" Before ho began his talk the lights In the church went out and did not come on again , as there was some trouble with that circuit , but lamps were placed In front of Mr , Nowens , so that the different expres sions of his face in presenting differ ent characters was not lost. The railway postofllco department has just placed an additional clerk entrains trains No. 1 and 2 , running between Norfolk and Chadron , because of the additional work caused by the new service of that train.

Several oral towns missed issues of The News owing to this extra work on the trains It was not the fault of the postal clerks , but the fault of the new condi tlon which had not yet been met l the department. Elmer Surber , wltr headquarters in Norfolk , has been ap pointed as ono helper.

MAJOR PENROSE UNDER FIRE. Army Officer Known In Norfolk Called on for Explanation. Major Ponroso , formerly nt Fort Nl- obrara , and known In Norfolk , who was In command of the battalion of colored troops at Brownsville , Is now .Hitler fire from the white house.

" The department has demand ed an explanation. If ho admits say- ng It , it Is said ho will probably ho courtmartlalled for criticising n su- lorior officer. Gilchrlst Stewart , colored , there to nvestlgatc facts , nuked him If that statement was for publication nnd ho said , according to Stewart , "It certain- y is. " General Nottleton , formerly assist ant secretary of the treasury , has just nvestigatcd the case at Brownsville and makes this report : The well attested evidence is that : ho colored troops were treated herewith with the same consideration that colored - ored soldiers of like bearing are treated - od In most garrison towns of the northern states. That on the other [ land the street conduct of some of them was often aggressively and causelessly insolent toward white men and women , and that there was no provocation for the murderous raid by the soldiers , unless It can be called a provocation that the drinkers among them were provided with separate bars In certain saloons and on two occa sions Individual insolence was resent ed by individual citizens , but one of whom happened to haVe boon a repub lican federal olllclal. There wab no "riot" and no street "rows , " as many newspapers persist In calling the oc currence. It was simply a most cow ardly conspiracy to terrify , wound nnd kill unoffending men , women and chil dren nt the hour of midnight , when defense was Impossible and was not even attempted. Evidently not an op posing shot was fired. MAKES PEACE WITH BAND. Manager Pedersen of Auditorium Shows Kindly Feeling.
