r . 13 THE STRIKING SWITCHMEN. Forty B, & M. Men Go Out On Acconnt of & Non-Union Man, GRAIN DEALERS [IN SESSION, They Consider the Laws Governing Them Passed Ry the Late Legis- lature—Doings in Supreme Court—Lincoln News, [FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.| The strike made by the switch and yardmen of the B, & M. does not promise great results for the strikers, The claim is made that they quit work because one Sheridan was promoted to be night yard master out of the line of promotion; that he had been a conductor and should have been promoted in another direction. This 8 the ostensible excuse for the strike, but the real one is understcod to be that Sheridan is not a union man, such as they desire in places of authority., About forty-cight went out. As fast as they apply they are given time che and notified that their services are no longer in demaad. While the strike may be said to be still on it has given the com- panv very little inconvenience and traflic has not boen intercepted. GRAIN DEAL The grain dealers of just concluded a meeting at Lincoln. One hundred and fifty delegates were p res- ent, representing over 500 elevators. The bills passed by the legislature at its last session received attention. It will be re- membered that the law forbids poolin and the association perfected an orga gation in conformity to the provisions of the new law. The grain dealers have a mutual insurance company for their own protection. The high rates charged by insurance companies led to its organiza. tion. The report of the officers indicates that it 18 in a satisfactory condition and that insurance has been secured up to date at a much lower rate than hereto- fore. The organization has been made permanent. LINCOLNITES AT CRETE, The number of Lincoln people sojourn- fnt the Crete assembly is larger than ight have been expected.

A well known resident of Sioux Falls was out driving in the country one day last week, says the Dakota Bell, While coming bick and about four miles from the city, a heavy wind came up. To the well known resident it looked cyelonish, and he drove up to the first house. He went in and found three or four ladies, who were alone in the house and some- what frightened, “There is no (|x|l|f'f'r lad! I assure you.

DR. DE BAUSSET'S BALLOON, The Monster Air €hip With Which He Hopes to Navigate to the Poles WHERE THE CRAFT WILL STOP. How the Inventor of the Vacuum System of Aecrostation Looks and Talks When in His Sanctum, “My great air-ship, ‘De Arctic Ex- plorer,’ vill start to travel to de nort' pole naix Sune, posseteef,’’ said Dr. De Bausset to a reporter for the Mail who called to see him about his grand scheme of aerostation. “He vill go 120 miles de hour in alti- tude five miles aboyve de airt', or de leemeet of respirable air. Look at him,"” and the inventor pointed to a big chart on the wall, where a long eylinder with conical ends was painted in bright red. Along the side was a faithful representa- tion of a woodshed roof gaudily painted blue, ‘“‘Dat ees de veeng of de aero- plane. Dat vill keep de ship in one plane, wslso prevent him to fuall to de ground. Along de aige of de veeng is a gutter to catch de rain and prevent him to fall on de passengers.

Mr. De Buaussot claims, however, that Fair- burn’s for ‘a proves that the cylinder can stand the strain. This formula read; Let L equal the length, D the diamete: and T the thickness of the tube, and P the collapsing pressure; then P equals 9,672,000 into T over L D. ‘This settles the (uestion conciusively. The eylinder 1s to be lh\ ided into oir- tight compartments so that if the navi- gator wants to point the ship’s nose up- ward to ascend on an incline plane, the air is pumped out of a forward compart- ment. If he wishes to descend on an i cline plane all he has to dois to puil the cork out of the compartment and grace- fully float earthward.

Dr. De Bausset claims entirc original- for his scheme, on which he has been t work for the last twenty years, but a man, shortly after the sir pump was in- vented, tried the same thing with a globe of thin copper with the result of a col- lapse. The doetor was asked if he had made any experiments, but he “hemmed” and 2" and hually admitted that he had made two, One w a thin s globe which shivered into bits the moment the air was exhausted, and the other was with the globe of an’ incandes- how light it is,”’ exclaimed the duuur. and tried to make it stand on But the little pear-shaped bulb \\uuld topple over just as clumsily as if it had been *‘chuck’’ full of air. The high-sounding appellation of the cowpany of which M. de Bausset is presi- dent, and which is to build this aie-ship, is the Transcontinental Aeriel Nay zu- tion company, and was incorporated with a capital stock of $150,000, at $100 a share, An effort was made to find out how many shares had been taken, but M. de Bausset was very shy about saying any- thing on that score, and declared that he was talking science ji then, If his visitor had come to talk business that would be ‘‘deeflerong.’’ He said, how- ever, that if a person gave $100 or uo 000 he would only get one seat in the air ship, From what he said it was learned that neither of the Farwells, Marshall Field, *'0ld Huteh,” Phil Armour or any other of the prominent solentists of Chi- cago had laid their little all at his feet to aid in the grand cause of vonquering for man the untrodden empire of the air. On the back page of one of the pam- hlets which Dr, sta Bausset gets out he has given to mankind gems of thought, of which the following ure the brightest “Galileo found that the earth rotates and translates’ *“The word ‘impossible’ has been used by eminent authority in regard to many inventions, each of which now isa pro- nounced success,” “Overconiing the attraction by the vacuum instond of gas 1 drive away all the difficulties experienced to travel in the air, passing through the sleet and snow regions where the low temperature; by contracting the gas, expose acronauts to be precipitated hastily to the ground.” ——— Breaking Down and Building Up. When a man breaks down in the mat- ter of phy strengzth, the ques its recovery depends 1n n great measure upon the length of time he allows to elupse before adopting mediei ans to rec perate it. A tonic, which gives a speedy and powerful impulse to the provess of digestion and ass'milation, is the best auxiliary he can employ, and he should resort to it promptly. ‘The most reliable dependence of the feoble, the aged and the nervous, has ever proved to be Hos- totter's Stomach Bitters, an invigorant of national reputation s nd proven worth, commended by medical men of distine- tion, not only for building up a broken- down system, but as a remedy for dy: cpsin, ~ constipation, liver complamt, sver and ague, and Kidney trouble. While not elaimed to be a panacen, it is a most useful and comprehensive house- hold remedy. It is, morever, eminently safe as well as affective. L ——— AN ACCOMPLISHED CAT.

St. Louis Globe-Demoorat: In the ex= citement of mining for the precious me- tals but few people heard of the organiza- tion of the North American Asphalt com- pany almost a year ago, and asaresult its projectors and oflicers have gone ahead unobserved and unknown until now its frienas feel that they are almost on the eve of king public a venture so sue- cesstul that it will be as valuable prova- bly as almost any silver mine in the country. Those interested in it are among the most prominent business men in the city, and for the reason that they have not yet fully demonstrated what they can do they are yery reticent in speaking of their expectations. The property is known as a mine, and con- sists of thirty claims at Thistle station, Utah, about two hours’ ride from Salt Lake City. By right of location, 1f not original discovery, it belongs to St. Vrain Lesieur, a citizen of Mis- gonri, and formerly a traveling salesman for a St. Louis house. His attention was called to the str; rock by the Mor- mons, and examining it he concluded that 1t had some value, and taking speci- mens he brought them here, where they were pronounced asphalt. In the mean- time he located several claims, and later Mr. A. Kricckhaus located several others adjoining, together making thirt, inciuding all the land bearing the’ rock, The company was then organized and the claims turued over to it, and money was at once advanced and prvpnruliuus made to develop the purchase. ‘Those tirst in it were Messrs. Adolphus Busch, Charles Nagel, the Taussigs, Charles O. Baxter, A. Kricckhaus, the Orthweins, Charles Enlerman and August Nedder- hur, with St. Vrain Lesicur, Mr. Busch being president and with Messrs, H, P, Taussig and Charles Nagel constituting the exccutive committee.

Asit is the Egytian asphalt finds a ready market at %120 a ton, the Cuban at £0, and the Trinidad, South Am i, at ¥35 to $40, and they desired to be re- leived of the necessity of paying suc prices. The only relief they had been able to sccure, however, was from the South American mine the product of which, being carried as ballast by re- turning ships, sold more reasonably, lhmwh from being a dull dark color, without any luster, it could not be used for pmnt or vnrnlsh and could only be utlized for vaving and other coarse pur- poses. The St. Louis parties, howeve were determined on managing the prop: erty alone, and, with that end in view, and to prevent any stock trading organ- strong pool, ncluding all of tockholc Since then they have working steadily, have taken out considerable of the rock, developed property completely, and erceted , having mnm-y sull y for the purchuse of the machinery, The dev established the fact Jv]uml in ledges, some which crop out on the surface. the ledg twelve feet thic wd cov- ers almost entire thirty claims. rock is almost blacs, having the appear- ance of asphaitum paving and is very hard, but when broken and taken ous be- comes soft and pasty.

Like most of the most val- uable gold and silver mines, its product threatened to be so refrs ctory that its treatment would be very d.fli- cult and probably unprofitabl The Trinidad deposit is boiled and skimmed, it being necessary to add o1l to the m intreating it, but it was early discove rwl that this treatment would not answer for the Utah deposit. In the latter, nature has provided too great a proportion of naphtha and oil, and some of 1t must be removed. [t was found that when the rock was tuken out it became soft, and that when put through the crusher it be- came very pasty and clogged the ma- chinery. New designs for the latter were made, and tests in a small way have given sach tory results that com- plete machis isnow being constructed in this eity to reduce ten to twenty tons a day, and if that is still satisfactory, then the capacity will be increased from fifty to one hundred tons, In this the rock is dissolved so as to eliminate the sand, and it is then driven into another basin, where the asphaitum and oil are separated, leaving the former pure. It is suid that there isno doubt whatever as to the substance or quality, one of the ledges alone being twelve feet thick, and the only thing to be demonstrated s whether they can save n suffic centage to make it profitable. quality and appearance of the rock the product will be much superior to that of the Trinidad mines and available for many other purposes than pavin, It could, it is claimed, be used for the latter purpose without any treatment what- ever, the only question being that of transportation, as the weignt in sand and oil would be very grezt. A test of its paving qualities is now being made at the Anheuser-Busch brewery, where the pavement at the main _entrance, over which all the heavy hauling is done, will be relaid with this crude material. Mas- tic, a mixture of chalk and sand, with this product, has also been prepared here and laid in the brewery, and been perfectly satisfuctory, becoming as hard us roc FUTURE OF THE COMPANY, The company, s it is now organized has a capital stock of $1,000,000 in # shares, but if the reduction of the rock is satisfactory 1t is probable thatit will be iucreased, and that as un industry it will branch out, making St. Louis the headquarters for asphaltum in this coun- try. \lr Busch has exhibited a groat deal of interest in the future of the prop- erty, and Messrs, Bassett and H, P. T sig have onch made two trips to Thistic Station, and are prepared to forwared the enterprise in any way necessary, The vse of asphaltum has always been more or less restricted in this country, because of the fact that it had to be imported, and nw]mll dealers and men anterested in ihave agreed that if it could be (uund in suflicient quantity in this country the use to which it could be put would be almost without number, There are several new nventions in its use, it is said, which have never become prominent or the inventors of which have never been able to utilize, because of the material and its cost. A number of these arc based on the fact that asphalt is an absolute non-conductor. If the Utah discovery enables the utilization of these inventions, it is said to ve ?vrulmhlo, that it will result in the establishment of sev- eral manufacturing establishments here, as the property is, under no circum- stances, for sale, and the people inter- ested in it propose to hold it in St. Louis, and to dispose of the product here, or from here, s all that will be done at the mine will be to relieve the rock of the sand and oil the useless weight so as to nm]k\- its economical transportation pos- sible i Mother's Smiles the Suntight of Home, There would be fewer clouds and brighter sunsh in many houscholds if every dispirited, suffering woman re- alized what a boon Dr. Pierc “Favor- ite Prescription’ is for all wenknesses and maladies to which her sex is liable. h dy who gives this wonderful rem- edy a trial will be disappointed by the result.
