Water Commissioner Patterson claims
that if the Third street fountain has
been out of order it must have been but
for a very short time ns he got a drink
there yesterday and on coming down
this morning to fix it found it in per
fect rnnniug order As a matter of fact
there have been very few complaints
nbout the drinking fonntaius uuder Mr
Pattersons regime and tho commissioner
has promptly looked into and remedied
any defects that came to Iub attention
He expresses a willingness to do his best
to oblige patrons of the system if he is

Tne Omaha Bee has this to say regard
ing tho Yankton Norfolk line The
completion of the new road will open
np for Omaha a splendid commercial
field which has hitherto been inacces
sible owing to poor railroad connections
With the fine facilities existing between
this city aud Norfolk the Yankton road
will provide means for transportation
from Norfolk to the terminus of the
new road and intermediate points
While this feeling of elation exists on
the part of Omaha commercial men a
contrary condition is prevalent in Sioux
City which has heretofore been and is
at the present time the trade center for
the territory which will be opened up
for Omaha by means of the construction
of the Yankton Norfolk aud Southern
railway
The matter of buying a cigar appears
to the average smoker to be a very insig
nificant transaction and yet the aggre
gate of all cigart purchased and nickles
spent mounts up into respectable figures
that are entitled to consideration For
instanco if Norfolk smokers would insist
on smoking a cigar made in Norfolk
each time the effect would soon be felt
by the home manufactures of that luxury
These men have families dependent on
them and spend the greater part of what
mouey they mako at home bo that the
money spent for home made cigars is
kept in circulation hero and goes toward
tne benefit of Norfolk business men and
institutions Tho local cigar makers put
out as good products as many made out
of town that receive larger patronage
and with increasing trade they would be
able to put out better goods and provide
better facilities for their munufaturo
The advice so often given to patronize
home industries applies with just as
much forco to the cigar business as it
does to any other The merchants also
will derive greater benefit from pushing
u home made cigar as the money is soon
returned iu trade chanuels If you
smoke smoke Norfolk cigars
The News was confident when it

and it is attracting great attention It
is feaid that the brute was imported
from Iowa where it has a record of kill
ing a boy and two girls which thus far
is believed to bo a record breaker for
one bug It is further said that its
teeth were extracted without pain or
delay and as it is closely confined no
further danger from its attacks need be
