The Sunday Schools. ,
The festivities roiinnoni'od on Sat
urday evening , the a.lrd. at the Congro
giitlonal , Methodist and Proshytorliiu
churchoH hold their Sunday school ex
orcises on that evening.
The program at the Congregational
church WIIH iinlto lengthy and consist-
oil of songs , music and declamations
by the llttlo people all of which were
a credit to the piirllclpnnlH of the oc
casion. The violin duet by Minn Ma
rlon How and Mr. Hay ICstahrooU de
served especial inontlon and It was
BO heartily rorolvod that the yonug
violinists had to respond to a most
persistent and hearty oncoro. The
ether numbers on the program were
all well rocolvod and ollcltod much
honrty apphuiso.
The Mothodlst Sunday school had
tholr ChrlstmiiH tree and gift giving on
Saturday night , hut tholr program was
given Sunday evening at the usual
Korvlco hour and the llttlo people were
greeted by a largo audience which
showed ospeclal Interest as the num
bers were rendered , and some of the
llttlo ones created conslderahlo amuse
ment with their declamations , several
of them being so small they could
tmroly lisp the lines they had been
taught. The songs "If You Are ( ! oed , "
and "Old St. N'loU , " by two very pretty
llttlo girls , who sang very sweetly ,
were well encored.
The Sunday school exercises at the
Vresbytorlan church were hold on Sat-
nrday night ; and , as In the other
churches , consisted of music , songs
and declamations and the program was
Interesting , as the little folUs always
are perfectly at homo at Christ inns
tlmo , and always elicit applause when
they appear In public. Many received
pretty gifts , and hero , as elsewhere , a
Christmas treat was In store for the
children.
The members of the llaptlst Sunday
school bad a splendid program of ox-
orclsos by the scholars which was fol
lowed by a treat for the school , and
the giving of gifts by the congregation ,
Sunday evening. The program was
good and of considerable length , and
the llttlo people did well In their reci
tations and songs.
The Second Congregational church
In South Norfolk had their Sunday
school exorcises also on Christmas
Kve , and hud a very pretty tree , a San
ta Clans and a splendid program. It
was followed by a treat to the school ,
and a happy lot of young folUs went
liomo under the Impression that Old
St. Nick was a gonomus old saint who
certainly loved the young and old
nllkc.
The exercises at the St. .lohannes
Lutheran church Christmas Eve were
given over to the young folks who en
tertained the audience. A lovely
Christmas tree was a special feature
of the evening , and all the children
were given a treat of toothsome can
dles , nuts and oranges.
Trinity Knlscopal chnrcli held tholr
children's exercises on Christinas Kve ,
and gifts were distributed together
with the usual confections for the lit
tle folks. That church also had an
early Christinas service on Christinas
morning , anil a general service for the
day at 10 o'clock a. in.
The best Christmas tree and exer
cises over held , is the report from St.
Paul's German J nthoran church. A
splendid trout was also given the chil
dren of the congregation and Christ
mas Kve brought happiness to many
little hearts of that assembly.
At the Christ German Lutheran
church the Christmas exercises wore
also held on Sunday evening. The >
had two trees and a delightful treat
for the llttlo people , consisting of can
dles , nuts and oranges , and the audi
ence was entertained with a very en
tertaining program.
Trainmen's Annual Ball.
The Hrotherhood of Hallway Train
men of Elkhorn Imlgo , No. 101. had
their eighteenth animal ball at Mar-
quardt hall last evening , and that It
wns a success goes without reckoning.
The attendance was large , the music
excellent , and the decorations most ap
propriate for the Ynletide season and
typical of railroad lifo of the train
men. The decorations consisted of
festoons of holly with the bright ber
ries shining forth in striking contrast
under the glare of electric HishtH , and
at each window were hiiiif ? trainmen
iiiiieiiiH with rod and white HghtH ar-
aimed In alternate order. It In pleati

At the Oxnard , as usual on festival
days , they had a menu of all kinds of
seasonable viands which would make
an epicurean happy. Although the
menus of either of the hotels were de
serving of a larger patronage. The
Oxnard had a pretty folder of white
brlstol printed In a dellcnto green Ink
with the name of the hotel and the
words "Christmas 11105" on the out
side , and the following tempting menu
on the Inside :

The cafes , restaurants ami boarding
houses all had excellent dinners and
U is hard to bellovu that there was
anyone In this city who did not have
something good to oat on this Christ
mas day of 1005.
Enjoyable P.irlor Meeting.
A very enjoyable parlor mooting was
held at the homo of Mrs. .1. A. llallan-
tyno on the afternoon of December ID.
Some of those who had promised to
lake part wore unavoidably absent ,
hut volunteers so promptly tilled the
program that the dclimiuents were
scarcely missed. There \\as a very
jonoral discussion of points outlined
In the program and many suggestive
thoughts engaged our attention. One
or i\\o of the speakers did nut contlne
themselves closely to their own part
of the subject hut stopped lightly over
the boundary line of their neighbors'
enclosures , but those thus crowded
upon only Mulled and tacked off on
some collateral subject.
Apples raw , cooked and made Into
elder were treated with'inoro or loss
wisdom and some earnestness. The
thoughts I remember most clearly are
that the spring Is the time to prepare
against wormy apples by spraying. So
If wo would avoid wormy social condi
tions , the children must have instruc
tion , aiid bettor yet , example in the
right direction
That elder Is dangerous Is known by
experience and observation. That
there are all kinds and qualities of
apples , the sweet , the sour , the insipid ,
the misshapen , the wormy and the de
cayed. Men ithat is , the whole human
family I are like apples tn this rospect.
That some apples of Inferior quality
llnd a ready market on account of their
looks.
Beauty of more valno than worth.
Then wo dissected the apples and oth
erwise disposed of thorn to the scorn
ing satisfaction of all present.
Anderson-Ransom.

DENIES THAT HE PROMISED THE
DONESTEEU EXTENSION.
DID SAY IT IS INVITING FIELD
And Th.it It la n Strong Possibility
th.it the Rend Will be Extended In
the Near Future Into the Rosebud
Country.
Manager Hldwoll of the Northwest-
I'm any * ho haH been misquoted In ro-
itard ( o the extension of the HoiioMed
line next Reason. | | o IH quoted IIH
making tills statement by the Lincoln
loiirnnl :
"I wan misquoted considerably concerning -
corning the romarkn which I made at
that meeting. What 1 did Hay WI\H the
Hold wan good for the IloncHtool road
lo ho extended nnd that It probably
would bo douo before very long , al
though no dolliillo phuiH have boon
made. "
niKciisstng thlH mailer recently with
Lincoln business men Mr. llldwell mild
that grain men operating on the Hone-
steel line of the Northwestern had laid
plans to erect large elevators at Hone-
steel to care for grain from the Hose-
hud country. They sought his advice
In the matter , and ho pointed out to
thorn the possibility of the Houostool
line being extended Into the wheat
country beyond , which would make the
elevator capacity proposed at Hone-
steel unnecessary. Me did not say
when nor how soon this Is to bo done ,
and In fact made Uoncstcol people no
promise that It would bo done , lie
merely said that It was a strong possi
bility that this road will bo extended
In the future , and he made this state
ment for the guidance of men who
were about to Invest money In a busi
ness that would rely on the end of the
road remaining nt Houesteel.
Nevertheless , In face of Mr. Bid-
well's Interview , there Is every reason
to believe that the road will bo ex
tended next season It is so under
stood about headquarters In Norfolk
and In fact all along the road.
Another Northwestern Extension.
Hartlngton , Nob. , Dec. 21 ! . The pro
posed extension of the Chicago , St.
Paul , Minneapolis and Omaha railroad
from here to Crofton seems now to
bo a certainty. The farmers of the
vicinity of Crofton who undertook to
ralso n bonus of $35,000 for the exten
sion of the road hnvo the money all
subscribed and several railroad men
have been hero the past week. The
blue print for the proposed extension
shows that twenty-three miles of road
will bo built , running In a northwest
erly direction from Hnrtlngton to Crof
ton ,
The road will run through Con
stance , n small Inland town , In this
county.
It Is expected that surveyors will bo
here next week to stake out the route ,
and work will commence early next
summer.
The Railroad Men.
"Nebraska has grown so rapidly , "
says a railroad man , "her rcsourcr-s
have been developed with such sud
denness , that the railroads have not
been able to keep up. Yet 1 think all
will admit that the railroads have
made heroic efforts to march along
with other commercial nnd agricultur
al Interests. "
The Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul
railroad of Montana has been Incor
porated with a capital of $2,000,000.
The incorporators are associated with
the Milwaukee road , K. D. Sewell beIng -
Ing assistant superintendent , P. 11
Scanlan the Montana general agent
mil Mr. Shelton the Montana counsel.
Burton Harrison , general solicitor of
the Milwaukee company , is in Mon
tana to perfect the details.
The cities of Lead , Sturgis nnd Deadwood -
wood are making a strenuous effort to
get the Milwaukee road to extend Its
line from Hapld City through Sturgis ,
Dead wood and Into Lead. Committees
of business men have boon chosen
from the commercial clubs of the
throe cities. These business men met
in Chicago this week to present to the
otllclaln of the road data of freight traf
fic and will show a proposed route for
such an extension. There were about
tewnty business men In the party.
The Casper extension of the North
western now has steel laid for a dis
tance of twenty-seven miles.
Track laying on the Union Pacific
branch out of O'Kallons goes on
though the tracklayers are retarded b >
the graders. About two miles of the
track has been laid. North Platte Trl

An announcement is made from the
executive olllccs of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad that the Issuance of al
forms of free or reduced rate transpor
tatlon will be abolished after Dccem
her 31. next.
The Pennsylvania road has come to
the conclusion that rich men's son
will not make good railroad men , am
that they have to go to the pooro
classes for the right kind. The ofll
slals of the company , therefore , hav
uade a proposal to the school olllclnl
to equip the high school at Altoonii
Pa. , with complete appliances , whoreb
toys can study railroading. The proi
isltlon hns been accepted and th
equipment , which will cost $18.000
.vill bo installed nt onco. Special it
Uructors will bo furnished by the ral
-oad company.
A railroad official states that a move
nent Is on foot to "swear off" the n
'ato habit even before the first of th
'oar. The strong feeling among ral

ABOUT BRIDGE BIDS
Commissioner Harding Makes Clear
Explanation of the Matter.
Mondow drove. Neb. , Dec. 20. To
10 taxpayers of Madison county : It
mild seem from reading an article
hlch recently appeared In the Mudl-
in Chronicle that the county hoard
light be prejudiced when It comes to
oiling the contract for bridge work ,
'he statutes provide that bridge work
tall be lot by contract. The board
dvertlsed for bids. It did not bar
ny ono , and If any contractor uccom-
tanleil his hid with a box of cigars
did not see any , so that must ho falso.
ur contract price for wood work any
ongth complete for 11)05 ) Is $ -l.tr : >
or'lineal foot , so you see It requires
0 expert to figure that. The question
rises how can the contractor afford
1 do I ho work for so small a figure ?
'or the simple reason that ho builds
irldgos In about half the counties in
le state or half the states In the
nlon. If ho makes a profit , say of
fiOO In ono county , yon see they are
taking a pretty good thing , whereas
mt amount divided among our dim-
ler dealers would be very small. The
ix pa > ors get the benefit of this ar-
ingomont.
In IHOI the lumber dealers of Madl-
on county charged $17 ! and $30 a
loiisand for bridge lumber. Our con-
actor furnishes bridge lumber for
1G ! and $1S ! per thousand this year and
ur homo dealers say lumber has
lined $ 00 per thousand.
Wo have done more bridge and re-
air work this year than in any one
ear , and with a ten mill levy this
ear wo have been able to meet nil
ur obligations. My Intention is to
ork for the best Interest of the tax
ayers of Madison county , and when-
ver a bid for any contract or claim
omos before the board that I think Is
ot just , 1 am ready to reject it , re-
ardless of friends or party.
John II. Harding ,
County Commissioner.

PHILIP JAMES NOW ON TRIAL IN
OACRAMENTO.
IT LOOKS LIKE A CONVICTION
Story of the Shooting of John Lodge
Is Told by an Eye Witness to the
Tragedy Last September at the acs
Track.
The trlnl of I'hlllp .lames who shot
down .lolin Lodge at a race track in
Sacramento , Calif. , on September 9
last , Is progressing in Sacramento and
Ihoro seems not a possibility of doubt
that the defendant will bo convlct'-d ,
The Sacramento Union of recent date
gives the following account of the
trial :
The trial of Philip .lames for the
murder of .lolin Lodge wns hognn be
fore a jury in .ludgo Hart's court yes
terday and rapid strides were taken.
The work of securing n jury to try the
case was not as hard n task as Is usual
In such cases , and at 2 o'clock In the
afternoon the box was full. The men
selected to try .lames are David Jenkins -
kins , J. M. Henderson , Joseph llussi-ll.
Amos Anger , YV. K. Crlmshaw , John
f. Paterson , ( ! . J. Whoadon , H. A.
Merkloy , A. J. Tofft , H. K. Wlllard , M.
M Prow , John K. Drcmnn.
James Is charged with having shot
mil killed Lodge In the betting ring
it the state fair grounds the Oth day
of last September.
After the physician who conducted
the autopsy on the remains of Lodge
had testllled regarding the nature ot
the wound , mid that It caused death ,
the prosecution called Harry J. dray
to the stand. Mr dray had witnessed
the shooting. Ho testllled that there
had been no dlllleulty between Lodge
and James prior to the shooting. Ho
saw. Juntos walk up to the bar and ask
John Norton for his revolver. Norton
hesitated and 'alii that he ought not
to give the weapon to .lames , but he
Dually handed It over , and James start
ed out of the paddock holding the gun
In his hand and down by his side. The
witness followed James out to the
paddock and told him he ought to put
the gun away. James told him it was
none of hts business and tint he would
bettor get out of the way. Ho took
the hint and walked back Into the in-
closure and James followed
The witness said that Lodge was
standing by the bar and when James
walked hack In with the revolver in
his hand I oduc stormed ( > vor to him
and told him to put the gun up , that
ho ( Jaiiiesi iiui n anui 10 - . IDI.I .11..i
body.
James ' fed l odi'c ' ! ii'i1"1 ' and
said to him : "Maybe you want Bourn
of It ? " nnd as Lodge backed awny
James followed him. Finally I/nlge.
reached out and jHulzod James by the
arms James twisted his arms around
until ho got the gun against Lodge's
stomnch and then fired. 1/xlgo fell n
few moments later nnd died.
The witness said that the crowd
used James pretty roughly , beating
him up considerably about the head.
The district attorney produced a
maga/lne belonging to an automatic
revolver and the witness Identified It
as one ho had taken front J'inies a few
minutes after the shooting.
Cross-examined , the witness on Id
that when James demanded the re
volver from Norton and Norton hesi I
tated to give U to him , he remarked
that If It was not given up ho would
go nnd get a shotgun and spoil the
whole game.
A second witness was called who
corroborated the testimony of dray
regarding the shooting , after which
a recess was taken until 10 o'clock
this morning.
The prosecution has not been able to
locate the revolver with which it Is
alleged James did the shooting. The
nearest they have como to It is to
produce the magax.lno that belonged to
an automatic revolver such ns James
Is s'lld to have had. H Is whispered
that there Is a history attached to the
disappearance of the weapon , but it
seems certain now that the prosecution
will not ho able to produce it.
It Is rumored that the defense of ,
James will ho that ho had no intention
if shooting Lodge , but that when
Lodge selx.ed his hands the gun was
'ccldontally discharged.
