NORFOLK GAS PLANT. Water and lighting service form the two principal kinds of soml-public ser vice rendered in a city of Norfolk's size. The water problem Norfolk has solved by a successful experiment In municipal water works. In lighting service the people of the city have secured good results from private com panics companies organl/ed and dl reeled by citizens of Norfolk. This second field is occupied by the Norfoll Blectrict Light & Power Co. and the Norfolk Light & Fuel Co. Norfolk has had gas service for five years. In 1902 the Norfolk Light & Fuel company was organized with a eapital of $50,000. This company This company , which has supplied the goa service of Norfolk , was formed largely through the efforts of G. A , Lnlkart , the first president of the company. 'a. The change in process required the . installation of a big gas holder of 10- 000 cubic feet capacity , a now gen erator , a hydraulic gas purifier , a hy draulic scrubber and a final purifier. Coke , crude oil and steam make the gas that Norfolk uses today. Over the red heated coke in the generator n ( stream of cnulo oil and steam Is forced. The generator , which turns out the gas In the crude form , has a capacity of 5,000 cubic feet of gna an hour. This crude gas is sent through the purifiers by steam pres sure. When the gas has boon driven through the purifiers It Is forced Into the big gas holder which takes the place of the stand pipe of the wntor system. Fifty gallons of tar Is ob tained each month from the purifiers , nnd Is the only byproduct yielded by the gas process , Norfolk people use the gas for light nnd for cooking. In the city thcro are 2,700 gas light ? In private homes and In business houses. Three hundred Norfolk wompn cook by gas ranges. Gas engines have not been brought Into general use in Norfolk for power purposes as the old gas system was not adapted to meeting the require ments of this service. Twelve miles of gas mains hnvo been laid In the city. Two and a half miles of laterals connect with these ) > "ilns. With the successful Installation of the now system the company Is en- j terlng on a field of new prosperity. I The net rate on gas was reduced on February 1 from $1.80 to $1.70 per thousand cubic feet. The gas busi ness Is one whore Increase in cus tomers warrants a general reduction In rates. The present olllcors of the Norfolk Light & Fuel company are : J. W. Ransom , president ; H. L. Suydor , secretary ; H. J. Cole , treasurer ; J. \V. Ransom , II. L. Snyder , C. E. Doughty , H. J. Cole nnd H. T. Holden , directors. F. K. Fulton for four years past has served us manager of the oi'ipany. These men are all well known and ilghly respected In Norfolk. They lave lived In the city for many years and the success of the gas Industry ias been largely duo to their personal efforts and Interest ; to their Interest n the city and their confidence In Norfolk's future was due the Installa- Ion in the first place of this now In- lustry and this new comfort.

Old Chief Can Smile. It was an amiable lot of red men and none more so than Chief Rocky Bear , an old Slonx chief who goes over the show route this summer for the first time In twenty years. Eight-four years old today , Rock Bear was one of the first Indians who went out with Buf falo Bill's Wild West. Now after twenty years away from the show arena , he goes forth again to typify the days of the red men , whose reign Is a fast fading memory even In these western lands. The Indian man can smile.

GREGORY ISJJVELY TOWN Business Men There Say They Will be Protected and Not Injured. The business men of Gregory. S. D. said to bo one of the liveliest commu nities to be found anywhere In the northwest , are not and have not at any time contemplated a plan to file Injunc tion against the Northwestern railroad , preventing an extension to Dallas , ac cording to C. H. Groesbeck , who re turned on the early train from a trip into the Rosebud country. It is said that the people of Gregory entertain only the most kindly sentiment toward the Northwestern railroad and Its offi cials , as was shown by the fact that they purchased and gave to the North western eight miles of right of way leading into Gregory. Gregory busi ness men are said to place confidence in the Northwestern and believe that Gregory Interests will be protected since it is said that an official of tht railroad In Chicago assured a rcpre sentatlve of the Gregory Commercia club that no action would ever bo tnk en that would Injure the town of Greg ory.

WHAT THE NEW ELECTION LAW MEANS TO NORFOLK , AND TO COUNTY POLITICS There Will be no More Nominating Conventions Candidates Must File Their Nominating Petitions a Month ' Before Primary Election.

LOCH I vol ts knovv the conventions mid the a ciiH ; they have been attending or voiding thorn for lo HIOHO many ears. Hut a revolution lias struck hlngs political and few v j > ern have tore than a vague Idea of the lin- ortant details of the new 'aw ' that irlngs a radical change to Nebraska olltlcs. Voters who have hurriedly examined no now law are In many cases not inch wiser than their fellows. Sov- ral of the sections apparently con- let ; others are loosely framed and not asy to decipher. The new statute ontalns a provision that It shall bo Iberally construed and liberal con- tructlon may have to bo called Into ctlon to put the now law on Its feet. What over the new law may mean n some of Its details It Is pretty clear hat It puts an olllclal "ban" on the onvcntlon. The convention has not icon entirely driven from Nebraska , lowovor , for city conventions will still lourlsh In the smaller cltleii of the tale. Norfolk will still bold city con ventlons and nominate Its candidates or city and school district ofllces af- or the present custom. Section 1 of ho now law provides that the act hall not apply "to special elections o fill vacancies , nor to municipal elec- Ions in cities having less than 25,000 lopulatlon , villages , township , nnd chool district ofllcers , nor to mem- > ors of boards of education. " No more Madison county conven- Ions , no moro legislative conventions , no more judicial conventions , no more congressional conventions , no more state conventions , which In years past mve enlivened the times and quick ened the party spirit , will be no more mder decree of the legislature. The new state-wide primary law provides that thcKe conventions shall be dis carded in making nominations for gen eral elections and can be brought intt isc only for special elections to fill vacancies. No more Battle Creek conventions for Madison county. On the first Tuesday In September Madison county voters In common with the voters of the other counties of the state will go to their precinct voting place and , participating in a direct primary elec- ; lon under regular election forms , will nominate all the party candidates to bo voted on at the November election , ncludlng United States senator. The polls in Madison county will bo open 'rom 12 in. to 9 p. m. The election will be under the supervision of the regular election judges. The prima ries of all parties will bo held at the same plnce , at the same time and tin ier the control of the same election loards. When the Madison county voter goes to the primary next September 10 will have to declare his party nflll- atlons. If n voter Is challenged he must make oath as to his party nllllla- : lens nnd as to his Intention of sup porting nt least a majority of the par- ; y candidates before he can partici pate In the primary of that party. The voter then receives a ballot of the party with which he adHlates. The names of the candidates for the party nominations are arranged In alphabetical order under the nomina tion which they seek. The person receiving the greatest number of votes In his party primary for nn ofllce shall bo the candidate of the party for that office and his name will bo printed on the olllclal ballot as the party candi date. This form of the primary is known as the "closed primary" be cause only republican voters partici pate In republican nominations nnd only democratic voters make demo cratic nominations. Candidates who desire to ask the voters of their party for the party nomination may have their names printed on the ballot of their party by filing the proper nomination papers nnd by paying the filing fee. Or If modesty interposes , twonty-flvo quali fied voters of the party may place the candidate In nomination In the same manner. These nomination papers must bo filed with the county clerk T with the secretary of state ( accordIng - Ing ns the office is elective In moro than one or moro counties ) at least thirty days before the holding of the primary.

[ From Mondny'H Dnlly.l "Clairvoyant , palmist , card reader and Under of lost and stolen property" all those occupations did not servo to keep "Madam" Strack of Norfolk busy. At moments when the demand for hidden treasure waned the "mad am" turned to euro and heal the sick. That was where she bumped Into the law and afforded County Attorney Koenigstein the opportunity to charge a violation of the state medical laws.

Ten dollars of the fine was paid , the remainder of the amount standing against her in the court docket The madam was released to raise this amount and to make arrangements to leave the city. For the fortune teller must go. The county attorney has told her that half a dozen more charg es will be filed If she remains in Nor folk. folk.Madam Madam Strack turned "topsy turvy" a Norfolk neighborhood In which she chose to operate. Frightened women and disrupted households followed in her wake according to the tales brought to the county attorney's office. Then there was the lard treatment. The "Lard" Treatment. "I rubbed 'em with lard , 1 washed 'em with hot water and I said 'Tho pain is going away. The pain Is go ing away. The pain is going away. ' and It went away. " Madam Strack thus laid bare the method of her heal ing powers In justice court Saturday. A fortune telling In her office at 225 Norfolk avenue , the "madam" was interrupted Saturday afternoon by the warrant from Justice l ambort's court calling her to account for the alleged Illegality of her professional methods. The charge against Madam Strack was preferred by Mrs. Angusto Nclgcnllnd , whose eighteen-year-old brother. Aug ust Gruchow. had taken the lard treat ment without showing vislble'lmprove- IK'Ilt. Scorned $1.50 to Find Gold. "The charges brought against me rpiosont spileork , " the madam told he justice. "At one time I was hired o llnd a pot of burled gold near Ha- .lar. When I got to Hadar I was of- Vivtl a dollar and a half to find the gold. A dollar and a half to find bu rled tensure ! ! 1 scorned their offer a person must make money In my buslnos. This was the beginning of the trouble. " Madam Strack pleaded guilty to the charge of practicing medicine without authority. ? he was told by the county attorney that charges of even a more serious utituie might be filed against her.
