ual this fall and that teal predominant,
with few mallards. butter-balls and
wood duck, Levi Goats of this city is
reported as holding the record for
chicken shooting in this vicinity so far
this fall, bagging thirteen prairie
chickens near this city.
