A Sad Case of Insanity.
A sad case of insanity was before the
Pierce county board Friday. Hugo
Wockor and wife were believed to be
insane. They came down from their
home near McLenn Tuesday for n visit
with Mr. Wecker's father , south of
town. They stopped in town and > it
was noticed that they noted very
strange. They were noticed when they
wore coming into town Wednesdny fore
noon. Mrs. Wecker wns without n hater
or wraps about her head. The people
thought this very strange , ns the day
was very cold nnd n gale was blowing
from the northwest. They went up to
the court house , where their actions
wore notlcod and they wore taken in
charge. Weaker was placed in the jail
nnd his wife wns tnken to the hotel to
spend the night. The insanity commis
sioners thought that if the couple wore
allowed to visit Mrs. Weckor's mother
and father living north of town , for n
week or two they might gowell. Mr.
Wecljer is n prosperous young fnrmor
living near MoLeau and the son of Ex-
County Treasurer Nick Wocker. Mrs.
Weckor is the daughter of Mr. nnd Mrs ,
Mntt Triowiler , living north of town.
Better Profit in Nebraska.
The writer wns over in lown Insl
week , going as far east as Boono. The
evidences of prosperity so innrkod nil
ever Nebraska nro fnr less in Iowa
There is some building in n few of the
towns but nothing to speak of in the
country. The crops in that state an
fnr less in yield of sound grain thai
thoiio of our own state.

yond the point of producing profit on
the investment and the router who
gives one half the crop for the use of
the land , and in mnny cnsos pays house-
n nt besides , has but little loft for his
labor. Of course the man who owns a
good farm in Iowa and cares nothing
for the question of profits can live well
and bo happy , but there is little wonder
that many of the more enterprising of
them are selling their farms and coming
to Nebraska where they can get equally
as good laud for little more than half
the money. Times-Tribune.

teroHt in the linn to A. II , Vlolo , form
erly ooiinootod with the 1' , K. & M. V.
as engineer. Thin ohnngo hnn boon
under coimlduratton Hlnoo the early
part of the holidays and many know
that It was to take place , but the
pur 11 OH to the dual were not ready fern
n formal nnnouncomunt of the chnngo
until today.
Mr , Hmlth rotlroH from IniRlnofiH In
Norfolk with the boHt of wishon from
thoHO who have had donllngii with the
llrni. Many hnvo had the plmuuro of
hln acquaintance an a railroad man , but
nlnoo lie Identillod hlniHolf with the
business Interests of Norfolk two and
n half yonrH ago , bin olrcln of friends
have boon materially enlarged , and it
will bo with regret that many will hoar
of his retirement. Ho in gentlemanly ,
courteous and linn boon miccoHHful dur
ing his business experience , Ho has
not yet determined what he will do In
tko future but it Is hoped that ho may
continue to call Norfolk IIH ! homo.
A. H. Violo , the new member of the
firm is far from being n Htrnnger In
Norfolk , having made this city his
homo for 12 years pnst.For 23 years ho has
been in the employ of the F. E. & M , V.
railroad company , all but tliroo yearn of
that time having held the responsible
position of engineer. For mivoral torniH
ho Horvod the city as councilman from
the Fourth ward , and made an enviable
record in that capacity. All who have
known him in the past will bo well
plonsod to learn that MA interests are to
bo more closely identified with Norfolk
in the future and it in believed that the
llrm will lese none ot Its popularity
through the change.
The senior member of the drm , W. H.
Hoffman , has boon in business ] In Nor

years , previous to which tinio ho alHO ,
was n railroad man , Ho In popular
with all who have the pleasure of his
acquaintance and during his buHlnoHH
experience his acquaintances number
about everyone in Norfolk and vicinity.
While the old drm has boon popular
and him done a largo nnd increasing

Their ostnbllshment is well arranged
md they carry a largo and carefully
elected stock of goods with which to
supply the wants of customers. The
old drm has built up a largo patronage
md there is no question but that it will

Married at Manila ,
The Leigh World says : "A cnblo-
grntn wns received in Leigh Suudny by
Mr. Cowdory from Manila announcing
the arrival nnd marringo of his daugh
ter , Mlhs Alice Cowdory. ' 1 ho cnblo-
gram stated thnt she arrived on De
cember 27 , and was married the tmmn
dny. Her husband is Mr. M L.
Stewart , formerly of Lincoln , Nobr. ,
but who now has a government position
in the Philippines. As is the custom in
such arrangements , the groom , together
with n pnrty of friends , met the trnns-
port in the harbor nud the coromouy
wns solemnized before the passengers
landed. Although Miss Cowdory'
journey had n happy ending , from the
associated press dispatches regarding
the transport Sherman on which boat
Miss Oowdery wns n passenger , she
certainly had n very thrilling experience
just before her journey terminated.
The dispntoh snya thnt the Sherman
struck n rock uenrSi\n | Bernardino light ,
south of Luzon Friday night. The
transport sustained n heavy hhock nnd
some of its plates wcro damaged. After
the accident thirty-threo inches of
water wns found in its forward bilges
but fortuuntoly wns controlled by steady
pumping nud the transport proceeded to
Manila under Its own steam. When
the rock wns struck great excl'oment
prevnlled on board , nnd the passengers
promptly took their places on the smnll
boats with life preserver * but It was not
found necessary to put theihvjn nctlvo
use. Wo nro glnd to stnto tYh\t Miss
Cowdery's experience on the boa\\Nvt\s
no worse nud that the ending
happy ono. "
