ways and means for bringing about

not only to the business men but to
the public living along the proposed

necessary to ask for an appropria
tion of the legislature at ( ho session
next winter for maintenance of the
Norfolk hospital for the Insane ,
which will bo completed this season ,
and It should be the mission of the
club to act with and assist the olll-
cers of the hospital when they are
appointed In scenting such appropri

ing of the club , the president appoint
ed M. IX Tyler and Hurt Mapes as a

Hy vote of the club President Rob
ertson and Vice President Pasowalk
wore mndo ex otllclo members of the
executive committee , and the presi
dent of the club was made chairman
of the committee.
Street Railway.
The matter of building a street rail
way between Norfolk and South Nor
folk was taken up and discussed at
considerable length. It was urged
that at the present time it is more
convenient for railroad men living
in South Norfolk to purchase supplies
In Omaha or the other end of their
runs thpn It Is to come up town ,
hunting up a hack each time they
want to come and paying 25 cents
each way , and BOIUO of the merchants
present said they know It to bo a
fact that Norfolk business houses lose
a considerable trade because of the
Inconvenience and expense of getting
from South Norfolk to Norfolk and
back. Many of the residents of the
south portion of the city have ex
pressed a dissatisfaction with the
business men for not providing borne
way of doing their trading at home.
It was stated that Hurt Mapes had
been Investigating the cost of put
ting In an electric line and the esti
mates show that the expense will bo
between $10,000 and $11.000. Mapes
was out of the city , s > o that the accurate -
curate figures could , not be obtained.
It was said that Mr. Mnpos' plati
contemplates a line starting at the
Chlongo and Northwestern depot at
South Norfolk , going west on 1'Irst
_ avenue to Fourth { .treat , north to
Pasowalk avenue , west to Sixth
street , north to Norfolk nvontiu
and oiint to Second Htroot It IB
IlKurcd that a lintroiiHtrupled along
Hits route will acrotnmodato more
people and do moio business than on
any other street * .
It WHS further Htatod that Mr
MapoR MtniulR ready to take $1.000
worth of Htock In ( ho enterprise. A
number of the bimlnoHH men present
expressed thomsolvoH willing and
anxious to help the project with
HiihHcrlptloitH. While they figured
that perhaps the enterprise would
not bo n money making Hcheme for
the promoters at the start , yet they
believed It would grow Into a good
pioporly aH the town becomoH larger ,
but they would be well repaid for
their InvoHlmont In the increased
trade that would bo brought to them
through the establishment of the
line.
line.Tho
The Hontlment of the meeting WIIH
strongly In favor of building the line
If It can bo brought about , and the
whole matter was loforrcd to the ox-
ecntlvo committee , who wore Instruct
ed to consult with Mr. Mapos and
Investigate ItH practicability.
Detter Roads.
The Commercial club found an
other matter thai needs attention and
that promptly. H was stated that
( lie Hindu leading Into Norfolk are
In bad condition , that they have re
ceived ICHH attention than those leadIng -
Ing Into any town In the county , and
that It IH high tlnio something IH
done. It WIIH argued that Norfolk
contilbutoH liberally to the road fund
of the county but that It is tecelvlng
little In the way of ImpiovomontB.
Norfolk cannot o\pect that farmers
will coino here to trade even though
It has hotter stocks , unless the roads
leading Into town are In good condi
tion , and they aio far from that at
the present time. The executive
committee was liiHtrncted to seek
relief fiom the county board and was
given power to act.
Regular Meetings.
Regular meetings of the club wore
llxed on the last Monday evening of
each month , and the president was
authorised to call special meetings
on request of llvo members of the
club.

OUT THE WEATHER MAN MERELY -
LY WORKED A DLUFF ,
POLICE STOP THE DIG SHOW
Angry Looking Clouds Rushed Down
From the Northwest , Whirled
Around as Though They Were In
Genuine Earnest , and Whirled Away
What might , with a fair chance-
though even the heavens had stopped
being fair have developed Into a re-
Hpectablo little tornado yesterday af
ternoon , rolled up In a big , black
cloud at the outHot , scared a few of
the more timid OUCH , and then rolled
away again , leaving a clear blue sky
and a refreshing atmosphere.
Shortly afternoon of yesterday the
ugly looking northwest tossed a
huiiHi of diirkncsH overhead. The
muddy colored distance whirled
around like u prlx.o lighter preparing
for a match by punching : i bag , and
the wind began to IOHIII. Then the
HUH , which had sort of stood on the
outside watching the crowd and lookIng -
Ing at ( ho pictures on the Hide show
curtains ducked under ( ho canvas
and the day WIIH dark.
Then the performance began , ( t
wan like the excitement around the
lent In which u bull light IH about to
begin. And It all amounted to about
as much lee , an the usual light of
that Mirt does. There was a lot of
puffing and blowing and advertising
In advance , but when the attraction
came along It fell away Hat of the
press agent's conception and the
crowd wanted Its money back. If
It came along again , oven ten years
from now , It couldn't draw half a
IIOIIHO.
There was a rush and a hurling of
horns. The storm tossed fragments
and particles of everything high up
Into the air and then dropped them
again just , for the fun of the thing.
Cottonwool ! whiteness , brought fern
n mile or two , dotteil the picture that
you got when you looked out of the
window , and it made you think of
snow in December , just before Christ
mas , when the young married couple
comes home lor a square meal.
Then ( hero was a little splashing
of dew drops Just a tiny sprinkle all
over the ( own , which baptised the
people out in It just enough to let
them know what might have happen
ed. A llttlo later there was an an
gry growl and the streets wore car
ried away. Small boys , barefooted ,
ran home very fast and the cabmen
pulled their rubber slickers up around
their shoulders. Girls who had been
lounging In the hammock , got Into
the house and slammed the screen
doors. They turned around to see
what they could see , but were disap
pointed. The police had come along
and stopped tlio mill. The whole
show , concert and all , were done and
over , and the roustabouts commenced
to tear down the tents and load up
the stakes.
Three minutes later the lemonade
men , who had begun to sell out at
a 2 for 5 rate , packed up their glasses
and counters and left the grounds.
The menagerie wagons were loaded
on the train , the engine whistled and
the show pulled out of town , headed
toward Stunton.
The sun , a bright , clear , warm sun ,
came out and laughed at the earth
and people as though he enjoyed the
jesting just that once gave them the
merry. mirthful smile that ho
thought he had coming.
The sky was blue and the streets ,
clean swept and rid of travelers ,
looked like a race track all ready for
event.

BANK FIXTURESARE DELAYED
_
Nebraska National Bank Will be
Ready for Business Some Time
Next Week.
The now Nebraska National bank
will not bo opened for business on
July 1 as contemplated. The room in
the Bishop block Is ready except pa
pering , the vault lias been finished ,
but the fixtures , which were promised
by the manufacturer on Juno 27 , are
not hero and will not be for several
to coino , It Is the usual story
A manufacturer agrees to have a
pleco of work finished by a certain
date to secure the order but when the
tlnio conies ho Is unable to carry out
his promises and It Is too late for the
purchaser to secure what ho wants
flomuwhoru oluu. The Nebraska Na
tional is not alone In this , as every
one who has attempted Improvements
can testify.
It Is now thought probable that the
now bank will bo ready for business
somewhere between tlio Gth and 10th
of July , but neither President Uuttor-
Held nor Cashier Miller are willing
to gamble on the fixture man's game ,
so long ns ho holds the cards.
