MISS LEOTA nlSH OF NORFOLK
TOOK PART IN PLAY.
I
CAME TO RESCUE OF COMPANY
Miss Rlsh Went Into the "Rip Van
Winkle" Matinee After One Rehearsal -
sal and Made Good She Is Only
Ten Years of Age , But Clever.
I Prom Monday's Dnlty.l
Little Lcotti nish of Norfolk , the
ten-year-old daughter of Mr. niul Mrs.
O. W. Rlsh of this city , cnmo to the
rescue of the Ulwln Strong theatrical
company In their production of "Hip
Van Winkle" at a matinee perform
ance In the Auditorium and made the
production a possibility.
The Ehvln Strong company agreed ,
when they hooked Into Norfolk , to put
on "Hip Van Winkle" nt a special
children's matinee. The advance man
forgot to notify the company. The
company had never hoforo played
f 'Rip ' Van Winkle" and had no little
girl to take the role of little "Meenle. "
There was a perplexing problem for
them , therefore , when they reached
Norfolk. Dut a happy thought saved
the day.
Leotn Rlsh , a year ago , came to the
rescue of an "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
company and played In the part of
"Little Eva. " She was so entirely
successful that her name was suggest
ed for this child part and she at once
consented. With one rehearsal she
went In and played the role as cleverly
as any professional actress ever did.
The company were delighted with her
and Mr. Strong declared that , with a
little training , the Norfolk girl would
make a star on the stage to be proud
of.

Better Let It Alone.
Stanton Picket : The "state wide
primary" bill before the Nebraska
lawmakers Is shaking the legislature
from center to circumference and Is
drawing hosts of politicians of all
parties toward the state house.
It has been charged that should the
"state wide primary" bill and become
a law , It would place the entire po
litical machinery of the state In the
hands of the newspapers. The Picket
does not believe the passage of the
bill would bring about this result , but
It does believe that in the rural sec
tions and in the smaller towns , this
proposed law would turn the political
affairs over to a few politicians who
might band themselves and easily con
trol all nominations for the majority
of the offices.
It Is a well known fact that even
now In most of the country districts
the majority of the voters who are
farmers pay too little attention to the
caucuses and primaries. If this bill
before the legislature should become
a law , the power would not go to the
newspapers , but Instead , It would pass
to a few politicians In each county
who would soon become party bosses
and be enabled to control every county
and precinct officer.
Such a law might do well enough for
Omaha and the larger cities of the
state , but It Is not the thing for the
rural districts.
SHOT IN THE LEGS.
Farmer Near Verdigris Opens up Shot
gun at His Neighbor.
Verdlgre Progress : It seems that
Roy Harvey and E. C. Elke , two farm
ers living some eighteen miles west
of Verdlgre , have been having consid
erable trouble over stock , and on Mon
day It came very near resulting In
something worse than neighbors' quar
rel. The story , as we learn , ( although
wo cannot vouch for Its truthfulness ) ,
Is that Mr. Zlke shut up some of Har
vey's cattle , and two of them died.
Monday morning , as the story goes ,
Harvey went to the Zlko place and
was driving some cattle away , when
Zlko appeared with a shot gun , and
punctured Harvey's legs with Its con
tents. Wo understand but few shot
took effect.
Information was sworn out and
when Mr. Zlko came to town Tuesday
ho was arrested by Sheriff Burn and
placed under bonds. Wo did not learn
at what date the trial will bo hold ,
This Is Indeed a deplorable circuit
stance , and an advice to the belliger
ents Is to kiss and make up.
Wipe the dust off that musical In
strument and want advertise it.
NORFOLK BUSINESS MAN FAVORS
ANOTHER EFFORT.
TO GET ALL TRAINS UP TOWN
A Solution of the Depot Matter , Do
ing Away Dlth Necessity of Closing
n Street and Benefiting the City , Is
Suggested for Action ,
A solution of the depot matter in
Norfolk has been suggested by a Nor
folk business man , by which the ne
cessity of closing a street would bo
done away with and by which a union
depot , Into which nil trains of the
Northwestern as well ns the Union
Pacific and M. & O. would center ,
could bo established for the city. This
business man wishes to ask that I ho
Commercial club directors iat their
meeting Tuesday morning , consider
the matter and act upon It If they
deem It advisable.
The supreme court has adjourned at
Lincoln , Supreme Judge J. B. Barnes
having returned to his home In this
city , without a decision being ren
dered as to the legality of an ordi
nance providing for the closing of
Philip avenue.
Norfolk has boon awaiting this de
cision because it lm& to do with the
depot matter here. But the new solu
tion makes the street closing unnec
essary.
"I believe that Norfolk , through the
Commercial club , should make an ef
fort to Induce the Northwestern rail
road to run Its trains Into tills city ,
and that a union depot should be
built by the Northwestern , the Union
Pacific and the M. & O. roads , " said
this business man. "If necessary , I
believe Norfolk could afford to secure
a right of way leading from the North-
western's main line track east of the
Junction to the M. & O. track just
cast of the bridge over the Northfork
river , thus allowing the main line
Black Hills trains running into this
city to come up town without hacking
in or turning around.
'The depot could he placed between
the Union Pacific and Bonesteel
tracks , north of Norfolk avenue , In
the big lot adjoining the Sailer Coal
& Grain company's office , so that no
street would have to ho vacated. This
would he located so that trains com
ing from any direction could run Into
tills union depot. The railroads could
then afford , together , to build a hand
some structure , costing say $10,000
and the city would be bettor off.
"I believe thai it would pay us as
a business Investment , for there arc
thousands of people going through
Norfolk today who never see any part
of the city excepting the Junction depot -
pot , and I believe that it would be
worth the money to get them up town ,
to see the town. It would be the best
advertisement we could get. "
At the time the Crelghton depot
burned , The News suggested that a
union depot ought to be secured , but
the Commercial club reported that it
was not possible. The business man
referred to believes that conditions
have changed in regard to the possibil
ity and that the prize would at least
be worth a hard try on the part of the
Commercial club. The Commercial
club directors will meet Tuesday
morning at 8 o'clock.
