This amount It Is expected will replace the church exactly as It was before the lire. Plans for the now through train on the Northwestern from Omaha to Cas per and Shoshonl are being eonsld- rod by the Northwestern ofllclals and rnln service will shortly bo Inaugurat ed. From an unofllclal source the late of the beginning of the new sor- Ice is given as April 1 , although this ) robably Is slightly oarly. No now rain will be put on the North western east of the Missouri river , but con- lections will bo mndo with one of the iresent fast trains between Omaha ind Chicago. When this train Is put nto . ' r- ' 11 be 'hreo pus- senger trains each way on the main Ino as far as Long Pine and two west of there. The new train Is to bo a through train and will stop only at the principal stations on the main Inc. and so make much better time ban any of the trains now operated on the line. The Jotter Brewing company of South Omaha have just secured a ease on the Shaffer building at the Junction. The saloon building Is now occupied by Henry Hnsonplliig. What Imposition will be made under the tow lesee of the saloon building , or f there will be any change , has not icon announced ns yet The lease Is 'or two years and takes effect May 1. HID saloon building now occupied by Tames Walton has also been secured > y the Jotter Brewing company on a five-year lease to begin May 1. To iccure the building it was necessary o take a lease on all three floors. With the acquiring of the two saloon wildings the Jotter people have brok en into the saloon business of Nor folk quite hard. They have made sev eral attempts to secure a vault for storage purposes but have not suc ceeded so far. They will probably mve to build this. The proposed dipping tank for the farmers on the Santee reservation and ho surrounding country will bo In stalled early In the spring and work In dipping all of the cattle and horses will begin. State Veterinarian Me- Kim has just returned from Monowl and Niobrara and reports that ar rangements are being made to orga nize a stock company among the farm ers for the Installation and operating of the tank. It will bo put in either on the Santee reservation or east of Niobrara. This will give it a central ocation so that it will be of easy ac cess to all the stock in the itch-infect ed zone. The farmers are all anxious to get to work dipping their stock seas as to stamp out the itch. The chief difliculty in driving out the itch will bo with the Indians , who will have to be forced to dtp their stock In many instances. The Indian agent has promised co-operation with the state authorities and before fall all the stock on the agency and In the surrounding country will have- boon dipped. Dur ing Dr. McKlm's trip ho investigated : > ne case of glanders and shot the horse. This was near Monowl. It was the only case found. The ice situation in Norfolk lias been saved during this last cold spell and there Is as much Ice In the ice houses of Norfolk today as in a nor mal year. Practically every Icehouse in the city Is filled to the roof with Ice with the exception of Waldo & Dlllenbock's and they are making preparations to begin cutting on their pond before the present cold spell breaks. Oortwlg has been harvesting ice all this week and tonight will prob ably fill his house to the roof. As this Is a new Ice house Its contents are practically a distinct gain over previous years. Likewise there are 500 tons of Ice In the Icehouse put up by the Fair store and Emll Kauftman , which Is another addition for thlb year. Every private vault and Ice house , which Is In the city , Is now filled with Ice so that nil of last year's capacity Is put up In addition to that of the new housos. If there was any need for It much more ice might bo harvested in Norfolk during this cold spell as the ponds and lake are cov ered with a nice layer of Ice , which Is quite thick enough for marketable purposes. If the weather continues ns it is during next week , the loca ! icemen declare that they will bo In position to ship ice out of Norfolk to any of the surrounding towns , where there may bo a shortage. The ice this year is not of ns nice a quality ns that of previous years and there will be much raoro waste to It. The short cold spells necessitated the cut ting of Ice when It was not over olgh or ten Inches In thickness and some o Is as thin as six and seven Inches However , It Is generally qulto clear and clean and will answer the pur pose next summer just as well ae thicker Ico.
