Thla shows that there Is no decrease In the prlco of the necessities of life. It has just been discovered why the United States did not annex Cuba. Kaiser Wllholm said ho would never have allowed It , Now the secret Is out.

If she talked lout she annoyed the neighbors and If ah kept quiet her mother worried. There is one common ground or which all factions In republican pol tics can meet. Every fellow , no mat tcr whoso sldo ho is on , Is ready t declare that ho Is in absolute accor with President Roosevelt's policies.

The person or society that Is suf- dent unto Itself la Inevitably losing round. In order to do Increasingly ; oed work the members of any so- let y iiitmt keep In touch with other rgaulzatlons. Invaluable ) suggos- Ions are gained by contact with the eat of the world. The common people are not putting heir unbounded faith In the old solid nsuranco companies , as they did a ow years ago. Those Investigations iavo proved that the smaller compa- iles honeatly and conservatively man- gcd , and the fratcrnals , are the most 'ollablo ' In the long run. The latest novelty Is the phonograph ard , made of hard gelatine and con- alnlng records of songs. The next hlng In order for them to get Is a oasonably low priced machine so bat people can afford to own them , .lion postal cards from one's friends : nay bo reproduced In the familiar ralces of those far away. When railway magnates water their stock It Is "high finance" and they ire sent to the United States senate , .lut when a farmer Is mean enough to ivalor lila milk ho Is universally 'de spised for the fraud and the people ilraw the conclusion that If you are olng to bo dishonest , by all means ilo It on the largest possible scale. Lord Hoseberry stands In such awe of American reporters that ho will not visit this country. Ho must have an erroneous Idea about the newspa per fraternity. Prince Henry became quite chummy with them and M. Wltto said that had It not been for the Ideas ho roeclved from them ho never could have made peace as successfully as ho did. Honesty Just plain , simple hones ty la proving the most valuable as- aot a man can have politically. It made Folk governor of Missouri , Dl- ' neon governor of Illinois , and now It la bringing Into national reputation Charles K. Hughes , a Now York lawyer yor who a year ago was unheard of , It will bo a very satisfactory craze | pursuing honesty rather than money Dr. Harper of Chicago university after a desperate struggle lasting aev oral yeara with dlaeaso , is at last sue cnmbing to the inevitable , ire wil ho universally regretted by his coun trymcn. The country can 111 afford to lese so great and broad a man ant one who has been so successful It : building up the great educational in stltutlon of which ho has been the honored head. The longest bridge in the world la the Lion bridge near Sangong , China it extends five and a quarter mllea over an arm of the Yellow aea. It Is supported by 800 huge stone arches the roadway seven feet above the water Is enclosed In an Iron net work It must have required the patience o : the orientals to construct this glan bridge with the mechanical facllltlci In vogiio there. A man must have a strange Idea o what constitutes helping his town when day after day ho calls attcntloi : to the failures that have been mad in It , bewails that It Is not as well lo cated aa some others , and persistent ly argues from a false standpoint that failure only stares a man In the face who dares engage in business In It. This is "standing up for Norfolk" like hell ! Mrs. Hottio Green accounts for her exceeding frugality , especially re garding food , by tolling of her early training In a Quaker school , whore the girls were compelled to eat at the next meal what had been loft on their plates at the previous one. "My Quaker simplicity Is what makes peo- ilo call mo mean , " says Hetty. Most f ua would bo able to overcome thla imrly training somewhat by the time became multl-mllHonalrcs. The United States contains ropro- Rental I V ( < H of more races and follow DI-H of morn religions than nny other country In the world. Yet It Is freer ban nny oilier from nice and roll- glniiH out breaks. The reason that It a possible for HO many different poo- ties with such varying bnllofs to hvell tognlhor amicably la that church mil Htato are aliHolutely separate , so hat entire liberty of conscience and action result. Scnator Clapp of Minnesota , chair- unn of the senate committee on ter-L rllorlcs , haa just returned from a rip of Investigation and Inquiry hrough the Indian Territory and Ok- ahoma. Ho said In an address In ho Indian Territory that the senate vould take final action on the matter luring the next sosalon. The people nvo decided to call their now state Sequoynh. What will become of Ok- ahoma In the shuttle la still undocld- | d. I The advertisement of the annual do-LT Inquont tax sale , which has been run- Ing In The News for the past two veoks , Is the smallest that there has | eon In Mndlson county for many ears. This Indicates that the conn- ry Is prosperous to nn unusual do- rco , and that tax payers have the | nonoy with which to square their ac- ounts. Delinquent taxes draw Inter est at the rate of ton per cent , from ho first of May to the first of No- ember , and a small tax snlo menus hat people have enough cash on hand hat the ten tier cent , is an item worth avlng. McCurdy of Insurance fame believes hat a salary should grow with a bust- ess. Ho started out In 1SS5 with $30n 00 and no ono found nny fault. Next car It was advanced to $50,000 , In | 891 It wont up to $75,000. In 189G vhen the common people wore facing tarvation , Mr. McCurdy went up a top higher and got his $100,000. In 001 ho felt the need of a raise and got $129,000 and the next year ho , ihovcd It up to $150,000. This un- eemly flurry over insurance matters .ylll . probably bo some backset to him l It may bo some time before ho gets $200,000. The Now York Times objects to resident Roosevelt publishing sto ries of hla bear hunts. The honored Times considers It beneath the ofllclal . illgnlty of the president to Indulge : ils literary taste in rehearsing his ad- ventures. Now the truth Is that ono secret of President Roosevelt's power s his many sidedness. The Young American voter is attracted by the adventures of Roosevelt's younger llfo , by his heroic war record and hla love of manly sports. President Roosevelt was not cut ont after the pattern of any previous national ex ecutive nor will ho over bo content to pose as the dignified head of the na tion , but the country haa no occaalon to criticise him for lack of official dig nity when the occasion demands it and can well afford to let him enjoy the privilege of being himself. Ono of the penalties which this country Is now paying for the abund nut prosperity which bountiful crops throughout ' Nebraska and the adja cent states have brought , Is the shortage ago of freight cars which delays mor chnndlso of all kinds. According to their own statements , the transcon tlnentil lines have doubled the num- . her of their freight cars in ten years and Increased the number of locomo fives fifty per cent. Yet with all those additions their rolling stock seems just as Inadequate to handle the present ent traffic as It was In previous years This year the crops are moving early and there Is an enormous demand for manufactured goods brought about by the general prosperity. The railroads are Incapable of caring promptly for the largo grain offerings. Farmers are waiting patiently to get their mon ey out of their cropa and the delay Is hindering local trade. It seema s' | ' though some tlmo the railroads ought to catch up with the country's pros perity. It is rather low down politics for I domopops to revive the story that the Norfolk hospital for the Insane wnsj burned because of republican Ineffi ciency. It Is true that the flro oc curred when a republican superinten i-1 dent was In charge , but It la also true that the destructive feature of the fire was brought about by lack of ade quate water protection , a condition that had existed through democratic aa well as republican administrations from the time the hospital was built. There had been a flro which consumed ono of the buildings while a democrat ic superintendent was In charge , but no ono thought of charging Dr. Kelp- or with incompotency. The popocrata could not see the warning In the burnIng ' - Ing of the small building , and did nothing to remedy the condition dur ing their term in office , but as soon as the republicans again caino Into con trol they ankcd for nn appropriation for flro protection , and the legislature quickly granted It , but before the work could bo completed the flro wiped out the Institution. Material for the stand pipe bad been ordered and a good portion tion of It was on track at Norfolk at the t tlmo of the lire. Thla la a ques tion t that In fairness should never have been raised as a political Issue , because llc cause both parties were negligent aboulp rovldlng flro protection for years. The popocrats had an object lesson I which they did not heed and that II the republicans did as soon as they I had an opportunity , so that the neglect I ! could not bo charged against the republicans oven as much as against the popocrats. THURSDAY TIDINGS. Editor Evans returned from a busi ness trip to Tllden this morning. ' A. J. Dunlovy of Tlldon , formerly manager of the Auditorium , was In the city last night to witness "Tho Prince of Pllsen.

Mr. Rowe has the best wishes of a very largo number of Norfolk friends , who regret - grot his departure from Norfolk. A party of Union Pacific officials arrived In the city last night on a tour of Inspection. They arrived on spe- lal train and ate their supper In their care hero. Among the party were eneral Superintendent W. L Park , Superintendent Charles Ware and As sistant Superintendent W. R. Cayhill.

The metallic clatter of hard coal shooting down the chutes into cellar- ways Is to bo hoard on every hand to day. The snow flakes boomed the coal man's business and made it a busy day. Work on cement sidewalks has boon stopped today by the rain and snow. . Sidewalk men say that this has boon I the ' hardest season ever from their viewpoint . , as rains have frequently Interfered with their work. A largo telephone system la being completed this week in South Dakota and Iowa. It connects South Dakota towna with Sioux Falls , Yankton and Sioux City. The line reaches Bone- steel. It is known as the Missouri river system. Stage hands fell in love with the people who put on "The Prince of Pilsen , " last night. "They were the finest bunch , " said Bill Ferguson , "that over dropped in. There wasn't a word of kicking from them. We had less trouble with them than we have with these little shows carrying seven or eight people. " Mrs. M. Turnoy. arrived In Norfolk last night from Lincoln to assume the duties of matron at the Norfolk hos pital , for the insane. Mrs. Turney was appointed by Governor Mickey after r. hard flght for the place made by a number of well known women in this and other parts of the state. Mrs. Turney this morning began work in her new position at the hospital. A WaUcflold report says : Charles Barto , living near this place , tells of a remarkable experience ho had with a great swarm of mosqultos while coming to town with a load of farm produce a few days ago. A great horde of the voracious creaturea set tled down upon him shortly after he had left homo and attacked him and hla horses with such vigor that ho was forced to put back homo and get some netting for protection. Mrs. Barto wrapped his head and hands as well as she- could and the farmer again started to market. The horses were nearly crazed with the hungry pests and Barto had difficulty In controlling "Ithem , narrowly escaping being upset from a high grade by the animals try ing to run into the tall grass by the roadside. Such an attack by mosqui toes at this time of the year is very unusual , although several complaints ha\o been heard from farmers that the Insects were yet as numerous as they were earlier in the season. The cause of their extreme endurance in splto of recent slight frosts is un ex plainable. . They seem to cling to the wet lands In this county and In the sloughs which have been overflooded all summer. No old settler In this part of the state can recall when the mosquitoes wore so bothersome at so late a date as they appear to bo this year. Horses can with difficulty bo kept In the corn rows where farmers are husking corn and an extra driver is almost necessary to guide- the tor- The Wonderful Growth of Calumet Is duo to Its Perfect Quality and Moderate Price Used In Millions of Homes itured , animals.

At 8:30 : o'clock last evening , In the pleasant homo of the bride's parents , Mr. Max Frederick Asmus of this city , was married to Miss Josephine Hulda Dlckover , daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Dlckover. The ceremony , simple but very pretty , was per formed in the presence of twenty-five members of the families by Rev. W. J. Turner of the Congregational church. The Dlckover homo had been most attractively decorated for the occa sion , flowers and smllax abounding. The predominating colors In the dec orations were pink and white. Be neath a solid arch of green , from which was suspended n white bell , the bridal party stood while the mar riage ceremony was performed. Precisely at the appointed moment the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march , as beautifully rendered by Mr. Ludwlg Koenlgsteln , brother-in-law of the groom , rose from the piano and the bridal party appeared in the par- .lor. Mr. Fritz Asmus , brother of the groom , was best man ; and Miss Hel en Dlckover , sister of the bride , was bridesmaid. The bride was beauti fully gowned In a creation of pink and white silk organdy and carried a huge bouquet of white roses. The bridesmaid was gowned in pink silk mull and were pink roses. Immediately after the ceremony , a delightful four course wedding sup per was served , Miss Llzzto Klentz , Miss Jessie Sturgeon , Miss Roxlo Sturgeon and Miss Mabel Estabrook , all friends of the bride , having charge of the service. The bridal cakes were all baked by the bride's mother and the candles for the occasion were made by Mrs. Warren Dickover. Carnations and roses were used as decorations for the tables. Mr. and Mrs. Asmus will for the present make their homo with Mr. and Mrs. Dlckover. Mrs. Dlckover and daughter , Miss Helen , expect to take a trip soon to California and Mr. and Mrs. Asmus will remain In the homo until after that , at least The bride was the recipient of a number of very handsome glfta from membera of the families and other friends , several good sized checks be ing among the number. Among the out of town guests were Mrs. Breltlngor and Mrs. Koch of West Point and Mr. Ramar of Omaha. A number from West Point and WIs- nor had planned to attend but were prevented at the last moment. There were two rather odd coinci dents in connection with the mar riage. One was the fact that Mr. and Mrs. Ludwlg Koenlgsteln had just the day before attended the marriage of their sister , Miss Metta Koenlgsteln to Dr. R. A. Mlttolstadt , and last night attended the marriage of their broth er , Mr. Asmus. Another was the fact that Mr. Asmus was practically reared In the building which is now the homo of Mr. and Mrs. Dlckover and In which ho was last night wedded. Mr. Asmus has lived all of his llfo in Norfolk and Is well known by nearly everyone in the city. Ho la in the real estate business and has a bright future.
