EASTERN FACTORY WANTS TO
LOCATE IN NORFOLK.
WOULD EMPLOY 80 TO 100 MEN
Noting That Norfolk Has a Vacant
Building and a ( Lot of Good Land to
Offer to Some New Industry , East
ern Capitalist's are Looking.
Norfolk may get a new shoe factory.
An eastern firm , well experienced
n the manufacture of boots and shoes ,
and anxious to locate In this city , to
succeed to the sugar factory buildings
and lands , has written to the commer
cial club of Norfolk , aiklng for a
chance.
The new factory would employ from
80 to 100 men the year round , at wag
es ranging from $8 to $20 per week.
The fact that Norfolk has an open
Ing for some now Industry just now
having been advertised pretty gener
ally over the United States in a news
way , the commercial club is every day
receiving a big batch of propositions
and letters from all directions , regard
Ing the locating here.
A Kansas City firm wants to start
a wholesale grocery plant here , asking
co-operation from local grocers and
doing all of the work necessary with
out hiring any outside help. This will
not bo considered , as it would not aid
the town enough.
An Omaha glove manufacturer
wants to start a factory here to turn
out.cotton gloves. This is not a big
enough proposition to consider for n
moment.
Other Omaha capitalists are stil
considering propositions of some sort
for establishing in Norfolk.
The letter which has been recclvet
regarding the establishment of a shoo
factory here , says that the eastern
firm has become Interested through
the fact that Norfolk has something
good to offer.
Norfolk Is already pretty wol
known over tlio country , but the ad
vortlslng that It may receive will un
doubtcdly result In a benefit.
THAT IS WHAT'IT COST HIM , BESIDES -
SIDES EXPENSES.

NEW NEBRASKA STATE ASYLUM
NOW BUILDING HERE.
S MAGNIFICENT INSTITUTION
The Finish in the Building Is Really
Superb False Marble , Made on the
Grounds by a Secret Process , is a
Marvel to All Eyes.
It Is likely that no patients will be
received at the new state hospital for
he insane in Norfolk , before the first
of June. And it Is not unlikely that
ho Institution will not even then be
ready to handle the unfortunates of
his portion of Nebraska.
This , as sized up by one of the men
vho has been on the ground slnco the
vork of building the three cottages
and the big main structure , began , Is
be situation regarding the time. At
irst promised by the contractors to be
lone by October , but delays causing
he work to drag , the institution was
lext planned for January , then for
May and now it looks like It will be
ucky to be ready for June delivery.
At the rate of $25 per day In for
feits to the state for overtime , the
company would lose a good many thou
sand dollars before the job Is ended.
However , the company Insists it will
not pay any of the forfeit , as the con
tract was annulled , the ofllcials claim ,
when plans were altered.
The Capital City Brick company has
merely the contract for finishing the
institution to a distance of four feet
outside the walls. That being done ,
the state will have the Job on Its
hands of digging miles of sewerage
dltchea , placing the pipes , and doing
a thousand and one other little things
that are all going to take a great deal
of time.
The False Marble.
One of the most Interesting process
es now going on at the asylum , In the
construction , la the manufacturing ,
right In plain sight , of a false marble
with which the buildings are finished.
It Is made from a secret compound
which the compounder refuses to re
veal. That secret Is his stock in trade
and ho gets several thousand dollars
every year as a revenue for his brains.
This marble resembles the purest ,
whitest Georgia substance that was
ever dug out of a quarry , and once
placed on the walls , It gives tlio build
ings a finish that Is just as rich as Iho
onyx In Utah's state capltol.
This process proved especially In
teresting to the state ofllcials who re
cently visited the site. In sight of the
governor nnd his party , the marble
maker worked away , and refused to
tell a sign of a secret to any of them
regarding the method by which ho
succeeds In turning out this magnlll
cent substance.
Notwithstanding the delay , one
thing may bo said of the Institution
When It Is llnlshcd , It shall ho a gen
that Norfolk , north Nebraska and for
that matter the whole west may well
bo proud of. The Initial cottage sys >
torn hospital In the west , It will al
ways bo looked upon as a loader , as In
novation and a model. To design II ,
Nebraska's state olllelals mnilo ex
tensive trips to the east and south ,
getting Ideas from the host In the
world , with which to embody tills now
homo for n fillet od ones.

In all there were 183 depositors In
the Elkhorn Valley bank. Most pit
eous Is the condition of aged Nora Sul

Her savings amounted to $1,300. Now
