enjoyed. The receipts were very satis
factory to the young ladles of the guild.
The rain and the clouds took a hand
this morning at knocking out the beauti
ful Indian summer weather that has
prevailed for some time , mid it has boon
eminently successful. The chilly ,
drizzling ralnlhas been far from enjoy
able but at this sooBon of the year it was
not entirely unexpected.
An exchange gives it as a now story :
A young man called on his girl , and ,
while waiting in the hall for her to come
down , was told by the girl who leaned
over a railing that she couldn't come ;
she was taking a bath and had nothing
on. "But I must see you at once , " ho
said , "it is important. Slip something
on and come down. " So she slipped on
the top stop , and wont down.

The work isjproceeding faster through

stacles to construction were encountered
during the early part of the season to
Niobrara and beyond.
Stanton Picket : A report was
brought up from Pilger yesterday ( Wed
nesday ) that a man heavily armed had
called at the home of a family named
Smith , south of that place , and
ordered Mrs. Smith to prepare him
some dinner and do it quickly. It was
also stated that the man is living in
cornfields and is supplied with food
from a wagon which drives down from
Stanton two or three times a week.
The people down there believe the man
to be Welch Lowry. The story is
given little credence hero. Sheriff King
went down thisjinorning to investigate
and ascertain the facts.
A telephone message was received
here today announcing that Mrs. Moses
Clark died at the poor farm this
afternoon. Mrs. Clark has been in
poor health for eorno time and was
taken to Omaha for an operation about
three mouths ago. Upon her return to
Norfolk she was taken to the poor farm
where she could becared for with less
expense to the county. Her husbanc
accompanied her there and has been
assisting in caring for her. She is about
50 years of age and up to the time she
was taken sick did washing for a living
Mr. Clark was janitor of the Baptist
ohmch up to the time ho loft for the
poor farm.
Manager Sprecher of the telephone
exchange is not a cannibal nor even a
savage , therefore his friends have no
reason to believe that because ho has
punctured his lower lip ho contemplate
adorning it soon with a huge brass o
copper ring. The puncture was made
without his sanction or consent by a
stick of [ kindling wood pressing the said
lip suddenly and violently against hi
front teeth. The pain produced was
some and the red blood spurted
copiously. Mr. Sprecher is old enougl
to have learned before this that it is the
wife's duty to split the kindling and
therefore his injury by meddling wit !
her work elicits very little sympathy.
The Columbus high school footbal
eleven arrived in the city last nigh
over the Union Pacific and ar
contesting the Norfolk team fo
honors on the grounds laid out at th
baseball park north of the city thi
afternoon , the game being called at
o'clock in spite of the drizzling rain tha
was falling and in spite of the fact tha
the grounds had been given a slippery
ooating of mud by that same rain.
Hovoral of the Columbus players are
husky and heavy lads and it would
Bcem that , the only hope for Norfolk
to win will be the oxerolBO of superior
hklll. Owing to the rain and mud
the attendance nt the game was mniill ,
but what the crowd lacked In mini-
Itorfl it made up in enthusiasm.
An Omaha feather renovator has had
ifino soliomo of his exposed by n woman
with whom ho had quarrelled , Get
ting pormlHRion from a housowlfo to
examine her foathorjbcds or pillows , ho
would rip open a corner , utir the
feathers up with a pencil and behold I
the feathers were allvo with small
worms. The secret of the business was
that the pencil ho used to stir
the feathers was hollow nud filled
with worms which ofcapod into the
feathers when uncorked. It wan an
easy matter to got a job of renovating
or Bccuro the feathers for a moro
nothing aftea the worms had boon
shown to the women folks. No ono
wauth to sleep on a wormy.feather bed
or pillow. Perhaps with the exposure
of the Bohomo , however , the lucrative
part of the business will disappear.
"If I owned a farm along the river or
oven ono on which there was a grove or
other timber , " said a business man
this morning , "I would certainly invest
a few cents in walnuts , hickorynnts ,
butternuts , hazelnuts and endeavor to
procure a few acorns to scatter among
thoiiindor brush , with the hope that they
would take root in the spring and grow.
Then when they begin to need the room
I would thin out the other trees and
in a few years am confident that
either myself or my heirs would soon
have a hardwood growth that would become -
como of inestimable value as the years
vent by and any way nuts would bo
irodncod for the children or for
market. " The suggestion is certainly
; ood. The investment for the experi
ment would bo infinitesimal and if
armors generally would do this , in-
toad of scraggy growths of cottonwood -
wood , boxelder and willow , producing
voods that are of little value oven for
nol , the country might bo timbered
with hardwoods. The introduction of
mrdwoods should not bo difficult now
hat prairie fires are no more , and there
s much land that is fit for nothing but ?
ho growth of timber. A trial of the
chomo would not bo expensive nor
would it involve a great deal of work.
Henry Hanbons , vice president of the
Stortz Brewing company , was In 'Nor
folk yesterday on business and while
lore received a dispatch notifying him
that something terrible had happened
at his homo at 15-17 North Twelfth
street , Omaha. Mr. Hanbous loft for
louie by the first train , not knowing
what terrible calamity had befallen him
but found that his worst possible fears
were realized on reaching his homo ,
lie found that his wife and two little
sons , aged 10 aud 12 years were dead
having been asphyxiated by gas turuet
on by the mother during the night
The mother was mentally unbalanced
and she went about to commit the crime
with insane caution and care. She line
the two children sleep in one of the
rooms that could bo closed tightly
plugged the keyholes and other openings
to prevent the escape of the gas and
after the children were asleep she
turned on the gas and lay down to die
with them. The terrible truth was
discovered by Mr. Hnubens' sister , who
had prepared breakfast and then went
to call the family , finding the condi
tions as stated. The body of the
youngest son was lying on the floor
ho having evidently crawled out o
bed , but was unable to escape from the
death trap prepared by his mother. Mr
nud Mrs. Haubons had been married
for 14 years and had resided in Omaha
during that time. Their domestic re
lations had been pleasant and no other
reason than insanity is assigned for the
rash act of the mother.
Those who attended the entertain
ment at the Auditorium lost night by
A. L. Bixby , the poet-philosopher o
the State Journal , and tke Plymouth
quartet , will agree with the statomen
that the audience was not as largo by a
great many people as was deserved by
the entertainers. Those familiar with the
poetry , wit , humor , and philosophy tha
have appeared in the State Journal for
years , coming from the pen of Mr
Bixby , were especially pleased to have
the opportunity to hear his own rendi
tiou of his productions , should be a
matter of pride to any state and it i
undeniable that he is appreciated in Nebraska
braska where ho is best .known. Be
cause of the mail arrangements hi
work is not as well known to the poopl
in the ( northern part of the state OH
those in the south Platte country , am
yet he has been extensively quote <
everywhere and all should have appreciated
ciated his readings and his humoron
skits. The audience that mot Mr
Bixby last night was unquestionably
composed of enthusiastic admirers , aud
ho was called and recalled , never fail
ing to res-pond with some of his origlna
productions , scintillating with wit am
humor and touchingly expressive o
irony or pathos. The Plymouth quar
tet rendered able assistance towtm
making the evening's entertainrnen
complete. The voices of the ladie
composing the quartet harmonized per
fectly and they were recalled sovera
times. Their singing of "Rock-a-Bye,1
by Noidllnger , was especially beautiful
and appreciative. Miss Blxby'o concert
polka by Bnrtlott was played with ivr-
tlnlio taste and tact and an encore
number was insisted upon , Through *
out , the entertainment was of high
grade and it Is to bo regretted that
moro were not out to enjoy it.

in new common stock to make oxteu
slons of its line to the west. It is
hoped in the northern part of state tha
the principal extension will bo via th

west to the coast. Perhaps the larges
part of the extension scheme is yet on
paper , but that does not prevent it from
being interesting news and the founda
tion for interesting guesses.

on the Auditorium THE NEWS office ha
been snbmittedlto [ a thorough fniniga
tlon of tar smoke , and if there are any
microbes or disease germs liugerin
about it can only be because the smok
is not a success as a disinfectant. I
has certainly been in evidence to the
olfactories of the force , and if not a
success as a curative or preventiv
agent it cannot bo denied that it ha
penetrative powers as an aroma.

though no rain had fallen. The ditching -
ing gang is working east on Main
trtct with the prospects that all the
irger mains will bo under ground
vithin a few dayj.

he had the money but stated that it had
been given to him by Brewer. Several
witnesses were examined and it was
found that it would be impossible to
prove the case which was dismissed at
the plaintiff's cost and the prisoner
was given his liberty. Meantime one of
Brewer's creditors had got garnishee
papers from Justice Conley's court and

claims are satisfied Mr. Brewer is not
likely to have much left of the $50.

ANALYSIS OF FLOUR.
Test Shows that North Nebraska
Flour Stands Bettor than the
Minnesota Flour.
A sample of Norfolk Bon Ton tlonr
was submitted for analysis to Prof. II.
II Nicholson , head of the chemical
department of Nebraska state university.
The result , as compared with the best
Minnesota spring wheat flour , is inter
esting , and gives the Norfolk product a
showing of wnich it may bo proud.
The analysis of the Minnesota flour-
was inado by the bureau of chemistry
of the United States department of ag
riculture.
The comparison is as follows :
Norfolk Minnesota
Moisture 0.98 % 10.30 %
Starch 75.08 70.00
Fat 94 .07
Gluten 15.70 12.88
Ash 70 .00
The gluten indicates the comparative
strength , nud you can readily see that
Norfolk flour will make moro loaves to
the hundred pounds than the flour con
taining loss gluten and every sack is
worth 15 cents moro to the consumer
than the best Minnesota.
This showing indicates that our soil
contains certain elements conducive to
the growth of good wheat , in fact whor-
everjgypsum abounds in the soil , them
yon find superior wheat.
William Liebold , baker in Nebraska
City , writes : "Can buy Minnesota
flour but like Norfolk best. "
Henry Trno , baker of Lincoln Bays :
" 98 pounds Bon Ton scaled at 17 ounces
in the dough , makes 100 loaves of
bread. "
H. S. Falkenburg of York writes to
the Sugar City Cereal mills , "your first
consignment of Bon Ton O. K. Ship
me another lot. "
Geistlinger & Behabakers of Lincoln ,
say : "Book us for six cars of Bon Ton ,
four cars per mouth , make it ten cars if
you want to. "
These are samples of tbo testimon
ials to the value of Bon Ton.
