Norfolk, Neb., May 9. There was a
meeting of citizens last eveniig at the
opera house to consider the electric light
question. Dr. Schwenk was chairmau
and Georgo P. Moore, secretary. Articles
of incorporation were adopted. The

A Newspaper Transfer.
IIeatrice, Neb., May 9. M. A. Metz-
ger, secretary and treasurer cf the fcx-
press publishing company, has just sold
his interest in that plant to Dr. F. Seiners,
of this city. The doctor is somewhat
noted as a humorous writer, and it is said
that the "Wayside" articles that have
lately been running in the Express are
from his pen
Methodist Conference.
New York, May 8. Bishop Walden
of Chattanooga presided over the delib
erations ef the Methedist Episcopal con
ference today. Dr. Buckley of New
York moved and it was carried, that in
asmuch as the lady delegates who were
elected to the conference had been ruled
out yesterday their fares to and from
their destination should be paid by the
general conference.
The question came- up as to the right
of V. A. Shannon to represent the Mon
tana conference. His seat had been con
tested by F. A. Biggins. The record as
it now stands in the minutes of the con
ference says Mr. Shannon was legally
elected.
A bombshell will be thrown into the
bishop's camp tomorrow. Ex-Lieut. Gov
Cumback, of Indiana, it was reported te-
day, would make a motion limiting the
oilice of bishop to eight years. Hitherto
the oftice has been for life.
Subtarranean Rooms Discovered
in El Paso.
El Paso, Tex., May 8. Work will be
commenced in El Paso in a short time
on a Federal building for a Post Office
and Custom House, for which an appro
priation of $150,000 has been made by
Congress. The site selected for the
building is near the center of the city,
on St. Louis and Oregon streets, and is
still occupied at present by an extensive
old adobe structure one story high, cov-
enng an entire block, into which are
crowded together several hundred Chi-
nese and where all their peculiar indus-
tries are pursued. There are plenty of sitting of Mr. Hardy, wife aid four chil
laundries in the rambling old building, dmi, were in the front part of the house
a number of groceries, joss houses, Chi-
nese physicians headquarters, while it
was generally known that opium suaok-
ing and fantan playing was being car-
ned on at a colossal rate, but tho latter
unlawful pursuit could never be traced
to the building. The last few days or-
ders have been given by the former own-
ers of the laud that the building must be

The cause of this scare hsa inr.t leaked
' I
oi t. 1 he whole of the region has bean
undermined by secret tunnels and exca-
ated rooms, in which not only opium-
smoking and gambling has been carried
on but other dark deeds perpetrated,
without the white population of the cit
ies and even the owners of the real estate
having suspicions of what was going on.
It is said that the Chinese have been in
the habit of keeping the bodies of those
of their countrymen who died in these
subterauean chambers, and boiled the
skeletons clean of flesh, and then send
ing them carfully packed in trunks to
San Francisco, as occasion offered, for
transhipment to China for the perma
nent burial.
When in a few days" from now the
buildings are torn down al the ground
excavated for foundation of the massive
structure that is to stand there, develop
ments will be - made that will astonish
this community. Last year a Chinese
laundry standing near the track at the
Southern Pacific Railroad Depot burned
down at night, and wh.en the Rest mora,
ing persons repaired to the spot they saw
uiKierneatn. wnat tiact neen me noor or
the dwelling a yast excavation, in which,
the charred remains of the mass of gam
bling paraphernalia were visiblp. The
oivne-r of the lot from whom the Chinese
rented the building had not been aware
of the secret chamber which Iris tenants
had constructed.
Sod Houses Caving In.
Grant, Neb.. May 9. A rery large
Humtwr of od bouses in this cuty have

Skipped With Church Funds.
Cclhertson, Neb., May 9. Gustay
Nagle who came to this place from Kan
sas a shert time ago and worked himself
into the good graces of the congregation
of the GermBn Congregational church,
skipped far parts unknown Suuday night
with $200 of the church funds. He had
preached to the congregation just bafore
ha skipped.
Robert B. Likes, a promiucnt citizen of
Hayes county and a banker at Hayes Cen

cautlidate for delejrate-at-large from this
state to the Chicago convention. Mr.
Likes will have considerable backing.
from this section, and will make a good
showing in the convention.
He'd Meal the Coins Off a Corpse.
Newpolt. Neb., May 8. Jos. Peters,
a farmer, living three miles from New
port, undertook a little job on last Wed
nesday night which would have done
honor to Robin Hood in his palmiest
day. It was no less an undertaking than
to steal the roof aff a sod shanty while
the inhabitants were wrapped in swett
repose. Jus plan failed to inateralizc,
however, as the watchful tiller of the
soil awoke and succeeded in cap
turing the would-be robber. - He was
taken before Judge Weaver this after
noon and will have fifteen long, quiet
days in the county jail to sadly reflect
on what might have been. Perhaps has
figured in several pieces of bold thievery
in this vicinity.
Demolished by Lightning.
Waco, Texas, May 7. During a severe
thunder storm this morning the lightning
struck the residence of Mr. C. E. Hardy,
on Clay and Tenth streets, and utterly
demolished one wing. The family, con-
t tha tiaie and ascaped death, although
they received a severe shock. The bolt
came down and struck the reef ol the
wing on tho east side and tore that part
of the building completely away from the
front and crushed the beams and plarks
jn small pieces. Fire was started from
the bolt but was quickly extinguished by
the rain, which was falliusr in torrents.

advices indicate the condition or toe is-
land to be most deplorable. A procla

other troops are committing outrages on

saying that they are arrested on suspi

The Havana authorities are actually ran

the main statements in the special are til -solutely

defective side track. The car did not

The Row With Morocco.
Washington, May 7. A statement
regard to the Tangier nfTuir hns been
sued by the department of state whicl
says it is not true that there has bsen tun
reftisual by the sultan of Morocco to at
bitrate. Ha proposed to Mr. Lewis ie.iii
weeks ago to send a special ugGiit to Tan
gier to discuss with him the matter of
difference, all quastions upon which tliej-
could not aj;ree to be referred to some
third person with the approval of th-
ststo department. Lewis airrced to this
and after some discussion as to the details
a complete understanding wa.s reached.
The presence of the Quinnebaug at Tan
gier was casual, and had nothing to do
with the discusion between Lewis and
the authorities. The vessel was on a reg
ular cruise.
A Kansas Water Spout.
Wichita, Kan., May 7. At an early
hour this morning it is reported that a
rain cloud burst over Maize, a town fif
teen miles west of here, completely
deluging a stretch of country a mile lng
by a quarter of a mile wide. An eye
witness says: ' I lie noue was greater
than that of Niagara. It looked as
though the bottom had fallen out of an
immense lank. I could not sea more
thxn a foot into the deluge. The sky to
the east of tha clouds from whieh fell
the water was clear, otherwise darkness
would have reigned. The cloud burst
over a level stretch of country, and the
water flowed in torrents in all directions.
It is reported that a child was drowned,
but I do not believe there was nny other
casualty."

Is a Dark-Bav Pacer, 15?, hands hirh, weighing 1,200 T'Ourids. ' His
close, compact torm and noted reputation for endurance and tpeedy
proginy li'ave justly earned for him the reputation, and encomium trout
the Editor of the "Spirit of the Turf" that he is one of the Best Sires
ot the age. Ilia record is S:2G, and has paced trial miles in 2:1C.
His eolts, Little Baby, 2:27-, and J. W. Jluey, 2:21, with more to
follow in the charmed circle this summer, is certainly a great showing,
and affords the public in this vicinity a grand onportuniiy to get
valuable horses at low prices. His service ot$lo.6, with $2.09 added
if not paid till after loaling, or $20 to insur colt to stand, is only the
price of a good ordinary horse, while horses of Siiakkji Boy's blood
lines receive trom $100.00 to S300.00 in other localities. Horses of
this kind, if not wanted for sporting purposes, can do more general
work on a farni, on account of their extra nerve power, than unwealdy
draft horses, and can go to town or to meeting in one half the time,
and time if money. Owners ot fine mares have a rare chance now for
one of the cheapest horses in the United States. Embrace the opportunity.
