OTHER POWERS ASTONISHED The Poware of the World are Amazed \ \ at the Rapid Development of the United States Upon the Seas Will be Second to But One. [ From Monday's Dally. ] "Walter Wollnmn in a Washington special to the Record-Herald says : Within four years the United States navy will he the second most power ful navy In the world , or at least so near It that even the experts will not he able to determine which navy has the greatest actual effectiveness that of the United States or of Franco. Paper estimates of naval strength are not an exact or mathe matical science , and expert opinions often differ. But it is apparent that at the end of 1008 , when the building programs now under way by the great powers are finished , it will bo -wholly a matter of guesswork as to whether the United States or Franco is entitled to the honor of standing second in actual prowess upon the seas In fighting tonnage and effec tiveness. Thus it Is seen that the American debates , to make the United tSates policy , publicly declared In senate debates , to make the United States navy rank next to that of Great Brl tain , Is much nearer realization than most people had supposed. In fact the rise of the American navy In the scale of relative strength , Its passing first one navy then another In the race until now it is a lively bidder for second place , Is one of the most marvelous developments of the gen eration. Twenty years ago the American navy was almost zero ; It was a sub ject of gibe and jest. Only six years ago , when the Spanish-American war amo on , it stood on paper sixth or seventh among the world's navies. Today It is the third , according to Senator - ator Hale , chairman of the senate committee on naval affairs , and four years hence It will bo a competitor for second place. Senator Halo's speech on the naval outlook and the remarks of Senator Lodge and other senators last week were cabled all over the world , and attracted attention in every country which makes any pretense to naval power. The announcement that the United States already regards her self as the third naval power and that she Intends to move up another notch may not he permitted to He unchal lenged by our rivals. In his speech last Thursday Senator Hale gave In formation concerning the growth and future of our navy , which has aroused great interest in the senate and throughout the country. Not until today were the facts and figures prepared - pared by the chairman of the naval committee available In detail , and they are now being carefully studied by many public men. Since the new navy was begun In 18S3 the United States has expended more than three-quarters of a billion of dollars upon Its naval establish ment. TUESDAY TOPICS. I. W.

[ From Tuesday's Dally. ] Madison , Neb. , March 15. Editor News : The Item In your Saturday Issue In reference to the location of Kay brothers and Shade On , prompts an inquiry and a statement Firsl the public are anxious to know whether the Kay brother thai was reported - ported as brought homo before the racing season had closed , in a pre carious state of health , has recov ered so as to be able to resume his share of the training and driving business at their prospective new quarters at Ncligh ? Second , the 2:01' : stallion I named as open for a now location , at some enterprising point , has been leased by J. J. Strickler and Leo Jackson of his old home town , for two years or more. He Is Strathherry 2:01 : : , a pacer by Roseberry 2:15 : , a trotter. It Is further stated that his fee Is $25 and that he took his record In a winning heat , with the lines thrown loose over his back and he at a jog ; and had he been driven out for a rec ord he would probably have been very near the 2 minule mark. He would mvo been a bonanza for a new com munity at a rental of $500 a year , not only for his Inherent and Inherited speed , but because this speed was backed up by such breeding In blood Ines. I can now point any community open to such oportunltlcs , to a chance to secure at a very reasonable price speed producing and richly bred sons of George Wilkes , thlrtyelght In the 1st. This Is merely standing up for Nebraska not for profit for me. P. A. Clark. [ It Is thought , In regard to the first question , that the Kay brother who was so ill has quite completely re covered and will be able to take his share of the training at Nellgh. A reply , however , from Kay brothers will settle the matter. ] Senator Dietrich's record Is being invesllgated by a senatorial commit lee this week.

Otherwise , sensitive as h Is , he would permanently feel th sting of false judgment , Hhrlnk fron all men and perhaps not oven hav the courage to attend n ward caucus Wayne Herald. Extraordinary Accident in a Fight at Cornlca. REQUIRES KNIFE TO CUT IT OUT Joseph Morfleld Is Struck by Joseph Dickey With Force Enough to Drive Tube Through His Talking Organ. Two Stitches to Sew Up , fFrom Moiulny's Dally.1 Humphrey , Nob. , March M. Spe cial to The News : II. was from no ilpe dream that Joseph Morlleld was spfforiug when ho cnmo to Humphrey from Corulea on Saturday , to got a doctor. It was from a pipe stem , ilrlvon through his tongue and hang Ing there with such persistence that it roffulred a surgeon's knife to got it out. The pipe had boon jammed through Ilio man's tongue by a liHlic blow that was dealt by Joseph Dickey , agent of the Nye , Schneider elevator com * pany. The trouble came up over sonu stock which was running at largo. It Is said that Morfiold called at the elevator olllco to make his view o the matter clear. Harsh words arose between the two men. Then came blows. Dickey smashed and the stem of the cob pipe which Morlleld had lu his mouth , was driven straight through the tongue and stuck. No amount of pulling would jerk II out. The tiny tube was practically perma nently pinned Into the bundle of nerves. Surgeon's Knife. Morfleld , with the pipe clinging to his wounded tongue , came to Hum phrey and submitted to an operation by Dr. Gadbois. The stem had to be cut out small bits al a lime. Aflcr the little chunks had all been taken out , two big stitches were required to sow up the awful opening lhalhad been made In the Injured tongue. Morfleld swore out a warrant for the arrest of his assaulter. Accompa nied by the constable , they relumed to Cornlca , The officer of the law talked the mailer over with the ele vator agent and finally made peace between the two men. They are now on speaking terms , but Morfiold Isn't able to do much of Iho speaking. THE EXCUSES THAT ARE MADE What Some Offer as Reasons for Not Being Christians. [ From Tuesday's Dally. ] Yesterday was a great day in the special meetings. Intense interest was evident in all Ihreo services. The first invitation for those that de sired to begin the Christian life to como forward was made yesterday afternoon and over a hundred young men and young women responded. Last evening thirty moro professed faith In Christ. The subject of the sermon lasl night was "Excuses. " Mr. Lyon said in part , "It Is one of the strangest things that any human soul would reject the help and salvation of Clod , Vet when the Invitation Is offered to become citizens of the heavenly king dom and heirs of God many begin to make excuse. There Is great differ ence between an excuse and a rea son. A reason is a just cause for do ing a thing. But an excuse Is a false reason , it Is a humbug. It is some thing given when we have no reason. Many have excuses why Ihey reject Jhrlst and neglecl Iho chrlsllan life ml I have never found any man that : iad a reason. "One says , there are many things In the Bible I cannel understand. Well , suppose there are. Do not let things you do not understand keoy you from accepllng the things you do under- sland. You comprehend enough about the scriptures lo know you are a sinner and that you can bo saved by forsaking your sins and receiving Christ. The best way to gain moro light Is by putting to use that you already have. "But , says another , Ihero are BO many hypocrites In the church. Wha' ' are you going to do about it If there are ? It will never help mailers to stand off and criticize. Even In the chosen band of apostles Ihere was one Iraltor. But because Judas was a hypocrite was that anything agalns James and John and Iho rest ? Th church has n right to have one hypo crlto In twelve. The counterfel proves Iho genuine. If hypocrllcH nr to bo losl so will you that , rejcc Christ. Would It not bo bettor t spend a brief time with them her than all eternity with them hereafter But 1 do not feel right , ' says an other. Nowhere in the scripture does It say wo are saved by our fee' Ings , but by faith in Christ Jesus 1'nint In your reason rather than your 'motions. If you bollevo the chrls- Ian life IH the right life to I Ivo , act ipon your coiiHcronco and honor your ilghoHt convictions. "Another IntorpiwoH , 'I will take my nances. ' But there are no clmneoM ibout It , It IH a certainty the one way or the oilier. You are olthor saved or lost " 'I four I could not 'hold out. ' You have nothing lo hold out. . II Is not , how much Htrongth you have , It Is hoin much power God has. You have your llfo to live anyway , whether you are a Christian or not. You have your judgment to moot , your prob lems to solve , llocoinliig a Christian does not Increase your responsibility. It helps you bear the roHpoiiHllilllty you already havo. The question IH am I going to try lo wilvo my prob loins and overcome my temptations with God'H help or without ? "And another HayH , 'Thoro are too many things I would have to fclvo up , and I am not ready yet. The only thing you would have to glvo up IH sin , that which will blast your llfo liolh hero and hereafter. God wants you lo have everything that will tiring permanent blessing and hap piness. Anything that would come between you and Christ you ought for your own hake to bo willing to forsake. You cannot afford to hold to some sinful deslro If you have to pay for It with your Immortal soul. It IHII'I fair to Hquoozo all the julco out of the lemon of llfo and then at death throw the dry dead rind In the face of God and ask for a prosperous eter nity. You are going to reap just an you HOW. " This evening Mr. Lyon will speak on "Tho Fnct of Sin. " Tomorrow at I ! p. m. at. the Baptist church will bo the first afternoon mooting when the vangellHt will speak on "The Story of a Great Revival. " Cottage Meetings.

It was a mighty good "Ole Olson" company thai appeared at the Audi torium last night and entertained the people of Norfolk. Nol BO much can bo said of Iho bouse which greoled Iho company. The theater was very thlt-'y ' filled. Despite the fact that a number of the members of the com pany were on the sick list , some of them having become qulto seriously ill , Iho play was all right and fur nished fun from the rise lo the ring of the curlnln. It was probably the best "Ole Olson" troupe that has como to Norfolk and Ihey will have a belter house , no doubt , when they come again. Letter List.

The fact thai Iho dopol IH to remain whore It now stands for the present , at least , will no doubt have Its offocl upon the strool car system which has boon for a long time planned between Norfolk and the Northwestern ter minal al South Norfolk. Everything Is now In roadlnoHs for the construc tion of Hiicli a line. All thai noodH to bo douo Is Iho laying of Iho stool and the Importing of the carH. The power to move the wheels Is all ready to bo generated and with the line ooiiHtruct- od , the electricity nocesHary could bo shol Into Iho metal al any moment II Is a wonder lo a groal many people ple who vlsll Norfolk , that no Htreel car line haH boon built. There are porhapH moro IrariHlonlH In Iho city of Norfolk , going acroHH the town , every day of the year , than In any other city of Nebraska except Lincoln iiml Omaha. There are rnilroailH from live distinct directions , each termi nating a division hero , and each pourIng - Ing n gorat number of travelers Into the city every day that goes by. The number Is not to bo measured by the hundreds a week , but by the many thousands. AH It now HtaiulH , there are three separate stations for railroads In Nor folk. One of Ibonr Is a union station Into which run the trains of two dis tinct companies. The Northwestern main Hue station Is between one and two mlloH from olthor of the other two. It Is nn Impossible distance for pedestrians. Tbo trip can not bo travel-sod on foot. Whoever makes H must ride. To ride , today , costs hack fare a quarter of a dollar. With a strool car service , Iho hun dreds of people who como off every train that outers the city , could bo very much moro rapidly than at pres ent , and for one-fifth the cost bo transported up town. The fact thai the big railroad platforms Hwarm with people almost Instantly after every train has stopped , Is enough of an Indication that the cars mak ing the run would bo crowded to the tops. Welcomed by Hotels. A streel car line would b'o wel comed by the hotels. It would bo welcomed by Ihe patrons of the heels - els even more. A palron of Iho heel - el now gels a ride for 15 cenls , where : io would gel It on a car for a nlckle. L * > ng since the holels of Norfolk were forced lo suspend Ihelr buses , because cause of the enormous expense. One andlord who has been out of business for several years , relates that his bus bills amounted to over $0,000 while ho was In Iho hole ! business. Whllo the hotels are no longer payIng - Ing this fare , as previously , the ex trnordlnary sums are still being paid by the traveling public , whore they might as well pay one-fifth of the presenl sum. Whore 1,000 rides now cosl $250 , they could bo had on cars for $50. And the fact lhal there would bo those thousands of rides , shows that the line would pay the stockhold ers. Trains begin lo enler and to leave Norfolk at C o'clock In the morning. At 10:30 : and 11 there Is another rush of them , coming and going out. At 12:20 : the big main line Iraln from the Black Hills comes In ; at 12:35 : the Boncstool train enters from Iho eaal ; al 12:40 : a train leaves for Chicago ; at 12:15 : three big trains leave the city one north , one west and one northeast At noon a Union Pacific train comes In fron ) the southwos and at 3 In the afternoon another one KIIOH out At 7ii : : ) a hit ; train from the oaHl , carrying paHHongorH from Chicago ami from all of Houtliurn No- bniHkn , ontorH the city with people- who wait until the uoxl morning to got conned IOIIH.
