name as Henry Weilbrenner was ar
rested at Sagamore Hill late Tuesday
night while making a persistent de
mand to see President Roosevelt The
man was armed with a revolver fully
loaded He was taken to the village
and placed in the town prison
v Shortly after 10 oclock Tuesday
night Weilbrenner drove to Sagamore
Hill in a phaeton buggy He was
stopped by the secret service opera
tive on duty Weilbrenner said he
had a personal engagement with the
president and desired to see him As
it was long after the hours when
visitors are received the officer de
clined to permit him to go to the
house The man Insisted but the offi
cer turned him away
Soon after Weilbrenner returned
and again insisted that he be allowed
to see the president if only for a min
ute This time he was ordered away
and warned not to return
Just before 11 oclock the man re
turned a third time and demanded of
the officer that he should be permit
ted to see the president at once The

what had become of the rig Weil

has taken care of it thats all right

LEGAL BATTLE FOR NORMAL
Rivals of Kearney Talk of Restrain
ing Board
LINCOLN As a result of the State
Normal board locating the new nor
mal school at Kearney there are some
tender spots left on the citizens ol
some of tho other towns that were In
the contest Even Treasurer Morten
sen feels keenly disappointed Tho
treasurer had all the confidence in the
world that Ord would be the place
and he nursed the thought until he
saw the school building looming up
in his town If Ord couldnt get it
then the treasurer it is said wanted
it to go to Broken Bow He waited
just a little too long and Mr Rogers
flopped from Broken Bow to Kearney
On several occasions Mr Rogers had
changed his vote to locate the school
until finally he was successful
It was reported here that an in
junction would be asked for by one or
more of the competing towns to pre
vent Kearney from getting tho school
without a fight through the courts
The request is to be based on the fact
that Kearney offered twenty acres of
land which is not in one tract
when the law requires that the land
be one tract of not less than twenty
acres that Kearney was allowed to
modify its bids after all were opened
and if these are not sufficient to get
the injunction then the constitution
ality of the law giving the board the
power to locate the school will be at
tacked

by a Berlin nerve specialist He as
serts that out of 1000 girls who be
gan to play the piano before they
were 14 no less than 600 were affected
by some kind of nervous disease
while out of 1000 girls who had not
been put at playing scales only 100
were so affected His recommenda
tion is that girls should not begin to
work on the piano until they are 16
