nero a challenge , while the boys feel
almost certain of n game with Mead
ow Grove and Columbus. " You're off
your base , Mr. News , the Pierce boys
Ignore nobody when it conies to play
ing ball. The size of the matter is
the Pierce boys have not organized
for this year , and wo don't believe they
have received any challenge from the
boys nt Norfolk. However , wo think
that If the high schoolers from the
Sugar Beet city are honestly desiring
a game of ball , they could bo accom
modated by addressing their communi
cations to Leo Craig or Robert Pow
ers. They are lovers of the game and
could probably organize a team In n
short tlmo which might satisfy the
appetites of the Norfolk young men.

Consumption Is a Germ Disease. How
Can it Start With a Cold ?
This is a reasonable question and
ono that must arise to the mnid of al
most everyone when the claim is made
that consumption starts with a cold.
The cold simply prepares the system
for the reception nnd development of
germs of that disease , that would not
otherwise have found lodgement It
Is the same with diphtheria , scarlet
fever and measles. They are most
likely to be contracted when the child
has n cold. That Is why a cold should
never bo neglected. The longer It
hangs on the greater the danger. As
a quick cure for colds Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy can always bo relied
upon. It's remarkable cures have won
for It a world wide reputation and an
immense sale. It is pleasant and safe
to take. For sale by Leonard the drug

NEW "LIDS" HAVE NARROWER
BRIMS THAN LAST YEAR.
TO WEAR PANAMA IN WEST
Easterners Think It Is Too Expensive
and Too Unconventional for Their
Nobby Heads Gaudy Colored Ribbons
bens at Hat Bands.
From the east there comes n report
that straw hats will bo worn this sum
mer. The report did not cause much
sensation nn this Is what the general
public expected. As of yore the straws
will be In various sizes and shapes and
will bo worn according to the taste nud
fancy of the wearer. Some will have
It cocked over ono eye , thereby produc
ing a general rakish effect , much de
sired among youths of a sportive ten
dency , others will lot It Ho negligently
though gracefully nt the back of the
head and others will wear It on the
hurricane deck of the thought dome.
In regard to straw hats there Is a
story told of Len Lesseulch , proprietor
of the Chicago house.
Last summer when the building was
bolng torn down a dilapidated Individ
ual approached him for. a job.
"Do you smoke clgnrets ? " asked
Lcssenicb.
"No , sir , " was the reply.
"Do you wear a straw hat ? " was the
next question.
"No , sir , " was the answer again.
Why He Won Out.
"All right you'll do , " said Lesseuich
nnd the man got the job.
"Why did you ask him those ques
tions ? " a bystander asked when the
man had departed.
"Uccause n man who smokes cigar-
cts and wears straw bats , " said Les-
senlch , "is either rolling a clgaret or
chasing his hat. I want a man to do
some work sometimes. "
This year the band will bo the most
noticeable feature of the straw hat.
It will be gaudy and llko unto the col
ors of the rainbow. College youths
and others who delight In peculiar
headgear are therefore looking for
ward to the straw hat season with a
great deal of anticipation. The com
mon people will keep to the ordinary
black bands.
East Shelves Panama.
Ono of the features of the coming
straw hat will be the brim or rather
lack of it. Many years ago when a
straw hat was worn for comfort and
as a covering for the head there was
a nice wide brim which kept the sun
out of one's eyes. This year , however ,
the brim will bo narrow nnd the more
a man can look llko Nat Wills in "A
Son of Rest , " the more he will be in
fashion.
After trying the Panama for a few
seasons the east has decided to give
it up. Bigelow Paine started Ihe move-
ment. The east declares the Panama
is too unconventional , it has too much
of a "havo another" sort of look about
it and then again it is too expensive
The only expensive luxuries the east
can afford now are insurance compa
nies and senators.
The west in spite of the ban put on
the Panama by the east will stick to
It. The fact it is unconventional makes
It popular with the west. A conven
tlonal hat , like a silk topper , cannot
stand the racket of the west. There
is too much wind and as a rule the
westerner does not spend half his time
looking for a hat peg. It is dollars to
doughnuts that ho throws it on a chair
and If anybody sits on It well he gets
another. He has the money to buy
one.
SPARROWS ANDJARTINS BATTLE
Two Species of Birds War Over Bird
House at Hospital.
A heap of dead sparrows on the
grounds of the Insane hospital north
east of Norfolk , noticed by a visitor
elicited the fact from Custodian Jo
Wcllls that fierce battles had taken
place there this spring between a
bunch of sparrows and a herd of mar
tins if It may be properly said that
martins , travel in herds. The two
little feathered armies had engaged in
really serious pitched battles.
It all came about through the rl
valry existing between the two dlf
forent species of winged creatures
over a neat and cosy bird house
There are two apartments In the hire
house , one upper and one lower , and
last year the sparrows enjoyed thel
nests In the upper berth. This spring
the martins came first and clalrnec
the top portion of the home. Then
the sparrows came in a drove and a
battle ensued. The sparrows won
and the martins were driven out
Many of them met death.
The martins flew 'away , but not to
stay. They returned with an Increased
army and another battle was fought
This tlmo the sparrows were driven
Into the earth. Mr. Wellls found a
heap of twenty of them dead thenex
morning , with tholr scalps taken eland
and their breasts torn open and othe
mutilations upon them. The martin
then stalked into the upper chambe
of the bird house and they are ther
today.
Since then another battle has bee
fought , with seven or eight more spar
rows killed. In the battle , which wa
witnessed by Mr. Wellls , the two ar
mles seemed to attack ono anothe
just as human soldiers , arranging fo
platoon rushes and center rushes am
concentrated firing with an almost hu
man genius.

Norfolk Branch of Wholesale Fruit
House Will Move to Omaha.
Haley & Lang , fruit wholesalers
vho have operated a jobbing house in
Norfolk about six months , have deter-
nincd to move from this city and
will stop doing business from here on
Tuesday , May 1. The move is occa
sioned by the fact that the firm has
ecently purchased a large fruit whole ,
sale house in Omaha , which can con
veniently cover this field , nnd because ,
: oo , of a shortage of traveling sales-
men in the Norfolk house. Fred Ha-
ey , manager of the local branch of
