There IB now Just a suggestion of

look UUo when complotoil , but admlr-

agine a great deal to realise Just what

tall.Tho
The first couiso of the stone has
been placed and masons haxo begun
lo lay the second course which hangs
out over that of the fiist. protecting
the walls from the water that will fall
off the roof. There'willbo four courses
of stone , all told , and the cornice
when completed will bo five foot and
six Inches fiom top to bottom. The
third course will bo composed of the
mammoth stones that are scattered
about the grounds , and there will bo
some heavy work for the blg derrick
to hoist them up Into place on top of
the structure.
To handle this work It will bo nec
essary to have the big derrick on the
upper floor of the structure and the
work of hoisting the big timbers of
this machine In place Is what Is now
engaging the attention of the work
men. It will need to bo elevated two
lloors from where It has been used
for several weeks and when It Is once
set up the big stones and other ma
terial will be swung Into place right
promptly and easily. Two smaller
derricks will also bo required In com
pleting the walls of the structure be-
/ foio It Is icady for the roof but It Is
* expected to handle the big work rapIdly -
Idly when the preliminaries are com
pleted.
Just now In addition to laying the
second course of the cornice stones ,
workmen arc engaged in placing the
timbers and joists of the attic and
their work has carried them up into
the air until they look almost like
pygmies from the ground below. Al
though Superintendent Williams is
absent from the city the woik is pro
gressing satisfactorily and there Is
yet strong belief that the roof will bo
placed on the structure before bail
weather inteiferes with the work.
The beauty of the new building Is be
ing slowly unfolded from day to day
and It is not only the admiration of
the people of Norfolk , but of all vis-
Jting the city from this section of
the state.

Harry Lodor Has a Couple on Display
and Has Information as to Where
Duplicates May be Obtained.
fProm Triday's Diillx 1
Harry Lodor has on exhibition a
pair of pictures of xvhich ho is very
proud and is exhibiting thorn to his
' friends and patrons. They nro very
good pictures and come close to be
ing models of the photographer's art.
One represents the Interior of a pa
latial saloon In the Dlack Hills , xvlth
a corps of bartenders lined up In
their white suits to provide Immedi
ately for the xvants of the patrons. In
the foreground Is a nickle-ln-the-slot
machine , and close beside it a rou
lette xvheol. The other Is the Interior
of a house of 111 fame with the madam
and the other members of the family
artistically posed. Mr. Lodor makes
a good talk for the photographic art
ist and In response to inquiries xvhero
duplicates may bo obtained , turns the
photograph over and shoxvs the card
of C. P. Michael of this city , solicit
ing further patronage from the same
sources. Mr. Lodor has not yet been
ordered to romox'o them because they
> are of a character that should not bo
prominently displayed , but Is of the
opinion that they are about on a par
with the pictures ho has been request
ed to dispense xvlth , and the slot ma
chines are ns corrupting , or more so
than the ones ho had maintained up
until a short time ago.

A large force of men is again at
work on the job , the larger number of
them being engaged in handling the

posse of olllceis Is in pm suit The
loss to the hank , including the safe
and fmnltmc , is estimated by Pres
ident G. W. Little and Cashier C. A.
Dai ling to he about $2,500.
Although M. J. Gump , a harness-

There is only ono door to his shop

NINTH STREET EXTENDED SOUTH
Graded Through the Forty Acre Tract
South of The Heights , Which Will
be Placed on the Market.
A J. Durland has graded and open
ed to the public an extension of Ninth
street through the forty acios of
ground just south of the Heights , with
the Idea of placing tbo giound on the
market in acre-tracts In the near fu
ture. The street hah been graded to
accord with the remainder of the thor
oughfare through the Heights. The
ground to he opened up xvill make val
uable residence property , particular
ly to those people xvho have business
at the now freight yaids of the Chicago
cage and Nortlixvestern , as it IH near
er to those yards than any other up
town portion of the city. Mr. Dur-
land is Interested in the next forty
acres south and he thinks it xvill not
bo long before the street xvill bo con
tinued through that tract also. This
xvill mean the ultimate opening of the
sticot through to the new freight
yardu of the Northxvestern.
Mr. Durland Is a man xvho has dem
onstrated sound judgment in matters
concerning the town's advancement ,
and his decision noxv to place another
addition on the market may bo taken
as Indicating his belief that the city
is about ready to begin expanding
again. There are other straws that
point to the same end. Property that
is owned by non-residents xvho nro
in position to obtain inside Informa
tion , has recently been advanced In
price materially and an Inclination
shown not to bo In a hurry to sell.

A Dozen Pretty Girls Will Travel
Through California In Interests
of Sweetness.
[ From Tuemliiy'H Dnllv. ]
Henry T. Oxnard Is still actively
engaged In advertising the sugar
xvhich Is tinned out of the Norfolk fac-
toiy. The folloxvlng taken from Print
er's Ink shoxx'B something of a move
ment to got Nebraska's product upon
the tables of California folk :
A do/en pretty girl canvassers will
travel through southern California to
educate people In the USD of beet
sugar Instead of cane , which Is now
the favorite. The young women will
visit each house In certain districts ,
and are In the pay of Henry T. Ox
nard , the Los Angeles sugar king.
Southern California Is the heart of
the beet sugar Industry , but the people
ple there oat 1,000 pounds of cane

WILL BE HEAVY HOLIDAY TRADE
A Year of Prosperity Will Induce a
Willing and Generous Giving at
Christmas Time.
There will bo n heavy holiday trade
this year. Added to the prosperous
year of 1002 , xve have another year of
prosperity that is putting money into
the pockets of every man in business ,
of every farmer , and of every mechan
ic and xvorkingman. At no time will
this money go forth into circulation
moro xvilllngly and generously than
In tlio holiday trade. Jobbers xvho
figure on conditions , and from the
present Judge xvhat the future may be ,
have undoubtedly equipped them
selves to meet the demand of this
certain oncoming trade. If there are
retailers xvho have not anticipated
this trade , they should do so at once ,
and place their orders immediately.
A good holiday trade cannot bo en
joyed by a merchant , no matter how
ready his customers may be , if ho
docs not have a stock In freshness ,
variety and volume to moot demands.
The merchant xvho dusts off remnants
left from u month ago , and expect ) ,
xvitli that kind of a stock , to enjoy a
largo holiday trade , will bo disappoint
ed , and ho alone will bo at fault for
the existing condition. Lincoln Trade
