NORFOLK'H HIMHPP.
Uoforo Ilio nslies of Norfolk's high
IICllOOl building had eoaHOd 10 HIIUIIll-
ilur , Norfolk'H board of education Intil
voted to ask ( ho city for f21,000 liomlH
nt ( ho coinliiK election , which will liu
hold April 2. So much for NorfolU'H
spirit.
There IH money with which to pay
off the old honilH liy which thu Hchool
WIIH hnllt. The now bonds will not Increase -
crease the Indebtedness of thu Hchool
district ever whut It IIIIH lii'on , hut will
merely oxloutl the Indebtedness ever
a greater period. The homlH will ho
enrrlnil , It IH believed , without a dls-
flouting vote. The bonds represent the
platform of nil purtluH and of nil
classes.
Hy next Soptoinbor n now high
flchool building , nn Improvement In
many ways over the old one , will Htnnd
\\-horo the walls of the old ono totter
toilny.
It will ho HinnllLM" and inoro compact.
I'rohably only high Hchool clnssos will
lie taken care of In It.
There was only a day to spare In
iBHiiIng the cull for the bond election.
Hut a day was enough for Norfolk
to act In.
THE LOSS OF A SCHOOL.
The burning of the high school build
Ing In Norfolk la a public calamity. A
deep gloom has settled down upon the
city at the loss of thin beautiful edu
catlonal atrticturu. It comes at a orlt
ical moment.
Hut there Is ono splendid sign rising
from the smouldering ruins. That Is
the fact that the ashes of this strnc
tnro have caused such nnlvoi-Hiil and
niich deep seated regret. It Is a sign
that shows what Norfolk Is made of.
The Intensity of Norfolk's mourning
ever this loss may bo taken as a gungo
by which to know Norfolk's love and
appreciation oC the public school and
Its work. And where that appreciation
uxlsts as It does In Norfolk , there can
bo no permanent check to advance
ment In the right direction.
For a moment Norfolk's high school
homo has been destroyed. Hut .Nor
folk's spirit , undaunted by the misfor
tune , rises up to meet the omorgono
and to clear away the ruins that nn
other monument to education's value
may bo erected.
It Is a public disaster , a great public
loss , but the heat scarred walls make
Norfolk inoro than ever feel the slg
nltlcanco of her excellent public schoo
system and the ashes will bo mlxei
into a cement that shall bind Norfoll
even more solidly together than evei
before to maintain the high standard I
of that system.
PROFANITY THK TARGET.
Westfiold , Mass. , has passed an or
dinance forbidding profanity. Every
offense. Is to be punished by a line
of $20. At $20 per , cuss-words will
come as luxuries and will be Indulged
in only by the rich . That Is , If the
ordinance is enforced.
It Is a commendable end that West-
field seeks , lint whether legislation
will accomplish the end In view re
mains another question.
It Is pretty nearly Impossible to pnss
laws Umt will prevent men and women
from doing things which their tastes
and appetites teach them to bo desir
able.
able.Tho
The logical way for Westfleld to
have prohibited swearing would have
been to get at the root of the matter ,
to got at the men's minds and to con
vince the Individuals that profanity Is
a type of Ignorance and that It Is , at
best , a poor excuse for better words
with which to express one's footings.
Norfolk hns an anti-spitting ordi |
nance. It costs $10 pef spit In Nor
folk today according to the ordinance
books.
lint yon wore never arrested for the
crime. It would take a larger police
force than Norfolk can afford to enforce
force that law.
The way to persuade men not to
spit Is to show them just how easily
they may get and give disease dread
ed tuberculosis most of all by the
abominable habit.
The way to get men to refrain from
doing things that are wrong Is to give
them n new point of view. Men's own
minds , rather than ordinances , will
prevent profanity and spitting and n
lot of other habits which are Indulged
in.
CAN'T VOTE BONDS.
One of the newspapers in this part
of the state which had much to do [
with the agitation that threw the present
ent state legislature Into n panic , and
which therefore Is In a measure re
sponsible for the hysterical acts of the
lawmakers , Is now weeping largo sized
tears because the legislature , In keep
ing with some of the rest of Its fren
zied radicalism , has passed a law pro
lilbltlng the people of a precinct tc :
ote rnlliond bonds to aid In the con-
Htrnetlon of a railroad.
I'mler this new law the construction
if the Ynnkloii & Southwestern , If It
lependH aH tin1 promotorH sny upon
nunlelpal bonds , can not ho carried
nit and Norfolk ami other towim on
'ho north and south line cnn not now ,
f they desire votu the bomlH asked by
this lino.
PromotorH of the Sprlngvlew rail
road , which had plnnned to Htrlko from
Omaha Into Koya Palm county , can
not secure bonds now even If the people
ple of northern Nebraska desire to
grant them.
The law was passed probably llko
lot of other laws , without regard to
the sanity of the measure , but merely
liecauso It seemed to bo "against the
railroads. "
Hut the legislature was not to blame.
That Is what the legislature was soul
to Lincoln for to pasH anything and
everything which seemed to attack a
wild eyed corporation. Now they've
done their duty and some of the people
at homo who hat ] been laughing at the
argument for a year that the railroads
are a help In building up a new coun
try , are going Into mourning because
their right to help pay for rails Is
taken away.
It Is hardly apparent how thu legis
lature will justify Itself In depriving
any precinct to decide for Itself wheth
er or not It wishes to vote bonds for
a railroad. People of Nebraska are
not children and ought to ho able to
Judge for themselves whether or not
a business proposition IH worth their
money. Hut after all , the hysterical
demagogues at homo must take the
responsibility.
NOWOR'NEVEll FOR UNION DEPOT
A citizen of Norfolk asks why It Is
not possible to go ahead toward a un
ion depot , despite the fact that the
tract just north of Norfolk avenue has
been declared to ho out of the ques
tion.
tion.The
The suggestion of this resident of
the west side that now Is the time to
continue working for a union depot In
some other location than that north of
Norfolk avenue , Is timely. There Is
no reason why the effort should bo
dropped and there Is every reason why
all effort should bo exercised toward
this end.
Norfolk's welfare demands that ev
ery possible effort be made to secure
a union depot before n permanent city
station Is built by the Northwestern
to replace the ono destroyed by fire.
It Is no bad suggestion that Norfolk
take steps to learn If the Union Pacific
and the Omaha roads would serve In
an ideal way , so that not a rail need
be transferred In order to accommo
date all railroad companies. All effort
should continue toward trying to bring
main line trains of the Northwestern
up town.
The Northwestern railroad announc
es that It will build a new depot ur
town this year. Unless It Is a union
depot , the possibility of a union sta
tlon In Norfolk will be killed for prac
tlcally all time to come.
Now Is the psychological moment to
get a union depot tot Norfolk. No
possible effort should be spared li
this direction. There Is nothing to
lose and n union depot to gain.
The announcement that the stree
closing Injunction case will be carrlei
to a now trial , If possible , or to the su
promo court of the United States I
necessary , only goes to strengthen the
advisability of taking every posslbl
step toward a union station.
With this Injunction case tied up It
the courts , the matter of closing the
street , even If the council wore so in
cllned , Is practically done away will
so far as the Northwestorn's now sta
tlon Is concerned , for that railroad an
nounces that n now station will bo
built this year.
A union station , therefore , Is Nor
folk's only logical aim todny.
THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
The thirteenth annual report of the
1 Nebraska Industrial school for boys ,
Issued from the press of that Instltu-
i tlon nnd printed by the boys In the
school who nre learning the art pre
servative , Is a wonderfully artistic
I piece of work and ono which , withal ,
must attract a keener Interest in the
- great reform work that Is being done
at Kearney by Superintendent Hay-
ward.
The book contains the report of the
superintendent to the governor nnd Is
featured with half tone cuts of Gov
ernor Mickey. Governor Sheldon , Su
perintendent Hayward and others. It
Is also filled with n number of very
attractive halt tones reproducing like
nesses of the Institution , Its cottages ,
the carpenter shop , the printing of
fice , the tailor shop , the baseball team ,
the track team , the cement workers ,
etc.
Those who are Intimately ncqunlnted
with the school nnd Its work cnn not
speak too highly of the efficiency of
the superintendent , nnd the work that
ho Is doing. Ho hns been nt Uio Insti
tution for yenrs , hns a wonderful hold
upon the boys at the school and could
not bo replaced In less than n long
period if yenrs. It has taken years of
11oxputli n t"n build up to his present
efllclunct
it Is no "Aoniior , after ono has read
through the report of what the lads
are doing and after glancing at the
picture * of the military battalllon and
the Hhopworkers , that genuine reform
IH being wrought In the lads sent to
thlH Industrial school.
Nebraska IH fortunate In owning

( From Wednesday's Dnlly.l

sion of the teachers.
"Matters nro In good shape , " con
cluded Mr. Reed , "and pupils will nol
lose their standings on account of the
loss of records by fire. "
CHANCES SEEM TO BRIGHTEN
FOR THIS END.
SERIOUS EFFORT TO BE MADE
It Is Becoming Apparent That Union
Depot Sentiment Has Spread All
Over the City Meeting Is Arrangec
With Officials.
[ Fron ? Wednesday' ? Dally. ]
Prospects for a union passenger sta
tion In Norfolk brighten as It becomes
apparent that members of the Com
mercial club are anxious to make the
proper efforts for the realization o ;
the project. One of the directors o
the club stated to The News yesterday
day that , far from being discourage !
nt the outlook , ho personally thought
that a strong effort would be made to
liring the project to a successful con
elusion. While active steps along this
line have hardly been commenced , he
placed the union dcixjt as still wel
within the range of possibilities.
Yesterday the commlttteo appointee
by the club to ascertain the sentlmeiv
of the railroads towards a union depo
arranged for a conference with Gen
arranged for a conference with Mr
Braden and Mr. Reynolds of the North
western. On account of the absence
of one of the members of the com
mlttee from the city the conference
was postponed. This conference wll
probably be held within the next fev
days.
Union depot sentiment has spreac
beyond the originators of the Idea
It is seizing the people as a whole
As the matter passes through th
minds of the various citizens It will be
found that Norfolk as a whole Is set
ting her mind on a union station. The
Commercial club Is a public body. Its
prestige in Its actions for the public
good Is more than the mere prestige
of Its associated members. It speaks
for Norfolk as a city with a splendid
future when It asks for n union pas
senger station from the railroads.
"The union depot problem can not
bo solved by the railroad companies In
a minute nor the depot secured by the
Commercial club In a week's effort , "
were the words yesterday of a Nor-
folk citizen well acquainted with the
situation. "We know that the rail
roads will try to do the right thing by
Norfolk In this matter. We know that
Norfolk wants a union station. But
the matter does not end there. It Is
a complicated matter likely to call for
many adjustments. It may take
months to bring the several parties to-
gether on an equitable plan. I hope
that the Commercial club is going in
to this matter with the firm Intention
of seeing It through. Other cities in
Norfolk's situation have devoted over
a year's constant and Intelligent of-
fort to the winning of a union depot. "

FRANK BRINK AT PONCA ENTERS
"NOT GUILTY" PLEA.
FOR BESSIE NEWTON MURDER
Frank Brink , the Young Man at Ponca
Who Shot Himself Just After He Is
Charged With Having Shot Sweet
heart , Is on Trial.
Ponca , Nob. , March 13. "Not guil
ty" is the plea of Frank Brink whoso
preliminary hearing for the murder of
Miss Bessie Newton on the eve of her
wedding , February 5 , last , began here
yesterday before County Judge J. C.
Brown.
*
And not one of the dozen or more
witnesses examined could say that
Brink was at the Newton home the
day of the tragedy.
The prisoner , pale and evidently ex
cited , sat Intently listening to the tes
timony of the killing of his former
sweetheart He has never discussed
the matter with any one.
Three hundred people , many from
the country districts , packed the court
room evincing a lively Interest In the
proceedings. The prominence and
popularity of Miss Newton and Brink
makes this case ono of the most son-
sntlonal in the criminal annals of
Dlxon county.
The Only Facts Known.
If Frank Brink Is convicted of mur
der It will bo upon circumstantial ev
idence , unless lib himself chooses to
throw some light upon the mystery.
All that Is known Is that Brink was
greatly devoted to Miss Newton , that
when she announced to him she was
going to marry Edward O'Donneli ; of
Humboldt , Iowa , Brink Insisted she
would never marry anybody but him.
The day before the wedding date ,
Brink came to town , and remarked to
Town Marshal Boiler that there would
be no wedding next day. A half hour
later he left a cigar store when Miss
Newton's father entered , and n short
time afterward , Bessie Newton stng
gered from her own home , mortnlly
wounded.
Before she died she said simply , " 1
didn't do It. " Two young women who
saw Miss Newton fall noticed the form
of a man retreating and called , "Frank
come here , quick , " but got no response.
Ten minutes later Brink was found in
the street having shot himself three
times , it was thought fatally. The
bullets taken from the body of the
dead girl corresponded with those
probed from Brink's wounds.
Yet no ono saw Brink go to the
Newton home orsaw him there.
What Witnesses Say.
Edward Newton , father of the girl
alleged to have been murdered , was
the first witness. Ho told of Brink's
attachment for his daughter and spoke
highly of the accused. He testified
that while Brink was In Lincoln serv
ing on the federal grand jury , witness
received a postal card upon which was
the picture of a man pointing a re
volver threateningly. There was no
writing thereon , save the single In
itial "B. " Mr. Newton said he had
other letters from Brink , but burned
them up. Ho could not remember their
contents , but none contained threats
Oliver Newton , brother of the dead
girl , said he was at home when Brink
called during a visit of Mr. O'Donneli
to whom his sister was engaged. Wit
ness aid Brink shook hands with botl
and congratulated them. He hnd never
or heard of any threats made by Brink
and had always liked Jho young man
Warren Boiler , 4own marshal , testl
fled that Brink said to him the day o
the tragedy , "Bessie Newton will never
or marry O'Donnell. "
"i Didn't Do It. "
Mrs. T. H. Hodglns saw Miss New
ton rush from her home and fall In
the street. Witness hurried to the
girl and asked her what the matter
was. The only response was , "Oh ! "
Witnesses Trenn and McLnry tostl
fled to seeing Brink leave the cigar
store when Mr. Newton entered am
walk toward the Newton residence.
