SECTION YESTERDAY.
SERVICES HELD IN NORFOLK
Old Soldiers Marched to Prospect Hill
Cemetery In the Morning and Deco
rated the Graves Address by Rev.
J. W. Turner In Afternoon.
Memorial day opened bright and
clear in Norfolk and but for an occa
sional straggling cloud remained so
until well along In the afternoon. So
far as the weather was concerned , It
was an Ideal day for the patriotic ex
ercises. The morning was cool and
walking was not exhausting , but the
muddy condition of the streets and
roads , enrouto to tlio cemetery , made
It necessary for the line of march to
follow sidewalks as far as possible.
I As early as 9:30 : the fife and drums
began playing In front of the G. A. R.
hall , the headquarters of Mnthowson
post , and patriotic citizens represent
ing all stations of llfo began to as
semble In the neighborhood of Nor
folk avenue and Fourth street.
At 10 o'clock the fife and drum
corps went to the city hall and escort
ed the firemen , sixty strong , to the
G. A. R. hall where the old soldiers
and ladles of the W. R. C. fell In.
About twenty-five veterans of the
civil war , some feeble and blind , oth
ers yet spry , and twelve ladles joined
the ranks , and to the tap of drums
and music of fife marched forward to
Thirteenth street. At Thirteenth the
fire laddies opened ranks and with
uncovered heads allowed the soldiers
and ladies to pass and enter busses
and carriages. The firemen then led
the inarch followed by many vehicles
to Prospect Hill cemetery.
At the entrance of the cemetery the
firemen once more opened ranks. The
soldiers and Indies fell In , passed to
the front and marched to the monument
ment which was erected In honor of
the unknown dead. Hero a hollow
square was formed and the ritualistic
exorcises proceeded.
Commander J. C. S. Wellls , who Is
also chaplain , road the beautiful pa
triotic words of the ritual , after which
Adjutant W. II. Widaman read the

After the benediction by the chaplain -
lain the adjutant ordered the veterans
to fall In in squads of four and pro
ceed to decorate the graves of the
heroes who offered their lives to pre
serve this glorious union and those ol
the loyal women who so nobly stood
by their companions in the dark days
of war.
At the expiration of thirty minutes
during which the veterans , ladles ol
the W. R. C. and numerous citizens
had made the already beautiful ceme
tery look like a vast flower garden , the
various divisions were assembled
around the monument of the unknown
dead at the call of the fife and drums
The firemen and many citizens
marched back to the city while the
v& \ soldiers and ladles took carriages.
Between Seventh and Eighth street
on Norfolk avenue the firemen were
\ I lined up and a picture taken.

gregatlonal church In the afternoon at
2:30. :

Members of Mathowson post , W. R.
C. , and many citizens assembled at
the G. A. R. hall at 1:30 : and at 2 pro
ceeded to the church. The audltorlun
was comfortably filled with loyal clt
izens eager to listen to the glowing
tributes and eloquent words of Rev
J. W. Turner and the singing of pa
trlotlc songs by n mixed double quar
tet.
tet.In
In the course of Mr. Turner's re
marks , ho said In part :
Wo como to these Memorial days
with deepening reverence and gratl
tilde. They do not become common
but with growing love In our hearts
we keep this holy Sabbath of the na
tlon. We know not whether these
days are more solemn as they are
kept In our plain ways of our own
Httlo city , or In the larger towns o
the older east , where the flags flying
from the soldiers' graves , color the
landscape on Coinotory hill ,
Surely Memorial has become n high
service ilny , May wo speak of the
bent forms , the slower stops of the
comrades of our soldier ( lend ? It Is
a common remark It would bo brllllnnt
were It not so end. It Is not unnatural
to feel that these who by valor , by
sacrifice , by wisdom , have contributed
to maintain and preserve our Institu
tions , arc Interested In this day.
The lias Is stirred by diviner alms
than these of earth , as It Is carried
to battle and to sacrifice and Is a
witness of that divine llfo which Is
with the nation always. There Is the
revelation of a dlvlno quality In the
state. The Ideals of men become the
realities of God. Patriotic love that
llamed up In the hearts of the people
was a revelation of their devotion , and
by It thcv 'vcro enabled not only to
save our country but to jlvo ; us first
onr country with a clear , distinct or
ganic consciousness.
The great struggle for liberty will
always remain the standard of devo
tion and sacrifice the nation demands.
The Issue was so definite and clear.
Our admiration * for the generals , Sher
man , Grant and the other lenders Is
great but Lincoln's benign face towers
over all. The wisest statesman , the
nest pregnant speaker , lie bec.imo
nero powerful than any monarch of
nodern times through the reverence
of bis countrymen for bis sincerity ,
ils fnlth In God and tnnn.
In the years past wo have hnd to
leal with the problems of securing
Iberty. Today wo bare to face the
jroblem of preserving It. It Is n great
nlstake to assume that the problem
of today Is the easier of the two. The
growth of largo fortunes and largo In-
lustrles enables men who use them
Ightly to do the public much bettor
crvlco than was possible In ages pro-
Ions. It also permits those who use
bom wrongly to render the public far
greater Injury. No system of loglsla-
Ion Is likely to meet this difficulty.
The outcome depends upon the charac-
or of the people.
Wo cannot add to the glory of our
soldier dead but wo can carry their
ilstorlc work one step farther toward
ts accomplishment. In the words of
\brahnm Lincoln , no less appropriate
io\v than when they wore spoken at
Gettysburg , "Wo hero loyally resolve
hat these dead shall not have died In
vain , that this nation under God shall
mve a new birth of freedom , that gov
ernment of the people , for the people ,
> y the people , shall not perish from
tlio earth. "
The Firemen Dead.

i'rospect Hill cemetery are II. L.
Spauhling , Willis Dean , Ira Austin ,

Case Not Sustained.
E. Fensko was arraigned In Justice

charge of assault , with Martin Pohn

grew out of a Httlo trouble that oc
curred Saturday night. The testimony
did not prove that the affair was se
rious and that any bodily harm was
intended. The costs , $12.50 , were
charged to the complaining witness.

it very largely.
NORFOLK COMMITTEE HAD TALK
WITH GENERAL MANAGER.
SEEMED TO VIEW FAVORADLY
Mr. Holdrege Said Thnt the Schuyler
Branch Hnd Never Deen n Paying
Proposition and Thnt Possibly nn
Extension Might Drlng Results.
General Manager Hohlrego of tbo
DurlliiKton railroad , In response to the
representations made to him by the
committee from Norfolk who. as del
egates from the Commercial club , wont
to Omaha to try to Induce that line
of railroad to enter this city , said that
the Burlington railroad bad frequently
had tholr eye on this section of the
state and that he would take up tbo
matter of extending the Schuyler
branch to this city.
That Branch Never Pnld.
"Tho nnrllngton railroad Is tired of
building railroads because somebody
thinks they ought to , " Mr. Hohlrego
Is quoted , as saying , by Dr. A. Hear ,
one of the committee. "Tho branch to
Schuyler has never been a paying
proposition. The matter of extending
any branch must depend , to n great
extent , upon the dollars and cents
that can ho gained. That feature will
cut quite a figure with the directors
at Boston , where everything Is con
trolled. "
Might Pay to Extend.
But Mr. Hohlrego said that ho saw
where , by extending the Scliuylor
branch for fifty miles Into Norfolk ,
there was a possibility of making the
whole branch pay and thus do awny
with the part of non-paying track of
the present day. Ho said that ho
would take the matter up with the
Boston directors at once and see what
could be done.
Fenr Two-Cent Fare.
Ono of the things that will cause the
directors to hesitate In such a project ,
said Mr. Holdrege , Is the present agi
tation In Nebraska for a two-cent pas-
Hongcr faro. Tills , ho said , would make
ho chances loss for extending than
jfhonvlso.
The committee returned well pleased
vuh tholr trip and of the opinion that
bo end had well justified the journey ,
is no harm was done and General Man
ager Iloldrcgo promised to do as much
is he could toward extending the lino.

FIRST ESTIMATES OF GULCH EXPENSE -
PENSE WERE VERY WILD.
WILL SAVE MONEY TO COUNTY
Expense of Draining Corporation Gulch
Will Ultimately be Assessed Against
Property Owners Benefited by the
Change.
After looking over the gulch situa
tion In Norfolk , the county commlH-
sinners find that tbo work of draining
the residence portion of the west end
of Norfolk can bo done nt a very low
cost and It IH said that the 11 rat esti
mate of the cost , which bad been
placed by Fomo persons nt $3,0(10 ( or
higher , wore very wild. It Is now OH-
tlmntcd that the work can be done at
a very small fraction of that cost , and
it develops that the cost to Madison
county will bo practically nothing , as
all of tlio cost will ultimately be
charged back to the cltv of Norfolk
an 1 to property owners who shall he
benefited , under tlio provisions of tin
swamp law.
'I no exact course of the canal can
not bo determined until an engineer
arrives to look over tbo ground , and
either the state engineer or an engi
neer from Omaha will bo hi ought , to
look over the field.
Saving for Tax Payers.
The repairing of the gulch ovll will
result In a saving to taxpayers of Mad
ison county and the city of Norfolk , an
tno washouts to the city and county

expense to both. Tlio expense of kcop-
ng Thirteenth street , which is a conn-
.y section road , In repair , has boon a

Tbo mainline eastbound passenger
train on tlio Northwestern which
passed thiough Norfolk yesterday
noon , carried a special car In which
wore the remains of Mrs. George E.
lioyd , who died at her homo In Oak-
lalo Monday night. The body was

The deceased was the wife of George
F. Boyd , county attorney In Antelope
counly and president of the Antelope
County bank at Oakdale. Tbo remains
wore accompanied by John Horrlck ,
Mrs. Herrlck , and Mrs. Harvey Bc-
lianon. Judge Boyd of Ncllgh , a broth
er of the uflllutcd husband , came as
far aa Norfolk. Mr. Boyd had just
completed a now ? 5,000 homo In Oak-
dale. Mrs. Boyd was given all of the
care known to medical science and
nursing , but three weeks' illness with
typhoid fever proved too much for her
strength.
J. II. Valletto of Chicago , right-of-
way man for the C. & N. W. , passed
through Norfolk enrouto to Boucsteol.
Mr. Valletto has been inslructcd to
take up Iho right-of-way from Bone-
steel to the Trlpp county line , a dis
tance of about forty miles across that
portion of the Rosebud which was
opened for settlement two years ago.
The building of this line will mean
considerable to at least three towns In
the new territory. The survey runs
a little north of west from Bonesteol ,
tupping Hcrrick , Burke and Gregory
and continuing four or live miles north
west of the latter point to the county
line. The fact that the right-of-way is
practically secured and that Mr. Val
letto Is now on the mission of secur
ing deeds thereto , is not absolute as
surance that the road will be built
this year. Mr. Valletto refused to
make any statement as to future ac
tion on the part of his company. It
Is a fact , however , that as yet the
company has done nothing , apparently ,
toward Immediate construction.
Pay Loss ,
The Milwaukee Mechanics fire In
surance company has paid in full the
loss sustained by the fire In Albert
Wilde's barn some days ago.
