SURVEYORS AT WORK , Preliminary Work For Northwestern Extension Said to be Under Way. [ From Saturday's Dally. ] The Sioux City Journal claims to have definite information that a corps of Northwestern surveyors , working under Manager Bidwoll , may be found beyond the end of the Caspar line in the moan- tain region. The Journal says : "Tno Ohicago & Northwestern Railway - way company is planning to extend its line to the coast. "Preliminary to this movement the Northwestern has a corps of engineers in the field running surveys through the Beokwith pass of the Rooky Mountains , following in the main the famous sur vey of the late Donald McLean of the old Pacific Short Lino. "When the Northwestern absorbed the Elkhorn last February George F. BidI /cv , well , general manager of tiiu S ° c/Cf ' " & continued iu the service of the d./ ' ' with the title of manager , his hcadqtiu. tors to remain in Omaha. During the last month or two Mr. Bidwoll has spent much of his time iu California , and it is said the engineering corps in the Book- with pass is proceeding under directions from him. It is said farther that BO well was President Marvin Hughltt pleased with the manner iu which Mr , Bidwcll superintended the construction of the Nlobrara extension of the Elkhorn and ether shorter pieces of the line that ho will bo given charge of the proposed ex tension to the const. The arrangements for the western terminus of the line are to bo completed before anything shall bo done on the cast end , whore no trouble la anticipated , A WORM SLAYER. Bug that Makes It a Business to Harpoon peen Insect Pests. [ From Saturday's Dally ] The writer this morning gained a very wholesome sort of respect for an odd looking little bug that was making it his business to patrol a woodbine that had viuod ever a porch The little fol low was of a dull dirt color with a body of triangles , and an exceedingly long , heavy and sharp mandible or something of the sort protruding from his head. Mr. bug was eaunteriug along , appar ently aimlessly , until his eye lighted on a long , mottled worm about four times his size , then he was all attention and alertness. He sidled np to that worm with business in every movomout and when he gained the position ho desired that long harpoou-llko mandible shot out and in an instant Mr. worm was wiggling and squirming on the end. But all his writhlngs and attempted jitos were useless because the bug's jody was well protected by shields and 10 had the worm where he wanted it and complacently settled down to the enjoyment of his breakfast. Hereafter , , vhon any bug of that kind wants to es tablish residence on the writer's prom- ses ho may have it rent free , and abso lutely no questions will bo asked , and all the beefy worms he wants and can [ iud are his. A. WILDE FAVORS SEWERAGE. Would Like to Vote for S25.OOO to Pipe the City for it. [ From Saturday's Dally. ] Albert Wilde is in favor of a sewerage system. "I would like to see the city vote bonds for 625,000 , " ho said today , for the purpose of running a main from the western end of town into the river , so that all of the surplus could bo carried off. That would relieve the Thirteenth street trouble. I think , too , that the streets ought to bo improved. We spend more . .every year on stone crossings that it would oost to fill Nor- fold avenue for a block at a time , with concrete. If wo couldn't pave , I should like to see a road of gravel , cared for by a steam roller and kept in perfectly hard condition. The street oar proposition , " he con tinued , "strikes me as a paying matter. Years ago the town was not half as large as it is now and it is little wonder that the horse car failed. The line would bring a great deal of trade into Norfolk that we are now losing. " STOLE MUCH GASOLINE. Foundry and Other Places Suffer From Thieves in City. [ From Monday's Dally. ] Superintendent Wells of the Norfolk Foundry and Machine shops , thinks that someone in the neighborhood of his institution must bo running a gasoline stove overtime.

There is reported considerable steal ing in a small way throughout Norfolk just now. Robert Utter reports the dis covery of four juvenile thieves whom he caught after two weeks. Their names are withheld on account of their apo. WILL HOLD AN INQUEST. Remains of Lev ! Eddy Will be Shipped to Independencela.

The body rests at the undertaking rooms of Session &Boll. In order to determine the precise cause of his death , an iuqost will bo hold over the remains of Levi Eddy on Mon day by the coroner. Remains of Lev ) Eddy , [ From Monday's Dally. ] The inquest held over the remains of Levi Eddy on Saturday , by Coroner MoMahan of Newman Grove , developed volopod the verdict that the man had come to his death accidoutly and with out blame to anyone.

I Detailed Discription of Floats in Line. WILL BE IMPOSING SPECTACLE Five Gorgeous Mechanical { Effects Typical of the Efforts of the Firemen - mon Work Is Now About Com pleted. [ From Monday's Dally. ] While it is anticipated that there will bo a greater attendance at the coming state tournament of firoiuou than at any previous tournament and that the entries will bo more numerous than ever before , it is positively known by those who are at all familiar with what is doing that there will bo a greater side attraction iu the Royal Tiger club than has ever before boon shown. The workings at the don , and the grand spectacular and emblematic parade on the last night will combine to form features not heretofore conceived of and of which few will realize the im portance until after the work of the club is shown iu all its magnificence and detail. The work of assembling and complet ing the floats Is well iu hand and the workshop and studio of Chief Promoter - motor Payuo are busy places , with his force of helpers as energetically engaged as the chief himself. The five floats that will bo in line on the night of the parade are practically completed and could be assembled and put ou the streets in the course of a very few hoars. The importance and magnificence of the work eau bo realized by none who nave not followed it through its various courses and soon the finished product and there will bo some astonishment on on the faces of those who have persisted in the belief that nothing to equal or excel the Ak-Sar-Bou and Mardi Gras larades could originate in Norfolk , and lot only bo built and put iu shape hero rat bo of new and original designs and significance , nothing of the kind having lorotoforo boon shown anywhere. Following are descriptions of the loats : Float No. 1 will bo the state queen's loat and will bo occupied by Miss Ella Flynn of York , who has boon elected by the firemen. The float will bo 20 foot u length , 13 foot high and 12 feet wide , leproflenting the charter of the volaii- eer firemen will bo an oil painting jacked np by a mechanical set house 'or the lighting effects. The queen and ler two maids will sit In front of this ) alnting and the front of the float will ) o occupied by two papier macho Ben gal tigers reclining upon tholr cages. The entire float is emblematical of the ifo of the volunteer fireman and the LMger efforts in the protection of life and property. Float No. 2 is the Storm King. A jcautiful oil painting ten by twelve 'eot is backed by a set house of four by ; en feet. In front , a space of ton by twelve feet represents a barren desert or sand plain , with a mounted wild cat occupying a central position and two sea gulls will bo suspended above. The whole scene is so constructed that with the mechanical thuudor and lightning effects it will bo a roalUtic storm scene showing the king in a golden chariot drawn by four white steeds , emanating , apparently , from a wave of clouds. Float No. 8 will bo the floral float of the Lady of Klofrou Miss Edith McClarj' of this city. It is ton by four teen foot , with a Grecian summer house and on either side of it three floral frames. Two flights of marble steps load up to the house and in front of those two urns of flowers and Mexican palms. A onpid throe and one-half feet high carrying a wreath of flowers , points to the line of progress. Lady Klofron and ten little maids occupy the float. The excellence iu the manu facture and the construction of this float is simply a masterpiece of floral art and is the work of Mrs. John Payne. Three thousand , nine hundred flowers alone decorate the float and are beauti fully grouped in harmonious colorings. They wore made especially for the occa sion of prepared stock. Float No. i is the Royal Tiger olub of Klofron and is ten by twelve feet. Upon the rear of the float is a sot piece of three departments , representing Hades. Within these Old Satan ant Is imps will reign. In front will be the Hon. John Oleland ot Fremont as the Royal Tiger and six little maids. Upon either side is a scroll six feet iu length illuminated with the name of the olub In front of this a volunteer fireman faces Old Satan and Hades with an up to-dato appliance attached to a hy drant this to show the modern way of fire fighting. On the opposite side is an old well with bucket and windlass , showing the old method of fighting flres. A beautiful banner of two by ten feet with two American eagles and the word "Klofron" laid iu papier macho forms a drapery show. Float No. 5 is Egyptla , designed es pecially to create a field of study and to furnish the ridiculous and mirthful climax to the parade. This will be teu by twelve foot in dimensions. At the roar is a sun dog twelve feet in diam eter , with mechanical effects. In front is an Egytian god six feet in length and upon either side are altars or worship stools and further front la a camel rep resenting the boast of 1-nrden of Egypt. Last but not least "Happy Hooligan and his faithful dog Knots" are shown as strangers in a strange laud , making u all a very comical and ridiculous itntorlo Hoono. The entire parade will end with the amouH Manohurlati dragon. This vondurful sen boast in forty-llvu feet iu ongth and weighs 11,000 pounds. It in u a specially oonstruutod iwgo and con- oyanoo , drawn by four horsoH.
