Sixty Years Ago, Thirty women were on business streets forested. Mother Hubbards. were fined $10.00 up. Terrible, terrible! Some coal was being mined in this section of the state, particularly along the streams. Considerable had been mined near Tecumseh, and a great deal in Nemaha county.

A mining organization had been formed at Brownville and funds subscribed to after the mineral in a big way. I Old soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic of this section, and some of them with their families, had attended the annual state reunion at Fremont. Some drove through with covered wagons, and all camped out and did their cooking over campfires. The paper stated some sharpers were in the county with a patent road grader. And the blooming thing sold at $1,000.00.

It was hoped the county commissioners would not be taken in on the contraption. Jacob Blakeley handed in the following poll taken on a train between Lincoln and Tecumseh: Blaine 63, Cleveland 29, St. John 6, Butler 6. Percy A. Brundage had been promoted to the foremanship of The Chieftain, a deserved advance for he was a faithful and dependable employe.

A. H. Swart was Three men from Nemaha county bought a good sized bill of groceries of E. A. Gray in Tecumseh.

They undertook to take the goods and leave without paying for them. A lively fistic encounter resulted, and Mr. Gray was laid out from a blow on his head. Sheriff W. H.

Woolsey overtook the men on the road, brought them back and the groceries were returned to Mr. Gray. Judge H. W. Brandon chalked $4.80 and costs against each offenders.

It seems points were used in purchasing foods half a century ago. "Cyclone" Davis, populist speaker from Texas, had told the people all about things political in a talk in Tecumseh. The city council had: shut off the water supply, over town for a few days in order to get enough to fill standpipe. A council. John C.

Eugene Schloss, who had operated a clothing store in Tecumseh for two years, was shipping the stock to Hiawatha, and would engage in the business there. Forty Years Ago. Teachers for the seventy-nine school districts in Johnson county had started the year's work. The best we can figure not one of the number is still teaching here or anywhere else. Nebraska was making a fine exhibinat the St.

Louis World's fair, of our people were attending the big show. Frank E. Moore had sold his Tecumseh furniture store to Frank Robertson of Atwood, Kans. A daughter had been born to Mr. and Mrs.

Lee Hazen. Elzie Combs, local farmer and barber, and daughter, Dot, were home from a North Platte. Al Russell was advertising that he was prepared to apples for cider for those desiring. And he sold cider, too, and was it good! Twenty-Five Years Ago Tecumseh schools had opened for the year and the total enrollment was near 500. L.

R. Gregory was the superintendent. Miss Edith Smidt, who had held a clerical position at a station in Yellowstone Park during the summer, had rehome. John Davey of Teturnsch was going to Lincoln where he would study law at the state university the coming. year.

A contributor to had given his solution of how to "Make Willie Wash His Ears." It looked reasonable but probably did not prove a success for Willie still refuses to cleanse that portion of his anatomy. J. H. Rains of Beatrice had secured control of the Tecumseh which had been closed for time. He would reopen the cleansing emporium and wash for the rich and poor alike.

And we hope he made a practice of returning a portion of the laundry each week. Rains seems to fit a washery all right. Fifteen Years Ago. Herman W. Schepman of Tecum- Emma L.

While international collaborationists carry on with their talks on the future of civil aviation the technical advancement of aeronautics is making startling progress. Jules Verne's imaginative tale of "A Trip to the Moon" just as impossible today as it is entertaining, but look into the future of aviation the developments during this war brings some pictures to mind which might have been quite as imaginative a few years ago.

The development of glider technique, jet propulsion and rocket projection, individually may seem unrelated; but in coordinating effect they will play an important part in the advancement of post-war air travel. Even the doodle-bug bombs, which have so harrassed England, may prove contributing factor for future aviation. The multi-motored, high powered war planes of today are towing gliders, which are loaded to a capacity greater than their own carrying power. Their big problem has been on the take-off with a heavy load. Now they have worked out a scheme whereby the "parent ship" has been equipped with jet.

propulsion or rocket projection to augument its motors in taking off with a loaded glider in tow. Once in the air the auxiliary power is not needed and these loads can be towed along at a very low cost per mile. Let's visualize a scene at the Washington air port in and see what travel changes may take place. The public address system blares out with an announcement something like this: "The American Sky Express leaves from runway number six. Passengers for Chicago please load on the red glider; those for Omaha, please load on board the white glider; through passengers for Los Angeles will please get aboard the blue glider." Down on runway number six, there is a large parent ship, with a string of the colored gliders stretched out behind it, and its warming up for the take-off.

motors, "sky-train" moves off, and gathering speed trundles smoothly down the runway as the pilot opens the throttles of his main engines. Suddenly twin sets of straw-colored flame spurt out from under the wings. The whole accelerates and almost immediately becomes air-bourne under, the extra impulse of its rocket ejectors. Until the pilot reaches air-lane height the jets are kept burning, but they are shut off for level cruising. After leveling off the motors- are able to drag the train of gliders with a minimum of strain and fuel consumption.

Guided by radar, held on course through clouds fog and kept clear of other air traffic, the train is handed on from one ground control station much as the trains are dispatched' by the railroads. The skipper of the aerial convoy keeps in contact with his glider pilots over the tow line intercommunication telephone. Approaching the Chicago airport -up-wind-and permission to land having been obtained from the port I dispatcher, the skipper gives the to "slip" the tailing red colored glider. The glider dips smoothly toward the aerdrome and lands. It is then hauled up to the disembarking ramp where it unloads its cargo of passengers, freight, or what-have-you.

By the time the first glider is towed to the ramp, the other portion of the sky- train is out of sight and well on its way to Omaha, the place where the next glider will be "peeled off." Even more dramatic is the scheme to pick up gliders enroute, which is being worked out with more than ordinary promise of success. Facing up-wind. the glider has its tow line extended forward in a large loop over two light supporting posts. Swooping steadily over it, the air liner hooks its tow-line into the loop. The initial overload causes the tow -line from the liner to pay out against resistance of a friction winch.

Smoothly the glider accelerates to join the train. As the strain on the tow -line reaches its peak the sky-train engineer will again turn on his rocket jets until the train has reached operational height. This is the story of airtrains to come -made possible by technique developed in the war. Another idea is being worked upon. That of equipping each glider with its own auxiliary rocket or jet.

propulsion unit in the tail to used in emergency correct an undershot landing or to give added acceleration when being picked up to ioin the train. The possibilities are fascinating; the saving of time and fuel by eliminating intermediate landings of the parent air liner is extremely important in cutting costs and saving time. After this war is over we will have many skilled pilots and men who have become air-minded and "air conditioned" to operate such lines of travel. There are hundreds of glider pilots skilled enough to "set you down" at your destination without even the slightest jar. The motors developed for long-range bombing of the enemy will supply plenty of and range for the parent air liner's.

We will undoubtedly have -trains as big and as safe as our surface' trains not too long after the war. W. Lee Allen, auto insurance. MIDWEST LIFE INSURANCE CO. Oscar Douglas, Agent, -Dr.
