NORFOLK IS WRITING ON SOCIAL
CALENDAR'S MARGIN.
BUSY ANTE-LENTEN SEASON
Social Norfolk Has Been Spending Con
siderable Time at Dinner Table and
at Cards During Past Week Events
to Come In the Neor Future.
[ From Saturday's Uall.v.J
t * Society has Imtl Us hands full In
Norfolk during the past week and tlio
I ( social calendar for the iierlod between
now and the beginning of Lent IH
crammed full and has dates dates
written out on the margin. Pretty
nearly every date has some sort of a
pmcllmurk upon Its face and those
that are left unmarked will come In
handily for catching up a few winks
of Bleep. During the week just closed
Norfolk has spent a good portion of
the time at the dinner table and playIng -
Ing euchre , while more of the same
sort of pleasure Is in store for the fu
ture. A couple of events that had
been planned for the week were given
up out of respect for the late William
M. Robertson , whose death occurred
on Tuesday.
During the coming week an event
which It Is believed will bo attended
by most of Norfolk , and which promises -
' es to bo an Important landmark in the
city's social life because It will mark
the ro-ostabllshment of the theater , af-
'tor that institnion had begun to gasp
Its last breath and had gone danger
ously near an untimely end , will bo
the reopening of the Auditorium. The
theater has been closed for several
weeks , during which time It has been
renovated and changed in many ways.
' -The opening performance will come on
Tuesday evening 'When Alberta Gal-
latin , of whom the 'Omaha Bee spoke
highly , will play "Dorothy Vernon of
Iladdon Hall. " The star and her play
are both now to Norfolk so that fore
casting the merit of the production is
rather a difficult matter , but It Is the
event more than the play , after all ,
which It is hoped will hang up the
standing room only sign. From re
ports , however , theatergoers will see a
play that Is worth while.

k
Lincoln , Nob. , Jan. 2(1. ( Special to
The NOWH : A bill by Senator Wllcox
> f Thnyor providing that In count km
Having 15,000 or more Inhabitants the
Bounty judge shall bo an attorney wits
Indefinitely postponed after a lively
lolmto In ( ho senate yesterday after-
10011. The Hood of oratory was start-
d by Senator Randall of Madison , a
milker , who declared that a good busl-
less man would generally make a bet-
lor county Judge than most lawyers.
Ten of the members of ( ho senate are
awyers and ( hey Immediately rushed
o the defense of their profession.
The employers' liability bill Intro-
luced by Senator Gibson of Douglas

nen appeared before the committee.
1'hey suguested that If the bill passed
t might cause the nurllngton relief
lepartnient to go out of existence ;
hut many of the men are now too old
to get Insurance In other societies and
hat If possible a bill should be passed
which would leave the relief depnrt-
nent insurance In force. Mr. Mneom-
ier , a Union Pacific conductor , repre
senting an organization of railway con
ductors , nsked that the bill be amend
ed to apply only to trainmen.
The members of ( he committee on
railroad commission- consisting of

Representative Walsh and Representa-
: lve Harrison , say that within a weelc
: hey hope to have the important bill
tvhlch will empower the railway com
mission to act , defining Its powers and
its mode of procedure , ready to sub
mit to the joint committee for inspec
tion. Senator Aldrich , who has made
nn exhaustive study of the situations
in the states where railway commis
sions have been at work for a number
: > f years , will try to see that the bill
follows those provisions which have
been thoroughly tested in the courts.
A bill by Representative Scudder of
Hall , giving to railroad conductors the
right to arrest any person stealing
rides on trains or found on the trains
without right to be there has been
recommended for passage. Like rec
ommendation was given in the house

TO CHOP OFF SALARY.
Bill to Cut Pay of Omaha Water Board
Is Endorsed There.
Omaha , Neb. , Jan. 20. Special to
The News : The bill which has been
Introduced Into the Nebraska legisla
ture to cut off the salary of the mem
bers of the Omaha water board until
that board has something else to do
other than to approve Its own expense
vouchers , meets with universal accord
among the tax payers of Omaha , who
are tired of seeing their hard earned
taxes frittered away by a board with
nothing to do.
The Omaha water board , which has
been characterized "tho do-nothing
board" came Into being four years ago
when Omaha begun preparations to
municipalize Its water plant. The
only thing of note it has done since
then Is to draw Its salary and "O. K. "
attorney and other expense bills. In
that time the board has received as
salary $11,000 and attorney's fees have
aggregated more than that much , so
that the board has used up more than
$30.000 of the tax payers' money and
still has nothing to manage.
H Is pointed out by citizens that the
school board , the park board and the
library board , all having important
work to do , servo without pay , but
the water board , with nothing to debut
but heap up costly litigation , milks the
treasury for an aggregate of $3,000 In
salaries every year. Inspections of
the minutes of the boards' meetings
show that proceedings have been al
most exclusively confined to certify
ing vouchers for their own salaries
lawyers' fees and court costs. Some
months not a single meeting was hold
but the expense goes on just the same
It Is not the Intention of the house
bill to parmenaiitly disband the \vatoi
board , but simply ( o cut off the salnrj
of the members until there Is some
work for It to do. Should the city nc
tually coino Into posHoi-slou of the v n
tnrworkH plant , ( he water lumrd niliiht
have Home rcHpoiiHlhllltloH , mill Rome
duties to discharge ( hut would warrant
Its members drawing HiilnrUm , but
there IH nn assurance now when , If
over , the city will ac < iulro the water
plant , and no reason why the tax payers -
ors should be held Indefinitely for sal
aries for an ornamental board.
Although the "experts" who wore
to appraise the present water works
plant were appointed mum after the
water board came Into being , the city
In no nearer owning Iho plant than It
was at that time. After two years of
delays , two of the appraisers placed
the value of the plant at nearly twice
what the city thought It was worth and
Immediately the water company went
into federal court to force the city to
buy the plant at the figures of the two
appraisers. The city resisted the
heavy appraisal , clolmliig It was being
bilked out of about ROOO.OOO.
Then the water board passed reso
lutions to construct a new plant and
ordered estimates and plans made.
This work Is now In progress , 'and
should the courts uphold the water
company and force the city to purchase
the plant at the appraised value , nil
the work on the new plant will bo a
dead loss to the tax payers , as Omaha
has no use for two water plants.
Omaha Is complaining of not enough
money to maintain a suitable flro and
police force , and the money saved
from I he abolition of the water board's
salary will go'far towards helping out
these two necessary forces.
