An unusually largo number of cases
of Illness of one form and another have
boon the record In Norfolk during the

cause for the epidemic.
The only polo which stood In the
path of the content gutters Is today
being removed back of the curb line.
The pole stood In front of the Johnson
dry goods store and could not bo re
moved then on account of the many
wires which would have had toho ,
transferred at the time. Things have
been so arranged now that it can bo
moved with perfect safety.
It has been found by the city coun
cil , In looking up the contract which
was made with O. P. Horrlck for the
building of the sewer in Norfolk , that
the time limit for the finished work la
December 15 Instead of November 15 ,
as waa the impression. Therefore the
contractor has a few weeks yet to go
on the contract. None of the twenty-
one inch plpo has aa yet been received ,
though reported shipped from Kansas
City.
City.What
What , arc Norfolk fraternal orders
which have been holding meetings in
the Odd Fellows hall , going to do after
the llrst of next April ? That la a ques
tion which is just now perplexing
many a member of Norfolk fraternal
organtxatloiis and as yet the query has
not been answered. Several of the
orders have held meetings , but none
baa as yet come to a conclusion as to
what may bo done. Among the devel
opments of the week was a circular
letter sent to various orders which
will bo out of a lodge room , by A .J.
Dur'land. Mr. Durland Is offering the
second lloor of the Olney building on
Norfolk nvonuo and It may bo that
this room will solve the problem. Sev
eral other second story rooms have
been under consideration , but none
haa been definitely settled upon.
TREMENDOUS PROSPERITY.
Commercial Travelers Say That Condi
tions Could Not be Better.
Business conditions out over the
country could not bo better , according
to commercial travelers who arrived
in Norfolk to spend Sunday. The
abundant harvests , the plentiful money
and the high prices on all commodities
have tended to put things in an Ideal
condition , they say.
"Things simply could not bo bettor , "
said Ben Held , who has returned from
an extended trip out through the north
west. "People do not realize what a
high tide of prosperity wo are enjoy
ing. Commodities in all lines are at
the top notch , working men are receiv
ing high wages and the crops are tre
mendous. It has never been better. "

SENATOH GAMBLE SAYS THEY
WILL TALK TO NORFOLK.
NOT TO UTILIZE OLD GRADE
Norfolk's Co-operation to Push the New
North and South , Yankton-Gulf Railroad -
road , Will be Asked by the Promot
ers , According to Senator.
[ From Monday's Dally..1
It Is not contemplated to use the old
Yankton , Norfolk & Southwestern rail-
A-ay grade , between Norfolk and Yank-
ton , for the newly Incorporated Yank-
ton & Southern , according to a loiter
received by The News from United
States Senalor Robert J. Gamble in an-
awor to n query touching this point.
Senator Gamble writes that the com
pany has not fully determined upon Ha
program but says ho la confident that
the representatives will , n lltlle later ,
come In touch with the people of Nor
folk and ho says that the company will
bo very glad to have the co-opernllon
of Norfolk In Iho undertaking. "I do
not understand that it Is contemplated
to utilize the old Yankton & Norfolk
grade , " ho adds.
Concerning the project the Yanklon
Press and Dakolan anya :
For the second tlmo In the history
of Iho town , Ynnkton has at present
nn excellent prospect of securing a
southern outlel by rail , which of
course means a bridge spanning the
Missouri river nt or near this point.
Fremont Hill , who la associated with
Senator Gamble , Isaac Piles and W.
Fantlo and caslorn capitalists in the
Yankton & Southern railroad , for
which articles of Incorporation have
been filed at Pierre , Informed the
Yankton Commercial association that
the company was in position to con
struct a bridge across the Missouri
rlvor at this point and build a standard
guago steam railroad south , almost as
the crow Hies , to a point In Texas
where It will tap one of the three lines
leading to the Galveston port. The
feature of his announcement which
will bo of especial Importance , aside
from the fact that the company intends
to build , is that the property owners In
Yankton who will be , If the road la
constructed , immensely benefited , will
not bo asked for one cent of bonus un
til the bridge is constructed and the
road in operation between Yankton
and Galveston. Then the citizens of
the "molhor city" of the Dakotas , will
be asked lo give the company a booat
by donating 50 per cent , of a bonua of
$100,000. When the rails of the projected -
jected Yankton & Southern reach a
point In Texas where they tap the
rails of a line making conneclion with
the great gulf port , Yankton will be
expected to come forward with the re
maining 50 per cent , of the bonua ,
which is unusually small when the
benefits to bo derived are considered.
The company binds Itself to complete
the entire line and secure the gulf out
let before the expiration of the year
1910.
The Bridge Charter.
The charter for the conslruction of
a bridge across the Missouri at this
point was secured by Senator Gamble
during the last session of the national
congress , the charter being secured in
the name of the Winnipeg & Gulf Rail
road company.
Senator Gamble does not care to
discuss details , but he has great con
fidence in the men behind the project
and therefore has reason to believe
that the road will be built and operat
ed in duo time.
The Bridge.
The bridge which the Yankton &
Southern Is to construct will In all
probability span the river at the point
about two miles west of Yankton se
lected some years ago for the crossing
of the Yankton and Norfolk line. Ac
cording to the contract which both the
company and the representative busi
ness men of the town have signified a
willingness to enter into , the bridge
In addition to the railroad track , will
bo equipped with both wagon and foot
bridges for the accommodation of the
Cement City's Nebraska farmer
friends.
The Future of the Road ,
No one can deny that such a road
would bo n good business proposition ,
and a gilt edged one. The projected
route taps the center of the richest
and largest agricultural section of the
world. Gradually the grain receipts in
the Chicago and New York grain mar
kets is decreasing and the receipts at
Kansas City and Galveston are Increas
ing accordingly. Unquestionably there
is a great future for the road and In
the event of Its construction Ynnkton
will be born again. Yankton will be
come the gathering point for the ex
port grain of the great northwest. The
grain market alone should make it a
little Chicago. The railroad shops and
kindred industries would make It a
little Pittsburg ; the additional railroad
facilities should assist the brewery in
making it a little Milwaukee , the busi
ness men In making it the wholesale
center of the western portion of the
Northwest , the Western Portland Ce
ment company In making It the leading
market for that product ; and the re-
tall men would have a chance to com *
pete with the established markets.
Packing houses , factories , and other
Industries would nccruo to the town in
due tlmo.
The Men Behind the Deal.
President Hill Is assured of ample
capital if the towns along the project
ed route do the right thing. Private
inquiries as to the standing of the
eastern men who are associated with
Mr. Hill and the local gentlemen In
the incorporation , indicate that they
are gentlemen of position in their re
spective communities and are regarded
by competent authorities ns capable of
carrying to n successful conclusion any
enterprise In which they may bccomu
Interested. Hon. Bnrtlott Trlpp , who
Is one of the well Informed men of the
country and who enjoya the confidence
of many of the big men of the cast
and Is known so well in South Dakota
that further remarks are not ncces-
aary , Is of the opinion that even If
eastern men wore not at present inter-
esled Ihoy and their money would bo
attracted as soon as the right-of-way .is
secured and other preliminary matters
arranged. He , llko Senator Gamble
and others , who are acquainted with
the situation , la moat favorably 1m-
presaed with the future of auch n road
(
and Is sure that the stock would find a
quick market among substantial In
vestors , v.
Action of Commercial Association.
At the meeting of the directors of
the Yanklon Commercial association
held this morning with President Hill ,
of the Ynnkton Southern Railway Co. ,
a commltleo , conslsllng of J. T. Me-
Vay , J. W. Smilh and E. O. Walgron ,
were appointed by the directors of the
Commercial association to confer with
President Hill and his attorneys , Gam
ble , Trlpp & Holman , In the drafting
of contract in regard to the bonus men-
loncd in the foregoing and In which
he company is not disposed to oven
iisk an undue advantage. The rights
; if the citizens will bo most carefully
IH'otcclcd and overylhing Is being done
In nn open and above board manner ,
as il has nothing to fear from the
"Ight of day.
POLICEMAN 'WILLIAMS ' INJURED
Drunken Man , Stumbling , Carries Of
ficer to Ground Heavily.
A. C. Williams , special policeman ,
while taking a drunken prisoner to Jail
ast night , sustained a dislodged elbow
when the prisoner stumbled on an un
even sidewalk and fell to the ground ,
carrying Williams with him. The of
ficer's arm , which had been clasped
about the waist of the prisoner , was
pinned underneath the fellow's weight
ind was so severely wrenched that the
liones were dislodged. The injury was
pronounced by Dr. Pllger as much
more serious than a break.
Williams was cscorllng William
Dodd , an old fisherman and hunter bet
ter known about town aa "Daniel
Boone , " to jail for the night. Dodd
was so very much all in that he had to
be pretty nearly carried by the officer.
When the policeman , with his bur-
ilen in hand , atruck an uneven side
walk a few rods from the jail door the
insecure feet of Dodd tripped against
the obstacle and down he went. Wil
liams was unable to extricate himself
In the fall.
Injured so as to be unable to further
