New Brick Home of Engines
is Being ; Used Now.
M. & O. LOCOMOTIVES ARE IN IT.
The New 16-Stall Home of the Steeds
Is Now Sheltering the Machines
Which Run Into Norfolk Other
People Notice Norfolk.
IFrom Frlclny's Dully 1
Tito magnificent now roundhoiiBoat
the Northwestern yards , South Nor
folk , Is now occupied by the mon
ster steeds of steel and the old struc
ture has been abandoned an n shel
ter for the machines.
The new homo for the drivers IB
n IG-stnll Institution , modern In eovry
way and equipped with all of the lat
est methods for conveniently taking
euro of the locomotives. It Is the
newest on the entire Northwestern
Hystem and IB , too , the Uncut that the
companv possesses.
M. & O. Engines There.
The locomotives on the Chicago , St.
Paul , Minneapolis & Omaha line
which run Into Norfolk are now
housed In the now roundhouse of the
Northwestern. These locomotives
were turned out Into the cold and
frosty air by the Ilro which destroyed
the roundhouse of the Union Pacific
road. For many yenrn the M. & 0.
machines were stalled there but they
have been moved a mlle away since
the blaze.
Whllo this In no dellunlto Indication
that the proposed merger Is a Hiiro
thing , the fact that the engines of the
one company uses the roundhouse ol
nnother shows a very Intimate fool
Ing between the two , at least. Am
especially Is this apparent when It
Is noted that no matter how cold tin
night Is , the Union Pacific engines
stand out In the utmosphoro am
never got within seeing distance o
the Northwestern yards.
The following clipping from the
State Journal shows that outside people
plo have an eye on Norfolk :
"Tho Northwestern company Is
bringing the Nebraska Hues up to i
hlgn standard of excellence , " says i
Northwestern man. "Slowly , bn
without stopping the company is male
Ing Improvements to the property
that will soon place It In as gooi
shape aa any eastern road. Ever )
move made seems to bo fashlonci
for the economical operation of the
system. During the past year the
company has put In Improved coa
chutes at Norfolk and Fremont. The
company under the Elkhorn manage
ment had used the old bucket am
hoist arrangement and much tlmo
was lost In coaling engines and getting
ting the coal- Into the chutes for tlm
nso. Now It has plants where the
cars are drawn up a stoop incline will
a gasoline engine , and whore the en
tire carload can bo dumped out in i
few seconds. From the place the
coal drops It may bo again droppei
Into the engine tender , saving a great
deal of tlmo at every place fuel must
bo taken on the engine. This 1m
provoinont Is not an oxtonslvo one
but It shows the trend of the now
work. Now steel was placed over a
largo portion of the main line , and
nuiro now steel has been placed along
the lines for use as soon us It can
be put down. Better passenger equip
ment has been placed In the service
and the onglnes bought and placed in
service are as good as the factories
can turn out. Moro work Is plannoi'
for next year and by the end of an
other season no western road will bo
In n better position to handle the
continually growing trafllc than the
Northwestern. "

Army Officers Who Have Been
Here , Have Closed.
LIKE WESTERN MEN DETTER.
As a Qener.il Rule , They Find That
Young Men In the West are Too
Busy to Join the Army Always
Get Poor Stock From the Cities.
( From Krtilny'R Dally. ]
The recruiting ofllco which has
icon In progress at the Pacific hotel
luring the past few days , has been
closed and the army olllcers who have
md the work In charge have gene to
Columbus on n similar mission.
The few days In Norfolk were not
especially profitable so far as Becur-
lug now material Is concerned , and
the olllcers left without taking any of
Norfolk's young men Into the service
of their Uncle Samuel.
Nontenant George R. Armstrong
was In charge of the olllco hero. In
speaking of his work to n NOWB re
porter , Lieutenant Armstrong said ,
"No , wo have not had what you would
call great success from the viewpoint
of the army , In Norfolk. Neither have
wo Becurod n largo list of recruits
from any other point In Nebraska or
for that mutter from the wcBt. The
young men In the west are generally
too busy to Join the army. They are
nil employed and are getting good
enough Incomes , so that they are not
looking for the army life which ap
peals to many In the cities.
"When wo can got men from the
country , however , wo much prcfoi
them to the city stock. Wo are al
ways more sure of the character of
the men whom wo get out hero. In
a oily we get very frequently the scum
of the earth without really any wa >
to distinguish between them and n
better man at first sight.
"Then there are always n lot of
tramps hanging around a city will
nothing at all to do and they aroghu
enough to Join the army because 1
looks easy and Is Biiro pay.
"Wo go to Columbus from horo. "

By the King's Command.
The News Is In receipt of a copj
of "By the King's Command , " a book
just published by the Broadway Pub
lishing company of New York. It Is
written by Reginald Drew , and deals
very Interestingly upon the heart his
tory of the beautiful , unfortunate ,
Anne Boleyn who , royally wooed for
seven years , gave her bund where her
heart was not , shared the throne of
England , and went to the block when
the gusty passion of her flcklo lord
found In Lady Jane Seymour a now
object for his lusty adoration ought
to furnish good material for a love
romance.
What should make "By the King's
Command" of special interest to the
people of jhls region is the fact that
It was written by Rev. George Bray ol
Ponca , Nob. , "Reginald Drew" being
bis pen name. Mr. Bray was rcaret
at the court of England , his father being
ing n retainer at the palnco of the
qucpn , and his family since the com
Ing of William the Conqueror being
near the sovereign. He Is as familial
with Hampton court , where much ol
the action of the Jiook takes place
as the average boy is with his play
ground. Ho has had exceptional ac
cess to historic relics and such
chances to become familiar with the
traditions of the court , as , combined
with his taste as a hlstriographcr , to
qualify him in a signal way for the
production of an historical work. Mr.
Bray has written a number of short
stories and sketches prior to under
taking "By the King's Command , " but
nothing to ambitious or of such
length. Ho has other novels In the
course of preparation which he pro
poses publishing in duo time.
MIGHT HAVE WRECKED BUILDING
A Terrific Explosion Was Narrowly
Averted at the I. M. Mncy
Studio.
[ From Saturday's Dally. ]
What might have very easily re
sulted in the death of a Norfolk man
and at the same tlmo the utter wreck
ing of ono of the now structures in
the city , was only averted at the Macy
studio the other day by an accident.
In cleaning the photographic work
room , an employe had swept up every
thing In sight and incidentally a
small box of Hash light powder , which
Is said to bo five times as powerful
as gunpowder Itself. The rubbish
was all carried to the basement of the
building and hero it was , later , that
Mr. Macy started to throw the mater
ial into a furnace lire. Just as ho
was about to dump the entire load ,
his eye accidentally discovered the
tiny case of powder and It was taken
out. If it had gene Into the llames ,
an explosion demolishing the entire
building and Instantly killing the man
would have unquestionably resulted.

BartenderFroni Bloomfield was
Right in Claim.
A DOCTOR GAVE HIM MEDICINE.
The Stranger Who Claimed That He
Had Been Drugged and Robbed , Was
Really Drunk and Fell Asleep When
He Took the Antidote.
[ From Frliliiy's Dally. ]
The bartender from Bloomfield who
dropped into the city and knew noth
ing more until ho woke up In jail the
next niornlng , his money nnd watch-
chain missing , was really drugged the
night before , just as ho claimed to
his friends next day.
Ho was drugged , however , not by
a thug or a hold-up man as ho told his
acquaintances , but by a doctor of mod-
Iclno who was paid for the service by
the stranger , himself.
Dr. J. H. Mackay Js the man who
drugged the Bloomtleld visitor. Ho
did It because the fellow came Into
his ofllco Intoxicated nnd wanted to
bo "fixed up. " Dr. Mackay gave him
a medlclno which would make him
sleep , an antldolo to the whisky , and
told him to got immediately to bed
because before so very many minutes
ho would bo groggy and fall asleep.
How He Was Drugged.
.At about 10 o'clock in the evening ,
the man came into the physician's of
llco and dropped Into a chair.
"Well , " asked the doctor , "what's
your story ? "
"Nothing , " ho replied.
"You've been drinking , " suggested
Dr. Mackay.
"Yes , " the fellow admitted.
"Do you want something to brace
you up ? Is thnt what you are after ? "
"That's It. "
And underst.inding what was want
ed , the physician gave his caller an
antidote which ho well know would
put the man to sleep. IIo explained
this to the stranger and the fellow
asked to bo taken to a hotel.
"Have yon 11 fly cents ? " asked the
doctor.
"Yes , " said the bartender , drawing
$3.50 from his pocket.
"Give it to mo for the service , " said
Dr. Macka/ , and the fellow replaced
$ ! ! In his pocket. "When ho woke up
in Jail next morning ho had no money
whatever and claimed to have bcon
robbed.
Put Into a Wheelbarrow.
With his new patient in charge Dr.
Mackay started down Norfolk avenue
toward a hotel. In the middles of ono
of the business blocks the drunken
man stopped walking , refused to go
further and lay down on the sidewalk.
The doctor found a couple of his
friends and they agreed to wheel the
fellow , in a barrow to a cheap hotel.
It was Impossible to get in and the
loaded wheelbarrow was truued to
ward the city jail where the bunion
was given a cell over night.
He claimed to have had a watch-
chain when ho left Wayne but he
were none when ho went into the phy
sician's ofllco. The $3 that he had
bad the night before was also gone
and he had nothing with which to pay
his fine.
