EPIDEMIC Or'POEMITIS" ' Beatrice Reader of The News Has An other Sadie Rhyme. Here's another rhyme for which Sa die and her sheep are responsible. At least the poems that were written about Sndle and the sheep are respon sible" for It. But it's a good one too good to put in the waste basket. It came from Beatrice and this is what it says : An epidemic has appeared , With which we cannot cope ; The doctors fall to keep it down With any kind of dope. Norfolk is certainly in for A Dickens of a time , For all the prosy folks in town Are breaking Into rhyme. Oh lady fair , tell us , we pray , Why were you not content To keep your little lambs at home Those lambs on mischief bent ? We fear you started , Sadie dear , Something you cannot stop , "When you allowed your little sheep To run against the cop. They butted In , so we are told , With neither rhyme nor reason , And poemitis has set in , Regardless of thtf season ; None are immune ; while other ills Are following thick and faster , And finite mind cannot foresee The end of such disaster. On mutton stew we dally dine , Our breakfast Is of Hay , "While Sadie is served a-la-mode For luncheon every day. Unless our blll-of-fare Is changed , Right soon , there is no question But Norfolk will a victim be Of chronic indigestion. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

Special to The News : Mrs. Martha Lee created no small amount of excitement yester day afternoon when she kidnapped two of her little girls who were on their way home from school and locked them up In her room. Several years ago Mr. Lee secured a divorce from his wife , and the court gave him custody of the children. She has been sent to the Lincoln and Nor folk asylums a number of times , but has been discharged on each occasion by the superintendents as being of sound mind. Mrs. Lee not only defied Marshal Colter from entering her room , but also gave utterances of n threatening nature to her former husband If ho should attempt it. Mr. Lee secured warrant at once nnd Sheriff Miller pro ceeded to secure the release of the two children. This was accomplished after the door was broken In , nnd the little girls turned over to their father.

Carriers Are Asking Smaller Percent. Raise Than Congress Got. Norfolk , Feb. 13. Editor News : Much interest all over the land is felt in the measure now pending in con gress to Increase the pay of postal employes. ' Those who would be bene fited by such an increase are barred by the civil service rules from making any direct appeal to congress in re gard to their needs. Their only hope lies In the justice of their cause , and the conscience of the national body of law-makers. These men have just voted them selves an increase of 50 per cent , in salary , which they say wns made nec essary by the Increased cost of living. Every other government employe haste to meet the same increase In expens es. How can they do so on their old wage schedule ? They cannot , and must either cut down their standard of living , or be forced into other lines of employment , tints crippling the ef ficiency of the postal service. The plan submitted by the postmas ter general proposes a maximum sal ary of $1,200 per year for clerks nnd carriers in cities of 75,000 population and over , and only $000 for the same employes In the small cities. This would mean an Increase of 20 percent. In the large cities , but even less than 0 per cent , increase In the small ones. While the cost of living In some very large cities , such ns New York and Philadelphia , is relatively higher than elsewhere , there are many small places In the far West and southwest where expenses of living are much in excess of the cost in the average of cities of over 75,000 population. It has been about twenty years since any change lias been made In the com pensation of clerks nnd carriers. If a change Is made now , possibly an other fifth of a century will elapse be fore the subject is touched again. So it is very important that the present action .shall be just to all concerned. The concensus of opinion is that clerks and carriers In second class cities would be satisfied with a maxi mum salary of $1,000 , and deserve no less. This would mean an increase in their pay of less than 18 per cent , or little more than one-third as much of an increase as the members of con gress voted themselves. First Assistant Postmaster Hitch cock says , "hundreds of Uie poorly paid clerks and carriers are resigning from the service to enter mpre remu nerative fields of labor , and the resig nations are Increasing at an alarming rate. " Will congress put an end to all tills by at last voting an adequate sal ary to all ? CONGRESSMAN-ELECT FROM THE THIRD DISTRICT GOES EAST.

NAPER ACETYLENE GAS PLANT Machln * Which Furnished the Busi ness Houses of Nnper With Light Fails to Work and an Attempt to Fix It Makes Trouble. Noper , Nob. , Feb. 13. Special to The News : There was an explosion In the gas plant of Anderson & Co , nt 7 o'clock last evening , that came very close to ending the lives of several citl/.eiis. Acetylene gas , manufactured In a cave , Is used to light the business houses of the city , and last evening It was working badly. Mr. Andersen went Into the cave to ascertain what the trouble was , but as ho does not regularly attend the plant ho could not seem to find the difficulty. Calling Mr. Naper to his assltsance , the two men were in the cave , when the nmchlno exploded. Mr. Andeison was the most severely Injured , being struck on the head with a flying rock nnd badly bruised. Mr. Naper , who was standing above the machine when the explosion occurred , escaped with singed hair and mus tache. Mr. Morris , who was standing In the door , was blown quite a distance through the air and his coat was en tirely stripped off , but ho wns not per sonally Injured , other than having his hair singed without the aid of a barber. Mr. Katzer was also in the cave rind his hand was bruised by a Hying stone. The cave where the plant was locat ed was badly wrecked , the top being blown off and the room generally de moralized. The plant itself came out of the mess with less damage than It would be thought possible , and it Is believed that repairs can bo made within a day or two that will enable the company to again furnish light to its customers.

BONES FOUND IN THE SAND. Dr. Mackay Speculates Upon Geology of Elkhorn Valley. The excavations'for the sewer have revealed an Interesting subject for scientific Speculation regarding the geology of the valley in which Norfolk Is located. At Intervals from a depth of from six to eight feet , workmen have thrown out bones in n perfect state of preservation. These have been found in undisturbed sand and loess in the nncient terraces of the Elkhorn river. The bones are chiefly those , , of the cervldao and are remark able for the fact that their structure shows no sign of decay. The cancel lated portions have not broken down nnd the tuberosltles where the muscles nnd ligaments were attached are ap parently as fresh ns If they had been stripped of their fleshy covering but recently. In limestone caves , peat bogs and In the deeper deposits of the loess formation bones are found of great antiquity but In surface de posits owing to the access of air they decay In the course of limp. The wide area Over which they have been found , covering a distance of two miles , extending from the river nnd the undisturbed condition of the de posits In which they have been found preclude their having been burled by other agency than the deposits from the river. This brings up the ques tion , when did the Elkhorn deposit from six to eight feet of sand ant loess upon the site where Norfolk now stands burying number of fresh bones of the deer family ? The latest geological activity" In the Enkhorn valley was Uho melting ol the glaciers ( hat deposited the licina- tile giavol liedH west of IOWIIH , No bones or fo sll remains huve been found In thoito deposits , however , which occurred according to the esti mates of aulhotllloH from 'ID.fiOO to 10,000 yoai-H ago It Is altogether Im- irohnhlo thiil hones would remain mi- loeayod lor Hint length of tlmo within six feel of the HUifnce In a soil an porous as that of Nolmmlia and their olallve ago IH an Interesting quos- Ion : If within a period of 200 yearH he liver deposited In Hlnillllud layetH nix feel of Hoil nnd mmd over Llio en- Ire valley why should If not do HO iRiiln , and If thin him occurred what. \\IIH Hio CUUKC of the Hood ? .1. II. Mncluiy. CAPTAIN JACK FOSTER OF ROSE BUD WAS HERE. FOUND GANG IN THEIR DIVE Out on the Rosebud Reservation the Reservation Detective Nearly Cap tured Bunch Who Have Terrorized That Section for Years. Forced by the high water In the streams bordering the reservation to .urn back and Journey by rail to Sioux ' "alls where lie lias business before the federal court , Captain "Jack" Foster , government detective at KoHohud igency , who recently captured a band if desperate horse thieves , paused hrough Norfolk yesterday. Captain Foster and Ilelectlvo ,1. 15. llchard recently onitght Tom Fan en , > no of the leaders of the gang In Sioux rily , nnd lie Is now In Jail at Hloux 'alls awaiting trial. Since then Captain Foster lias cap tured and jailed four oilier members if Hie gang which lias terrorized the anchinen and settleis of the western ange , as well as the inhabitants of lie Rosebud icsorvnllon. lie nccom- illshed the capture neatly in n deserted - sorted cabin on ( lie ranch of David Colomb , a half breed Sioux , who was ompornrlly away from his home on Big White river. Trapping the Thieves. Foster , after leaving Sioux City , loiirneyed to Murdo , and taking a lorse rode many miles with an as sistant through heavy snows to the bluffs of the river , where he learned the thieves were In ( lie habit of male ing a rendezvous at Colomb's cabin. Arriving near nightfall , lie entered the place after secreting his broncho , mil awaited the coming of the gang. About midnight a low whistle was lionrd outside the cabin. Foster re sponded and In a moment a light tap came at the cabin door. Malting ready , Foster opened the door , and as Bill Monm , one of the much wanted Ihiovos , entered , lie found himself looking down the barrel of the olllcer's ready Colt. Put Up His Hands. "Hands up and no noise ! " command ed Foster. - < > 'W Morgan obeyed and after the officer had stripped him of his "artillery" and snapped the bracelets on the prisoner , lie made him sit down In a corner and calmly await the next member. Soon Ed Whiting opened the door , to find lilmsclf a prisoner as had Morgan. He was quickly disarmed and seated icslde his partner , and then Foster , earning from their conversation that yet another member was outside at- : endyig to ( lie horses , he hound the legs of his two prisoners and sallied forth. Near the corral in which the thieves had placed ten stolen horses , he found Sam Watkins , who , mistaking him for Morgan , wns completely off his guard. Escaped From Police. Foster escorted the crestfallen Wat- tins , who Is \oungster , to the cabin , summoned his assistant and In a short tlmo had the prisoners safe behind lock nnd key. Morgan was taken to the Deadwood jail , WnlKlns to Omaha and Whiting to Spriugviow , Keya Paha county , where he nnd Dave Raymond , n quatter blood Sioux , later caught by the Indian police , from whom he es caped and still later captured by Sher iff Simmons of Valentine , Nob. , will be tried for cattle and horse stealing In that county.
