Electric Power.
The Norfolk Electric Light and Power
company is installing n now dynamo and
engine , both smaller than the ones in
use rogularily , to take c'iro of the load
after midnight on the all-night service.
Manager Bullock is also contemplating
the establishment of n continuous ser
vice throughout the 2 ( hours , furnish
ing electric current for power during
the day. There is nothing quite so con
venient as oloctrio power for small es
tablishments , whore all one had to do to
start his machinery is to turn n switch ,
and when occasion for power has parcel
the current can bo turned oil nud the
expense stopped. There are n number
of plants using light power in the city
that would welcome this change and
would be glad to patronize it , and it is
hoped that business may bo oll'orod the
company to induce the establishment of
the service.
Union Paciflc surveyors have estab
lished grades and sot stakes for the
switch track to the electric light station ,
extending the track trom the cold stor
age plant. The switch is being built
for the convenience of the olectrio light
company in unloading fuel for generat
ing steam. The work of extending the
switch will POOU bo undertaken.
Gas Ranges.
The work of completing the system
of the Norfolk L'ght ' and Fuel company
is proceeding satisfactorily. The coni'
pauy has received 50 gas ranges and
many of them have been installed , nf
well as the lights in n number of resi.
donee and business houses. The Hart' '
ford & Kuhuley barber shop is one of the
latest to bo lit up by gas and a brilliant
effect is produced. At the power plan !
there is on exhibition one of the power ,
ful lamps that the company is able tc
furnish that throws a light out on the
street of intense brilliancy that is quite
capable of illuminating a largo space ,
The interior of the office is lit up to c
degree almost rivalling Old Sol himself
The demand for ranges and lights if
largo and it is evident that the company
will have an excellent patronage as fast
as they are able to moot the demands.
Merging Sugar Interests.
The Beet Syrup company held a meet
ing Tuesday afternoon and was merged
into the Great Western Sugar company ,
a wing of the trust. The company de
cided to add a syrup refinery to its
plant , instead of sending its raw prod-
uotto Chicago to bo refined as hae
been the case. The preserving depart
ment will be fitted up temporarily for n
refinery.
The negotntion between the two
companies , which have been pending
for several weeks , was concluded Tues
day at n meeting held in this city.
John H. Garret , of Chicago , general
manager for the Great Western com
pany , and W. H. Fransworth , local at
torney for the Great Western people ,
closed the deal with Henry Haubens , of
Omaha , president , and W 0 Peterson ,
vice president of the Beet Syrap com
pany. South Sioux City Record.

its readers not to buy goods from n
traveling agent who claimed to repre

W. D. Gallup , formerly ot this city , had
the honor of taking the first vt'bttbuk'd

widirthan the ordinary cars and the
vestibules are the same width.
They are of tin standard Nortluvc-Bt-
ern yellow and have an observation
compartment at each end PmtHch gas
lights are used for illumination , and
high backed scats and footstools will
add to the comfort of passengers. In
fact it would scorn that nothing h d

ial improvement and consists now of a
new ( iO-foot combination baggage nnd

CoitHtrioted I'artlHiuiHlilp.
The Newi'ouc Nitws , a republican
paper , Hays that , according to the
World-Herald , Mr. Uoonovolt is nliHO-
lutoly in the wrong on every single
point in bin menage. Tine Nicws says :
"If hoVIH wrong on hut a few points ,
the World-Herald might forgive and
fornot , but ho in apparently on the off
Blelo of every Horn touched upon. "
Tlin World-Herald never contended
that Mr. KooHovolt was "absolutely in
tlio wrong at every single point " The
World-1 lurnld commended his word in
behalf of Cuba , his declaration that the
I'onccH o the cattle monopoly muHtccme
down and his line plea for kind treat
ment to the faithful army horso.
In wlmtovur urllioiHin the World-
Hoi aid mndu as to Mr. Koosovolt'H
menage the reiiHOHH for that critioiHin
won- presented by thin newspaper. So
far nei republican newspaper him under-
tiik"ii to answer tlu-wj reasons. From
the humblest to the most conspicuous
republican newspaper in the Rtato the
World-Herald has been condemned bo-
cniw < it criticised the man who bonstH
that his is "not the nrot-d of the weak
ling and the coward , " but whoso policy
with respect to the trust system a nys-
tern that provides for the people well
nigh unbearable impositions is HO lame
and feeble that oven the Chicago
Record-Herald , ouo of the loading
republican newspapers of the United
Statts , was impelled to ray that Mr.
Uoosovelt used "a literary blunderbuss
where the people expected ho would go
gunning with a repeating
lo bo sure , republican paporB like tho.
Omiiha Boo. the Lincoln Journal nnd
the NoitroLK NKWS are giving cordlai
indorsement to that message regnrdleB1
of its contents. Indeed , the Record-
Herald , referring to this message , Bald
that "it is procisaly the sort of n IIIOB.
sago that will aroufio the greatest on.
thuHinsm in the columiiB of ropublie-ai :
organs" because "tho same old platl
tudes" would servo to commend n Ktate
paper that has "not n passage to make
the pulse beat faster or a now rccom
niPiielation that requires a Bocont
thought. " World-Herald.
If , as the World-Horald declares , ll
did , in a minor key , compliment Prod
dent Roosevelt on n few points , it hai
attained a broader policy than it hai
yet boon credited with , where republicans
cans nnd republican policies nro con
corned. Republicans , generally , have
believed that the World-IIorald hai
been about as hide-bound , politically , ni
it is possible for n partisan newspaper te
leoonio. Republican measures of ac
knowledged merit which have boor
commended by broad-minded democrats
crats , have generally boon condomnee
or ignored by the World-Herald ; while
democratic policies that had become the
laughing stock of the people have booi
uphold and supported , blluelly and
faithfully. One cannot soon forgol
how that newspaper has denied pros
perity under a republican admiuiBtra
tion , when such n condition was posi
tively proven on its pages , other thar
editorial. Tlmt paper supported free
silver even after the people had decide *
that the policy of changing the mon.
otary laws to accord with the free
silver idea was as freakish as greea.
mckism. It supported the "imperial
ism" and "militarism" policies of the
party with nn energy and apparent
earnestness that would bo accorded
real issue , its editor doubtless knowiup
full well that it was more buncomto
md that the country was in no wise
threatened as alleged.
The World-Herald , in turn , accuse ;
the Bee , State Journal nnd NEWS with
being too strictly partisan. Perhapi
this is true. If eo it is a weakness thai
Hhonld -corrected. . It may not at all
times adhere to that policy , but THJ-
tfr.ws believes the influential nowspapei
s the ono that is broad enough to sec
faults in its party , nnd commend the
strong points in the opposition. Cer
tainly THE NKWS cannot bo accused ol
favoring the president's treatment ol
the Bugar question ns between the Cuban
ilauter and the beet industry , nud it ie
Mxtiefled , not by reason of the position
t has taken , perhaps , that the presi-
lout's policy regarding the question
las broadened. This paper was nmong
he first , if not the first , to show that
Governor Savage was not satisfactory
u the executive oflice , and it has en-
loavored to bo broad enough to credit
lemocrats wi'h honor , integrity nud
aithful service to the people in
ustances , and has commended demo-
ratio policies. On the contrary , TUB
NKWS falls to recall nn instance whore
he World-Herald ha * condemned deiii-
wrate , unless tholr infidelity had boon
) roveu by the courts , and even then
omotimes that paper has continued to
land in their elofeuse. Nor is it ro-
ulled wherein the World-Herald has
reely commended republican ofllcials
ml republican policies , oven where it
aas boon conclusively shown that they

THE GUN WAS LOADED.
Carl Austin's Fowling Piece Wont off
and Shattered Some Windows.
From Monday's Dally.
Carl Austin , BOH of Mr. and Mrs.
An&tin of the Heights , | hud an experi
ence with a shot gun yesterday which
ho supposed to bo unloaded , thut ha
probably does not care to have repented. .
Ho hael been cleaning the weapon after
u hunting trip Saturday and was exhib
iting it to friends in his room upstairs
nt hia homo when in some manner the
gun was disoh-rged. Fortunately it
wn pointed toward no one and , beyond'
doing Bomo damage to property nnel !
frightening the people who hoard they
shot , thoro.wero no disastorous results.
The gun was pointed at a large
double window in the Austin homo
and the charge shattered the glass in
both the regular and storm sash and
entered n window opposite in the house
of P. Stafford , scattering the glass and.
frightening the members of the Staf
ford family. It is probable that no ono
was moro startled by the accident thna

Omahan , nn illustrated monthly mag
azine devoted to the industrial nnd
litornry development of the west , is in
Norfolk to got data for an article on the
boot sugar industry and other industries
of the town nud section. Such nil
nrticlo will bo of vnlne ns the magazine
is reputed to have n very largo circula
tion among commercial clubs and busi
ness men of Nebraska ami the east.
The business mm and club women can
undoubtedly afford to assist Mr. Cuuada
in every way possible in thus furthering
the interests of the community. It is
pleasing , also , to note that a magazine
of this kind IB growing up in the state ,
which has been rather slow in literary
work , or work other than the daily nnd
weekly papers. There is a field nnd a
need for n uingaziuo of this class one
that gathers data , historical nnd liter
ary matter from every section of tie |
state nnd the west , and presents it to its
reaelors first hand. It is with pleasure ,
therefore , Hint the Ornabnu is given en
couragement.
