T7 TUB NORFOLK NEWS : FRIDAY , MAY 1 , 1 < J03. 4 : The Norfolk ftetns The lawn could bo mowed with a club thU morning , It Is pmMulo but nowlno certain that winter will now retire. Snow balls will ho the popular flower lor May btukotn thin year. It Is not only possible but probable that the fruit crop haB boon damaged. It was u million dollar rain , and not immt will bo deducted from the catl- siato. Now with a llttlo bright , warm weather , Norfolk and other llvo things would grow Homo. This wet may interrupt building opor- Allans , but it gives the soodfl and crops n clmnco.that they nm d. President lloosovolt surely wouldn't bo guilty of bringing this down from the Yellowstone with him. President Theodore lloosovolt of Washington , D. 0. , Is the guest of Ne braska for a few days. With two foot of BHOW In Germany , Nebraska is not getting the worst of which this spring IB capable. Thevo nro BOIIIO times in Nebraska whou the weather does not change often enough , nnd this has boon ouo of the times. These cold Bprlng winds frocr.o con- Bidorablo of the ambition to improve , make garden and clean up , out of many of the pooplo. By wireless telegraph : Iowa gave .President Koosovolt n cool reception to day. It cannot , however , bo charged ihnt it was a now Iowa idoa. President lloosovolt has como to No- troska , next year Nebraska will go to htm. lit ) appears to love Nebraska nnd it is not love unrequited. And Hides didn't have a word of 'warning about it in his forecasts so that the people might keep their base burners up and their overcoats out of soak. Norfolk may not bo the only town on earth , imd probably in not , but there are few that are bettor or moro desir able , taking everything iuto cousldor * tion. Russia outers a prompt denial of many of. the things that have boon charged against it in regard to Man churia , clearly indicating that the czar was socking no trouble with other powers. Norfolk's progress depends largely en the push and enterprise of her citizens but they are furnishing evidence that there is no complaint to bo made in this particular this spring. Nebraska couldn't help it if Presi dent Roosovolt's reception was chilly. The weather was entirely nt fault : , and even the warmth of the Nebraska greet ing couldn't overcome the situation pro- onted. The Russians may be willing to no- -knowledge the Monroe dootrine , but they evidently bellovo that the United has no Hay so in Oriental matters , ea- pecially.oa far na Manchuria Is con cerned. The Nebraska Olty Tribune issued a peoial Arbor day number that contains an excellent likeness of the late J. Ster ling Morton , and some strong tributes to his memory from men of natioun prominence. If the Nebraska spring weather could only bo made to behave itself during the Tiait of President lloosovolt there would be nothing lacking to make his reception enthusiastic , and perhaps enjoyable to the distinguished visitor. The president will probably learn tha ihoro in a contest on for the mayoralUy of Omaha before he leaves the state tat it may bo dopeudod on that his in dlaouce will not boused for the boned of either party or faction. Crops and vegetation may be retarde < "by this storm , but Norfolk will ooutinn to grow as teen as it is able to break through the crust of ice. It will tak more than this to stunt a city as live a Norfolk is this spring. As an afterthought it might bo propo to remark that Nebraska 'is not nine ! better than Germany with the father laud's two feet of snow , this spring Sleighridlng would bo preferable t skating nt this season. An exchange thinks it does not look just right for a man to dress himself u and shine his shoes , and permit acoumn lotions of dirt and neglect in his yard It certainly has a similar appearance t the well dressed woman who permits her house to remain untidy. Burt county is evidently not ye through with that bond issue question between former state treasurer Stenfe and the connty board , as the Tekamah .Herald of last week publishes about a ago relating to the tcRtlmony of ouo lombor of the county bonnl. ProMdont HooBOvelt couldn't PIUB round the hont ntato In the nnlon , but mint noodn pnni through it ut Its longest lliunotur. Other utatos were barely ntorod , or panned by altogether , but ho mint nee Ntlitntku front ono end to the other. No ono ImR particular sympathy with ho men who have hoen hnnlod up for laving Him notH In the HlronmH surround- tig Norfolk. They nro undoubtedly nwara tlmt they huvo boon violating the tntn laws , and olirmo to run the rial : for nfowpouudBof fluh. It ( mould not bo necessary to enforce ho IIXWH regarding notH niul Bolnlug In , ho vicinity of Norfolk for Homo tlmo o ooino , hut It will perhaps bo just UK well for the olllcors to continue thutr vlglhinco for n time to nmlro curtain that ho lesson haa boon well learned by hit ) china of violators. Iloltm M.

It IB chilly winds that como from the direction tlmt formerly was prolific of lot winds. Either kind is not ospoo- ally dOHlrnblo , but it is tmfo to predict lint the coiiHcquonocB of the chilly w.nd will not bo as disastrous as those attend- ng the hot winds of sotuo years ago. The Slonx Olty Tribune i y : "Bryan has attacked Cleveland again , ' it. " For- and tholuttor doesn't know - laps this is not exactly square. Mr. 3rynu should in Jtho future drop Mr. Cleveland u postal card or a copy of the Ooiuiuonor when ho attacks him. Andrew Carnegie in to give a million and n half toward the erection of n ) oaoo temple at The Hague. Ho should { ivo onongh to permit of the temple icing equipped with arms to qnoll any disturbances that tuny take place there- n , as it is argued that the bust guaranty of peace is to \ > o prepared for trouble. Some of the towim of the state are al ready attempting to swell their popula tion showing out of nil proportion to the census of 1000. It will not bo necessary for Norfolk to do this. 'When the next census ic tnkou this city will show n do- slrablo expansion , even though held down to the nnmo kind of count as in 1000. Gorman critics of the American navy nro convinced that it would not nuionnt to n great deal in n sea fight with that of the fatherland. Americans would just as soon have them fool that way until the ohanoa comes to demonstrate their error , when the American gunners would take some ki > ou delight in offerIng - Ing them a surprise paity. In the good old days it was at a lonely place in the country where trams whore held up and robbed , bat the modern train robber has evidently concluded and demonstrated to some extent ; that a safer plaoo in which to practice this form of ontlawry is in the heart of a oity at least that appears to bo the accepted method of modern times. Joe Hartley has returned to Nebraska. Ho quite suddenly absented himself from his homo state when the legisla ture tried to lift the lid of thr.t cigar box , knowing that jhe would bo called on to divalgo the trick. Now that the legislature has adjourned ho probably fools that bo is again safe in returning to the state with his exclusive knowl edge. It is said that a million Bibles are sold every year in Chicago , the sale being bettor than the combined business of any ton of the best selling books. It is evident that even this good showing is not sufficient to wholly redeem the windy oity , bat it is just probable that the strong sale of Bibles does not moan that BO many are worn out each year by reading and study. Those officers and soldiers in the Phil ippines who have formed the opinion that they were out of roach of Uncle Sum's strong right arm and could do as their baser instincts dictated , are to find that that said arm has a great reach and a sensitive touch to disclose and punish wrong. They will not be permitted to do as they please and es cape punishment. China does not propose to relinquish Manchuria to Russia nnd if the czar must really have that section of the im perial kingdom there is nothing for it to do but to forcibly take possession and it may not greatly relish the entangle ments into which it will bo forced by such action. Other countries beside Russia and China are interested in the outcome of the proceedings. The fellows who have been hauled up about Norfolk for maintaining nets in the streams may not feel extremely clover over the notion of the commis sioners , but those who enjoy the sport of angling for the finny tribe certainly have reasons to congratulate them selves over the prospect for bettor sport. All should bo niado to tuku their chances with the hook nnd line or nil Hhould bo permitted to nulii. Throe hundred and thirty-nine ycara ago today William ShokoBpoaro wait born at Btratford-on-Avon , Knglnml , nnd the three hundred years that have paBRod have not yet product d hla equal an an author and poet , contributing us much ns ho to the literature . 'and hui- gnngu of the KngHflh Bpcnklng people of the world. During the time that has panned Shakespeare's position us n I author han constantly strengthened , until now his naimi and works nro nu- doubtodly bettor known lhau ever be fore. Nebraska Iwsadded another now in dustry to KB already largo list. At Wymoto and Blue Springs mills have boon oRtabllHluul for the purpose of grinding up the flint that has hitherto bcon n wunto product of the quarries there. The article will bo UBod for thu ballast of railroad bodn and may bo in demand for city paving. Every now Industry of this character adds to the value of the state , and it is to bo hoped that ouch Nebraska town will in time support a factory for the making up of noino natural product into tomothing of commercial vnluo. The French artist who minted the picture of Secretary Shuw for the trean- ury department received $0,000 for his work , niul the portrait was completed in cloven hours , after but throe sittings. Since this fact has boon announced It will require sonio thought for a young man , choosing his life's vocation , to determine whether ho would prefer to bo an artist ; or a railroad magnate like Morgan. Both are evidently lucrative employments , with the proper swing and ability. The man who can take a few dollars worth of canvas and colors nnd turn it into n painting worth thousandrt during an ordinaty working day assuredly has some advantages over the common people. The farmers of Nebraska are rapidly eliminating common and cornh stock , from their farms and are raising blooded animals. They find that it costs no moro to feed and care for good stock than it does that of the ordinary kind , nnd when they have raised the animals they find that they have something of value and always in demand , A thor oughbred steer costs no more to raise thau common stock but ho brings moro on the market nnd is in greater demand , the same is trno of the thoroughbred hog , and of the milk of a thoroughbred cow , and of all such products. It costs a little more to make a start toward good stock but those who have done so generally find that it pays. President Roosevelt is to appear before - fore the public again Friday to bo both ered by crowds and ngnjn submit his arm and hand to the shaking process. The public ! may have been somewhat impatient because of his brief retire- uiout , but nil will hope that ho has found it enjoyable and beneficial. It is not of toil that a president manages to have a few days that ho may cnll his own and anyone who has held the position will undoubtedly appreciate the full meaning of such a rest. The public should make such n vacation possible , because the president , like the common est of us , requires such a change and would bo nblo to work better and longer because of it. It is really not surprising that Ne braska is attracting favorable attention from immigrants and investors , when the class of advertising showing the financial condition of the people being sent out , is considered. Secretary Royso of the state banking board has been disseminating some of the most valuable advertising of this class and his most recent ; quarterly statement is one of the best for the good of the state ever yet published. This statement shows unparnlolled prosperity on the part of the people as evidenced by the money in the banks , the record having again been broken by the amount of money on deposit , exceeding the previous high water mark by nearly half a million dollars. Thirty-one new banks are reported and the con dition of old and new banking houses was never better. With another good harvest this year the showing this fall will undoubtedly again break the record. The Amoricaunnvy received an im portant addition today by the launch ing of the big armored cruiser , Colorado rado , from the Cramp ship-bnildlug'yard at Philadelphia. The Colorado will be the largest vessel of the navy and will be well and strongly built so that it is believed that it will be able to hold its own with any of the first-class battle ships of a foreign navy. There ] is no question but that with the launching of each now vessel of the American , navy an additional reourity Js felt by the people of the country , who were really somewhat frightened just before the naval battles of the Spanish-Ameri can war by the comparisons then made. The evidence of American superiority on the sea as then furnished has not served to lull the people into falsa BO- onrity because they realize that Spain was not. a first class naval power and the work of preparing to meet a first class power has since gone steadily for ward , until the United States will in a few years not bo afraid to rneot nuy of them on the high seas. Climax of Trip Comes When Party Reaches Des Moincs. DREAT CROWD HEARS SPEECH. Chief Executive Preaches the Gospel of Good Citizenship Stops Are Made at Clarlnda , Oskaloosa and Other Points.

At Des Moliies the president kissed a number of babies. During the drive , four mothers , each with a baby In her arms , approached his carriage * nnd handed him bouquets of flowers. They then held the babies up to be kissed nnd the president did not dis appoint them. Ono of the features of the day was the largo number of school children that greeted the president. At every place ho stopped and nt many places where the train did not stop the little people were congregated , waving small American flags. This feature pleased the president very much nnd he re ferred to the children several times during the day. Stops were made at Shenandoah , Clarlnda , Sharpsburg , Van Antwerp , Osceola , Des Molnes , Oskaloosa and Ottumwa. The presi dent Is bearing the strain of the trip Bplendldly and his face has not yet lost the tan It acquired in his two weeks In Yellowstone park. At Oskaloosa. Oskaloosa , la. , April 29. The presi dent arrived at Oskaloosa at 0:30 : p. m. , half an hour late. The local ar rangements for the reception were ad mirable and the big crowd was easily managed by three companies of ml- lltla.

M. C. A. building jwas dedi cated by the president In a ten min utes' speech , the president standing In his carriage. Ho spoke upon the good the association Is doing and of th necessity of and demands for mor al and upright young men.

The president was driven rapidly from the Y. M. C. A. building to the railway station and departed for Ottumwa Immedi ately. MILES TALKS OF GOOD ROADS. Thinks Government Should Aid In Building Good Highways. St. Louis , April 29. General Nelson A. Miles made the principal address at the second day's session of the Good Roads convention. Ho said In part : "I know of no one element of civiliza tion In our country that has been moro neglected , and yet that Is susceptible of bes.owlng a greater blessing upon our people than the Improvement of our lines of communication and ave nues of Internal commerce. Our gov ernment has expended $500,000,000 for the Improvement of our harbors and waterways and now the attention of the public Is being called to our postal roads and avenues of commu nication are most useful and Important to all our people. If such expenditures of the national treasury have been made In the past for the development of railroads and waterways Is It not now a most appropriate time that the improvement of our roads should ro- celvo national attention and govern mental aid ?
