EPIDEMIC OF SUMMER GOLDS ,
Many People are Suffering With the
Disagreeable Illness This
Season.
[ From Wednesday's Dally. ]
An epidemic of severe summer
colds is just now prevalent in Nor
folk which Is worse than any for many
years past , according to local physi
cians. They are the type that make
people feel miserable and good for
nothing , and not a few of the patients
suffering from the impudent little
disease have taken to their beds. The
people suffering arc not exactly good
humored. With their eyes sunk far
back into their heads , their voices
way off the proper key and their
muscls weak and ill , the men with
summer colds are good people to stay
away from nnd good ones too , to talk
with without mentioning the weather.
"Somo consolation , " growled one
who had iust been asked , don't you
know nny bettor than to take cold in
the sumnioh life ? "and that is that
hay fever will ho along In a week erse
so to get other people. "

On Certain Conditions Son-
ncnschcin Wrestles.

Local Sports Will Back Sonnenochein
for the Throwing Norfolk Man
Wants Either Thirty Days or Ten
Day Handicap at It.
[ From Tuesday's Dally. ]
On certain conditions , which do
not conlllct at all with the proposed
plan , H. T. Sonnenscholn , of this city ,
accepts the challenge of Frank
Dwyer , for a calch-as-catch-can wrest
ling match to bo pulled off In Norfolk.
The conditions are these : The match
to bo pulled off at the end of thirty
days and all conditions to bo ns pub
lished In yesterday's challenge ; or
the match to be pulled off at the
end of ten days and to bo finished
within 1 hour and 30 minutes , actual
wrestling tlmo. The match to bo
catch-as-catch-can , host two falls out
of three and the ptirso to bo from
$100 to $250 on a side. This state
ment was given by Sonnenscholn to
The News to bo published , this morn-
Ing.
Ing.Tlio
Tlio reason for accepting the chal
lenge upon these conditions is that
while Dwyer Is in training , Sonnon-
scheln is not and ho wants either
thirty days training to meet oven , or
will work with but ten and meet with
the slight handicap , which will simply
force action.
Dwyer Is champion of South
Dakota and Nortli Dakota. Ho came
to Norfolk expressly to meet Gotch.
Ho has been in matches which run
into tlio hundreds and was never
thrown but once , that time by the
world's champion , Jenkins , In 2 hours
and 40 minutes , actual wrestling timo.
He sent the notorious Terrible Turk
to the mat within six minutes.
Soiuienschoin has boon In the busi
ness , himself , and Is no slouch. He
went to the coast last year and did
things. Just now ho Is out of train
ing. If his terms are accepted , a
good match will no doubt result.
Local sports will back him for the
amount stated.
On last Saturday night Sonnen-
schcln and Dwyer each matched Gotch
and went down for two falls apiece
in 32 minutes. The limit was an
hour. Sonncnscheln stayed for about
12 and Dwyer for about 20 , nil told.
Company L Will Help it Along.
The athletically inclined members
of Company L state that If the match
is a go they will begin immediately tote
to prepare Armory hall for the event.
Mats will bo placed especially for the
match.

As a result Homo horses are bettor

It Is pretty hard to keep down the

REFORESTING THE SAND HILLS ,
Work is Progressing Satisfactorily
Under Government Supervision and
Tree Seedlings are Healthy.
[ From Wednesday's Dally. ]
Every Nebraska ! ! is interested in
the progress being made in reforest
ing the sand hills of western Ne
braska and the following dispatch
from Valentine under date of the
27th , gives the latest :
Prof. R. A. Emmerson of the chair
of horticulture In the state uni
versity , nnd Charles A.Scott , agent of
the bureau of forestry in charge of
the Nebraska reserves , have just arrived -
rived from an overland trip from the
Dismal river reserve. At Halsey , Pro
fessor Emmerson spent a day looking
over the government nurseries. The
one-aero seed bed containing 1,000-
000 seedling pine trees , is an in
teresting sight. The little pine trees
are in a healthy condition , and they
are making a splendid growth.
The jack pine trees that were
planted In the sand hills last spring
are making such a good thrifty
growtli that there is no question con
cerning the success of growing trees
in the sand hills.
The gentlemen stopped over night
in camp on the Niobrara reserve. E.
J. S. Moore , an agent of the bureau
of forostery , is In charge of a party
of six men who are surveying the reserve -
serve boundaries and making a
thorough study of the condition and
distribution of the trees they find
growing on the reserve.
The prospects for reforesting the
Niobrara reserve are very encourag
ing. The rivers , valleys and adjoining
hills have In recent years supported
a splendid growth ol timber , and the
marks of the sawmill are still visible
along the Snake river. Thoyoung pine ,
cedar , oak , ash and cottonwood trees
are making 'a splendid growth where
they have boon protected from fire
and stock.
Plans for carrying on the work ou.
this reserve will ho decided upon ,
after the survey Is completed.
