From Monilnrfl Dnlly
Despite tho torrid woathor that pro
vallod yostorday afternoon there was a
largo atteudanco at tho baso ball gamo
at tho now park north of tho olty when
tho Plalnvlow aud Norfolk teams en
gaged in a coutost A special train
from tho Croighton branch brought four
coach loads of people and Norfolk con
tributed enough to swell tho orowd to a
thousand ork moro Tho grand stand
was not largo enough by about half to

without paying as thoso who did
Thoro wore many wouiou presont and
their enthusiasm was scarcoly loss than
that of tho nin and boys Tho Nor

spiring music at iutervals
Tho gamo was not closo ouough to bo
of the greatest interest although there
was soiuo excellent playing ou tho part
of both teams Tho battery work of
the Plaluview team was almost faultloss
and oxcelleut support was given by tho
field Tho work of Norfolks battery
was also good but there were some de
cidedly weak efforts ou tho part of tho
outfield aud whon tho Plaluview boys
found the ball it was almost equal to a
score Ohas A Smith of Tilden who

ELECTRIC LIGHT BONDS
Original Stockholder Questions
the Advisability of Voting Them
Nqrkolk July 11 It would seem to
mo very foolish for the tax payers to
voto sixteeu thousand dollars for the
purpose of erecting au electric light
plaut for the city
Ordinarily most people are in favor
of a municipalitys owning Its own
franchises where a service is rendered
the public but this would appear to bo
an exceptional case Public spirited
citizens twelve years ago took stook
for an electric light plaut here Every-
ono couiu snow ou paper wuat an
enormous revenue it would yield
They put twenty thousand dollars into
the plant they sold light to tho city at
a big price ns we believed but it did
uot pay Private consumers wore taxed
for light more the citizens claimed
than any town similarly conditioned
still tho enterprise was a failure Good
help was employed at low figures
and every effort mado to ktep the plant
alive without asking it to pay tho
owners iuterest ou their investment
but in vain The enterprise was a flat
failure The stockholders hoped
agaiust hope but finally lost all they
put iu it After going without interest
for years they sold the stock at about
twenty five cents ou tho dollar
Possibly that amounted to enough to
make them whole on tho iuterest on the
money put in but no more
Would tho city do better now Wo
thiuk not It will cost at least 25000
to put in a plant equipped to perform
the work satisfactorily The iuterest
in tho investment counting wear and
tear and repairs will amouut to 10 per
cent however low the bond iuterest
proper will run That makes 2500
per annum Tho necessary coal will
come to estimated 1500 Even if we
use the water works help and tho en
gineer hasJaBt asked for an assistant
for it alouo now wo will havo to havo
at least one moro man there andn man
for tho streets to care for tho lamps
otc Wo cannot expect to get them for
loss than 1 200 a yoar Hero wo have
au annual investment for the tax payers
to raise monoy on to the tuno of
over five thousand dollar annually
Now why should wo do better than the
old plant did Will moro people take
light Wo think tho past says no In
tho old days tho citizens had not lost so
much money from public spirit Thoy
thought wo would grow as fast as Jack
the Giant Killers beau stalk they wore
booming private proporty and spending
present monoy ou future hopes
Tho old company had no othor
plant to couipoto with They
also had a good revenuo from tho oity
which tho city would not havo AU
this is now chauged If thou tho old
company could not bo mado to pay nny
Interest under such favorable conditions
it looks as If the city would not pay ex
penses by long odds
As a genoral principlo people do not
sock to go into a business that has just
signally failed to produce any profits
We bought the water works at 50 per
cent on tho dollar It was and excel
lent plant water was a necessity tho
consumption Is flvo times ns general as
a fancy light Few people will use the
light at prices high enough to protect
the city Wo will havo a divided
patronage wo will destroy tho plant
uow iu exlstance here
The light the city now has costs it
about 000 a year Wo can get along
with what wo havo If the few people
who are out so much at night waut more
they can furnish it for themselves
eusier than they can pay their extra tax
The plant will bo poor we will havo
dim and broken lamps Last year from
four to flvo thousand dollars was ab
solutely wasted in au attempt to get
artesian water a water that is so
brackish salt and full of mineral that
it would have been unfit for household
use if it had beeu obtained I am not
censuring the old council Some of
them are on this board now and they
probably meant well but that they
made a mistake is clear to every
one Such things will happen They
are more likely to happen with an
electric light plant where confidence
mon can work schemes than iu a
water plant Let us waste uo more
money now Something will come up
that we will all be in favor of and then
we can vote some bonds This issue
would bring us up to our limit again
now aud our bauds will be tied for the
future If wo have money to spare
let us put it in the school fund and get
it out of debt Wo havo big debtB it
included resulting from an extravagant
public spirit already exhibited to
which wo all gavo money Let us
catch up bBfore we put ourselves
out of breath again Let us
masticate what wo havo bitten eff al
ready before we fill our mouths so full
wo cannot shut our jaws
If 15500 will not put in the plaut
and we get half way along how are we
going to get enough to holp us out
Issue city scrip voidable at law as we
have been doing When tho city
treasury gets a surplus iu it and we
want to spend it it may be time thou
to talk of putting iu baths aud light
Iu fact we need the baths worse than
we do the light now
The light we need now is light turn

suffrages of the oitizons ou July 20th

Pens of Dennis McNeil Near the
Creamery Robbed
THE WORK WAS CLEVERLY DONE
Lincoln Blood Hounds Placed on the
Trail and it was Followed to the
Northfork River Where tho Maraud
ers Embarked A Blind Trail Found
From Tuomlnyn Dnlly
A clover sot of thoivos helped them
selves to ton or a dozen hogs belonging to
Donnis AIcNolll at about 3 oclock yes
terday morning taking thorn from that
gentlemans pens near the creamery
whore he has about 100 head feeding on
the refuse of that institution Tho
hogs were young ones weighing 80
pounds apiece and it is thought there
were several men ill the gang that did
the work
Tho disturbance they mado was hoard
by the family of Martiu OMeara liv
ing uearby but up effort wab made to
disturb tho thieves at their work ow
ing to fear that thoy might make
trouble aud as uo one was at the
creamery tho gang had peaceful posses
sion of the field until thou- work was
completed
As soon as tho matter was reported
Ohlof of Police Couley sent for F G
Emmons the Lincoln blood hound man
and when he arrived with his dogs yes
terday they experienced uo difficulty
whatever iu gaiuiug a start ou tho trial
Shoo tracks were plentiful aud ono
place was found whore a member of the
band had taken a seat iu the mud
leaving an imprint ou which no dog
could be fooled It was uo trick for the
dogs to follow the trial to the North
foik river but hero is where the thieves
cleverness foiled the dogs cuuuiug
Every indication went to show that tho
hogs had been loaded in a boat but
where they disembarked had not been
discovered this morning although the
dogs were worked on the trail late last
night and early this morning Across
tho creek a scent was taken up but it
weut only a short distance and then re
turned to tho river The fellow who
made the track dropped his match case
and the dogs siezed upon this and
chewod it to pieces before they could be
stopped The fellow either got out to
mislead the dogs or for purpose of
onnoisauce IS very toot or tne stream
banks will be thoroughly covered before
the search is given up however aud
the trail may yet be taken up How
they could get far without leaving a
trace is aj mystery because the sugar
factory dam on the north and tho mill
dam on the south would necessitate the
boat being unloaded at same point be
tween The officers presume that the
uuloading may have been douo at a
bridge iu such a manner as Jto cover or
confuse the scent It is quite probable
that if thieves were clever enough to
think of the boat scheme to confuse the
houuds they would be equally successful
in unloading without betraying them
selves
It is said that a buggy was driven to
the creamery about 10 oclock Sunday
night aud those it contained looked
over the ground but the two events may
have been entirely separate At least
they have not beeu connected
Some of the footprints left were so
distinct that tho officers think ithey
would be able to convict at least one of
thieves by his shoes alone if thoy but
had au opportunity to compare the shoe
and tho imprint
Late this morning it was thought
that another clue had beeu discovered
but the dogs had not yet beeu started
upon it and it is not known what will
develop until a test is made although
at present it appears as though the
robbers had made good their escapo

THE BOND PROPOSITION
A Voter Replies to Original
Stockholder
Norfolk July 23 Iu yesterdays
News under tho hood Eloctrio Light
Bonds Original Stockholder makoa
au attempt to show tho peoplo of this city
that it will be a mistake to voto tho
bonds To do this ho goes Into figures
to some extent Ho says it now costs
tho olty about 100 per yoar but tho
records show that it costs from 1200 to
1400 per yoar and tho city then haa
only six arc lights and flvo or six oil
lamps
Tho uoxt oBtimato Indulged in is
that the plaut will cost 25000 whilo
parties stand ready to put in a plant up
to dato In every respect within tho
amouut of the bonds The uoxt esti
mate is that tho running expenses will
amount to over 5000 per year while
Fremont with a much larger plaut pays
but 2200 and tho revenue derived
pays all expenses and that too iu com
petition with two independent lighting
plants one gas and ouo electric owned
by private iudividuals Original
stockholder overlooked the iucomo to
the olty from private consumers enough
to pay running expenses then the
whole city will be lighted instead of two
blocks Leaving such matters to bo
investigated by the voters it may not
be out of place to state that tho city has
been paying tho present lighting com
pany 12 per month each for arc lights
but at the last meeting of tho council
the lighting company submitted a prop
osition to furnish the city 30 arc
lights at 0 each per month providing
the city would make a 6 yoar contract
at that rate being one half the former
cost to the city and that too while the
lighting company has been losing money
at 12 You will notice tho lighting
company did not offer to furnish loss
than 30 lights now for a less time than
0 years and not until the call for a
bond election was made Whether or
not such a propositiou is made at a loss
we leave to be figured out by tho voters
This proposition would cost the city
180 per month 2100 per year or 12900
for sx years nearly enough to buy the
new plant then not niore than one half
the city would be lighted besides as
above stated Eremont only pays 2200
per year including all expenses and
ruus a much larger plant 50 to 80 arc
lights and all night service The above
propositiou amounts to more than it
will cost the city to run the entire plant
while it is fair at least to presume that
the city will derive some income from
private consumers to be deducted from
the running expenses Let there bo
