NORFOLK DELEGATES TO OMAHA

PLEASANT TIME ; NEW IDEAS
A Number of Resolutions Were Passed

speeches , one at the banquet on "Tho

> thor , spontaneously , at a luncheon
given Wednesday noon. Norfolk was
s well ropieseuted at the meeting as
my other club In tbo state. Tbo del
egates report a very pleasant time ,
say that ( bey learned many now things

Among other things , tbo clubs
mssod resolutions against parcels

asses to anyone excepting railway
mployes , against the postal savings
bank and for acent faro.
They also tried to pass a resolution

Sewer at Albion.
Albion News : At the request of u
number of elll/ons , Mayor Graham
called a citizens' mass meeting at the
court house , last Friday evening , for
the purpose of discussing the sewer
proposition , and to llnd out if the pub
lic sentiment was In favor of the city
council going ahead In the construc
tion of a sewer the coming season.
There was a goodly number of repre
sentative citizens present , and there
was not a single dissenting voice to
tbo plan of putting In a sewerage sys
tem this season. The necessity IB
acknowledged by all and our ability
Is admitted , so that the only point to
decide Is that wo will. This meeting
decided it so far as It could by passIng -
Ing a resolution requesting the city
council to proceed in the matter. It
was tbo general opinion at the moot
ing that It would bo necessary to vote
bonds for n sewer system , but Investi
gation since leads to the belief that
it will not bo necessary. Whichever
plan Isadopted , , it seems to bo appar
ent tluA the people are in a mood to
endorse it and back up the city au
thorities In prompt action.
If yon bavo experienced "many a
slip 'twlxt the cup and the lip , " and
have had enough of such casualties ,
Insure against them , in your minor af
fairs , by rending the want ads .
"Idleness Is tbo holiday of fools , "

NATIONAL LIVE STOCK COMMIS
SION CO.
View of the Live Stock Markets at
South Omaha , Neb. , C. A. Mai-
lory , Mgr.
South Omaha , Feb. 22. This market
has stood tbo test of liberal receipts
of cattle this week and has behaved
well throughout.
The demand for fat cattle and feed
era of good quality continues strong
at the best prices of the season , whllo
the other grades Including butchers
stock ruled 10 to 20c lower than the
high time , but wo si 111 have confidence
In the market for desirable grades.
From our reports already In wo
think tbo supply of cattle on feed In
Nebraska and western Iowa Is consid
erably less than one year ago ami al
though there are more bay fed cattle
than last year wo look for higher pric
es later all around.
Don't hesitate to write us for any
special Information you need regard
Ing any part of this business.
We again suggest that any of our
readers who want stock or feeding
cattle should place their orders with
us without delay.
Hogs. The demand for hogs kept
puce with the supply until prices
passed I he ( ic mark all around.
As usual after such a continuous ad
vance and In sympathy with n weak
ening In ( he provision market wo note
a renctlon of 10 to 15o In the bog mar
ket compared with the high time
which was on Monday.
The quality of the hogs continues
good but the average weight Is lighter
causing a wider range In prices with
light and common hogs selling at a
lair discount and we advise our read
ers to operate accordingly.
We still have confidence In the mar
ket especially for heavy bogs , but
present prices are good and packers
will work harder than ever to prevent
further advances.
The Omaha market has not kept uj
with eastern or southern markets 01
this advance but will doubtless go
In line again but not until the receipts
are lighter , and as the "National" Is
equally well , "llxed" in jiill of the
markets , we are in position to give
unselllsh and reliable advices and i
.service that produces the best results
The bulk of the bogs are selling a
$ "i.8Ii to $5.ii ! [ with favorable pros
peels for good bogs the balance of the
week.
Watch the provision market am
ship bogs fast as they are ready to tbo
market that looks best to yon at tbo
time you make shipments.
Sheep and Iamb feeders have bai
such easy times figuring profits dur
Ing the past two years that they are
becoming over confident and are no
using the good judgment in marketing
their stuff that has characterized thel
shipping In other times. This Is jus
as Important feature of the busines
as the feeding Itself and should hav
the same careful attention. If feeder
do not got In closer touch with th
markets and use bettor judgment ii
their shipping they will realize to <
late that they should have kept In
closer touch with this end of the sit
nation , and it will bo another case o
locking tbo barn doors after tbo hors
es have been stolon.
Receipts this week have been heav
at all markets and the quality poore
than over before at this time of th
year. Feeders have bought the bnl
of the stuff and will continue to bn
more. Hut the packers want good fa
sheep and lambs and If you want unit
ton prices you must sort your stuf
closely and ship only tbo good ones
There were no more sheep and lamb
fed this season than a year ago ye
so far this year total receipts at al
markets are fully 25.000 ; ! more tha
a year ago. Ijist year fully 10 pe
cent of tbo second feeding was bough
on the range juid only figured In th
receipts once , this year , fully 95 pe
cent of tbo second feeding will b
bought on tlio markets. Taking thl
Into consideration , the number o
sheep and lambs slaughtered so fa
this year Is not as many as last.
Host lambs are selling from ? C. 10 t
$0.00 , yearlings $5.50 to $5.75. wether
$5.40 to $5.50 , ewes $1.50 to $5.00. W
look for lighter receipts tbo Imlanc
of this week and the first of next am
expect to see a little reaction In va
uos for strictly good stuff.

NEW TURN IN KADEN CASE.
t Is Said That Hosklns Homesteader
on Rosebud Was Blackmailed.

Ictlm of alleged nharporn , who are
aid to bo operating In the RoHobud
ountry , and who attempted to din
IOSHCSS him of bin land upon bin re-
UHiil to pay them "blood" money , says
i Sioux Falln report.
It will be remembered that following
lie finding of Kadon's body It wan bo-
eved for a ( line thai ho had boon mur-
orod. Then It was learned that with
omo friends ho had , purely for a prac-
leal joke , taken the team of an Assy-
Ian peddler named Isaac Syfo , who ,
vhun ho discovered Iho nature of the
eke ( hat Kadcn and bin friends had

Caden arrested on the charge of grand
arcony. Upon this theory It was then
lellovcd Dial Kaden , In a spirit of re-
lorse , bad ended his life by jumping
nto tbo well.
Hut these who bcllovo ho had been
lurdoied pressed tholr bellof so per-
Kle.nlly that Iho authorities of Ore-
ory county , a week or two ago had
yfo arrested on tbo cbargo of having
iiirderod Kaden. The preliminary
xamlnallon of Syfo was very ex-
anstlvo and hundreds of persons
ere present during tbo day or two
uit the hearing lasted. No criminal
aso since the opening to settlement
f the coded portion of the Rosebud
enervation attracted so much niton-
on.

Hut Syfo.vns able to show thai head
ad not boon responsible for the death
f Kaden , and Iho authorities wore un-
bio to present any conclusive evi-
once that ho was guilty of the serious
rlmo charged against him. Tbo result
vns that Iho case agalnsl Syfo was
Ismlsscd and ho was released from
uslody.
Since Hint lime a man named Stiles
Jnddlo , who went to the Rosebud conn-
ry from Oklahomo , has Instituted n
ontcst agalnsl the homestead entry
f Iho dead man Polor Knden. Ho
eeks to have the entry canceled hy
ho United Slates government on tbo
ground thai Kaden entered tbo land
nirely for speculative purposes.
This action has given rlso to an In-
creating crop of rumors , which Kn-
lon's friends say will , at the proper
Imo , bo able to prove are hard , cold
'acts. The commencement of tbo con-
est proceedings against the entry of
ho dead man caused a genuine sensa-
Ion and aroused so much feeling that
scores of the Rosebud settlers swear
hey will make up a purse to be used
n making a defense In the case in
ho interest of the heirs of Kaden.
Friends of Kaden's who claim to bo
familiar with the circumstances in the
case state that for some lltllo time
irior to Hie Irnglc death of Kaden
certain persons bad been endeavoring
to defraud him out of his homestead.
ind on one occasion , after gelling him
ntoxlcatcd , Induced 111 in to sign n
contracl for Iho sale of his homestead
For the homesteader to sign biich a
contracl tluows a cloud on bis gooi
faith In making Iho entry and wouh
furnish a good foundation upon which
to base contest proceedings. In Iho
contract signed by Kiulon he agreei
to transfer his claim to a certain part >
as soon as he mndo final proof on bis
entry. The consideration sllpulalei
In Iho contract was a horse and a
jackass.
It Is further staled In Iho conlrnc
Unit the party to whom Kadon was to
Iransfor bis land should furnish tliu
necessary funds for Kaden to innKo
final proof and cnablo him to pay the
government price per aero for the lam
Included In his homestead. The con
tract further provided that the loan
of Iho funds for final proof purposes
should bo secured by a mortgage 01
the horse and jackass.
Tlio friends of Kaden declare tha
when tbo proper time comes they wil
bo able to show thai as soon as Kadon
became sober ho went to certain of his
neighbors and explained the detail
of the transaclion lo thorn. Ho Is al
leged to have told just how ho hai
been "worked. "
They advised him to fight the cnso
Kaden already had sent In his appllca
lion to make final proof , but aflc
realizing what ho had done with reference
once to the signing of the contrac
while intoxicated ho immediately with
drew his application , believing that I
ho did not make final proof the parlie
in possession of the contract could no
cause him any trouble.
Not lo ho beaten , however , by thl
move on the part of Kaden , It is nl
logod Iho holders of Iho contract wen
to Kaden and threatened that thoj
would institute contest proceeding
against his homestead entry on In
ground of speculation. The most ser
ions feature of the charge agains
them Is thai they offered , it is alleged
to abandon the contemplated contcs
proceedings if bo ( Knden ) would pa
thorn the sum of $2,500.
Kaden's friends further declare thn
they will bo able to show thai th
case Is ono of attempted blackmail am
that they will nol resl satisfied nnt
they make every effort to have tb
alleged guilty parties prosecuted an
punished by being sentenced to term
in the Sioux Falls penitentiary.
Whether or not Mr. Gaddlo was In
plicated in prevailing upon Kaden t
sign the contract , tbo friends of Kade
nro not prepared nt Ibis lime lo slate ,
but it is known that Gadrtle expects to
produce the contract at the hearing in
the contesl proceedings before Iho of
ficials of the Unlled Slales land office
and thus attempt to prove the charge
of speculation made by the contestant.

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH IN ICE
HOUSES TO RUN SUMMER.
MAY HAVE TO SHIP SOME IN
ce Men In Norfolk Hope That There
May be Another Cold Wave Within
a Few Days , When a Little More
Ice Will be Cut.
[ From Wednesday's Unlly. ]
If a slight cold snap would como up
his week , as the Ice men hope It may ,
Norfolk will have nearly a normal sup-
) ly of Ice lo run through the summer ,
nsl al present Iho supply Is sborl ,
lone of Iho Ice houses of Iho clly bo
ng filled to their capacity.
The variable weather of the wlnler
las been such that it lias been impos-
ible for Iho regular summer supply
o be hnrvesled. Several limes Ihe
comcn have gollen Iholr harvesl un-
lor way when a warm wave put a
complete slop lo It. The last cold
spoil promised lo remedy Iho earlier
lisappolnlnienls of the season and
hen came Ihe snow , which put a short
stop to most of the operations. Deere -
ore the covering of snow bad been
cleared away warm weather set In and
ho last Ice put up was only about six
nches In thickness.
Just as Iho slluntlon stands today ,
f no more cold weather conies , there
vlll not bo enough Ice in Norfolk to
un through the summer. Waldo &
Jlllenbeck have about half of their
co put up , but have nlno inches on
their pond and are waiting only for
i cold snap in order to cut It. Fred
Schelly has about two-thirds of his
crop up , but will put up more with
cold weather. Oertwlg's now Ice
louse has but seven loads in it.
Mosl of the private Ice vaults are
filled bul llioy will not relieve the sit
uation among those who buy tholr ice
from tbo wagon day by day. What
ever they have Ihey will nso them
selves and , unless a cold snap comes ,
the Icemen will either have to curtail
tbo consumption throughout the sum
mer or else ship in ice from time to
time during Ilio summer. A number
of men , who are largo users of Ice
declare that the supply now In loca'
Ice houses will not last llirough July
Waldo & Dillenbeck said loday that
they bellovo a cold wave will come
the latter part of this week or the first
of next , and they are Irnsllng lo Ibis
to cut their pond. Mr. Schelly sail
that the crop will be short unless more
cold weather comes , In which case
more Ice will bo put up.
Another Fight
Stanton Picket : There was another
big fight at a sale oul In Haymow pre
clncl lasl Friday a week ago which is
said lo have been oven more fierce and
more blood was spilled lhan al Iho
one of Iho Wednesday previous , men
lion of which was made in these col
umns last week. It Is stated that some
who were opposed to the Miller broth
ers went to the sale reinforced and
armed with clubs for the express pur
pose of doing them up , and thai while
the mill was on the Millers got posses
slon of the clubs and used them over
the heads of their assailants. There
were sonic split heads and more sore
ones. Threals are being made as lo
what will be done when the factions
meet again and some are predicting
thai Iho number of combatants wil
bo increased on both sides and tha
the trouble will continue until someone
ono is killed.

YERKES ESTATE EXAGGERATED
Traction Magnate's Property Will be
Far Short of Fifteen Millions.
The Chicago Chronicle says : Start
ling reports have reached the ears of
Chicago financiers that the reputed
$15,000,000 estate of the late Charles
T. Yerkes is fictitious. That it will
not aggregate more lhan $0,000,000 is
a report credited by Chicago bankers
who have had occasion to make an
Investigation of the former traction
promoter's holdings.
Since tbo death of Mr. Yerkes , much
of the supposed values of tracllon
stocks In Chicago and London are de
clared to have dwindled to an enor
mous degree. This situation has
placed in jeopardy the gigantic New
York hospital project which Iho lalo
traction king bad provided for in his
will , as a monument to his memory.
That Iho estate of Mr. Yerkes could
not truthfully bo quoted at $15,000,000
was admitted last nlghl by Allorney
Clarence Knight , who represenled Mr.
Yerkes during Ihe closing years of his
life and who drew Iho will disposing
of his properly.
"There never was any aulhorizalion
for the tsalement that the Yerkes es
tate would amount to $15,000,000 , " ho
said. "There was nothing In the will
to Indicate thai such was the aggre
gate value of the estalo. As lo wheth
er the estate will amount to more or
less than $15,000,000 I have nothing
to say. "
