been received from Mr. Herrlck for
weeks and , although his last letter
stated that he had ordered three cars
of pipe shipped and that ho would bo
hero when the pipe arrived , It begins
to look as though that were merely a
"pipe" dream to stall off the city.
Beginning with Tuesday morning ,
November 1 , rural free delivery car
riers out of Norfolk will leave the
postofllco at 8:30 : o'clock In the mornIng -
Ing Instead of at 7:30 : , as has been the
custom for the past six months. Dur
ing the summer months the rural car
riers got up earlier in the morning
than they care to during the dark cold
days of frosty winler and so when the
sun begins to close down its working
gr'
hours In this vicinity the rural car
riers take the signal and begin later
In the day. They will now return to
the postofllco at 4:30 : in the afternoon
Inslead of at 3:30 : as heretofore. On
the first of next may they will resume
their old hours of 7:30 : and 3:30. :
Hallowe'en spirit pervaded the air
of Norfolk lasl night and the throwing
of corn , tbe soaping of windows nnd
other such pastimes were Indulged In
by the younger sot. Tonight It Is be
lieved that "there will bo something
doing < 1 , " and the live extra pollco , bo-
Hide the regular force , will keep on the
alert to niuUt- any arrests possible. A
number ' of llalloweu'en purtleH lire
booked I : for tonight. It in ald In HOIIIO
pnrta of ton windows were broken by
youths who threw sUmu , clods of
dirt , stlckH , cabbage and other ml -
alien. Ono boy who wan HCOII soaping
windows was asked why ho was soap
ing I windows , remarked , "Well , don't
ye want 'om to wash their winders
onct a year ? "
The work of digging lll ° U'K ' nmv
itch to drain Corporation gulch goes
u rapidly though tbo sticky earth la
inking Rome trouble In the plowing as
ho knlfo does not scour perfectly
lean. A little sunshlno will [ ml Iho
, lrt in better shape for tbo work. Con-
factor Dlxon has sixteen horsea draw-
ng the big county road grailur and el-
> vntor and the path of the ditch bo-
ween KoenlgBteln avenue and Madl-
on avenue , across Norfolk avenue , and
breo plowlngs deep have been dug
bus far. The county Is receiving llvo
onts a load for loading the wagons of
street Commissioner Rlcboy and the
street commissioner has ten teams al
vork hauling Ibis dirt and tilling up
ho ditch on South Thirteenth street.
This work IB a little slow because Iho
lltch is so deep that tbo teams have
to bo unhitched every time a load of
llrl Is dumped , because of the extreme
leplh and narrowness of Iho ditch.
Several Norfolk men are just now
ntercstod In tbo construcllon of r
skating pond somewhere In towi
where small children and the growr
folks may go and spend n few hours
skating during the long wlnlor even
Ings without the fear of breaking
through Iho Ice and calchlng a severe
cold or probably being drowned , wblcl
Is the case very often. Several boys
have already begun making a pond 01
Ibo lots at the corner of Phillip avcnu
and Third street , where they expect tc
organize n hockey learn this winter ,
If something could bo done about thl
matter In making ono for children OB
pecially it would allow many who can
not go to the ponds and sloughs when
the water Is deep to try their nov
skates after Chrlslmns. II would als
remove all worry nnd anxlely from pa
rents who expect any inlnulo to hca
of their children breaking through nn
being drowned. To promolo Iho mak
Ing of a pond , n subscrlpllon should b
laken among Ibo people who are Inter
ested to defray the expense of inakln
It nnd Hooding It every night.
FRATERNITY BUILDING IS ONE
SUGGESTION MADE.
QUARTERS SAID TO BE SCARCE
Some of the Members of Fraternal O
ders In the City are Discussing th
Advisability of Erecting a Building
Due to Odd Fellows' Move.
A fraternlly building lo accommo
dale al leasl fourteen fraternal lodge 3
In Norfolk may be built as the resul I
of the decision of the Odd Fellows t
close their rooms on the second lloo
of the Odd Fellows building to all o
ders excepting their own. The Urn
limit when the fourteen lodges whlc !
now rent lodge quarters from the Od
Fellows , expires , Is the first of nex
April and many of the members of va
rlous orders have been conslderln
during the past few days the advisa
blllty of clubbing together and bulli
Ing a fraternlly building for this pu
pose.
Such a building exists at Lincoln
having been built about four years ago
While nothing dellnlte 1ms been po
slblo In connccllon with such a pro
ject , It Is said that many of those wh
belong to orders now renting , are Ir
teresled In Ihe plan and are Inleres
Ing others In It.
The lack of other quarters In th
city Is ono of the perplexing problem
which have led to this suggestion o :
the part of some of the lodgemen.
DRUG STORE CHANGES HAND :
A. H. Klesau Retires , Dr. Brush an
Herman Klesau Succeed.
The Klesau drug store change

A. H. Klesau has been acllvely engaged
gaged In Iho drug business in Norfol

nent citizen of this section who was
well known all over north Nebraska ,
died at his homo three miles southwest

TEMPERANCE IS THE GREAT PO
LITICAL ISSUE THERE.
STATE LARGELY PROHIDS NOW
United States Senatorshlp Election In
the Blue Grass State Will be Won or
Lost on Tompcrnncc Isnuc F.nch
Candidate Claims Credit.
Louisville , Ky. , Oct. Si. The An-
c.leut Mariner walled In inolrluitl mea
sure :
"Water , water everywhere , nor anj
drop to drink. "
Tbo Ancient Keiilucklans may truth
fully sol up his lament :
"Whisky , whisky everywhere , but the
hull stale's going dry. "
There are liM distilleries In the tilt
counties of Kentucky , sonielhlng over
Iwo distilleries for each county. Al
tbo same time SI of these 111) ) conn-
ties are as dry as the desert of Sa
hara. The sale of liquor In them has
been voted down. Of Iho remaining
IIS , there are 'M thai have a solitary
saloon to furnish an oasis to the thir
sty Konlucklans within their borders.
And there Is no county In Kentucky ,
not .Icfforsoii , the homo of Ixniluvlllo ,
nor Fayolto , the homo of Lexington ,
nor Franklin , tbo home of Frankfort ,
thai Is altogether wet. Kuch county
has Its dry precincts where the hosts
of temperance have gained a foothold.
I5voii llonrbon county has only two
damp precincts to keep It from alto
gether belying Its name.
To add to this paradoxlal state of
affairs , the race for United States sen
ator Is being conducted with temper
ance as the Issue. Gov. Beckham and
Senator McCreary are not knocking
the top out of the barrel and hanging
up tin dippers for the thlrsly , as was
the custom In Kentucky politics of a
bygone nnd damper day. Instead , they
are fairly deluging ono another with
cold water. Each Is claiming to bo
the original blue ribbon candidate.
McCreary has gone back to the tlmo
when ho was governor to show thai bo
was Iho Ilrst to start tonipcranco log-
Islallon In Kentucky. Beckham points
to the fact thai ho Ilrst landed square
on a temperance platform , and points
also to the county null bill and oilier
temperance measures bo put through
the last legislature , with the fact thai
he slapped Ihe Sunday lid on Louls-
vlllo and Lexington.
All this goes lo demonstrate what
Kentucklans have long realized that
there Is a remarkable spread of tem
perance In Kentucky and II Is not al
all Improbable , but highly probable ,
thai before many years Kenlucky will
become absolutely dry.
Meanwhile the 2511 distilleries con
tinue to turn out the slinon pure ar
ticle for consumption at homo and
abroad. And It must not be Imagined
the Kcnlucklan has ceased consuming
it. The old-fashioned Kentuckian
sticks to his toddy , mint julep , or
"straight llcker , " while the rising gen-
oration shows an Inclination toward
the highball and tbe mixed drinks of
civilization. There Is no law to pre
vent a man keeping a supply of liquor
in a dry country , and there's many a
moist sideboard in them.
Bnl Imagine a man from the east ,
north , south or west , striking a Ken
tucky town and , after registering at
the Commercial hotel , asking the clerk
where he could get a drink of real
Kentucky whisky , nnd having the clerk
answer , "Can't gel a drop lo drink in
this town ; il's dry. "
The chances are Iho slrnnger would
go to tbe depot and ask what time
the next train left for Kentucky.
The democratic nomination for
United States senator Is to bo made
November C , In a democratic primary
held on the day of the general elec
tion. McCreary and Beckham , the
candidates , are making their final ef
forts towards catching the temperance
vote. The McCreary managers have
atlempled lo split Bcckham's lemper-
anco forces by springing a Icller , sup
posed lo have been wrlllcn by an ofll-
clal high in Beckham's favor , In which
ho makes the statement that the Beck-
hamltes had worked both the temper
ance nnd liquor people on the recent
legislation. The Beckham people In
dignantly repudiate the letter as a
forgery.
Thus It happens that Kentucky Is
at ono nnd the same tlmo one of the
wettest and ono of the driest spots on
earth , that she seems to bo trying to
banish ono of her time-honored Insti
tutions and that she Is knocking out
Iho country's cherished Illusion that
Kentucky Is ono region that Is always
soaked.
The Kentucky grand lodge of Ma
sons , at their meeting last week , adopt
ed a resolution , barring from admit
tance Into any lodge any one engaged
In the manufacture or sale of splrltous ,
vinous or malt liquors.
