When Col. James E. Simpson foil
Into his last , lonR dreamless sloop at
3:30 : o'clock yesterday morning , all
who had known him realized that a
Rood man had passed to his reward.
Ill since last spring1 , when he was at
tacked with what ho supposed was
the grip but which later developed In
to stomach trouble , ho bore up cheer
fully and courageously until the hist.
About the first of Juno ho envo up ac
tive work and has since boon confined
to the house , knowing that the sum
mons had come , yet always bright and
cheerful , thoughtful for his family
and fond of his friends. What his
friends -wore to him In the long
months of his Illness , how much of
minshlno and brightness they brought
to the bedside of the Invalid , none
know better than the wife , now stride-
on with paralysis and llnblo not to
survive her husband many days. Six
weeks ago ho said to a friend : "I can
not oat nnd do not want food , hence
I must bo starving , yet I do not fool
It. I know that I have a hard fight
ahead of mo and fool that I must lose. "
At the time ho was taken sick ho was
eorvlng as water commissioner , and
In May ho wan roappolntcd by Mayor
Hazon. Realizing his condition ho
tendered his resignation of the office ,
notified those persons for whom ho
was acting as agent or trustee that
ho could no longer look after tholr af
fairs , and made minute plans for the
cvont which ho know could not bo far
nway. The day before death came ho
Imagined that ho was attending his
own funeral and opoko of It to those
who were attending him. Two weeks
ago today his faithful wife who had
boon almost constantly at his bedside ,
every morning expecting that the day
would bo his last and every evening
fearing that ho would not live to see
another sunrise , gave out under the
tremendous strain when she suffered a
stroke of paralysis , from which It Is
not probable that she will over fully
recover and It would not bo surprising
If she should follow her husband In a
short time.
Col. Simpson was born In New York
city August 10 , 1833 , and removed with
' his parents when twelve years old to
Ifc' Herklmer county , New York , where
f'W he lived the life of a farmer's boy un
til ho was twenty-one years old. A
few days before he died he seemed to
bo a boy again nnd live over the
scenes of half a century ago among the
hills of the Empire state.
On July 7 , 1860 , he was united In
marriage with Miss Mary A. Rankln
and they have two children , one son
and one daughter Charles T. and Mrs ,
T. W. Wheaton. The former lives In
Orleans , this state , and the latter in
South Omaha. Both have been with
him for weeks and wore at his
bedside at tie ) time of his death.
In 185B ho removed to Iowa and set
tled at Decorah. Here he engaged In
teaching and was elected as superin
tendent of schools and was active In
advancing the early educational inter
ests of Wlnneshlek county. He was
also elected county surveyor. Upon the
breaking out of the rebellion he en
listed in 1861 In the Twelfth Iowa Vol
unteer Infantry , company G. He was
promoted to the position of orderly ser
geant and later was commissioned second
end lieutenant.
Ho was at Ft. Henry , Donalson , Shl-
loh and Corinth , and his war record Is
clear and honorable. His health broke
down through the exposure of camp
life , and ho was obliged to resign his
commission. Just why he acquired the
title of "Col. " Is not just clear. He
has borne It since he lived In Norfolk
and even before that the people of
Decorah were accustomed to address
him as "Col. " One dtty he walked Into
The News office after his name had
been mentioned in the usual way and
protested against the title. "Don't call
me Colonel , " he said. "I was never a
colonel and It Is misleading and Isn't
honest. I would much rather you
would drop the title and let me be
known ns a plain citizen. " But the
title clung to htm to the end.
A year after he returned from the
war he became deputy provost marshal
of the Third district of Iowa , being
the first appointed to that position fn
his district and the last to bo mustered
out.
out.Then
Then lie entered the Internal revenue
service and was supervising agent In
charge of Iowa , Minnesota , Nebraska ,
Dakota , Colorado , Montana and New
Moxtco , In which position he served
over ten years. In 186S a law was
passed by congress limiting the mi in
her of revenue agents or supervising
officers In the United States to twenty-
ff five , and Col. Simpson was among
those retained In the service. After ten
years service In seven states and terrl
fjV
torles ho as promoted and received the
appointment of collector for the north
half of Iowa , which office ho held for
eight years , until removed by Presi
dent Cleveland.
In 1887 ho came to Norfolk and foe
throe years had charge of the business
in this section of Nebraska for the
Farmers Loan and Trust campany of
Sioux City , but was compelled to glvo
up the work on account of a severe at
tack of the grip. In 1893 he was ap
pointed steward of the Norfolk hos
pital for the Insane by Gov. Crounse
as a compromise candidate without so
licitation on his part. He served ac
ceptably In this position and It was
demonstrated that the governor mode
' no mistake In the appointment.
A stropg , aggressive character , an
ardent republican and Interested In the
upbuilding of the town In which he
lived , Col , Simpson has long been
classed as one of the leading factors
of the city. He claimed no public
credit for the work he did and often
his suggestions were followed by oth-
irs nnd brought great results. 1'ar-
tlculntly is this true of the United
utptt I'ouit huuso and poqiolllca now
tearing completion In this city , which
Norfolk today undoubtedly owes to
ho Initiative tnknn by Col. Simpson
Years ago when Goo. W. R Dorsoy was
nombor of congress from this-district
Norfolk was mmlo a regular pluco for
ho sitting of the federal court , but
vlth no suitable room heio for the
court to convene the Norfolk sessions
mvo amounted to nothing. Lntar when
Senator Alton was In the scnato ho
secured an appropriation for the pur
chase of a site for a court house and
lostolltcc.
There the matter rested until lion-
lorson was speaker of the house of
eprosontatlvcs. Col. Simpson tiad
served In the same regiment with Col.
Icndorson , and through his personal
icuualntanco with the speaker ho saw
in opportunity for Norfolk. Ilo made
evornl trips to see Speaker Henderson
uul while at firs ) ho rocolvcd no on-
ourngoincnt , ho finally exacted n
iromlHo that nn appropriation mcasiuo
hould bo allowed to come before the
louse , provided the chairman of the
Committee on public buildings saw fit
o bring It up. This chairman was
Javo Mercer of Omaha , and Col Simp
son uncovered the fact thnt Hon.V. .
\t. Robertson was on terms of Intlnmcy
vlth Mercer. Col. Simpson was Instrti-
nontnl In sending Mr. Robertson to
Washington , and today there IH near-
ng completion In Norfolk n $100,000
odornl court house and postofllco , one
of the handsomest In the United States.
After the burning of the Norfolk
lospltal for the Insane , Sol. Simpson
vns ono of the executive committee of
ho Commercial club which had In
charge the securing of an approprln-
lon for the rebuilding of the property ,
lore again he worked llko a general
conducting a campaign , without oston-
atlon but with far reaching plans to
iroduco a result. The hospital Is now
icing rebuilt.
At the tlmo of his death ho had two
other cherished plans for the good of
Norfolk. Ono was a public library that
should bo ample for the needs of the
city , and the other was the establish
ment of a bolter system of roads load-
ng Into town. These projects were
frequently dlscvssed with his frlonds
during his last Illness , at a tlmo when
ils body was falling but his mind was
as clear as over.
Col. Simpson was an ardent repub-
lean and as firmly believed In the
party ns ho did In the supreme being ,
lo took an active part In everything
hat pertained to political affairs and
was untiring In his zeal for his prin
ciples. In April , 1898 , he was elected
mayor of the city. He did not want the
office but consented to take the nomi
nation providing a platform was an-
lounccd that would set forth clearly
where he would stand on questions
that were then vexing the city. The
platform upon which ho was elected
contained three planks , as follows :
"Wo favor an economical govern
ment. "
"We favor closing the saloons at
2 o'clock at night and on Sundays. "
"We favor the suppression of gamb-
Ing and prostitution. "
So firmly did he establish the prln-
clplea of his platform , that never wlnco
las an attempt been made to go back
: o the old condition of things. It was
the turning point in the history of
Norfolk.
Col. Simpson led a life of Integrity ,
lonosty and uprightness that helped
and Inspired all who knew him.
Whether the consequesnces were to
jo what the world calls profitable or
unprofitable , he departed not one jot
or tittle from his convictions. While
10 was always Intensely Interested In
the affairs of Mathewson Post , G. A.
R. , he retained his membership In the
Col. Hughes Post at Decorah , Iowa.
The funeral will be held at the First
Congregational church tomorrow morn-
ng at 10 o'clock , after which the re
mains will be taken over the North
western In charge of his sen and sis
ter to Decorah , where the comrades of
forty years ago will tenderly lay his
lody to rest. Before he passed away
ie expressed the wish that Rev.
J. J. Parker , formerly pastor of the
First Congregational church , now of
IMalnvlew , should conduct his funer
al. The pall bearers selected are
W. M. Robertson , Judge Barnes , W. II.
Wldaman , H. C. Matrau , W. H. Butter-
field and W. N. Huse.
The casket will not be opened at the
church. Friends who wish to take
leave of the departed should cull at
the house during today or before the
service tomorrow.
The death of Col. Simpson makes a
break In the life of the community that
will be hard to fill.

leties were also shown. These ate

.hat wise neighbors of yours who
old you not to go and farm in the
west didn't know what he was talk-
ng about nnd he did not possess any
of the spirit of adventure which Is
iccessary for the accomplishment of
any great purpose or undertaking In
Ife. This trait is distinctly Ameri
can and the ono that prompted Co-
umbus and our forefathers to cross
: he seas that we might enjoy the
; oed things of this new world. East
ern people should help nnd not hln-
lor those who aspire to have a part
n the development of the west.
Those interested should take the
; rlp up the Nlobrara valley , over the
Northwestern , 120 miles from Nor-
'oik , which is the gateway of this
wonder land that is rapidly filling up
with a busy , bustling class of people
who were not long in making up
heir minds that they had found what
they wanted. It is a fact here as
elsewhere that some of the lands are
not as desirable as others , but any
of it Is worth the price it can bo
lad for today.
In the upper Elkhorn and Niobrara
valleys government lands can still
) o had. Until quite recently much
of the valuable land of this kind had
> een covered up or fenced b.y cattle
men and as It was in what was sup
posed by many to be an arid sec
tion and of no value at all , there has
only recently arisen a demand for it.
The passage of the Klnkald law by
: ho last congress , which permits a
homesteader to take an entire sec
tion of CIO acres has caused a new
movement. Any of the land is good
for grazing purposes and much of it
will produce good crops , enabling a
family to make a good living. In a
few years it will lie owned by nu
morons small ranchmen , making their
living from n small herd of cattle
and the land that is available for
farming purposes. The Klnkald law
Is considered ono of the best passed
for this part of the country since the
first homestead bill became a law.
These lands had been the basis for
much trouble and ill feeling for many
years , and for settling this friction
much credit is due Congressman Kin-
akld. Besides benefiting in this way
and In supporting many new families
it will bo a benefit to the state and
national governments to have them
settled upon. Some of the land pro
duces abundantly of alfalfa and
many acres of that plant or clover
are found In all parts of north Ne
braska and South Dakota , cutting in
some cases two and three crops a
year , without an unusual amount o :
rain. This crop , like all others , is
more profitable when properly plant
ed and care for.

MATTERS OF A PUBLIC NATURE
ARE DISCUSSED.
STREET RAILWAY PROPOSITION.
The Committee Hnvlng It In Charge
Have Formulated a Plan Roads ,
Hospital for the Insane Celebra
tion of Completion of Building.
The Commercial club mot In regular
session last evening , President Hole
irtHon presiding. It was the llrst
meeting since the summer vacation ,
but the reports of the commlltcoH
showed that things have boon brewing
ing for the bonellt of the community ,
even If It IHIH been hot.
Hoi. 0. Mayor , chairman of the
street railway committee , roporled
He stated that the committee In llrnily
convinced thnt n street railway be
tweeu South Norfolk and the | MIHIIOHB |
part of town would materially In
croiise the trndo of the moirlmntH
The Investigations of the commltluo
has led them to believe that It will
he dlllk'ult to Interest capital to build
the line without greater Indncoimmtii
than are offoiod by the prospective
trade that would be given It dur
ing the llrst period of Its existence
It Is the opinion of the committee that
the citizens will ho obliged to offer a
bonus to Honuro the line , and the com
mittee has decided that a good way
to got at the matter Is to nsk the
business men how much they will
contribute each year for say a period
of throe years to this project , condi
tioned that regular trips over the line
shall be made ns often ns may he
agreed upon. It Is believed that on
this proposition 11,000 n year for
three years can bo raised among
the business men of town who
would bo henefltted by the con-
Htrticiion and operation of such n
lino. Given that $1,000 a year has
been pledged , It Is believed thnt suf
ficient capital cnn he Interested to
construct the lino. On the hauls of
the estimated cout , this would moan
guaranteed Interest of 10 per cent on
the Investment. A town which can
raise $1,100 for a llremnn's tourna
ment will easily show enterprise
enough to raise the amount needed
to guarantee n project that would
prove of material advantage to the
business Interests of the city. As
the busy season Is Just starting nnd
as It Is too Into to put the project
through this fall , the committee sug
gested that work of securing the
pledges and arranging the prelimi
naries ho postponed until after the
holidays when business men will have
more time to give the matter consider
ation.
The club approved the plan nnd
Instructed the committee to proceed
along the lines suggested.
Legislative Committee.
The matter of looking after the
needs of the Norfolk hospital for In
sane before the session of the legis
lature which will meet this winter ,
was discussed and It was decided that
Norfolk would have to make some
effort to secure funds for the main
tenance of the institution when com
pleted , else there would bo a hos
pital with no money for its opera
tion. It is especially desirable also
that what is known as the west wing ,
that part of the institution which was
not materially affected by the fire ,
and which is not being repaired under
the present contract , ho put In condi
tion to take care of patients , and for
which a small aproprlatlon will be
needed.
A motion was made and carried
that the president appoint a commit
tee of seven , of which the president
of the club shall bo chairman , as a
legislative committee. The president
took the matter of naming the com
mittee under advisement and will an
nounce the names later.
Road Committee.
The road committee reported that
they had met with the county com
missioners and had secured an ap
propriation of $1,000 of the road
money paid the county by Norfolk
precinct to be expended on the roads
leading into Norfolk. Mr. Pasewalk
stated that members of the committee
have arranged to view some of the
roads In company with Commissioner
Smith in the near future and that the
committee would bo ready to make a
detailed report at the next emetlng
of the club.
Federal Building Celebration.
Norfolk's $100,000 federal building
is now Hearing completion nnd the
Commercial club-believes it would bo
very appropriate to celebrate the com
pletion of the structure with a ban
quet , to which those who have assist
ed In securing the building bo Invited
as guests of honor. While it Is not
probable that the banquet could beheld
held In the building there Is no doubt
but that arrangements could be made
to have the building lighted and
thrown open to the inspection of the
public on the evening of the celebra
tion , and it was decided to ask Post
master Hays to have this done. Mo
tion prevailed that a committee of
five , of which B. A. Bullock bo made
chairman , bo appointed by the presi
dent of the club to take charge of the
arrangements for the banquet and
celebration. The remainder of this
committee will bo announced later. It
was made a part of the duties of the
committee to fix a time for the cele
bration , which will probably not beheld
hold until some tlmo after the build
Ing is completed and perhaps not un
til after election.
