ABUSY DAY AT THE CAPITOL. Workmen Putting the Finishing Touches to the Rooms. YALK ABOUT THE SPEAKERSHIP. A Quartette of Thieves Arraigned— Another Case of Misplaced Con- fidence—Supreme Court News-—Notes. 1020 P Stuee, LiNcoLy, Dec. 20, ‘The day has been a busy one at the state house, A score or more of workmen spent the day retouching and varnishing furnity putting down carpets, decorating walls, and in other ways preparing for legislative and Inauguration excreises, 1t is said that the eapitol will be in apple-pie order by the first fay of the new year.

Superintend ent Davey assured Tie Bre representativ to-day that the finishing touches would be put upon all of the new rooms before the close of the coming week. Old things will look new. Every picce of old furnit in the capitol building will be retouched. There will scarcely be a blemish o be seen in any room. The great cracks in the cast wing will succumb o' the touch of the paperhanger. It is given out that noth- fng about the interior of the building wili 100k shabby or mean.

BPEAKERSHIP GO3SIE, It 18 given out here, whether authoritatively T not 3 has no means f knowing, t dy of Howard is making his canvass for the speakership on the issue f the necessity of a constitutional conven- lon. From this, judgment goes, that Mr. ady seeks to drown many of the minor questions that promise to stir the pchoes during the coming legislative ession. With this end in view it is alleged that Cady desires a caucus of the members of the house-elect of the Third congressional district, to secure concerted action in his interests at the evening fight on organization, Just when or where the cau- cus is to be held is unknown, but itis learned from good authority that letter: ave been written to a number of membe Ni'('unly suggesting and urging this move, r. Gilehrist, of Box Butte, said wkhile here the other day that such a caucus would be held, but he knew not where. The speaker ship cauvass in this propenquity grows warm from day to day. Rhodes of Pawnee, is the latest. He is understood to have a warm feeling for Majors, and his candidacy g regarded as the reserve force of the Laxcor N BunsAv or Tie Ovana Bag, } apprecia emaha statesman. Lt amounts to hothing. “The gentleman,” said one of the best in- formed representatives-elect to-day, “has no more knowledge of parliamentary law than he has of the bliss of heaven, and he is being used as a common stool-pigeon." Talk as to the speakership remains about the same. Watson, Cady and Dempster are still regarded as the strong candidates. Cald- well keeps McBride in the background. Neither has any carthly show of election, The chances ave that both will pull out of the fight at the first graceful opportunity. Olmstead and Lee hang on the ragged edyge. Baker will probably have some strength. Two or three prominent politicians have re. warked lately that he will bear watching. THEY PLEADED NOT GUILTY. The quartette of thieves captured in Lin-" €oin some time since were arraigned n the district court to-day, and_they entered the plea of not guilty, it is believed, howeyer, that Howard, or Reddy Wilson, as he is bet’ ter known, will weaken when his case comes up for hearing, which will probably bo in a day or two, or before the adjournment of the present term. But the trial of the Quinlans will probably go over until the next term of urt. This precious pair obtained bail. he bond was signed by Quinlan’s brother- n-law, Pat Desmond, of Omaha, and Thomas Carr, MES. WANDS INJURED. A mad runaway took placé on P street at 9 0'clock to-day. One of Liveryman Skin- ner's teams escaped from their driver and in turnjng the corner on P aud Eleventh stroets ran into a team and buggy driven by Mrs. Hanuds, wife of the gentlemanly manager of Max Meyer's music store of this place, up- sotting and demolishing the buggy and throwing Mrs. Hands upon the pavement with such force as to cause her to lose con- sciousness. ‘The lady wus severely bruised, but on examination, the physician stated that her injuries were not necessarily serious. 3ut it was o narrow ascape, and due to the care- lessiiess of the driver of the runawsy team.

A band of the latter had made a sudden atta on a detachment of his men. but fortunately they had a moun- tain howitzer mounted on a mule. Not having time to take it off and put it in position, they hucked up and blazed away at the Indinns. The load was so heavy that the mule and all went tum- bling down the hill toward the savages, who, not understanding that kind of fighting, took to their heels.

Another story which General Sheri- dan was fond of telling at the dinner- table, after the coffee had been served and the ladies had retived, went some- what like this, I am told: There was a zealous chaplain. of the army of the Potomac, who had called on a colonel noted for his profanity to tallk of the religions interests of his men. After having been politely motioned to a seat on the chest the chaplain began: ‘Colonel, you have one of the linest regiments in the arm S believe s0,” said the colonel %in reply. “Do you think.” pursued the chap- lain, “that you pay sufficient attention to the religious instruction of your men?” ¥ “Well, T don’t know. plied the colonel. “A lively interes on awakened in the Massacht the pa went on to say. “The Lotd has bles the labors of His servauts, and ten have already been baptized.” “Is that so?” excitedly ecried jhe colonel, and then turning to the atteud- ant, added: “Sergeant-major, have fif- teen men detailed immediately for bap- tism; 1’1l be blanked if I'll be outdone by achusetts regiment.” - Advice to Mothers, Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should al- ways be used for children teething.

New York Tribun Six attempts at de, four of which were promptly ful, and only one of which seemed to leave any hope of survival, make an extraordinary record for one day in New York Ci Sudden out- breaks of this kind, which are com- monly called “epidemics” of crime, are not infrequent, and are easily ac- counted for on the inciple of imita- tion, which Dr. William A. Hammond discusses in the December North Amer- ican. One crime easily suggestsany other of the same sort to a mind that is overwrought by excitement, and was perhaps weak at the outset; and no crime is so easily sugzested and soread- ily imitated, apparently, as suicide, which does not imply malice toward human being, but only such a de- ‘0o of impatience with the world that sufferer is willing to forget all his ies if he can only escape hi There is the well known histor- 1cal instance of the philosopher who preached suicide so successfully in Alexandria that selfdestruction became fashionable, und the authorities were compelled to send him out of the city. This habit of immitation is undoubt- edly greatly stimulated, as Dr. Ham- mond points out, by the nature of mod- ern life., These six suicides did not take their impulse from each other, n the Alexandrians did, but if the facts could be known it would undoubtedly be found that the minds of all of them had been more or less affected by read- ing about suicides in the newspap and hearing them discussed, The won- derful diffusion of intelligence in these days has its pains as well as 1ts pleas- ures. The crimes of the world, it ma; almost be said, are served up eve morning along with its good decds, its battles, its elections, its debates, its gifts to charity, its railroad disasters, and the thousand and one events of the day.

Engine No. 733 had been especially” re-enforeed at the Altoona shops for the purpose. She was allowed 160 pounds pressure, 20 pounds more than is ordinary allowed. This was not an official test by the com- pany, but was made by the two er ue Surpass classe: ingineers and locomotive say that the larger engines travel faster than the smaller ones. A 63- foot wheel, in other words, is more con- ducive to swiftness than the 53-foot. The larger locomotives will run to v York in fifteen minutesless than ittakes their smaller brethren, provided stops are made. In case of a gr number ¢f stops on the route the en- gine with the 5) foot driving wheel will =show their rears to the larger wheelers. In the thirty four stops be- tween Philadelphin and New York on the Pennsylvania railrond, the smaller locomotive will beat the engines with Gi-foot wheels nearly twenty minutes when each engine is pulling the same weight. All the local trains ruuning between this city and New York are hauled by the smaller wheelers, and malke the distance in about two hours and forty minutes where a stop is made at every principal station along the line. A lavge engine, under exactly the same conditions, could not travel the distance inless than three hours. The reason for this lies in the fact that the smaller wheels can be held under better control than the larger ones and have a greater amount of leverage, be- ing eloser to the ground. It has been estimated that the small locomotives can be stopped in about one-third the time that it takes for the bigger ones. The little fellows also Have the advan- tage of time i getting away from the station, and they can reach their great- est momentum within one minute after the start, while the engines with the 33-foot wheels require two minutes he 5i-foot wheels are also bette apted for grados, and have {ully 15 jer cent better leverage than the G- oot engine, known as class “K.” As u natural consequence, in mountainous districts the former are invariably used. A test of hauling power reveals the fact the tormer can haul fifty londed passenger cars while the big wheels at best only run away with twenty-fiv In rainy seasons the smaller iron horses can make better” time than the engines with the lare driving-wheels, owing to the fact that the wheels of the latter have less loverage and slip more. All tests between: the two kinds in rainy weather hence unfair as re- gards the eapabi of each for the best speed. During wet weather the 53-foot class will travel about five minutes faster per hundved miles. In dry weather, however, the supcriority of engines with the 63-foot driving-wheel, or the cl “K,” is clearly apparent. The 0 o’clock a. m. train which leaves this city for New York is hauled by au engine of class **K,” and runs the distance in about one hundred and fifty minuts The best vossible time that could be made by the smaller locomo- tives, orthe class P, for the same distance and under the same conditions could not be much less than two hour: It has been estimated that class “K’ can travel a mile, with a good load, in fifty seconds. The run on the Pennsyl- vania railroad between New Brunswick and Trenton, a distance of twenty- seven miles, is made by the through trains in twenty-four minutes, or a frac- than fifty seconds per mile. In point of economy the larger en- gines are far ahead. A locomotive with 4 53-foot driving wheel generally weighs about fifty tons and will consume 1,500 pounds iore fuel per trip than the larger engines. The reason for this lics in the greater exhausting power of the smaller engine The larger locomos ver, use more water, and en- find great trouble in gauging ct amount required to run them. 'Le quality of water needed to run a clas; ne,on the other hand, can be ascortained to a pound. This is seen in the different kinds of steam given off by each, The smaller engine has less dampness in its steam, and malkes good use of every pound of water in the boiler, Careful “tests prove that the larger engines are the best for speed and economy, S ettt Tmportant.—Do not let your druggist palm off on you any new remedy for colds, Insist on Dr. Bull’s” Cough Syrup or you will be disappointed. “13ehold the world rests.” Headache and neuralgia have been cured by Salvation Oil, the great and infallible pain-remedy.
