NEW SAYINGS JANK ORGANIZED
Norfolk Trust and Savings Bank Name
of New Institution.
A second savings bank has been or
ganized In Norfolk by local banking
Interests. The latest savings instltu
tion will be known as the NorfoH
Trust & Savings bank. It has the
backing of officers and stockholders ol
the Norfolk National bank.
A statement covering the organiza
tiou of the new savings instltutlor
follows :
At a meeting of the directors of UK
Norfolk National bank , held yesterdaj
afternoon and evening , a new banking
institution wits launched , to be knowr
as the Norfolk Trust & Savings bank
with an authorized capital stock 01
$50,000.00 , paid up capital $15,000.00.
For some time the Norfolk Natlona
bank officers have had in contesnpln
tion the organization of a savings In
stltutton , and an application for r
charter has been made , the action a
the meeting yesterday being the con
summation of the organization.
While this new bank Is to be sep
arate and distinct from the Norfoll
National bank , yet the stockholders o
that institution are interested in th <
saviiiKS bank. This is a guarantee
that the same conservative manage
ment that has characterized that eli :
and well established institution , will
prevail in the new. An examination
of the list of stockholders will give ev
idence of stability and solidity that is
not often accorded a new banking en
terprise , and will inspire confidence
of the general public.
An addition Is to be built onto the
present quarters of the Norfolk Na
tional to accommodate the new hank
For the time being the affairs of the
new institution will be handled at that
place , but It Is the Intent to provide a
separate abode for the savings banV
as soon as the business will warrant
it.
Every safeguard possible has been
taken to Insure absolutely safety , the
by-law , as to prohibited loans , being
particularly drawn with this idea in
mind.
This new Instltulon will be ready
for business as soon as the necessary
stationery and books can be printed
an order for which has already Been
placed.
The officers and directors will be
announced in a few days.
DOUGLAS AND JENCKS BOOSTED
Republican Judicial Nominees in Fif
teenth District Pronounced O. K.
"The people of the Fifteenth judl
clal district have two splendid mei
for whom to vote this fall and as the >
are both republicans , and as two men
must bo elected , they could do no
better than simply make their election
unanimous , " said Congressman Kin
kald of O'Neill , while In Omaha this
week.
"I wish I could Impress upon the
people of that district as solemnly as
I feel conviction myself that they
should all vote for James A. Dougla
and D. 13. Joncks for district Judges
'Vote for Douglas and Jecks , on <
Jencks and Douglas , I eay to every
man I meet ; for you can make no mis
take. They are equally worthy of you
votes. ' I have known both these men
for years and I know they are qual
fled and fit for positions they seek am
I cannot linnglnu that tlio people o
their district could possibly think otli
orwlBO. "
Frank Currle , who served In tw <
sessions of tlio legislature with Mr
) ouglaB , seconded Judge Klnkald'c
vords.
"Mr. Douglas has been In politics
sufficiently long to show tlio people
vhat they may expect of him as n
nibllc servant , " aald Mr. Currle , "and
do not know of a thing In his record
hat Is against him. Mr. Jencks , a
good lawyer , highly educated and cul-
ured man , has never before sought
uibllc office , but If elected ho will do
its duty.
TWO PHONES TO MADISON.

angementB for toll connections be-
ween Madison and Norfolk. Work on
he toll line to Madison will bo start-
d In a week. Similar lines to Hoa-

COLD , WET SPRING RESULTS IN
FEW BIRDS.
MAY HAVE TO EAT CHICKEN.
Now is Said to be the Time to Start
Out on a Still Hunt for Turkey
Birds , if You Wont Them for a
Thanksgiving Dinner.
Thanksgiving turkeys are to be
even more scarce than last year.
A cold , wet spring worked unfavor-
ibly for the hatching and maturing ol
oung turkeys. As a result they arc
mrd to find and people who want tur
key meat for Thanksgiving dinner
would do well to start right now on
a still hunt.
From the scarcity , it is apparent
already that many tables will not bo
; raced with turkey meat on the last
Pbursday of November. Spring chick-
e may have to suffice.
Last spring was unusually cold and
damp. The same effect now notice
able in turkeys is found la prairie
chickens.
It Is not improbable that the price
of turkeys will go up In proportion tc
their scarcity.
AFTER CROW RESERVATION.
Agitation Begun For Opening of An
other Tract of Land.
Yankton , S. D. , Oct. 17. It l
earned here that parties in Buffalc
county are at work to procure the
opening of a portion of the Crow Creel *
reservation to settlement. The Cron
3reek reservation Is not Indian land
It was ceded by the Yauktou Sloui
'ndlans to the government In 1859 al
the same time that nearly all of Soutl
Dakota east of the Missouri river was
ceded. When the Little Crow massacre
cro occured In Minnesota in 1862 it se
nflamed the white- people that thej
declared a war of extermination upor
the Indians whether guilty of particl
patlng in the hostilities or Innocent
and in order to protect the lives o :
the nation It was determined by the
government to remove every one o :
them , men , women , children and
halfbreeds , all beyond the boundaries
of the state , and this Crow Creek lo
cation was selected by Clark W.
Thompson , superintendent of Indian
affairs In Minnesota , to be their new
home , and the Winnebagoes and Santee -
tee Sioux were removed to that res
ervation In the summer of 18C3. The
tract embraced In the reservation cov
ers about seventeen townships and
has a thirty-mile frontage on the Mis
souri river. It is about the size and
the same general shape as the old
Yankton reservation , now opened.
The Indians have no title to the Crow
Creek reserve , as the Yanktons were
paid for it decades ago , but President
Lincoln by proclamation withdrew the
tract from the market in 18G3 , and It
has since remained in that condition
and can be restored again to home
steaders by another presidential proc
lamation. It Is a body of good land
and contained much good timber years
ago. It lies directly opposite the Low
er Brtile reservation.

H. A. PA8EWALK RAISED 7.00C
BUSHELS HERE.
ALL ON A FORTY ACRE FIELD
He Has Already Refused Sixty Centi
a Bushel , or $4iOO , For the Crop ol
Forty Acres His Advice , "Fight
Shy of Them Next Year. "
This year's potato crop In north No-
iraska has smashed tlio old axiom
hat the "part cannot bo greater than
he whole. "
The north Nebraska farmer who thin
ear pinned his faith on the homely
rlsh "spuds" can spend the winter In
Europe.
For with a good yield and top prices
mtatoos have not only made good this
all In north Nebraska hut they have
ipset the old rule of mathematics that
ho part has to bo less than the whole.
TliIB may hold In the domain of llg-
ires but It doesn't go with potato vnl-
OH this fall. For quite literally this
'all many men who have grown po-
atocs have found that the value of
ho year's yield has exceeded the value
f the very land upon which the great
rlsh crop was raised.
Herman Pasewalk 1ms gone out In
Is potato garden and pulled up his
otatoes. The potato garden yielded
p 7,000 bushels of potatoes. It took
fteen men working ten days to gnth-
r In the potato harvest.
Mr. Pasewalk raised his potatoes In
forty-acre field on South First street ,
'oo much water ruined the yield in
our acres but the rest of the field
ame forward with a good yield.
From his forty-acre garden Mr. Paso-
walk raised enough potatoes to fur-
Ish a winter's supply to every family
n Norfolk. If ho ships his crop to
n outside market and he probably
vlll It will require from twelve to flf-
eon cars to transport the crop from
ho forty-acre field.
In past years Mr. Pasewalk has
alsed beets but this year took on po-
atoes. Potatoes , according to Mr.
Pasewalk , are as easy to raise as corn ,
le planted his crop by machinery and
ultlvated it In the same way. "
But corn this year is not In it with
potatoes on the profit sheet. Mr. Pase
walk from forty acres raised 7,000
bushels of potatoes for which he has
efused sixty cents a bushel.
Will all north Nebraska raise po-
atoes next year ? Not if they're wise ,
Ur. Pasewalk says. He will cut down
ils own acreage next year.
Stay Out Next Year.
"Profit In potato raising , " Mr. Pase-
valk says , "depends on prices and you
< now how potato crops and potato
prices fluctuate. There Is an over pro
duction and everybody quits raising ,
Then comes high prices , followed by n
rush Into the potato field that swamps
he market. Last year was a better
) otato year than this but this fall pooi
yields throughout the southwest have
sent prices bouncing for north Neb
raska. For the very reason that there
ms been money in potaoes this yeai
my advice for next season would be
to stay out. Out north Nebraskn
'armors make a mistake In not raising
it least two acres of potaoes on tlu
side each year. If prices go agalnsl
, hem potaoes make good feeding. Bui
lotato prices are uncertain. You can'l
nit your faith in them. "
Potato is king in many parts ol
north Nebraska. At Gordon , the con
er of a big potato country , between
six and seven cars are being shipped
out dally. Potatoes at Gordon arc
irlnglng fifty cents.
Men who raise potatoes don't hole'
them for the higher prices that come
n the spring. For a shrinkage ol
ibout a third is said to result during
the winter. This counterbalances the
raise in price.
TORN FROM BRIDE.
Beemer Bank Cashier Gets Left on Sta
tion Platform at Fremont.
Unwittingly deserting his bride of
a day , Robert O. Brandt , cashier of
the First National bank of Beemer ,
STeb. , Thursday caused more grief
than he dreamed of , says the Omaha
World-Herald.
Brandt Wednesday went to Bancroft
and was married to a Miss Mollor.
They started for Omaha Thursday to
Lake in the horse show , visit relatives
and enjoy their honeymoon. But , alas ,
the fates willed otherwise and the second
end day of their married life was one
long trial and tribulation.
At Fremont Brandt got off the train
to stretch his legs , and when the train
left Fremont he was missing. Mrs.
Brandt got worried. It was only na
tural that she should , but think of the
plight of Mr. Brandt when ho discov
ered that the train had fled to Omaha ,
bearing his newly acquired wife , while
ho stood on the depot platform at Fre
mont.
Mrs. Brandt took her "desertion"
philosophically , however , and when
she reached Omaha a brakeman on the
Northwestern train contributed roy
ally to her relief so that she might
have money with which to purchase
the necessaries and also to take her
to her husband's relatives on South
Tenth street. When Brandt got off at
Fremont he took the family exchequer
with him and Mrs. Brandt was penni
less. The kind-hearted trainmen gave
her directions for reaching the homo
of her husband's relatives , the oxclted
Mr. Brandt reaching Omaha on a later
train.

C. D. SIMMS WANTS TO COME INTO
NORFOLK PROPER.
HE SEES ADVANTAGE IN IT
At First Mr. Slmms Thought He Didn't
Want to be Brought Into Town , But
Now That He Has Thought It Over ,
He Sees Benefit.
C. D. Slmms is one man In the outly-
ng districts who sees Justice In the
annexation movement that has been
started to extend the city limits of
Norfolk. "I must confess , " said Mr.
SlmniB yesterday , "that when I first
icard of the proposed annexation I
thought that 1 would rather not he In
cluded In the annexation deal. This
was only my first thought , though. A
Ittlc reflection shows one that the
torn of additional taxes will bo alight
one. In fact It is an expense that
would bo more than offset in a short
time by direct benefits. I am sure that
wo would receive our proportionate
share of lights , flro protection and
: rossings. City water mains arc bo
ng constantly extended and they
ought to bo even more so after exten
sion IB made for Norfolk has grown
out beyond the flro limits ns a num-
; ) cr of recent flres has shown. But
[ > eyond the benefits received , and I
can now see where they would coun
terbalance whatever Increase there
might be In taxes , I can BOO the Justice
n arguing why these of us who arc
benefited by being residents of Nor
folk , not legal but actual Norfolk ,
ought to contribute our share towards
city expenses. Besides touching local
affairs I would like to bo an nctual
resident of the city with a vote In city
elections. " Mr. Simms Is not alone
in his attitude. In fact some of the
Thursday evening rcmonstrators have
told members of the city council that
as they consider the proposition moro
they think better of the annexation
side. One man said that what ho
wanted was the guarantee of a "square
deal" in the promise that the now ter
ritory would receive city benefits as
fast as would be practical.
PIERCE HORSES WON.
Captain Mack , King Woodford and
Elkhorn Boy All Victors.
Pierce Leader : Win. Zulauf arrived
home Monday forenoon after closing
the seasons' racing at Stanton Satur
day afternoon.
This has been a most successful sea
son for Pierce horses. It was only
necessary for Mr. Zulauf to enter his
horses in the races of their class to bo
assured of first money , while Elkhorn
Boy , belonging to Woods Cones , who
was with the string , took second until
King was forced into a faster class.
After that he was the lead horse In
his races.
Capt. Mack , record 2:15'/I : , won first
place in nine races and was second In
one , being beaten at Norfolk by For.
dyce , owned by Dan Freenan of Quln-
cy , Illinois , and whose record Is also
2:1514. : It Is peculiar to note that
Capt. Mack was sick at Norfolk last
year and also this year. At every race
that the two horses raced together
after this Capt. Mack won with com
parative ease.
King Woodford , record 2:29'/Si : also
was first In all of his races except one ,
having 11 first monies to his credit out
of a possible twelve. He was forced
out of the 2:35 : class in the middle of
the season but was just as successful
n the 2:20 : and 2:27 : classes.
Elkhorn Boy , record 2:34'4 : , won 5
firsts and 8 seconds , playing second
only for King Woodford on the circuit.
