HIE NORFOLK WK10KLY NIJJWS-JOllUKNAIi : FRIDAY .lUNU , 7 , 11)07. ) W. N. HUSE GETS A. O. U. W. OR- CAN CONTRACT AGAIN. DESPITE FORMER CONGRESSMAN Down-And-Out McCarthy , With Hench men , Made Fight of Life to Prevent Contract Returning to Norfolk. Longest Record for One Publisher. [ From Tuesday's Dally. ) The Nebraska Workman , ofllclnl or gan of the Ancient Order of United Workmen In Nebraska , will continue to be published In Norfolk. W. N. HHBU , who has edited and published the Workman for the past ten years , has returned from Grand Island with n new contract for the paper's publi cation. The contract was brought back to Norfolk this year In the face of a bitter light made by ex-Congressman J. J. McCarthy of Ponca and some of hlH peers , who sought revenge against The News and Its editor because of the Ponca statesman's failure to se cure a renomlnatlon4 In the republican congressional convention of the Third district last summer. Means Something to Norfolk. The publication of the Workman In Norfolk means that considerable mon ey will continue to be distributed In Norfolk each month as a direct result of the work. A number of persons find employment In The News olllce solely OH account of the work con nected with this publication and the money that this force of people earns goes Into circulation among all lines of business In Norfolk. Besides the employment that Is giv en regularly to people In The News office on account of this contract , con siderable business Is created by this publication for draymen , postal clerks , etc. , each month. There are now published , for the Ancient Order of United Workmen and the auxllllary order , the Degree of Honor , nearly GO.OOO copies of this paper each month. This means that several carloads of paper a year must be shipped Into Norfolk , transferred by dray to the printing plant and then , after being converted by type and Ink Into the official lodge organ , hauled again by dray to the postofflce. Naturally , the city's postoffice busi ness Is boomed quite materially dur ing the course of a year by this Inci dent in Its monthly routine. While some of the Income for this printing naturally goes for white jier,1 by far the greater portion of the funds are converted Immediately Into labor and remain right here to be spent in Norfolk. Down-And-Out McCarthy There. Down-and-out McCarthy , who one time disfigured Nebraska's Third con gressional district as. Its official rep resentative In Washington , smarting under his failure to succeed himself on the Job , got out with a hatchet and made the fight of his life to prevent the return of this contract to Norfolk. Although not sent to the grand lodge of the order by his own lodge at Pen ca as a delegate , Mr. McCarthy made a trip over the state and then went to Omaha with the avowed purpose of cleaning up the Norfolk publisher who once got Into a libel suit In McCar thy's defense. But in spite of all that the ex-states man could do , the contract was re turned to Norfolk , the present pub lisher being the lowest responsible bidder and therefore , under the order of the grand lodge , entitled to the work. work.With With the Issue of July the Workman will have been published in Norfolk for ten consecutive years , this being "a much longer time than the contract has ever before been held by any one publisher.

NOT TO EXTEND FROM DALLAS Herrlck Press Finds Little Evidence of Any Survey.

A report from Plorro stating that urvoyors have been laying out stakes orth of the White river , IH furnishing icat for Iho stories. Ono report says hat depot plans at Phillips , S. D. , all for a much moro elaborate sta- Ion than those at Midland , which was ormerly considered the point at vlilch the extension might connect vlth the now road across South Da- iota. iota.The The Herrlck Press takes little stock n those stories and says : Just now there Is a great deal being aid about the C. & N.
