THK NORKOUCNMW8 : FIHDAY , JUNE 80 , 1905. OFFICERS OF DEPARTMENT ARE OPPOSED TO IT. SAY IT IS ASKING TOO MUCH The Dullness Men Have Deen Lib- er.il With Them In the Past and They Don't Feel Disposed to Rldo a Free Horse to Death. rrtm Wei ncKt1nr' . - , , , , luck There seems to bo a decided of hnrmniiy among firemen ever the propnsUlon to hold nnotlior slate tour- nnmenl here this M-nr. II was stated tliui u mooting of lliomun ami saloon mon Imil boon hold Monday evening , at which much onthMHlnRin WIIH de veloped ever the prospect that the Btato toiunnmpnt could bo hold here nKnln Now firemen by the do/.on como up and nay that the mooting was not a representative firemen's gath ering , and that the report given out from that meeting docs not express the sentiments of the great majority of the nromon of the city. U Is claimed that the meeting was not called by an otllcer authorised to Is- mio a call , nor was It generally Unown that a meeting was to bo hold and It was not largely attc'iidod. Vresldont Nonow , Chief MoFarland. Secretary House and Treasurer Files- Icr of the department nro all quoted as opposed to asking the huHlness men to contribute to another firemen's tournament , and they are backed up In this opinion by cx-Ticasuror Winter , President Jonas of the West Side hose company , Foreman IMlgor of the Hook and Ladder company , Foreman Ileem- er of the Mast hose company , and many other firemen. They say thill HO far as they nro concerned a tournament has become an old story , and they do not want to undorlako another. Two tour naments have been held hero , one last year and the other the year before , and both were successful , and they feel that If they would undertake an other this year the chances are very much against It. Particularly Is this true , In view of the fact that Norfolk la making arrangements to celebrate the Fourth of July this year , and the business men arc contributing liberal ly to that. The firemen quoted feel that It would be an Imposition upon business men to ask thorn to raise a fund of $1,200 or $1.400 to pull oft another tournament this year. How- pvor. they say that If the Commercial club or the business mon would express - press n djpslre to have the tournament , they would he willing to undertake It. Hut they believe that It Is up to the business men to determine what should bo done , and not for I ho lire- men to decide and then go out and solicit funds. Another objection raised Is that It Is now so late In the season that It would bo Impossible to hold the tour nament before the middle or last of September , which would throw It Into the dates ahoady taken by county fairs. This would not only out down tlu- attendance but would engender the ill \\lll of neighboring towns , which would do Norfolk business man moro harm than a dozen tournaments could do good. While It Is probable that the amount of money required for a tournament could be raised , because the businessmen mon have a very tender spot In theli hearts for thc'llremon and are willing to giro them almost anything that they want , yet the firemen thorn selves must ho united In making the request. Until the department gets together on the proposition It wouh bo useless to attempt to raise mud In the way of funds. To hold tin tournament. $1.200 to ? 1,100 must bo talsod among business men , and then the ilromon themselves must guaran tee enough more to mnko an aggre gate fund of ? ' , i,000 to $0,500. The tlreinen talked with doubt If a .tour nament held In September would give I bom attendance enough to pay out the necessary expenses and purses , and they are very much opposed to undertaking It. and will not unless the business men express a desire that It bo done , in which case they stand ready to servo the town , but these officers want It distinctly under stood that the tournament will not be held ou their motion.

Storm of Last Night Adds Its Quota to The Flood. fKrnrti Tlmrmlnv'H Dnllv 1 With a thunder of fierce cross flro on the part of the elements another surplus of water was precipitated on Norfolk and vicinity last night , the clouds squeezing out their burden of moisture until soventy-hundrodths of an Inch had been added to the Juno , total and the total for the year. The way It poured down for a few mln- utes led a disgusted people to believe that something more than an Inch had fallen , but they will bo gratified to learn that they overestimated above a quarter of nn Inch. The last night precipitation brings the total for the mouth up to 4.33 Inches and the year's total to 20.55 Inches , lacking less than Inch and a half of bringing It above the yearly average for this section of the coun try , which Is 22 Inches. July and the other five months can certainly bo de pended upon to supply the "deficien cy" and the prospects are that the record will bo broken In annual rain fall. fall.Tho The collar and surface water situa tion , not to mention the bad roads and the sloppy fields continue to em barrass , and outdoor activity remains at a standstill.

With moro moderale receipts of cattle , the trade ruled moro settled and prlc.es for strictly fat cattle shows little im- provoment. Wo sold some cattle here this week at $5.75. but this class arc scarce and the general run of otittlo are soiling fully 50 cents lower than last year at this time. The present and prospective high prices for corn will cause free marketing of native cattle , anil , as the western range oat- Ho will begin to run within thirty days , wo don't see much In favor of higher prices for the near future. Wo therefore , advise our readers to keep In close touch with us and the mnr kots and ship any cattle that are reader > or that will come In competition with western cattle , whenever most conve nlent.

NO MORE CIGARETTES WILL GO Other Measures of Importance to the Common Public Will be In Force With Tomorrow Morning Some of Them Briefly Reviewed. At midnight tonight a number of now laws passed by the last legisla ture will go Into effect and tomorrow violations of the measures may re sult In prosecution by the courts. Several of the now laws nro of gen eral Interest , while others only nffoct certain classes , corporations or local ities. ities.Of Of quite general Interest Is the now anti-cigarette law , which has perhaps icon moro widely discussed than any others of the now laws. This pro- ilblts the manufacture , sale or giving away of cigarettes or cigarette papers n the state. There arc conditions of his law which only a test case can irovc. In Indiana a similar law Is in > ffect , and there people have been ar- ostod for having cigarettes In their lossosslon. Whether a Nebraskan can bo prosecuted on a similar charge enialns for tho' lawyers and the courts to say , though it is the gen eral opinion that the law is not as cxtromo as that. Whether the "man- ifaoturo" of cigarettes can bo made o apply to those who roll their own 'smokes" Is another point to bo de- tormlnod. It would seem that the law would bo prohibitive In the matter of cigarettes and papers , but It is said that In other state * where such laws are In force dealers have been known to keep a supply of papers where they are handy for the "fiends" to steal , and thus evade the law , but this may lead to trouble for the Nebraska deal er. It Is declared that users of the wood In this form may Import their cigarettes , but If that Is Iho only way to obtain them there will certainly not bo the inducement for beginners that there was , and confirmed users may not consider it worth the while. Another law of very general inter est is that subjecting automobilists testate state regulation. Hereafter It will be ncoessnrv for owners of machines to be registered by the proper officer at the state house and pay an annual tax of ? 1. The law provides that at a signal from the driver of a team the motorist must stop his machine and if necessary give the driver as sistance in controlling the horses ( while they pass Other laws passed wore : Prohib iting change of school sites without previous notice ; giving county trea surers moro power In the collection of personal taxes ; business combina tions in restraint of trade and the giving of rebates is made illegal , af ter the manner of the national anti trust law ; providing for the registra tion of vital statistics , In cities the health authorities must report deaths and births and In rural districts local registrars are appointed ; extending the opening season on prairie chick ens to three months and making the open season on quail two weeks ; au thorizing guarantee bonds for saloons ; declaring void marriages between first cousins ; requiring railroads to furnfsh ono round trip of transportation with each car of horses , cattle or mixed stock shipped and with every two cars of bogs ; providing for the care of habitual drunkards at the Insane hospitals of the state ; making the crime of adultery punishable by a line of $200 ; prohibiting the killing of red , gray and fox squirrels ; prohibit ing base ball , horse racing and other games of public sport on Memorial day : permitting cities and villages to impose a poll tax of $2 or to require two days' work upon roads within five miles of the corporate limits. A number of other laws , passed without the emergency clause , also go into effect , and some of them are of particular Interest to Individuals who should give them consideration.
