Durlington Susponds Work at
Crystal Lalto on That
Account
The temperature was too low yes
terday to harvest Ice. That was the
report that came to Burlington head
quarters from Crystal Lake, the body
of water from which the railroad ex
pects to get 12,000 tons or more of
ice for its Lincoln and Omaha houses.
Twelve Inch Ice was to be found
there and the temperature was such
as to make it thicker. It was four
teen below and a stiff breeze from
the north was sweeping the Ice fields.
Crystal Lake Is located near Dakota
City, Just across the river In Ne
braska from Sioux City. The water
in the lake is clear and the ice that
forms on its surface is the next thing
to the manufactured article. There
fore it Is highly prized, and the Sioux
City line permits the Burlington to
draw upon the lake for ice.
The Lincoln division of the Bur
lington stores ice at Lincoln, Omaha,
Hastings, Sutton Aurora and Ra
venna In large puantltles . and : ' In
smaller quantities at a number of
other places. The Lincoln and Oma
ha houses will be filled from Crystal
Lake, and It is possible the other
houses on the system will get" ice
from this source.
It was expected that a fifty car
shipment would be made last night
but the report from the lake was
that It was too cold to handle it.
The cakes would freeze together
when taken fro mthe pond. It was
too cold for the workmen. Ice was
not loaded, but if the temperature
rises a few degrees in that vicinity
today the loading will begin.
The hundred miles or more to haul
from Crystal Lake Is not a long one
compared to hauls that the Bur
lington road has made in the past to
IIiul the Same Experience.
The Farmers' Institute which was
held at Weeping Water last Frlady
and Saturday seems to have suffered
the same fate whirh the one hold here
went up again. There was no one on
hand, to hear the several speeches
which were, delivered in the main
by the same speakers who addressed
the institute here. There seems no
good reason for the falling off in at
atendance at these meetings as they
were unquestionably excellent things
for the farmers and gave them many
new. Ideas as to farming problems.
At Weeping Water the addresses
were delivered by Miss Dessie Sid
well who also spoke here and who
covers the field of domestic economy,
Prof. H. R. Smith, Mrs. O. J. Work
man, Prof. E. W. Hunt, Mr. Stillman
and Congressman Pollard. These
speakers took up several different
different lines in which the farmers
were Intefested and made, many sug
gestions which would have been of
untold benefit had the people for
whom they were Intended been pres
ent to hear and( apply them. As it
was there was much excellent work
wasted. It is to be hoped that in
the future these Institutes are bet
ter attended and that more Inter
est is taken "in them. From other
points the report comes of failure of
the meeting In point of attendance
also.

four times as far, in past winters er living west of the city had trl-
when the Ice crop In Lincoln was a

Seven thousand tons will be stored
in the Lincoln houses and from five
to six thousand tons in the Omaha
houses. In ordinary weather be
tween 1,000 and 1,200 tons of ice
can be hauled in a train load over
the low grade line to Sioux City. Ice
will be stored at Omaha first.

Journal.
Local railroad men yesterday
stated that they had shipped out of
this city forty-nine cars for Crystal
Lake where the cars will enter the
ice traffic. The call from the traf
fic department was for two hundred
cars in all and the presumption was
that the balance of the order would
be filled from other points on the
system. There are many bad order
cars on the tracks here which are In
good enough condition for this traf
fic and as the season progresses many
more of them will be called into act
ivity without a doubt. With'the con
tinuance of the present cold snap,
the Ice harvest can be started at this
point and doubtless, the Burlington
will take stept to utilize their cars
at this point in that service. As
shown above the temperature is too
cold to permit the ice being handled
just now but as it moderates the
shipments will increase and there is
small room to doubt but that the
Burlington Will have plenty of Ice
stored when spring breaks. There
seems no danger of an Ice famine
now.
Antelopes in Droves.
One of the Phenomena caused by
the recent snows in Colorado and Wy
oming is said to be the arrival of
vast liorus of antelope- aiong uie rail
way lines through the eastern part
of Colorado. Since the first of De
cember practically, snow has been
lying on the ground from McCook
west and the picking of the an
telope in the highlands has been
very slim. This has caused them to
descend to the lower lands In search
for substance. They have drifted
onto the railway right of way in
great numbers and are really a me-
nace to traffic. Owing to the sever-
ity of the Colorado law touching the
killing of these animals, trainmen
are warned to be particularly chary of
trlklng a herd of them. Frank
Hawksworth who runs upon the road
between Lincoln and McCook was in
the city a few days since, and tells
of seeing what is known as a "19"
order to a passenger crew warning
them of the presence upon the right
of way west of Akron of a herd of
antelope and cautioning the engin
eer not to strike it. The -order
wound up "This is Imperative." This.
is really a curious phenomenona and
has attracted much attention from
the train and engine , men familiar
witn tne tacts. During tne past
montn snow nas aia an over oiora-
do in a heavy sheet which has been
a great neip to me conaiuon oi uie
ground, and puts it in fine shspe for
tne coming spring ana summer, ine
serious feature of the matter is the
covering of the range which makes
it. necessary to feed the cattle, and
causes much expense to cattle
raisers

Last Sunday at Nellgh as Deputy
Game Warden R. -Yt. Hyers was at-
tempting to place Ora Keeler an 18 -
year old boy under arrest, the younc
man resisted and came near filling
the doughty game warden with shot
and possibly killing him. . When
Hyers told him that he was under
arrest, Keeler stepped back and
thrust his gun into Hyer's face. He
evidently though"Rubo would stand
a bluff but he was soon convinced of
his mistake, as the officer seized the
weapon in his hands and after a
short struggle took It away from the
young man and placed him under ar
rest. Keeler was charged with shoot
ing chickens out of season And will
have his preliminary hearing In coun
ty court very shortly.- This sounds
like the old Rube whom tho people
of Cass County knew as sheriff,
man of Indomitable courage and
nerve and a brave officer. The young
man will havo a chance to thing over
his folly In trying to scare him as
he will doubtless be prosecuted to
the end now,

FINE PIANO
Miss Karthi Steppat Wins Out in U.
" FaiiCr' Sig fiinS CufiicSl
The piano contest which has been
going on for so long at the depart
ment store of M. Fanger ended on
the last day of the year but the of
ficial account of the vote was not
completed until yesterday when the
announcement was made cf the re
sult. It showed that Miss Martha
umphed. She polled the astonlsh-
Ing'total or 972,678 votes while the
Columbian school of the city finished
behind her with the very respectable
total of 484,778 votes. The
contest toward the close was a very
lively one, Miss Steppat making a
determined fight to land the prize
while the pupils of the school got out
and hustled to get every vote pos
sible. Miss Steppat proved too good
a campaigner for them, however,
and maintained the lead which she
had taken In the early mouths of
the contest. It took several days
to make the final count as the votes
came in showers during the final
weeks. M. Fanger is much pleased
with the interest taken in the fight
and found that he had made many
friends, by the manifestly fair man
ner in which he had conducted it.
He also had the satisf actio l of
knowing that his many 'customers
were well satisfied with the goodii
which he sold them and that while
the piano contest stimulate I trade
to some extent, it also built up many
customers who will always be relia
ble and long time ones. All parties
wore well pleased and had nothing
but the best of words for .Mr. Fanger
and his pleasant, and polite coips of
clerks.
Getting it Ready.
Editor in Chief Robertson and his
assistant, Ralph Mosely, have been
vorklng upon the Cornhusker dur-
lng the holidays. Much of the work
of arranging departments has been
completed and from now on the staff
will rush all copy to the printer. The
plan of giving each college In the
university a separate department is
an original one with Mr. Robertson
and Is being tried for the first time.
The reason for the separation of the
bnnk into departments was to pic-
vent the annual, scrap between the
'lnws" and the Cornhusker staff.
Each year shortly before the time for
the Cornhusker to be put on the
press the "laws" have withdrawn
and refused to have anything to do
with the publication. By giving each
college a separate department Editor
Robertson, who is a senior law stu
dent, thought that he could avert
the trouble. Considerable doubt has
Deen expressed as to the wisdom of
dividing the book. The law staff is
working hard to make that college
have the best representation in the
book, and to justify the division of
the Cornhusker into departments.

POLLARD
HAS ORGAN
Congressman Buys in "News" Plant
at$1,2C3
From Wednesday's Daily.
The reDort in vestord
Uncerning the sale of the New s plant
to County Attorney Rawls, turns out
to be only partially correct as he was
only the highest bidder for a short
time. The general understanding
was that his bid was the highest to
be tendered the trustee but later At
torney A. L. Tidd representing Con
gressman Pollard, tendered the ref
eree a bid of 11,200 which he had
been authorized to make for Mr. Pol
lard. While it was after the hour
set for the sale, the trustee conclud
ed that his duty to the creditors de
manded that he accept the bid. There
seems to be serious doubt 1 as to
whether the Rawles bid could be con
firmed by the court If another and
much higher bid was made, and this
Induced the trustee to take the action
he did. Mr. Rawls who represented
several of the creditors of the defunct
Institution, made no objection to his
accepting Mr. Pollard's bid as it was
better than his clients felt like put
ting up:
Nothing has been lenrned as to Mr.
Pollard's reasons for taking over the
plant, although the general opinion
is he will rehabilitate the plant and
put someeone in charge to run it as
a straight republican paper devoted
to the Interests of that party in gen
eral and to the Interests of Congress
man Pollard In particular. That he
is a candidate for another term in
congress is generally known and it is
believed his purchase of the paper
Is to give him a weapon to fight his
opponents with.
It is the opinion of many that he
has gotten qullu a bargain in the pa
per even should he Just buy it to sell
again as the machinery, typo, and of-
fb-e equipment is believed to be worth
a fe.W. hundred dollars more than he
paid for it. Little faith is put in
his buying the plant for this purpose,
however, and as outlined above tho
general expectation is to see a brand
new' republican paper in the city.
The advance in the price of the
plant helps the general creditors a
little and it is more than probable
that they will realize a small amount
of their investment, but still not
enough to make anyone of them feel
fabulously rich. Should the general
creditors receive ten per cent of their
claims they villi have done more than
well. '

Sheriff Quinfon Returns With Isssst
Man
The name of the insane man
whom Sheriff Qulnton was called
upon to go to Greenwood and get
from the marshal of Eagle If F. An
derson. Anderson Is a hobo or tramp
and blew Into Eagle last Monday and
alarmed the inhabitants by his act
ions. He wanted some cocoalne or
morphine or any other dope which
he could get hold of and it was his
Insistent demands for drugs that first
led the populace to suspect his In
sanity. As timo wore on and he
found that he could not induce the
people there to cater to his appe
tite became positively vicious
and the inhabitants called upon
Marshal Austin to take him In
charge.
After he hadbeen taken Into cus
tody, it became evident that he was
laboring under Insanity doubtless be
ing brought on by his being de
prived of the drugs to which he had
been used While he was not vio
lent enough to harm the public, he
was in such shape that it was deem
ed best to notify the sheriff and have
the man brought before the Insan
ity commission,. Marshal Austin
took him across the country from
Eagle to Greenwood In a buggy
where Sheriff Qulnton was waiting
to take him In custody and bring
him here for examination.
No complaint has been filed .with
District Clerk Robertson up to three
o'clock this afternoon In either the
Bueltoen or Anderson insanity cases
and no time has been fixed for their
hearing.. Sheriff Qulnton brought
Anderson down last night from
Greenwood and he Is now confined
In the county Jail. It cannot be said
just when the hearings will take,
