A radical change has been made on
the Wyoming division in the handling of
locomotives and henceforth these
machines will be sent out in regular
turn Instead of each engineer having
one particular engine hereafter he will
take the engine alloted to him by this
system of rotation Certain engines
will be used for passenger work and
heavy or light engines will be used ac
cording to the needs of the situation
but in the main the system of first in
first out will be followed It is not
anticipated that this arrangement will
meet with the approval of a majority of
the enginemen The company has not a
sufficient number of engines however
and the change will make them more
rapidly available and really save the
purchase of a number of new engines
Just now locomotives are more expensive
than ever besides the difficulty in get
tins orders filled so that it is not par
ticularly strange that the company
should employ the expedient outlined
above Alliance Times Oct 21st

milk is susceptible to odors so it at

The Statement of Judge Welty
To the voters of tho Fifth congressional
district
It is ovident from some of tho insinua
tions and innuendoes contained in some
of the democratic papers in this congress
ional district that an attempt is being
made to cause the peoplo to believe that
Judge Norris was guilty of fraud in ob
taining the office of district judge the
first time he was a candidate for that
position In making this charge they
appear to bo partially influenced by
friendliness to me and appear to have
sympathy for mo on account of my hav
ing been as they charge fradulently
cheated of the office I am not
willing that I should be made a tool of
for tho purpose of pulling Democratic
chestnuts out of the fire or for bolster
ing up a weak cause especially when
such charges contain dishonorable insin
uations against a man whom I believe
to be upright and honorable
At the time of the election in 1895 I
was holding tho office of district judge
of the Fourteenth judicial district hav
ing been elected to that position as a
populist and in the campaign I was
renominated by the populists as their
candidate for reelection
I think I know more about that cam
paign and the contest that followed than
any of the present accusers of Judge
Norris In that election I honestly be
lieve that I was elected and chore is no
doubt but what Judge Norris was
equally honest in tho belief that he was
elected and it is not to be wondered at
that an election so close as that should
result in a good deal of bitterness in the
contest which followed In that con
test we wore both looking for fraudulent
votes that might have been cast for the
other party and for irregularities that in
law would be fraudulent and illegal
The opponents of- Judge Norris are
trying to make capital out of a change
in the vote in Union precinct Furnas
county It was evident from the can
vass books that some one had changed a
cipher into a six and this change oc
curred in Judge Norris vote When I
discovered this change I was honest in
the belief that it had been made fraud
ulently and intentionally Subsequently
two members of the canvassing board
made affidavits stating that this change
had been made by them and stating
that the same was an honest and inno
cent mistake which they corrected on a
recanvss of the vote of that county
This recanvass was brought about by
me on an application in the supreme
court against the canvassing board an
action in which Judge Norris was not a
party and in which the canvassing
board signed a stipulation expressing a
willingness to recanvass the vote if
given authority to do so by the court
This error was of course as much a
fraud against me in law if done inno
cently and by mistake as though done
purposely and fraudulently This error
however was corrected before the cer
tificate of election was issued and Judge
Norris received no benefit from this
change which was made by the canvass
ing board without the intention of harm
ing anybody It is also due to him to say
that he never claimed these fraudulent
votes but always frankly admitted that
they should not be given to him and as
a matter of fact they were not given to
him and he received absolutely no bene
fit therefrom
There were many charges of fraud
made both ways in this fight and contest
which followed but there is no doubt
but what Judge Norris went through it
all in an honorable and Upright manner
and that he came out of it without any
dishonor or disgrace and after a full
investigation of all tho charges that
were made pro and con and running
them down to the end I am fully con
vinced and satisfied that at that election
Judge Norris was fairly and honestly
elected
At the expiration of the judges first
term he was renominated and at that
election the same charge was made by
the Democrats against him and the
campaign was f ought out on that issue
alone the matter was fully discussed by
the people and the newspapers of that
district and as a result of much investi
gation and discussion Judge Norris ran
1100 votes ahead of his ticket and was
re elected while the district was carried
by an overwhelming majority by the
fusionists
For four years Judge Norris practiced
law constantly where I was presiding
judge and I never knew him to be
guilty of a dishonorable or unprofess
ional act
He lived in this district many years
and is perhaps better known than any
other man in the district and the peo
ple know him to be a man whose honesty
is unquestioned and whose moral char
acter is absolutely unassailable They
will resent as they have done before re
gardless of politics any attempt to in
jure his fair name or to detract from his
well earned and good reputation

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
Among tho books lately received is
Mr Spearmans now novel DrBryson
Tho sceno is laid in Chicago Tho
doctor is a specialist in oyo and ear
disoases and tho interest throughout is
held by realistic descriptions of wonder
ful operations to restore sight as well as
by the purohigh character of the heroine
She although deserted by a worthless
husband and struggling to support her
self and little daughter refuses to be
divorced and resists all temptations to
free herself and marry tho doctor in
spito of tho fact that ho has restored the
little girls sight and frequently placed
her under obligations to himself and
also in spite of tho fact that they aro
vpry much in love with each other In
the end however the renegade husband
dies and the generous impetuous doctor
and the true good woman live happily
over after
Another book worthy of mention on
our shelves is The Yirginian by Owen
Wister This is a story of western life
on the cattle ranch with the cowboy as
tho central figure He was a Virginian
by birth and his soft drawling voice his
magnificent physique as well as his
power to manage men make him a fasci
nating character The book abounds in
western humor as expressed in the dance
and in the chapter called In a State of
Sin when the Virginian routs tho ob
noxious missionary Lynch law is also
explained This is not only a readable
book but an absorbing one
Many new juvenile book3 are among
the late arrivals
The interest iD the library seems on
the increase and the only wonder is
how we lived so long without one
