MUST REMAIN ON TICKET Roosevelt and Bryan Cannot With draw From Nebraska Contest. Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 7.—Theodore Roosevelt and W. J. Bryan may be running for the presidency, at least in Nebraska, unless they get busy and check a movement now under way. The Roosevelt primary petition was filed ten days ago by John O. Yeiser, an Omaha attorney. Another Omaha man, A. A. Arter, invaded the Nebraska statehouse and filed a petition, including the required twenty-five names, making Bryan a candidate before the coming April primary. What Roosevelt and Bryan can do about it is something of a puzzle. Sec retary of State Wait has handed down the novel ruling that neither Roose velt nor Bryan can get off the primary ticket unless the petitions are with drawn by the men who made the fil ings.

One Dexterous Thrust Through the Animal's Head by an Expert Work man Ends Consciousness—How the Carcass Is Skinned and Dressed. The easiest way you could possibly think of is the way sheep tire killed in the pack lug houses. Most persons inis tuUeuly imagine that I hey a"re treated horribly utid see in their minds a bloodthirsty man, with shoulders like hams, standing over poor, defense less sheep with a bludgeon in his hands ready to send the creature straight to the promised land. Kut there is where the sentimentalist goes completely wrong, for if there is an uniinal that is treated right- iu speak ing ot its death-it is the sheep. There is only one thing that doesn't look as though death was absolute pleasure for the sheep, and that is right at the very start of the killing operation. The sheep are driven from the yards up a long chute, and when they enter the pathway a leader sheep puts him *elf at their head to take them up into the killing room. These sheep are trained and are nearly always black so that there will be no mistake made and rhe leader sheep killed This leader takes the animals up the chute to a pen that will hold about fifty sheep. Here a man catches them, two at a time, and shackles them by their hind legs. Thte is the operation referred to as the only one painful to the sheep. The animal Is then swung on to what ut caned the Ferris wheel. This wheel J-. constantly levolving. and as it reach es a renam spot the sheep are trans ferred TO a track from which they At that point CGfe- iLeir suiieriug ceases, for the next workman is the man who kills them. The killing process is one that is ab solutely painless to the sheep. The the mark at which be strikes. With a sharp knife in his hand, he moves down the row of hanging animals, and as he comes to each one he feels of the bead just behind the ears and finds the point where the bones of the bead leave an opening. In this the knife is thrust and goes through the bead of the animal, completely severing on both sides a large artery. The sheep is killed instantly. Five hundred sheep can be handled every hour at this point They are then "pated," an op eration that consists of skinning the fore part of the bead and the neck. The next workman cats through the hide on the breast and skins Just one spot below the neck. The fore legs are then broken and cot off to be sent to the bone room. The faet that theve is a time for ev erything and one man to do just his part and no more is emphasised In the abeep room when one sees Jost c»ie hind leg skinned by one man and- the other skinned In an entirely different operation. The sheep Is then pot on what is called the endless cteun. This chain consists of hooks at intervals and is constantly moving, making the rounds of the room in about twenty minutes. Along this chain are the workmen, and as the sheep is passed on to them by the chain they do their work and wait for the next carcass. After the two bind legs have been skinned the back is partly skinned and the animal is passed on to the next man who is called a "pelter." He grasps the pelt Just above the hind less. and. with a few deft twists of it, it is pulled off and the sheep passed on to the next workman. After being skinned the sheep are carefully washed and wiped, a new towel being used on every animal. An endless chain is in progress here also, for when a towel Is used It is thrown Into a vat of boiling water, washed and put into a drier to be used over and over again. After the animal has been washed the bead Is taken off and the neck washed in the same manner as the rest of the carcass. The gov ernment inspector then gets it, and it is subjected to a rigid examination, after which the stamp of approval of the United States Is put on. After the head is taken off it is sent to the floor below, where the tongue is taken out and the remainder of it sent to the bone room. There are two ways of dressing the sheep. Some of the buyers Insist on having the caul fat with the animal, while others do not care about it If the fat is desired It is put on the hind part of the animal, covering about one half of the body, and is then split re vealing the carcass shorn of the vis cera. The dressed animals are hung on overhead tracks and put on an eleva tor to be sent to tbe cooling room.— S Louis Globe-Democrat. Ancient Proofreading. Tbe editions of books printed 200 or 300 years ago are almost entirely free from typographical errors, which may be attributed to the fact that early publishers were generally eminent scholars and themselves gave much attention to tbe revision of their proofs. After reading the proofs they frequent ly turned tbem over to other scholars with the request to revise and correct, and as the printer's time was then deemed a matter of small consequence a perfection was attained which Is seldom equaled by modern printers.— tixenange.
