OF G. T. 8PRECHER.
COUNT BIRDS AND FLOWERS
Mr. Sprccher , Accompanied by a Num
ber of Norfolk Lads Who Enjoy tho'
Sights and Wonders of the Out of
Doors , Had Fun.
Yesterday under the leadership of
0. F. Sprccher , some half a dozen
Norfolk boys spent a day with nature ,
had u lunch In the woods and n
"tramp" up and down the Northfork. ,
Walking north on First street , then
following the river to Spring branch , '
the party had lunch at the junction of
the creek and river. A visit to the
sugar factory and a tramp back down
the west side of the river ended the
day's outing in the woods.

boys with him made note of as they

siiulrrels.
Mr. Sprecher hopes to arrange excur
sions Into the woods at least once a
month and suggests that Norfolk men
who like nature arrange similar par-
tics.
Review of Markets.
The National Live Stock Commis
sion company at South Omaha , Neb. ,
furnishes1 us with valuable Informa
tion regarding the live stock situation
at this time :
As suggested In some of our recent
letters , the advance In the cattle mar
ket has reached its limit for the pres
ent at least , and we note a reaction of
10 to 40c compared with the top prices
of the month , the greatess decline be
ing on the common to fair grades.
The newspaper and other notoriety
given to the advance In cattle and
beef , together with the "wordy" fight
regarding post-mortem inspection of
"she" stock , has curtailed the demand
for beef , and the outlook for the near
future Is not so encouraging.
The Increase In the supply of south
ern and other grass cattle , with the
more liberal movement of "she" stock
to some markets , has caused a good
decline In these grades , and every
thing competing with them has suf
fered considerably , causing a very
wide range in prices. Wo look for
more moderate receipts next week and
think the trade will rule steady or
strong for desirable grades.
No change here regarding "she"
stock. The choice , handy cows and
heifers find ready sale to outside buy >
ers , but until the matter Is settled we
continue to advise holding back othei
grades of cows. Watch the dally pa
pers and the "Investigator" for infer
inntlon on this and other subjects.
Write the "National" at South Oma
ha regarding your stock and for anj
special Information you may require
The rainy weather caused' the re
celpts of hogs to continue liberal ani
with Chicago declining to the low
point of the year , our market decllnet
again , but the sharp advance In the ,
provision market caused a reaction and
the general market averaged steady.
The South Omaha market Is now well
in line with all markets and only 10 [
to 20c under Chicago , the heavy hogs , | I
especially the old sows , selling better I i
here In proportion than any other !
grades. |
The hulk of the hogs Is selling 75.85
to $0.00 and wo consider the outlook
favorable for a steady or strong mar-
Uet for the near future.
The general sheep and lamb trade
shows a little reaction from last week's
best time , with prices poetically for
a better demand and lighter receipts
have also helped to stimulate grade.
COMMOTION AT PLAINVIEW.
Antelope County Man Walked There
From His Home.
Plalnviow , Neb. , Juno 29. Special
to The News : Andrew Gable , a
young man of Antelope county , hove
into town and presented himself In a
very strange manner , causing much
commotion on our streets by his
strange actions. Ho walked here from
Antelope county , and was overtaken
here by the sheriff. Ho was.a cigar
ette fiend and had been an excessive
smoker for many years. His condi
tion is reported sorlous.
Woman Beats Husband.
Buttp Gazette : V broom stick , in
the hands of nn Irate wlfo , played a
most conspicuous and deeply Impres
sive part In a Ilttlo scene of actual
life In Butte , ono day this week. The
husband cnino homo somewhat the
worse for the liquor habit and the
wlfo came to the conclusion that the
llck-hlm habit might provo Batlflfnc-
tory remedy , to prevent moro trouble
of n llko nature In the future. Shu
therefore ndmlnlstorod n pretty good
sized dose which , strange to say , ho
did not altogether appreciate. Ho
went to an attorney to see what could
bo done to a wife who would so far
forget her vows to her lord and master -
tor IIH to lulllct punishment upon his
person. The attorney Informed him
that there was a law to prevent a hus
band from beating his wlfo , but so far
as ho know there was nothing In the
Nebraska code to prevent a wlfo from
dealing out the corporal punishment
In a manner to suit the occasion. If
this bo true the women should all bo
advised of the fact that for once the
law gives them the advantage ever
men.
TWO NORFOLK BANKS TAKE
STAND AGAINST PACKERS.
IN THE POST-MORTEM FIGHT
Live Stockmen Standing Pat Against
Recent Rule Which Packers of the
Country Have Adopted Regarding
Pay for Diseased Cows.
At least two Norfolk banks have
joined In the protest against the ac
tion of the packers In insisting on pur
chasing cows subject to a post mortem
Inspection before a settlement Is made
with the purchaser. The stand taken
by the packers Is agitating the entire
cattle world and has produced n dead
lock between the big packing firms
and the llvo stock commission mon.
Organized protests against the stand
of the packers are pouring into the
packing centers from the entire west.
Shippers and commission men pro
test against the packers reserving pay
ment on cows until after a post-mortem
examination as an Injustice to the
shipper and as an opening wedge for
further unfavorable regulations in the
packing centers.
In connection with the wave of pro
test that Is passing over the west the
Nebraska National bank of Norfolk
wired their Chicago correspondents
asking that their Influence bo used to
assist the llvo stock exchange in the
fight with the packers.
The bank also sent the following tel
egram to Swift & Co. at Chicago :
Sentiment of this community unani
mously condemns your position rela
tive to the post-mortem inspection ,
Nebraska National bank of Norfolk. "
That the strength of western senti
ment Is appreciated is evidenced by
this telegram received by the bank In
reply : "Answering. Afraid you mis'
understand it. Please mail mo youi
understanding. " The telegram was
signed by Louis F. Swift at the Unlot ;
stock yards In Chicago. The presl
dent of the bank sends today a brlel
outline of the objectionable features
In the new order Imposed by the pack
ers as seen from the shipper's point ol
view.
In response to a telegram asking It !
position , the Norfolk National banli
has wired the South Omaha Llvo Stocl <
exchange approving the fight made foi
the stockman's rights and advising UK
commission men to keep on fighting.
Taft in South Dakota.
Bonesteel Pilot : The coming o :
Secretary Taft to Sioux Falls , this
state , has had its reward. The insnr
[ gent wing of the republican part )
. claim that their leaders were grosslj
s Insulted and snubbed because thej
were not Invited to a private break
. fast party given by Senator Kittredge
. In honor of Taft. Senator Gamble ant
I Governor Crawford were both ignorei
.and as a result the insurgents hav (
proclaimed that Crawford Is a candl
. ' date for the U. S. senate to succeec
. 'Kittredge. This announcement Is n <
I'surprise to those who have watchec
r \ the political drift In the ruptured ranki
1 of the republican party since the elec
'tlon ' last fall. The fancied Insult o
Kittredge to the Gamble faction was
a golden opportunity , so they thought
to let It be known that the light fo
supremacy Is still to be carried on and
the struggle will be watched with In
terest. Senator Kittredge Is one o
the big men of the United States , and
ho not only has a reputation for doing
things , but he has a goodly following
of staunch and influential friends in
this state , who will work zealously for
his return to the upper house. Gov.
Crawford has the backing of the at
present dominant party in this state ,
but whether that strength Is sufficient
to boost him Into the highest position
In the gift of the people , In view of
the record Kittredge has made , as
well as his recognized ability in public
matters , Is a .much disputed question.
Anyhow , on with the dance , let joy be
unconflned.

BATTLE CREEK MAN IS GROUND
TO DEATH BY TRAIN ,
TRYING TO SAVE CHILDREN
.ITTLE TOTS WERE RUNNING TO
MEET JONES PILKINS.
HE CLUTCHED AT LOCOMOTIVE
A Battle Creek Laboring Man Was Cut
to Pieces by Westbound Black Hills
Passenger Train No. 5 , While on His
Way Home at Night.
Battle Creek , Nob. , Juno 29. Spe
cial to The News : Trying to save his
wo liltlo children from death under
n train , Jones Pllklns , a laboring man
of Battle Crook , last night ran In
rent of the westbound Black Hills
mssongcr train on the Northwestern
luo hero and wns ground to death.
Us body was severed by the wheels ,
ho logs being loft on the track whllo
ho balance of the body was dragged
or some distance.
Children Coming to Meet Him.
Mr. Pllklns was walking north from
own , toward his home across the
racks. On the other side of the rail
road two Ilttlo children were running
award him , to greet their father. The
theory Is that Pllklns , seeing the Ilttlo
ots headed toward him and knowing
hat they were In danger of being
struck by the approaching train , start
ed himself to run tow'ard the track In
order to head off the children.
A Tragic Scene.
Little children of the neighborhood
saw the man ground to death. They
witnessed a tragic spectacle when Pll-
tins , running toward his own children ,
got between the rails and realized only
: oo late that the locomotive was upon
ilm. Apparently determining that ho
could not got across the track , ho
started to retrace his stops , trying to
got off on the south side of the path
of the steel monster that was driving
loward him.
Grabs at the Engine.
But the man's movement to clear
the locomotive was too late. After
seeming to start back he paused for
an Instant and then lunged toward the
oncoming Iron stallion , his outstretch
ed hands clutching at the snorting en
gine as though the man had some
liopo of swinging upon the pilot and
saving himself.
But his grasp failed to bring rescue
and Pllklns , before the gaze of his
children and the gaze of other Ilttlo
children , was cut , down and climbed
over by the train wheels.
No Inquest Held.
No inquest was held. Coroner Kin
dred of Meadow Grove arrived this
morning but decided that the death
was purely accidental and that no In
quest was necessary.
The funeral was held this afternoon
from the M. E. church , Rev. J. R. Clew
conducting the services.
Pilklns was a Virginian who came
to Battle Creek about a year ago. He
was about thirty-five years of age and
leaves a widow and four children.
Among the passengers on the train
which ran down Jones Pllklns was
Dr. P. H. Salter , the company's sur
geon , bound for Nellgh. The nature
of the accident , however , made no de
mands on a physician's services. The
passengers on the Deadwood passen
ger received their first Information of
the tragedy at Meadow Grove , where
a message giving brief details was re
ceived.
