Zimman to Put In Second
Transmission Line to
Outwit the Lightning

I. B. Zimman, assistant manager
Of the Nebraska Power company,
discredits the old belief that light
ming never strikes more than once
in the same place.
During the recent series of cleo
trical disturbances, lightning has
interfered six times with the power
transmission line which supplies the
municipal ice plant at Twentieth
street and Poppleton avenue.
In connection with his public re-
lations' work, Mr.. Zimman called
on General Manager R. B. Howell
of the Metropolitan water district
to assure that official that the Ne
braska Power company will exert
every effort to eliminate as much as
possible Interruptions in the opera
ton of the plant. Mr.. Zimman's
suggestion was that a secondary
transmission line be installed to the
plant, this line to be connected with
another circuit, so that an emergency
feed line will be available in case of
trouble with the regular transmission
line.
"We intend to do everything we
can to give the best service possible
to this ice plant which is a public
institution and the operation of
which in hot weather is of vital i'm
portance," said Mr.. Zimman. 1--WE
cannot control the pranks of light
ming, but we can improve the serv-
ice by installing a double transmits
sion line"

M ure. Speaking as we'll as eating,
to say nothing of appearances, de-
pend upon it.
Neither of these queer details,
however, seemed to lead to anything
at the moment. They only awak-
ened in me a suspicion OF something
lurking in the shadows, something
that lent more mystery to the al
ready mysterious question how and
why and through whom Henderson
met his end.
With this much of preamble l

sons bedroom, the rigorous SIM
plicity of its furnishings, contrasted
so strangely with the multitude of
clothes and shoes, and the manner
of its communication with Mrs.
Manderson's room. On the upper of
the two long shelves on which the
shoes were ranged | found, where
| had been told | should find them,
the pair of patent leather shoes
which Henderson had worn on the
evening before his death. I had
glanced over the row, not with any
idea of their giving me clue, but
merely because it happens that |
am judge of shoes, and all these
shoes were of the very best work
manship.
But my attention was OF once
caught by little popularity in this
particular pair. They were the light
est kind of lace-up dress shoes, very
thin in the sole, without toe-caps,
and beautifully made, like all the
rest. These shoes were old and
we'll worn; but being carefully pol
ished and fitted, as all the shoes
were, upon their trees, they looked
neat enough. What caught my eye
was slight splitting of the leather
in that part of the upper known as
the vamp, a splitting at the point
where the two laced parts of the
shoe rise from the upper. 1t is at
this point that the strain comes when
tight shoe of this sort is forced
upon the foot, and it is usually
guarded with strong stitching
across the bottom of the opening.

leather below had given way The
splitting was tiny affair in each

Silver Is the Life Saver

The high price Of the white metal
has been the salvation of many west
ern mining districts.
In combination with gold, copper
and lead ores, the profits on silver
have kept mines working
The mysterious white metal was dis

In 1895 silver production exceeded
gold and the free silver issue OF 1896
became predominant

materialize until 1889.
