GAMBLE SURE OF ELECTION.
ieport That a Plot Is Being Hatched
Against Him Is Denied.
Sioux Falls , S. D. . Nov. 12. Dls-
mtchi's fiom Sioux City purporting to
; lvo facts concerning the senatorial
Ituatlon In South Dakota , In which
t was stated that the stalwart repub-
leans had elected forty-two members
) f the legislature and the democrats
twenty-eight , and that a combination
tnoun the stalwarts and democrats
night defeat Senator Oamblo for re-
let-lion , created astonishment and
wuro the subject of ridicule In qtmr
ers hero , which are well Informed , as
o Um true senatorial situation. The
facts are the democrats have elected
only llfteon members of the leglsla
[ tire , and no combination for the de
feat of Senator Gamble Is possible.
Senator Gamble will receive practical
ly every one of the 117 republican
votes In the legislature.
There Is not the slightest doubt that
Ito will have In the neighborhood of
100 majority on Joint ballot , and II
will be found that his majority will
not vary over two or three votes from
that figure. This Is assured by the
fact that In most cases where the
members-elect were not bound by the
legislative conventions personal pledg
es of support have been given the sen
utor.

A good sl/ed audience laughed and
oared at the comical situations pre
sented by the Griffiths , hypnotists , at
ho Auditorium last night. A number
) f youths from around town were tak
en upon the stage as subjects and the
vork upon these subjects gave up-
oarlous fun to the crowd. Prof , Grlf-
llth was declared to bo the equal of
my hypnotist who has yet visited
Norfolk.
Boys who were used as subjects
vero made performers in a circus
with fun as the result. A woman
s hypnotised Into the rigid state
mil , with her neck resting on the back
if one chair and her feet on another ,
she sustained the weight of three men
who stood upon her.
Youths under the Influence of the
lypnotist were ordered to blow out
the electric lights. They blew with
ill their might and one lad , becoming
nragod because his light would note
; o out , kicked a half dozen globes to
pieces before he could bo checked.
One of the most Interesting per
formnnccs was given by Prof. Griffith
on the street yesterday afternoon at
I o'clock when a committee composed
of Fred Karo , Chas. Rice , J. W. Ran
Bom. George W. Evans , Chas. Benedict ,
M. Best and F. A. Blnkeman took a
carriage and drove about the city for
several blocks , returning soon to the

small pocket knife in n boot that was
on display In front of the store. They
then returned to the starting point In
front of Hall's bookstore and Prof.
Griffith , who had been kept In seclu
slon by a committee composed of
Best and Evans , was brought out
blindfolded and given the reins. He
started the team of four at a break
neck speed with the committee accom
panylng him In the carriage. His only
Instructions were that the men who
did the driving should keep their
minds centered on the course they
had taken , and the others should think
of the place where the knife was hid
den. He first turned at the corner ol
Norfolk avenue and Third , went south
one block , turned down Madison to
Second street and then went one
block south. Hero he halted saying
that ho had lost the route. He tolt
them to think about nothing but the
place ho had missed. Ho then turned
the team around , went back a short
vny and turned up Phillip avenue ,
hen up Third street passing Norfolk
ivoinio and on up to Braasch. Hero
10 turned and wont east to North Second
end street and nouth again to Norfolk
ivoiuio where ho turned and went up

CONTEST IN BROWN COUNTY.
Carlln May Not be Elected to Legisla
ture.
AInsworth , Neb. , Nov. 12. It is like
ly that there will bo a contest over the
election In the Fifty-first representa
tive district , the official canvass of
the votes gave Carlln , democrat , sev
enteen over Coryoll , republican. It Is
claimed that there were many mis
takes In the counting of the ballots.
For instance in one precinct two bal
lots show that the voters made the
cross at the top indicating a desire to
vote the straight republican ticket ,
going on down to the representative a
cross was made opposite the blank
line , these votes were not counted for
Coryell and It was claimed that they
should have been. The district Is nom
inally republican by about three bun
dred. Rock county gave Cnrlln 101
majority. A prominent Rock county
republican says "there were dlscrepan
cles In several precincts which cannot
bo accounted for from any reasonable
standpoint , and In my judgment Gary-
ell 1ms not less than fifty majority and
a contest will show It. " Coryell will
go to Rock county tomorrow and If ho
finds conditions there to warrant ac
tion a contest will bo brought.

SONGS VERY MUCH ALIKE.
Henry Van Dyke and Mr. Zimmerman
Write Stanzas That arc Alike.
It has transpired In Norfolk that
two men have recently written now
stanzas for the song , "America , "
which are very nearly alike. One ol
these was printed in these columns a
few days ngo , and the other has been
dug out of an old Outlook , printed
last year , by D. Mnthowson. Last
year's production was written by Hen
ry Van Dyke and the other version is
from the pen of M. V. Zimmerman.
It looks very much as though Mr.
Zimmerman had made over the stan
zas prepared by Mr. Van Dyko.
Following are the words by Mr. Van
Dyke :
I love thine inland seas ,
Thy groves and giant trees ,
Thy rolling plains ;
Thy rivers' mighty sweep ,
Thy mystic canyons deep ,
Thy mountains wild and steep ,
All thy domains.
Thy silver eastern strands ,
Thy Golden Gate that stands
Fronting the west ;
Thy flowery southland fair ,
Thy sweet and crystal air
0 , land beyond compare ,
Thee I love best.
Following are the words by Mr. Zim
merman :
I love thy inland sens ,
Thy sweet magnolia trees ,
Thy palms and pines ,
Thy canyons wild and deep ,
Thy prairies' boundless sweep ,
Thy rocky mountains steep ,
Thy matchless mines.
I love thy silvery strands ,
Thy Golden Gate that stands
Afront the west ,
Thy sweet and crystal air ,
Thy sunshine everywhere
O land beyond compare ,
I love thee best !
SALOON MEN SAY IT IS UNFAIR
Suggestion of H. E. Owen Is Not Con
sidered Practicable.
It Is not at all sure that the views
of H. E. Owen , In which ho suggests
fewer saloons , higher license and side
street locations , will , in their entirety ,
meet the approval of all of the men
engaged in the business in Norfolk
Just now. Most of them agree that a
smaller number of saloons in Norfolk
would benefit those who were left ,
but none will venture to suggest n
method of cutting down the number.
Most of these men believe that mov
ing to side streets would be Imprac
ticable and point out the fact that
Norfolk and Wayne are two entirely
different cities , of different type , of
different size and that it is not fair to
compare the two.
"What would Norfolk do with the
twelve vacant buildings on Main
street ? " is asked. "There are no
stores ready to take them and this
would mean a loss to the property
owners. The saloons pay good rent.
Furthermore , there are no buildings
on side streets which would ho suit
able. "
In case the license were raised , said
one man , It would bo only fair to al
low the places to stay open all night.
"As long as wo run in orderly fashIon -
Ion , " said another , "it would seem un
fair to freeze anybody out. That
would mean a loss to whomever was
forced to quit by the reduction of
numbers.
Some were not Inclined to be quot
ed. P. M. Barrett said : "Less sa
loons , $1,000 license , no breweries to
control the saloons , no druggist per
mits and leave location wherever
wanted until such time should come
that they could bo worked around to
sldo streets. "
J. Weldenfeller said : "I think this
Is a free country and each man should
do what ho sees fit. "
It was apparent that Mr. Owen's
suggestion was not looked upon as n
practical one in nil details.
EZEKIEL ROWLETT DEAD
Old Settler of Madison County Expires
Suddenly.
fFrom Saturday's nully. ]
Ezeklel Rowlett , one of the old set
tlers of Madison county , expired sud
denly at his homo southwest of War
norvlllo shortly before noon from heart
failure. It wns announced that the
funeral would bo hold Monday nt 11
o'clock In the house , the burial to bo

Mr. Rowlott had been slightly under
the weather since last Tuesday , but
It was not thought that his condition
was serious. Just before noon ho was
lying on n couch. Ho complained of
a pain In his sldo and the next mo
ment had succumbed.
Mr. Hewlett was about novent > -
three years of ngo. He came to Mad

and had resided on his homestead ,
southwest of Warnorvlllo ever since.
Ho Is survived by n widow and seven
children.
SCHOOL HOURS ARE SHORT.
West Point Board of Education Re-
celves New Complaint.
West Point , Neb. , Nov. 12. At the
last mooting of the school board of
West Point It was shown to the board
that while the nominal length of the
period of tuition dally Is supposed to
bo six hours that the actual time de
voted to study Is only four and one-
half hours. The lost tlmo has been
taken up by fifteen minutes' allowance
being given nt niul after the noon re
cess and a further fifteen minutes be
fore the close of school. These , with
the time used In the opening and clos
ing exorcises , recess , etc. , make the
actnnl school day only four and one-
half hours of actual study. The board
has taken steps to remedy this state
of affairs.
The political complexion of the Cum-
Ing county board of supervisors re
mains unchanged by the result of the
last election , namely , four democratic
and three republican members. The
members re-elected are : First dis
trict , Munderloh ; Third district , Ken-
ewer ; Fifth district , Sass ; Seventh
district ( West Point city ) , Dill.
"Farmer" Brian.
Albion , Neb. , Nov. 12. Special to
The News : The election returns of
Boone county show that Hon. Lawsou
G. Brian carried the county hy COO
votes in his candidacy for the office of
state treasurer. This being Mr. Bri
an's home county the people fool that
they have been honored by an oppor
tunity to vote for one of their favorite
sons for n state office and consequent
ly he ran 300 votes ahead of his tick
et. Mr. Brian was a farmer on his
land In Dublin precinct when ho was
prevailed upon by his neighbors to
run for the office of county commis
sioner and after serving in that capac
ity for several years ho was elected to
the office of county treasurer for two
terms by the best majorities of any
man on the republican ticket. He
then bought a farm adjoining Albion
and had settled down to live among
his friends and neighbors as "Farmer"
Brian when the people again asked
him to run for office and this time , it
being a state office , ho felt that he-
would comply with the requests and
with the assistance of his many friends
secured the nomination at the repub
lican state convention. Today ho was
seen going down the streets of. Albion
with a load of potatoes for market so
that It is evident that although he has
met success he is Htlll the same "Los"
that his friends so admire.
