The commercial club at Schnylor if considering an offer from an expert packer of canned goods to establish n plant iu that city in which he will in < vest $10,000 providing n company can bo orgtnized that will furnish $15OOC or $25,000 more. The condition of Will Westervelt , wht has been sick for so long nt the homo o ! bis parents in this city , is showing nc improvement. Yesterday some of the Omaha doctors were in consultation ot his case and gave some slight hopes foi his ultimate recovery. One of the Salt or coal teams took ti spin east on Main street without a driver this morning , between 7 and E o'clock. They were not moving at such a rapid gait but that they were stopped by someone iu front of the old Norfolk National bank building and returned to the yards. Among the greatest freaks thus far reported as being done by the wind was the tearing off the cornice from the top of the Grant building , blowing out a couple of windows in the Cotton and Marqnardt blocks , from the latter n storm erwh being hurled violently to the ground , narrowly missing a passerby , and the tearing up of some 'boards in the plank walk near Fneslor's tailor shop. An Omaha man dreamed his place oi business was being robbed and an in vestigation the next day revealed that he had been dreaming the truth , and that goods to the amount of $000 had been stolen. Ho is now sleeping over time on the hope that ho will dream that the stolen goods have been re covered and hopes to find that true also. But he has some doubts about being able to even dream of snoh a thing in the town where Pat Crowe made crim inal history. The January thaw if that is what it could be called , having thawed quite continuously and emphatically for about four hours yesterday was given a de cided knockout by Boreas last night. The wind shifted to the northwest yesterday - X terday afternoon , started with a few gentle puffs and before night had as- flumed the proportions of a hurricane which it maintained until this morning. At times during the night it seemed as though the buildings must give way before it , but they held to their founda tions and this morning the displacement of a few empty boxes , knocking over of a few chimneys and the tearing down of other feeble or poorly constructed fixtures , are the only evidences of damages - ages by the gale in this vicinity. The murcnry in the thermometers was the most affected , making n drop of several degrees. It was the most severe wind of the season , and it is left to conjecture as to what would have been the result had been accompanied by snow , It might have almost equalled the blizzarcl of January 12 , 14 years ago. "Thelma's" Beautiful Stage Settings. An excellent production of Marie Oorelli's famous novel "Thelma" will be presented at the Auditorium on the 15th. The beautiful scenery and othur stage effects would alone make the at traction worthy of the patronage of the theatre goers everywhere and Aiden Benedict , the owner of the company , de serves much praise for the really superb surroundings with which ho has provided - vided this attraction. The book is divided into three parts , the play into four. Tno first act "Tho Land of the Midnight Sun" , shows the Alton Fjord in northern Norway in midsummer , the sun still glowing in the heavens although it is after midnight * The second act gives us a view of the famous Norwegian water fall Njedez- gorze , where Sir Phillip declares his love for the beautiful rose of the northern forest. The third net called "The Land of Mockery" , is laid in London , Bug- laud , where Thelma's pure spirit sickens nt the pretty jealousies , the deceit nnd vain mockery to bo found anywhere In the whirl of modern socallcd society The last act , called "Tho Land of the Long Shadow" , takes the audience again to tha1 Alton Fjord now in the time without nun , nnd devoid of light save that von by the Aurora Bore alls The scene Is the exterior of the bondo's house , being the same as that of the first not but the roses nro dead , the green foliage Is gone and the earth is mantled with snow ; hero-Is seen the "Rainbow Bridge" nud an electrio snow storm is introduced , which is claimed to bo ono of the most realistic scones ever presented upon any stage. The noting of the company is said to bo excellent and the wardrobe worn by the ladies to bo the equal of that worn in any of the largest productions. PROTECT THE QUAIL. Reports In Proceedings of the Orni thological Union of Nebraska. Among the many interesting and in structive reports in the second "Annua Proceedings of the Nebraska Ornitholog ical Union" , are two notioablo papers ono of which is from L. Sessions o ! this olty and which records the changes that have taken place In the past 30 years in the bird fauna of the prairies. No person probably In the state has had the long years of observation , the opportunities and study , or possesses the natural inclination that would en title his opinions in this particular field to so high a consideration as these of Mr. Sessions , and his report , dating back to 1871 , when the prairies of Ne braska were unscorrod by the plow of the farmer , is a most exhaustive and masterly ono. Another instructive article Is by Prof Lawrence Brnner of the state univer sity , dealing with the value or harmfulness - fulness to the agriculturist of the birds that are found In the state. Mr. Bruner makes out a case In favor of 05 per cent ot the 203 species of birds of the state Of special interest Is the paragraph in his report regarding the quail. Perhaps no other bird , writes the pro fessor , that frequents the farm pays higher for the grain it eats than does the quail living about the hedgerows , groves and ravines , whore insecl enemies gather nnd lurk during the greater part of the year , this bird not only siezes numbers of these enemies daily during the summer months when they are abroad in the land , but all winter through it scratches among the fallen leaves and other rubbish that ac cumulates about its haunts seeking for hibernating insects of various kinds. Being a timid little creature , the quail seldom leaves cover to feed openly in the fields and therefore does but little actual harm in the way of destroying grain. In fact it only takes stray ker nels that otherwise might be lost. This bird is one of the few that feeds upon that unsavory insect , the chinch bug ; and the number of the pest it destroys treys Is really astonishing. No farmer nor fruit grower should ever kill a quail nor allow anyone to hunt it on his premises. DROWNED IN THE ELKHORN. George Reehl Goes Into the River While Harvesting Ice. M. J. Romig of THE NEWS office re ceived n telephone message this morn ing from West Point , notifying him that his uncle , George Reehl , had been drowned in the Elkhorn this morning , going through the ice. At last reports the body had not been recovered , bat the work of searching for it was still going on. Another man , named Litky , who went in to rescue Mr.-Reehl , had a narrow escape with his life. The last known of Mr. Reehl , he was working for the West Point brewing company and it is supposed that he had started to work putting up ice for his employers when , the unfortunate acci dent occurred. The drowned man was a member of the Woodmen of the World , left a wife and three sons ; two sisters , a brother and an aged father of 85 years , survive him. His sister , Mrs. Romig of Neligh , telegraphs that she will leave for West Point tomorrow pro viding they find the body. The funeral arrangements will , of course , not be an nounced until the body is recovered. Dr. Caldwell , who has been visiting Norfolk for some months , will be here again on Friday , January 10 , and may be seen at the Pacific hotel. The reason that the doctor is late this month is be cause she spent the holidays with rela tives in Louisville , Ky. , thus delaying her regular trips. Bat she will be here ready to see her patients again next Friday.

It is nl- cged thnt some of the crow were asleep on the train which crashed Into the en gine oconpied by Fireman Morroll. Dho suit Is brought on the grounds that the company violated the law in com pelling its employes to work without ho required amount of rest. It Is the argost suit of the kind ever instituted n Gage county. Manager Sprcchor spared four men of ils force to go to Sioux City nnd help straighten out telephone affairs there. The biggest damage at that place was the blowing down of the cable that spans the river. The men who went were E. J. Denny , T. H. Namur , J. T. Scott and Win. Froser.

The first bign of croup is hoarseness. A day or two bo- 'ore ' the attack the child becomes hoarso. This is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough. Give Chamberlain's- Cough Remedy freely as soon as tho' child becomes hoarse or even after tho1 rough cough appears , 'and ' it will dis- ' pell all symptoms of croup. In this * way all danger nnd anxiety may bo' avoided. This remedy is used by many' ihonsauds of mothers and has never' been known to fail. It is , in fact , the only remedy that can always bo de pended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by A. H. Kiesan Merely a Reminder.
