Chilly Just the Same.

Clearwater, Neb., Jan. 15.-Special
to The News: That cement blocks are
not frost-proof has been proven to the
satisfaction, or rather dissatisfaction,
of the town board. They were con-
fronted with the problem of how to
keep the new chemical fire engine,
purchased last summer ready for a
possible fire, and at the same time
keep the water in it from freezing.
So a small fire-house of hollow cement
blocks from Norfolk was built on
Main street in which to house the en-
CINE and other fire apparatus and the
problem seemed solved until the
recent cold weather began. But it
takes more than hollow cement blocks
to keep Jack-Frost out of a building
that is built on the surface of the
ground, and it has been found neces-
sary to keep fire going night and day
during the coolest weather to keep the
water from freezing.

Demand More Than Covered
Would Make Trains Dry.

Lincoln, Jan. lG.-The riotuus be-
havior of the thousands of men from
all parts of the country, who journeyed
to O'Neill and other points in Nebras-
ka and South Dakota last summer to
register for the Trip county land
drawing, inspired II bill which was in
troduCed in the senate yesterday by
Senator Randall of Newman Grove, the
subject of which is to prevent drunk
enness on passenger trains. Incident
ally, should the bill become a law 1t
will cut out the sale of all kinds of
intoXicants on dining and buffet cars
and will render the man who carries
flask because the change of water af-
fects his stomach. liable to be elected
from the train if he should take nip.
The Randall bill prohibits the drink
ing of Intoxicating liquors in any part
of a passenger train and also forbids
any intoxicated person from getting
onto passenger train. Conductors
are required to remove drunken per
sons from their trains at the first stop
and upon failure to do so they shall
be deemed guilty of misdemeanor
and subjected to line of $40. When
a drunken person is removed from a
train the conductor shall give such
person note stating what portion of
his ticket is unused Notice must be
posted in all cars setting forth the
provisions of the law and the railway
commission is instructed to enforce it.
During the registration rush the
Northwestern road carried trainlOads
of men to the north whose conduct
was reported as absolutely scandalous.
They carried gunny sacks full of bot
tied beer and quart bottles of whisky
onto the cars and within a short time
after leaving Fremont large numbers
of them were beastly drunk. The road
runs through Senator Randall's dis
trict and a great deal of Indignation
was felt there over the way the land
seekers acted.
Two bills were introduced in the
senate relating to the wild animal
bounty. Randall is the author of S.
+. No. 50 which repeats the whole
bounty law, while senate file No, So,
by Fuller allows counties to pay al
bounty where a majority of the cleo
tors vote in favor of it. The state is
to pay no bounty and that by the
counties is to be 10 cents each for
pocket gophers, So for wolves, 81 for
coyotes and wild cats and 81 for noun
tain lions.

How About That Elkhorn Yarn.

Clearwater, Neb., Jan. lG.-Edtor
News DR.. Mackays explanation
about the horse is adequate and leaves
no occasion for further argument, as
he does not attempt to prove the
horse lifts" the load and he further
explains that extra fat on a horse is
of use only as extra weight or ballast
to give the power in the animal more
grip or purchase in starting a load.
The doctor will agree, however, that
his article must have given rather
different impression to some of it's
readers than what he intended to con-
vey or it would not have appeared in
last Mondays News under these head
lines: THE Horse Lifts the Load"

is the local in Thursdays News where
he is quoted as saying in regard to the

four times its original size-the growth
of the river being due among other
causes to the increase of rainfall"
To say that the Elkhorn is four times
as large as it was in early days is
startling, to say the least, to one who
