HIGH TIME. ‘The Linocoln Chief of Police After 3 Barnell, the Beastly: The Lincoln Journal yesterday says: At a late hour last night information was filed before Judge Parker against the man Barnell, whose exploits were Yrintnd' in this paper yesterday morn- ng. The judge issued a warrant for his arrest, and Chief Byer loaves this morning for Council Bluffs to secure the prisoner. It 1s supposed that he will return without a requisition, but if he declines to do 8o, the chief will remain in Council Bluffs until the document 18 obtained and forwarded to him. As will ba seen by an ar- ticle in this moroing's paper, Barnell has been lodged in jail by the Council Bluffa authorities. The slight resoarches of our re- porter Tuesday did not fix the iden- tity of Barnell, but it s known now that he and his family have lived here several years.

'We have not heard of any railroad fian making money any faster on stook divi- dends than js usnal for furniture wmen, grocere, bankers, firmers and manufactur- ers to make or honestly expect to make on like investments in their legitiwate busi ness,-~Lincoln Journal. The editor of The Journal, Mr. Gere, has aiways been troubied with defective hearing. He was chairman of the committee on resolutions at the late republican state convention, and he failed to hear a couple of impor- tant resolutlons introduzed and sub- mitted to his committes. His deaf- ness on that occasion cost the republican party several thousand votes. And now be makes it a matter of record that he hes heard of nothing more than a legitimate profit resulting from divi- dends on railruad stock. Whether the holder of railroad stock realizes more than a reasonable profit, depends largely upon circumstances. It is o fact that there is scarcely a road in the country whose atock is an honest indication of the actual cost ot the road. If a merchant Invests $10,000 in business and realizes $1,000, he eatimates his profits at 10 per cent. A railroad costing $20,000 per mile may issue stock to the amount of $60,000 per mile, and because this stock pays » dividend of but 7 per cent, these fellows who can't hear well contend that railroad stock does merchandlsing. If the issuance of railroad stock was limited to the exact cost of the road snd mnot pui through 80 many watering proceeses it would be an easter mavier to determine whether or not the investment re- alized a fair return, But just so long a8 one dollar is expected to do the work of four, féllows with an eccen- tricity in their hearing will be enabled to indulge in pettifoggery and call it argument, —{Schuyler Sun, 5 ——— e THE ELECTRIC LIGHY. A Teet of the Storage System Made in New Yoriz. Special to the Post-Dispateh, New York, December 20,--The first publio experiment in this with the Brush storage system o lighting by elestricity has been mads in the rooms (f the Brush-Swan Kiec. tric Light company. Many distin- gulshed electricians were presont, A battery of twenty-four cells was charged with power from the ordinary street circuits of too Brosh company. Twenty-seven Swan lamps were kept burning for five hours by the eloc- tricity thus accumulsted. The stor- age hattery consists of a box contain- ing cells in each of which aro lead plutes, The plates are eleccrically treated and immersed in acidulated water. The battery exhibited last evenlpg was provided with an auto- matic switch, attached so which was a meter. The switch automatically reg- ulated the charge of the storige bat tery, and the meter registered the amount of current used. The lights used were equal t one of the big lights on the circuit that supplies the lamps between K'izabuth street and the Grand Central depot. Mr, C. F Brash explained the operation of the m to the visitor, It 1s declared at the storage system possesses a great advanuage over the eystem of lighting DIRECTLY BY POWER generated from dynamic machines, With the storage system every con- sumber of light has his reservoir of rlmtriuity on his own promises, A stopping of the machinery at the con- tral station would not put out his lights, It ls also said that the lights furnished by the storage battery are absolutely steady,while those supplied directly from the dynamo machine are nt, Atthe exh | on adynamic ma. chine of about one horse-puwer was run by power from a atorage battery. Tho twenty-seven lights in little glass lobes burned brightly and steadily. {r Edwin Eiostein, the president of the Brush company, said it wis now prepared to supply Swen lamps for factory, store or domestic use, who wore present seemed to be pleased with the result of the exhibi dod, ‘What Three Applications Did. 1 was troubled very much with sore foet, Z2%rec applications of Thomas' Ecleo tric Oil entirely cured them, Nothing bet- ter in the market,” Jaoob Butler, Read- ing, Pa, not pay es well on the investment as| All |5 BURNED MAJL.
