The current number of the Western
Publisher contains a handsome picture
of probably the handsomest newspa
per man In the state John M. Cotton
of the Alnsworth Star-Journal at
work at his desk. In a thoughtful
mood , John Is seen with typewriter In
front of htm and telephone In his left
band. This telephone , by the way ,
Is about the only thing that mars the
harmony of the picture , as the man
who gave the write up mistook the
pendant 'phone for a fish rod and di
lated a considerable upon the fact that
John was this early In the season get
ting ready to go llshlng. But John
never hunts for fish , because ho Is
too busy ,
By more chance Carl Scllwlchtenburg ,
who lives a few miles west of. Hadar ,
escaped crushing his house while cut
ting down a largo tree a few days ago.
The tree leaned p.irtly toward the
bouse and when preparations were
made to fell It a large rope was placed
around the tree and attached to an
other to guide It away from the house.
When It was cut through , however ,
the rope broke but not until after It
had given a now direction to the fall
ing tree , throwing It over against an
other tree In which It lodged. The
tree that went down measured three
feet in diameter and was planted by a
member of the family when the place
was taken as a homestead years ngo.

contracts , and will recommend that
the factory not bo operated next sea
son. Farmers have formed a beet
growers' association and are demandIng -
Ing $5 a ton for their beets. The fac
tory paid this amount this year , but
Mr. Scllley claims it never will again.
It is offering a graded scale according
to the sugar test of the beets , the $5
to bo paid \vjien bettor that 15 per
cent. Is got. This Is the best figure
Mr Scllloy says that can bo offered.

SIX OF NORFOLK'- ORIGINAL SET
TLERS GONE.
WITHIN THE PAST FEW WEEKS
Since the First of the Year Four of
the Original Colony of Germans Who
Came to Norfolk In 1866 , Have
Passed Out of This Life.
A half dozen of the old pioneers who
vore members of the tlrHt white colony
o settfo In Norfolk , have within the
last few montliH given up the battle
if life and closed their eyes In eternal
sleep. The laHt of the Htx was burled
Ylday afternoon Mrs. William Door-
ng. And among those six who have
ended this existence during the past
'ow weeks , have been two men wlio at
ho time they came here , owned much
) f what IH now the city of Norfolk.
Those settlers of 180G , who came
'rom Wisconsin with the colony of
about sixty families , and who have re
cently succumbed , are :
Fred Dederman.
Mrs. Uuetow.
Ferdinand Pasewallr.
Mrs. Herman Wachter.
William Boche.
Mrs. William Doerlng.
The last four have died since the
Irst of the year. The two men who
it one time owned much of what is
iow Norfolk were Ferdinand Pasowalk
and Fred Dederman. August Braasch
owned another largo portion , north of
Norfolk avenue , and It was his ( laugh-
.ir , Mrs. William Doering , who has
lust died this week. -
Mr. Braasch and Mr. Wagner were
the two men who came here from Wis
consin to select a site for the location
of the colony from Wisconsin. They
chose Norfolk , returned to Wisconsin
and brought back about sixty families
and eighty wagons. Every ono of the
above six persons were In that colony.
Those were the days of the Indians.
Sioux and Poncas were camped along
the Northfork , many of them together ,
jut there was never any trouble with
the reds. The nearests mill in those
days was at West Point.
Blazed Way for Norfolk.
This hardy colony of thrifty , oner
gctlc Germans blazed the way for the
Future Norfolk. They were young men
in those days , and they brought their
families from Wisconsin that they
might select farms upon which they
could bring up their children. Today
those children have grown to be ripe
men and women , heads of families of
their own , and many of them are layIng -
Ing to rest the exhausted pioneers who
brought them here.
Few of them are left to tell the
story of those rugged days. Among
the heads of families of'GO still en
joying life are Mrs. Lehman , Mr. and
Mrs. Carl Winter and a few others.
These hardy pioneers , now passing
away so rapidly , will live In the mem
ory of the present generation and ol
generations to come ; of a staunch and
conservative type , thrifty to a degree ,
they have bullded here on these west
ern plains a city that Is thriving and
prosperous , an Industrial center. Where
their wagons made tracks In the vir
gin sod , railway trains now rumble
many times a day. Upon a foundation
of stone did they construct this village ,
later a western city , and the progress
and growth of the community shall
ever stand as a monument to their in <
dustry and to their discerning judg
mont.
Besides those , St. Paul's Lutheran
church has lost a number of Its con
gregatlon In late months. August
Haase was cut down by a railroad
train ; Herman Schwnnke was dragged
to death by a runaway team ; and Mr.
Bauermelstcr , ono of the successful
farmers of the district , succumbed to
illness.
Norfolk Is losing honored and re
spected and much loved citizens when
it loses Its pioneers.
