The wet season has prevented many of the chicken eggs from hatching and the uneven toin peratnre has not been the most ad vantagcotis to tholr growth. The weather was line for the open Ing day of the annual Held trials at/ O'Neill. The derby race was called llrst and It was found that there wore , lee many entries for one day's work. ' Twelve braces of dogs ran Monday ami as many more started yesterday. The pups all did good work and the judges will llnd It dllllcult to make a leclKlou. Today the celebrated dogs , , Alplno Lad , Topsoy's Dot , Hicks' Lad I and Doctor Okaw , will compete for the subscription slakes , upon the result of f which much money will change hands. Thursday the Nebraska stakes will be run and local Interest Is at high tension , as the entries include all the best dogs of the stato. The Missouri state trials follow and many dog enthusiasts from that state are now hero and more are expected. The llrst word that has been re ceived from J. C. Walker , the missing Norfolk high school principal , came late yesterday afternoon In the shape of a telegram to the superintendent. It said simply , "Impossible to come ; look elsewhere. " Mr. Walker wired from Deadwood. It Is believed that ho came to Norfolk expecting to llnd an easy Job and that he soon learned ' ' that he was up against work for which ' he had no preparation. Saturday af ternoon ho remarked that the Iatln hero was "heavy , wasn't It , " hut ho was told that It. was merely the aver- ' ago course. At the teachers' meeting Mr. Walker was apparently uneasy while the work was being outlined and It was early In the same evening that ho rushed up to the homo of the su perintendent In a cab and excitedly announced that ho must leave. "I have a message , " ho declared , "which says come at once. " Later It trans pired that ho had never received a message at all. Mr. Walker taught last year at Crelghton and had Intend ed to visit there with friends during Sunday , hut his "message" called him home before he could get to Crolghton. MADE HIS BLOOD BOIL. S. F. Ersklne Is Surprised to Find Sent iment Supporting Dletz. "It makes my blood boll to learn that anyone would uphold the shootIng - Ing of llartlo Elseffor by Eugene Diet/ at the Elkhorn river , " said S. F. Ers- kino today , regarding the fact that Diet/ has supporters In his deed. "The boy came within a quarter of an Inch of being murdered In cold blood. A fraction of an inch would have severed nn artery and ended his life , and It was no fault of Dlctz that ho has survived. And yet there are those who uphold the shooting. "Tho statement of those who claim the boys were nuisances Is untrue. Every boy In that crowd was brought up in a good homo , with a good train ing , and not one of them would misbe have. And another thing , it Is neces sary to approach the river bank before the swimmers can bo seen. They can not bo seen from the public highway nor from Dletz's house. The only rea son that angered him was the fact that they had disturbed his fishing appara tus , which shouldn't have been In the river In the llrst place. " Mr. Ersklno llrst learned of the fact that there U a sentiment among some people to uphold Dletz. In yesterday's News. At first he took the news Item to bo an endorsement of the sentiment j on the part of the newspaper but later ho recognized the fact that the article ns published was merely a statement of news , in which one phase of the matter was chronicled. The public should distinguish between news Items and editorial opinions. It Is the business of a newspaper to give all sides of all questions as accurately as possible so far as the news columns are concerned. The Diotz affair had already boon treated editorially by the paper , and the shooting had not been uphold In any respect. FINAL TRANSFER OF INSANE ORDERED - DERED TO NORFOLK.

Dr. Alden , who wont to Lincoln on business connected with the hospital , has not yet , returned and it Is not def initely known when the transfer of the sixty-five patients will bo made , but It Is presumed they will arrive Homo time this week. This will make , In all , about , MO patients In the three cottages practically taxing the capac ity of the Institution. Dr. Alden had been anxious to re- celvo nil men , on account of the work to bo done , nnd Dr. Green of Lincoln had linen equally anxious to send all women , on accrunt of the overflow thoro. The notion of the board Is taken as n sort of compromise , with the odds slightly In favor of Aldon. Regarding the location of officers , which Imil created some little friction , j a report says : I To offset the visit , of Senator Young and Steward Peters of the Norfolk asylum the other day Superintendent , Alden came down last night to call upon Governor Mickey. By appoint ment the two men mot nt the Llndoll hotel nnd hnd a long conference , at the close of which Superintendent Alden - den said : "So fnr as I know things will run along smooth. I am the su perintendent and expect to remain such as long as I hold the ofllco. " 1 The two men could not agree about the division of the rooms which they were to occupy and the result Is that Steward Peters will ho housed down- town and the superintendent will re- ' , main In the Institution.

Mrs. Coventry had felt lowed her husband unknown to him i and wns approaching in the brush | when he mistook her for an nnlmnl nnd fired. A bullet pierced her brain. l It Is said there Is general disappoint- } nient over the small attendance nt the 1 state fair from the northern part of the state. It is a long way to go to n fnlr , nnd people of north Nebraska ' counties are showing magnificent ills- plays nt their own fairs this year , i while their race programs are unusi I unlly good , and they are adopting the > i policy of patronizing home institutions.

Booth to Lead His Pupils to a Regular Robinson Crusoe Colony. The original plans for Nebraska's' football training camp provided that about two dozen men were to bo taken : - en , but this number has boon enlarged until It Is now quite probable that the list will include from thirty to thirty- six men. Many of these will bo freshmen i- men , Captain Bork having notified up- > wards of fifteen prospective students i , whose previous football experience holds out the promise that they should make good at Nebraska , that they are I to go to the camp. 1 The cheering announcement has been made that Booth , the head coach i , Is to come on from New York and join the training camp within n day or two nftor the tents have been pitched at South Bond. Manager Morrison has rented an alfalfa patch for use ns n . prnctlco fleld , nnd declares that the lo i- cation of the cnmp should prove Ideal. It Is nearly five miles from the nearest town , with the unbrldged Platte river In between , nnd the squad will bo put through a rigid course of training with-1 out Interference from spectators or the desire to break away from camp to go to town. A year ago Booth did not , come from his home in New York city | until the last week in September , and 1 ! the result was that the cornhuskors' ' were illy prepared for the early season j games. This year he will bo on the ground when the curtain Is llrst rung up , and there Is no gainsaying that the presence of the head coach should do wonders toward fitting the cornhusk- ers for the coming fray. Considerable Interest attaches to the announcement that a younger brother of John Bender , who graduated at Nebraska last spring Is to enter nnd make a try for the cornlmsker team. The yonnsor Render Is said to have all the speed possessed by his older broth er. CALUMET Baking * Powder The only high grade Baking Powder sold at a moderate price.

The general quality of the offerings is good nnd with the corn fed cattle scarce the trade ruled nctlvennd prices for the best grades nre still well sustnlned while prices for the other grndes are generally 10 to 15 cents 1 lower. * The demand for heavy feeders of good quality continues good at $3.75@ -1.00 while the good to choice feeders are selling $3.30@3.75. Light and mo dlum stockers slow sale at $3.00@3.50 , according to weight , quality and con dltlon. We look for n strong demand ifor ' good cattle and still advise any one desiring cattle this fall to place tholr orders with us as soon ns pos- Bible. We look for strong or higher prices for choice fat cattle for some months but the outlook Is still uncertain for the fair to good cattle until after the range cattle season Is over. Messrs.

Sheep and lambs are | In larger supply and prices for all kinds of fat stuff are 15 to 35 cents . lower , while feeding stock does not show more than half this decline. GERMANY SORE ON YANKEE. Miller , at Aixla-Chappelle , Wrote News Interviews Which Hurt. Washington , Sept. C. P resident Roosevelt now has before him the case / of J. Martin Miller , the United States consul at Aix-ln-Chappelle , who Is per sona non grata to the German govern ment and who will be given another 11li berth In the consular service unless lit the president decides to raise him. When an ofllcer is objectionable to a government to which he Is accredited , there t is no alternative for the govern ment he represents but .to send anoth er person who is acceptable. Miller during his service as a newspaper cor respondent , procured an Interview with Admiral Dewey , who criticised the Ger man admiral unfavorably. In 1898 Miller visited Samoa , when Germany , Great Britain and the United States were In difficulties over these Islands. He wrote nn nrtlcle In which ho told how the Germnn government had de ported King Mataafa and declared It was behind the scheme to place young Malietoa on the throne.

A woman who has been known ns Frances Blind since her Infancy , thir ty-three years ago , has been found , af ter months of search , by the British consul in New York as the keeper of a boarding house In Newark , and In formed that her real Identity has been hidden from her all her life. She Is the only daughter of a weal thy lumber merchant of London. Her own mother Is dead , as Is her foster mother. Her foster father has disap peared. Her real father is a wealthy Londoner named Boutwe'll. and the woman herself discovers she Is really May Boutwell of London. She was brought to this country as an Infant by the governess In the Bout- well family , Mrs. Catherine Blind. Mrs. Blind , with her husband , settled In Newark , and was regularlysupplied with money with which to rear the ' / child. Mrs. Blind was bound by prom- b Iso not to reveal to the child the fact J that she wns not her real mother and Blind her father , until the time should como when the Londoners themselves should decide to acknowledge her. About nine months ago Miss Blind learned through a New York lawyer of the publication of an advertisement seeking information ns to the whereof - of Mrs. Catherine Blind or chil- , ( Iron. Mrs. Blind died twenty yenrs * ji , ago. A few days ngo came the Information mation through the British consul that a sum of money nnd some real estate had been left In London , probably by the girl's mother , to Catherine Blind and her children. From the facts she was able to present , the British consul nssured her that her claim to the es tate seemed genuine. O. R. MEREDITH , D.O OSTEOPATH. Office , Collon Block , 'Phone Black 23.
