The planet Mars Is preparing to show
himself again during the winter in one
of the "oppositions" for which he has be-
come famous.
His red disk viii CLEAN like a battle
lantern over the fields OF strife. and
many an eye will be lifted from the
trenches and the trampled snow TO that
lurid portent in the midnight sky.
There seems TO have been no reason
other than its suggestive color for, the
selection of this planet as the celestial
symbol Of the wnr god. Yet it was uni
versally so regarded In ancient times.
If we could tell why Mars is red we
might hit upon the whole secret OF that
strange planet. Its color is probably due
TO some peculiar quality OF it's soil. II
may be principally composed Of material
resembling our red sandstone or It may
be stained red by an abundance of iron
in its rocks.
Omaha daily bee., 1915-12-29

The approach OF Mars toward the earth
will not. on this occasion, be very close
the two planets will be some sixty mil
lion miles apart. but on the other hand,
Mars will be well situated in the sky for
observational purposes. Its northern
hemisphere. which is the least known,
will be the one presented most conspicu-
ously to view.
The idea of trying to communicate with
the inhabitants OF Mars is sure to be put
forward again. especially In view of the
recent achievements of wireless tele-
phony.
It is now perfectly certain that we
can send electric waves. bearing signals
and capable of reproducing the sounds
Of the human voice, completely around
the world.

There is a considerable number OF
people who fear that they will not be
credited with possessing superior intel
ligence unless the ideas they put forth
are essentially different from those
previously given to the public. OF perhaps,
even directly contrary to what has been
commonly accepted.
With them originality-no matter what
sort of thing 1t Is that they originate
Is a symptom OF genius. Hence Il comes
about that the world OF ideas Is flooded
with all sorts and descriptions Of nov
elites We have. therefore. what is known
as the new though, and the new theology,
the new art and the new morality
To believe substantially as people have
been for a long time accustomed TO be-

OF she unthinking or even OF detectives.
And now DR.. Krehbiel OF Leland Stan
ford university has been RECALLING the
conference of Clark university people
at Worcester. Mass. with another brand
new doctrine which he calls the new ma
tionalism.
He says OF Il: "The time will come
when II will be 90 patent and will
have so influenced public thought that
nationalism will be recognized as an
old wine bottle not fit 10 hold the new

organization and cooperation in har-
mony with life viii be demanded"
His idea appears 70 be that a man Is
constitutionally international. and that
he is 80 universal in his interests and

Alleged Treasure
Box Recalls Hunt
for Money Of Hermit

BROKEN BOW, Neb., Aug. @-(spe-
cial. 1.-The recent discovery, at the old
Fullhart place, sixteen miles west of An
selma, of a strong wooden box that had
been pried open and which suggested pre-
viously concealed treasure, calls TO mind
the murder of George Fullhart and the
subsequent arrest and conviction of his
alleged murderer, William Oxley. Full
hart was unmarried and known as n
hermit. He was supposed to be wealthy
and there was a report current that he
had all kinds Of money buried near his
house.
The discovery Of Fullhart's body one
day along the line of fence with its skull
crushed in by hammer which lay
nearby. caused the county officials to
look for william Oxley a young man
who had been working for Fullhart. but
Oxley had disappeared and it was some
time before he was located. Lester Kirk
patrick was the prosecutor for Custer
county at that time and ELI Armstrong
the sheriff. The latter did some clever
detective work on the case and was un-
firing In his efforts to land the murderer.
He spent busy days on the trail and
finally succeeded In running Oxley down
IN the nelRnDOFnOOu OF Lexington, max
ing the arrest on December 8. 1900. Oxley
was brought TO Broken Bow and tried
before II. NJ. Sullivan. Although Oxley
never admitted his guilt, the circumstan-
tial evidence against him was strong and
Jury found him guilty of murder In
the second degree. He was sentenced to
the penitentiary for twenty-six years on
February %, 1901. little under two
months from the time of his arrest.
There was much speculation at the time
of the trial about alleged buried treasure
and 1t Is stated that many ranchmen
went covertly to the place to dig for It.
Many thought that when the prisoner
had served his term he would return for
tho money. Oxley left the penitentiary
some time ago. This summer some
ranchmen going over the old place found
a hole twenty feet from the cave and a
strong wooden box that, Judging from
the rust inside, had contained a metal
box about two feet square. The box was
lying near the hole and the lid had been
pried off. The hole had originally been
marked by being filled with ashes. Evi-
IDENTIFY, whoever secured the contents of
the box knew right where to look for II.
The old adobe house in which he lived
is now in ruins. but the uncanny
M .nories of the place will live as Ions
as there is an old settler In that part of
