It IB claimed that Governor Crawford and Senator Gamble wore left off tlio list. of Invitations for a re ception given In Taft'B honor. As a result Gninblo and Crawford were very angry and Crawford's candidacy for Senator Klttredgo's toga has been def initely announced by Senator Gamble. NORFOLK GLAD TO SEE TAFT. . . Norfolk will be Kind to see Secretary or War Taft Tuesday noon. For many years Miv Taft has been In the nation- nloye , and In various capacities. He was a success as governor of the Phil- Ipplnes , he succeeded In straightening out Cuba and ho has done a good many other dllllcult tasks. President Roosevelt velt reganlB him as the ablest mem- bur of his cabinet today and la anxious that the secretary Bhall bo nominated to succeed him. ThlH Is the llrst time the secretary tivor passed through Norfolk. Ho Is In the west Inspecting military forts. Regardless of politics , Norfolk will bo glad to sco and hear the man so long known In the cartoons. The mission of the secretary Is non-political , and It will bo a general and cordial wel come that Norfolk wll extend to him Tuesday noon at the Junction depot. PACKERS GAIN.A POINT. A new element Is creeping Into the flght waged between packers and com mission men , in which the packers are seeking to withhold payment for "she" cattle until after postmortem examina tion. The farmers who have been los- Ing much on this class of stock be- cmiso of the boycott Istltuted by com mission men against the packers , are beginning to ask why tbo rule , after all , Is not a good one. They nro be ginning to reason that , slnco all heal thy stock is to bo paid for under the now rule , the loss will fall only on those farmers who raise diseased stock and who ought to sustain the loss. They doclarp that the now rule will force unclean yards to bo cleaned up , and diseased herds to bo weeded out. " ' * A number of farm papers are begin ning to take this stand and are urging farmers to bring pressure to bear upon commission men to quit the battle. PRIMARY AND NEWSPAPERS. In this coin mini will appear all an nouncements of candidates for nomina tion before the primaries as provided by the new law. For such announce ments a uniform price of $5,00 will bo charged for county "and state olllces without reference to party alllllatlons. Payable In advance. Announcements to run until primaries if desired. Spencer Advocate. The News has always contended that newspapers of the state will be ' chlelly benellted as a result of the now primary law enacted by the last Ne braska legislature and which is ached- nled for trial this summer for the llrst time. No primary law that has proven satisfactory to the voters has yet been adopted by any state and there will no doubt be features in the . law this year to provoke unpopularlt > for the now measure. But the law was enacted at the request of all partj platforms and the public ought to have a chance to try It. One of the first features evident Is the power of the newspapers to control the nominations of nil parties. The best advertised men will win. And one of the firs problems up against which candidates will find themselves Is the problem o publicity. Advertising In papers be fore the primary Is not going to be in expensive , the above clipping fron the Spencer Advocate showing tha Boyd county candidates for uornlnn tlons In either party will pay for th advertising space In that paper at $ per , while dallies in larger centers o population , reaching more people , wll no doubt charge higher rates , In ac cordance with their circulations. To a certain extent the snmo syston has been witnessed by Nebraska fo Borne years , in the Douglas county prl mnrles. People out through the stat will recall having seen photographs o all candidates , republican and demo cratic , Inserted In the advertising col urnns of all papers some days befor the primaries. The candidates foun that the easiest way to reach the vet era with announcements of their can dldncy for nomination , was through the newspapers , and It was demon strated that the men -whose names were best known by the voters gen erally won. POLITICAL OFFICE. Minister Conger died and left $1,000 to hit ) helrH. While It Is true that ho left a good name In lieu of riches , It IK al BO true that a man who had spent hlH lifetime In the Borvlcu of his coun try "ought to Imvobewi bettor , paid ( luui IhU. There In no rOiiHon why a iimnvof MlnlHter CoiiK < ) r'H , ability , de voting nil of hlH onewleH In behalf of the government , should not have been repaid In a material way an liberally HH though he had Bpent his time 'and Vnlirgy In Ills own behalf. AH It Hlandu today , there In little In ducement for a young man to enter politics for lil.H life's work , and there urn many liiduccmi'iitH to keep out , The HalarloH often are attractive enough , but they are salaries tliutcomg easy and go uimy and when they Bud- denly como to an end , the olllce holder who has been drawing the big chocks , a at a loss which way to turn. Ho uH no biiHlncHH of his own , the work hat ho has learned was for building p the government business , and ho us accustomed himself to waya ol Ivlng In keeping with position and alary , which are dllllcult to quit. . If Minister Conger had been In bust less for himself It IB Bafo to say that 10 would have left enough In a ma erlal way to his widow and children o keep the wolf from the door. There s nothing disgraceful about poverty nit after giving over his llfo to hare vork a man Is entitled to enough of an accumulation to leave his depcn lents In at least comfortable clrcum stances. This being true In private ndustry , H ought to be true of public Hervlce. Hut the example afforded by Conger and many another man tends 0 Hhow that the field of politics Is no as lucrative In dollars and cents as 1 ought to bo , service considered. True t Is that Conger and many another o ils kind have left honorable names to heir holrR , but Just as long hard ser vlco In private Industry has as Its uiBsihlo reward both honor and a com lotency , so the same faithful service 'or the public ought to haVo' as grea 1 possible reward hung up'atrthe otho end of the lino. Just how this is eve o bo brought about , though , Is a per ) loxlng problem. That higher sala lea will not accomplish the end Is apparent , slnco the higher salarlc would go with ease Just as lower one go. But nndcr existing conditions , the leld of politics must to a largo exten continue to be a pretty expensive lux ury for' most men to Indulge In , In the long run. THE CENTURY "STUNG. " Richard Watson Glider has boei stung. Mr. Gilder Is editor of the Century magazine and the Ccnturj prints , In Its current Issue a letter eVictor Victor Hugo In which the author describes scribes his purpose In writing "Le Mlserahles. " An introductory para graph says that "it Is believed to be ai unpublished letter. " But the letto turned out to be a lemon. "Old subscribers" began writing Im mediately after the publication of the letter , to tell the editor that the letter In question had been published quite generally as an addendum to "Les Mlserables. " Many reprints at pres ent circulating In the country contain It. Richard Watson Gilder Is a brother of Robert Gilder , one of the live men on the Omaha World-Herald. The Omaha Gilder found the oldest man's frame that has yet been dug up In America. Perhaps he might give his brother a few suggestions In 'the art of being accurate. But after all It's a satisfaction that oven the magazines are not perfect. This Is the explana tion given by one of the Century ed itors : "Tho letter was sent to us by a friend of the Countess Rozadowska , whoso husband was formerly Italian consul at Chicago. The countess found It among the papers of her father , Count Pope , who died some years ago. We had a search made of the volumes of Hugo's correspondence In the Astor library and the man we as signed to the task reported the letter could not bo found. We also submitted the letter to a Hugo export , and ho pronounced It genuine , so wo thought ourselves safe in publishing it. " STATE AND NATION. The confusion foreseen by President Roosevelt as a result of efforts of both state and nation to regulate commerce , has been exemplified In Missouri. A conflict of authority has arisen and the transportation companies are obey ing the Unlted States court's order , disregarding the order of the state court. Just such confusion as this , foreseen by the president , caused him to deliver his recent address urging that the control of all commerce , Intrastate - trastate and Interstate , Is the function of the federal government and not the function of the several states , which by passing unequal laws place discriminations upon the citizens of some states as compared with those of others. It was to this doctrine , ad vanced by the president , that Com missioner Williams of Nebraska took exception. President Roosevelt points out Just such conditions as are to bo found between Norfolk and BonoBtoel , to * Il lustrate hla argument. , > 1A. trip on through to BoncBteel or IFalrfar'being ! on interstate trip and therefor1 "cmt > , J > T n" j J llj.ll 4 * ' ' Ido the Jurisdiction of any state roll ; vay commission , costs three cents a illo.

AH a result , however , people travel- ng from one state to another suffer llHcrlmlnntlon as compared with peo- lie traveling within any given state. ) lBcrlinlnatlon Is abominable. That Is ono of the main things that has occti- iled the public's attention In America or many moone There ought to be to discrimination. Yet there Is no remedy , so long ns a state has Juris diction over commerce within Its bor- lers , while the federal government controls transportation between states. The president Insists that the state Is nit of order In trying to control any transportation and that It nil belongs to the federal government , which ilono could equalize and adjust condi tions to the end that all states and all peoples would pay equally , Just as Is the case In postal matters. If each state were to control Intrastate - state postal affairs , with a federal de partment to control Interstate postage matters , somewhat the same confusion would result which Is now seen In the efforts of states and nation to control , variously , the two classes of transpor tation. Commissioner Williams argues that congress has power only to control such matters as are delegated to It by the states. President Roosevelt takes the view that congress has certain constitutional functions to perform , and that Is ono of them. FOR GREATER NORFOLK. Few people in Norfolk realize how vitally Important are the railroads to this city's prosperity and possibilities for growth , until their attention Is di rected to the statistics which show that pretty nearly half Norfolk's pop ulation Is made up of railroad families , and that many more homes are occu pied hero and many business Institu tions prospering hero because of Nor folk's advantageous location , created because this Is a railroad center and a gateway to the new northwest. Without the advantages of being a railroad center , Norfolk would lay claim to a population equal to that Of any village with a limited farm area around it from which to draw trade. Norfolk's railroad population is Just about as big today as it ever need be to operate the railroads in and out of here. Railroad extensions will mean a few more commercial travelers for the town. But unless Norfolk seeks growth in two directions , the town has about reached Its limit. One of these routes for growth lies In the estab lishment of more factories here which will give employment and mean pay rolls. Every factory added will mean the support of Just that many more people in tlio community and there fore Just that much of an Increased population. The other route lies In the development of the possibilities which can come out of the immense territory madd tributary to Norfolk by the railroads centering here. The matter of securing new facto ries Is not an easy one and yet Nor folk believes that It can be done and will be done for this city. With the present tendency of factories away from the cities to smaller towns , where rents are lower and labor diffi culties lessened , the problem is made easier than it was a few years ago. And every factory secured will mean the addition of Just that many people to Norfolk's population. The matter of developing the terri tory tributary to Norfolk'ls now nndcr way , Norfolk business men having re cently organized for trade promotion. The more business developed , the more prosperity will It mean for Norfolk and the more people to do .the work. If this development Is to succeed , co operation and absolute harmony among the city's business institutions is es sential and It Is believed that never before has there existed the wholesome - some feeling of fellowship and union In a single purpose of bulldlnc a creat or Norfolk , among business folk of the city , that exists In the town today. Northern Nebraska wants a city In Its midst. The northwest would much' prefer to build up a prosperous city here than to be constantly drained In the building up of cities far away whoso interests are anything but iden tical with this section. Much business that has btfen going to Omaha and Sioux City can be brought to Norfolk. New lands In southern South Dakota , tributary to Norfolk , are being opened to settlement and to secure the friendship - ship of those settlers now is to win It for all time In Norfolk's behalf. The day may 'come , and not at a great distance , when it will be too late for Norfolk to get out and take ad vantage of opportunities which pre sent thqmsolyes today. With the building'of'a rallfoar .from Nlobrara to Sioux City , with the extension of the Norfolk-Bonesteel line to some point on the new Plerro-jhqpld City line , the country northwest of Norfolk Is going to be placed .nearer both Sioux 'pjay ' and Pierre , and * at Norfolk'iT tex- ponse. 4. ' ' ' The day is not far distant When " > < i 'H t - > -u .1' uml , f ft I' ' a ' 'ft ru.

This will mean more difficulty for Norfolk In keeping Intouch , with the Black Hills territory , which-today' exclu sively tributary \0) Norfolk ! because It Is many hours closer to Norfolk than to any other city. And the building of a railroad from Sprlilgvlew , In Keya Palm county , If such a road la .bullt , to Omaha , will take another section now closest to Norfolk , tributary to the southern part of the state : ' ' Norfolk's opportunity for securing a foothold In that section and , by approaching preaching the quality of mercantile stocks found In larger cities , Insuring the city's growth In business Is better today than It has ever been before or ever will bo again. This fact is rec ognized by commercial Norfolk and the business interests of the town are preparing to build up a trade that has hitherto gone through Norfolk Instead of stopping here. CONSTRUCTION THE NEED. In his address to the National Ed itorial association , President Roosevelt velt emphasized the necessity for avoiding hysteria in the pursuit of evils and he particularly deplored the habit which has seized many newspapers and magazines of the country In nrous Ing hatred against men merely be cause they are wealthy , or merely be cause they chance to bo engaged In this or that line of business. The pres Ident pointed out the unwholesome condition which arises when the pub lic press creates hostility among the masses to any line or lines of Industry "There are good and bad men In everj walk of life , " lie said , "and being good or bad does not depend upon whethei they do or do not have large bank ac counts. " While commonplace In a common place season , these remarks by the president Just at this time have slgnlfi cance. For some months past there has been a hysteria wave sweeping over the nation , due partly to the hys tcrlc editors of whom the president complains and partly to political dem ngogues seeking office , that it has be come a popular theory In many places that all United States' senators are corrupt ; that all railroad men are un scrupulous criminals and that captains of industry , particularly If they have gained1 largo bank accounts , must bo designing robbers to have ever at tallied their possessions. It has been nn unhealthful condition of public mind as the president says , and It has worked evil In so discrediting manj business enterprises of the nation tha progress in nn Industrial way , Just a a time when It ought to flourish most has been retarded in a serious way. President Roosevelt and Garlner La throp agree in this matter and both have expressed practically the same Ideas within the past few days. Ex President Cleveland has referred to the hysteria the "anti-railroad ' ns - mania , and some have gone so far as to term it rallwayphobla. President Roosevelt volt In his Indianapolis Memorial day address pointed out how many state legislatures , In passing laws hostile to the railroads , had injured the states themselves and as a means of over coming such destructive policies worked out In the heat of passion am as a means of revenge rather than correction , ho suggested that all au thorlty In the matter of transportation regulation must be centered in the federal government. Ho also polntec out how , by this means , such Inequal itles as exist between Nebraska and South Dakota In passenger fares , could bo equalized , allowing nil states to b equally fairly treated. The president In his speech at Nor folk this week again touched np6n th widespread attacks that have been made upon various corporatio'ns , am declared that actions against the pub He Interest should be treated as wrong to bo cbrrected , not ns wrongs to b avenged. ' Along this same line o thought , Mr. Lathrop's statement Is of Interest when lie says that in the whole union last year only two" state legislatures refused to pass laws In imical , to the railroads , while of all the hundreds of bills Introduced , not one was introduced that would in any way benefit a railroad. The president's ad vice , therefore , that correction and not revenge should be sought , seems not untimely In view of the almost mad ness which has carried many states to the extreme of being willing and ready to destroy themselves , provided only that they could also destroy the ob jects of their hatred. Destroying the credit of any business Institution , and particularly the rail roads which develop states , can not but reflect In injury to the states which need development. Nebraska and South Dakota , are today in need of more railroads. Norfolk wants a railroad frorri Yanktpn tothegulfj South Dakota 'vmnjB railroads' across the Rosebud plains and her iria'ny o'th' er thousands , pt acres of virgin 'son.

Any- no who has ever lived In nn Inland ommunlty , or who bns owned land off the railroad , " well realizes that t means when steel rails' at last egln to point in that direction and ow much more It means when whls- ling locomotives draw well laden relght trnlna In and out of those re- Ions hitherto ungrldlroned by ribbons f metal. To appreciate this fact the more , ono ms but to know the sentiment of the people up on the Rosebud reservation icfqro the Northwestern extended to Dallas ; or to note the balloon-like as- ensign In real estate values as soon np the extension was definitely an nounced. One has but to note on do- crlptlons sent out to Investors Inter ested in farm loans , the weight car ried for any property that Is within a short distance of this or that railroad. The Atn'erlcan Manufacturers' assocla- Ion .which met the other day recog nized this damage to the country's jrosperity that has been wrought by bitterly attacking industrial instiUir loijs. After deprecating the passage of two-cent faro laws and other arbi trary reductions of railway charges without regard t6 conditions or circum stances and expressing the hope that 'this craze of denunciation will soon pass , " resolutions declared : "The railroads are vitally related to our prosperity , and to attack them need- essly Is to attack ourselves. " Along with the revengeful attacks which prompted the president to utter a word of caution to editors of the country , lest hysteria carry us Into a grave condition of finance , the rail roads haVe had to contend with great ly increased cpst of material , Increaset cost of labor all along the line , In- created taxes and reduced Incomes It would not be surprising , In the face of these conditions , if railroad build Ing were to fall off from former years in w.estern states which have , untl the railroads carry In settlers , little to offer In return for expenditures. And it Is because of this suicidal folly that has been fanned Into flame by headlines and demagogues hunting political offices , that business Interests of the country Join In the hope thai calmer Judgment may prevail and thai construction may be encouraged ra ther than destruction done. AROUND TOWN. Notice the drop in temperature ? It resulted from the association of Sen atprs Gamble and Kittredge of South Dakota , in Norfolk. The Fourth of July is two weeks away. Burt Barrett met Taft at the train after all. There's no denying that Charlie Groesbeck is a live wire. Don't abuse the dandelion. They say It's good for greens and wine. It's more work to find a man to mow the lawn than it Is to do it yourself. The cow is Jumping over the moon according to beef prices quoted In Chi cago. The concensus of opinion seemed to be that Taft wasn't as fat as the > thought he was. Why is It that the person who can' wake up ordinary mornings , never can sleep 011 Sundays ? Taft said he knew north Nebraska crops were good because Norfolk wo men were well dressed. Secretary Ta-ft's son has Just won honors In a Greek class. He Is a freshman at Yale this year. With a lawn mower as his argument County Attorney Koenlgsteln make a success in prosecuting the lawn. Taft said the Norfolk band musl was much better than lots of bane music he has listened to. Every woman in town will claim that she stood right In front of Taf when ho made those remarks abou handsome faces. Taft discovered in a very short Urn what Norfolk men have always knowi that Norfolk women are a mighty good looking lot. ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS. ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS.

WAS UNANIMOUSLY CHOSEN The Nebraska state Acrlo of Eagles Unanimously Elected P. M. Barrett to the Head of Their Order for the Coming Year. Norfolk won honor at the state aorlo of the Fraternal Order of Eagles. P. M. Barrett of this city , worthy vlco president of the state nerlo during the past year , was unanimously elected worthy president for the ensuing twelve months. Sugar City aerie No. 357 , with Norfolk city , rejoice today In the compliment paid to Mr. Barrett at Lincoln. News of the election was telegraphed to The News Immediately by C. H. Groesbeck , one of the delega tion of energetic Eagles who flow to ! Lincoln from Norfolk for the state ' J ' meeting. , J. H. Conley of Norfolk was elected' as deputy in the Third congressional ' ' district. C. H. Groesbeck of this city made a rattling good speech at a smoker. Alliance was chosen as the next place for meeting. Among the delegates at Lincoln well known in Norfolk was L. J. laeger of Chadron , past worthy president , past Worthy treasurer and candidate for the office of grand worthy secretary. He Is better known as "Billy , the Bear. " He was endorsed at Lincoln for the office which he desires and a strong delegation will be sent from Nebraska to the next national convention at Nor folk , Va. , to boost for him. Billy , the Bear. The career of "Billy the Bear" has certainly been a varied one. He was born in Philadelphia fifty-one years ago and during the half century which has elapsed since he first saw the light he has crowded more experience of a real strenuous nature than most men could encompass In hundreds of years , were they permitted to live that long. He has navigated both the Atlantic and Pacific as a master seaman ; has serv ed as proof reader In San Francisco printing offices in early days ; was an actor In Australia and later with Buf falo Bill in this country. It was in 1877 , while with Col. Cody , that he ac quired his soubriquet , "Billy the Bear , " which has ever since clung to him. The company was playing "The Red Right Hand , " and laeger appeared In the part of a bear. Later he became sec retary to Cody and came to North Platte with him. The life of a cowboy appealed strongly to him and after spending some months on the western Nebraska range , he engaged In trail ing cattle from Texas to the Nlobrara for Kountz , Yntes & Co. He next en gaged In staging to the Black Hills for a time and later went to Texas and bought a large bunch of horses to stock a ranch which he had acquired. Before reaching the ranch , however , he sold the animals and found himself with $45,000 In his pockets. He next fell a victim to the gold fever , and while delving Into the moun tains of the Wood river district In Idaho , he dropped the modest fortune he had made out of horses. Cow punching again claimed "Billy's" at tention , and within a few months he found himself Installed as manager for the Yellowstone cattle company , one of the biggest corporations of tlio kind operating in Wyoming. It was while serving in this capacity that "Billy" went through one of the worst experiences that can fall to the lot of man , and that he ever came out of It alive proves beyond doubt that laeger was n man of the most unusual nerve , perseverance and vitality. As it was , he lost both of his feet above the ankles and all but one of his fingers. On January 31 , 1883 , he left his head quarters at the Bar M ranch , thirty miles west of Rock creek , to go to the latter place to take the train for Oma ha. Ho went for some distance out of his road to catch up a horse which be longed to him and in so doing lost a day. This delay was fatal to him. While still oft the trail a blizzard came up ; in fact it had been snowing hard for many hours and was bitterly cold. Finally the storm became so bad that he was compelled to dismount and lead his horse , the snow being so blinding that he could scarcely see the animal. For four days and nights ho struggled through the awful blizzard , at times crawling Into a snow bank for a little rest and sleep. He became so discouraged that he wrote a note to friends telling them how to dispose ol his horse and what property he pos sessed , for it seemed impossible that ho could ever pull through alive. At length the blizzard ceased and , more deal than alive , he came In sight of the 49 ranch. He drew his revolver and fired It Into the air , soon bringing friends to his assistance. He wo.s tak en in and tenderly cared for , but it was soon found that ho had been so badly frozen that he would be a cripple for life. The loss of hands and feet could not discourage "Billy the Bear , " however , and over slnco the founding of Chad- ron he has been one of the most prom inent citizens of that lively little city , For four years he was police Judge and vi for eleven consecutive years he was viI I city clerk. He also hold the office of. Justice of peace for a number of terms.
