JOHN D. TALKS IN REMINISCENT
VEIN TO FRIENDS.
HE SAYS "MONEY IS NOT ALL"
His Sister Says II Is a Shame the Way
Her Brother Has Been Abused She
Says as Long as Her Father Has
Been Made a Mystery , Let Him be.
"When ti ninn 1ms lived a llfo BO
linro and good ns lins my brother , It
Is time It was recognized , " snld Mrs.
W. C. Uudd , sister ot John 1) . Rocke
feller , toilny , suys a Cleveland dis-
imteh ,
"Hut nil the false and unkind things
they have written about my brother , "
the gray-haired lady went on , her voice
almost breaking under the weight of
her Indignation , "can have no other
effect than just the opposite of what
was intended. They were meant to
make folks hate my brother and think
111 of him , They are really making
people think the other way. "
Parents Not Poor.
Mrs. Rudd denied that her parents
were poverty-stricken when their chil
dren were young.
"This house has been the home of
the Rockefeller family for forty-live
years , " she said. "Forty-five years
ago Christinas wo moved into It. My
brother John , when ho wns just turnIng -
Ing 19 , ordered all the material and su
pervised the building of it It was a
pretty good house in those days. Does
It look as If wo were poverty-stricken
then ?
Rockefellers Not Paupers.
"My mother lived here until the day
she died sixteen years ago. She never
know what it was to want for any
thing. And they say we were paupers !
When my brothers married they left
the old home. John built a house next
door. It wasn't so grand a house as
this , but it was comfortable. When I
married , my mother lived hero with
us.
"My father ? No , I didn't say he
was dead.
"John looked after the building of
the house because our father was away
much of the time. But it was built
with father's money and he came back
and forth and stayed here whenever
ho could. Since they have made a
mystery out of my father it can stay
a mystery for all I care. "
OIL KING'S TEARS FLOW.
Rockefeller's Emotions Stirred by Cit
izens' Praise.
When John D. Rockefeller came to
Cleveland fifty-two years ago , a youth
without money , education or experi
ence In the ways of this world , ho
sought out several of the more promi
nent men of the city and asked for
work , says another Cleveland report.
He got it.
Yesterday the sons and grandsons
and a few of the men who were the
companions of his early days , to the
number of100 , stormed the heights of
Forest Hill and swept down the bar
riers which wealth and position have
built around the richest man in the
world and joined with him in the cele
bration of the fifty-second anniversary
of his arrival in Cleveland of his
start in life.
The affair was informal , and yet the
message of good will and respect and
the best wishes for the future were
conveyed to him with such a sincerity
as to move him to tears. Few men in
the country have received such a del
egation as Mr. Rockefeller was host of ,
and It left him without words , he said ,
to properly express his gratification
and enjoyment and thanks for the
honor done him.
Business Men as Guests.
The oil king's guests were mer
chants , bankers and manufacturers.
For the old men , the friends and for
mer associates In business of Mr.
Rockefeller , and for the young men ,
toward whom Mr. Rockefeller said the
whole world was looking for deeds that
would better civilization , Andrew
Squire spoke the hope that Mr. Rock
efeller would live long In Cleveland
and the world that the people might
profit by his magnanimity and gener
osity toward the educational and Chris
tian Institutions and that Cleveland
might continue to rejoice In the pos
session as citizen of the foremost man
In the world.
Voice Broken by Emotion.
To these words Mr. Rockefeller re
plied In a voice broken by his emo
tions. His eyes slowly filled with
tears and he walked uneasily forward
and backward before the crowd. His
voice came at last , but it was strained
and forced. Ho told an Incident of one
of the first friends he made when he
came to Cleveland , Stillman Kltt , and
how ho offered all his personal money
and property to support the young
man then embarking in the oil busi
ness , while other men of finance re
fused to assist him. From this remin
iscent strain ho come to one of ad
vice.
"Money Not All. "
"Don't think that money is aM there
is In this world , for It Is not , " ho
Bald slowly , and clearly o uinclated his
words. "You linvo other things to
which you mny devote your mind and
some of your attention , things that will
make your last days enjoyable to you ,
days such as I am enjoying now hero
In Cleveland among you , my friends.
For your coming to see mo this day I
thank you , I thank you , I thank you
nil , " and he looked oarnestyl and
somewhat wistfully Into the eyes of
the men about him.
AGAINST CLASS FIGHTS.
Also Deplores Fervor of Fraternities
In Marshalling New Students.
Lincoln NOWH : In his addrcsa to
the university students on co-operation
yesterday at convocation , Chancellor
Andrews delivered a few ulcdgo ham
mer blows at the cra/.o which now
amounts to a delirium among frater
nities to secure now blood.
"This rushing of candidates by the
different fraternities Is a curse , and
must bo stopped. They have become
almost crazy In their rivalry , and I I
| want to auk the co-operation of the
I members of the facility to put a stop
to It.
"It Is not necessary to Join a frator-
nlty , " continued the chancellor with
great earnestness , "to got essential
good out of university llfi > . "
He scouted the Idea that It was nec
essary to join a fraternity as soon OH
the student enrolled , or oven before hoer
or BIO ! set foot off the train. This story ,
was repeated by the drummers of the
fraternities In their craze to land can
didates , hut ho characterized It as a
"campaign lie. "
"If you don't get In , Professor Davis 1
and I will organize a fraternity and let j
you In , " said Mr. Andrews amid laugh-1
tor.
tor.Ho
Ho declared that though he had of
ten spoken before about the matter ,
ho was constrained to again bog that
class quarrels and class fights cease.
Ho said that folllos of this sort were
not permitted at homo , nor did the po
lice department overlook such serious
breaches of the peace , and the univer
sity authorities ought not to overlook
them or consider that It develops the
student to be aggressive. He was
aware that some colleges did not
frown down the closs quarrels and the
class fights , but often serious compli
cations had arisen because of thorn.
"It Is very foolish and very danger
ous and I protest strongly against It
in the future. "
The speaker did not decry class
pride or class energy , but he thought
that it was foolish and inconsistent to
quarrel and fight over matters that
could bo adjusted peaceably with the
exercise of a little common sense and
discretion.
He pleaded for greater co-operation
among all students In every line of
work , and healthful and strength giv
ing athletics. Ho said that many stu
dents are inclined to go about their
work of getting an education betraying
little if any Interest In the great hap
penings that were going on , and which
are proceeding for the bet torment of
the university. lie wanted this class
to take an abiding interest In every
thing that meant advancement and.
success to the state Institution.
Ho asked that property be not de
stroyed as has been done sometimes
In the past. He reminded the students
that it was the property of the state
and they ought to co-operate with the
faculty to prevent vandalism.
Ho stated that some students arc In
clined to take offense over trifles , and
it BOOH becomes easy to criticise. Ho
advised that they lie not so prone to
"oo affronts , real or fancied. He did
not want to deprive thorn of the right ,
to proton ! when there Is a good reason.
Ho asked that students be good to
build up character. Ho wanted each
ino to be mnr" helpful to the other.
He had always been In the habit , when
ho had the tlmo to spare , of walking
about the campus and greeting stu
dents , and so had members of the fac
ulty. The members of the university
themselves ought to see that the
friendly hand Is extended to the new
comers and to the old.
Ho desired the students to bo ration
al at all times and work for the gen
eral good of the Institution.
NOT HEAVY ENOUGH TO KILL
GROWING VEGETATION.
A REMARKABLE CORN GROWTH
Corn In the District That Was Hailed
Out and Where the Seeds Were Replanted -
planted After July 1 , Would Have
Ripened in Two Weeks More.
Jack Frost paid another brief visit
to this section of the country early
yesterday morning and painted a very
thin coatlnp of whiteness over the
leaves of corn and other growing
things. So slight was the coating of
lather spread over the leaves by old
Jack that when Sun , the barber , came
along , there was nothing doing the
whiskers wouldn't come off and no
damage was done.
All ordinary corn that planted In
season , Is far out of danger , and the
only ears affected are those In the
corn that was replanted in the hailed
out districts. This corn , planted be
tween the first and fifth of July , would
have boon safe In another two weeks'I
time. Wllholm nrothors , south of the ,
city , report that they have never in
their lives soon corn grow as rapidly
as did that In the balled district , which
was planted after July 1.
Will Use It For Fodder. '
Hut this rorn , although It was not
"orlmsly Injured by the frost of yes
terday morning , will bo cut up and
used for fodder becruiso they nro afraid
another two weeks will bring frost and
completely ruin It for either corn or
fodder. The weather man this morn
ing , however , predicts rising temper
ature and the sun is growing warmer.

AS COMPARED WITH THOSE OF
OTHER CITIES.
, IT IS 25 CENTS UNIVERSALLY
Sometimes the Cabmen are Forced to
! Drive Four or Five Miles for a Sin.
glc Fare Some Experiences the
Drivers Meet With.
Cubmon moot all sorts and couill
tloiiH of men. A Norfolk cub drlvor
had an experience ( ho other night dial
gave him a now view of human nature.
Ilo didn't know how small men were
In Home cases , ho mild.
Ho was waiting with bin cab at the
Junction station when u ntranger ac
costed him. "I low soon are you going
up town ? " asked the stranger.
"Go up now If you like , " replied the
cabman. |
"How much will you charge mo ? "
"A quarter. "
"Walt till the train , duo In five min
utes , arrives , and I'll give you a half
dollar , " said the fellow , and the cab
man waited.
On the arrival of the train , the
Htranger reappeared and with him two
ladles. He handed a cigar to the driv
er and the three embarked. Once up
town and out of the cab , the stranger
tendered the driver a half dollar and
an extra dime , "for a drink. "
"Hut your bill Is sevcnty-llvo cents , "
protested the drlvor.
"You agreed to como up for a quar
ter , and I gave you a half , " the strang
er argued. Hut finally ho paid the
bill , a I tor much quibbling In the pres
ence of the ladles.
"Aren't you going to carry In theno
grips ? " asked the follow , after the ar
gument was done.
"My liorsoH won't stand , " retorted
the disgusted driver , handing back the
package which the stranger had pri
marily attempted to enforce upon him.
Rates Low Here.
"Cab rates In Norfolk nro the cheap
est there are In the state of Nebraska ,
any way , " remarked another driver ,
who hoard the story. "In Norfolk wo
often go many miles for a quarter ,
while In other places the rates are
fixed according to distance. Hero
there Is but one price It Is universal
ly twenty-five cents.
"Tho other day , for instance , I drove
four miles for seventy-live centH.
From down town I drove to Thirteenth
street , from there to the Junction with
three passengers and a trunk , and
then returned to Main street alone.
The three fares made seventy-live
cents , and I had more than driven
around a section In distance. That
wnt llttlo belter than South Dakota
railroad fare.
She Was Surprised.
"Ono woman whom 1 drove from a
hotel to a residence on the west side ,
was much surprised at our ratps , " ho
continued. "When she reached her
destination , she asked how much she
owed. The price of a quarter nimr/.nd
her. 'Why , In Now York , ' she said ,
'that ride would have cost $1.25 at the
very least. '
Rate Formed Years Ago.
"Tho rate of twenty-five cents was
formed years ago when there was but
one bus In Norfolk- , and a rate once
fixed is difllciilt to raise. It is easier
to reduce rates than to Increase , even
though the Increase be just. "
Today Norfolk's cab system is per
haps the most extensive in the state
outside Lincoln and Omaha. The
great distance and the many trains
have made a big field for the business.
In many cities the cabmen hold
strangers up for exhorbitant rates but
no case of the kind has over been re
ported in Norfolk.
It is usually required by law In cities
that cab rates bo posted In each cab.
Failing to find this , the passenger gen
erally does well to either ask the near
est policeman or railroad official what
the rates are , or to ask the hotel clerk
upon his arrival , before paying the
driver.

Today brought Norfolk another
beautiful fall morning , with a golden
sun , a clear , crisp. Invigorating air
and ozone phiH. Last night was ono
of I hi ; nights that the pools write
about with a sky riH clear and blue na
a picture , and a thousand twinkling
stars standing out llko diamonds in
the background. One is almost forced
to conclude that Kumnior ban returned
and that the season is going toward
the Fourth of July Instead of toward
Christmas. Yet the HUH IH going down
earlier every night and Is coming back
to earth later and later every morning.
Today , perhaps , Is as pretty an au
tumn day as could lie Imagined for any
clime , and Is ono well worth remem
bering.
The special rates to Omaha igid re
turn for the Ak-Sar-lion foHtlvltles
have caused Immense train tralllc
through Norfolk during the past few
days and .ho crowds at Norfolk Junc
tion station are llko circus day mobs
when the trains shoot into this yards
and draw up , sighing , at the platforms.
The moment the big trains have stilled
In their motion and the doors of the
cars are thrown open , there begins a
rush of humanity toward the lunch
counters and the sating houses Unit
is intorosllng to watch. Long atreanm
of black a stream composed of human
beings pressed as tightly together as
is possible begin to pour out from the
cars and to How , with nervous , quick
IIIlo * twists , toward the open doors
of the red hotel. With those black
strings stretching toward the ono focal
point and from each of a doxen car
doors , there is presented a picture of
peculiar tensity and activity. The
stops of the travelers show that all
have a common end In view , and It Is
the aim of each to got in ahead of
everybody else. Young women , alight
ing from the train , bo.in to run

STOCK TRAINS TO MARKET.
Briskness Characterizes the Railroad
Yards of Norfolk.
The following clover picture of the
briskness that characterizes a railroad
! switching yard when a stock train ar
rives , as prlrted in the Lincoln EvenIng -
'
Ing News , tells the story of what Is to
bo seen In the Norfolk yards every
hour In every day and night of the
present rush soason.
"Horo 8ho comes ; get after her ,
boys. "
This Is the familiar cry that Is heard
In the railroad yards when n stock
train Is sighted entering the lead from
the great cattle section of the state.
Railroad olllcials are always proud
of the prompt manner In which cattle ,
hogs and sheep are run out of the
yards nftor the pulling and perspiring
locomotive that brings the consign ,
mont Is cut off and taken to the round
house for a rub down and a food.
I Ixmg before stock trains enter the
yard limits the yard master and his
assistants have been apprised of the
tlmo that the expected trains may ar

along the line Is ( lashed the news of
the dopaauio of a utock train. j

Hogs There Is nothing especially
new In the hog situation. Receipts

from $ f > .10 to ffi.ISO , while packing
grades are Helling from $1.00 to $5.10 ,
all owing to weight , quality and con

The provision market for any op

chased this month Is considerably low
er than present prices and while wo
do not look for very large receipts of
hogs In the near future , wo advise our

general run of hogs IB favorable com

choice hogs are selling better there.
Sheep and lambs The receipts of
sheep and lambs In all markets con
tinue largo but the demand Is good
and prices are steady compared with
last week. Fnt sheep and lambs are
not plentiful and are wanted at strong
prices. The demand for feeders con
tinues good and the outlook favorable
for a good market throughout. We
are liable to get largo receipts occa
sionally during the next few weeks
but wo do not think the supply for the
month will bo at all excessive.
