Not all were proaont at once , but they kept coining and going IIH buRlnesa allowed , except a few of the Btnndbys , who wont early and Htnyud late. The campora put In n good deal of tlmo llahlng , Bleeping and reading , and when the evening shades began to fall the party would gather around booming camp ilrca and relate experiences , real and Imaginary. All of the live counties of 'tlio district , Antelope , Knnx , Madison , Plorco and Wayne , wore represented at the grounds except 1'lorce. Fresh air makes keen apotltes , and the way those legal gentlemen would eat at meal tlmo was n caution. In addition to the appetites developed by outdoor life , the menu provided by the chef from Omaha , who had charge of the Kitchen and had nn assistant to help him , would Induce anyone to oat. For nt least two meals each day there was llsli cooked to n turn , potatoes , coffee and strawberry shortcake not tlio usual restaurant sborlcnko , but the kind that mother used to make with nn abundance of strawberries and cream that was the real thing. The menu also Included bam , eggs , bacon , beefsteak , plo and vegetables ; whlio on Sunday spring chickens of the vintage of ' 0(1 ( afforded a delightful change. With nil the accessories of delightful camp life , with a cook who Is nn expert In his line and with con * genial company , there was every rea son why those who are fortunate enough to bo disciples of tlio law or wore lucky enough to receive Invita tions , would have a good lime and they did. So that the lawyers would not bo obliged to go homo or to town on Sun day to attend church , a special ser vice was arranged for the afternoon of that day. Upon Invitation of the Nellgh committee , Uov.Mr.Clark of the Congregational church of that place was Invited to address the legal gen tlemen. The singing was conducted by the sweet voiced mo in be rs of the bar , and Mr. Clark made an excellent short address on "Tho Religion of the Itatnbarrel , " prefacing his talk with the remark that ho had before now been called upon to speak before the Inmates of an Insane hospital , had once addressed 300 convicts In a pris on , but he considered that ho was up against a hard proposition when called upon to speak to the lawyers. The point took well , and the size of the collection Indicated that ho had made n hit On Sunday Senator Allen was a visitor - itor and on Monday Judge and Mrs , Duffy of Omnhn accompanied Judge and Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Huffman to the camp and remained all day. The success of the outing was due largely to the enterprise and liberal Ity of the people of Nellgh , who made ample provision for the wants of UK campers. At the head of the commit tee of arrangements wore the lawyers of Nellgh , Judge Jackson , Judge Boyd Kelsey , Kllburn and Thornton , am they wore ably assisted by M. B. Huff man , S. P.

President Curling expects to announce the route i full during the first week In July , r even earlier. It Is snld that the Ight of way has cost considerably mro than the routes used by the thor lines to the coast , but this Is mlanced by the fact that on nearly lie whole distance there will bo plen- y of traffic to bo gathered aa soon ns 10 Hue Is finished.

It was declared to be the last of .ao final dances of the season , though a number nro planned by Eius who have recently become 'nterested In dancing , for next winter. The entire - tire series has been a pleasant one. A Jolly picnic of young people was enjoyed Tuesday afternoon on the banks of the Northfork.

Ryan of the Junction en tertained a score of friends Friday evening In honor of her guests , Miss Edith Marty and Miss Beulah Dem- mor of Crelghton.

All of Norfolk'a club attention thla wet-k lias been turned toward St , Paul , where the biennial federation scsalon has just been brought to n close. The local Intercut la liicrcaaed by the fact that n local club member attended the Boaslon. Mra. A. J. Durlnnd , who waa one of the nine atnto delegates , baa just returned , and brings back reports of n most enjoyable aosslon through out. There were twenty-five club wo men from Nebraska , while lown had the largeat delegation of all with an oven hundred. Mra. Durlnnd says that perhaps the point of Interest to Norfolk , as brought out In the federation sessions , was that In regard to library work. atthlst In regard to library work. Just at thla time Norfolk la especially interested In anything that baa to do with library work , and therefore suggeatlons made at that session come directly home to us here. One of the finest addresses In this line or In fact nny other branch nt the aesslon was made by Prof , Clark , head of the department of literature In the Chicago university , who apoke on , "Tho Spirit of Litera ture. " Prof. Clark said that not enough Im portance la attached generally to the library In our community building. Ho declared that the Individuals of a community nro measured by how they spend their leisure time , and not by how they work. Children should learn to love good literature while they are children , he said , for unless they train themselves to enjoy reading while they are children , they will never grow Into the habit In their older days. He suggested several books specially good for children , mentioning Thackeray's "Henry Esmond' " ns a remarkably good book for boys. Sentiment , Prof. Clark emphasized , should not bo overlooked. Women arc regarded ns over-much sentlmentiil by some , ho mild , but this is all right. Literature should bo studied not for what somebody else says Is In It , but for the culture that Is to be derived from It. Jane Addnms of Hull House , Chi cngo , was nn Interesting speaker as was also Judge Lindsay of the juve nile court , Denver. His lecture was largely attended. The social features were pleasant Nebraska delegates were invited to n reception given In the home of J. J. HIM , whose art galleries were thrown open to their inspection. At another time they enjoyed a reception In the home of Mr. Thompson , owner of the St. Paul Dispatch. Governor Johnson extended n reception In the new fivo- mllllon-dollar capltol utuuilng. On Tuesday a trolley ride wn senjoyed to Mlnnehaha Falls , where Minneapolis ladles served luncheon for 2,000. Lat er they drove to places of Interest thereabout.

Special to The News : In regard to the editorial recently appearing in The News in regard to Norfolk needing a hospital , there are not less than a dozen pa tients from Butte who pass through Norfolk to hospitals nt Omaha or other places every year , who might just ns well stop there and receive treatment. AROUND THE TOWN. Burt Mapes says that the Mast block Is willing to play another game of baseball , with any old club in town from nn office building. Some of the people about town , outside both blocks , have suggested that another nib with the Bishops would not bo a bad affair , and that another bunch of money for the library ns well as fun for the town might bo aroused. It Is not always the high salary thai makes a man faithful to hla post ol duty. In fact , some of the humbles ! positions in the world of labor are filled by men who earn their livings and Just a llttlo more , but who , per haps , are ns contented n typo as can be found In the race. "Of nil classes of railroad men , ' said Superintendent C. H. Reynolds the other day , "I know of no class that Is more faithful to his duty than the section boss. No train on this di vision of the Northwestern has ever gone Into a washout , and I lay it to the feathfulness of our section bosses. ' LAST CHANCE TO GET IN UNDER OLD LAW. JUDGE TO BE ON DECK FRIDAY Under the New Law , It Is Necessary to Send the Papers to Washington and the Process Will be Difficult. Many are Not Citizens. [ From Wedtipmlay's Dully. ] Friday of this week will bo the lant chance which will be given to alien citizens of Madison county to becoino naturalized under the old form of naturalization law , and after that day It will be necessary for the natural ization process to go through the otllco at Washington , and will require nine ty days In time. There nro said to be a large number of alien citizens In the county , who believe that they nro American citizens , but who , undei the law , have no right to citizenship. For Instance , according to nn au thority on the matter , In many cases men from other countries who liavo settled hero hnvo taken out their first papers toward naturalization , never completing the process , and their LOUR , In many instances , who were under eighteen years of ago at the tlmo their fathers began taking out the papers , have , when they attained their major ity , ' gone to voting without becoming naturalized themselves. It Is said that there are any number of these young men , who have been voting for years without knowing that they had no right to thla franchise. And since the new law Is quite rigid and requlrca much tlmo and a cere mony of procedure through Wnahlng ton offices , It Is quite nn Important matter that the law which will go out of effect July 1 be taken advantage of now. now.Clerk Clerk of the Courts , Henry Flelda , was In Norfolk from Madison yester day , and he explained the neces.jlty for quick notion. "Many persons have openly admit ted , " ho snld , "that they have been voting for years , although their fa thers only took out the first papers while they were under eighteen years > f age. Judge Boyd will be in Madison on Friday of this week , and many will probably take advantage of the fact , ns trouble might be the result for some. If they tried to get papers nr- lor the new law. The now law provides for a bureau of naturalization at Washington , which shall furnish all blanks for use and keep a record of all naturallza- Ions. It requires an applicant to file letltion for naturalization ninety days lcforo it Is acted upon by a court. It prohibits any naturalization thir ty days before any general elections. It authorizes the United States dis trict attorney to appear and cross-ex amine applicants and witnesses. It idds the additional qualifications that applicants must be able to speak Eng lish before receiving final papers and they must swear that they intend to reside permanently In the United States. It also provides a procedure for the cancellation of fraudulent cer tificates. THURSDAY TIDINGS. Fred Luther of Wayne is In town on business. J. A. Duncan of Wayne was in the city yesterday.

One arrangement of springs Is such that Immediately on being cast Into the water it grasps any other fishing tackle doing business In its vicinity and casts it out Into the brush. It then stealthily approaches any fish that may be lurking in the neighbor hood and rams itself down the throat of its victim. It Is needless to say how many fish Storrs brought home. of- Real Estate Transfers.
