HILL TO BUILD 400 MILES OF LINE
Probabltlly that the Grade Between
This City and Yankton Will be Used

working nt a point on tlio liank where
llio old Yankton and Norfolk grade
incuts tlio rlvor. This Ki'ndo nniH
from Yankton In the direction of
Oinalia and was a part of an old
Hohcino to build a Ynnkton-Oinnhn
lino.
Oinalia Hoe , Doc. 21 : A report lias
boon received in Oinalia to tlio ef
fect that .laincn J. Hill , to round out
tlio Northern Securities ) company's
proportion , will build during tlio next
year about ' 100 miles of railroad in
Nebraska for tlio purpose of connectIng -
Ing the liurllngton with tlio Great
Northern.
Ono line , It Is said , will extend from
Omaha to Yankton , S. D. , and another
will bo built from ISrlcson , Neb. , to
Ynnkton. These two lines , it is figured -
urod , will furnish an easy outlet from
all points on the Uurllngton system
to the north , and also will open up an
extensive territory in North and South
Dakota and Minnesota to Omaha
trade.
"In one way , " said a railroad man ,
"tho now plans of Mr. Hill will provo
a detriment to the interests of this
city. Tlio Hue which is planned from
Kricson to Yankton will shorten the
distance from a largo number of Ne
braska points to Minneapolis and St.
J'aul and will permit of jobbers from
these cities entering this state In com
petition with our dealers , lint on
the other hand wo will have an al
most direct line into the heart of the
Dakotas , which will open a largo and
rich territory , making it tributary to
this city. At present it Is almost Im
possible for our merchants to compote
pete in this section of thocountry with
Minneapolis and Sioux City Jobbers.
In fact , the Sioux City jobbers prac
tically have things their own way in
the southern part of South Dakota , on
account of the poor railroad facilities
from other jobbing points. This will
nil be changed when the Omaha-Yank-
ton line is opon. "
It Is said that survey work will bo
completed as early in the spring as
the weather will permit , and tlio con
struction work will follow rapidly. It
is said that Mr. II111 has had the pro
ject under consideration since bo
gained control of the Burlington , but
that work lias not been begun for the
reason that he has been so busily en
gaged in the organization of the
Northern Securities company , which
lias met with so much opposition that
it has kept his whole attention defend
ing it.
ELKS GIVE THIRD ANNUAL BALL
The Second Annual Party of the Local
Order of Elks Was Given at
Club Rooms.
[ From Saturday's Dally.l
It was a great night for the Elks.
It was the occasion of their third
annual ball and they made a pretty
party of it. The club rooms were
handsomely decorated for the occa
sion. Punch was served at one end
of the dancing hall and other refresh
ments down stairs. Music was fur
nished by the Mandolin club of six
pieces. The committee in charge of
the affair , to whom much of the suc
cess of the party was due , were J.
N. Uumliclf , C. H. Sal tor and Hurt
Mapes.
Among the out of town guests were :
Mr. and Mrs. Von Hahden of Crelgh-

FIRE LADDIESJRE ALL HOME
They Have Returned From Fremont
and Are Glad to Be Alive
Had Goood Time.
[ From Saturday's Dally. ]
Tlio Norfolk , Pierce and Stanton
< ] olcgations to tlio state volunteer
Dromon's association convention that
has been in soulon at Fremont for the
past few days , have all returned homo
tind nro- ready to fight the Ilamos
which may break out in tills locality
with renewed vigor.
The boys who attended the throe
< lays convention in Fremont had a
rattling good time. They arrived in
the convention city with their own
special car , all bannered and decor-
ntod in colors and letters galore , and
they were escorted at once , in a Fre
mont hose cart , to the city hall where
the whole lot of them were arrested
on charge of attempting to keep the
peaco. President Hartford was heavily
lined In a refreshment way and Col.
Bob Reynolds was also assessed be
cause ho had beaten the outllt at
cards on the trip down.
Fremont turned loose to show the
Norfolk boys as well as all of the
other flro laddlea who had gathered
from the four corners of Nebraska
and the spots In between , the time of
tht'lr lives. And If It wasn't the very
best tlmo that the bln/.o scrappers
ever had , It was next to the best and
they would like to have It all over
again.
lOverythlng in Fremont was turned
loose for their benefit during their
three days' stay In the rlty. The
theater was a free one for a follow
who happened to bo labelled with n
badge of the Nebraska Volunteer
Firemen's association nnd there
wasn't any business hoime in town
to which the boys had not admittance.
On tlio way homo the delegation
which represented the Plonerr Honk
and Ladder company from Norfolk ,
organized n new chemical company
and went around town after their ar
rival home looking for a place whereby
by some mischance or chance a con-
llagration might have gained head
way.
"Hvoryono at the convention re
membered with greatest delight the
tournament which they had In Nor
folk last summer , " said one of the
delegation. "They all think Norfolk
Is about the rightost town they ever
saw and they all want to come again
just as soon as we'll let them do it.
They remember with universal sat
isfaction the line track which wo gave
them and the fact that a large num
ber of the state records were broken
in this city added to their Intense
interest. "
It was a merry lot of laddios who
climbed off their car when the North
western train hearing the Norfolk
delegation returned with them into
tlio city station. They all felt cheered
up and were glad to lie alive. And
( he best of It all was that every last
one of the bunch was glad to get
back to Norfolk "the greatest town
on earth. "

Krug Brewing Company Has Put An
other Man in Norfolk Because

George Dietrich , representing the
Krug Brewing company , was in Nor
folk yesterday for the llrst time. Mr.
Dietrich claims no relationship to tlio
senator from ' Nebraska. Ho does
claim , however , that tlio Krug people
are going to enlarge their business
out of Norfolk as a distributing point ,
and ho Is the llrst extra man to bo

introduced the salesman about the
city , "that Norfolk is going to bo

Mercury Drops to Twenty Below
Zero in this Section.
IT MAY MODERATE TOMORROW
Reports Show That the Cold Wave Is
Very General Many Frozen Ears
and Frozen Noses Have Resulted.
Weather Man Encourages Little ,
_ IKinm Monday's Dully. ]
I en degrees below zero IH not so
Intensely hot. that one need wear neg
ligee , but ten degrees below zero Is
the very warmest weather that Nor
folk has seen since Saturday morning
at S o'clock. During those forty-eight
hours up until 8 o'clock this morning ,
the temperature lias varied but ten
degress. The lowest point reached
was twenty degrees below zoro. II , was
readied just before daylight this morn
ing. The coldest point between Satur
day morning and Sunday was eigh
teen degrees below.
This morning wau the coldest that ,
lias happened In this section of the
world thus far during tlio winter.
Last winter It was just as cold on
February IS. Snow Hurries began
falling last evening and this morning
the earth was covered with a thin
layer of pulverized whiteness.
The cold wave is very general. He-
ports say that the greatest fall in tem
perature has been In tlio region of
Manitoba. The cold continues In I ho
Northwest Territories. Continued
cold is promised for this section , witlt
i Iltlio warming up tomorrow , per-
mps.
The streets were driven Imro from
icoplo and living tilings ; ears were
nipped witli slinging cold upon Ihoso
individuals who oven ventured out
of doors for the small fracton of an'
hour ; great scarfs like they used to
wear in the good old days when Ne
braska wan young and the blizzards
bad , were dug out of the garret and
wrapped around the man who stopped
out of the house at any tlmo during
the day ; and mammoth IIres were
heaped up within a thousand homes
in Norfolk yesterday when the damp ,
bitter cold of the frigid wave fell upon
the city.
Worse than the thermometer would
tend to indicate with Its mark of 12
below zero , the chilling blasts of
northeastern wind , flavored with a
raw , cutting dampness which ought
to have been ashamed of itself for
coming this far west , slashed Into
one's being and gave many a man
purple oars and very sore noses ns a
result of the frosting.
While there have bfjon days that
have boon very much colder than that
which Is today called yesterday ,
there have seldom been days in Ne
braska that were so painfuly felt as
this. The sun was not out to oven
make things look warm and a heavy
grey coloring toned the entire air and
the skies above. Norfolk avenue
looked like a long , narrow river and
the concrete sidewalks which line It
on cither side of the business section
for many blocks , looked like the
slock , smooth Ice of a skating pond
nion ) which one might slide for any
distance and upon which , also , ono
might very easily blister one's two
foot with the coldness of It.
Southern Lands.
Wo have excellent bargains to offer
in northern Texas lands the banner
wheat and corn c'-uitry of the state.
Wheat , corn , couon , tobacco , all klnilu
of fruits , good water , excellent soil ,
splendid climate , plow every day In
the year. These lands are cheap and
terms to suit the purchaser. Call and
got books , pamphlets , maps , etc.
G. R. Seller & Company.
In our advertising columns appears
the card of the "Now York-Honduras
Commercial Co. , presenting an Invest
ment that at first sight appears to
yield extraordinary results , but when
the wonderful returns of plantations
in tropical countries are taken Into
consideration , and the known fact that
Mexican companies in similar lines
are doing oven bettor , It warrants the
investigation of the man with Idle
money , or who can put a few dollars
aside for the future.
SOCIAL SESSION AT ELKS CLUB
The Fifty-Sixth Anniversary of the
Birth of Exalted Ruler Was Occa
sion for Congratulation ,
Norfolk Klks met in regular session
Saturday night. Three candidates were
Initiated into the order. At the close
of the ceremonies , the meeting was re
solved into a social session , in honor
of the fifty-sixth anniversary of the
birth of the exalted ruler , W. M. Rob
ertson.
J. II. Rarnes , esteemed leading
knight , learning that it was the birth
day of his friend , delivered a beauti
ful address n which he spoke of his
acquaintance with Mr. Robertson. "I
have known him , " said Judge Barnes ,
"perhaps as long as many In Norfolk.
Thirty years ago I met him here when
ho was a rising young lawyer of Mad
ison county. We have been together
in many a political battle ; wo 1mvo
fought together in many a law suit
and wo have been pitted against each
other just as often. And In all of that
time wo have boon the firmest of
friends as have other mon boon the
friends of Mr. Robertson. "
N. A. Ralnbolt followed with ro-
which were of n ( one to dull
