a ferret is secured and a string tied to
its tail the rat is then lot loose at tho

for dear life to escape tho ferret when
tho pair emerge from tho other end of
the conduit the ferret has pulled the
string through after it a stronger cord

to the heavy cord In this way what
would be a rather difficult piece of work
is accomplished in a Eimple and easy
manner

Press and Printer If the peoplo who
complain of what the reporter writes of
them would only consider what ho does
not write about them says a bright
newspaper man they would enshrine
him in the dearest corner of their hearts
The waste baskets of tho daily news
paper iu any town do more to keep its
citizens in good repute than nny other
agency except the fear of the law and
the hereafter Not all that a reporter
writes is true He is not infallible
himself and of those who are the source
of his information many men can
not tell a straight story The man who
tells a story to the reporter is usually an
interested party He has a purpose to
serve in metamorphosing this or sup
pressing that The reporter has no
desire except to get tho truth accurately
and completely and to writo it quickly
and entertainingly

The commercial men who make their
headquarters in Norfolk or whoso terri
tory requires frequent visits to this city
do not tako kindly to tho repeated asser
tions of tho ftisiouihtH that tlioir class
will support Bryan almost without ex
ception this fall and they propose to
placo their posit ion on political questions
in a light that all may read and under
stand
In conformity with the Journals as
sertion last week that of 5 knightsol tho
grip who make Norfolk their headquar
ters 51 are for McKinley and fivu for
Mryiin agreements have been posted at
the Pacific hotel headed with the
following
We the undorsigned do hereby agree
to join and organize ourselves into what
shall be known ns the Norfolk Travel
ing Mens McKinley club subject to
tho rules and regulations of tho state
organization
To these agreements thero aro already
attached more than thirty signatures as

It will be noticed that many of the
signers give tho address of their
houses instead of their home town
in conformity with their usual
style of registering They are also giv
ing the names of the firms they repre
sent to iudicato that they are genuino
commercial travelers and the effort will
be to have the organization composed of
this class and not of book agents light
ning rod peddlars and others outside the
line of commercial men of whom it iB
said some of the Bryan Traveling
Mens clubs are largely composed
The idea originated aud is being pro
moted by Messers Geo Moeller D P
Owen and 0 E Saunders popularly
known as Dad
Mr Owen by the way is an old tune
democrat and supported Mr Bryan in
1800 Asked by a friend as to the reason
for his change he Bignificently patted
his pocket and lemarked that he v as
now making sf JOO a year more thuu he
was under the last democratic
trit ion To another friend at Lincoln
after going mil to the Bryan home and
listening to a speech by I he silver hum-
piou he confided the intelligence that
men sometimes have to become pretty
old and gray before limy learn what i
to their and I heir countrys interests
but some of them will leiirn iu time
Mr Owen and his associates aro popu
lar with the boys and that tho Nor
folk McKinley Traveling Mens club
will be a success is beyond question
Thus one by one the claims of the
fiisionistH go glimmering and they will
in time learn that it were bettor to ud
hore strictly to fads Inough small than
to picsiuuo too much
EXTEND SYSTEM

IlCUHIll IlllIHl llH
The Norfolk Electric highland Power
company held a mcuting Fiiday night
and decided on some extensive improve
ments lo tho system which will cost
about SNOOOn ml will give better and
more extended service than huietofnrc
A line will be extc nded west on Nor
folk avenue to Sixteenth street nnothci
will be constructed south on Fourth
street to the Junction while yet another
line will be built through The Height
thus giving additional advantages for
street as well a- residence lighting
Kesidenco lighting will be done on the
metie system when desired
The company has also planned to
given midnight service aud a morning
service in the winter from tho hours of
5 to 8
The contemplated improvements will
be welcomed by the people of Norfolk
especially in regard to residence lighting
as this has been desired by property
owners for a long time
Tho lighting on winter mornings will
also bo welcomed as many patrons of
the system have in tho past found it
necessary to rescrt to lamps or other
methods of lighting during the dark
winter morniugs
Tho exteution of the lines will admit
of the city lighting streets which aro
now entirely dark and replacing the
gasoline lamps with electric lights
