Spring rain makes a good harvest. " Another cold , raw night nnd nnoth- or cold , raw day characterized this un- UHiinl May month In Nebraska. To day the wind blow bard from the northwest all over this section of the state , and the air Is very chilly. From n patch of water that lias overflowed from the river just north of the M. & O. tracks , a cold , damp broo/o comes down on the business portion of Norfolk. The Woman's Missionary society of the Congregational church , together with the Methodist Missionary society , were very pleasantly entertained at the homo of Mrs. John R. Hays Tues day afternoon.

It Is reported from Lincoln that the Northwestern railway company Is to do something In opposition to the proposed Sioux Clty-Aslilnnd cut off that Is contemplated by the Great Northern railway. They have It there that the Northwestern Is to build a line connecting Lincoln with Oakland , giving almost direct connection be tween the south Platte country and Sioux City. With the traillc arrange ments now existing between the Northwestern ami the Union Pacific , the arrangement would bo easily ac complished. It is asserted , and If the line between Lincoln and.Soward. tap ping the Superior branch , Is built , the road would have menus of competing with the Hill Interests In Its bid for business , even In the Inttor's strong- bold , the south Platte valley. Re ports were given out from Omaha sometime ago to the effect that the Northwestern would do no building In Nebraska. However , since the an nouncement , the opposing Hues have shown such signs of activity that se rious doubts as to the advisability of Inaction have crossed the minds of the high officials. Especially Is this be- lloved to bo true , considering the fact that the Sioux Clty-Ashland cut-off would almost put the Northwestern's Omaha Hue out of business , reaching n district entered by the latter road only by a very roundabout way. Big Shoot at Nashville. Nashville. Tonn. . May II.

WATER IS HIGHER TODAY Foot Rise at Milldam Half Mile of Railroad Track Out. fl-'rom TluirMUy's Dally | Water In the Northfork river at Nor folk was a foot higher this morning than It had been last night , and was still rising. The mill Is running Its feed mill today , In spite of the water. It Is not believed that the water will rise much more and no danger Is feared. The Elkhorn Is still very high and out of Its banks In places. The rain west and north of Norfolk was tre mendous and last night's downpour did not tend to decrease the bulk of the flood. A half mile of Northwestern rail road track was washed out near Meadow Grove by the water , Tuesday night. The night passenger train was delayed nearly nil night but finally succeeded In getting through. The track has been repaired but the ground Is too soft for much work. Trains , however , are running on sche dule time now. If you want help men or women get them easily with a little want ad In The Newa. TESTIMONY OF MAIL CLERKS FAVORS KOCH. BROOKS STILL ON THE STAND Attempt to Impeach la Anticipated nnd Fought at All Points Editor Testifies That Koch Did Not Com mit Murder. Mankato , Minn. , May C.- The de fense niiido a strong point by secur ing the testimony of two mall clerks on the Minneapolis & St. Louis road , when they declared that the alleged poison package could not have boon mailed on the date when Koch was last In Hanska. The cleric whoso stamp appeared on the package wns taking n lay off on that date and hnd the stamp locked up at his homo. Asa P. Ilrooks , the mnn who saw the miirdorer , was unchanged by cross- examination. Answering questions by Senator Somorvlllo , Mr. Brooks related the conversation with Mayor Sllvorson , In which the latter Intimated that ho would withdraw his friendship from the witness If ho did not change his testimony , and Brooks said bo "would not change bis testimony If Sllvorson were to withdraw his patronage from the Review. " Mr. Brooks said that during the pro ceedings In the Justice court Attorney Popbam of Chicago said to him that In cnso the witness did not change his testimony It would bo his duty to have Mr. Oobhardt cause his arrest for perjury nnd send him to the pen itentiary. The witness said thnt In n subse quent conversation with Mayor Sllvor son ho told the latter thnt there was only ono way thnt ho could ho mis taken , nnd that was If a mnn could so change his face nnd form through passion ns not to be recognizable , but that ho did not think Koch could do this. Certain as to Koch. Mr. Brooks said that nt the Now Ulm trial ho testified that Dr. Koch bad n scar on his left cheek that ho could sco across the street. Ho said ho did not recollect testifying that ho hoard "cries of nngulsh" from Dr. Gob- hardt's olllco. The thought that n dental oporntlon was going on when bo looked over the transom , ho said , wns only a flash momentarily dis missed from bis mind. The witness said the typo of man ho saw was that of Henry Somscn and Alfred Keller. The mnn was not a , distinct typo and In general appearance resembled a number of men known to the witness. Ho did not want to Intimate that It was either Somsen , Keller or Koch. Ho was certain it was not Dr. Koch. Senator Somervllle then took up the various conversations which the wit ness was said by the state to have bad. Nearly nil of them he denied , nnd In nil cases gave long explana tions of the circumstances under which he said certain things. Ho related one conversation with Mr. Xelle In which he said Mr. Zolle told him ho ( Brooks ) was being per secuted and wns losing all his friends , nnd asked him If he could not he mis taken ns to the man he saw over the transom. Then , the witness said , ho had re peated to Mr. Zelle what he had said to Mayor Sllverson nbout a man chang ing himself in passion. Senator Som- ervlllo asked : "Did you believe a man could ever change his form through passion or otherwise so you could not recognize him ? " "I did not , " was the reply. When Senator Somerville was exam ining Mr. Brooks regarding the sep arate convdrsatlons , under the giilso of asking n question , ho made an un complimentary remark concerning re porters In general , which , upon objec tion of General Chllds , the court or dered stricken from the record. Denies Reporter's Statement On cross-examination by General Chillis , Mr. Brooks was asked concern ing statements which he was said to have made to W. G. Shepard , a Min neapolis reporter , regarding his un certainty as to the identity of the murderer. He denied most of the statements nttrlbued to him. Mr. Brooks had said , on redirect examination , that he had been "threat ened" by persons associated with the prosecution because of his statements regarding the case. General Childs leaned forward In his chair and , point ing his finger at the witness , shouted : "Did [ ever threaten you , Mr. Brooks ? " "No , sir. " "Did Mr. Pfaender ever threaten you ? " . "No. " "Did Mr. Wilson ever threaten you ? " "No. " "Ono thing more now , If the court please , " said General Chllds. "Mr. Brooks , you say when you ran up stairs you thought there was a 'rough house. ' Now tell mo why you got on the banister and looked through the transom. " "To attract attentlqn to get let In. " "So you got on the bannisters and peeked over the transom to get let In , did you ? " "Yes , sir. " "Oh , I think that's all , " said Gener al Chllds. U. of M. May Festival.

EOITORJAL NOTE [ The series of articles which will appear under the above heading , con tributed by C. F. W. Marquardt , Neu rologist and Oplhalmologist , will bo Interesting and Instructive , so that If followed carefully the reader will bo able to extract mental nnd physical benefits. Some of the propositions may appear remnrknblo In view of the popular view extant ; but the object In giving them to the public Is to cul tivate reasoning powers and to show that popular Ideas are fads , and why. ] Neurology refers to the nervous sys tem and Its function , nnd ns the foun tain of supply Is located In the brain wo will tnko It for n topic. First we bnvo the cerebrum or large brnln which occupies most of the skull , nnd the cerebellum or smaller ono which with the upper end of the spinal column occupies the rest. From the lower brain there extend twelve direct pairs of nerves to the organs operated and thirty-one pairs down the spine , making forty-three pairs. The upper brnln Is the Intellectual de partment , and It Is a fact not general ly known that phrenologists have found forty-two faculties , ns follows : Individuality , form , size , color , even tuality , time , tune , number , order , weight , comparison , spirituality , hope , approbatloness , self-esteem , firmness , conscientiousness , continuity , Inhabl- tatlveness , friendship , conjugality , pa rental love , causality , Ideality , human nature , vltattveness , combatlvcness , sccretlveness , cautiousness , allmen- tlvenoss , acquisitiveness , veneration , amntlveness , sublimity , suavity , mirthfulness - fulness , constructlveness , language , lo- cnllty , benevolence , Imitation. The nervous force which Is created dally and distributed over the ner vous system has the functions of sen sation nnd motion ; the first Is the sensation of bent and special sense , the second Is vascular nnd miisculat motor. The vascular applies to all channels of the body , such as blood vessels , etc. , while the muscular apply to nil the depnrtments of motion ns organs nnd limbs. The distribution of nerve force Is remarkable In Its duality , Involuntary and voluntary. There Is just enough current running out of the cerebellum to keep the blood circulating , operate the lungs' nnd other organic functions , maintaining the heat of the body and promoting the changes which are constantly - stantly taking place ; but when any special demands arc made the various ofllces In the cerebrum take part In their faculty and demands of them. In order to bo strong and healthy the head should be well developed behind the cars and low down , 'which Is an Indication of a large power house , but If It Is well developed while the top head Is deficient It Is an Indication of strength rather than Intelligence and that the animal nnture predominates. Another place that should be well de veloped is just above the ears. This ' gives width as well as length to the space occupied by the cerebellum. There are piany notable outward In- dlcatlons of the contents of the skull , and they are hardly fit for discussion because some may apply them too strongtly. but if you give the benefit of the doubt to those you Investigate by remembering one weak spot may be offset by several good ones , you may bave It. A narrow puplj distance indicates a narrow brain. It may be expert In one or two directions , but there Is just that much lacking of symmetry ; a forehead that slopes back decidedly can belong only to a dude or fool ; It the chin Is missing and In Its place Is a little dimple , put him In the same cage with the other fellow ; If one's ears stick to his head like they had been pasted on , he is usually secret ive , lacking in conscience ; If the ears stand straight out from the head the person is easily Influenced , Is a tire some conversationalist ; a large nose , if reasonably well-formed. Indicates good disposition , and a hooked nose Indicates selfishness , a pug nose us ually means pugnacity of the mouth order , not necessarily with the first they rarely fight , only In crowds ; high cheek bones with deep hollows under them are usually found on people who pay more attention to Idealizing than to practical things , and we frequently find In them weak stomach's and weak lungs ; deep set eyes mean a deficien cy In those organs which will cause nerve strain , and even may make a big nosed person ill tempered. This last is an illustration of how one condition may offset many appear ances , hence the necessity for the ability to analyze each case to make sure that the diagnosis Is not mis taken. In the next article I will show how wo measure the motor supply In the tank ( cerebellum ) and get the pres sure , BO that wo know how the sen sory system stands , too. If you have an article that you want to sell ; or If you need an article tbat you'd like to buy ; or If jou have a house for rent or are after ono try Nowa want ads. They reach thou sands of people , and among those people ple there la likely someone anxious to make a deal with you. UNTRUE THAT IT NEVER RAINS NORTH OF NEBRASKA. BEGINNING TO BREAK LAND Many Acres Will be Plowed This Year and Many Have Already Been Turned Water Is Secured at Slight Depth May Day Celebration. The following letter has been re ceived by The News from J. II. Sexton - ton , fortnerly of Norfolk , who Is now on the Rosebud reservation : Gregory , S. D. , May 8. As I had beard so much of the growth and progress - gross of the Rosebud reservation , since the opening last August , I thought I would join the multitude nnd see for myself. The agricultural out look was never better In the west. The soil Is a rich black loam ten Inches deep , with a clay subsoil. There Is a good supply of good water at nn easy depth of twenty to fifty feet. The general lay of the land Is rolling nnd not too rough for fnrmlng except along the creeks and breaks , which are the best , grazing lands. There will ho thousands of acres of this land broken tip hero this season , In fact It has already begun. There will be quite i crop of sod corn and flax as well as a crop of po tatoes. The building improvements here in a short tlmo are surprising. There are many typos of houses , from the bachelor's sod to the cozy cottage , made neat by the hand of woman. In fact this country reminds one of the land of Father Adam. i Rain on the Rosebud. I wish I lind the fellow here who said It never rained north'of the Ne braska line. That Is a mistake. All the land allotted by the drawing ex cept the Indian claims , is taken. Some claims are changing hands nt from $100 to $1,000 per ncro. Gregory celebrated the first day of May by erecting a flag pole on the butte north of town In the presence of about 2,000 people who had gath ered In from the surrounding terri tory. There were strangers from every part of the earth and mingling with the multitude was the red man who seemed Impressed with this cer emony. Dr. Spencer was the princi pal speaker.

Cecil Sharp , while trying to board a freight train here , was thrown under the wheels , run over and so badly Injured and mangled thnt be can * ot recover. Whooping Cough. This Is a very dangerous disease un less properly treated. Statistics show that there are more deaths from It than from scarlet fever. All danger may be avoided , however , by giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. U liquifies the tough mucus , making it easier to expectorate , keeps the cough loose , and makes the paroxysms of coughing less frequent and less se vere. It has been used In many epi demics of this disease with perfect success. For sale by Leonard the druggist. TO JURY THIS WEEK. Koch Murder Trial Will Probably be Ready Friday Noon. Mankato , Minn. . May 9. The testi mony In the Koch murder trihl today brought out nothing new for the de fense.
