Norfolk ttnd nortti Nebraska are un the rend to nrnjirpsB and people vltq sro Inclined to doubt It are cor- illnlly Invltrd to come and BOO Tor lliotn selves , It wns not desirous that Nebraska olianld bo Btrttclt with a race war , but Inasmuch n tt Inndod In the bnd Inntlfl at Omnlm there couldn't Imvo lioon much dnmago nocoiuiillshod at the worst St. txnila 1ms rntflod the pursio iioooannry to Rocuro the mooting of the national dotnocrnllo convonlloii.

Stand up for Nebraska nnd follow the plow. It IH not HttrprlHliiK that Nebraska lialuil hay finds a ready niarlcet In Chicago , when In the eontor of each halo Is found a nice moss of pratrlo chickens or iptall. It would not ho HO distressful to live on Imlod hay with dial sort of food concealed Inside. Mr. Hryun IH probably thoroughly 'convinced by this tlino that Oonnecll' cut deserves to bo numbered In the onoiuy's country very emphatically. It was certainly not a friendly coun try that would net in and take a year's presidential Hillary almost out of his hands. With the people Interested In the Northern Securities company tight- nniong thoinsolvofi It Is reasonably HU'O | to believe that the publle IH be ginning to come Into full rights In the case. It was hardly to bo expected that the decision of the United States Hiipromo court would carry so far and bo so effective. The Uattlo Crook Kntorprlso has recently presented a very greatly Improved appearance. The size of the pages have been reduced to IIvo columns and the unnibor Increased from four to eight. Kdltor Martin Is a thorough all-around printer and u discerning editor , and the Kntorprlso deserves to llonrlsh and grow In Its field of endeavor. Finally the district attornoyshlp matter Is to be adjusted by the se lection of .Indge llaxter of Omaha. Summers has been holding on for quite afhilo after it had been de creed that ho was to lose the place and the selection of Maxtor , whllo It may not bo acceptable to him , will provo gratifying to the people who have been "up In the air" over the matter. The opposition to Preldont Hooso- vclt appears to have been effectually quieted and those who do not desire his election are now turning hopeful eyes to the democrats and Uio array of candidates who have been select ed as the possibilities with which to head the national ticket of that par ty. The friends of Parker and those of Hearst are evidently lining up for a lively scramble , with the advantages apparently In favor of Hearst as fai ns the west is concerned. The Nerd Nebraska Dodo is a new candidate for the favor from the reading public , coming out of the Graphic office at Atkinson , with F. P. Meiulo as editor. The name Is Indic ative that Its field of usefulness will bo largely confined to the people who read and understand German , but It expects to reach readers throughout North Nebraska , and es pecial attention will bo paid to matters - tors of public interest In Doyd county. The street commissioner of Nor * folk Is determined to do his full share toward the making of a bettor and cleaner Norfolk and every Individual citizen who has a spark of civic prldo will lend a hand In forwarding the work. Good streets , substantial side walks , clean alleys , handsome lawns , and well kept parks and flower gar- ilciM add ImituMHiiralily to the ap pi'iinutco of a town and Norfolk Hhonhl bu a city worthy of emulation In thomt particular * . Nature him donn much ; the people should do the rent , Froinnnl IB to have another bank , Tlml city itlwtdy IIUB four na tional banks nnd two nuvlng lmnkn. nil of which Imvo been doing a pnm- porottB ImalnoBR and will ) the organi sation of u third Raving * bank the people down there should be fnlrly well equipped with llnanclnl limtllu tlniiB compultMit to take care of tholr prosperity imvlng-t. It IB evident that not many of the people of Fremont - mont ( ire given to depositing their wndB In old noc-Un nnd ImlOB under the llnor. The olllclnlB of the NorthwoBtorn are putting In mime of tholr ( Into In getting acquainted with the people living In the towns through which the road pnHHt'H , and It will undoubt edly bo found of benefit to the com pany. People llko to meet occasionally - ally those with whom they are doing biiBlncttH and acquaintances thus formed are profllablo to the ontor- prison Hoolilng public recognition. The action of I ho North western olll- clalB In vlnltlng tha towns along their linen should be an example to the ImalnoHB men of Norfolk who have almost as much to expect from the people of North Nebraska as have the railroads. It has been understood by some of the strategists that the Uussdaiid planned to wear the .Taps out by pio- longing the struggle and saving themselves In battle. UoporlR appear to Indicate that the Htrutogy la on the other foot. Already the Knsslan cavalry horses are dying for lack of forage , whllo the soldiers Imvo been compelled lo chop d\wn ( tolograpih poles for fuel. If thin IH the condi tion that exists thin early in the cam paign it In not dllllciilt to reall/.e that the Russian Hlluntion will be much worse as time passes , and It is ex pected that the enemies of the .laps will bo forced to either retire from the Hold or press matters to a finish before the .Japanese realize that they are In distress. Some of the farmers and stockmen and particularly ( ho momborH of companies preparing patent dips for the cure of diseased catllo entered u vigorous demurrer to the proposition of the governor and the state veter inarian In prescribing the dip that was to be used In such treatment and the state olllclnls have more or less gracefully wiggled out of ( lie di lemma and made It appear that their only Interest was In the prevention of the diseases that are In evidence. Their new position on the matter Is fttlto commendable. After all it makes very little difference what treatment Is used providing the re sults are satisfactory. The principal object is to got rid of the diseases and there are undoubtedly numerous effective ways In which this can ho accomplished. The result of the municipal election in Norfolk yesterday can be taken In no other light than an endorsement of the administration of the past year. The election of. every republi can official by an Increased majority over that of last year Indicates nn approval of the citizens of Norfolk that should bo appreciated by the of- llclals. It would bo unfair to assume that the vote expressed the sentiment of the city on national issues , as the voters are never hound by party lines in a municipal contest , hut it can bo taken as an approval of the con servatism that ruled last year In re gard to the control of the disturbing elements and the progress In the care of the streets , the sidewalks , and other matters coming under the city government. It was a clean sweep , with the exception of council man from the Fourth ward , whore the republicans had no candidate in nomination. Contractors are authority for the statement that not In many years has there been as much work In sight at the opening of a building season as there Is this spring in Norfolk. They have already taken work that will carry them far into the summer , and the prospects are that they will be more than busy until late In the fall and perhaps far Into the winter. The Improvements in the residence section and those In the business part of the town will make a great showing before next winter arrives , and the best of the prospect is that there is a pressing demand for nil the contemplated growth. People are looking for homes and merchants have been In search of locations that were not available. A great season Is in prospect for Norfolk and the ones that will receive the most ad vantage from the growth are those who got early into the movement. Much was done during the past year for the development of a greater Nor folk but It will not compare with the progress of this year. Norfolk Is destined to become a city of hand some proportions within a very short ( line mi' ! will take a long slop for ward tlilH Hi'UHon. It IntH the loca tion and the Mtirroundlng territory that warrant * expansion and It IH certain lo grow and grow rapidly. In ninny cltloM and townn It IH the lollcy of the nowRpapui'H and tholr MlllorB to exhibit a Binall jealoiiRy and contracted policy ono toward the illu-r , hut In Norfolk It IH different. \ ni'WHpHper miimblilo hero 1ms been tnlnmwn In recent years and the various ro | > rescnlutlvo8 of the prosit pursue Ihulr n'Hpecllvo ways with- tut a Jangle to mar tholr IntercoiirRo.

Hurrah for the Dally News ! Hurrah for Norfolk ! The action of the North Nebraska Touchers' association In again select ing Norfolk as tholr place of mooting for the convention of next year Is appreciated by the people here. There Is no district association that Is more welcome In Norfolk than that of the touchers of this section of the state , and when they voted to como to Nor folk rather than to Fremont In splto of nil the Inducements that city had to offer , they placed this city under obligations which It should bo only too keen to repay. This IH the logical point for the mooting. It la the most accessible town in the district nnd thin wau ono of the strongest nrgn inonls that the friends of Norfolk had to back their invitation. Not only Is It agreeable to have the teachers here from a social and a literary standpoint , but tholr coming is a business proposition that cannot fall to bo of advantage lo the merchants. ICach has a little money to spend during a meeting of the kind , but In the aggregate It amounts to a largo sum. One of the Columbus merchants stated that his business during the week that the teachers wore there amounted to about $100 more than that , of the week preceding and that was why ho wanted them to come again. Norfolk merchants will bo glad of this opportunity for business but they would be glad of the oppor ( unity to entertain the association though there was not an extra cent spent In the town. The teachers are among the best people of the com munities in which they rcsldo am ! the privilege of meeting with them ami enjoying their company am : their sessions Is ample to repay what little ( hey require in the way of en- Jertalnment and effort. Omaha proposes to give fitting ob servance to the semi-centennial of the passage of the Nebraska-Kansas bill on May 111 , 1S51. A committee of citizens of the state's metropolis has Issued an address to the people of Nebraska Inviting their attendance and promising an entertaining pro gram of events in commemoration ol an act which has preceded a great era of progress in the west. The anniversary and Memorial day com ing so close together , nnd both being Inseparably linked together by reason of the Inlluence the old soldiers ex erted to bring about the development of the two states , the two obsen vanccs will bo combined. Hon. Henry D. Hstabrook , formerly of Nebraska , but now of Now York , has been engaged - gaged to come back nnd deliver the oration of the day. Ills matchless eloquence and well known ability ns an orator will add Immeasurably to the Importance of the celebration and other speakers will recount the Interesting events of the fifty years since Nebraska was admitted to the union as a state. Omaha cannot hope to entertain nearly all the people of the state on this anniversary , however - over , and ether cities and towns will undoubtedly arrange a fitting cele bration of the event to Interest the people of their Immediate section of the state. It affords a splendid op portunity for the gathering together of the pioneers and the recounting of the achievements and progress of the state during the half century that has elapsed. Public school pupils should Imvo an opportunity of re viewing the history of the common wealth in which they and the people are most Interested. Ministers of the gospel might find In It a fitting theme for discourse and altogether the 31st day of May should bo made a most memorable occasion to mark the progress of the state , FIRST THUNDER STORM OF THE SEASON LAST NIQHT. GENEROUS FALL OF MOISTURE. Features of April a Year Ago for the Purpose of Compnrleon. The Month Went Out With a Qllzznrd and n Frcezlno Tempernlure. The n-iil , bonalldo April has been a little late In showing up on the weather thor map , but the real thing appears to have arrived last nlghl with an nc- coplubh1 ruin on which to open the growing Reason. The molHlurc that foil lucUcd but Hlx-hundredtliH of being t full Inch am ! a drizzle continued afterward that will bring It up to the iiirirk and perhaps pass H. The surface of the ground has been qulto dry with the going out of the frost nnd this rain was needed for giving the wheat and HIP oatn nnd the pastures a start. Plio thunder nnd lightning that ac companied the ntorm has cleared the atmosphere wonderfully and the prob ability Is that these who have been sick and ailing will especially appre ciate the changed condition of the atmosphere. That the ground was not excessively dry Is shown by the fact that a considerable amount of the molsluro stood in the pools and ditches about the city this morning , the ground not being dry enough to absorb It all as it fell. U will ho a factor In removing the balance of the frost from the ground , and after the weather clears again , if It does not freeze up the ground will bo In ex cellent condition for spring work. The storm came on from the south with a warm wind , but during the night the direction of the wind changed to the north and cooler weather will un doubtedly result. April has behaved Itself very re spectably during the first week and If It continues at It has commenced won derful results In a growing way may ho expected. There will undoubtedly bo killing frosts If not actual freezing weather before the close of the month and the people who have boon planting tender vegetation are doing so with the understanding that If It freezes down It can he replanted. Last year the last killing frost was on the third of May , and It will ho remembered that April went out with a blizzard that inter rupted the growth of vegetation to an extent that It did not recover all sea son. Leaves wore out and vegetation wns well advanced but the forming of Ice on everything and a tomporatur0 of eighteen degrees on the last day of the month did great damage. This April being a little moro backward , It Is hoped that any extreme of tempera ture later In the month will be avoided. The mean temperature of last April was IS.S , the departure from the nor mal being nlne-hnndredtlis of a de gree. The highest range during - ! hours was ' 15 degrees during the last of the month. The precipitation foi the month was I.52 ! Inches , .87 of an Inch greater than the normal , and this month starts In with nearly a third of that. The greatest precipitation in 21 hours was 1.8S during the start of the blizzard. There weru eight rainy days , the heaviest being on the 28th and 2Uth. A FREAK COMES FROM EMERICK TO BE MOUNTED. RARE BIRD FROM YELLOW BANKS Specimen of tlie Egret , a Southern Bird that Has Strayed Far to the North Furnishes Popular Hat Adornment and Is Becoming Extinct Sessions Dell , the taxidermists , have received from James Holton , a leading citizen of Emerick precinct , an unusual animal , being a lamb with two heads. Mother Nature gave a perfect development to the body of the little beast , but when she came to the head , she rather mixed matters and a rare freak wns the result. The four jaws of the animal como out of the neck in the shape of the letter "V" forming two perfect muzzles , there are also four eyes , but when nature wns deciding whether there should bo ono lamb or two she changed her mind when the cars wore forming , and as a concequenco the freak has but two ears , and back of the ears Is but a single lamb. The tlrm Is awaiting Instructions from Mr. Dolton ns to whether or not the two- headed freak shall bo mounted. Another piece of work recently completed by the linn , which par takes of the nature of the phenomenal Is the mounting of an egret that has recently been completed. This Is a bird that rarely comes this far north , and but three of them have como un der the attention of members of the firm during an experience of fifteen years. The bird Is of the heron fam ily , pure white , and lives and nests In the south , gathering In flocks. From Its wings grow the long , slender foath' ers that form an Important part to n lady's headdress , and placed on the market under tho. name of aigrettes. These feathers form just before the nesting season , and later In the year are shed or molted. The bird Is rapIdly - Idly becoming extinct owing to the do- nnnd for these feathers and the laughter occasioned by trappers and milters who lake them In tholr south ern haunts , and It may bo this fact that caused this lone roprcRcntatlvo if the breed to como this far north. The I'nlted Slatefl government has akt'ii a hand to prevent this Mlaiigh- er , but without marked HIICCUHH this far. This egret was killed at the Yellow Hanks a week ago by a trapper nnd was pin chased hy Harry Lodor , who 11 Inning II mounted. Cattlemen' Must Use Lime and Sulphur. GOVERNOR BACKED OUT SOON. Cattle Cannot be Shipped Unless Treated as Proscribed by State Officials If they Have Been Exposed or Infected by Disease. Lincoln , April ! . Regardless of Governor Mickey's regulations per mitting stw Union to use any dip they may choose on mangy cattle , no in fected or exposed caltlo can be shipped to public stock yards or feeding yards until they have boon dipped In a mixture of llmo nnd sul phur. Governor Mickey first re quired the use of llmo and sulphur as a dip for scabbles or mango. Later he modified his order so ns to permit the use of any kind of dip except In cases whore the state au thorities are compelled to take charge of the diseased catUo. In the latter event lime and sulphur only Is to bo the dip used. The first proclamation caused a re newal of the discussion among cat tie men and veterinarians as to the best. dip. The minufaetnrcrs , of proprietary medicines have had a largo sale In this state and their cus tomers desire to bo permitted to nso the dope. Dr. Peters of the Nebraska ka agricultural experiment station is In favor of the proprietary remedies , lir. W. A. Thomas , state veterinarian appointed by Governor Mickey , favors the llmo and sulphur , which is approved by the United States de partment. Dr. Thomas drew up the regulations first signed by the gov e.rnor nnd which were afterwards moillfiud by order of the governor. The governor's first proclamation was Issued March 17 and the amend ed proclamation was promulgated March 28 , ' On March IS , ono day after Governor Mickey gave notice that llmo and sulphur would bo re quired in every case , the United Slater department issued an order which , if enforced , will prevent the shipping of diseased or infected cat- to ! to any public stock yards unless they are dipped in lime and sulphur. A copy of the government order has been received hy managers and agents of railroads and transporta tion companies and stockmen and others. A violation of the order is punishable hy a fine not loss then $100 nor moro than $1,000 , or by im prisonment not exceeding one year , or both flue and imprisonment. A previous order which wns not so strict in its terms is revoked hy the ono just Issued by the government. The now order in part Is as follows : 2. diittlo that are affected with scabs , or that have been exposed lo the contagion of scabies , either through contact with infected herds or infected promises , pens , or cars , shall not be shipped or driven from one state or territory or the District \ of Columbia into another state or territory or the District of Columbia or Into public stock yards or feeding stations , until they have been dipped in a mixture approved by this depart ment , , except ns provided in rule -1. 3. Cattle that are affected with the dlbeaso may be shipped for Im mediate slaughter after one dipping but if they are Intended for feeding or stocking purposes they shall be held for second dipping ten to twelve days after the first one. All of the cattle In a certain herd or shipment In which the disease is present shall ho considered as affected with the disease. ! . Cattle that are not affected with the disease , but which have been exposed to the contagion , may bo shipped for feeding or stock purposes after ono dipipng , but may bo shipped imediato slaughter without dipping. 5. When affected cattle are ship ped for slaughter after one dipping , nnd when exposed cattle are shipped for slaughter without dipping , the cars conveying them shall bo mark ed on each side with a card bearing In plainly visible letters the word "Scabby Cattle , " or "Exposed Cattle , " as the case may bo ; and each of the way bills , conductor's manifests , and bills of lading of such shipments by cars or boats shall have a similar statement plainly written or stamped upon Its face. Said cards shall bo furnished and affixed by the railroad company and shall not bo removed until the cars have been cleaned and disinfected. ( ! . The dip -now approved is the llmo and sulphur dip , made In the proportion of 8 pounds of unslacked llmo and 24 pounds of flowers of sul phur to 100 gallons of water. The remainder of rule G contains minute directions for making the dip. HOTTEST ELECTION THERE DUR ING TWENTY YEARS. MR.
