At the meeting of Elks lodge tomor row evening oflicers will be instaltod for the ensuing year. There will also be three , applications to be voteji on.

Miss Nolllo Schwonk won the lady's prize and was presented > vith a battlu of perfume. The gentle man's prize was awarded to Fred Bpaul- ding , who received a hauesomo cane. John Wright of PlatUmonth , a vet eran of the Eighteenth Ohio rpglmant , tins carried a bullet in his body during thejld years since the civil war and ho recently submitted to an x ray examin ation to determine its location , The bullet was found to bo lodged between two ribs at the left side his of back and iirnr the backbone. Hu was twice shot but one of the bullets had boon extracted. Ho has been suffering considerably from the old wound lately. Tilden is after a waterworks system and a mectinu of the business n\on \ was recently held for the purpose of taking steps toward obtaining Smoh a system. An agent of the Crnno company of Otnaha considered that a plant adequate to the needs of the village could bo built for about. if'-'UOO , not including the well , apumphoubo and the necessary firefighting - fighting apparatus. A petition has boon presented the villngo board asking that an election bo called for the pnrposo of voting the necessary bonds undi their action on the matter is now pending a thorough investigation of the matter. The old city council has two meetings before it , previous to the beginning ot the new fiscal year. They \vjH nicot next Thursday oyeuiug , then on the flrst.which is also Thursday , and on May > they will turn the affairs of the city over to the incoming administration which , however , will not moan much of a change as the only two now officers arc couunilmon , M. D. Tyler from , tljq Third ward , succeeding J. J. Clements , of < the same political faith. From the Second ward Cnrl Zuelow succeeds Inlius Degner , both affiliating with the same pariy. While this is a slight change in officers it is anticipated that there might be quite a change in policy and the advent ot the now administration ill be awaited with considerable inter est , if not apprehension , on the part of a'large number of citizens. At the meeting of the West Side Whist club last night with Mr. L. O. Mittolstadt there was a largo attendance and more than the usual interest was manifest because of the fact that Mrs. Warrick offered two very handsome prizes , one being a beautiful piece of water color work and the other a hand some fruit piece in burnt wood , nicely decorated , both being the handiwork of Mrs. E. P. Weatherby. The prizes were for the lady and gentleman" prog ressed the largest number of times dur ing the evening. Mrs. H. T. Holden was awarded the lady's prize , the fruit piepe , and Dr. A. Bear won the gentleman's prize and was given the water color. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Utter andMr. , and Mrs. O. O. Gow , who haye been guests of the club a number of times during the winter will entertain the club next Tuepday evening at the home of Mr , and Mrs.Gow.

Thei program opened with an Alpine scene , with those talking part costumed to suit. Features of the ECOIIO was the singing by the jjtwo lady members , of the , company andi zither playing by one of the gentlemen members.

His war scene , introducing bugle calls , a marching army.drum beats and other accompaniments of battle ( waa especially applauded.

Following is the annual report of 0. 5. Hartford , chief of the Norfolk flro lopartmeiit , presented to the flro depart ment mooting SVpdncHday evening , and which was unanimously accepted by that body , and as further proof that t wnHacooptuolo the momborn elected Mr. Hartford to servo another year in hat capacity : Norfolk , Neb , April ! ) , 1SI02. To the officers and members of the Norfok ) Tire department : I bcRilonvq to submit the following re port of the Norfolk Fiio department for ho past year. Our waterworks system consists of wo combination Knowles pumps with a capacity of 1,800,000 gallons per day. Our Btoarn.BUpply is furnibhod by wo ixty-horso-power boilers , and our water upplytcousistu of three tubular wells , viz : C8 - and id-inch with a capacity of 0W ! gallonsipor minute , and wo have about iiiuo miles of water mains , con- isting of 40 - , 8aild 10 inch iron pipe. Wo have 71 aA No. A hydrants and six Orauo-Ohurchlll 24 hydrants , making a total of 80 hydrants. Our tandpipois 110 feet high , htanding on in ojovation of > hundred foot , making a totaUieighth of 210 feet. It is twelve foot in diameter with a capacity of JiJ.OOO gallons. Wo have standplpo irossuro of from 75 to i)0 ) pounds with a direct pressure of 1'JO pounds for lire purposes. Wo have 27 gate valves which enables us to shut off local con- umptiouifroui our direct pressure. Our department consists of four hose companies with 2000 feeb of hose , which sin poorcondition , and ono hook and adder truck , fully equipped. Wo have atotal membership of 100. t Since our last report the F. E. & M. . hose company has reorganized with a membership of 25. _ The total expense to the ity of the Norfolk Fire department was $114 40 , of which $78.75 was paid for hauling ap paratus to and from flro and jIXS.OS for applies and repairs. I respectfully recommend that the council investigate the pumps and wells at the pumping station as there has been considerable complaint and diffi culty in regard to the water supply In the past year. I would further recom mend that there bo placed in the chief's ofllco'or in. some conspicuous place a water gauge so that the water supply may be known at any time , and in case the supply bo insufficient he bo in structed to notify the engineer. I further recommend that the council purchase a combination hose wagon , equipped with looks andJaddcrs , chemicals and hose , thereby rendering more efficient service ata , lest expense than the present sys tem , The department has responded to 18 alarms during the past- year , including the asylum fire , to which our depart- mpnt responded almost to a man , rnak ; ing a run of two and one half miles. , and , finding the water supply inadequate to save the building , the department ; Imme diately proceeded to remove the furni ture and fixtures from the burning build ing. I wish to compliment the depart ment for the gallant manner in which they worked in saving the contents of the building for seven hours without anything to eat or drink , and for stand- ing'guard for seven nights over parents andifntulturp of the .institution , during which time wo experienced one of the worst wind and rain storms of the , season. * * tT/he amount of loss sustained by fire during the last year was $8C20 and the amount of insurance was $1,880 , making netJoBS.QfdG.SlO. Wehaye collected $200 insurance tax during the year. . In concluding this my annual report I wish to extend to the maypr. nd pity council and.to.tha officers of.this depart ment , my'Bincere thanks for the assist ance they have given , me in the perform ance of theduti S of. chief ol this de partment. Respectfully submitted , O.iE.JlAKTFOUD , Chief Norfolk Fire Department. Mrs. E. A.
