NEW CLUB HOUSE. Plans for a Place of Rest and Amuse ment for Railroad Employes. For years the need of some kind of a club house for South Norfolk { haa boon felt by that community and the only lack has appeared to bo to have someone take hold of the movement and push i to a successful end. On the arrival of Rev. Franklin Baker , pastor of the See end Congregational church , 'ho was quick to see that some such place or re sort was necessary If the railroad mou and boys wore to bo reached , and if the work was to bo done that lay in the path of the Second church. SoltstOotobo Mr. Baker routed two small rooms In the Breed house which Is situated uox door to the South Norfolk barbershop , but by the llrst of January these quar ters proved too small to accommodate Mr. Bnkor's railroad friends , consequently quontly the four-room house belonging to Rome Miller was rented and fur nished at Mr. Baker's own expense , as sisted by some interested Christian friuds. In these rooms Mr Bukor has placed a piano and hts personal library , both of which the railroad boys have taken an appreciated advantage of. Mr. Baker has had as his room mates nnd helpers a brakeman and a ilrouiau , but the inlluouco of the work has grown so rapidly that it Is now necessary to have larger quarters , heudo the Second Congregational church has risen to the needs nnd hope before another year has passed to have a railroad Christian club house erected whore the railroad boys will have a place to spend their resting hours comfortably. The local railway management Is quite interested and will do all in their power to assist the enter prise. prise.Mr. Mr. Rome Miller , manager of the rail road eating houses of the P. , E. & M. V. , has boon the first to moot the call for funds by placing in the hau Is of the Second church a beautiful 00-foot front residence lot in South Norfolk .designated as lot 3 , block 1) ) , Western Town Lot company's addition. This lot will be disposed of to the best advantage pos sible and the proceeds will bo used toward purchasing the location desired for the club house , which is situated near the depot , and from the price of which the property owner has deducted $100 , as his gift toward , the club houso. The Second church expects to erect at least a $3,000 building , which will bo worthy of the city's praise. It is hoped that at least $300 may be realized from the disposal of the lot owned by the the church. The lot is above grade , taxes are paid up and. there is otherwise a good title , the warranty deed now be ing in the hands of the church , and the * cause for wlu'oh the money from its sale el asked Is worthy your interest as rail road men , business men and ohristiaus The committee having the disposal o : the lot In charge are : Mr. Ed Wood Mr. George Rogers and Mlsa Bessie Williams. Their plan for the disposi tlon of the property will bo made known later , when it Is hoped that everyone will lend their assistance toward getting the most possible for the purpose do ired out of the lot. Improving Mill Property. The Sugar City Cereal Mill company has another force of men at work add ing to the strength and permanency o that institution. The new improvement mont under way Is the placing of a 1 stone and cement foundation under th main building and above the mill race Mio work preliminary to the improve- nont involves a largo expense and the grentost labor connected witli the job. t Ix nocoHBary to place the building on a ulsu foundation while the building of ho wall is under way ; not only this , but the false work must bo built through oyory story to the top nnd many largo linborfl nrJ used.

Residents of Norfolk and Other Towns Felt it. WAS OF VERY SHORT DURATION. Reports Indicate That thd" Entire North Part of the State was In the Circuit of the Shock. Omaha , Col umbus and Fremont Did not Feel It. From Moulin ? ' * Dnlly , An earthquake shock of 9ovorol second * ' duration was felt in Norfolk about 13:43 : today , It was accompanied by a rumbling sound aa of thunder and ihook buildings tin til they fairly rattled , disturbing the dlshos on the shelves of residences , the goods on hand at busi ness houses and giving ether indications that something of an unusual unturo wris transpiring. Many who f61t it were satisfied that something of a lopal nature the passing of a trainer or rumbling of a wagon , was | the cause of the sensation , but as nothing of that.charaotor could bo discovered and a comparison of notes Indicated that it was generally felt in all parts of the city , it was decided that nothing but an earthquake could have boon responsible. This was substantiated later by a slui- illar report from the country. At the Osboruo homo northeast of the city , a young man who 'was lying on the ground taking his noon-day rest , felt the shook most distinctly and was somewhat frightened at its intensity. Reports have also boon received from ether parts of the state , where the shock was folt. It was reported from towns as far north as Croighton and west to O'Neill. Battle Creek , Elgin and other towns report that the shook was felt , there very distinctly. At Omaha , Fre mont nud Columbus the shock was not felt , and It appears to have boon more distinct to the west and north. It Is probable that north Nebraska was on the edge of the territory disturbed by the shock and that later reports will toll of a severe shook nt some distant point. _ that was no Fake. From Monday's Daily : A terrific fistlo battle happened be tween Julias Lehman and his hired man John Johnson , commonly known as ' " John the Lehman farm 'Hookey" , on a few miles south of the city yesterday afternoon. Both men wore very badly bruised up this morning. Johnson was arrested on n warrant sworn by Lehman , and fined $3 and costs by Justice Oonloy. Then iu turn , Johnson had a warrant sworn out for Lehman and he will be arrested today. Johnson is a follow who has a steel hook iu the stump of his left arm aud has beeu nicknamed from this. With the sharp hook Johnson tore the face aud cheeks of his adversary frightfully , aud Lehman thinks he got more than $2 worth of punishment. Johnson is hav ing Lehman arrested because , he says , Lehman took a shot at him with are- volver aud he cau't stand that. John- sou's facial expression is certainly badly demoralized aud the flesh on his right arm looks as though it might have been scalded. There is no question about the genu ineness of this combat. There isn't oven a rumor that it was a fake and the principals are not going into tears to prove that they were in earnest. New Church Organized. A now Independent German Lutheran church was organized in this city last night. It will bo known as the Johannes church and has 43 members to start with. A place of meeting will be secured aud services held in the mornings , every other Sunday , by the Rev. Mr. Pfeifer of Madison. In principle , the new church differs from the other Lutheran organizations in that its members are permitted to be members of secret societies. It Is the thirty-fourth church of this denomina tion to be organized in Nebraska. This makes three Lutheran and four Gorman churches [ in the city , and in creases the number of all demonlnations from 13 to 13. Some of the most prom inent Germans in the city are interested in the new { organization and prospects are very battering that the membership will Increase very rapidly. They ex pect to have 75 members in three weeks and within six mouths will pass the hundred mark. A great many Germans , while deeply and truly religious , feel that there is no wrong in fraternal lodge protection aud with the desire to enjoy this liberty they have established the new church. Surgical Operation. Drs. Daniel and Tanner of Battle Creek have recently undertaken to repair the wounds of Joseph Dufphey of that place , who was severely burned some tlmo ago , by skin grafting. Thelr first attempt was the grafting of 10 pieces of skin take.u from the arms of as many different individuals , and it is said that every piece grew. They next grafted on 28 more pieces taken from the arms of 23 men. A subsequent examination revealed thofact that the en tire 44 pieces of grafted skin were grow ing nicely aud the promise was that Mr , Daf phoy would soon have a whole skin , although it may be of as many complex- ions as are the people who are now suffer ing the luconvonloucoof sore and swollen arms. It is soldonrthat such n piece of surgical work Is attempted outsldo of tlio largo hoHpltnls nud if their work is successful the Buttle Greek physicians will bo entitled to congratulations. It is Raid that outsldo of the Injuries resulting rom the recent blaze Mr. Daf phoy is n remarkably healthy patient aud It is In largo part duo to this fact that the doc tors were oucourageod to undertake the work. SCIENTISTS DENY. That Sister of Mrs. Eddy , Who Died , Was a Disciple of Their Faith. BOSTON , July 21. William B. McLean of No. 24 Boluiont street , Dorchester , denied today the story that the death of Mrs. Mary Baker , on Juno 9 , at his residence , waa duo in any sense to fail ure of Christian Science treatment. 'Mr. MoLeau assorted that Mrs. Baker had boon attended by Dr. Howard S. Deeriug of Darmonth street aud had not submitted to Christian Solonco treat ment. Mrs Baker , Mr. McLean said , though of Mrs , Baker Eddy n sister-in-law Mary , nud ouo of Mrs. Eddy's admirers , was not a Scientist. She had boon for 50 years a devout member of the Park Street Congregational church , and up to the time of her death was deeply in terested in the Scotch Presbyterian church , on Warren street , to which she loft a bequest of $4,000. Dr. Howard S. Deeriug stated that ho was in attendance on Mrs. Baker at the time of her death. Local Interest in The Fight. Telegraphic returns by rounds were received from the Jeffories-Fitzsimmous fight at the Trocadero and at the Ox- uard Bar. Betting at the Trocadero stood 4 to 10 and 5 to 10. At the Oxuard bottlug ran from 2j to 10 to 5 to 10. Several hundred dollars changed bauds In the city. Much of the betting waa done after the fight had started , some money being put up just before news of the knock-out flashed over the wire. A pianist kept things lively at the Oxuard.

LAYING RAILS THROUGH VERDEL The Next Longest Bridge on the Elk horn System Will Span the Nlobrara River. General Manager Bidwoll Says the Line Will bo Completed. The Elkhoru extension is gradually approaching preaching the Rosebud Indian reserva tion , which isto be opened iu the near future , Tou miles more of the extension were completed Saturday , whioh brings it to Verdol , 21 miles beyond Verdigro. The last ton miles has been in process of construction since about July 4. The longer time consumed in completing the extension from Niobrara to Verdol than that put/u between Verdigro and Niobrara is explained by the fact that the bridges across the Niobrara have boon delayed owing to the bad roads iu the spring and the material has not been on hand as conveniently as It was this side of Niobrara. It is expectedjto pro gress up the Ponca valley from now on at the rate of about a mlle a dny. The truss bridge gang is on hand and have commenced the work of putting iu that structure whioh will take several mouths to complete : Outside of the bridge across the Plntte at Fremont the Niobrara bridge will be the largest on the Elkhoru system. The full length of the bridge including the approaches will be 1440 feet , and will consist of ten spans from bank to bank three of 128 feet each and seven of 72 feet each. When completed the extension will cover a distance of 07 mllea , extending from Verdigro to two and one-half miles west of Bonestoel , the extra mileage be yond Bonesteel being for stockyard pur poses. It is intended to erect stations at every town along the road as soon as possible. The road will not be thrown open for business by regular trains until the construction work roaches Lynch , 13 miles west of Verdel. Construction trains will handle the business up to that timo. As there are 2,600 quarter sections of land to bo thrown open to settlement in the Rosebud reservation the Elkhorn counts on driving the opening wedge to a settlement of some 20,000 people nnd the opening up of a very fertile strip of country to permanent homesteaders. In a recent interview regarding the new extension General Manager Bidwell Is quoted as saying : "We have no doubts now that our line will bo completed by September , for we have all the material and help re quired and are progressing with unusual facility with the work. There was some talk that we undertook the construction of this piece of road , because wo be lieved the Rosebud reservation was to bo opened by the congress just adjourned and that since congress at the first ses sion did not throw open the reservation , we had abandoned our plan of construc tion. I wish to say that this is not true in any particular. We are not in fluenced at all by the matter of the open ing of the reservation and are proceed ing with our work regardless of the action of congress in deferring the ad- mission of settlers to the Rosebud aud will have it completed aud iu operation long before the winter session , which will afford the first opportunity for con gress to act.
