WILL HELP SECURE INDUSTRIES Secretary Mnlhcwson of the Commer cial Club Welcomes an Announce ment That May Mean Much ( or the .Future of Norfolk. ( From SntunliivV Oully.1 Secretary Mathowmm of the Com mercial dull IIIIH received Ihroiigh Agent Matrau of llio Chicago * North western , a circular loiter Issued liy Kdmnnd I ) . Hrlgham , general freight agent of that nmil , which may mean iinich to the fuliiro of Norfolk. The circular announccH ( ho establishment of an Industrial department IIH a part of the tralllu organization of the com- puny. It IH the purpose of the now department to work In close co-opera- ( Ion with the commercial or IniHlnoHH men's MMsoclatloiiH In IOWIIR and cities along the Northwestern line anil to provide manufac.ttirerH anil othorH seeking new locations with dollnllo ami rellahle particulars regarding the advantages and opportunities at any and all the points reached by dm road. It Is piomlHcd that the commercial cluh will he advised from lime to time of applications received hy ( ho do- imrtmcnt. HO that If any such seems snllahle to the surroundings , an ef fort may he inado to secure the pro posed enterprises. All Informal Ion Is to ho sent direct to George Hounoll , Industrial agent , tralllu department , C. * N. W. railway. Chicago. Accompanying the circular Is a list of questions which Secretary Mathow- son will answer. The department wants to know the population of the town , and whether It has such public conveniences as water supply , sewer system , water power and what capac ity , electric power , electric light , gan supply and the number of hanks. Nor folk has all these except sewerage , and a movement Is on fool now In the council for that. "Description of available buildings for manufacturing or mercantile UHO , Htato whether for lease or sale , iiamo and address of owner or agent , kind of structure , area of lloor space In square feet , present equipment In ma chinery , power , etc. , former use , what purposes now adapted for. Also how located as regards private trade fa cilities and nearness to our terminal facilities. " The answer to ( his ques tion will give a description of the sugar factory properly , which In a law hrlcU structure , with ten 10(1- ( horse-power hollers standing , an abun dance of sldo tracks running to the plant , and It would seem that , through this department , If no other , a valua ble manufacturing Institution might be secured to occupy It. Then the department wants Information mation as to any vacant property suit able for Industrial or mercaiitllo pur poses , area of same , and whether ac cessible for sldo tracks and distance from the Northwestern tracks. Informal mal Ion Is wanted as to the labor sup ply , kind of fuel used , principal pro ducts of the country , what natural ad vantages does the country surround ing possess In the way of sand , clay or marl beds adapted to the manufac ture of cement , brick , tile , glass or other similar products. There are undoubtedly great possl bllltles for the now department of the Northwestern system to be of Immense benefit to the towns reached by that mad. While the prhno object In es tablishing the department Is ( o In crease the freight and passenger bust ness or the road , yet the towns In which the department becomes Inter ested will reap a greater bonellt than the road. Acting In conjunction with the commercial clubs of towns Nor folk , for Instance many investors ought to become Interested hero whr would not otherwise ever learn of the p'ace. With a broader Held of In qulrlcs than any business men's or ganlzatlon could possibly secure , tht new Industrial department has it with In range to materially build up the places along Its lines , and from the business llko methods used In the preliminary liminary circular there scorns no doubt but that It was the Intontloi u when the department was established to do everything possible to Induce In dustrles of a substantial nature to locate cato In Northwestern towns. It cannot be understood that a fo\\ localities nro to bo favored above oth ers , for all must be given an oqua' ' show according to the resources am' ' Inducements offered by each Individ ual community. With this understand ing lot Norfolk make as good a repro scntation as possible , and see if satis factory inducements cannot bo of fered here to bring in more now Indus tries. The proposition looks very good to the Commercial club and Sccrotarj Mathewson welcomes It as a valuable auxiliary to the work that the club Is trying to accomplish.

DECIDED LAST NIGHT TO HOLD TWO DAYS' MEETING. JUST BEFORE DATTLE CREEK Unliifj the Funds Still In Hand From the Former Meeting , as n Guarantee of Expenses , Norfolk Will Hold Race Meet. ( From TiioHiliiy'M Unity. ] A two days' race mooting will be leld In Norfolk August 23 and 21. At a well attended meeting of horse- uen and buslnesH men who had subscribed - scribed to the Fund for a race meeting m the Fourth of .Inly. It was decided awl night In the city hall to hold two lays of races In this clly In August , ho funds In hand remaining over from ho former Hubscrlptlon to bo used as i guarantee. The amount In hand Is ifill.17 which , It WBH thought by the Himmltteo In charge of the former ilans. will bo enough to nlcoly take nro of all expenses even In case the gate receipts failed. The meeting was called by Chair- nan C. 1C. llurnham of the committee n order to decide whelhor or not the unds contributed by the business men o ( ho former proposed events , should used In holding another meeting or lot. The races planned for the Fourth ) f .Inly , It will bo remembered , were leclarcd off on account of rain. A large number of enthusiastic busl- ess men and horsemen answered the all for the meeting and all were hear- ily In favor of holding the races later. Not a dissenting volru was heard igalnst the proposition , and no one iresent had even heard of an objoc- .Ion to the races. Details of Meeting , In the absence of Chairman Hum- lam , who was out of town , D. Math- nvson read the statement of llnance , showing the expenditures and the bal- nice on hand of $511.17. The matter of holding another mooting was then brought up for discussion. President W. H. Johnson inado re marks favoring a second attempt at holding the races. Although ho will be out of the city himself , he thought that the meeting could bo made a suc cess and that the funds on hand wore enough to amply guarantee the ex penses. Inasmuch as the great portion tion of the expenses had already boon incurred , In the building of the stands , the stalls , preparing the track and the like , he thought the cost of this second race would bo comparatively small. Others spoke , also , In favor of the proposition. H was innrcU and seconded that a two days' race moot Ing bo held , using the Hindu on hand as a guarantee fund , and that the dates he August 23 and 21. The motion carried unani mously. Track In Excellent Shape. The race track here , according to W. If. Vail. Is In excellent condition , stands are erected , fences are up and j there Is nothing lacking but a small addition to the grand stand which will cost about $ SO. The track , ho said , may need atton- tlon In case of rain but otherwise not much extra work will bo needed. The idea In the dates Is to got the races In just ahead of the Short Shipment cir cuit , which takes place at Hattlo Creek , Stanton , Neligli , Crelghton and Madison , beginning August 30 and con tinuing until September 20. This will bring the best horses that arc booked for these later events , as Norfolk will be tholr starting point , just ahead of the Hattlo Crook races. Mr. Johnson estimated that the entrance - trance fees will cover forty percent of the purses and that $50 or ? GO will cover the advertising. Moro stalls could bo used hut they are not abso lutely necessary for the flrst meeting. Hy next year It will bo necessary to have more stalls. Stores Mathewson President. W. H. Johnson resigned as presi dent because of Inability to bo In the city at the time of the races and Storrs Mathowson was elected to the posi tion. Halph Uraascb was ro-electod secrotnry and C. 13.

Ho Is Known far and wide throughout the country , and him- wide througoul that country , and hun dreds of his old friends will greet him today and congratulate him upon at taining the ago of a centenarian. The crowning ceremony of the day will bo at Ii o'clock , when Mr. Warner will plant a centennial oak.

IS SOLIDLYJNTRENCHED The News' Noon Edition Has Long Ceased to be an Experiment. "As 1 believe your paper is the com ing Dally of the northwest. I would HUe to have It sent to my address , " writes W. 15. Hrldgoman of Gregory , S. D. This is but a sample of the let ters received every day at The News olllce and Is Indicative of the manner In which the paper is being received In every town In ( he field which Is at tempted to be covered. A representative of the paper re turned last evening from a trip west ! | and north , which Is the most success ful ever made. At every town visited ho found a cordial feeling toward The N'ows. Those who arc taking the pa per seemed very willing to pay and ) the almost Invariable reply when hoj I solicited a now subscriber was , "Sure , send it along. I have seen It , and It' Is all right. " During the trip prac tically 200 now names were added to' | ' the subscription list , and it has been i , ' demonstrated that the paper Is solidly entrenched In the towns of north Ne braska which can bo reached from Norfolk either by the noon trains or those leaving here during the afternoon - ; noon or evening. The paper carries to ! : Its patrons later news than they can possibly get through any other medl-j uin , and the fact seems to be appro- elated In a substantially encouraging manner. The noon edition contains , besides a summary of the news that has appeared In the morning papers , the markets of the day and the gist of the forenoon telegraph. Sometimes there Is considerable doing In n news way early In the day and other times It Is very light , but readers of The News rest assured that If there Is any thing going on It will be placed before them whllo It Is fresh. Not only does the paper reach the railroad stations , but It goes to many towns and postolllces away from the railroad , being sent on trains that will connect with star mail routes. Last week Goo. n. Christoph had business In the town of Xapor , some twelve mlles from IJiitto In Hoyd county , and ho saw The News In every place of business that lie visited. A short time previous to .that J. B. Maylard had IniRlnoflfl at Sprlngvlow , Keya Palm county , and on reaching the town he asked for the lale.it newapaper , when a copy of The NOWH wnn handed to him , with the remark that the pa per wan generally taken there , as It gave them a nlx-houi'M later service than any other paper that could reach them. These are but Mamplcfl of what ( ho paper IH doing , and I boy are not unusual HiimpIoH , either. Two years ago the noon edition of The NOWH was Hlarted with considerable doubt an to what the outcome might be , because It was a venture that meant going against strong competition from the Omaha , Sioux City and Lincoln paporn , It meant an Increase of olllco expense of practically $50o a month , with the prospect that the venture might be a failure. Hut It was found that the Held was already ripe for just mirh a paper aH The News became. People In north Nebraska and South Dakota towns who could only get morning papers from the cities , which reached them along toward night , felt the need of Homolhltii ! later , and they welcomed the advent of noon edition of The NOWH. It Immediately Jumped Into popular favor and has never waned. i Instead of being an auxiliary to the edition , as had boon expected , I the noon edition quickly became the j principal paper of the day , and now twice as many subscribers are served 'with ' this paper as there are with the last edition. For awhile , nnlll revenues began to accrue , the venture was mighty up-hill business and kept the exchequer of the olllco at a low stage all the time , but ( he past few weeks have demon strated ( hat the worst Is over , because when people will put up their cash for a Ihlng It proves conclusively that they want It and that they will con tinue to want it. The paper does not aspire to vol ume. What It tries to do Is to give as much of the news of the world as Is possible In condensed form , an espe cial feature being made of late tele graph , markets and north Nebraska and South Dakota news. The typo used Is set closely together and a col- uniii of The News contains much more than a column of any other daily In the state outside of Omaha and Lin- coin. This Is a fact that cannot bo denied. There Is no dally in the state that does not pad out Its matter with 2-polnt leads and a great number of dashes , all of which fill space and make llttlo look to ho much. The News uses no 2-polnt leads In Its make up except In editorials , uses as few dashes as possible , all Its matter being set with 1-polnt wafers , every thing being condensed in every pos sible manner. When It Is considered that there are 1110 points in an ordinary - nary column , it will readily bo seen that the elimination of ono from be tween each two lines of type means 'somelliing in the way of consensatlon. People who arc Interested In what The News is doing are Invited to visit the press room of the paper any day between 11:30 : and 12 o'clock and see ho\v many papers are turned out on the fast press that Is used to handle the edition. Papers actually printed land mailed come nearer'telling the story of what the paper Is doing than any person's unverified statement. JUDGE DAVIDSON OF TECUMSEH ANNOUNCES SELF.

The animal belonged to the child's grand father whom the child was visiting and the boy , unwatched , was playing with him with a stick. The dog tore the cheek open and a long gash In the throat. SEVERAL CHANGES IN THE STA TUTES NOW IN EFFECT. FREE DISTRIBUTION OF LAWS i ! Game Warden Carter Has the Laws i Printed in Pamphlet Form for the Information of the Public Chicken Season Opens September 1. George L. Carter , chief game war den at Lincoln , has had printed newly compiled copies of the game and fish laws which may ho obtained by those Interested by sending a request to that | I department of the state government.I j Several Important changes were inado' I In these laws by the last legislature which It will be an advantage to fish ers and hunters to know , and those who want their Information direct and authoritatively will do well to wrlto for a copy of the laws rather than take the chances of running counter to a deputy and Into trouble. As a detail Warden Carter suggests that those who desire to report violations of the law should address him personally and sign their letters. Such letters and signatures will ho treated with strict confidence- , while If the letters are unsigned they will be given no other attention than to start them on the shortest possible route to the waste basket. Probably the most imporlant change by the last legislature was the opening en the season for the hunting of prai rie chickens on September 1 , to con tinue until November 30. This gives three months In which this popular game bird may be shot , and furnishes llio longest open season that the hunt ers have had for years. It Is provided that during September It shall bo un lawful for any person to kill or have In his possession more than ten prai rie chickens during any one day. The open season for quail Is but fifteen days , from November 15 to November 30. The open season for wild geese , ( lurks , and other water fowl Is from September 1 to prll 15 , next ensuing ; the snlpo season is from September 1 to the 15th of next May. The open season for pigeons , doves and plovers is from July 1 to August 1. The limit to killings hy hunters are made at ten wild geese or brants and twenty- llvo game birds of any other variety. and shall not have In possession more than ten peeso or brants , fifty ducks or fifty other game birds. flic open season for trout not less than eight inches in length shall be gin April 1 and end October " 0 , the same provisions to apply to bass. The open season on all other flsh shall bo from April 1 to November 15. Twen ty-five fish is the limit for a day's catch for each person and not moro than fifty flsh must be ofund in the possession of any person at any ono time. No other manner of flshing is legalized than that with a line and rod , and no more than five hooks may bo used on one line. It is made unlawful for non-residents nf the Kfjitn tn flsh nr limit wlfliniit n license. Residents of the state may fish and hunt in their own counties without a license , but to go into an other county a license is required from the county clerk. Prohibitions , al most absolute , are made against the killing of certain birds and animals. To kill , harm , injure or destroy any robin , lark , thrush , blue-bird , king bird , wren , Jay , swallow , oriole , wood pecker , yellow hammer , cuckoo , yel- lowblrd , bobolink or other bird of llko nature , or to destroy nests or eggs Is made an oitense pnnistiabie by heavy lines. The same protection Is given red , fox or gray timber squirrels , Mon golian pehasants , China pheasants , or other Imported game birds. The law Is exceedingly stringent re garding the shipment of protected birds and game flsh or animals , also regarding their use at hotels , restau rants and boarding houses , and the United States laws are made to pro tect the game and fish in the matter of Inter-state commerce. The entire law is made to be used and officers and individual citizens are encouraged In their enforcement of the laws. The opening of the chicken and grouse season earlier and keeping It open later , It Is thought , will furnish less incentive to law violations and protect the game from the pot hunt ers , who have excused violations on the ground that when the season did open the game was so scarce and wild that no sport could bo enjoyed.
