"My first meeting wtth Oonoral Thiiyor , " Riilil Colonel Col ton todny , "was during hlfl first term as governor - or , at ono of the coininoncoinont ox- orclfios of the Norfolk schools. I wan then on the hoard of education and was requested lo otitortaln Governor Thayer , who o.ivtno to dollvor the ad- drofls to the graduating chiRR. Wo bo- nuno very fond of him and while ho wna hero ho said that there was to ho a Grand Army reunion of the Htato volorniiR hold In Norfolk soon and asked If It would ho agreeable to ua to ontortaln him at our homo. Wo wore delimited at the prospect and ho lid stay with us during Hint big re union. "During his administration as governor - ornor ho visited the state Insane hos pital hero about once a month and wo always Insisted on ontertalnliiR him. After ho loft the oftlco ho made It a point , to visit UB about once a year. "Whllo hero , General Thayer told us some of his experiences fighting Indians In the early days. The pres ent town of Hattlo Creek derived Its name from a battle foiiRht under Ills command with the Pawnees. The In dians down around 1'romont had boon atoalliiR cattle from the Heltlers until the settlers became out of patience and , under orders from General Grant , started out. At Iluttlo Crook they met. Hero the Indiana rushed out and declared , each one , 'Mo Rood Indian. ' "Hut General Thayer Insisted that the rods RVO ! up the guilty parties who had committed a crime further down the Elkhom. Finally the Rullty ones wore Riven up and were tied to the rear onda of the waRona and Htarted away with the soldiers as prlsonors. In some manner the Indians escaped. "nurltiR the preliminaries to this hattlo Governor Illack , who was also at the scone of conflict , was for the most part ptetty well Intoxicated. Ho ordered ono of the aoldlors to go to Columbus and bring him a half barrel of whisky. The soldier asked General Thayer what to do and General Thayer - or told him to pay no attention to the governor. The governor wna then placed In an ambulance with a guard around It and after ho sobered up , ho thanked General Thayer for the ser vice. " The last letter received at the Cot ton homo from General Thayer was a year ago In February when the dis tinguished Nebraskan wrote in answer to a birthday note , llo said In this loiter that ho was afraid ho could uov- or make another trip to Norfolk , and ho feared ho would never again see Ills Norfolk friends In this life.

AN EXTENSION FROM O'NEILL ' It IB Said That a Great Northern Offi cial Has Deen In Outte Within the Past Few Days , Talking With Duel- ness Men There , The Great Northern railroad will ox- end Its line northwest from O'Neill , Nob. , to Hullo , In Hoyd county , and hence northwest Into the virgin torrl- ory of the Hosobud reservation , If he buslnoHH men of Hullo guess right. Within the past two or three days an illlelal of the railroad , said to bo the general passenger agent , has been In lutlo , turning with some of the prln- Ipal business men of that , thriving Hiunty Heat and It Is firmly believed hat the road will bo built. Aa a fur ther evidence to back up their hopes , ho Hullo people point lo the fact that ho Great Northern road has recently iiircbnsed an old railroad grade , once aid out and surveyed , between O'Neill mil Hutto , and It Is said that this grade will be used Jiy the Great North- srn In UH extension. "Thoro Is a great deal of railroad all ; In Hutto this week , " said Dr. Realty of that city In Norfolk last light , "and the people of the town bo- love that the prospocls for gelling the road are better than they have ever icon In the world before. "The Hosebud reservation territory s too big a tract for the Northwestern o handle all alone , according to Jiitto's way of figuring , and wo con- Idently think Hutto'a railroad has come at last. " The Great Northern road runs from Sioux City to O'Neill , by way of Plain- view , and an extension of this road ip Into the Rosebud would throw con siderable of the grain and stock of hat section Into Sioux City , St. Paul uid Minneapolis. The people of that section lend more of an oar to the word "railroad" because of Ilio fact that Hill has been stretching out his lues from Sioux City to Ashland , and s evidently making an effort to grid ron Nebraska with rails.

According to the Army and Navy Journal , the bureau of navigation took Important action last week when they decided to establish at Norfolk , Vir ginia , a school for the training of ma chinists for the navy. It should be remembered that , heretofore , the navy haa taken machinists from civil life and trained them as engineers on board ship. A certain number of those maohlnisls are given warrant rank in the navy , and a number of machinists and engineers from civil life are also permitted to lake the ex- amlnallon , which Is competitive. These warrant machinists are now el igible for promotion to the commis sioned rank of ensign. Under the now plan It is believed that a much bettor class of men will bo obtained for coal passers and the desertions consequently quently greatly diminished. The scheme provides for the selection from among the apprentice seamen of a certain number for duty as coal passers , who , during their first enlist ment , may through merit attain the rating of fireman , second class , then flroman , first class , and fli.ally , the potty ofllcer rank of water tender. Those firemen and water tenders thus selected who show any special me chanical ingenuity or adrptability , and who are recommended by their commanding olllcers , on tl'oir reenlistment - listmont will bo assigned to the school for the Irainlng of machinists at Nor folk , and will bo given a nine months' course there , and when graduated made machinists in the navy. From this grade they will ho able to attain the rank of warrant machinist. Calumet makes light , digestible wholesome food. Economy Only one heap ing teaspoonful is needed for one quart of flour. RUMORED THAT ROAD MAY BE BUILT TO YANKTON. SURVEYORS HAVE BEEN HERE A Gang of Railroad Surveyors Came to Norfolk a Week Ago Tuesday and Worked North For a Day and a Half , Beginning Near Sugar .Factory Is the Union Pacific railroad plan ning to build an extension from Nor folk to Yankton , over the old Norfolk , Yankton & Southern railway grade ? This rumor has been afloat among railroad men In this secllon of Nebraska - ka for a couple of weeks and those who take stock In the story claim that it is further proven by the fact that a gang of railroad surveyors wore in Norfolk a week ago yesterday , workIng - Ing north of town. It Is said that the surveyors arrived In town unannounced , loafed around the Union Pacific round house for a time and then worked north , starting from about the point of the sugar fac tory. A day and a half later they re turned to Norfolk and then loft town. The fact that there is a grade al ready established between Norfolk and Yanklon IB pointed lo as one con dition which makes the rumor seem to have foundation. At Yankton , , if the road were extended , It would con nect with the Milwaukee. Building Addition to House. An addition on the rear end of his home is being built by D. C. Herring- ton today. NATIONAL LIVE STOCK COMMIS SION CO. View of the Live Stock Markets at South Omaha , C. A. Mallory , Manager. South Omaha , March 22. Beef Cat tle ; As suggested in our letter last week , the receipts of catllo show a good increase1 , and although several of the markets suffered a considerable decline in beef cattle , our market ruled active throughout , although prices for the leant desirable beef steers sold 10 to 15c lowei than the high time this season. Common , rough and "shrlnky" cattle always suffer most when the supply is liberal and the general market wenk. Choice cattle weighing 1250 and 1450 are scarce , which accounts for the quotations appearing lower here by comparison , but quality and condition considered , this market Is In good shape. Hutrher stock Fat cows and heif ers are only In fair supply , and with a strong demand , prices have been well maintained with these grades still sell ing higher in proportion than steers. Cnnnora and cutters are also selling well , and all kinds of bulls except the poor thin kinds are going at about steady price-s. Milk cows and other dairy cattle that are all right , includ ing veal calves , went with ready sale. Stackers and feeders. The Increase in the rocolpls this week has been all in the beef grades and with a brisk demand for good to choice stackers and feeders , outside prices have been sustained. Common to fair steers are selling at the usual discount , but any thing desirable is picked up quickly at full avoragep rices. If we have any material Increase In receipts this season , sve believe It will be during the next two weeks , and wo again suggest that any one desiring anything In this line this season , cor respond with us freely and place their orders as soon as they can use them. Prospects. From our best Informa tion and according to our Judgment , we lXk for liberal receipts of all kinds of cattle the balance of this month , and do not expect any Improve ment in values. Wo would not be sur prised to see some further reaction on most grades during that time , but wo are hero first , and will do our best to keep on the top. Our special reports from all sections show au average of 10 to 15 per cent in the number of cat tle on feed March 1 , compared with last year , but a growing tendency to put more cattle in the feed lots for a later market. Wo atlll fool friendly to the market for fat cattle during the next few months , and Invite corres pondence from any ono engaged in the business. Hogs , Although the big packers , es pecially in Chicago , have tried hard for the past ten daya to force a per- munent decline In the hog market they only succeeded in bringing about tem porary and slight reactions and av erage prices continue within about 10 cents of the best prices of the season. The weakest feature as we have not ed before In connection with the hog situation , was the difference between the price of provisions and hogs. Thla has been largely overcome * by the con tinuous advance In provisions until the prices at present are about on a par with hogs. The export and home demand for all kinds of poik products , especially lard , continues heavy and the packers have not been able to accumulate any stocks , and from the best information we can obtain the available supply of heavy hogs is not at all excessive , and , while we believe the receipts will con tinue liberal for the near future , wo still have confidence in the market and believe good hogs bought to sell hero from $0.00 to $5.25 will be all right next week. The range in prices is quite narrow , light hogs in Chicago selling right close to med'um ' and heavy hogs. This is largely caused by the weakness In the market for corn , and the fact that eight hogs at present prices are good property to hold as long ns they are healthy and growing well. well.Tho The "National's" system of handling their hog business at South Omaha with an experienced salesman in each of the two divisions Is proving a great success as every one who stops to con sider this feature of the business can readily understand that under these conditions all consignments rocelvo prompt and proper attention and that there Is a saving In cripples and shrinkage. We look for fairly liberal receipts for the near future and do not think hogs will sell much above $0.25 on an average the balance of this month , but we would not be surprised to see still better prices later in the season. The sheep and lamb situation at all markets is still in bad shape as re ceipts are far In excess of the demand , and the qualily is becoming poorer. Strictly choice fat sheep are selling well at prices about 25 cents lower than last week's extreme high polnL Best owes $5.15 , the good class selling from $ l.7'j to $5.00 , prime wethers and yearlings $5.05 to $5.75. As the ex port market Is considerably higher the demand for heavy sheep suitable for this purpose is away out of proportion to the demand for stuff for domestic consumption. Prime export wethers are selling from $ d,00 to $ l,2n. ! \Ve do not look for any increase in the proportion of matured sheep at any of the markets during the next few .weeks , consequently there Is no ques tion of the demand and prices being good. The lamb situation is as much to the contrary from sheep as it could pos sibly be. All classes of lambs are a drug on the market. Packers are buy ing only the strictly choice grades and then only In Hmlled numbers. The extreme top for what might be termed hand-made goods is $ G,50 , with lambs that ordinarily soil for top prices sell ing from $0.20 to $0.35. Feeders are buying fully 75 per cent of all the lamb stuff offered for sale , the demand be ing best for those that will shear good fleeces and weighing from 75 to 85 Ibs , prices ranging from $0.10 to $0.5. ; ! I < amb weighing from 00 to 70 Ibn. are aelllng from $5.75 to $0.00 and lighter lambs as low as $5.00. Wo do not look for any lot up in lamb shipments - ments during the next few weeks and theio is no prospect of any permanent Improvement in values. During the past week we have had a little sheared stuff which sells read ily as they are making big yields of meat. All prices for clipped stuff are from 75 cents to $1.00 per hundred less than prices for wooled stuff. The "National" continues to hold the front seat on sheep and lamb sales as will bo seen from the list shown below of the stuff we have handled during the past week. As conditions at the different mar kets change so materially from day lo day we suggest lo all shippers that they communicate with us before mak ing their final decision as to whore to market their stuff. No money can bo made by shipping past the Missouri river markets as Iho bulk of the stuff selling hero Is bringing fully as much as the same class Is bringing in Chicago cage , and with markets going lower every day , the more tlmo spent on the road the less net money there will bo at the end of the shipment
