The Warren Refining Company , an
Oil Concern , Proposes to Contes
the Trade With the Standard , on the
Strength of Norfolk Rates.
A quiet Investigation Is going 01
among a lot of people Into the merits
of Norfolk as a distributing point , am
results may bo looked for In the near

ron Refining company of Warren , 111.
wna here the other day looking up the
advantages of working out of Nor
folk. Last year this firm came Into
thin territory and distributed a ca
of lubricating oil from here , and the >
figure that with the now rate out o
Norfolk they can easily handle thrci
oars from hero next spring , and per
baps moro. This firm expressed Itsol
very much pleased with the success o
the Commercial club In securing a
rate that puts Norfolk on a par wltl
Omaha as a distributing point. Th
representative stated to Messrs
Blakoman & Coleman , who trnnsferrc
! tholr products last spring and wll
again next spring , that ho could se <
j no reason why his company would no
put In a warehouse hero In tlio nea
future. North Nebraska has alway
been considered Standard Oil coun
try on lubricating as well ns Illumlnnl
Ing oils , the shipments all being mad
from Omaha , hut If an Indopenden
'company ' can distribute from Norfoll
certainly the Standard people can wel
afford to and perhaps will 1m force
to put In a barreling station. If the
want to hold the trade of North No

A representative of the Acorn Stov
company was In the city Snttmlav an
ho was very much pleased with the

LINCOLN ASYLUM FEVER SWEPT
Bad Condition of Hospital From Over
crowding Institution.
It Is apparent that the state of Ne
braska needs mo'ro room at the Nor
folk Insane hospital , as the overcrowd'
cd condition at Lincoln has caused n
typhoid epidemic. Twenty-three are
at present down with the disease.
i\mong those 111 IB Dr Young , former
ly physician at the Norfolk hospital.

Eighteen patients at the Lincoln
hospital for the Insane , four nurses
and Pathologist George A. Young are

board of public lands and buildings
this morning Superintendent Grcono
of the asylum was glvon unlimited
authority to act.
Tlio llrst case appeared last Mon
day , and others have fallen 111 In quick
siiepoHHlon. AH yet the authorities
huvo boon unahlo to determine the
oxaet cause. Thorough Investigation
has boon made of the water and of
the milk supply for the Institution and
both have proven undoubtedly pure.
The only other method of Infection Is
thought to bo the carrying of typhoid
gorniH from Infected districts by flics
and other Insects. Every effort Is be
ing mndo to chock the epidemic and
it Is hoped to have It soon under con

NORTHWESTERN RAILROAD APPOINTMENTS
POINTMENTS BEGAN TODAY.
C. F. KING ALSO PROMOTED
Norfolk Man Is Made General Road-
master for This Division New Di
vision Created From Chadron to
Casper , With Cnntllllon Sup't.
Now Northwestern railroad appoint
ments became effective today and Nor
folk Is materially affected by the
changes. Frank Walters , formerly di
vision superintendent at Sioux City
becomes assistant general superinten
dent for this division and his head
quarters will bo at Norfolk. Superin
tendent Reynolds went to Omaha yes
terday to meet Mr. Walters and to ac
company him on a trip of Inspection
ever the entire division this week.
C. F. King , formerly In charge of
the bridge construction work , has
been promoted to tlio position of general
oral roadmastor for the Nebraska &
Wyoming division with headquarters
at Norfolk.
New Division.
The following bulletin Is from the
offlco of General Manager George F.
Bid well at Omaha :
"J. P. Cantllllon Is appointed super
intendent of the company's lines with
headquarters at Casper , Wyoming. "
It Is understood that Mr. Cantllllon
will have charge of the line from
Clmdron to Casper and of the now
line from Casper to Lander. Superin
tendent Harmon will have charge of
the line between Long Pine and Chad
ron and between Plcrro and Rapid
City.
Mr. Hughes Stays Here.
It had boon rumored In Omaha and
Lincoln that C. C. Hughes , general
superintendent , would be transferred
from Norfolk to Omaha but there Is
nothing to Indicate such a change and
the minor is denied In Norfolk. The
following clipping from the State
Journal shows the rumor and other
pro-appointment talk :
Lincoln Journal : The building of
the line west of Casper and the line
from Plerro to Rapid City , and the
appointment of an assistant to Gener
al Superintendent Hughes of the Ne
braska & Wyoming division of the
Northwestern , with the taxing of the
facilities of tlio road by the great
amount of traffic now being handled
will bo followed , It Is said , by a change
of districts formed for operating pur
poses. In fact these changes may bo
made In the near future. It Is said
that another district superintendent
will bo appointed and that Superinten
dent Harmon at Chadron will lose
that part of his district between Clmd
ron and Casper , but that ho will gain
the now line from Rapid City to ;
Plerro , which will bo placed under
Manager fiidwoll's charge. These
things have not been officially aiv
Sjnounccd , but they are believed by n
great many Northwestern men.
For the operating district to be
made up of the Casper line from Chad
ron to Casper , 192 miles , and froir
Casper to Lander ICO miles , a new su
perlntondent will bo appointed. A
gentleman named Cantllllon , snld tc
> o a brother of W. D. Cantllllon , Is
mentioned for the place.
It Is not known whether the chang
les In contemplation will affect the
South Platte or the eastern districts
:
| of the road. Some bollovo that It wll
| result In General Superintended
Hughes removing his headquarter
sfrom Norfolk to Omaha , and a rumoi
to that effect Is current In Omaha.
It is believed that the ten miles be
twccn Fremont and Arlington will hi
, double tracked this fall or winter , us
' business over this narrow neck of
railroad Is so heavy now that It Is tin
next thing to Impossible to get tralm
i over It. It Is denied that the line fron
Missouri Valley to Fremont will 1,0

llngton and Missouri Valley the roa <
now has a double track , one line vli
Omaha and the other via Blair. Wltl
a double track between Arlington am

J The company Is now handling i
eheavy run of stock from the northwes

rwhich Is expected to reach Its clima :

been heavier this fall than usual.
A CROWDED HOUSE GREETED
NORFOLK ENTERTAINMENT.
THE NET PROCEEDS WERE $97.15
The Local Talent Entertainment at
the Auditorium Last Night Was Pa-
tronlzcd by a Flatteringly Large
House * and the House Applauded.
Norfolk people did nobly In their at
tendance Friday at the local talent
entertainment given under the aus
pices of the Ladles Guild of Trinity
. church , and the Auditorium was
packed with ono of the biggest houses
that haH been known In the history
of the theater. And the audience was
so liberal with Its applause and appreciation
preciation that the managers of the
entertainment felt Justified In complimenting
menting every Individual member of
the company. The guild committee
will net $97.15 as the result of their
venture.
Credit for the entertainment Is duo
Mrs. Dolseti and Mrs. Maylard , who
composed the committee which under
took and carried out the plan.
It was precisely 8:30 : o'clock when
the curtain was rung up on the first
number , a chorus by tlio entire com
pany , which had been preceded by a
- pretty orchestra overture. Tlio openIng -
Ing chorus was a medley.
The second number on tlio program ,
a fancy drill glvon by sixteen stun
ning llttlo girls , was one of the lilts
of the evening and the tiny tots , so
- graceful and so becomingly gowned ,
were called back and applauded again
and again for their cute work.
Miss Lola Llntecum very cleverly
gave a dialect reading which was well
received by the house. Miss Llntocum
Is an exceedingly able elocutionist
and her work , graceful and consistent ,
, bespeaks high art.
Next came a tramp specialty by
Charles Gerecko , which brought down
the bouse. , Garbed In the ragged
robes of a Weary Wanderer , with red
nose and torn slouch hat , Mr. Gerecko
was a most excellent character and
his songs , bright and well sung , took
so well with the audience that ho was
brought back for more.
- Ono of the very best numbers of
the whole program , and ono which de
lighted every alulitor In the vast the
ater , was the "Oporatta Song , " In
which J. B. Maylard , Fritz Asmus ,
May Durland and Madame Pattl par
ticipated. Mr. Mnylard , as master of
the king's "naveo" and dressed as
such with high silk hat and cravat to
match , had advertised for singers.
And ho drew a mixed up hand. First
came the American girl , Miss May
Durland , who sweetly sang for the
master and won his admiration.
Shortly after entered the "Flying
Dutchman , " ( Mr. Asmus ) with red.
fat fnco and a black chin beard , huge
wooden shoes , and the coat of a com
odlan. Ho sang , "Oh Where , Oh
Where Is My Llttlo Dog Gone ? " In
such a comical way that the house
laughed till Its sides shook , though
the king's master didn't like the Idea.
Madame Pattl closely followed the
Dutchman. She was garbed as nn
Irish maid and sang , "My Father and
Mother Were Irish , " until she was
green In the faco. She was clover ,
too. And Just ns the master began to
sing his replies to tholr requests , each
ono of the three musical applicants
began his or her character song. The
four of them , each singing a dlfforenl
tune and song , sang their way clear
down deep Into the hearts of their
hearers and the rafters of the play
house rang with the applause.
, A pretty llttlo duet was given by
Harry Dignan and Edith Vail , two llt
tlo people who took the roles of an
old , old man and his old , old mate.
Their voices were sweet and clear ,
tholr acting was cunning and they
iwero called back for an encore.
After a Rlley reading by N. A. Huso
the first part of the program ended In
a solo and chorus given by Graham
Humphrey and six young ladles Mar -
r rlo Tracy , Edith Stear , Vera Trout-
man , Lily Marquardt , Josephine Tap-
pert and Corrlno Saunders. This was
another ten-strike. Graham Hum
phrey , In stunning black doublobreast-
ed coat and Immaculate white duck
trousers , with a very late hat and a
brilliantly colored band about It , took
the role of the young society swell
who falls In love with every girl he
moots. And the six girls , all In white
and with mammoth , effective white
hats , were worth falling In love with ,
. too. First ho fell In love with Polly ,
till Bessie came to town ; then dropped
them both for Dolly , etc. , through the
entire line until ho reached Ophelia ,
who was the "best of all. " The Idea
! of the thing was unique and the ex-
ecutlon was rich. The stunt made a
great tear with the audience and Gra-
c. bam and bis six girls had to come
back and do It all ever again ,
The second part of the play was
given over to a farce , entitled , "Thlr-
10 ty Minutes for Refreshments. " The
part of Joe Downloy , a bachelor , was
taken by N. A. Huso. W. F. Hall as
"Clarence Fltts , His Colored Servant , "
r. was a star actor and made good with
the audience from start to finish. His
jokes , many of which were original ,
wore decidedly funny and kept the
house In uproar.
eJohn Foxton , a Young Married Man ,
as taken by Charles Gerecko was
a clever. Mr. Gerecko took well the
difficult part of a newly married man
and was at perfect ease throughout.
Fritz Asmiis as "Major Popper , U.
U. A. , " garbed In an officer's uniform
and I with black beard and black mous
tache I , made the sort of nn officer that
women fall In lore with. Ho was
stern I In the protection of his "elderly
sister. I "
(
Miss Lola Llntecum took the role
of Mrs. Foxton , the brldo , and was ,
J
of course , very clever throughout , doIng -
Ing the blushing act as It should bo
done and screaming when she ought
to scream In a voice that almost
frightened the bachelor. She was
very good.
Ono of the best characters In the
ilny was that of Miss Arabella Pop-
icr , the elderly sister of the major ,
s takpn by Miss Ethel Hartley. Her
nnko-up was simply rich "the limit , "
n fact with a great plumcy hat ,
led with long red ribbons , and with
ono of the old fashioned lace shawls ,
ace mitts and a gown that would
mvo been a winner baclc In the sev
enties . Miss Hartley's expression of
'aco and gesture were done with a
rare art and she won a homo with the
audience.
Polly , a waiting maid , as done by
Miss May Durland was also a star
mrt. Miss Durland was gowned In
ho neat white of a waiter , her acting
was of a high order and every possl-
) lo feature was w'oll brought out In
a difficult rolo. She was the first to
appear , and she made a hit with the
1011SO.
The story of the farce was simple.
The bachelor dngaged a room at a
lotol. Wives and sisters , by mistake ,
ot into his room and kept him In
liot water because ho couldn't get din
ner.
