"Off agin , on agin , gone ngln , Pin-

A telegram was received by Su
perintendent Fain from tbo supervis
ing architect at Washington , on Sat-
iiurday afternoon. It gave Instruc
tions to proceed with the work , using
tbo bricks at hand and altering , to
that extent , the specifications. This
Is as the work started.
The dlfllculty lay In the fact that
the bricks which had been approved
were too big to build corners just ex
actly as specified. Superintendent
Fain feared trouble later aud decided
tbo best way out was to settle the matter -
tor at onco. It was through no fault
of the construction company nor any
one else on the building , as the plans
and approval wore both made In Wash
ington.

Span on the Elkhorn for First
Time Saturday.

in South First street , is Jlnally Un
shod and In working order. Wagons
irovo over it Saturday for tbo first
imo since last spring , when the high
ivtiter tore It from Its foundation.
The cost of repairing the structure ,
o tbo county , has not yet been cstl-
nated by Commissioner Winter. The
repairs , however , at any cost are
worth while , as a vast territory filled
with people is affected by the com
pletion. Four miles extra every tlmo
ii farmer from that section wanted to
drive Into Norfolk counted up to a
considerable distance in the course of
bo summer and they appreciate the
relief.
The start to repair the damage was
brought about through a petition
signed by M. Shaffer and several him-
Irod other Norfolk people.

PERRY PLAYS ON 'VARSITY ' TEAM
Norfolk High School Lnd Holds Right
Tackle for Uni Throughout
Saturday's Game.
[ From Monday's Dallv.l
Frank Perry , the Norfolk high
school boy who made such a record
on bis homo team at football , and who
entered the state university six days
ago as a freshman , played through
the first game of the season on the
famous 'varsity line , and has evident
ly made good with Coach "Bummie1
Booth. Perry played at right tackle
throughout.
While his friends hero had looked
for much from the young player , they
had hardly hoped that bo would bo
able to oven line up with tbo "N
men during this season. Many husky
youths spend three years In school ,
working hard every fall , for a chance
to play on the line during the fourth
season. To make the "scrubs" dur
ing the first season Is doing much ,
and members of the local team , who
gave Perry his training , are delighted
with his showing. Saturday's game
was a preliminary workout with the
Lincoln 1 high school and for the first
time ' In two years the goal line of
the ' 'varsity squad was crossed. The
score was 26 to C. Coach Booth looks
with a doubtful eyoon the team's pros
poets for this year , as many of the
old men have not returned to school.
Perry is an Ideally constructed man
for football. Tall , broad and very
heavy , with at the same tlmo enough
flro and nerve to get into the fiercest
scrimmage , bo is sure to make a win
nlng. In the first game over played
by tbo Norfolk high school football
team , four years ago this fall , when
Plerco won , 50 to 0 , Perry was the
only man on tbo team "who could make
gains. With a heap of struggling nth
lotos upon his frame , ho would walk
across the field until somebody finally
stopped him.

Will Meet in Annual Session.
THIS TIME IT IS AT FREMONT.
Dr. F. M. Slsson and Rev. J.F. Poucher
Leave Tomorrow for That Place M.
C. Hazen Will Attend the Lay Con
ference Thursday.
Dr. V. M. Slsson , presiding older of
the Norfolk district , and Rev. .1. P.
Poucher. pastor of the Methodist
church of this city , will leave tomor
row for Fremont to attend the an
nual North Nebraska conference of
that church. Yesterday was the last
Sunday In the conference year and
the pastor spoke in the morning and
the presiding elder at night to inter
ested audiences. It was the first ser
mon Mr. Poucher has preached since
his illness.
At the last business session of tbo
local church resolutions were unani
mously passed inviting the return of
Mr. Poucher for another year's pas
torate hero and it is probable that the
conference will be governed by tbo
desires of the people of the church
and that no change in pastor will be
made. Resolutions commending tbo
the work of Dr. Sisson as presiding
elder were also passed , and ho has
certainly made a very commendable
record in bis field. It Is said that the
district , as well as the local church ,
was never in better financial condi
tion , that membership has increased ,
and that the spiritual tone of the
church is higher than over before.
On Thursday morning M. C. Hazen
will attend the lay conference , that is
to be held in the chapel of tbo Fre
mont normal school. This conference
elects three delegates to tbo general
conference of the state which meets
next May in Los Angeles , Cal. Mr. Ha
zen has been frequently mentioned as
one of tbo probable candidates to re
ceive this honor from the church. Ho
1ms warm friends and supporters
throughout bis district and it would
not surprise bis friends if ho secured
the honor. These delegates will con
stitute the law-making body which
will draft the laws governing the
Methodist churches of the world.
Bishop Andrews will preside at the
Fremont conference , which will bo at
tended by about 130 clergymen and
an equal number of laymen will at
tend the lay conference. In addition
to these delegates to the two confer
ences Fremont will be called on to
entertain the wives of the ministers
and laymen , and will have many
strangers in the city.
The annual conference sermon will
bo delivered Wednesday afternoon by
Dr. Gorst of Omaha , formerly pastor
here. Dr. Jennings will deliver the
address of the church extension so
ciety , and Rov. ,1. B. Leedom will con
duct the memorial service. Rov. Mr.
Poucher is on the program for a ser
mon nt the Congregational church

formerly pastor here , is to preach at
the Presbyterian church Sunday even

BLIND MAN BURNED TO DEATH.
Ashes From a Cigar Start Fire In
His Bed.
[ From Monday's Dnllv 1
Dakota City , Neb. , Sept. 20. Major
Rlx died yesterday morning from the
shock occasioned by burns bo received
at S o'clock last evening. For a couple
of years past Mr. Rlx has been a suf
ferer from cerebral tumor , which re
sulted in him becoming totally blind
about two months ago , also being to
tally unable to wait upon himself , be
ing confined to bis bed. Mrs. Tllx
bis wife , who has been a constant
attendant upon him , was in Sioux City
yesterday and Mr. Rix , being an in
veterate smoker , a relative sent liim
some cigars by his wife. Upon her
nrival home Mrs. Rix gave her hus
band a cigar which ho enjoyed , but
before it was consumed she took it
from him , as she bad some chores to
attend to across the street. It is
thought that in taking the cigar
fire and ashes must have dropped
into tiie bed clothes , for soon after
her departure the eldest of the two
little girls of the family , aged six
years , came running out of the house
screaming that their papa was on fire.
Neighbors at once ran to the rescue
and found the house filled with smoke
and Rix enveloped in flames , totally
oblivious of his surroundings. His
clothes and the bed clothing wcro
ablaze. The flames were soon
subdued , when It was found that Mr.
Rlx was burned to a char from his
body. Ho lingered in agony until yes
terday morning. A post mortem ex
amination will be held by Dr. Max
well as the disease ho was afflicted
with was a rare one. His brain will
bo thoroughly examined for the ben
efit of science.
