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.

The Herrlck Press takes little stock

There have also been persistent ru-
nora of a gang of surveyors working
