burned small quantities of It In his

for the Third district. Chris. Scliav-
land as treasurer and Frank Peterson 1
as deputy remain the same , as does
also Judge Bates county judge and ,1.
.1. Clements sheriff. W. 11. Field was

of the clerk of the district court re
main without a change. Commission

tlmo and while he has enjoyed the
work of county commissioner , ho says
he is glad to again become a private

The Durland Trust company have
added to their olllce equipment a most
complete addressing outfit with which
to handle their mailing list. It con
tains several endless chains which
pass over n cylinder , in each Hat link
of the chain there is room for threi-
rown of movable rubber typo which
form the address. At the proper time
this name on the link which passes a
pad and secures ink , comes to the sur
face and the envelope or card Is
pressed down upon it with a treadle
lever , and the address Is printed there
on. The release of the lever and re
moval of the card or envelope , brings
another name into position ready to
address another surface. The young
lady , who carries the title of "cine
printer , " can easily run the niachlm
to make fifty addresses each ininnu.
and will probably do better as she be
comes more experienced.
Printers' strikes do raise Ned. The >
extend In their effect beyond the bottlers
tlers of the cities In which they tak
place. The effect , for instance , e
the Des Molnes strike was felt In Nor
folk today. W. N. Huse , puhllshc
and editor of The News , left yesti"
day for a trip to Excelsior Spring
Mo. , and old Mexico , for the benefit o
his health. The office force was m ,
turally loft short by this. And tins-
morning a letter that came through
the postofllce Informed the olllco that
W. C. Van Kandt , a local reporter who
had been employed for several wei'K.s
had decided to return to Des Molm
where , as a printer , his job bad bee' '
reopened by the winning of the stnl
on the union printers' side. The t-
feet of this strike In Des Molnes wil
no doubt be shown In The News. 1m
the paper will bo printed twice n da
and with the biggest circulation know i
to any paper In n town twice the si-
of Norfolk , for all that.
"There has been considerable knot1' '
Ing on the county commissioners In
illegod negligence In regard to t1 <
Donby road between Norfolk and IVr
Ho Creek , at the point where the rlvn
oats off much land each year , " said ,
farmer fron tint section today , "lm. .
I wnn't to put In n good word for t > i <
county commissioners , who have don-
ill that anyone could do and who art
acting foe. the very best Interests o
Madison county In the matter. Tin
commissioners have tried by everj
moaiiH possible to buy enough land of
Mr. Denhy to make the rend right but
ho asks $75 per aero for It and they
can't afford to pay that for four or :
live acres. Even If they did buy It ,
the river channel shoots straight Into
the bank and eats off much each year
so that the bridge Is apt to bo loft
high and dry any spring , and the cost
to the county would bo $400 or $500
every year. The road Is now closed
because the land can't bo bought rea
sonably , and the county commission
ers tire to bo praised irthur than
blamed. " It is now necessary to go
ono mile south of this spot.
Unite Ga/elto : The saddest occur
rence of the holiday season that has
come to our notice Is the drowning of
the lllllo two-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. f'has Hoergor. living near Baker.
II seems that Mrs. Hoergor and Mrs.
Doty are sisters and that Mrs. Hoergor
and the llttlo son were spending a
portion of the holiday season at the
Doty home near Mills. In Keya Palm
county , when In some manner the lit
tle fellow got out unknown to the old
er pcoplo. Immediately hoas missed
search was Instituted for him and bis
little tracks were discovered leading
to a large hole which had been cut In
the Ice of the Keya Paha river for
wntor purposes within a few yards of
the Doty home. Alarm was sent out
by lolophono and In a very short time
many men and women assembled on
Ibo river bank willing and anxious to
lend assistance. The llttlo body was
finally found under the Ice of Ibo river
wnero it nan united with llio current.
The father was sent for and the dis
tracted relatives brought the little
corpse to Butte where It was prepared
I for burial. Funeral services took
| place from the M. E. church , at 1
o'clock today , Hev. Horton ofllclatlng.
Interment was made In Bnttc ceme
tery. The sorrowing parents have the
universal sympathy of the entire com
munity.
New Show Windows.
The new store opened up their hand
some show windows today and they
certainly are attractive. Handsome
show windows attract attention every
where and assist to make a city beau
tiful as well as draw trade to the
store , and Anthes & Smith are artists
in the work.
Mrs. Craft Will Build.
Mrs Robert Craft of the Junction is

WORKED IN SHIRT SLEEVES
The New Tunnel , Leading From West
Wing to Main Tunnel , Is Progressing
Rapidly Roof All Ready to Put on.
Worth Popular.
( From TilL-silny'n Dnltv.l
Work on the reconstruction of the
west wing nt the hospital for the In-
mine was stopped yesterday by the
Intensely cold wave that swept over
this section of the country , but now
that things are warming up again. It
Is not at all Improbable that the work !
will progress Immediately. Contract ,
or Worth Is pushing the work as rapIdly -
Idly as is possible and there Is every
prospect that the now wing will he
re.idy for occupancy on contract tlmo ,
next June.
Already sixty-live feet of tunnel
work , on the tunnel which Is eight feet
*
deep by live broad , ban been complet ,
ed. There Is about 200 feet yet to ho
finished on this tunnel , which leads
from the new west wing to the main
tunnel connecting Hie kitchen with the
cottages and the administration build-
Ing.
In Shirt Sleeves at New Year's.
A phenomenal record was made by
the workmen , carpenters and masons ,
between Christmas and New Years
this year. In spite of the fact that
this Is the coldest season of the year ,
the workmen all worked out of doors
all day long In their shirt sleeves , just
as though It had been a sweltering
season In July , and they found that
they were not at all uncomfortably
cool.
Already the superstructure on the
liny window in the now wing Is up to
grade and ready for stone work. The
dining room work has also gone to
this point.
Tin1 work on the wing amounts to
reducing the big building one story in
height , and In Installing a big bay win
dow , a dining room , tunnel and the
like. It will hold about 120 people
when completed. Contractor Worth I
is very popular with his thirty men ,
as be hires Norfolk help exclusively
where possible and does not send away
from this city until ho is forced to by
lack of other workmen.
The construction on the new wing
will , it is said , bo much superior to
that in the old building.

Dr. Alden said yesterday : "Work
on the new wing was stopped on ac
