Nebraska is Interested in the
Rosebud Reservation.
GEN. DIDWELL IN WASHINGTON
George F. Dldwell , General Manager
of the Nebraska-Wyoming Division
of the Northwestern Talks Is Op
timistic for the West.
A Washington correspondent lind a
talk with ( Jeo. F. Bldwoll , general
manager of the Nebraska-Wyoming
division of the Northwestern who was
In the city to see about the status of
the hill opcnliiK up the Rosebud In
dian reservation to sottloincnt , and
gave the following to the press :
George Uldwoll of the Northwest
ern road , speaking of the opening of
the Rosebud reservation , said that the
people of Nebraska wore as vitally
Interested In throwing the reserva
tion open to settlement as the people
of South Dakota. Mr. Uldwoll said
that the day the bill was signed by
the president the movement to the
reservation would begin and ho bo-
lloved 100,000 people would bo
brought together , many of whom
would permanently settle In the coun
try. Ho predicted that with the res
ervation open to homestead settle
ment It would add 25,000 people to
South Dakota's population In two
years.
The South Dakota delegation be-
Hove that the president's opposition
to the Rosebud bill in Its present
shape will bo overcome and that ho
will sign the bill when presented to
him. Should ho Insist upon a modi
fication Insofar as the lands should
bo sold to the highest bidders , then
Senators Gamble and Klttrcdgo will
endeavor to pass the bill , allowing
the responsibility of the veto to rest
with Mr. Roosevelt.
Mr. BIdwell Is an optimist when It
comes to a question of tight times
during next year. Ho said that de
pressions might como to the country
east of the Mississippi river , but to
the westward of that great artery
there could be no hard times , for
farmers had larger crops than ever
before and had more surplus grain In
their granaries for market than ever
before In the history of the west. The
railroads , he said , would have to
move these great crops , and as the
outlook was most promising for a
i bumper crop in 1904 he saw no good
reason for the predictions of eastern
capitalists and , merchants regarding a
* threatening business depression.
i "The west will do the business of
the country until the east catches
up , " said Mr. Bidwell , who left today
for Norwich , Conn , , his boyhood
home , which he has not seen for
many years.

PEOPLE SWEARING AT WEATHER
The Cold Spell That Has Been HangIng -
Ing Around is Bad.
The coal man Is smiling these days
but the average man Is swearing very
fiercely at the weather. The Ice man
had almost enough of the cold before
this last spell , and ho really could
have got on very well without It.
Frozen pipes have resulted In a ma
jority of houses and the ordinary resi
dent , leaving home , has to turn off
the water pipes. It is a general hope
that this severe bit of biting tempera
ture may break winter's backbone and
convert the chill Into a warm and
balmy air. March is coming along
pretty quick now and everybody re
members the old Htory about coming
In like a lion and that other silly end
ing about going out like a lamb. Nor
folk people as a rule would bo willing
to take chances on the going out , If
it would only do the coming in stunt

Social Session of the Elks Held
Saturday Evening.
IN HONOR OF W. H. BUCHOLZ
Members Express Sincere Regret that
He is About to Leave the Jurisdic
tion of the Lodge , but They Wish
Him Success in His New Home.
No person ever left Norfolk with
so many regrets at his departure and
so many good wishes attending him
as W. II. Bucholz , if the sentiments
expressed at the social session of the
Elks Saturday night are any Indica
tion of the feeling which prevails In
the city. After the regular business
of the session had been disposed of ,
a long table was quickly installed
down the length of the lodge room
and a substantial repast was served.
In due course of time cigars were
brought , and Exalted Ruler Robert
son announced that Past Exalted Rul
er Reynolds would officiate as toastmaster -
master , which he did in his usual
happy style , throwing a tremendous
effort into an attempt to brighten up
the atmosphere , when the speakers
became despondent over the parting
with Mr. Bucholz. One after another
of the members responded as their
names wore culled and each testified
to the belief that the lodge , the finan
cial institution of which Mr. Bucholz
has been the head , and society and
business of the town will lose one of
Its most valuable members when ho
departs for his new home in Califor
nia. There were recalled his services
to the lodge as a member and officer ,
to the customers of his bank by whom
he has been consulted during many
years In their financial difficulties as
they have their physician at time of
physical ailment , his value to the prepress -
press and upbuilding of the town as
an enterprising , public spirited citi
zen , his loyalty as a friend , and his
sterling honesty and Integrity. Those
who have known him since ho came
here twenty-two years ago and have
watched his career since ho became
connected with the Norfolk National
bank eighteen years ago , were strong
est In their expressions of sorrow
at the parting , and yet they would not
change the condition , for they realize
that In going to Oakland , California ,
to accept the position of cashier In
the Central bank , one of the most im
portant institutions on the coast , he
Is but broadening his sphere of influ
ence and usefulness and the hopes
that wore uttered for his future suc
cess were unstinted. Notwithstand
ing Mr. Reynolds' efforts to put life
Into the meeting , however , there was
more of sadness than Joy Saturday
night , as the time for parting with
Mr. Bucholz came.
Mr. Bucholz was so overcome with
the many kind sentiments that ho
was scarcely nblo to control hlm.solf
while ho thanked the members. Ho
said it was the hardest thing ho had
over undertaken in his life , this
breaking of homo ties and leaving
longtime friends to go into a now
locality to carve his way among
strangers , but lie hoped to .so conduct
lilniHclf that In future no one In Nor
folk would over bo ashamed to meet
him and call him friend.
