CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY A. W. Macy.
SHAYS' REBELLION.

One Of the most perllous
times In the history Of the
United States was the period
Just after the close of the Revo-
lutIonary war and before the
government had become firmly
established. Every community
was inclined 30 be q law unto
Itself. Even In ruritanical
Massachusetts, there was a lit
tie rebellion against the state
government that looked serious
for a time. II is known as
"shays' Rebellion" taking It's
name from one Of the leaders,
Daniel Shays, who had been a
gallant officer In the War for
independence. The grievances
were, the large salary paid the
governor Of the state, the arls-
tocratic character OF the state
senate, and the burdensome
taxes. The rebellion lasted
from August, 1885, Kill the fol-
lowing February. shays had a
large following, and there were
severaF conflicts with the state
militia. The opposing forces,
however, evidently did not get
dangerously near each other,
for only three men were killed
during the entire war" The
leaders were tried and convict
ed, but were eventually par
doned. shays lived ELL 1925,
and In hls old age was pen
stoned for hIs gallant services
during the Revolution.

 Earl Slippern was out last week mak. ing arrangements for the transfer ot the saw apparatus and the change i, now going on. He will use boiler al ready at Discovery, just moving the saw and carrier, for he intends to move back to Flat in the spring after Dis covery orders are filled.
 The recent announcement of the opening of Discovery claim is respcn sible for the lumber activity, and as sures considerable building and Hume construction on Otter.

With no degree of pleasure it is an. nounced that Flat City will have the electric lights this spring while Idit. arod still goes on inhalng gasoline The arrangements have been about concluded, whereby the plant held by Brumbaugh, Hamilton & Kellogg will be taken over to Flat City and set ul there for operation at an early date.
 Joe Burns, an experienced electrician, is behind the deal and he will operate the plant. He is still negotiating for boiler and engine, and incidentally i looking into the wood, or looking over it, just as you choose.
 The plant has capacity of800 light and the juice will be used in town aud on some of the mining claims. From all appearances this town will be cut entirely out of the illuminant.

That 4. 3. Hall
 Is Sure a Wonder

As was prophesied before the work began, that new social hall built by the Arctic Brothers of Flat is the finest in the country, and great credit to the city. It was finished in time for the big dance, after crowding the carpen- ters somewhat, and the place will un- occasionally be the stage setting for more than one brilliant event ere the Iditar0d has become matter of his tory.
 Its dimensions are so generous that it will take the whole dancing popula. tion of the district to crowd it. Just about 80 feet long and g feet wide, with an imported floor of fir, it come pretty near being the dancer's dream of paradise. Besides. there are the dressing rooms for the ladies as you enter the front door, and above tha' is the balcony where the eats will be served.
 The place sets them back about S5, 900, but they don't mind it for they feel confident of getting their money back by next winter. That makes f good, for in the meantime VIC all have a chance 10 turn ourselves loose or that perfectly good floor.

owing TO the unforeseen and unprece-
denied demand for automobiles in the state
of Nebraska, the branches and agencies Of
the industry located in Omaha are Mt
! the present time eNerting every effort to
secure additional allottments of new cars
from their factories. In nearly every house
represented on Auto Row can be seen
specifications OF machines which have been
tordered by purchasers over the territory
lowered by Omaha
This scarcity of motor cars is due per
haps to the indications at hand of a pros
tperous year among the farmers, who are
NOW reckoned among the heaviest purchas-
ters of automobiles. With everything on the
Yarns Of the state in fine shape, financial
conditions lend themselves to the better

CONVICTED OF
'FALS!FYING
Jos. B. Reichman, Former Head
Of Carnegie Trust Co.
STUNNED BY THE We RDIC
Flnancler Would Have Fallen to
Floor But for Assistance Of
Court Official.
STUNNED BY THE We RDIC

New York, June 30.-Joseph b.
Reichmann, formerly president of the
Carnegie trust company, was found
guilty yesterday of making false
statements to the state banking de-
partment, The jury deliberated an
hour and a half.
When the verdict was announced,
Reichmann, who had entered court
yesterday morning jubilant and conf
dent of acquittal, reeled and would
have fallen If a court officer had not
supported him. Reichmanns case
was regarded as OF fundamental i'm
portance to the tangled situation re-
sulting from the suspension of the
Carnegie trust company and the re-
sulting prosecutions. One of the is
sues of the trial was the entry of a
loan of $4,000 obtained from the
Northern bank for the trust company
by Joseph G. Robin. The statement
to the banking department in ques-
ton referred to the condition of the
Carnegie trust company on August
81 last. Reichmann was found guilty
under the section OF the penal code
which provides that Anyone who
concurs in the making of false re-
port to the state banking department
| is guilty of misdemeanoT. Unless the
court grants the motion for an arrest
of judgment, Reichmann will be sen.
fenced today. Meanwhile he continu-
es at liberty under his $4,000 bail.
The conviction is the first in New
York state Of banker for knowingly
concurring in false report to the
state banking department and carries
possible penalty of $4,000 fine or one
years imprisonment or both. The dis
trict attorney said after the verdict
that William j. Cummins, who is un
der indictment for larceny from the
company, will next be called to trial
and after him former City Chamber
lain Charles II. Hyde, under indict
ment for bribery. Reichmann, wher
he had partially recovered from his
first shock commented grimly; "Yor
never can tell what IL men will do
