FEELINQ GROWS AMONG DUSI-
NESS MEN IN ITS FAVOR.
1 CONFERENCE FRIDAY MORNING
Superintendents Dradcn and Reynolds
Were Out of Town Wednesday.
Plnn Endorsed by Presldlnu Elder
Tyndnll.
The eommltteo appointed by the
Commercial club , Messrs. MnthewHon
and Hoffman , to visit olilclals of the
Chicago .t Northwestern railroad on
the question of building n union de
pot and running I ho main line passen
ger trains tliiough IN- city , found this
moinlng that SnpcrlntomlonlH llrndon
nnd Reynolds were both out of town ,
being on an Inspection trip over thn
South Pintle district. They will re-
tnin to the city Thursday ovenlng ,
and an appointment was made to
moot them Friday morning.
Fiom the sentiment alieady devel
oped over the proposition , It IH plain
to he neon that the Commercial club
will have no dllllciilty to raise the
funds necessary lo secure the right
of way which the club proposes lo of
fer the railroad If It will build a track
from Us line southeast of town to In
tersect with the C. St P. M. & O. east
of the Northfork bridge and como
into town over that line , reaching Its
own main line again by way of the
\yest leg of I he Y. It Is not so Im
probable that the company might ac
cept this proposition. It Is very sim
ilar to the situation at Fremont a
number of years ago , and there the
company built n new line that was
considerably farther In order to reach
the business center of the city. Moro
recently the Northwestern built a
piece of track fifteen miles long
around the city of Omaha to enable
Us trains to reach the union station.
The ordinary width of a right of way
tor n railroad Is 100 feet , but for the
two miles of track required to make
this change It perhaps might not bo
necessary to purchase moro than sov-
enty-ftvo feet of ground , which If ac
ceptable to the company , would re
duce the expense to the Commercial
club 25 per cent. It is not believed
that this project will cost the city to
exceed $ louO and the club has $1,000
of this In the treasury. No bettor plan
has over presented Itself to Norfolk
to Invest $1,000.
What the Commercial club Is able
to offer In the way of an Inducement
for the railroad to build a track as
proposed will In no way recompense
the company for the Initial cost nor
the additional expense of operation ,
to say nothing of the money that Is to
lie Invested In the union station , but
thcro are other factors to the situation
which may appeal to the olllcors of the
company. Running the trains Into
Norfolk would better accommodate the
patrons of the road , a thing that rail
way olilclals are always anxious to do ,
In face of a general contrary opinion.
The company must erect some sort
of a depot In place of the one
burned a year ago , and If the other
roads will combine with the North
western Itwill solve the depot ques
tion for practically all time. And the
possession of such n depot on the main
street of the city would go a long way
toward wiping out a disagreeable fric
tion that has existed between citizens
and railroads for years.
The company probably realizes- that
even if the supreme court decision Is
In favor of the closing of the street
now asked for depot purposes , that It
i now a year later than when the
proposition was before the council be
fore and there may bo a change ol
sentiment by this time , as there un
questionably Is with the public. Many
of those who favored closing the
street a year ago are now joined will
the ranks of the opposition , as the >
have become convinced that the clos
Ing of Philip avenue would work t
real Injustice to people who own prop
erty west of the tracks. So that , evei
with a favoiablu decision from the supreme
promo court , there is no assurance
that the giving of the street to the rail
ioi\d company will not bo blockei
again and people be obliged to stain
around the old passenger car for 01
other year while waiting to take th
train.
A union depot with Northwester !
main line tinlns running Ino It , woul
certainly -.olve a lot of proposition
that are now perplexing both the nil
road and the citizens , and It Is hope
that the- railroad officials will rocelv
the proposition In the same earnes
manner In which it will bo tendered b
representatives of the Commercial
club at the conference to bo held Fri
day morning.
Endorses the Proposition.
Editor News : 1 wish to heartily
thank you for blazing the way for n
now union depot in Norfolk. You have
advocated many gojad causes , but none
much moro needed than this. I want
to in some way encourage you and our
Commercial club touching this enter
prise. Surely If over a town needed
a becoming railroad station wo do. I
am humiliated every time I think of
our delapldated condition as to this
matter. We must now present a unit
ed and solid front and get , If possible ,
what wo need In this regard.Vo have
lain In the ashes long enough ; wo
must now rlfeo and shine. Neither
Norfolk or our railroads can afford to
treat this matter indifferently. Every
property owner In Norfolk should get
very busy about this matter at once ,
and remain thus until something Is
done. This so much needed Improve
ment and comfort should appeal In
ionldi'iil In our
r Iniii'M to every
IItie elly. If wo will only look after
uwlvon an n city , wo m-ed not fear
hat people will como llot-ldng to UH.
, et Norfolk and our rallroailM begin
o pull together and keep pulling and
xe'll HOOII have a city In nlzo and np-
( nnini'o which wo would not bo
Hhamod of. Again I thank yon.

lornoshoo encountered In a couple of
tiles south of Norfolk , a little to the
ant of the town's edge.
The surveyors had planned to leave
Norfolk and go on straight south. It
'as planned to make their next head-
uartors at ClarkHon , Neb. , and they
ad arranged to have their mall for-

EARLIEST EASTER IN 30 YEARS.
That Occasion Falls This Year on the
Thirty-flrst of March.
Easter Sunday this year comes at
Its earliest date within thirty years.
The day this season chances to fallen

because It Is the end of March the
superstitions will bo particularly in
terested in knowing how the first portion
tion of the month Is ushered in.
The particular Incident which has

Washington , D. C. , Feb. 27. Thorn-
iR C. Mungor was today named by the

n.tors llnrkett and Mlllard mid Repre
sentatives Polhu'd and Ktnknld nt the
outset when the congressional delega
tion met In conference this morning ,
and others of the delegation , while not

TOM MUNGER'S FRIENDS PLEASED
New Judge's Selection Met With Fa
vor In Lincoln Circles.
Lincoln , Neb. , Feb. 27. Friends of
Tom C. Mungor of this city , who was
today named In Washington ns fodijr-
iil judge In the newly created judicial
illvlslon In Nebraska , are highly elat
ed at his selection.
Mr. Mungor had been Senator Bur-
kett's campaign manager and Senator
Burkott worked hard to secure the
appointment of his friend to this life
long position.
WILL IT BE "TOM AND JERRY ? "
New Bill is the One Establishing Fed
eral Court in Norfolk.
The selection of Tom C. Mungor of
Lincoln as federal judge In the newly
created 'federal ' judicial division In
this state gives rise to a peculiar sit
uation. Until now -there has been but
one federal judge In Nebraska. His
name Is Mnngor. Ho came from Fre
mont and Is well known , not only In
Norfolk but throughout the entire
stnto.
Tom C. Mnnger Is in no way relat
ed to the original Judge Munger. Out
the namoH arc identically the same.
And now , with two federal judges ,
each named Munger , confusion will bo
In the air. Somebody at Omaha has
suggested that , since the newly named
judge Is "Tom" Munger , the other one
might bo called "Jerry. "
The new bill , which has passed con
gress , provides that eight towns in
the state shall be federal court points.
These cities are Norfolk , Omaha , Lin
coln , Chadron , Hastings , McCook ,
Grand Island and North Plntto. All
federal court cases arising in a given
district must bo tried at the federal
court town in that district. At each
of these federal court points , Including
Norfolk , will bo a deputy federal court
clerk.
Grand juries will bo held only In
Omaha and Lincoln , but the people
Indicted shall then be reverted to their
own districts for trial. The Norfolk
district comprises Madison , Stanton ,
Pierce , Wayne , Antelope , Knox , Hoyd ,
Hock , Drown , Holt and Keyn Palm
counties.
Federal court In Norfolk will be
held In the handsome federal build
Ing here , which has already been mag
nlllcently furnished for court , with a
court room , federal judge's office , federal
oral marshal's olllce , federal prison
federal .clerk's office , etc.
Court'will bo hold hero regularly In
September , with the original Judge
Munger , the "Jerry" Munger presld
ing.

TELHARMONIC" MUSICAL SYS
TEM WILL REVOLUTIONIZE.
S WORTH TRIP TO NEW YORK
E. H. Tracy Tells of Marvellous New
Electrical Instrument , Costing $200-
000 , Which Produces Any Tone
Known to Human Ear.
Dr. Tlmddeus Cahlll's wonderful
lectrlcal music Invention , the "telhnr-
lonlc system , " which Is now being
emonstnited for the first time In
< Jew York City and which promises
.o . revolutionize the world of music ,
s one of the most marvelous Inven-
Ions of the ago and the demonstration
of the system Is worth the trip from
Norfolk to Now York , with no other
mrpose In view , according to E. H.
Tracy , who has Just returned from a
rip to Gotham. By mere accident Mr.
'racy went Into the telharmonlc cen-
rnl station on Broadway and he was
unnzed beyond expression at the to-
ally new and different instrument
hat ho found.
The telharmonlc system is an elec-
rical method of producing music by
sound waves. A basement filled with
145 dynamos Is the mill In which the
electricity for these sound waves is
urned out. A keyboard to which the
electrical waves are carried over
vires , nnil which is played upon just
is a pipe organ , registers the elec-
rlcal vibrations and produces the
nest perfect sounds of all descrip
tions. This keyboard is located In
he same building as the dynamos.
From this instrument may go any
lumber of wires which will carry the
nuslc to thousands of homos , hotels ,
theaters , churches anywhere , in fact ,
within a radius of 150 miles. In your
lome you may have a little receiver
resembling a telephone disc. By turn-
ng a button you may turn on the
music and listen to the sweetest
strains that human art can produce.
Instrument Cost $200,000.
The telharmonlc Instrument which
Mr. Tracy found in the central station
of this electrical music hall , cost $200-
)00. ) The system of producing music
al sounds of any and all sorts by elec-
: rlcal machinery was only perfected
by Dr. Cahlll after twelve years of
work at Holyoke , Mass. His theory
was that all sound Is produced by
sound waves or vibrations , and that
a dynamo revolving forty-seven times
a second would create one tone while
a dynamo revolving 4,700 times a second
end would give forth another sound.
And varying numbers of revolutions
jetween would run the gamut of every
cnown sound.
The theory worked out. After
twelve years the 115 dynamos , rang
ing In motion from forty-seven revolu
tions a second to 4,700 per second ,
have been so mastered that every
known sound can be produced by a
simple touching of an electric button.
These dynamos , whirling In a base
ment , send varying vibrations over
wires to the keyboard In a distant
and quiet room. A skilled musician
plays this keyboard just ns ho would
manipulate a pipe organ. And from
the wires come forth a concert In it
self. Piano music , tlftit of the flute ,
the cornet , the piccolo , the harp , the
cello , the violin , the drum any and
every kind of music , In fact , known to
the human ear , can be produced by
this electrical instrument.
It Is not imitation music. It Is the
real , genuine tone. And from the
machine wires radiating out In all
directions for 150 miles , will carry the
music which the operator produces
upon the keyboard there In the central
station.
In the homo a mile away , at your
bidding , comes the music as If from
nothingness , out of the side of the
wall or from a palm concealing the
receiver , or from a. chandelier In the
celling. There Is no whir of the ma
chinery , no rasping sound like that In
the phonograph just pure , unadul
terated musical tones In all their
sweetness and richness.
Because ono keyboard can produce
any style of tone , from drum to harp ,
It Is said that twenty-flvo keyboards
placed about a room will be able to
produce music that could not bo
equalled by an orchestra of 200 pieces.
Ono moment an operator may bo pro
ducing violin music , the next moment
cornet music on his keyboard so that ,
by working nil nt the same time ,
r
twenty-live will bo able to do what
200 ordinary Instruments could do ,
some playing now , others at another
time.
Norfolk Will F'eel Effect.
Norfolk , in Mr. Tracy's opinion , will
before long feel the effect of this won
derful invention. He believes that before -
fore a great while there will be central
stations established in every city ami \
that one will be In Omaha , Denver ,
Kansas City , etc. When that time
crimes wires will go out nil over the
state carrying the music from this In
strument to hundreds of towns. You
people here In Norfolk may have an
instrument In your homos and turn on
the music at any hour for a concert.
One player will operate the keyboard
in Omaha.
A surprising feature of the system ,
said Mr. Tracy , Is that the music can
be distributed very cheaply. The cost
to a house Instrument will be only
about twenty cents an hour while the
electricity is turned on , so that for
twenty cents one could turn on an
hour's concert In the evening that
would be perfect and of perfect mel
ody.
Street lights will be equipped with
transmitters and a city may have a
continuous concert at every street
corner , coming out of the heavens
above , by means of the new Invention.
It is so arranged that the transmitters
may be placed in arc lamps and regis
ter the sounds. For a street parade
the street lights will do away with
the necessity of a brass band for
there could bo a continuous round of
brass band music In every arc light.
Will Furnish Dance Music.
It Is so arranged that by a little
stop In the discs , Jt is possible to get
very loud or very soft music from the
wires that load Into your dining room.
It Is therefore seen how ono trans
mitter placed in a dance hall will
flood the room with delicious harmony
of an orchestral nature , perfect for
the dance.
"The possibilities of the Invention
are limitless , " said Mr. Tracy. "They
defy comprehension. Nothing re
mains now but the development of
the system all over the United States ,
before our musical tastes and meth
ods will be revolutionized. The old
Instruments will still remain , but this
new Invention will give an education
to the public , producing a great music-
loving nation , such as had never been
dreamed of before. It Is- worth the
trip to New York City just to hoar and
see this new Instrument. "
Mr. Tracy had read In McClure's
last summer of the Invention , but did
not dream of finding the machine In
working order.
A CHANGE IN BANKING CIRCLES
W. A. Witzlgman Becomes Affiliated
With Nebraska National.
A change In Norfolk's banking cir
cles will take place Friday morning.
W. A. Wtlzigman , who has been vlco
president and manager of the Citizens
National bank for two years , has sev
ered his connection with that Institu
tion and will Friday morning become
associated with the Nebraska National
bank.
Mr. Wltzigman's resignation was ten
dered to directors of the Citizens Na
tional bank at their mooting last Sat
urday evening and It Is said that no
arrangements have been made to fill
the vacancy in the bank which Is
caused by his departure. The official
title of Mr. Witzlgman In the Nebras
ka National bank has not yet been as
signed by the directors. Mr. Wltzlg-
man will Increase the Nebraska Na
tional bank force by ono man , as the
institution Is adding him without losing I
any of the old force. Mr. Witzlgman
came to Norfolk from Meadow Grove ,
where ho was cashier of tho'Meadow
Grove State bank. Ho Is still a direct
or In that bank and also a director In
the Battle Creole Valley bank at Battle
Creek.
