The weather man Saturday saw IIH ! inlRlako of the morning In tlmo to rec tify It liy the alteinoon when the chilly liree/cH at the nioinlng baseball game were pushed aside for thu bright rays \i ( the arternoon'H HUH.

Superintendent Bodwoll Is naturally elated over what seems to bo pros pects for a very successful school year n spite of the dltllcullles thai con fronted Ihe school authorities at the beginning of the year. Never In the history of Ihe local high school , It Is said , has a more elllcient corps of In structors been at work than now have charge of the different classes. To the strenglli of the faculty the promis ing conditions In the high school arc largely assigned. The Jamestown exposition , accord ing to A. J. Durland who arrived homo Saturday evening from an eastern trip , has received a great deal of unjust criticism. The show at Norfolk , Va. , Mr. Durland says Is not the "James town Imposition" that has figured largely in hostile press reports. The exposition on the other hand really merlls a visit. Nowhere has Mr. Dur land seen a more magnificent water view than that afforded at Norfolk , Va. The great fault with the exposi tion , he says , has been a certain south ern lack of energy that permitted nu merous delays and brought disappoint ment to all Ihe early visilors to the exposition grounds. Mr. Durland was In New York on business. Returning homo ho was joined at Omaha by Mrs. Durland. Among the north Nebraska men who were named by Governor Sheldon last week as delegates to represent Ne braska at the farmers' national con gress to be held in Oklahoma City , Okl. , October 17 to 22 are : Harry Ful- len , Osmond ; Ed Rennlck , Wayne ; O.

"Thai exposition is the biggest fraud of the century , " said Billy on his return tc Nebraska. "I can see no possibility ol Its becoming a success. Many of the buildings arc still unfinished and nc effort Is being made to finish them , Yes , I got knocked out as national secretary - rotary of the Eagles. Some of the Nebraska - braska delegation knocked on me , claiming that I was physically unable to do Ihe work. That hurt mo more than the defeat for the office. It comes mighty hard to bar a crippled man from work that be could do and I guess almost every person In Ne braska knows that I have done pretly well with my flngcrless hands and beIng Ing shy a pair of feet toward making a pretty good living. I am going back to Chadron and get back into my old work and will try for the place again next year. It is pretty hard for n westerner to get an office in these big national conventions that are domlnat ed by llio caslern fellows. I am not sere on account of my defeat , but 1 do feel n litllo hurt that my condition should bo used against mo by men who I thought were my friends. " QUEER WORK DY NORFOLK NIGHT POLICEMAN. HIS ADVICE : "KEEP QUIET" Officer Ed Oraasch Was Summoned tea a Norfolk Home to Afford Police Protection Ho Made No Arrest. Came Dack for Money. ( Ffuin Monday's Dnllv.l Does Norfolk need a house cleaning ? Stories that merit an Investigation by the city admlnlstrallon have arisen concerning the part played by Night Olllcer Ilraasch In n Friday night epl- node when ho was called to a prlvalc rooming house by the landlady who sought police protocUon against a trnnslonl woman roomer who had retired - tired to her room with a man who had accompanied her In from the street. Olllcor Bransch obtained admission to the room where the couple wore sleeping. Then , It is charged that the night olllcer Inslead of Immediately placing the couple under arrest reap peared and suggested to the landlady that the matlcr was ono which ought to bo kept ( julct and one which she would bo paid to keep quiet. When nogotlnlloiiH in thla direction failed the ofllcer left the house with the couple - plo , repeating a warning that it was best that nothing bo said about the matter. Ofllcer Braasch released his prison ers on leaving the house and made no report on the matter to his chief. But , It Is further charged against the night officer that at 8 o'clock on the following morning ho revisited the Norfolk home whore the incident oc curred. There the officer called for a relnrn of the advance room rent that the objectionable woman bad paid , a payment which bo said would help settle matters up. Ofllcer Braasch ob- tnln il $1 which he retained during the day. Ofllcer Braasch failed lo report the evening's happening to the chief of police but Saturday afternoon Chief Flynn got wind of the affair. In a few minutes the Norfolk chief had had loth Ihe man and woman hauled Into police court where they pleaded "guil ty" to disorderly conduct. Police Judge Eiseloy took no evidence in the case but accepting the plea of guilty assessed n fine of $1 against each party. The action of the night officer was brought to the attenlion of members of the city council , most of whom looked with decided disfavor on the part played by the officer. Mayor Dur land had the matter brought to his at tention. Chief of Police Flynn stated that the $ -1 taken would be ordered refund ed to the Norfolk woman from whom the night ofllcer had obtained It. DRUMMERS' BASEBALL GAME. They Had a Good Time Saturday Morning In Play. tl''rom Saturday's Pally. ] The Saturday picnic of the Norfolk drummers , like all well regulated pic nics , opened with a baseball game. After the Norfolk travelers had de feated the Columbus nine by a score of nine to seven In five Innings , the first annual picnic day of the Norfolk council of the U. C. T. was decared to be formally "on. " It was a little chilly for the ball game antl a trifle cool for the picnic but the sun hating lo disappoint as good a bunch of fellows as the Nor folk commercial men , smiled brightly through the afternoon and helped warm things up. The ball game was a worthy feature of the picnic. There was a delightful profusion of errors , a beautiful amount of energetic base sliding and enough feature "stunts" to reward the sun for keeping a bright eye on the game. The ball game as a formal feature of the day preceded the picnic proper of the afternoon , when the field sports and U. C. T. speeches were scheduled , and the evenlr"nectlng of the Norfolk council when initiation was on. The frost bitten weather kept many north Nebraska traveling men away from the picnic and ball game. But the hotels by Friday evening were full of the men who make Sunday in Nor folk and there were other additions Saturday. Grand Councilor E. A. Bai ley of Lincoln and Grand Secretary Fred W. Hawken of Fremont were among the noon arrivals. But those who were In during the morning saw as Jolly a ball game as has been played on the driving park diamond. Dressed In clown suits of fantastic pattern the Norfolk nine pa raded the streets before the game and furnished more than a flash of color on the diamond. It was Markltan's Clowns against O'Brien's White Caps and the score was tied when Frank Beels brought In the winning score in the fifth in ning. The men lined up : Norfolk Columbus R. E. Bryant p Fred Hartlleb F. G. Gettlnger c J. Wherry DeLes Day Ib J. T. Hogan Frank Lowroy 2b II.

Charlie Chandler , who came In with the double play of the game , dooming the rising hopes of Jlmmlo T. Hogan and Fred Hartllob , IB reputed to have played three seasons with the Ocouoo nine. Chandler , who had wniidorcd In near second , made his double play unassisted. H was "Lemons" Geltlnger who ban- tiled the bat llko It was a bunch of bananas. Lowrey was good at making connec tions because ho soils electrical goods. The candy stick boys , Hogan antl Great , could play ball nolwllhsland- ini , ' . Frank Beels had his trade boosters' reputation but It took five Innings lo carry him lo llrst. Conloy's play at shortstop was said to bo botlor than , his cigars. Old Bill Vlgars , a genial ball player who was lost in right field , soils hides. And Hartlleb sells baby shoes , though a guilty conscience did not in terfere with his pitching. The packing house bunch were represented - resented Saturday by Bryant , Day and Rlcabaugh , the hardware grip men by Wherry , O'Brien and Snyder. Tovls sells bags and he gathered in n few Saturday. Pray and Engle , who have cultivat ed honest countenances in self de fense , were entrusted with the duty'of ' tabulating the score. The error col umn was dropped in tlio second In ning. Boy Shoots Foot Off. Ccam Lyons , jr. , fifteen-year-old son of Ceam Lyons of Madison , shot his foot off yesterday afternoon while hunting. The carlrldgc exploded while he was trying to insert the shell into the gun. WILL BE PUT ON NIGHTLY AT AU DITORIUM.

BUT IT WON'T FROST TONIGHT Though No Government Forecast Has Been Received , the Indications Were That a Lower Barometer Would Come and Warmer Air With it If It should frost tonight The News weather man does not believe that it will , but if it should corn In the vi cinity of Norfolk would bo benefited and not Injured. This is the declaration of a well versed citizen who has made a careful study of the corn in this region. "Ev ery particle of corn in this vicinity is safe from frost damage , " says he , "and a frost tonight would help to mature it. " As a result of the cold wave that struck the northwest during the night , quotations for December wheat and corn in Chicago shop up two cents. December wheat opened at $1.01 % and December corn at .BS1 . This will only tend to increase the prosperity of the north Nebraska and Rosebud farmer. Pierce Corn Safe. . A special to The News from Pierce says : "The News correspondent made a sixty-mile drive yesterday to ascer- alln the condition of the Plerco coun ty corn crop and found ninety percent of the corn now out of the way of kill ing frost. " No Frost Tonight. The News weather editor says there will bo no frost tonight. The high pressure which followed the storm reached Its climax In Norfolk during Iho day and Iho baromoler was duo to fall. This fact was shown when the wind slowly died down , for the wind always blows from a high to low pressure. The weather editor believed that there would be no lower temper ature tonight than last night.
