' > When you attend a circus , , turning a somersault looks easy , , and when you attend a lecture , talking in public looks easy , It is said' of a worthless Atchlson man that the only thing he has on earth is opinions and the- only thing lie does on earth is to air them. An Atolilcon preacher Is much dls- tppointod in a new horse. It doesn't scare at automobiles , but frlirhtons badly'at Salvation Army parades. The wives of Methodist preachers who Irive to move only once in five years may not be rich or powerful , but they are a year ahead of the wife if a president. This Is the season of the yearwheu the man who has delayed laying In his coal wants the dealer to deliver a hurry order , because his Wife is not well , or the baby is sick. "Complaint is made by housekeepers of how 'much more it costs every year ahd their husbands blame the addec expense on this political party or that one. The blame of it Hen with self Indulgence. Every generation affordn acme luxury that the1 generation pr- got along nicely without. At least n third of every dollar's pur- chine Is for noiuothlng that Is not es- sonllal to happiness , health or com fort. A ulrl who wan brought tip on the soaconst vlnlled Atchlson recently mid 'itteiided ' n christening "f ll lml.v ) ' " ll church. She wns very much suriirlHod that the preacher didn't break n bottle tle over the baby's head. If n man should butt his head against n stone wall , over and over , and Injure himself , people would say , "How foolish. " They could renllx.o the folly of It. Yet people do oinmlly foolish things year after year. Hvory man who drinks whisky , butts Into a stone wall , and Injures himself need lessly. Hvory man who worries , butts Into n stone wall , and Injures himself without excuse. Say lo any man or woman that they must not do n cer tain thing , anil they will Insist on doIng - Ing It , year after year. Wo , the people ple , haven't much sense. One Fnre Northwest and Return.

SURFACE WATER IS THE MEANS OF CONTAGION. COMPARATIVE DEATH RATES Smallest Proportional Deaths are in Cities Pure Water is Necessary to Escape the Germs Wells Should be Deeper. Built upon what was once the bed of an ancient bayou having two hun dred feet of glacial and post tertiary deposit beneath us , containing a high percentage of ammonia from the ni trogenous remains of organic deposits - its , the water in Norfolk , oven if free from present pollution , could not beef of the purest ; but when two-thirds of all the surface water sinks into this porous strata to contaminate It we need not look for the sources of ty- phod in local pollution of the standpipe. The water In our public system Is surface water and derives its origin from the same source as all other sur face wells in the town. For thirty- Ive years an area equal to 320 acres ms been peopled and the sewerage placed in earth vaults and refuse and waste of all sorts carried into the sub- oil by the annual precipitation , Gem- teries have crept near the center of Ity in spite of protests and now after an unusual period of excessive rain- all we are paying the penalty and hat Is not the end. The experience of other communities forces the In- erence that next year will witness a won'ioutbreak. . The following dia gram illustrates the percentage of yphoid in. cities , towns and rural com- nunities : Cities : Towns : MMi i mnBMm Rural communities : While typhoid may be communicat ed through other agencies , water Is the chief source of Infection and the laclllus typhosus will survive In the soil from year to year awaiting water nnd warmth to develop its sporules. The remedy for Norfolk Is within > asy reach. Within 125 feet of the bottom of the city's deep well , below the rod Dakota sandstone , there is mire artesian water coming down from the snowlields of the mountains Taylor creek , fifteen miles southwest irf an example of the artesian watei that , may he obtained. There is a stream loss than live miles In longtl which when not carrying surface drainage has a volume of water al most equal to the North Fork and nl coming practically out of one spring. The Impression prevails that tin city water is obtained from the new deep well. There Is no water In the deep well except whit ( flows Into 1 from surface veins. The water usec by' tbe city Is surface water and comes Irom a "different well. ' " ' j. H. Mackay.

NORFOLK MAN IN PUBLIC EYE While it Is Still Early to Mnke Plans , the Lincoln Paper Snys That Mr. Robertson May be a Candidnte Two Years From Now. The following clipping , which lull- uitos that. Norfolk may he the pros- lit home of the next governor of No- raska , Is taken from the Lincoln Evening News : W. M. Robertson of Norfolk was In he city Monday. He called on Gov- rnor Mickey and extended his con- ratulatloiis on the recent victory. Ir. Robertson was at one time , last prlng , a formidable candidate for the iibernatorlal nomination , and some littornoss was engendered , because It was believed by the governor's friends hat ho was entitled to a second term vlthotit opposition. Ho stated that there was general atlsfactlon In Madison county over he republican victory. Many of the lopulists had voted for Roosevelt , and hey are gratified at the landslide for he president. He stated that the people of Nor- oik will ask the legislature to appro- irlate $50,000 for the construction jf another cottage and the roconstnic- Ion of the remnant of the main wing , vhlch was untouched by fire. This would give accommodation for a con siderable number of patients. Talk of Change In Revenue Law. Mr. Robertson said that the people n that section of the state will prob- ibly ask to have the assessment of real estate changed to an annual pe riod Instead of every four years as It s under the present statute. The protest against the four years' assessment Is based on the fact that ! there is a possibility of a decrease In the value of land in less than that pe riod , and also the fear that personal property will decrease in value for assessment sessmont purposes , thus throwing a llsproportionate burden on the land. He b'nld that the taxes had been very heavy because of the fact that the county had been In debt , and was obliged to pay off outstanding war rants. The heavy rains of the. past year caused many bridges to go out mid led to n heavy drain on the bridge fund. Ho said that In many of the districts school boards had raised more revenue than Is needed for the present year , and thereby created some antagonism to the now statute. There are Home Instances where enough money was raised this year to run the districts for three years. May be a Candidate In 1906.
