GAME WILL NOT DE PLAYED IN
NORFOLK THIS YEAR.
ONLY TEN IN SENIOR CLASS
The Present Year's Graduating Class
of the Norfolk High School Entered
High School With Sixty-seven , Now
Reduced to Ten ,
There IH little or no prospect that
the Norfolk high Hchool will bo repre
sented on the fooUmll gridiron thlH
fall. Last full local fooUmll cnthusl-
asm lost much of HH force after the
accident to Carl Austin In Sioux City.
Another obstacle In the way of the
organization of nn cloven lies In the
fact that much of the available foot
ball material was * represented In the
class of 1907 which left the high school
last May.

The Two Judges.
Alnsworth Star-Journal : James A.
Douglas of Bassett and Daniel B.
.TencUes of Chadron were In town last
Friday. They are the republican nom
inees for judges of this district nom
inated by the people the first In
stance of the kind In the history of
the state. No clique In the back room
of a down town olllcc or place of busi
ness forced them upon the people
they were named by the people In
their primary capacity.
Of these candidates , Indlvually It Is
well , perhaps , to say a word.
James A. Douglas Is a neighbor ,
lie Is well known In Alnsworth nnd In
Urown county , lie Is known both for
his ability and his aggressiveness.
He Is known for the fact that what
ever ho undertakes to do , ho does with
all his might and main , and does It
well.
In being a candidate for this Judgeship -
ship and In accepting the nomination
at the hands of the people , ho has
undertaken to servo the people and
no one else. If the history of Mr.
Douglas is to he taken as any guide ,
he will serve the people well. The
Star-Journal believes that ho will or
It would not glvo him support In this
campaign. But It believes that he
will put the same energy , ability and
fidelity Into the work that will bo his
to do that he has given to his clients
In the past.
Daniel B. Jcnckes is not so well
known here. He lives at Chadron ,
which Is quite a distance away , nnd
has not visited Alnsworth very often.
But In the times that he has been hero
he has made many friends. Our people
ple were pleased with his appearance
both times and they will glvo him loy
al support. Ho Is a man of ability ,
and Is ranged among the leading mem
bers of the Nebraska bar.
There Is no reason why the people
should not elect both of these men.
The party has a largo majority , and
the people of the party made the nom
Inatlons , so there Is no occasion for
any one to be sore. In point of ability
these gentlemen arc much the superior
of the other two , and otherwise there
Is no reason to shun a comparison.
The Lincoln Legal News Insinuates
that there Is a move on foot to elect
one republican judge In this district
nnd picks the winning candidates to
bo Douglas ( rep. ) and Westover
( dem. ) The Star > Journal Is sure there
Is nothing of the kind. The repub
licans have the votes in this district
and can easily elect Douglas and
Jenckes , and they will do It.
WRESTLER TAKES A DRIVE
Misses Train in Norfolk , Had to Drive
to V/ayne Saturday.
A thirty-five mile drive from Norfolk
to Wayne formed a prelude to the
Wasem-Danlclson wrestling match at
Wayne for Oscar Wasem , the Lincoln
wrestler.
The train which brought Wasom to
Norfolk Saturday was several hours
late nnd the sturdy Lincoln athlete

Ho was a baker by trade and has had
his headquarters In Lincoln for sever
al months. Wasem meets them all

M V
worldwide champion. Gotch , It will

NORTH NEBRASKA HAS BIGGEST
CROP EVER.
NATIONAL OUTPUT IS LIGHT
While the Total Crop of Apples In the
United States Is About Forty Percent
Lighter Than In Ordinary Years ,
There Are Plenty Here.
Whllo the npplo crop of the United
States Is about forty per cent lighter
this year than In ordinary years nnd
the usually reliable Missouri crop is
almost a total failure , the territory
around Norfolk has como forward with
ono of the largest crops In Its history.
A Madison county farmer who has
a big orchard says that more apples
have been raised around Norfolk this
year than ever before. The largo crop
of npples this year Is said to bo duo
not so much to a heavy yield as to
Increased acreage. Scores of orch
ards which were planted a few years
ago have begun to bear. In fact as
young orchards begin to bear during
the next few years the country around
Norfolk Is slated to grow In Importance
anco as an npplo raising country.
It Is the northeast Nebraska coun
try this year that has passed ahead of
the big apple raising sections in the
southeastern part of the state. When
the late cold snap last spring swept
over the west It found fruit In the
southern part of Nebraska more ad
vanced and more exposed to damage
than the orchards around Norfolk and
In north Nebraska.
When a vinegar plant Is added to
the local pickle factory next year anew
now source of profit will be added to
apple raising In the territory around
Norfolk. The vinegar factory opens
n demand for culls and the poorer
grades of apples. All apples are alike
In vinegar making and a market for
culls means added profit to apple
raisers.
THIS WOMAN WILL BE LIFE CRIP
PLE AS A RESULT.
FORCED TO WORK IN FIELD
Mrs. Victor Carlson , Living Near Clearwater -
water , Was So Badly Cut by a MowIng -
Ing Machine That She Will be a
Cripple for Life.
Nellgh , Neb. , Sept , 28. Special to
The News : Owing to the scarcity of
help , Mrs. Victor Carlson , living south
Of Clearwater , was so seriously Injured
n few days ago that It Is feared she
will be a cripple the rest of her life.
After finishing the day's work In
mowing grass she returned to the
house , and was unharnessing the team ,
but neglected to throw the mower out
of gear when the horses started up ,
causing the sickle to cut through the
ligaments above the heel of her right
limb , and quite badly cutting the other
lim balso. It was necessary to make
an Incision of three or four Inches to
bring the ligaments down so they
could be sewed together In the most
severe wound.
GOVERNMENT WANTS GEMS.
Three Packages of Pearls Said to Have
Been Imported.
New York , Sept. 28. The Importa
tion of three packages of pearls val
ued at $10,000 wholesale and alleged
by the government to have been smug
gled Into this country several weeks
ago , Is being Investigated by the cus
toms authorities. Manuel Cornojo , a
California dealer In pearls , owns the
germs , which were shipped to Paris
by way of Now York and subsequently
brought back again through this city ,
The customs officials at San Fran
cisco besides making a charge ol
smuggling against Cornejo have begun
a civil suit for the forfeiture of the
pearls on the ground that the ten per
cent duty to which they are subject
on Importation was not paid. Receipts
of the Now York custom house show
that Cornejo shipped some pearls to
Paris and reshlpped them back here
nnd he contends that these are the
pearls found in his possession.
The customs officials say that , oven
if there was a reshlpment , the pearls
are of Oriental origin , and the defen
dant must show that duty was paid on
their first entry into this country. The
owner declares that while the pearls
pass In trade for Oriental gems , they
are really of American origin.

There was some local color for Nor
folk In the arrest of officials of the
Western Pump and Manufacturing
company at Kansas City for using the
malls to defraud. This company some
time ago sent literature to newspapers
In Norfolk as well as other towns of
the state with the hope that as free
advertising the stuff might bo printed.
Some newspapers did bite on the mat
ter. The story contained In the litera
ture told how Norfolk could get n big
pump device manufacturing establish
ment , nnd then went on to give the
advantages offered by the device Itself.
As a result of the free advertising that
was thus grafted , the company Is said
to have done ? GO,000 worth of business
In the last few months.
A prairie fire swept over 3,000 acres
of land Tuesday afternoon , starting
nbont two miles west of Vnlley Junc
tion , snys n report from Huron , S. D.
The fire originated from a spark from
a passing locomotive on the North
western line , and the company , realiz
ing the situation , Immediately sent a
special engine carrying fire fighters
to the scene. The first crew being
unable to check the ( lames , a second
was sent out , but the fire was not ex
tinguished until it had covered nt
least 3,000 acres of land. Thousands
of tons of hay In stacks were destroyed
nnd the prairie entirely devastated of
feed. The losses are very heavy to
farmers , as many of them had their
winter supply of hay In stack and
must now take their herds to other
localities or buy feed from neighbors.
Three days without food , lost In a
fog on the South Dakota pralrio , clad
only In a thin dress and exposed for
three days to the heat of the sun , for
two nights to the cold pralrio air and
passing through two rains and a hall
storm , was the portion of Maymo
Rezek , a deaf mute , whose privations
are related by the Dallas News. The
girl Is the daughter of Frank Rezek ,
who lives about four miles northeast
of Dallas. Although weighing more
than 200 pounds and twenty-one years
of age , the girl Is still a child mentally.
Driving the cows to pasture In the
early morning she became lost In a
fog. For three days the prairies were
searched before the girl was found
lying In the prairie grass about six
miles west of the Trlpp county line.
She seemed In good health and spirits
when found.
Valentino Republican : The hunting
season opened Sunday and every rig
that would haul a man and Jug of
water was pressed Into service by
those eager to have a taste of pralrlo
chicken. The territory for miles
arounu this city was covered by groups
of hunters , some of whom met with
very good success whllo many of them
had to hustle to get a mess. Birds
are not so plentiful this year ns they
wore last and the fellows making the
big shoots are men of pretty largo
mouths which must be taken Into con
sideration If you are really eager to
get a feast of chicken. The parties
who went the Swan lake route arc not
of the opinion that the hills are so full
of chickens that ono was liable to go
over the limit from excitement of rapId -
Id shooting. About ono In the bill Is
the yield out that way.
