members be secured , pledging to pay
into the treasury $1 a month for a

association $1,200 a year which will

State Veterinary Thomas of Lincoln
expects to hear of the usual losses to
farmers from the corn stalk disease
this winter. Many complaints have
already been received by him and he
considers them the forerunner of
more and larger losses. Dr. Thomas
estimates that the losses In Nebraska
from that source alone last year were
$500,000 , 20,0(10 ( cattle having died.
"Tho loss Is because farmers neglect
to take care of the stalks and In not
limited to the cattle which die from
the disease , " said the veterinarian ,
"but includes tlio waste of forage
which runs into millions of dollars a
year. The stalks arc of no value when
they arc left exposed to the weather
for several months. Most of the nu
triment is leached out by tlio beat of
the sun and the early fall rains. What
is left Is largely indigestible , woody
matter , which not only contains no
food value , but Is a positive detriment
to the cattle , and in large quantities
under certain circumstances cau.ses
death. "

THE NORTHWEST.
THEY HAD A GOOD LIVELY TIME

Order of Uallroad Telegraphers , and
there were more than thirty in at
tendance. They arrived from the
Donesteel line , from the main line and
from the Albion branch of the North
western ,
The meeting was a good live one.
The railroad telegraphers are live
ones , anyway. They are the boys who
take care of the trains that carry the
public. It is up to them to prevent
the railroad wrecks and they have
done It effectually through the north
west. They are the fellows who lis
ten all day and all night to the click ,
click , click of the little electric Instru
ments , and wlio send messages over
the wires to the outside world. In
many little stations , they are depot
masters , baggagemen , trainmasters
and the whole show. The responsibil
ity of the town , In n large measure , Is
thrown on their shoulders.
General Superintendent Troy of
Eagle Grove , la. , was present. P. H.
Brlggs of Stanton Is the local super
intendent for this division. W. C.

Unique Chain of Letters.
Rev. S. F. Sharpless has received
a Round Robin letter from classmates
who graduated with him twenty-five
years ago from Lane seminary , Cin
cinnati , Ohio. Only one member of
the class had passed away during the
quarter of a century. Twelve remain
in the church work , and these do/en
are scattered from California to Penn
sylvania. The letters were delightful
to Mr. Sharpless as he had not heard
from some of the classmates for many
years. They were all jolly and get
ting along nicely. Each had a story
to tell and each story was a good one.
FIRE STARTS IN A HOME.
Blaze In the House of William Reinhardt -
hardt Yesterday.
A small fire did some damage at the
homo of William Iloinhnrdt , on South
Fourth street yesterday afternoon. The
blaze was quenched without the need
of calling the flro department. The
flame started because a hot chimney
was too close to the woodwork in the
house. The building is the property
of the school district.
NEW OFFICIALS WERE SWORN
IN AT NOON.
ONLY TWO CHANGES WERE MADE
County Attorney Koenlgstcln nnd
Commissioner Harding Installed In
Office Two Democrats Remain In
the Court House nt Madison.
At noon today there wan a change
In the olllclals of Madison county ,
these elected at the recent election
taking the places of these whoso
terms of olllce expired. It was not iv
momentous change , however , there
being but two substitutions.
At noon Jack Koenlgsleln took the
oath of olllce as county attorney , suc
ceeding Hurt Mapes who has served
for two consecutive terms. The oath
was administered by County Clerk
Winter. Itotli the retiring and Incom
ing attorneys are republicans and
tholr home Is Norfolk.
.lohn Harding of Meadow Cirovo suc
ceeds to the olllco of county commis
sioner , taking the place of S. .1. Flnnl-
gan of Hattlo Creek. Mr. Harding
was elected on the republican ticket ,
while the retiring olllclal was a dem
ocrat.
This change leaves but two demo
crats in olllco , Win. Hates , tlio county
Judge and Emll Winter , county clerk.
Yesterday the republicans were on
the iKlnt of gaining one of these of
fices but tlio probability Is now that
there will be no change. ISmll Winter ,
the county clerk , had his resignation
from olllco prepared , as ho had a good
offer to go into the banking business
at Petersburg. The resignation was
prepared on the supposition that J. L.
j Daniel , a democrat , nnd nt present
filling the office of deputy county clerk
would bo appointed to 1111 the vacan
cy. When it was learned that the
board of commissioners would not
agree to the appointment of Daniel ,
Mr. Winter determined to hold the of
fice through the term.
Yesterday it would have required
one republican vote of the county com
missioners to appoint Mr. Danlol to
the olllce. Today two republican
votes would bo required , as the only
democrat on the board retired at noon.
The old board of county commis
sioners completed the business for
the year at a meeting held yesterday
and at noon today , the new board took
up the work of the county.
Caught Cold While Hunting a Burglar
Mr. Win. Thos. Lanorgan , provin
cial constable at Clmplau , Ontario ,

ment of SUfp , alleged to bo duo him for
the sorvloos of IboHo ilaughloiH during
Iho period when they lived under Iho

ooino of throats which John \V. Clark
has boon making all winter , lie has
put In most of bin tlmo lolling what
ho Intended to do to Mrs. A. V. Clark.
At one Mine ho thought ho would try
lo have her arrested for a oharuo of
kidnapping , but ho later changed ! IH !
mind.
Court Room Scene Unique.
The court room scene this morning
was unique to a degree. John \V.
Clark , his dog , his wife , and ono of
his daughters , together with their at
torney , came up to do battle against
( ho single handed woman , Mm. A. F.
Clark. And Mrs. A. F. Clark , acting
an her own attorney , eromi examining
Iho witnesses and firing sharp ques
tions at John W. Clark , hold her own.
Rising before the court , Bible In hand ,
she dealt blows at the treatment that
John W. Clark had given his daugh
ters , and tied up the witnesses In a
knot.
John W. Clark , meanwhile , sat bo-
bind the witnesses , butted In when
the unsworn didn't suit him , loaned
forward to glvo the daughter a hunch ,
and mulled when the replies were
what ho wanted. When bin daughter
arose to bo sworn , ho shook his head
at her , threateningly , without being
detected by Mrs. A. F. Clark. When
Mrs. A. F. Clark asked tlio daughter
whotherxor not her parents had
dragged her homo , and when the girl
said they had not , her mother peeked
over nt her father , grinning broadly ,
and Mrs. A. If. Clark said Him Hod.
Myrtle , the daughter , couldn't remember -
member when her father bad bought ,
any clothing for her. She admit ted
that Mrs. A. F. Clark had provided
employment and had seen to It that
she was clothed warmly nnd decently.
Mrs. A. If. Clark stated that she had
evidence that would prove the daugh
ter never wont homo until she was
dragged by her parents.
During the closing moments of thn
case , Mrs. A. F. Clark became some
what wrought up and said things
about the witnesses. Judge Hayes at
length Interfered , and told her to cul
out the remarks.
The rosnll of the trial was that a
judgment against Mrs. A. F. Clark
was granted for $ l.i ! ( ) , instead of $2fi
as nuked.
Police nnd Public Tire.
These are the same Clarks who
were In court several weeks ago
John W. Clark is the same Clark who
bad a grievance anglnst a young man
and sent the young man to the peni
tentiary a year ago because the young
man had entered his homo and ruined
his daughter. John W. Clark , Instead
of properly protecting his family In
the first place , lets them go until
something doesn't suit him and then
brings his troubles to the policeman.
The public and the policeman are get
ting tired of his troubles.

A FIRE SCARE IN CREIGHTON
SCHOOL ALL NIGHT.
A BLAZE IN COAL STARTS IT
At 5 O'clock Yesterday Afternoon the
Janitor in the Catholic Academy at
Creighton Dug Into the Coal and
.Found a Fire Eating its Way.
Crelghton , Nob. , Jan. 10. Special
to The News : A flro panic among
little girls and young Indies was nar
rowly averted at the Catholic acad
emy In this city last night.
A peculiar odor from the basement
told the Janitor that something was
wrong. Digging Into a big batch of
slack coal , ho found smoke puffing
out A little deeper ho brought flame.
Spontaneous combustion had been the
cause of the trouble.
The flro department was called and
two feet of water turned Into the base
ment. The boya worked all night on
the flame. Finally 'the fire was put
out.
The Bmoko has been emitting for
two days. A little more delay would
have destroyed the building , which ,
as It was , Is charred about the lowt-r
woodwork. The girl Inmates sleep in
the top story , but the danger was Kf-pt
from them as much as possible.
