The names of several persons have been mentioned us candidates who reside In the southern part of the state. Among these are Judge Ames of Lan caster county , .ludgo Utton of Jeffer son , Judge Davidson of Johnson , Judge Calkins of Buffalo. Judge MelMieoly of Kearney county , and perhaps some others whoso names 1 do not now re call. Any ono of the candidates men tioned would ho acceptable to repub licans generally , so far as I know.

DIETZ HAS SOME SUPPORTERS The Shooting of the Swimmer Whom Dletz Claimed Had Trespassed , Is Upheld by Some of His Neighbors. They Will Stand by Him. IKrnin TtiPFilnv'H Pnllv.l Bartlo Elsoffer , who was shot and wounded during a swimming expedi tion , by Eugene Dieta few we'oks ago , was abio for the first time since the shooting to bo out of doors yes- torday. Ho was taken out In a wheel ing chair and was given a llttlo fresh nlr. Ills wounds have healed rapidly and ho will soon bo all right again , it Is believed. At the trial of Diet/ , which Is set for the coming term of district court , there promises to bo unusual Interest on both sides of the caso. The friends of the wounded young man have all along been enraged over the affair , claiming that the law gives no man permission to deliberately shoot down a follow being , oven though ho bo a trespasser. Friends of Dlctz , on the other hand , are strenuously upholding the shooting us a Just punishment for trespassing and for annoyance caused by town boys who visit the swimming hole. "Thoro will bo the biggest string of farmers you ever saw In a courtroom , " said Burr Tnft , regarding the matter , "when the case comes to trial. Farm ers from all of that neighborhood , whether they nro friends of Dieter oven acquaintances of his , will bo on hand to do what they can for him. And If he Is convicted , they will help In the appeal. No farmer jury would sentence him. "What are you going to do when young men make nuisances of them selves and misbehave In the presence of your family ? " "Have them arrested , " was suggest ed. "And how ? When you approach they run. You can not Identify swim mers twenty feet away from you , oven though Intimately acquainted with them. " "The law should protect a farmer In n case of that sort In some way. " "Theoretically It docs , hut practical ly it doesn't. It Is Impossible to make the arrest. And the fanner has a right to keep people off his land. " And so , from such expressions on the ono side nnd from the contrnrj expressions of these who bollovo that the law does not glvo license to resorting sorting to guns nnd Inflicting wounds that endanger human life , It Is ev Ident that there will bo keen Intcrcsl In the trial when Dletz appears before the district court.

THE THERMOMETER DON'T SAY FROST BUT IT WAS HERE. ONLY LOW GROUNDS TOUCHED Visitation Is so Light That the Govern ment Thermometer Did Not Find It Out Practically no Damage Done to Growing Crops. fl-'rom Mondny'p Dnllv.J The low grounds showed a slight frost this morning. It Is not believed that there was enough of It to do any damage at all but It WIIH frost Just the ante. The government thermometer at Dr. Sailer's residence , which Is on omparallvely high land , only went to 17 , iacklng live degrees of the frost mint. The Instrument Is In n box five foot from the ground , nnd when ho temperature gets to splitting hairs oven that height might make some llfferonco. So that while the govern- nont thermometer showed that there vas no frost , In truth In tho. vallevs hero was a slight appearance of white in at early hour this morning. It was so very light , however , that It cannot losslbly hnvo done any damage. A telephone message from Lew lay's farm four miles west of town says there was no frost In that locally - y , so that It may bo that the frost was local in the Immediate neighborhood of Norfolk. There was quite n heavy 'rost In the western part of the state vestcrday morning , but It did no dam- igo as everything was out of danger.

A View of Norfolk Music. Charles E. Watt of Chicago , presi dent of the Western Conservatory of Music , which Mrs. Cora A. Reels rep resents In Norfolk as teacher , was hero a few weeks ago and upon his re turn ho wrote as follows to the Mu sical Leader and Concert Goer. There nro other first class musicians In Nor folk besides those mentioned , but na turally Mr. Watt did not come In con tact with them while ho was here : "W. S. B. Mathews has Just pub lished an article on "Music in the West , " In which ho writes entertain ingly of music in such centers as Chicago cage , Ann Arbor , Oberlin and Lincoln , Neb. , and makes some comment on music development In smaller places throughout the west. If he desiren. however , to see the most wonderfi 1 advance ho should visit a few of the smaller places In such states ns Ne braskn , for Intsanco , for there the growth of the past ten years has been phenomenal. This fact has been em phasized during the past week through a visit to some of these places. " "In Norfolk , Neb. , most of the music development has been through Mrs , Cora A. Beels , n woman of Indomita ble energy and of very unusual peda goglc and musical equipment. Nor folk does not attract ninny fine con certs from thd outside , but Mrs. Beels has developed a fine society of musi cians In the town Itself , nnd the num ber of local concerts and the quality of them is extremely creditable. When these fall to offer the proper stimulus Mrs. Beels engineers little trips to Omaha or Sioux City for the purpose of hearing en masse such artists as Paderowskl or Mclbn Church music has not developed ver > greatly , owing to a lack of good or gans , but by degrees the education Is advancing , and results grow better continually. The best organists am' leaders are Mrs. E. O. Mount. Mrs. II L. Snyder and Miss Katbryn Shaw " .Sudden Attack of Dysentery Cured. A prominent lady of Brooklyn.

They gave mo some of this medicine nnd It cured me. I brought a bottle homo and have just used the last of It today. Mother was taken suddenly 111 of dysentery nnd It helped her Immediately. " For sale by Leonard the Druggist ELKS LODGE FIGURE ON ERECT ING A NEW BUILDING. IDEA POPULAR WITH MEMBERS Would Probably Purchase a Lot on a Side Street and Build a Home That Would be a Credit to the Order and the Town. I From Mondiiy'H Dally ] A movement IH on foot nmong the Elks of the city which may lend to the erection of n hnjidsomo club house another season. The lease on the present quarters In the Durlnnd build ing expires May 1 next , nnd already the lodge Is speculating upon what will bo done nt that time. The matter has been brought up now on account of the erection of n now block at the corner of Norfolk avenue nnd Fifth Htreet by D. Roes. It wns Mr. Roes' plan to make the now building only ono story high , but ho offers to add a second floor to be used ns club rooms If the Elks will mnko a lenso for n term of eight yenrs. While the mut ter Is under discussion , Mr. Durland offers to mnko decided concessions from the lense now In effect , If the lodge decides to remain as a tenant ot his building another five years. The question was considered nt a special meeting of the lodge Saturday even ing , and the whole matter was laid over until next Saturday night , the trustees In the meantime being In structed to investigate what the cost would be of putting up n now building by the lodge. The Idea of owning its own club rooms Is gaining rapidly nmong the members of the lodge , who llgure that the amount of rent pnld each year would more than keep up the Interest on an Investment In an exclusive club house. The thought of owning a house built expre.ssly for their use has been the dream of Elks for a long time , and It may be that the agitation of the question will bring about the re sult. Several plans have been ad vanced as to the method of raising funds to erect the building , the most popular of which seems to bo to form a stock company among the members , the stock to bo redeemable by the lodge as rapidly ns funds can bo se cured to take It up. In 1887 the Odd Fellows put up n building on Malu street on a plan akin to this , and now It Is ono of the most valuable business properties In town nnd Is prnctlcnlly all paid for by the order. The plan that seems to meet with a good deal of favor among the Elk Is to purchase a lot on ono of the side sheets within n block or two of Main street , and erect n model club house , setting It back from the street enough to make pretty grounds In front. No one has got far enough along to sug gest much In the wny of details for the proposed building , but It Is expected that besides the usual lodge room , par lor , billiard and card rooms , there would bo added n neat cafe , bowling alloys , baths and possibly sleeping rooms for non-resident members. If a smart man should come along , nnd tell the people how to live easier and more comfortably , the fools would fight him , and cause him to glvo up- his system. A. C. ONO , A.
