SAW VISIONS OF DISASTER
Strange Tales Of Premonition That
Are Absolutely Known to
Be True.

Whether one believes in the occult
or not. ne frequently hears or reads
tales OF a premonition OF disaster by
person closely related by ties OF
blood or friendship 10 those in the
catastrophe. A gentleman was out
driving one evening with his two
young children. The horse became
frightened at train and in the e1-
element the younger child was
thrown out of the buggy, narrowly
escaping the plunging hoofs- The
mother, who had been at home all the
while, startled her husband by rela-
ting the Incident and narrow escape
Immediately upon their return.
A travelling salesman recently wired
his firm for permission to return to
his home immediately-a distance Of
a thousand miles. The evening be-
fore he sent his request be saw him
self in 4 dream giving medicine to
his child. His request was granted
and he took the first train home. His
child died day after his arrival and
the scene at the bedside and those
present were identical with the dream
that forewarned him of the catasuo-
phe.
1t will be readily recalled that
Caesars wife. Calphurnia, had dream
the night before he was slain that SO
affected her that she almost prevailed
upon him not to 90 to the senate that
day.
On the night the great Alexander
was born the temple OF Diana at Ephe-
sus was burned. The soothsayers pre-
dicted then that the ''scourge of Asia"
had been born. That their prophecy
was fulfilled is a matter of history.

ON TREND OF PRICES.


The recent reduction by the inter
rates on southern lumber to Lincoln.
Omaha and Des Moines Of cent and
a half thousand, IS a car, is a crurnb
to the Iowa and Nebraska shippers and
dealers.
The 800 lumber dealers in Nebraska,
for example, handling $1,000 cars OF
lumber annually, will each pay out
5000 less freight each year. but the
amount is too small to be parceled out
and distributed in the form Of lower
prices to the consumers. Curbing
railroad greed and reducing freight
rates Is only part of the battle for
lower prices. But it is the most I'M
portant part. The big interests hand
ling the big things make the trend
upward or downward.
High freight rates means q general
trend toward high prices on everything
whether affected by the transportation
charges or not. When meat goes up,
for example, either without reason OF
arbitrarily, and when this II advertised

discussion Of the situation Of affairs by
Sharp and the agent OF the coal COM
pany and the general superintendent
| OF the railroads over which the coal
was transported. The United States
circuit court Of appeals. on appeal from
a conviction Of violation Of tho anti
trust act, held that there was no law
which required the coal company to
sell its coal to Sharp on the terms
which he prescribed, or to sell to him
at all. It. had the right to fix the
prices and terms on which II would sell
1t, to select its customers to sell to
some and refuse to sell to others. to sell
to some at one price and on one set Of
terms, and to sell to others at another
price on different set OF terms" An
examination of the evidence convinced
the court that it was insufficient to
show any illegal act on the part OF the
railroad companies or their officers,
and as against the contention that
there was at least q conspiracy be-
tween the coal company and its own
agent. it was said that 1t required the
union of two or more persons and their
conscious participation In order to con-
stitute an unlawful combination. and.
as the corporation acted only thru its
agent. this could not be done by the
thoughts and acts of the agVlt alone.
The case IS reported in 173 Federal Re

supreme court of Oklahoma passes on
the validity Of statute forbidding the
advertising for sale or soliciting the
purhase of Intoxicating liquors within
the state, Notwithstanding the liquors
themselves are kept for sale without
the state. The court held that, as the
Wilson Act withdrew Intoxicating
liquors to a certain evtent from the
protection of the interstate commerce
clause of the federal constitution and
made them subject TO the police power
of the state, the statute In question
was valid, but that it could not be in
voked by injunction TO restrain publi-

Of nuisance, as an adequate remedy

and the acts complained Of could not

The greatest thing about Roosevelt
is that after he has made his blood
bespattering onslaughts on what he re-

a position to retire laughing and I'M

at the bullying abdomen of stagnation

hA1Hno,s SENTENCE.

"Nathoo," a Hindu seer" who has
been living on the credulous in Des
Moires was sentenced to twenty years
Imprisonment the other day on convic-
ton Of criminal relations with a
young girl An application for a new
trial was denied and the sentence
stands. Some OF 'rNathoo's' clique are
complaining of the length of the time
assigned him in the penitentiary. To
this one OF the jury who convicted him
replies that it should be twenty years
or acquittal; that II he is guilty he
didn't get more than he deserved and
the jury found him guilty.
It is an unanswerable rejoinder and
a principle laid down for the guida nee
OF other juries. One Of the serious
faults Of the jury system is the ten
dency to compromise, to modify YER
dict against proved and established
RuHt in the fear that under a remotest
possibility of mistake an innocent
man may suffer and go beyond
fully established fact In the fear that
guilty man may escape. Consequently
we see short sentences for heinouS
crimes not proved beyond reasonable
doubt and sentences cut in two when
heinous crime has been thoroughly es'
tablished.
No man should be deprived of his
liberty and branded as feion excep
upon facts entirely established beyont
any reasonable doubt, and when CURL
II proved the sentence should ht IN

the UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANT.

The hole in our immigrant laws had
a striking illustration in New York
criminal court few days ago. Be-
fore a Judge named Swami We're ar
raigned number of prisoners indicted
for offenses ranging from murder 20
petty larceny. All Of them had the
appearance of foreigners OF low type,
and most of them We're poorly dressed
and apparently had little knowledge
of the proceedings. There are fair
samples" Judge Swami said, of the
criminals that the courts Of this coun-
try have to deal with al me present
time" Then he went on 10 the jury as
follows:
They are assisted TO come mere be-
cause 1t IS cheaper for the European
government 10 send them than support
them In the,old country. They commit
all kinds OF crime. Some have noa
intelligence enough to make themselves
understood Yet some persons oppose
legislation which would enable the
courts 10 send back such characters
as these. We have TO support them all
their lives. probably az the expense OF
the government. 1 say this IN the
presence OF you Jurors because you are
representative citizens and this IS an
Illustration of the burden You have u

one in Sing Sing prison or at some
other institution, and We go on pay
ing 1t probably for the rest of their
lives. II Is a heavy burden on US /
wish you gentlemen would observe for
yourselves the reason our courts arc
crowded"
Judge Swami did not neglect 10 add,
what We an are glad IS the truth. that
the great majority Of foreigners make
good, desirable citizens, and that for
this class OF iulmt grants there is plenty
of room in the United States. The
complaint is that so many that are
undesirable come in with the desirable

The law also provides for the de-

period Of three years OF their arrival
are found to be a charge on the com
rnunity. That three-year period OF
probation would seem to be pretty
strong provision. yet 1t seems from
the case in point that 1t falls short.
It Will occur that Judge Swami
and other Judges might we'll inquire
whether some of the trouble is not
with the courts If justice were more
swift and certain In this country, II
might not be such a fair haven for

things must be matters of common
