J I'llli NORFOLK NKWS : t'HIDAY , AUdUSi 31 , 11)08 ) OLD TIME STAGE COACH PASSES THROUGH NORFOLK , FROM PIERCE TO MADISON The Conch Was nt One Time Used on the Trail Between Omnhn and Og > , | cn Herman Gerecke Used to Ride Dehlnd It ns a Guard Now on Dis play. A rollo of bygone Any a passed through Norfolk yesterday. H was nn old fiovornmont stngo couch thut nt ono time wns on the route from Oinnhn to Ogdo i Tlio conch IB the property ofVllmm Hull of IMorco niul Is on Its way to Madison , where It will bo u feature In the county fair , The coach IB In n very dilapidated condition at present and shown the rnvuKon of tlnio. Tim driver's high Hcnt has rotted from exposure to the weather nnd there IB no ciiRhlon loft , only tnttorn. On the hack Is the baggage - gage plat form , with Its leather cover , that la cut and worn till It Is hardly rocognli'nblo. In the leather are a few liullot holes that tell a Rtory of their own , perhaps a fight with In dians or Homo hold-up. Then there nre nnniorouH eut , supposedly from knlvea In a fight or from arrows. The paint has worn off on most all of the parts , hut can ho faintly scon In places. The roach was painted a light blue- with white trimmings. At the top Is the name of the firm that ran the vehlclo , "Llftwlch and Perry , " anil on the side are the signs , "Amor- lean Express , and , "U. S. Mall. " The boxes that should hold those have rotted away and the bottoms have fal len out. The Inside of the coach IB In the most dilapidated condition of all. All the cushions have boon worn and torn so that the bare boauls are to DO soon. There Is ono part that has been burnt. There are Inuumorablo autographs of passengers , who have ridden In the coach. The wheels only are In a fairly good condition , although there are no wash ers on the axle , and the thing goes croaking along with a horrible nolso. The big strap springs that bold the box are In very good condition but when n person gets lusldo and rocks thorconch they creak with an unearth ly sound. Evidently this rocking mo tion would make most anybody sea sick. sick.They They have to bo very careful and not drive too fast In taking the coach to Madison , as It IB very liable to break In parts. It Is understood that the coach will bo used In an Indian collection that will bo on display at the county fair. Ono of the most Interested of the spectators who saw the old coach here was Herman aerocke. "It Is highly probable , " said Mr , Oorecke , "that In the old days I rode behind that very coach as a guard. I used to rldo In that capacity between Omaha and Og- don. " THURSDAY TIDINGS. J. M.

Some of the Effects of the New Rail way Rate Law Here. IProrn Wednesday's Dally. ] Norfolk railroad oillces aiu In a state of confusion as a result of the low railroad rate law which wont Into > ffoct In the United States Tuesday. Circular announcements rrom head- manors , giving Instructions regard- ng future business methods , have leon pouring Into the oillces hero and allrond men who handle the tariff beets are up In the air , perplexed as o which way they shall turn or , In- eod , which way they may turn with- ut violating the law. Under the now law a railroad Is rohlblled from quoting any rate vlilch Is not published thirty days In dvance , and that rate must have first eon approved by the Interstate com- mrco commission. As a result the allroad agents here have received of- clal notices that hereafter they willet ot quote any rates or tariffs which re not authorized and published In dvanco. Ono of the questions that arises mong long-line railroads which have eon competing with shortllne routes y meet Ing rales , even though not pub- shlng such tarlffu as tholr own , Is bother or not the long-lino route will o able to do business against a short- no route In the future. * For Instance , 10 Northwestern has a short line otweon Lincoln and Norfolk , while 10 Union Pacific has been meet * ig the Northwesternrate but hauling 10 freight around a long way. The Jnlon Pacific's published tariffs do ot moot the Northwestern tariffs on 11 commodities between Lincoln and malm , Therefore the Union Pacific an not now accept commodities be acon Lincoln and Norfolk upon hlch the published tariffs are not qual. For Instance , on an article which as always been hauled to Norfolk rom Lincoln for 20 cents by the Northwestern , the Union Pacific may ave had a rate of 25 cents as pub- Ished , but In order to compete with ho Northwestern the Union Pacific as been able , In the past , to accept ho business at the Northwestern's ate. In the future the Union Pacific ould not , under the law , haul for less ban 25 cents , and therefore It could lot compete unless It were to publish . 20-cont rato. And by publishing the 0-cont rate the Union Pacific would ie compelled to reduce the rate to 20 : onts to all Intermediate points so hat the loss would bo greater than ho gain , and In this way eliminating ho long-route competition. Some railroad men contend that the icw law makes everything a distance arlff , thus shutting out the long-line outes altogether. This is an unset- led point. It is still a question whether passes vhlch were Issued before August 28 ro good or not. The Burlington road claims that the pass clause of the new rate law Is now In effect , while other roads claim the passes do not expire 111 January 1 and therefore the clause s not yet In effect. Prominent maga zines , In discussing the matter , have glvon January 1 as the date on which > asses die. Local railroad officials ilso claim that January 1 Is the day. Here's the situation : While the law says in good English that railroads may issue passes until January of next ear , the closing section of the law states , "that this act shall bo In force sixty days after its passage" and Tuesday was the sixtieth day. As one result of the law , the ship ier has a right to see all tariffs pub- Ished by the railroads and the tariffs mist bo in such shape as to be under stood. A shipper may now figure out icfore ho ships , just exactly what the freight charges on his goods will bo , .ncludlng . sldo Issues and all. Among evidences of the new law In Norfolk are placards talked up In freight offices , giving notice that all rate schedules , passenger and freight may bo had by anyone desiring Information mation for the asking. All of the tar iffs have not boon printed yet nnd are not , therefore , at hand. It Is said that among the effects o : the new rate law Is one which pro hlblts stop-overs on excursion tickets and another prohibiting half fare rates to land-seeking parties. Old soldiers will not be given half faros , as here tofore. FERN M'DONALD ' ARRESTED Tailor In Jail Files Warrant Against Her to Get Even. [ From Wednesday's Dally,4 Fern McDonald's complaint against Cleveland Davis on n charge of carryIng - Ing concealed weapons , as a result of which Davis Is now In jail awaiting his trial on Friday , has acted as a boomerang. In retaliating against her for landing him In jail , Davis has filed complaint against Fern McDonald charging her with conducting a disor derly house contrary to law. The warrant was Issued late yester day , after Friday had been set as the time for Davis' trial , and the woman furnished bonds for her appearance before Justice Lambert. Attorney Barnhart , who has charge of Davfs' defense , also has In hand the case against the McDonald woman. The Davis case will bo heard before Justice Lambert at 10 o'clock Friday morning nnd the McDonald case at 2 In the afternoon , It Is said that Davis , the tailor , came to Norfolk nt about the enme time as the young woman , Dora , In whom ho appeared to bo more or less Interest ed. Both came from Sioux City , It Is claimed. Davis claimed yesterday that this woman would furnish him with money with which to employ an attorney to defend himself , but the girl , In Justice Elsoloy's court , refused to see the prisoner , Just where the funds are coming from now with which he Is to both dr fond himself and prosecute the land lady , Is not exactly nppnrcnt , as ho admitted yesterday that he had no funds of his own. Davis had hoped to get out on ball today , but did not succeed. The crime with which ho Is charged may send him to the penitentiary If ho Is convicted , and It Is claimed that the mgo wooden post and gun with which 10 tried to batter down doors nnd to frighten the Inmates , may yet make an Interesting case for him. CASES NOT COMPROMISED. Davis Says He Will Pay Fine For Carrying Gun , to Get Revenge. No compromise has boon reached ) etwoon Fern McDonald and Clove- and Davis , both of whom are under irrost as the sequel to the rough house Uleged to have been created Sunday > y Davis. Davis Is still In jail and hero Is eve v prospect now that tl.e wo cases will come up for trinl on ' "ridny , as docketed , In spite of un effort which has been made to settle natters out of court. It is claimed by those to whom DaIs - Is talked before the trouble , that his notivos were not those of rescuing ho young woman iu whom he was in- orosted , as ho declared when arrest- d. It Is said that he previously boast- d of money which ho has boon In the mblt of receiving from this woman , uul It is said that If his former state- uonts are to bo believed , the girl In liiestion has led u wayward career or some time , contrary to Davis' lat er statement that her downward course commenced In Norfolk. Davis says that ho doesn't want to ; ot out of jail on bond now , because he trial Is so near at hand. "All that I can bo convicted of , " ho said today , "will bo the charge of car rying concealed weapons. I am wili ng to pay the fine for the sake of ovongc which will come in the other case. " ENFORCE THE BALLOT LAW. Straight Republican Votes Count for Amendment. Lincoln , Nob. , Aug. 30. Attorney General Norrls Brown has advised the enforcement of the statute authoriz- ng the- counting of straight party votes for a constitutional amendment n case the voters' party has endorsed he amendment In state convention. The republican state convention on- lorsed the railroad commission amend- nont and authorized the secretary of the convention certify the fact to .he secretary of state. The democrat- c state convention adopted a plat- for mondorslng the amendment. The officers of the republican state com- nlttee will recommend that the law ) e followed In the counting of ballots and will aid In enforcing the law as eng as It remains , on the statute looks. Some have expressed doubt about the constitutionality of the statute. It Is believed that the rail roads will oppose the amendment at : he polls and If it Is adopted will test the legality of Its adoption on the ground that election officers have no right to count a ballot as a vote for the amendment unless the voter has made a cross opposite the word "For" on the ballot. The law Is a carefully revise statute and many attorneys be- love It In no way conflicts with pro visions of the constitution relating to elections or constltulonal amend ments. The law Is as follows : "If you wish to vote a straight tick et , make a mark In the circle at the top of the ballot to the right of the name of your party , and your ballot will then be counted for every candl date and as approval of party action on any constltulonal amendment of that party on the ballot. If you wish to vote otherwise than a straight tick et , make a cross In the square to the right of the name of each person for whom you wish to vote or for or against constituional amendment ; if you wish to vote a straight ticket with the exception of certain officers or constitutional amendments , place a cross In the circle nt the head of the ticket for which you wish to vote In the main , and then place a cross In the square to the right of the candl dates of the other parties for whom you wish to vote , or In the square to the right of the words 'for' or 'against any constitutional amendment.

Hays , P. M. GUTTER EDGES ARE TOO HIGH Columbus Engineer Inspects Norfolk Gutters Gravel Work. City Engineer Gutchoff of Columbus , who was in Norfolk today , Inspected the new cement gutters. He laid out the gutters at Columbus , after which the Norfolk gutters were patterned. Mr. Gutchoff expressed the opinion that the street edge on the gutters west of Fourth street is too high. "If Norfolk ever came to pave , ' said Mr. Gutchoff , "you would find that the center of the street , In order to give the necessary slant to the gutters tors , would be above the sidewalks This Is wrong. The center of the street should be about two Inches be low the sidewalks , but that would be Impossible with the edge of the gut ters so high. " This difficulty was noted by the clt > council at the last meeting , when It was ordered to drop the slant on gut ters east of Fourth street to four Inch na Instead of six. The committee recently appointed by the city council to Investigate the gravel situation In Norfolk , with a view to graveling streets , will visit the Raasch farm west of town on Friday of this week for the purpose of exam ining the gravel In that pit. If the gravel there is found to bo satisfac tory It Is possible that the city will la- vest In some of the material for the purpose of benefiting Norfolk streets. It Is the Intention of the city coun cil to fill In along the edge of the now cement gutters with a heavy layer of gravel , In order to prevent water seep ing down underneath the cement and thus cracking the gutters In the winter - tor time. No definite action has yet been tak en In regard to First street , although S It Is admitted on all hands that a good road to the Junction is a much needed affair in Norfolk right now. It is said that some of the property owners on Fourth street prefer to gravel that thoroughfare bot'ore First street la graveled. It Is argued by some of the city council that If the property own ers on Fourth street would contribute toward the movement , that proposi tion would be all right , but that on the other hand First street Is a coun ty road , so that county help could be enlisted In Its preparation and main tenance. The whole city seems to agree that a gravel road is needed between Nor folk and the Junction , however. Entertained Friends. Ben Bechtel entertained a few friends at the home of his uncle. Geo. B. Christoph , last night. Cards and other games were features of the even ing , after which refreshments were served. LITTLE RIPPLERS. ( Chicago News. ) Nero had just written an Important > message for the Roman senate. "Slave , " he thundered , "where Is the messenger boy I ordered two hours ago ? " "He Is on his way , " replied the trem bling slave , "but he has stopped be hind the forum a few minutes to read the wonderful adventures of 'Marcus , M the Llon-Chewer.

"I called , mum , " he announced , "be cause I found dls sample package of dyspepsia tablets down the road. " "Dyspepsia tablets ? " snapped the woman with the broom. "What have I to do with dyspepsia tablets ? " "Why , er I thought maybe you might give me something to eat dat would give me de dyspepsia so I could test dem.
