POPULAR MADISON DOCTOR AT
HEAD OF STATE ASSOCIATION.
MADISON COUNTY IS HONORED
Dr. Long Has Been a Practitioner in
This County for Nearly a Quarter
of a Century and Stands High In His
Profession.
The board of councillors of the No-
hruskn State Medical association bold
a speclnl meeting In Lincoln Tuesday
afternoon at the olllco of the secretary ,
Dr. A. D. Wilkinson. The principal
business for which the mooting wns
called was that of determining upon
a successor to President Dr. J. L.
Greene , who recently removed from
the state.
Dr. P. A. Long of Madison was se
lected by the board. The board also
recommended unanimously that during
the absence of Dr. Wilkinson from the
stnte this winter the Incoming presi
dent should appoint Dr. II. WInnetl
Orr to be acting secretnry.
Those present nt the meeting wore :
Dr. Wilkinson of Lincoln , Dr. J. P.
Ixird of Omnha , Dr. A. B. Anderson of
Pawnee , Dr. L. W. Shaw of Osccola ,
Dr. W. R. Young of Ansley , Dr. P. H.
Salter of Norfolk.
This Is the first time in the history
of the state medical organization that
the presidency has been held In this
part of the stnte. In fact only three
or four physicians in the north Pintle
country nnd outside of Omaha have
had the honor of presiding over the
state medical association.
Dr. F. A. I-iong wns born In North
ampton county , Pa. , In 1859 , came west
in early manhood , graduated from Iho
medical department of the Iowa State
university in 1SS2 and soon after lo
cated In Mndlson and has practiced
there continuously ever since.
Dr. Uing is essentially a self mndoj
nan , having worked his way through
ollego , nnd struggled through ninny
Hardships as a young physician , In his
efforts to gain a foothold , twenty and
more > ears ago. By persistent and
strict attention to business he has ac
quired n medical nnd surgical prac
tice snob ns It fnlls to the lot of few
"country doctors" to enjoy.
Dr. Long wns one of the organizers
of the Elk-horn Valley Medical society
nnd bns for some years been its sec
retary. Ho has also been native in
state medical society matters for the
past fifteen years , and this activity
won him the present honor , which ,
however , came to him wholly unsought
and unexpected.
Dr. P. H. Sailor , councillor for this
district , wns present nt the meeting
and had much to do with the election
of Dr. Long.

BUT THE CONTRACTOR HAS NOT
PUT IN AN APPEARANCE.
BONDS WERE NOT PURCHASED
The Contract With O. P. Herrlck Spe
cifically States That the Work Shall
Not Begin Later Than Today What
Will be Done With the Bonds ?
fl'Voni Friday's Dnlly.1
Today IB the Inst day . -Mowed by
Hie contract with O. P. Herrlck of
Des Molncs , sewer builder , for the be
ginning of work on the construct Ion
of Norfolk's now sowar , but Mr. Her
rlck has not yet put In an appearance
to begin work. Labor dllllculllcs and a
scarcity of men Is assigned by some1
of the city olllclals hero as Iho prob-
ahlo cause , though not a word IIUH
been hoard from Mr. Horrlck. The
contract specifically provides thai
work shall begin nol Inter than the
llrsl day of September and that the
sewer shall be finished not later than
the fifteenth of December.
II Is said Unit men are a scarce ar
ticle all over the country , nnd thai
this la Iho probable cause for Iho de
lay.
lay.Tho
The contract provides thai , In case
provisions nro not carried out , the
contract may bo re-let by the city
council , but It IR not considered prob
able thai this action will result.
Bonds Were Not Bought.
Yesterday was the lasl day allowed
for bids on Ibo $10,000 sewer bonds
bill nobody wanted to take them at
four percent Interest , and a puzzle has
resulted. Mr. Horrlck , the contractor ,
bus agreed to take the bonds up to
the amount of his contract , which will
bo somewhere In the neighborhood of
$ ! ! 5,000 though It depends upon the
nature of things after the work Is en
tered Into but just whal to do with
the rcsl of Iho bonds is Iho problem
lhal Is now perplexing Ihe clly author-
llles. The flooding of Iho country with
bonds because of San Francisco's dls-
nslor Is hold responsible for the lack
of a bid. It Is contrar > lo law lo of
fer them at a premium , so that no one
seems lo offer a solution out of the
quandary.

[ From Saturday's Dally. ]
A world's record was brpken al But

IIo had gone a mile in Norfolk In 2:20 :
Hat , which wns the best record ever
made In the world by n drlvcrless
trotter up to thai time.
Surcna Is said to be the only guide-
loss trotlor lu the United States to

ers , but he is the only reinless ani
mal which trols. He would nol be

dentally. Soon after the Albion horse
man suicided about the middle of July ,
one of his horses was being displayed
In an effort to sell him ns n guldeless
peformer. Kennedy saw the display.
"If my horse can't beat that , I'll
kill him , " said Kennedy.
And forthwilh Surcna was tried out
as n guidelcss wonder. He made good
the first time In 2:30. : Then he wns
brought to Norfolk and Nellgh nnd
Battle Creek. He does this trick twice
n week , nnd races in the meanwhile.
Ills owners say they will slop racing
him.

RENT PAYS FOR LAND.
Fertile Sections of the Southwest ,
Where Land Sells for $15 and
Rents for $5 Per Aero.
One of the remarkable things about
eastern Arkansas nnd northern Louis
iana Is the fact that cleared land rents
for $5 per acre cash , and can be bought
for $7.50 to $1G per acre. It costs
from $ G to $10 an acre to clear It.
Other Improvements necessary are
slight and inexpensive.
The soil is rich alluvial , or made. It
produces a bale of cotton per acre ,
worth $45 to $ CO. This accounts for
Its high rental value. Other crops ,
such ns corn , small grains , grasses ,
vegetables and fruits thrive ns well.
Alfalfa yields 4 to C cuttings , a ton
to a cutting , and brings $10 to $1G per
ton.
ton.In
In other sections of these states ,
and In Texas as well , the rolling or
hill-land is especially adapted to stock
raising and fruit fanning. Land Is
very cheap , $5 to $10 per aero ; Im
proved farms $10 $15 to $25 per acre.
The new White river country offers
many opportunities for settlers. High ,
rolling , fine water It Is naturally
adapted to stock nnd fruit raising.
Can be bought as low as $3 per acre.

The Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain

Gas at Tekamah.
While drilling for a well on the Pe
