THE NORFOLK WEEKLY NEWS-JOURNAL : FRIDAY , MARCH 22 , 1 J07.
HE REPLIES TO CRITICISM OF
WATER PRESSURE.
HE SLEEPS ON TOP OF BOILER
Norfolk's Faithful City Water Engi
neer Puts In Twenty-four Hours a
Day at the Water Station and Keeps
. Pumps Up to Limit.
Engineer Gus Graul of the city wa
ter plant docs not take kindly to crit
icism directed against the manage
ment of the plant for alleged poor lire
I pressure. This criticism , ho maintains -
tains , Is made without a knowledge
of the facts. The poor pressure nt
the high school fire , ho says , has no
other explanation than the small four-
inch water mains used to carry water
in that part of the city.
Graul spends pretty nearly the entire -
tire twenty-four hours nt his post of
duty. Working , swearing , coaxing nt
the engines during the day and liter
ally sleeping on top of the big hollers
at night , Graul thinks ho renders ser
vice to the city that ought to bo paid
for ether than In constant abuse.
Visitors calling at what hour they
please will find the standpipe nearly
full and eighty pounds of water pres
sure and sixty pounds of steam pres
sure registered on the gauges. At
7:30 : p. m. the pumping engines are
stopped with the standpipe full. Be
fore the pumps are started in the
morning perhaps fifteen or twenty feet
of water may have been used from
the standpipo. These are conditions
that prevail any day and which , Graul
declares , existed on the morning of
the Sunday flre. Ho said that ho had
the pump working before the firemen
had reached the fire Sunday. He
sights the Edwards & Bradford fire as
example of the pressure afforded
where the mains are of the proper
size.

tions regarding the new program. Pu

The first objection to bo brought
forth against J. D. Sturgeon as nomi
nee for mayor was the opinion among
many that ho would be kept away from
homo too much to take care of the
work. Mr. Sturgeon announces , how
ever , that he will be In Norfolk alto
gether from now on , so that this objec
tion is done away with.

ness office of The News Saturday
morning at 8 o'clock. Prices are 25c , 50c ,

clever actor's return to Norfolk In his
superior comedy , "We Are King. "
F. . P. Stone returned on the morning

but his signature Is assured.
A representative of the Rldpath Ice-
ture bureau was In Norfolk yesterday

tative of the lecture bureau made no
effort to take the matter up at this
time but will visit the city at a later
date to present he question of another
program of lectures.
A carload of rice and two carloads
of fruit Jars were distributed from
Norfolk this week. They were sold
by S. F. Ersklne , ono of the promi
nent commercial travelers out of Nor
folk , and Norfolk's geographical loca
tion made It advisable for his whole
sale house to ship direct to Norfolk in
carload lots and then redistribute from
here. This is but an Illustration ,
many bellovo , of what could bo done
on a much larger scale from Norfolk.
It would require $100,000 it'Is said to
establish a wholesale grocery house
hero , but many who are expertly post
ed In the business believe that such
an Institution would find success ,
Mrs. Marie Koch , mother of Mrs C.
Rudut and Mrs. Ixmlso Asnnls of Nor
folk , died Thursday night after a very
brief Illness at the home of Mrs. Ru-
dat The end was totally unexpected ,

been making her homo with Mrs. Ru
dat for four years. Rev. .1. P. Mueller

Junction politics are sadly twisted
and Junction mathematicians are
called on to figure out which party
holds the vantage point. Is Conductor
Pat Dolan , republican nominee for
Fourth ward councilman , a democrat ?
Did the democrats carry the Junction
republican caucus or did the repub
licans achieve a strategic victory by
nominating the most available demo
crat In the ward ? Hero lies material
for dally debates in the Junction
stores. The Junction democrats turned
their backs on their own caucus last
Tuesday and lot It go by default. The
Junction , too , Is a democratic strong
hold. The uptown politicians were
alarmed about the situation , however ,
nnd their frantic communications to
the south side resulted In a second
democratic caucus being called for to
night at Koerber's barber shop. De
termined to lev ) ( | . I'ot Dolan , the repub
lican notnliioo , wlH they nominate Pat
Dolan , the democrat , against him ? If
they do It will he a lively light for
Dolan means business and declares
that ho will glvo no quarter ,
An important damage suit brought
day. Mrs. Frye smes for $30,000 dam
county Is being followed with Interest
by Norfolk people familiar with the
details. The case Is now on trial In
the district court In Holt county , hav
ing been called for trial on last Mon
day. Mrs. Frey sues for $30,000 dam
ages based on the death of her hus
band alleged to have been caused by
the excessive use of Intoxicating liquor.
Frye previous to his death had pur
chased the saloon stock and unexplred
license of a saloon man at Atkinson.
His death occurred last fall. In suing
for $30,000 damages Mrs. Frye named
as defendants not only the saloon man
who had sold his business to her hus
band but also the various wholesale
dealers who had furnished him with
supplies. Service was made In Nor
folk on wholesale house agents as
wholesalers. Attorney Burt Mapes of
Norfolk is In attendance at the trial
as one of the attorneys for the defense.
The case Is bringing up many technical
legal points and may not be concluded
for several days. A suit resulting from
a saloon dealer drinking his own liquor
Is commented on as a strange case In
the court annals.
Evidences of the existence cither
of a spectral "bogy man" or of a ma
terialistic midnight prowler In Nor
folk continue to be offered In ways
disquieting to the peace of many Nor
folk families. The latest story comes
from North Ninth street. The visit of
the unwanted Intruder occurred last
Tuesday night before the stories of
other similar happenings had been
much afloat. Two Norfolk traveling
men make their homes In a double
house on North Ninth street. Tues
day evening both men being absent
their wives had another traveling
man's wife over to spend the night.
Toward midnight one of the women
was alarmed to hear a man apparent
ly stumbling about on the lower floor.
Her friends were equally frightened.
Fastening the door , barricading It with
a folding bed and then bracing their
barricade with other furniture , the
women waited In suspense , planning
the meanwhile for a possible escape.
After they had broken open a storm
window and were debating whether to
scream for help or to descend to the
ground by means of an Improvised lad
der of sheets , the uninvited visitor left
the house slamming the door behind
him. The door had a night lock and
locked when the man shut it. No
trace was left as to the Identity or
object ol th& night prowler. One ex
planation was that a drunken man
hhd In some way effected an entrance
to the house , at last leaving of his own
volition. The three women are still
positive that the prowler was "real"
and not a creation of the Imagination.
HOUSE DAMAGED BY FIRE.
Blaze Causes Loss of About $200 at
McComb House.
The homo of W. F. McComb at the
Junction was damaged by flre Friday
morning. The blaze originated in the
upper floor of the house , which Is a
story and a half frame structure. The
Junction department extinguished the
flro before the city companies had
progressed far over the rough roads.
The damage to the house and contents
will not reach $200 , fully covered by
Insurance. Mr. McComb , who Is a car
penter , Is working at Oakland , Calif. ,
at this time , but his family were at

Lincoln Dispatch Says Federal Court
Law Is No Good.
. .1.V. . McClary of Norfolk , deputy
federal court clerk HlntlouiMl lioro , IIIIH
received tui woul IIH to what liltt duties
shall lio. The two Judges Mungorlmvo
arranged u court schedule. A ills-
patch front Lincoln says that Norfolk
mid ether court ( OWIIH have boon hand
ed u lemon and that no real sessions
of court will ho hold under the now
law. How trim thin In nniHt ho dem
onstrated hy experience In the court
Under the arrangement all niotlotiH
or ordora arising In Lincoln , Hastings ,
Grand Inland and Mi : Cook divisions
will ho presented to and hoard hy
Judge 'I' . C. Mnngor at Lincoln , and
those arising In Omaha , Norfolk , Chad-

conio hol'oro Judge .lanioH W. Mungor.
This rule will apply at all times , except -
copt In case of HlcknoHH or absence
from ( ho bonol for ether roiiHoiiH of
olthor of the Judges , when Iho other
judge will hoar the motion.
This IH what the Lincoln dispatch
says :
Lincoln , Noli. , March 15. Lawyers
out In Iho state are beginning to HUH-
poet that ( hey have IKMMI handed a
loinon In the mat tor of the now federal -
al judicial dlvltdon bill of congress.
Ono nf Iho complalnlH ( hat IUIH hoon
moHt frequent was that every lawyer
In the slate , no matter where ho re
sided , had to try all of IIH ! cases In
Omaha 'I'horo waH nothing In the law
that compelled thlH , hut the Judge and
clerks and Iho inarHhal , all of whom
reside In Omaha , have evidenced mich
dlHlncllnatlon to journeying elsewhere
to hold court that us n mat lor of dls-
crollon the lawyers have always "con
sented" to trying tholr cases at Oinahn
notwithstanding that the law provided
for terms at Lincoln , Hastings and
Norfolk. In recent years the sot terms
elsewhere than Omaha have become
regular farces , court meeting only to
adjourn ,
When the hill giving the slate two
judges and a redlstrlctlng was passed ,
the lawyers were gratillcd to know
that It provided that terms of court
should he held at eight different cities
In the slnto fit which all the cases
originating In that district must ho
tried and that a clerk ( o keep the
records must ho appointed In each.
Hut they have already discovered that
their dreams are over.
Clerk Thmnmel , of the circuit court ,
and Clerk lloyt , of the district court ,
have announced that ( hey will appor
tion a salary of hut $10 a month to
each of these clerks , except at Lincoln
where they propose to put In aGO
man. These clerks will merely re
ceive tilings , rubber stamp them and
forward them to Omaha. This Is tak
en by the lawyers to mean that the
clerks don't propose to do any moro
traveling than they must , and that the
court term will be mere by-stations on
the round trip to and from Omaha.
BURGLARS MAKE HAUL AT H. W.
WINTER STORE.

The harness store of H. W. Winter
at 127 Norfolk avenue was robbed last
night by a midnight burglar who ef
fected an entrance to the store by a
rear window. Over a hundred dollars
worth of goods were stolen from the
store. Clues pointing to the possible
Identity of the burglar or burglars are
slight.
The first man to reach the Winter
store this morning found the back door
to the store standing open and a rear
window smashed open. Several blan
kets and harness supplies were scat
tered on the floor. The men had left
the store at 9:15 : o'clock last evening.
Foot prints embedded In the frozen
ground led to and from the window
and door. These foot prints apparent
ly lead from the rear of the Winter
store to South Second street , whore
a light wagon had driven up during
the night. The trail of the wagon led
south. The foot marks might have
been made by a young man with com
paratively small feet.

Legislative Work.
Lincoln , Neb. March H ! . The slahl
and solemn judiciary committee pur
potralod a joke on the senate. S. F.
line , to punish wife heating , was ordered
dored placed on Iho general file "as
amondod. " The iimcndmont consisted
of a seiHJiiH Swol'armhpat'sln oflE
of a scale of saloon exclusion prlvl
leges. In cities and towns of less
( ban two bundled population there
should bo ono saloon license Issued
and so on up lo cities of five thousand.
The "liberal element , " headed by
Senaors ( Ashton and Hymen , Immedi
ately hastened to kill ( lie bill. There
was roll call and u skirmish for posl
( Ion. The roll call showed that elgh
( eon opposed placing the bill on gen
eral file and ten favored tills course.
Then Senator Epperson changed his
vote that ho might move to recon
sider.
The question of restricting the num
ber of saloons in villages has been de
bated nt length and defeated by n
narrow margin. In a waggish speech
this morning Senator Epperson de
clared that the restriction of saloons
In the small towns was the best pos
sible remedy for wlfo healing.
Stock food manufacturers received
a rude thrust In the .senate. Senator
Epperson made a motion that the
state chenitat analyze all stock foods
sold In the state and publish the for
mulae for the benefit of the farmers.
The stock food manufacturers have
directed a fight against section 8 of
the pure food bill and the bitterness
resulting from this light has caused
much comment in Iho senate. The ac
tion of Epperson Is mandatory and the
analysis 'must be made and published
at an early date. Stock food repre
sentatives may make a motion to re
consld&r the action.
The senate passed Scuddor's antl
hobo bill. This measure provides that
tramps who attempt to steal rides
may he arrested and fined. The mea
sure will now go to the governor. It

E. W. Drown permits the cities nnd
villages of the state to use money to
establish detention homes and cures

Coders bill , II. R. 177 , permitting
a double shift system In the Omaha
flre department , was passed and sent
to the governor.
Representative Killen's anti-bridge
trust bill was passed by the senate.
This measure forbids | > oollng on the
prices of bridge contracts.
The anti-nuisance bill of Represen
tative Bryam of Burt , was passed by
the senate. This measure allows vil
lages and small towns to refuse to
license howling allows , billiard halls
and all such resorts.
The senate then took up the rail
way commission bill and debated Its
provisions at length. The measure
empowers the railway commissioners
to adjust freight rates and gives this
body control of all the public service
corporations.
Do Not Crowd the Season.
The first warm days of spring bring
with them a desire to got out and en
joy the exhilarating air and sunshine.
Children that have been housed up all
winter are brought out and you won

heavy winter clothing Is thrown aside
and many shed tholr flannels. Then
a cold wave comes and people say
