ELECTRIC CURRENT TO BE FURNISHED -
NISHED FROM NORFOLK.
E , A. DULLOCK CLOSES CONTRACT
All Night Service to be Given the Norfolk -
folk Hospital for the Insane Line
of Wire to Connect With the Power
Plnnt In Town.
I Prow rrlilio'x Unity 1
Tlio Norfolk Electric Light nnd
Power company will furnish electric
lights for the Norfolk hospital for the
Insane , contract to tlinl effect having
been awarded K. A. Bullock by the
1 lionnl of public lands niul buildings.
Tlio pnntrnpt N bused on the prlco of
10 cents per kllowntt tbo first year. 8
cuntH per kllowntt the m'roinl yonr ,
niul 7 cents the next two yonr . Un
der the pontrnet Mr. Bullock con-
utruetn n UUP of wlro from MH t'lcctrlp
plant In Norfolk to the hospital , deliv
ering the current there , where It IB
measured. The lived Inventmont
must bo Installed before nny rovonno
can bo ilorivpil , which oxplaliiH why n
lower price can bo niado aflor the
tln > t year. Even nt the prlco of in
cents It IB considered that llghtn will
bo furnlHhoil the hospital cheaper than
the Institution could operate n plant
of Its own. To run the old hospital
plant , which has been tised eighteen
years , would need considerable ex
pensive repairs to put It In shape to
operate cheaply. ' It would require the
oervlces of an extra man and the coal
would have to bo hauled thrco miles
from the rnllroad station with which
to keep up steam. Transmitting olec-
Irlclty by wlro la far cheaper than
hauling It In the shape of heavy coal
over more or less bad roads , and Mr.
Uullock Is able to do well In furnish
ing Hunts at a less prlco than the
ntnto could produce them Itself. A
little extra load at the power station
iilmply means nioro coal but no more
men , an Item that enters very mate
rially Into the production of lights at
the Institution.
Connecting with the city service ,
Hives the hospital n current nt all
hours of the day or night , whereas the
custom used to bo to dispense with
electric lights aflor 10 o'clock at night
, nnd use kerosene oil lamps until mornIng -
Ing , an Institution dangerous to both
life nnd property where used In nn
Insane hospital. Particularly Is this
true In the cottage system of hospi
tals , where forty or llfty patients will
Bleep In one room. In wards of this
character It la necessary to have
lights all night , and oil lamps are a
very poor contrivance to have where
( hero are so many Insane people. .
Arrangements are lining made nt
the Hastings hospital for an all night
electric light service , and It will not
bo many years until all such Institu
tions will bo similarly light oil. As
well as being a bud thing to be In
the reach of Insane people , nil lamps
are very dangerous bccausd of the
extra flro hazard they entail to prop
erty.
erty.Tho
The contract further provides Hint
at the end of two years , If the state
board decides to try operating Its own
.plant until 10 o'clock , that Mr. Bullock
will furnish lights after 10 o'clock for
10 cents per kilowatt. Thus the board
was able to secure anything It wanted
In the way of terms of the contract ,
because the city plant has n greater
capacity thnn it has business , and it
can be more profitably run up to Its
full power. It is a good contract for
the state and a good contract for Mr.
Uullock.
CARE OF SCHOOL PROPERTY.
Board Hires Janitor to Look After It
During the Summer.
The board of education has made
n new move that should result in n
better condition of school houses and
school grounds at the beginning of
next school year , by employing Aug
list Hollerman , janitor of the high
school , to look after them during the
long vacation months. In years past
except for an occasional mowing of
the weeds , the grounds have been neg'
lected. With the planting of trees
nnd flowers and the development ol
the lawns during recent years it was
thought to the best Interests of the
property and the patrons to keep the
grounds In thorough order all sum
mer and the engaging of Mr. Heller-
'
man < to do the work means that it will
be properly looked after.
S. T. Adams has been re-elected as
janitor at the Lincoln school by the
board , and this completes the elec
tion for the coming school year with
one exception , and that Is n teacher's
position which remains to be supplied

ONE OF THE MEN DROWNED AT
HOOPER TUESDAY.
HAD BEEN CARRIED FIVE MILES
One Hundred and Twenty Men and
Boys Have Been Dragging the River.
Body of Can Foley Not Yet Recov
ered.
Fremont , Neb. , June 9. Special to
The News : The body of Ed. Neil ,
ono of the men drowned Tuesday nt
Hooper by the capsizing of a ferry
boat , was found at noon today five
miles below where the two men fell
in the river. The body of Can Foley
has not yet been recovered.
A party of 120 men nnd boys have
been searching the Elkhorn tirelessly
since the accident and have been
greatly hindered In the work by the
high water nnd the swift current.
The activity of the stream is shown
by the fact that Neat's body was car
rled five miles during the three days
intervening between the accident and
the recovery of the body. It is
thought that the body of Foley maybe
bo even further down stream. The
finding of Neal's body has encouraged
the searchers and they will keep the
work up until the other body Is re
covered or the quest proves hopeless

DISTRICT OF NORFOLK AGAIN ON
A CASH BASIS.
THIRTEEN YEARS OF DEBT
Treasurer Schoregge Has Issued n
Call For All Outstanding Warrants ,
and There Will be a Cash Balance
Left Patrons Pleased.
( Kriiin l-'rlilav'n Dnllv )
The Hchool dlfitrict of Norfolk IH
on n ran ! ) baslnl
It ban been Komolhlng like thirteen
yearn Hlnco the same Htatctncnt could
he made and the patioim. tax payers
and school olllcern are naturally feel
ing good over a condition that ban
been long denlred but long deferred.
The nchool year cloHod with some
thing like $ MO cash In the treasury ,
enough to meet all outstanding war
rants nnd leave a balance.
Up to six yearn ago the debt contin
ued to pile up and the treasury was
nlwayn behind with Its pnymentH.
The outstanding Indebtedness had at
that lime reached the sum of some
thing over $12,000 , nnd a campaign of
retrenchment wnn Insisted upon nnd
Inaugurated , with the result that nlnce
then the debt has been gradually re
ducing.
The new revenue law came along
In time to render valuable assistance
and an n result the district In now
clear of outstanding obligations ,
Treasurer Schoregge having Innued n
call nnklng that all warrants be pre
sented for payment , as no more inter
est will be paid. During those thir
teen years It would bo dillleult to de
tail Just how much Interest ban been
paid by the district , but it would run
Into the thousands of dollars , without
n doubt. As n ntartor for the debt
the now Lincoln school was built out
of the general fund of the district nnd
the old building was moved to the *
Junction. Since that time , fortunate
ly , there has boon no need of addi
tional room and the district has pinto-
aged to got along without accumulat
ing any large Increased Indebtedness.
Them are. however , some repairs
that now require attention , among
them Improving or rebuilding the
tenting plant nt the high school that
nay throw the district a little behind
again nt the beginning of the next
school year , but thin will be wiped
out before the end of the year and
nil will bo smooth sailing.

Surface water in Norfolk continues
strictly on the surface , and shows no
inclination to retire Immediately , the
ponds and filled cellars seeming to
have a permanent supply. The
ground was never so soaked up with
moisture in the memory of the oldest
Inhabitant. There have been floods
before , but the surplus water has dis
appeared in the course of a day or
two. It is now almost two weeks
since the last rain and flood and the
water has not been reduced more than
a few inches from the level it as
sumed at that time. Cellnrs will not
drain , and if pumped dry they will fill
again completely in a few hours.
A hole dug in the ground a
few Inches almost anywhere in Nor
folk off the hills will rapidly fill with
water and there is no Immediate
prospect that it will drain away. The
fact is apparent therefore , that there
is a flood of subterranean streams
and that they are carrying no water.
The surface streams are getting down
to a normal level but they do not seem
to drain off the water that is standing
in the mudholes about town and some
of them under the warm sun have
grown very filthy.

PHASES OF CHARACTER FOUND
IN THE UP-TO-DATE SHOW.
FEATURE OF FOREPAUGH-SELLS
The Forthcoming Appearance of the
Big Menagerie In Norfolk Brings to
Mind Reminiscences of Strange An
imal Life.
[ From Saturday's Dnlly.l
The appearance In Norfolk next
Tuesday of Forepaugh-Sells Bros1 ,
great shows recalls the following writ
ten by n well known student of animal
life :
Standing In front of the monkey
cages at Forepaugh-Sells circus , 1 was
greatly amused and entertained in
studying character Simian nnd hu
man. 1 saw a youth of the Fauntleroy
type ( In dress ) refuse his mate n
piece of candy , yet he was liberal with
his gift of peanuts to the monkeys.
By contrast 1 saw a rather lively
monk snatch a peanut , open it nnd
give ono of the kernels to a quiet , se
date little monkey who did not have
the spirit to fight for his own. May
be the Darwin theory is true , how
ever. In 'evolving * these many cen-
turles , we have not , as n race , de
veloped or Improved the natural gen
erous instincts of our Simian ances
try. 1 recall watching two rare spec
imens of the chlmpan7.ee nt the Cal
cutta zoological gardens. They stood
erect , five feet , seven Inches , Noth
ing could so resemble the human spe
cies , save a man. The larger of the
two held out his hand , palm up ,
which we filled with sweets. After
deliberately tasting , he allowed his
little wife to help herself from the
open palm. Their facial expression
was extremely human and kindly.
In His Native Land.
In the early nineties I was engaged
in gold mining in the bush country
of the Surinam river , Dutch Guiana.
Wlille there I had many experiences
with the monkey. I shall never for
get my first walk from the river to
our camp. I heard from far away , a
peculiar noise. Growing nearer the
noise became almost deafening , a mix
ture of shrill squeaks and laughter ,
then a great commotion overhead. A
tribe of monkeys ( several hundred )
passed by. They travel very quickly ,
leaping from limb to limb , rarely
touching the ground.
It became a common occurrence for
tribes to pass our camp. Sometimes
they would halt , as If In wonder or
surprise , probably speculating ns to
what sort of monkeys we were. They
were always playful and mischievous ,
breaking off boughs , throwing them
as if to strike us. If , while prospect
ing , wo came across trees bearing
strange fruit or nuts , we would wait
until the monkeys came along , then
if they ate , we could do likewise , for
whatthe , monkey eats , man can safely -
ly eat , This knowledge wo gained
from the natives.
Delicious Tidbit.
Upon one occasion , while off on a
five days' prospecting tour , It became
necessary to shoot something for our
dinner. The South American monkey
Is the most delicious meat imaginable.
This Is easily understood when one
stops to think that they eat only nuts
and fruit. A diet of rich Bra/.ll nuts
or cocoanuts , with a little fruit , should
produce fine flavored meat. Just be-
'ore noon we saw several fine spec !
mpnts of the Agwata the natives'
name for the species of monkey which
ias never been seen in captivity for
: he reason that they cannot live very
tar north of the equator. They stand
Between three and four feet in height.
The face is entirely free from hair.
The head and back is covered with
eng , black , silky hair. The monkey
fur used In making ladies' furs and
rimmings , is taken from the Agwata.
They are the most gentle animal I
have met with , quite as much so as
the proverbial lamb. One of my ne
groes fired at what he thought to he
the finest of the grotip. When we
reached it we found that she held her
baby clasped to her breast , nursing.
The mother was dead , the baby un
hurt.
A Sorry Lot.
The little fellow fought against be
ing taken from his mother , but soon
yielded to kindly treatment. We were
a sorry lot of men. Needless to say
we ate no meat for dinner. The moth
er was burled nnd never afterward
was a monkey shot at by the men of
our camp. The baby thrived on con
densed milk. I made a nursing bottle
out of a large bulb syringe. At sight
of this Improvised bottle ho would
jump with glee. He slept In my ham
mock until he grew too large , then I
had a house made for him. He was
a constant source of surprise and
amusement , up and waiting every
morning for the cook , ' walk to the
creek , help draw water , take hold of
the bucket as though assisting with
the burden , take a cloth or brush"
scrub the dining table and Imitate
the men In a manner unbelievable. I
think that in time I could have taught
him some sort of language , but the
greatly dreaded bush fever caught me
I was obliged to leave the country ,
parting was imperative , as the North
American climate meant certain death
for my friend Agwata.
Of all the animals with the Fore
paugh-Sells shows , none attract and
entertain as do the monkeys. The
giant African elephant , rarest In the
world , the royal tigers , kingly lion ,
wonderful Polar bears , all Interest nnd
nstonlsh , but you will always find the
I largest ; and merriest crowd about the
monkey cage. Forepaugh-Sells great
shows will visit Norfolk Tuesday next ,
June 13 , giving two performances-
afternoon at 2 , and evening at 8
o'clock.
Whooping Cough.
This Is a very dangerous disease un
less properly treated. Statistics show
that there arc more deaths from It
than from scarlet fever. All danger
may be avoided , however , by giving
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It
liquifies ' the tough mucus , making It
easier to expectorate , keeps the cough
loose 1 , nnd 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
