If anyone Is of the opinion tlmt tlio
Rosebud Is u < lry , barren desert , limy
luivo only to ask Ilornmn Schneider ,

If you linvo truvolctl the rend from
Norfolk to the Junction within the last
few dnyn you will realize something
of the condition of the roads on the
UoHohnd , only If anything they nro
worse. Mr. Schneider wns on n long
nnd lonesome drlvo with n tcnm tlmt
hnd soon bettor days. For hours ho
labored mosl industriously with the
nxwhldo In nn almost vain ntlompt to
keep the nnlmnls In motion. The vlo-
lent oxorclso cnnsod Mr. Schneider to
become so fatigued that ho foil nsleop.
Ills drenms wore plonsnnt but not of
long durntlon.
The team crept along Iho rend for
a short distance when they came tea
a very steep hill. When the buggy
pushed upon them It Boomed to glvo
them now llfo nnd they actually got up
some speed. Mr. Schneider slept
peacefully , dreaming of the largo or
der ho has just tnUon In Dnllns , but
O , how sudden nnd rude was his awak-
onlng.
The necUyoUo broke and the longuo
entered the ground , stopping Iho bug
gy Instantly. The tcnm freed thorn-
Helves from the vehicle just In lime
to lioop out of Mr. Schneider's rond.
As nearly IIH ho could mcnmiro tlio
distance , ho traveled through spnco
for n distance of about thlrly feet ,
alighting In n solution of ninety per
cent water nnd ton per cent Rosebud
loam , which WIIH fortunate In every
sense except being conducive to bis
personal appearance. During his flight
lie lost his glasses and was unable to
locate them.
Extracting himself as best ho could
from the solution commonly known
as mud , he ga/.od around In a sort of
dazed condition for n time. Ho then
took nn Inventory of his physical
standing nnd found thnl nil members
were Intact and that ho was not se
riously Inlnrnd.
The team did not await his orders
but had proceeded toward Jamison.
Not knowing how far It was to town
and for want of anything holier to do ,
Mr. Schneider slozed a heavy grip In
onch hand and followed the horses.
Kor eight long miles , through occa
sional showers and mud galore , bo
wended his way until llnnlly , footsore
nnd weary , ho arrived at Iho oasis In
the desert { ? ) , the vlllngo of Jamison ,
just over tbo line In Nebraska. It
might truthfully bo said Hint upon his
arrival ho was not exactly a fit sub
ject for dress pnradc.
The loam hnd arrived on schedule
lime nnd bad been taken In charge by
n native , through whoso kindness the
vehicle wns brought In , the necessary
repairs made and Mr. Schnoldor went
on his way rejoicing.
The loss of bis glasses was a serious
affair to Mr. Schneider as ho Is nl
most helpless without them and It
took him two days to decipher the or
ders bo received nftor Iho accident
when ho returned to Norfolk.

CYCLONIC CIRCLE THAT HUNG
AROUND , HAS GONE.
WILL BE WARMER WEATHER NOW
There Was No Frost During the Cold
Snap That Accompanied the Cyclone ,
the Mercury Going Not Lower Than
Thirty-six.
[ From Monclny's Dallv. )
The cyclonic area thnl hns hung
over Norfolk and northern Nebraska
for tbo past week , since n week ngo
tonight , has departed from this sec
tion of the world , having moved onto
greener Holds this morning. Today
dawned with a clear Bky , a crisp nt-
moHphero nnd with all signs of the
Htorm clrclo moved out of the country.
Was No Frost.
Since Saturday morning the air over
northern Nebraska hns been very chil
ly , Indeed , nnd tlioro wore many
nlnrms lost It might get cold enough
to frost , but nt no time has the torn-
poraturo fallen below thirty-six de
grees. This was early yesterday mornIng -
Ing , just before sunrise , nnd last night
the mercury dropped to thlrty-soven ,
thus clearing the frost mark easily.
Yeslordny wns a very cold day all
day , Iho thermometer at no time going
above forly-sovon , so tlmt the range
for all day long was only ten degrees ,
the average temperature being forty-
two. Today , with the sun that has
como out , there Is prospecl of a warmIng -
Ing up and , since the slorm nrcn has
passed beyond , a rising temperature
may bo looked for. Cold weather nl-
ways accompanies a cyclonic clrclo ,
the cold air rushing In to replace the
hot , light air Hint rises so rapidly.
Snow at Stuart.
A passenger on the morning train
that arrived from Stuart this morning ,
said thai there was snow Ihoro yes
terday. The whllo flakes did nol como
In drifts , but It came , just the same.
At O'Nolll , very enrly In the morning ,
there wns n slight sprinkling of snow.
CYCLONE-TORNADO DIFFERENCE
This Section Has Been In Big Cyclone
for Week Tornado Is Violent.
Newspaper reports coming In from
portions of this section of the country
show Hint there Is a very general mis
taken Impression In regard to the use
of the two terms , "tornado" nnd "cy
clone. " Most people confuse tbo two
terms , calling the small , violent twisters
ors llml slrlko this country "cyclones"
Instead of ' tornadoes. "
As n matter of fact , nll of Iheso violent
lent slorms Hint travel over small
areas and do Immense damage In the
pnths , are tornadoes nnd not cyclones ,
The funnel-shaped twister that trav
eled from Inman to the Nlobrara river
wns n tornado and not a cyclone.
The difference between a cyclone
nnd a tornado Is that a cyclone is an
Immense area of atmosphere , covering
a clrclo with a diameter of several
hundred miles , whllo a tornado Is a
very narrow funnel-shaped cloud
which uproots trees and destroys build
ings and lives In its path.
A cyclone Is a very wide saucer-
shaped depression In Iho air , extend
ing nl times across several states. An
immense cyclone has been over Nor
folk nnd Nebraska over since Inst Mon-
dny night , the terrific rains , lightning ,
hall and severely strong winds being
secondary features of the cyclone. It
wns formerly supposed thnt , cyclones
were straight blows , but a scientist
some yenrs ngo discovered that they
are Immense wheels which rotalo con
stantly , thus producing the wind that
seems straight where an edge of It Is
struck , and the whole storm area or
cyclone moves In a definite and easily
prcdlcled course.
Cyclones are formed In the Iron
ical cllmnles by the fierce rays of the
sun , which so heat the nlr that It rapIdly -
Idly ascends and cold air rushes in
to replace Hint gone up. This rushing
In causes the wind and the revolving
motion of the earth throws'the cyclone -
clone off the equator like a soap bub
ble. South of the equator the cyclone
moves In the direction of the hands
on n clock , nnd north in the opposite
direction , the traveling of a cyclone
Is at the rate of from thirty to 100
miles nn hour.
A tornndo , on the contrary , Is a
small , violent funnel-shaped storm
which forms quickly , destroys all In
Its path , moves rapidly like a whirl
wind , and finally spends Itself. There
may bo many tornadoes In each cy
clone , just as there wore In the cyclone -
clone thai now hangs over Uils secllon
of the country.
The upper Mtsslsslpp valley Is the
greatest tornado area , whllo cyclones
move over the cnllro nation , especial
ly along the Atlantic coasl , and dlspol
themselves in the ocean. Cyclones do
llltlo damage.

OLD BAND OF OUTLAWS ON ROSE
BUD IS DISPERSED.
FOUR IN THE PEN , ONE SHOT
Federal Court at Deadwood This Week
Has Finished the Work of Putting
*
Old Notorious * Band of Rustlers In
Stripes Judge In Norfolk.
At last the notorious gang of horse
thieves nnd calllo rustlers who for
years and years have crealed terror
along the old trail between Chadron
and Nlobrara , and who have looted sta
bles In every pnrt of tbo northwesl ,
Inloly rellrlng to Iho unsettled portion
of the Rosebud reservntlon , have found
Iholr undoing , nnd are all either locked
up In penitential cells or dead with
bullets In their frames. The last of
the gang were disposed of this week
at the South Dakota federal court In
Deadwood , from which place Judge
Carland of Sioux Falls returned last
night , spending the night In Norfolk
and leaving early this morning for his
home.
Al this session of the court Phil and
Claude Conoyer were each found guil
ty of the crimes of horse stealing , nnd
were sentenced to two yenrs In the
penitentiary , each. John Is now serv
ing a term nt Sioux Falls. Frank
Young , another of the gang , was also
sent up at this session of Iho court for
two years , nnd Jack Sully , the former
lender. Is dend.
Years ngo this gnng was under the
leadership of Jack Sully , who led n
desperate career , taking many chances
on his llfo. A couple of years ago Jack
Sully was shot nnd killed In a running
fight on the reservation , out northwest
of Boncstccl. It was thought at that
time that this gang's rustling would
end , but the leadership was taken up
by John Conoyer , and the rustling
wont on Just as though Sully had nev
er died with his hoots on and in his
saddle.
Conoyer Gang Well Fixed.
It was a surprise to the people of
the Rosebud reservation that the Co-
noyers should take up Iho work of
rustling , for the reason thai they were
well off in worldly goods , owning n
good tract of land , n good bunch of
livestock and In a growing community.
But they were undaunted by this good
fortune , and continued In tholr rust
ling , taking animals off Into Iho north-
wesl and then gelling them out of the
country by means of n chain of sta
tions.
Finally John Conoyer was captured
nnd sent to the penltenllary , nnd work
began on Hie trails of Iho olher two
nnd of Frank Young.
Last winter Claude was captured
out on the reservation by Sheriff
Sproul In a had fight and later Phil ,
whllo drunk , fell out of n wngon and
s shot accidentally by n revolver In
bis pocket. Dr. Frank Snlter , formerly
of Norfolk , wns called to attend the
case , nnd ho recognized Conoyer. Lat
er the sheriff went to the plnco where
Conoyor lay wounded nnd arrested the
fellow. Frank Young was taken In n
flght. The Ihreo were brought before
the federal court at Deadwood last
week and now all have been sentenced.
The people of northwest Nebraska and
the Rosebud are breathing more eas
ily as a result.
There has never been a Jail strong
enough to hold the Conoyers or the
Sully gang. Many and many a time
they hnvo broken out of the jail at
Butlo and Nlobrara nnd Verdigre , al
ways with aid from their comrades.
At ono time Jack Sully was shot In
Minneapolis , just as he wns leaving
Hie police station on an escape , headIng -
Ing for a train.
Among the parly In Norfolk last
night , enrouto homo from Iho court
session , were'Clerk of the Court O. S.
Ponder , and Polly Jurymen J. J. Wells ,
J. W. Paris , W. S. Vreeland , Carl Mur-
nor. W. II. Gllflllan , C. A. Tldblan.
Every criminal case on Iho docket
was convicted. There wore nine sent
to the penitentiary nnd two to county
Jail.

SPLENDID BACCALAUREATE SER
MON TO GRADUATES.
THOUGHT IS SUCCESS SECRET
Nations Think and Men Think , Dis
tinguishing Them from Brutes He
Who Thinks Moot , Wins Over Com
rades Specialization the True Ideal.
tl'Vom Monday's Dallv.l
Notwithstanding atmospherical con
ditions thnl were nol pleasant the au
ditorium of the Methodist church was
crowded and the lecture room partially
lllled to hoar the baccalaureate sermon
which was preached by Dr. D. K. Tin-
tlall yesterday morning. The corps of
IcnchorB witn Iho graduates occupied
scats in the central tlor of seals and
the mosl of Iho school board wore
present On every sldo were heard
enthusiastic words of pralso for the
excellent sermon. It was said to bo
one of Iho slrongest Hint hns over boon
given In Norfolk on nn occasion of
that kind. It was eloquent as well as
Instructive.
The subject was : "Man n Thinker. "
The text was taken from the fourth
chapter of Phllllplans and the eighth
verso : "Think on these things. " Dr.
Tlndall said In part :
God Is a thinker. The universe Is
a thought of God. It is just as reason
able to suppose that a handful of type
could bo carelessly thrown togelher
and produce a Homer's Illiad as lo
suppose that the universe could hap
pen by accident. God thinks great
things and they are. Ho thought flow
ers and they bloomed ; birds and they
wont flying through the air ; beasts
and they roamed the fields. God
thoughl His highest thought and man
sprang Into being to bo the lord of
creation and the "Monarch of all he
surveys. "
Nations think. The thought of
Greece was art , philosophy and litera
ture. The thought of Rome was law
and government. Of the Hebrew race ,
the greatest thought of all nations , re
ligion of Monotheism nnd later Chris
tianity. The thought of England was
the Mngna Charta. Of France , the
Rennnlssnnce.
Indllvdunls have thought. Luther
thought of the reformation , John Wes
ley's thought was of the evangelization
of the world. Some of our forefathers
thought , the result was the Declaration
of Independence.
The thing that distinguishes man
from brute is his power of thought.
Instinct moves blindly toward its end
while man reasons n way to conclu
sion. There is no advancement in In
stinct. The beaver builds the same
kind of dam today that it did years
ago. There Is no Improvement In the
hlvo of the bee. But man has ad
vanced because of his power of think
ing from the cliff dweller to the Inhab
itant of mansions and palaces.
Dowey's victory at Manila was not
an accident but the result of a thought.
Men differ In their achievements be
cause ono mnn thinks nnd the other
docs not. Lincoln was ndvnnced over
other rail splitters because ho thoughl
more. Garfleld was boiler lhan olher
mule drivers because ho thought out
Ihings as he trudged along tbo tow
path. Roger Sherman went from the
shoeshop to the place of statesman be
cause he thought more than other shoe
cobblers. Franklin was different from
most printers because he thought more
than most printers. Jesus was the
greatest sage of all time because he
was the greatest thinker of the ages.
Thought should bo broad but not
diffusive. Man cannot master all
learning. Think deeply and master a
few things. Sometimes ono Idea Is
enough to distinguish a life. Newton's
one Idea was gravitation. Luther , the
roformallon ; Darwin , evolution ; Edi
son , sound waves. Not many ideas but
great ideas is the Ideal.
Thought Is a healthful exorcise.
Late hours , bad habits , corrupt thought
breaks down the health. Too much
study has hurt few people who have
been true to God's moral laws.
Wo should not bo biased In our
thinking. Our thought should be hon
est Huxley could see an atom but
would fall to see a God who Is Infinite
ly more knowablo. Tyndall could
think of sound wave but could not
quicken his ear to listen to the voice
of God. Herbert Spencer devoted his
llfo to the finding out of the things
which could not be known Instead of
thinking the things that are known.
Think the thoughts of the truth. Je
sus was truth. Pilate asked , "What
Is trulh ? " Jesus did not answer Iho
quesllon but once said : "I am the
way , the truth. " Christianity is trulh.
Think thoughts that are pure , lovely
and lovable. The body is not all. In-
lellecl Is nol all. Spiritual llfo Is not
nil. Educnto the body nlono and you
have a John L. Sullivan. The Intellecl
and you may have an agnostic or n
skeptic. Educnto all and you have
symmetry. It Is said that the Christian
meetings hold by Moody during the
Columbian exposition had more refin
ing and restraining effect on the mul
titudes than all the art display of the
grenl exhibition. Religion , Christian
religion , Is the thought Hint hns had
the greatesl power for good upon man.
Think these things.
In conclusion the doctor said thai
this was a tlmo of farewell when a
good-bye wns said to school board ,
teachers , nnd even the brick and mor
tar that composed the school building.
Ho spoke of seeing the Parthenon , the
place of tbo grent races of the an
cients. Of the great multitude of loved
ones who cheered the contestants on
lo victory and used Ibis to Illustrate
how teachers , school hoard , mothers
and fathers who had sacrificed as well
ns Iho people of Norfolk were wntch-
Ing Iho members of the graduating ;
class as they started the race of llfo.
Ho pleaded with them not to dlssnp-
polnl Iho fond hopes of loved ones who
would witness their achievements In
Iho world.
GRAND ARMY MEMORIAL SERMON
Old Soldiers Attended Services at
Trinity Church Yesterday.
Members of Mathewson Post , G. A.
R. , yesterday atlended In a body Iho '
annual Memorial church services , the
sermon being delivered by Rov. J. C.
S. Wellls , chaplain of the post , nt
Trinity church. Mr. Woills declared
that Memorial day is set apart first to

ondly lo Hie known dend , nnd thirdly
for the purpose of bringing together

pence before Iho final roll call.
Mr. Woills spoke of Iho enormous
numbers of unknown dend who were
burled nflor bnlllos. Ten thousand
union bodies were shovelled Into ono
long trench after ono bloody battle ,
none of the victims being identified ,
nnd It Is most for the sake of honorIng -
Ing these poor soldiers , who wont to
such unmarked graves , that the Deco
ration day services are held each year.
Mr. Woills paid tribute to the sol
diers who fought without dlstlncllon.
Those who fought In the ranks are
entllled lo glory as well as the men
under shoulder straps , for their deeds
of fighting for their flag were of no
less consequence than those of the
ofllcora.
