by an ccllpso of the moon In the per
son of Judge Bo > d , In evening dress ,
blacked up n la coon , with wool to
match , and ho looked Hko the longest
coon that ever came down the pike.
At the foot of the stairs a smooth ,
slick , comfortable looking Xenegambi-
an was stationed , and on closer in
spection one discovered Manager J.
W. Splrk. of Nellgh mills fame. On
arriving at the cloak room horror of
horrors ! the guests were asked to
go up against the worst of all. for
there In all hldeousnoss , with a circu
lation of air equal to a cyclone , In
constant motion stood Win. Wolfe in
ft blaze of ebony glory.
As the guests assembled In the par
lor , juht as the hour of the banquet
f arrived , singing could be heard In the
distance , drawing nearer until It
reached the double doors separating
the banquet room from the guests , and
'on the doors being thrown back , a
darky chorus consisting of Mesdames
Boyd , Splrk , Wolfe. Auringer and Huff
man wore standing , blacked up , mid

Judge Boyd acted as toastmaster ,
and elicited frequent applause by his
comical allusions to Iho speakers ,
Judge Jackson spoke on the "Green
Sycamore. " As Ills Honor was never
al n meeting of the club , on account
of being away , ho spoke of Iho molding
of the finished product from the raw
malerlnl , aiid said If there were any
present who thought ho could not tell
the llnlHhed product when ho saw It ,
he would give them an example do
faeto before ho left.
Ex-Mayor Huffman on the subject ,
"Coons In General , " said that when
told ho would be called on ho felt like
Lee Worthner did when out on a limb
- afraid ( he other follow was going to
"call him" Hpoko of coons of Indiana ,
various varieties , both biped and quad
ruped , In his usual comical happy man
ner , bringing forth applause from the
nigger gallery. Ills Honor Mayor Jen
kins gave a resume of the Individual
members of tlio club , there being or
ators , artists , lightning calculators ,
butchers and bakers and candlestick
makers , and the way "Jcnks" told It
would make a horse laugh. B. J. Ry
an chose as a subject an original fable
entitled "Tho Club of Sycamore Coons
of Coonvllle. " Ho reviewed the club
from Its formation , back , back of Bill
Colo's drug store , and told what the
Inspiration canto from , followed

evenings at the f < x > t of a largo , hollow
sycamore tree.
The wallers were In typical southern
orn style , and consisted of Mesdames

plrk , backed up by Papa .Tonka and
Gld , sang southern melodies. Mrs.

ax and carnations , and many hand

ttiO : : the party repaired to their
ionics , pronouncing it ono of the jol-
lest meetings the club over had.
MAY EXTEND ONJROM GREGORY
Reported In Sioux City That North
western Will Build More.
The Northwestern railroad will ex
tend Its line on from Gregory , through
the Trlpp county portion of the Hose-
bud reservation and to Midland , S. D. ,
to connect with the 1'lerro-Hapld City
line during the coming year , accordIng -
Ing to the Sioux City Journal.
If this extension is made a now
rout from Sioux City to the Black
Hills , and from the Ulack Hills to
Sioux City , will bo effected , thus shut
ting off much of the travel which now
goes through Norfolk to make thnt
trip. On the other hnnd additional
tralllc would result from the tapping
of a now Held. A shorter route from
the Hosobud to Sioux City is also to
bo built , according to the same source
In the extension of the Nowcnstle line
to Nlobrnrn , where It will connect with
the Bonesteol-Norfolk lino. This
would also take some of the travel
from this point.
Concerning tlio proposed new links
of railroad , the Sioux City paper says :
The Chicago and Northwestern road
proposes to have the short line be
tween Sioux City and the Hlnck Hills.
The company Is said to have sched
uled for construction this year two
connecting links of road which will
accomplish this purpose.
One of these links will be twenty-
live miles in length and will extend
from Crofton. the present terminus of
the HartlngUm stub , to Nlobrnrn , a
point on the NorfolK-Honcsteol line.
The second link will be formed by the
building of the Honesteol line on
through the Rosebud Indian reserva
tion to connect at Midland on the
main line from Pierre to Rapid City.
Hy the construction of these two
links there will thus bo created the
shortest line between Sionx City and
the Hlnck Hills. The route out of
Sionx City will be \Vakollold , Hart-
Ington. Crofton , Niobrarn , Honesteel
and Midland.
The main line from Plerro to Hnpld
City is expected to be completed and
In operation by Juno 1. Tlio bridge
over tlio Cheyenne river nt Wnshtn
\\lll bo completed in a few days.
Trains now are running from Plerro
west to Midland , n distance of forty-
live miles , and from Hnpld City east
to WashUi , forty-four miles.

UILL TO CHANGE NEBRASKA DIS
TRICT DIVISION.
WOULD AFFECT NORTH PORTION
Saving of $20,000 to the State Is Ar
gued as Favorable Feature Eighth ,
Ninth and Tenth Districts are to be
Shaken up In the Shift.
Lincoln , Neb. , Jan. 10. Special to
The News : A bill eliminating six of
the district judges of the state , thus
saving Nebraska about $20,000 , enough
to pay the expenses of the now railway
commission for two years , has been
Introduced by Senator King of Polk
county. The district judges of the
state have numbered twenty-eight , and
according to the bill , twenty-two can
lo the necessary work. This Involves
ssontlal changes In the judicial np-
lortlonmenl of the northenstern part
f the slate. The bill suggests the re-
luollon of one Judge from the First
udlelnl dlstricl , one from Iho Third ,
wo from the Fourth , and one from the
eleventh , and enough other districts
o make n total of six.
The Seventh judicial district is on-
Irely changed , being made to consist
if the counties dropped from the
fourth , Fifth and Sixth districts ,
inmely , Snunders , Dodge , Washington
ind Hurt counties.
The now Ninth judicial district Is
ho same ns the present Eighth , con
sisting of Cumlng , Stnnton , Dlxon , Da-
join , Cedar and Thurston counties.
Ninth to be Tenth.
The new Tenth judicial district is
he snmo as the present Ninth , con
sisting of Wayne , Madison , Antelope ,
lerco and Knox counties.
The Sixteenth judicial district shnll
consist of Holt , Boyd , Koya Pnha ,
ilrowu , Hock , Blnlne , Loup and Garfield -
field counties.
The bill provides that there shall bo
five judges of the district court in the
fourth district , two in tlio Third , and
one In each of the remaining districts ,
ho judges In the now districts to bo
elected at the general election In November -
vomber , 1907 , and every four years
.hereafter. Provision is made that the
ircsont judges shall hold their posl
tlons until the expiration of their
terms.
Railway Commission.
Dr. Wlnnctt , who has been invest- !
atlng the work of the Iowa railway
commission and Commissioner Wil
liams , who has been doing the same
In regard to the Kansas commission ,
last night made reports before the
joint committee to draft railroad legis
lation.
Dr. Wlnnctt reported that the Iowa
commission had acted on about 300
complaints In 1900 , settling them with
out a hearing , the required conces
sions usually being made by the rail
roads. Ho declared that the work of
the Iowa commission has resulted in
a great saving to shippers. Though
the rates made In 1888 have not been
greatly changed , the classification of
commodities has , and as a result the
charges on Important commodities In
Iowa are In many Instances much
lower than in Nebraska. It seems
probable that there will be a lowering
of the rates In the near future. Little
has been done In Iowa with the pas
senger schedules , though there Is n
general demand for a two-cent rate
The joint charges where two or three
roads haul are very high In Iowa , and
the state commission is now'wrestling
with thnt problem.
Hates have been considerably re
duced In Kansas , said Mr. Williams
though the scope of powers of the
commission in that state is much nar
rower than that of the Iowa commls
slon. Ho expressed a belief that rate
making powers of wider scope are
needed by a commission to make the
work most effective. More power is
now being asked by the Kansas com
mission , the work of which has-beei
confined chiefly to minor matters am
settling the grievances between ship
pers and the roads.
2-Cent Fare Goes Over.
Tlio house railroad committee yes
terdny recommended for postpone
ment the two-cent passenger fare bll
by Representative Whithnm of John
son , and the lint two-cent pnssonge
inte seems to have few advocates
though perhaps n reduction to 2 > / { .
cents will be agreed upon. The ques
tioA of whether tlio commissioners
nll bo empowered to make rates it
the first Instance or to regulate then
thereafter is one of tlio most import
nut before the committee. These
problems will be taken up with a vle\\
to definite action at the next sessioi
which will bo held on Tuesday.
