The building Is to bo uoderu In all respects , will have a iressed brick front and will bo an > rnament to that part of the street , mil yet It would seem that the choice ot upon which It Is to be erected vould Justify a two utory building.

Master F. fllrard of the Brotherhood ) f Hallway Firemen announces that the nibllc Is cordially Invited to partlc.l- iii I o In the picnic to bo given at the Nellgh park by Climax lodge No. 2fi4 in Saturday , May 27. While It Is tin- lor the auspices of the trainmen nnd 'or their families they desire that their 'rloiuls shall participate In the event. A special train will leave Norfolk at < : I10 In tbo morning and return from Nollgh at 10 o'clock that night for the accommodation of those who will at tend from this city and vicinity. The round trip , Including admission to the park has been fixed at | 1 and for children under twelve years of age the cost will bo llfty cents. With the events planned for the day by the people of Nellgh It Is calculated that this will afford opimrlunltlos for a day's outing In the early spring time that will attract many people nnd that the accommodations will bo taxed to iccommodato the crowd. The Inhorltanco of this section of country last night from the Black Hills blizzard was a heavy white frost that , stood out prominently on walks and buildings and vegetation at a late hour this morning , nnd the freeze was hard enough to form a scum of Ice on standing water. How much damage was done to garden crops is not known. Perhaps it was not large. People had been warned by the weath er forecast and protected the tender est vegetation by covering. During the past few days numbers of tomato and cabbage plants bad been set out and unless they were protected they have undoubtedly boon put In condi tion to require replanting. Vegetables coming from tbo seed are not likely tnsuffer , to any large extent , as most of the more tender varieties are not yet above ground. Many strawberry plants are In blossom and these will undoubtedly be affected by the freeze. Though the sun shone brightly today , the wind continued from the west northwest and there Is prospect that another frost will be developed for to night. TORNADO AT ALBION Looked Bad But Did Not do Serious Damage. Albion , Neb. , May 5. Special to The News : Booue county was visit ed by a small tornado , about 4 o'clock in ] the afternoon. A cloud came up from the southwest which looked somewhat threatening , but little at tention was given to It , as the day had not been exceptionally warm and no one seemed to think of the possi bility of a st' nn of that nature. Hut It came suddenly and lasted only a minute. Damage Is reported from Cedar Rapids , a Uttle town southwest of here , and a few outbuildings were destroyed in the neighboring country The most damage that was done in Albion was the large plate glass front of Becker & Co's. store. The awning was broken and blew against the win- dows. breaking them in. About $250 is estimated as the loss in this case. This vicinity has not been visited by a storm of this nature In years past and when the dust and clouds caused the sun to disappear many were fright ened , as the condition of the elements appeared much more destructive than they were in fact.

BUILDING OF LINE TO NORFOLK First Trains Were Run Out of Chicago on Strap Iron Rails The Bonesteel nnd Oakdale Branches Pioneer In Illinois Railroad History. ( Kiom KrtJay'd Dully. ) In n pamphlet entitled ' 'Yesterday and Today , " the story of the Northwestern - western railroad Is told. The story has been Issued by the road Itself and \n \ taken from official reports and roc- > rilB of Iho company , dating back to ho beginning of the life of the 'parent germ. ' the ( Jalena & Chicago Union railroad In 1811(5. ( In 18M there was wr ono mile of railroad In the state iof one mile of railroad In the state > f Illinois. The story of the road Is irought through the building of the llrst few miles out of Chicago , exten sions with "strap Iron" rails , and the lovelopment of an eight thousand mile system of building , absorption and ncqiilsltlou. In the book Is given the slory of Iho Fremont , Blkhorn and Missouri Valley , a Nebraska corpora- Ion , which passed out ot existence two years ago. after Its property had long teen owned by the Northwestern. The story of the Elkhorn Is given as 'ollows : "This company was organized at Fremont , Nob. , In January , I860 , to onstruct a. line up the Elkhorn valley , n Nebraska , and obtained a land grant from tbo state of Nebraska amounting to about 45,000 acres. In 18C > 9 John L. Blair and his associates In the Sioux City & Pacific and the Cedar Haplds & Missouri River enterprises obtained control of the company , and undertook the construction of the rail road. The first ten miles of track north from Fremont were laid late In the season of 1880. In 1870 the road was finished to West Point , and leased to the Sioux City & Pacific company , which 'company from that time on continued to operate under this lease the Boverat extensions of the Elkhorn road up to August , 18S4. In 1871 the road was extended to Wlsner , n dis tance of fifty-one miles from Fremont , where the terminus remained until 1879 , when the main line was built to Oakdale , nnd six miles of track laid on the Crolghton branch north of Nor folk. In 1880 the main line was ex tended from Oakdalo to Nellgh , and the Crolghton branch finished to 'Plain- view. In 1881 the main line was ex tended to Long Pine , and the Crolghton branch linishod to Crolghton. In 1SS2 the main line was extended to Thatch er , and In 18SII to Valentine. In Aug ust , 18SI , at the time of the purchase of the Iowa roads by the Chicago & Northwestern , this last-named com pauy acquired all the stock in the Fremont , Hlkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad , and thereafter the work of extension was pushed vigorously. In the fall of 1SSI about eighty miles of the line were graded beyond Valen tine and tracklaylug began thereon In April , lS8fi. The track reached Chad- ron In July , and Buffalo Gap in No vember of that year. The Black Hills line was Ilnlshtnl to Hapld City early in , July ! 188C , from Rapid City to Whltewood in October , 1887 , and from Whltowood to Belle Fourche In 1890. The branch from Whltowood into Deadwood was built in 1890. The nar row gauge extension from Deadwood to Bald mountain and Ruby Basin mines was opened for tratlic In 1891. The Hot Springs branch was built from Buffalo Gap to Hot Springs in 1890. "Construction was begun on the ex tension Into Wvoinlnir In the summer of 1885. Tracklaying was begun at Dakota Junction in April , ISSti , am ! completed to Douglas in August of that year. In 1887 a bridge was built across the Platte river west of Doug las , and the track extended to Glen Hock , and from Glen Hock to Casper in May and June , 1888. "In 1885 the Chicago & Northwest ern decided to enter the South Platte country. The tine from Fremont to Lincoln was located in the winter of 1883 and grading began on it early in 1886. The bridge across the Platte river was finished In August , and the track completed to Lincoln in October , 1886. In 1887 the Hastings line was constructed from Platte River Junc tion to Hastings , and the Superior line from Llnwood to Geneva. In 1888 this last-named line was finished from Geneva to Superior. The Scribner branch was built from Scribner to Lindsay in 1886 , and from Lindsay to Oakdsle In 1887. In 1887 the Elkhorn system was connected with Omaha and the South Omaha stockyards by a line built from Arlington station , east of > Fremont on the Siour City & Paclflc road. The Croightou branch was ex tended from Crelghtou to Verdlgre in 1888. " NEW MEADOW GROVE BANK Will Open for Business a Week From Monday. Meadow Grove , Neb. , May 6.

HEADED FOR CASPER , WYOMING An Important Feature In the Growing Importance of Norfolk and the Northwest Is the Extension of the Northwestern West From Casper. Material for the now extension on the Northwestern railroad west from Casper , Wyo. , Is beginning to move westward , several carloads of tics and other materials having passed through Norfolk onrouto to Wyoming last week. It. Is said that many moro tralnloads of the materials will fol low to Casper this week and active building will begin at onco. The extension from Casper west will aid Norfolk and the entire north west , especially the line between here nnd Casper. It will probably mean the Installation of larger shops at this point , with more trains crows'center ing in Norfolk and more employes In every respect. It will materially In crease the Importance of Norfolk as center of the Nebraska & Wyoming division of the Northwestern. The extension will probably mean , too , that In time Norfolk will bo an Important point on a trans-continental Hue , with big through freight trains , tea trains , fruit trains and the llko passing through here. It will be an Important feature In Norfolk's growth , and in the growth of the northwest. Whooping Cough. The quick relief afforded by Cham berlain's Cough Remedy In cases of whooping cough , makes It a favorite with the mothers of small children. It liquifies the tough mucus , making it easier to expectorate , keeps the cough loose and counteracts any ten dency toward pneumonia. This rem edy has been used In many epidemics of whooping cough and always with perfect success. There Is no danger whatever from the disease when It Is freely given. It contains nothing In jurious and may be given as confident ly to a baby as to an adult. For sale by Leonard the druggist. OAKDALE'S NEW BANKS. Two New Buildings Give Substantial Appearance to Town.

ORDERED KING ROAD MACHINE Experimental Work to be Done on the Streets and If Successful the Meth od Will be Applied to Country Roads Gutters on Main Street. TFrom Saturday's Dally. ] The full board and the secretary were present at the mooting of the Commercial club directors last even ing , when n number of projects were enthusiastically discussed , which will unquestionably prove of benefit to the city when the wheat has been sift ed from the chaff. The nine men who constitute the board of directors , to gether with the secretary , are all per sonally Interested In the upbuilding of the town and the people may rest as sured that whatever presents Itself for the benefit of Norfolk will be lo- cnted If It Is possible for those ten men to land it. From the manner In which they are starting out on their work , It Is apparent that they do not Intend to pitch their aspirations BO high that they will secure nothing , but that they will give attention to the things right at home which will be of advantage to the business In terests. A good deal of the time of the mooting last evening was the discus sion of schemes to .Improve the con dition of the roads leading Into the city , a matter that Is of utmost Im portance to the retail trade. The King method of treating clay and gumbo roads proved an Interesting subject for discussion. Mr. King Is a road enthusiast from Missouri , whose ser vices were secured by the Chicago & Northwestern railroad company In Iowa , the company taking him In n private car over that state very much as the pure seed trains have been run In Nebraska , giving In each town Instructions as to how to build good roads cheaply. The Commercial club has secured the detail of this method and have ordered ono of the machines required to do the work , which will soon be given an experimental trial on the streets , and when the value of the method has been demonstrated here , the club hopes to have the machine working on all the clay roads coming Into Norfolk. The method Is slmpllc Ity Itself. The machine , which Is operated eratod by one team , Is especially to be used on roads after a rain. The idea is to adapt the "puddling" scheme to the roads , packing the clay or gumbo while It Is moist , which In course of a short time will pack the surface so that it will bo solid and firm and not be cut up by the passage of heavy wagons. The club also gave consideration to guttering Main street from the river to Sixth. The securing of tills Im provement ought to be comparatively easy , particularly as Mayor Friday in his message expressed himself to the council in favor of this Improvement. SATURDAY SIFTINGS. J. J.

' On the Zumbrunn and .Tacobson farms the hall broke all the window panes on the south side not protected by screens. The wind gathered up all the loose milk cans and tubs In the yards nnd took them through the trees into the field. It also took a section of harrow off the cellar door and car ried Is several rods. It blew Tommy McCurdy off his pony over a wire fence on his way home from town. Where the trees the hung over road r the ground was strewn with twigs cut off by the wind , and no doubt the _ w fruit was more or less injured. John Zumhrunn lost a large number of lit tle chicks. Luckily the path of the storm was not much over a mile wide. The telephone sometimes plays strange pranks upon an unsuspecting newspaper man. Yesterday an adver tisement was telephoned In offering household goods for sale , and the name given at the receiver end of the line sounded like "Harder , " so with out further question the Initials F.

After the paper was \ . printed Mr. Harder called up and m wanted to know in terms quite forcl- ' hie what The News meant by trying to sell his household effects. A little later Ed. Harter rang the telephone and would like to know why his ad vertisement was signed by someone else. Tlie bobble came through the fact that the telephone did not speak up clearly enough to distinguish be tween Harder and Harter. Rural Route No. 3. Mr. and Mrs. Otto Huebner went to Pierce on Friday.
