ladles' wraps. For a time they flocked
in thick and fast. There were Just
174 women altogether , to whom checks
Imil to.bo . issued for tholr wraps nnd
headgear. Frank's friends say that
while ho has had that many on his
hands , ono at a time , during his whole
lifetime , perhaps , it is a cinch ho
never had 174 on his hands at one
time and that is the cause of the whole
injured gripper. *

BERESFORD FINISHED HIS NAP.
How The Actor Succeeded In Quieting
a Child.
Actors are famous for tholr ability
to make friends with children at short
notice. Traveling , as they do , week
after week , theatrical folks are sure
to bo brought Into contact with llttlo
ones who are weary of riding In cars ,
and are willing to make friends with
fellow-passengers that attract them.
An actor to whom a child will not take
naturally Is a rarity. Harry Bore.sford ,
who plays the good-humored Professor
( inodwllllo , In "Tho Professor's Love
Story , " Is famous for his love for chil
dren , while the eagerness with which
they reciprocate his regard , proves
that ho known how to please them.
He tells one story In Illustration of
thlH which Is decidedly amusing.
Mr. Beresford spent last Hummer In
the beautiful Catsklll mountains , amid
the scenes made famous by Washing
ton Irving , going down to Now York
once a week , Ono day , as bo made
his weekly trip on the railroad , ho
tried to take a nap , not fooling very
well , while some of the ether passen
gers , many of whom were personal
friends of his , followed his example.
Suddenly a dreadful yowl was ut
tered by u llttlo girl In a seat near
Mr. Beresford , followed by a number
of explosive sobs and shrieks of bad
temper which told that the young lady
had n will of her own. It was awful
while It lasted. Her mother quieted
her after a time , and Mr. Beresford
composed himself for another nap , but
it was very short. Again the yowling ,
sobbing and shrieking , with added
force , as the llttlo girl throw her foot
about and throw her lint on the lloor.
"Tho young lady seems to bo an
noyed , " observed Mr. Beresford , quiet-
ly. "Why don't you quiet her , " said
ono of his friends.
"I will , " answered Mr. Beresford ,
and , getting up ho made a fo\v grim
aces at the little ono which ho had
used successfully on the stage many
limes , although not In "The Profes
sor's Love Story , "
The child stopped in astonishment ,
as Mr. Beresford handed out n few
more of the most comical faces In his
repertoire , and , sitting back in his
se'\t , ho was well .satisfied with the re
sult of his efforts , for the youngster
had stopped for good.
The mother looked at him grateful
ly , then she remarked to her little
daughter , in tones distinctly audible to
everyone in the car : "Now there , I
told you the ugly man would look at
you if you didn't keep quiet. "
There was a roar of laughter , but the
little girl did not cry any more , and
Mr. Beresford was able to finish his
nap.
PREACHER WAS AN EX-PUGILIST
He Laid Out a niacksmlth In About
Two Swings t < ev. Mr. Roselle
is Dead.
A number of Norfolk people may re
member the Uev. Mr. Uosello , who at
one time conducted evangelistic meet
ings In this city , it Is reported that
ho died on Christmas morning at Loveland
land , Col. It is said of Mr. Hosello
that he bad at one time in his llfo
been a prize fighter. His science
came in handily on the night before
ho died. A blacksmith in the village
had angered the people nnd theytwcro
after him. Locking himself la a room ,
lie sought refuge. The mob broke
down the door nnd the blacksmith
came forth ready for battle. Ho
struck the minister first. The ex-
pugilist landed a loft upper-cut and fo-
lowed it with a hook to chin. They
counted the blacksmith out and that
night the pugiist orator told his au
ditors that when they needed protec
tion they might call upon him. The
next moiniug the minister was strick
en with heart failure nnd died.

Leaving a brief note In his room

THE FARMERS MAY WIN ON WHEAT
If Prices Continue to Rise North Ne
braska Will Make a Good Specu
lation on Grain and Stock.
fFrom Tuesday's Dnlly.l
The flurry In the wheat pit at the
board of trade , on account of the pros
pects for war between HiiBsIa and
Japan , and the upward Jump in price
Is most gratifying to those who have
been Inventing In wheat , and the farm
ers who have tholr bins full and wait
ing for a good bid.
Many of the farmers In north Ne
braska have been holding all or a portion
tion of their crop for a raise and this
will bo the tlmo they will make a good
thing by It if the war continues to
threaten. The Norfolk mill company
has judiciously laid in a large supply
of grain , and such an Investment would
bo the part of wisdom almost any year
as the price usually goes up'later In
the season , but this year It will bo an
especially good investment , providing
there Is a war and the prices are
boomed high.
Other Investors in Norfolk and this
part of the state , have also been buyIng -
Ing the grain that the farmers have
been willing to sell and will undoubt
edly realize handsomely on the invest
ment.
Not only in wheat Is money likely
to bo made by farmers , mill and ele
vator men , other markets ai-o quite
likely to follow stilt , and the bids on
corn , oats , and also on cattle and hogs
are very likely to jump to war prices ,
which will bo beneficial to the agricul
turalists as well ns those who have
been Investing In the products.

BLANKET OF SNOW HAS FALLEN
A Downy White Covering of Warm
ness Now Spreads Over the
Level In This Section.
The snow came. The weather man
said it would. And It was ono of the
heaviest cloaks of whiteness that has
fallen over the ground of this vicinity
for many a moon , it came down in
that quiet , peaceful fashion which re
lieved all fearful minds of any bliz
zard notions and laid a soft , colorless
mat of universal thickness all over
the earth. The streets this morning
were long , unmarrcd avenues of pure
white crystals which loked like n
blanket of the downiest texture and
which , with a gleam of cleanliness
over It all , looked good enough to
eat for fair. It was a snow , too ,
which had moro than ono effect upon
the commerce of the world , to say
nothing of the spirits of the Inhabi
tants. Being a wrap which \\u\\\i\ \ \
protect the winter wheat , it had Its
effect upon the market. Being full
of dampness and of colds and coughs ,
it has brought business to the rub
ber man and the druggist and the
clothing man , withal.

it is Unconstitutional.
NORFOLK MUCH INTERESTED
The Bounty on Sugar Beets Was Of *
fered In 1895 and Was Never Paid-
Norfolk Company Tries to Collect
and Demurrers are Filed.
Attorney General Prout has filed n
lomurror In the sugar bounty case
which greatly affects Norfolk and the
surrounding country. Ho decides tlint
the sugar bounties for which the Nor
folk company has brought suits arc
unconstitutional. The bounties were
offered by the state in 1895. In re
gard to the mutter a Lincoln report
flays :
Demurrers wore filed in district
court in the cases brought by the
sugar beet companies to collect the
bounties offered them In 1895 on beet
sugar. Warrants were Issued for the
money hut there Is no appropriation.
lUtornoy General Prout In his demur
rers to the petitions of the Oxnard and
Norfolk companies , takes the ground
that the law providing for thobountles
Is unconstitutional in that the sec
tions of the constitution are violated
which provide that the credit of the
state shall never bo given to any In
dividual or corporaions , nor shall do
nations bo made without submitting
the question to a vote of the people.
The objects of the act , the state urges ,
