Many Leave Ministry.
A remarkable feature about the an
nual conference this year is the largo
number of ministers leaving the pro
fession to engage in commercial work.
There were a dozen wlib left the
North Nebraska conference. The rea
son assigned is the fact that ministe
rial salaries have not Increased in
proportion to the cost of living and
ministers find it impossible to keep
out of debt , making it necessary for
them to seek support In commercial
life.

Rev. E. D. King of North Bend , one
of the most popular young men of the
conference , goes into the furniture and

NO MONEY WITH WHICH TO FUR.
NISH THE BUILDING.
STATE BOARD IS IN QUANDRY
The State Board Hesitates About Us
ing More Money Than Was Appro
priated , Though the Institution Is
Crowded and Sorely Needs Room.
There are no funds available to fur
nish the new cottage of the Norfolk
hospital for Insane and word comes
from Lincoln that the state board of
public lands and buildings is In a
qimndry as to whether to create a de
ficiency by purchasing furniture nec
essary to furnish the sixty rooms of
the new building , which has just been
completed and accepted by the board.
It is thought that about $1,200 which
was appropriated for other purposes
might bo used legitimately for this
purpose , but that Is not enough. Sev
eral of the members of the board be
lieve they ought to contrive some way
to use no more money than has been
appropriated until the next r-ssion of
the legislature. If this phu is pur
sued by the board then the notv build
ing will not be In condition to receive
patients for six months yet , and this
in face of the fact that the hospital Is
now taking care of more than 200 pa
tients In rooms designed to accommo
date 150. It would seem that the con
ditions would Justify the state board
in incurring the deficiency , inasmuch
as it Is not by any means an unusual
proceeding under similar circum
stances.
A famous Wisconsin woman once
said , "All this poor earth needs Is just
the art of being kind. " Won't some
one be kind enough to propose Hollls-
tor's Rocky Mountain Tea ? It helps
to make people kind and well. Tea
or tablets , 35 cents. Ask your drug

TEN DAYS OR TWO WEEKS DE-
FORE ROAD IS REBUILT.
IMPOSSIBLE TO GET WORKMEN
SLOW PROGRESS BEING MADE
AGAINST DAMAGE BY FLOOD.
DESTRUCTION IS TREMENDOUS
Telegraph Poles Were Torn up by the
Roots Rebuilding Is Harder Than
k to Build Brand New Track Teams
-.Hauling Back Rails Through Mud ,
IFroir Wednesday's Dully. ]
There will bo no trains between
Norfolk and Sioux City < m the M. &
O. railroad for ten days or two weeks
at the earliest , according to Informa
tion which came to Norfolk this after
noon. The work of rebuilding the
washed out track is more dllllcult than
It would be to build a brand new
track , the railroad company llnds It
absolutely Impossible to got help at
the present wage offeicd for the work ,
and it will likely bo the first of Oc
tober before a train can run over the
shattered line. The destruction
wrought by the Hood Is Bald to have
been worse than man might Imagine.
Postmaster Denser of Hosklns tliovo
to Norfolk today to got provisions , and
ho described the tremendous havoc
created by the storm.
Where the Washouts Are.
"More than n mile of track was tak
en out between Hosklns and WliiHlde , "
said Mr. UeiiHor. "Between Wlnsldo
and Wayne a mlle of track and two
railroad bridges wcro washed out.
Between Wayne and Wakoflold two
miles of track are gone , and a big
stretch is gone between Wakoflold and
Emerson.
"Between Carroll and Wnyno there
are just three miles of track left. Six
of the nine miles wore washed out.
"South of Emerson there are sev
eral stretches washed out on the main
line of the road.
Telegraph Poles up by Roots.
"Telegraph poles wore pulled out
of the ground by the roots , " said Mr.
Denser. "Between Ilosklns and Wln
sldo a half mlle of track was lifted
from the roadbed and carried off 300
feet into a cornfield. The track acted
as a dragnet and caught the telegraph
poles as It rushed Into the field. The
poles were not broken off but , by the
terrific force of the water , were pulled
right out of the ground.
"The grade was not much damaged ,
though some sand was washed nrway
and there must be some rellllintr.
Men Won't Work.
"The difficulty about rebuilding is
the fact that the road can't Hurt men
to do the work. The company Is payIng -
Ing twenty cents an hour for this la
bor , and men refuse to w.ork for It.
There are only fifteen men at work
on the washout between 'Ilosklns and
WInslde. Beyond us , the Italians who
were working , threw down their shov
els in the rain and refused to do an
other lick. It is when they arc need
ed most that they get contrary.
Frightful Mess to Untagle.
"It is a frightful mess that has to
be untngled before the track can be
replaced. Whore the track was
washed out into the cornfields , you
can imagine what n job It is to wade
out In that slush and haul back the
misplaced rails and ties. Four teams
are at work near Hosklns , drawing
back the track as though it were so
much circus paraphernalia.
"And before the track can be re-
laid , it has to be taken all apart , so
that it is a worse job than it would
be to build a new line with new mate
rial. In spots the track stands up out
In the cornfield , and looks like a pick
et fence.
Men Look Like Drowned Rats.
"After the workmen had spent all
day out In the slush and rain on Tues
day , rebuilding the track , " said Mr.
Bensor , "they came Into town looking
like so muny drowned rats.
"They had been working out In the
muddy cornfields and under n soaking
rain , until they were completely cov
ered with the slime and slush. "
No Mall Since Saturday.
Towns between Emerson and Nor
folk Wayne-Wakeflold , Wlnsldo and
Hosklns as well as towns north of
Wayne on the Carroll branch , and
south of Emerson on the main line ,
have been practically shut off from
the world slucq last Saturday night.
Not a particle of mail has been re
ceived in any of them and telegraph
wires were down , so that the only
communication possible was by tele
phone.
/ Hosklns received mail this after
noon , however , as the work train ar
ranged to take over the first batch
since the flood.
"With the small force of men at
work , " said Mr. Benser , "It Is impos
sible for the train service to bo re
stored before ten days or two weeks. "
RARELY SO MUCH WATER IN FALL
Second Time In Twenty-five Years
That Water Washed Floors.
High water in the Northfork river
is subsiding. For n time , however , the
waters rose to a point seldom known
at this time of the year. The waters
cnmo up and washed over the first
floor of the Sugar City Cereal mills
and prevented the mill from running
for a "time. It was the second time
within twenty-five years that the wa
tor has washed ever the floor at this
soiiHon of the year.
During the hours when tha rlvor
ran full , It was Impossible to detect
the point whuro the nprou drops down
many foot fioni the dam. The rlvur
hanks , east of the dam , were over
flowed with water and the rlvor ran
along through the branches of trees
that ordinarily tower high and ntatoly
above the current.
BUILDING AT MADISON.
Number of Fine Structures nre Going

A number of flue buildings are going
up In Madison . Jens JOIIHOU Is build

Mall.
II. Frlcko IB putting up a two-story

pink sandstone.

ITALIANS REBUILDING RAILROAD
REFUSED TO TOIL ALL DAY.
ANOTHER INCH OF RAIN FELL
Present Indications are That , If the
Italians Will Work , the Train Ser
vice Might be Restored by Saturday.
Otherwise , Not so Soon.
Italian laborers at work rebuilding
the washed out tracks on the Omaha
road between Norfolk and Sioux City ,
refused to work In the rnln nil day
yesterday and the result was that not
a rail wan laid In the washout district
near Wnkeflold. The sixteen wlilto
men who compose the force of work
men under Foreman John Wright of
Norfolk , who arc working on the wash
out between Ilosklns and WInslde , la
bored nil day In the rain In an effort
to got the tracks rebuilt so that the
train service might be restored ns soon
as possible. It was said last night
that It might bo possible to got service
restored by Saturday , If the Italians
will work right along , but the clouds
looked like rain again this morning
and It was thought that , If the work
men continued In their policy of qull-
tlng every time the rain drops foil , It
might bo some days more before trains
could bo run between Norfolk and
Sioux City.
An Inch of Rain Fell Yesterday.
Almost another inch nine-tenths of
an Inch of rainfall was recorded again
yesterday and last night In Norfolk.
The rain kept up all day and most of
all night , and the country round alraut
was thoroughly soaked. This morning
the barometer bore fell from 30.01 to
20.84 , Indicating that another storm
was brewing , and the heavy atmos
phere corroborated the theory.
Elkhorn Is High.
A special from Neligh says that rnln
has been falling there almost contin
ually for the past twenty-four hours
and the Elkhorn river at that point is
higher than it has been In a number
of years for the month of September.
Noith western and Union Pacific
trains aio running on time , despite the
heavy rains , but If much more water
should fall , It Is said that service might
have to become much slower , because
of the softened condition of tracks.
MAN SAVES TWO LIVES.
Miss Brandt , a Society Belle , and Her
Escort Taken from River.
Sioux Falls , S. D. , Sept. 17. By his
iierolsm In saving two lives while In
Sioux Falls , B. Jensen , a traveling man
whoso home Is at South Omaha , has
placed himself in line for a Carnegie
! iero medal.
Jensen , by jumping Into the Sioux
river in this city , saved the lives of
Miss Maude E. Brandt , a Sioux Falls
belle , and Pearl Loefllcr , a. traveling
man.
Loefllor , In company with Miss
Brandt , was boating on the Sioux in n
rowboat when the little craft was run
Into by a gasoline launch which carries
passengers and excursion parties to
[ joints of interest In the vicinity. They
were soon struggling helplessly In the
rlvor.
Jensen , notwithstanding that It was
dark , the accident having occurred at
about 9 o'clock at night , leaped with-
all his clothing on , from the launch
Into the river.
When ho staggered up the bank af
ter the rescue ho was vigorously cheer
ed for his heroic work.
j.'Nol for $1,000 wduld I have made
the leap Into the river that Jensen
made , " remarked a gentleman who
was an eyewitness of the entire thrill
ing scene.

TO SETTLE BOYD COUNTY CASE.
Long Wrangle With Settlers May be
Ended Within Two Months.
Lincoln , Nob. , Sept. 19. In two
months , according to II. M. Ealon ,
commissioner of public lands and
buildings , Iho famous Boyd county land
cases will bo entirely settled by the
sale of the land to the scltlcis at Us
appropriate value. Mr. Eaton has just
returned from Boyd county , having
each parcel of land nnd become
acquainted with Us owner. The set
tlers have all acknowledged thai Iho
ownership of the land lloa with Iho
state and have made application for
Its purchase from Hie state ns the law
provides. The attorney general In be
half of the lessees , has made a motion
for a lohearing in the supreme court ,
and If It is refused , the land will bo
sold to tllo settlors.
This land has been In controversy
for ten years or more. It was origin
ally a part of a military reservation
and the present settlers were estab
lished before the land was surveyed.
The state was granted the privilege of
packing some land from this reserva
tion to replace school lands which had
boon patented to settlers while Ne
braska was a territory , and the lands
In question were selected by the com
missioner. When the settlers refused
to make appllcallon lo lease Iho land ,
claiming It under the national govern
ment , the stale leased It to the lessees ,
who are plaintiffs In the case.
The supreme court declared the
leases invalid , giving the settlers the
right to buy the land at its appraised
value.
Mr. Eaton declares Boyd county nev
er before had as great a crop ns It 1ms
this year. The yield In corn will be
Immense , ho says.
