May Make Two Classes ,
Sioux Clly railroad people are quot-
oil as saying that they hollevo the now
law will result In a creation of two
different classes of passenger service
as there Is In England , first class and
second class , It Is said that they ho
llevo ordinary two-cent tickets will
liny n rldo on any old kind of a car ,
whllo fast , speed , luxuries In coaches ,
etc. , will bo charged for at extra rates
as extra service , and not as passenger
faro.
faro.Thoro
There is , however , nothing dollnlto
ubont this rumor and the IndlcatloiiH
nro that fast , trains may ho withdrawn
in this state unless some remedy of
tills kind Is permissible unilor the law.
Excursion rates , clergymon'a half
rates , and all other former passenger
faro schedules on Nebraska railroads

TWICE MAYOR OR NORFOLK , POPULAR -
ULAR HERE.
SUCCUMBS TO AN OPERATION
Eldest Son of John Koenlgsteln of
Norfolk Passes Away at Los Ange
les , California Believed .Father and
Brother Arrived Too Late.
Daniel J. Koenlgsteln , formerly may
or of Norfolk and eldest son of John
Koonlgsteln of this city , Is dead In
Los Angeles , Cal. , as the result of n
surgical operation for appendicitis.
Ho succumbed last evening.
The sad message came In a elcgram
shortly before 8 o'clock , to h'ls sister ,
Mrs. R. A. Mlttelstadt of this city.
Father and brother , John Koenlgsteln
and Arthur J. Koonlgsteln are prob
ably in l os Angeles by this time , hav
ing left Aikansas Sunday morning for
the coast , in response to a message
announcing the serious illness. But It
was thought that they must not have
arrived at the deathbed until after the
end had come , because of the fact that
the dispatch received here was signed
by Mrs. D. J. Koenlgsteln.
Funeral arrangements had not been
learned hero up to a late hour , but It
was expected to receive definite word
regarding the plans during today.
Mrs , John Koenlgsteln , who is visit
ing at the homo of her son , Arthur , In
Arkansas , did not accompany her husband
*
band and son across the continent , as
bad at first been thought the case by
sons here.
Mayor Two Terms.
"Dan" Koenigstein * as he was known
by his friends In Norfolk , was an at
torney at law and during the past few
years had built up a splendid practice
In Los Angeles. He was mayor of
Norfolk for two terms , retiring from
that office five years ago this spring.
Mr. Koenlgstein Is survived by a
wife and four children , the eldest of
whom Is now twelve years of ago ;
and by his father , four brothers Ludwig -
wig , Jack , William and Arthur and
a sister , Mrs , R. A. Mittelstadt.
He was still a young man , Just hav
ing reached the age of forty Illinois
was- his native state. The sudden de
mise came as a severe jhock to his
relatives and many friends In Norfolk
who , although they knew that he was
critically ill from the effects of his
operation 'of n week ago , were unpre
pared for so serious a turn In his con
dition.
Mr. Koejilgstoin's election twice to
the mayoralty of Norfolk attests the
esteem In which heyaS held by the
citizens of this city , ilo was a promi
nent in the business and social life of
this community and his death will
bring sorrow to many homes.
Mr. Koeiilgstein was a member of
the following Norfolk lodges : Ma
sonic. Knights of Pythias , Elks , Eagles
and Sons of Hermann.
MAYOR WOULD RUN AGAIN.
Pres'ent Head of City Would Accept
Nomination Political Gossip.
Mayor John Friday has Intimated to
close personal friends that he is willIng -
Ing to stand for a re-election If ho Is
given the support of the democratic
city convention. Mr. Friday's appar
ent willingness to remain at the head
of the Norfolk city government Is the
most Important contribution to the po
litical news of the day. The mayor
has had two terms of service ; he Is
not adverse to adding a third year If
his party associates "desire It. Mr.
Friday was a successful candidate for
re-election at the city election last
spring , poling 559 votes to 402 cast
for H. A. Pasewalk , his republican op
ponent.
Other than the statement of the
mayor's Intentions there have beeen
no authorized announcements from
prospective candidates. The citizens
of Norfolk are beginning to discuss
the matter , however , and may send
some of the city offices out In pursuit
of candidates. Voters who are search
ing about In their minds for possible
candidates at this time have the ad
vantage of an unlimited field. . Later
there will be n contest between two
men. Today any available citizen may
be the next mayor.
In this preliminary canvass of the
situation a number of names have been
suggested. Yesterday a group of Nor
folk men were urging the advisability
of presenting the name of L. P. Pase
walk , cashier of the Norfolk National
bank , as a candidate for mayor. II.
W. Winter has been mentioned as a
candidate who may appear before the
democratic city convention.
AT THETHEATER
_
"Graustark. "
George Barr McCutcheon's famous
story , "Graustark , " as delightfully
staged and played by the Woodward
Stock company , made new friends of
a large audience at the Auditorium
last night. The production was up to
the standard that had already been
set by this superior repertoire troupe ,
and the standard which Manager Bur
gess guarantees will bo maintained in
every performance between now and
the end of the week , when the engage
mnt conies to an end.
The special scenery was pretty and
complete. The company did full jus
tice to the story. Round after round
of applause attested the audience's np
pre'clatlon.
Miss MacKImm , in the role of the
pretty princess of Graustark whom
the American finally won against the
rivalry of the unscrupulous prince
Powder
Porfoot In quality.
Mode-rate In prloo.
played her way Into now hearts and
renewed admlartlon from those who
have been attending all week. Charles
Dingle , In the leading role , made his
every line count for a score and drew
more enthusiastic' appreciation than at
any time prevlous. John Hall 'did jus
tice to the villain's rolo. The audi
ence is beginning to feel sorry for
Hall he always has to play the vil
lain , and people are sympathizing with
him In the unfortunate plight. Mr.
Brady was again on hand for effec
tive work , and he did It well.
Neither Miss Gordon , who Is so su
perb as a clown , nor Miss Hayes ,
whoso simplicity and natural manner ,
have mode them both prime favorites ,
had a chance at as much prominence.
In Graustark as their admirers wished
they might. In their vaudeville stunts ,
however , they were given opportunity
to make good and they were called
back again and again , together with
Bobble Burgess and Ed Menlovo , to
sing and dance and sing again . Men-
love sprung an original little song
about Norfolk's street crossings which X
apparently found a warm spot In the
audience.
Bobbie Burgess and Miss Gordon
are a whole show In themselves. They
could keep the crowd laughing and
clapping its hands all night.
Little Lottie Sal/.berg sang another
couple of dainty songs that were well
received.
"Retribution. "
The matinee performance , presentIng -
Ing "eRtributlon , " was a clover play
and one well done , but It was wit
nessed only by about enough of an
audience to make a fair sized tea par
ty. Miss Gordon , In her vaudeville
work , was kept on the stage until she
ran out of breath , because she so well
pleased the audience , small though it
was.
Avoid the Cheap and "Big Can" Bak-
0 ing Powders.
The cheap baking powders have but
one recommendation : they certainly
give the purchaser plenty of powder
for his money but it's not all baking
powder ; the bulk is made np of cheap
materials that have no leavening pow
er These powders are so carelessly
made from inferior materials that they
will not make light , wholesome food.
Further , these cheap baking powders
have a very small percentage of leav
ening gas ; therefore It takes from two
to three times as much of such powder
to raise the cake or biscuit as It does
of Calumet Baking powder. There
fore , In the long run , the actual cost
to the consumer of the cheap powders
Is more than Calumet would he.
Cheap baking powders leave the bread
sometimes bleached and acid , some
times yellow and alkaline , and always
unpalatable. They are never of uni
form strength ami quality.
Why not buy a perfectly wholesome
baking powder like Calumet , that Is
at the same time moderate In price
and one which can be relied upon ?
Calumet Is always the same , keeps In
definitely and gives the cook the least
trouble.
The woman who cries easily never
seems to feel very bad about It.
