COMPANY SAVES MUCH.
THE DROP MEANT $3,500 HERE
W. J. Stadelman , Mnnnger of the Nor
folk Independent Telephone Com *
pany , HOB Deen Able to Shed No
Tears Over Copper Collnpse.
The collapse of the copper market ,
which shook Wnll street when copper
stock tumbled , brought hundreds of
dollars lo ono Norfolk concern , the
Norfolk Ixmg Distance Telephone
company.
Ily holding up their order of telephone -
phone cuhlo from August 5 to October
24 the Norfolk Independent company
saved $3,500 as n result of the drop
In the price of copper wires that fill
the big telephone cables.
For three years the price of copper
haw been In the upward swing. Ily
last .July bar copper at the smelter
had soared to twenty-six cents n.
pmind. On July 7 , by u coincidence
the day when the Independent com
pany gained Its Norfolk franchise , cop
per had reached Its high point and
started down hill. From twenty-six
It has dropped to twelve and n half ,
two and a half cents being lopped off
lsnt Friday.
It was the course of copper stock
lant week that Introduced the Wall
street Hurry that has held the atten
tion of the whole world. Hut the cop
per wind that blew disaster to Wall
street blow a saving of several him-
: died dollars In Norfolk's direction.
In Hits general desert of rising prlc-
os copper Just now Is the telephone
ntan'fl particular bright onslH.
Friday the Norfolk Independents
placed tliolr order for telephone cable.
It was a big order , said to approach
$16,000 , and before Manager Stndel-
Minn let It he was satisfied thnt copper -
per was "down. " In Chicago on Aug
ust 5 purchasing telephone supplies ,
Mr. Stadolmnn had a tip to suspend
his cable purchases. After that each
drop In copper rolled out several him-
drod dollars for Norfolk telephone
men.
men.Oeorge W. Conovcr of Chicago , who
wns In Norfolk Thursday , was the sue
cessful competitor for the Norfolk order
dor for cable.
The Norfolk company Thursday or
dered 110,000 feet of cable. This en
bio contains 2,387,725 running feet ol
wire. Put together the wire would
stretch -453 miles.
This Is the story of why one Norfolk
Minn hasn't been able to work up an >
particular concern over the disastrous
course of copper stock.
TEMPORARY DEPOT IMPROVEMENT
Union Pacific Will Not Remodel Sta-
tlon This Season.
The order calling for the remodel
ing and the renovation of the local
Union Pacific depot from present Indi
cation : * is not to be Issued until at
least another building season arrives.
The suggested plans for remodeling
the Union Pacific depot are understood
to be in the engineering ofllco of the
road. The announcement that the
Union Pacific at present is to only
make temporary repairs about the lo-
eal passenger depot indicates that im
mediate action will not be taken in
regard to remodeling the depot.
The Norfolk depot , however , Is to
be wired for electric lights. Material
for the new lights Is being received
and the lights will be placed in a short
time. At the same time that the com
pany deserts oil lamps for electric
lights In Its passenger station it will
place an arc light over the depot ap
proach.
It has been suggested at different
times that the most approved course
for the Union Pacific to take would bo
the erection of a new passenger depot
on the company's Norfolk avenue lots.
The present plans of the railroad ,
however , seem to contemplate remod
eling the present frame structure. To
this end ull repairs made at the depot
this winter will be of a temporary na
ture.
It has been said that pending the ex
piration of the present local depot
agreement with the M. & O. road the
Union Pacific was hardly likely to set
out on nu extensive depot building
program In Norfolk.

improved the lights which throw pic

REWARD FOR ACT OF KINDNESS
YEARS AGO.
NURSED SICK MAN IN HOTEL
Miss Anna Olson , an Employe at the
Oxnard Hotel Here , Has Received
Word That Stranger In the East
Willed Her Large Sum.
In the story of the man who did not
forget lies the good fortune of Miss
Anna Olson , a chambermaid nt the
Oxnnrd hotel of this city.
Miss Olson knows what It Is to cast
bread upon the water. For acts of
kindness rendered n hotel guest when
he lay 111 In Sioux City seven years
ngo Miss Olson stands to receive ft
rich reward. This man did not for
get for on his death It transpires that
the hotel girl Is listed among his heirs.
The tale of the Inheritance Is a
story of seven years ago. For flvo
years past Miss Olson has been cm-
ployed ns chambermaid at the Oxnnrd
hotel In Norfolk. She Is a comely
girl of Norwegian pnrcntngo.
And this hotel girl is to bo among
the heirs of nn eastern estate , the
probable recipient of $5,000 from the
man who didn't forget.
Seven years ngo n bncholor from
"back east" spent four weeks in sick
ness In the Hotel Oxford of Sioux
City. But those four weeks wore
brightened by the attentions nnd
thoughtfulness of the comely Norwe
gian chambermaid. In n sick bed
men's thoughts go cnstlo building.
Whatever there may have been of ro
mance In the sick man's mind and
whatever there may have been of
thanks on his lips this man wrote his
thanks plainly enough when he cnmo
to die.
The sick mnn , restored to henlth ,
returned to enBtern ties. Miss Olson
after a year or so left Sioux City for
Norfolk , Miss Olson may have forgot
ten but the mnn back east didn't.
And when he thought of the services
at the sick bed and spelled out com
pound Interest It measured up lo $5-
000 in his eyes.
Miss Olson was apprised of her in
heritance on the arrival in Norfolk
of a member of a Cincinnati law firm
having the matter In hand. He traced
Miss Olson from Sioux City to Nor-
oik.
Silent About Her Fortune.
But this fortunate hotel girl Is not
pen for congratulations for she
on't receive them. Among her ac-
ualntances at the hotel she docs not
Iscuss the matter. A girl more than
sually reticent she has left the cu-
ious minded to guess.
"Why should I discuss the money
vhen I haven't It yet ? " asks Miss
Olson. "And whose business Is It but
my own ? I am sure to be bothered
nd am not sure of the money for I
ave only the news of the Inherit-
nee. "
A curious coincident , which Miss Ol-
on discloses , may interpose temporary
ary obstacles between the Norfolk
chambermaid and her Inheritance.
There was another Anna Olson In the
Oxford hotel In Sioux City and law
yers may puzzle as to whether It was
) rown or black-haired Anna Olson
amed as heiress to the $5,000. And
he facts which favor Miss Olson of
Norfolk may have to be proven.
Meanwhile the other girl has drop
ped out of sight. And an Anna Olson
est in the world is a missing needle
n a hay stack. It Is a common name ;
n fact even since Miss Olson has
vorked in Norfolk a third Anna Ol-
on has been employed at the same
lotel. And the fact that the testator
neglected to Indicate the color of Miss
Olson's hair or his preference for
> londes or brunettes may prove an
annoying Incident.
Thib Miss Olson Isn't a hotel girl of
gay colors and she isn't spending her
unv fortune In advance. An Indus-
rious girl she has already saved up
i fair bum from her earnings. And
he new inheritance will be as care
fully guarded as the $2,000 or so that
lave already been assigned to safe
( eeplng.
The romance In Anna Olson's life
began rather than ended with her
coming to Norfolk. It's no secret thai
he girl , who was this fall remembered
'or $5,000 by the eastern bachelor ,
ias been engaged for a long time past
to a Norfolk brakernan.
Mis& Olson's father and mother live
n South Dakota not far from Yank-
ton.

thnt ono of them was Police Judge

NEW FOOTBALL RULES HAVE IM
PROVED THINGS.
FORWARD PASS , FIELD KICK
Nebraska Defeated Colorado 22 to 8 In
Saturday's Game at Lincoln The
New Rules Result in Fewer Injuries
Ames Next.
Lincoln , Neb. , Oct. 28. From a
staff correspondent : The football
game here Saturday , In which Nebras
ka university defeated Colorado 22 to
8 , was the prettiest exhibition of foot
ball , from the spectators' viewpoint ,
that has been seen on Nebraska field
for many a year. The new rules make
a better game to watch.
It Is necessary now to make ton
yards In three downs. This forces the
teams to kick and make forward pass
es. These are spectacular. Nebraska
was unable to batter through Cole
rado's line , except at one time , and
Colorado was likewise unable to make
gains through the line. As a result
there were many exchanges of punts
and long runs. Colorado threw the
ball on forward passes many times
and made good gains. The open play
was both good to look at and It netted
much less In the way of Injuries to
players.
The place kick has come to be a
strong feature of the game.
King Cole Sends Message In.
While It was denied last week that
King Cole had coached at Minnesota
from the sidelines , he sent a message

FORMER NORFOLK LAWYER WIN9
SUCCESS IN LONDON.
ONCE PRACTICED IN NORFOLK
D. A , Holmes , Who Has Deen Success ,
fill Every Time He Has Moved ,
Takes n Hand In London Affairs anci
Wins His Point.
A dispatch from London Is of unusual -
usual Interest to people of this local
ity , where D. A. Holmes was widely
known when he was engaged In the
practice of law In Norfolk In partner
ship with present Postmaster John U.
Hnys. under the firm nniuo of Holme-i
& llnys. From Norfolk ho moved to
Sioux City , then to Chicago nnd from
there to New York , and ho linn been
growing In success from the time ho
entered the prnctlce of law n quarter
of n century ngo. Now ho hns tnkon
n hand In Ixindon affairs and scorns to
bo attended with his usual achieve
ment , ns ho won his point nnd secured
the title of "A Clover Ynnkoe" from
the Ixmdonors. Following Is the ills-
pntch :
London , Oct. 23. Dolnvnn A.
Holmes nnd Joseph T. McCnddon to-
dny faced n stormy meeting of angry
shareholders of Barnuni & Ballcy'H
"greatest show on earth , " which con
vened for the purpose of voting np-
provnl of the contract made by the
directors to sell the circus to A A.
Stewart , ngont for Rlngllng Bros. , for
$ 100,000. A motion to sell flnnlly car
ried nmld cheers for Holmes , whonct-
od as chairman , but not before he and
McCaddon , the real chalriunn of the
company , were subjected to many In
sulting remarks.
McCnddon opened the meeting by
stating that Holmes , as deputy chair
man of the company , would preside.
When the latter , wearing the usunl
American clothes nnd his hair n lilllo
longer than usual , rose to spenk ho
wns greeted with mnny signs of hos
tility nnd several disgraceful Interrup
tions , ono mnn shouting In n loud
voice : "Arc you the freak ? "
"I nm the freak , " said Holme1 ? ,
speaking firmly and deliberately , "but
I nm not hero to be told so. I am
hero to nnswor every logltlmnte ques
tion , but will tolerate nbsolutely no Im
pudence or Impertinence. I will quick
ly disabuse the mind of any man who
thinks so. "
The meeting seemed unprepared for
sueh display of firmness , which effec
tually silenced nil Interruptions and
settled down to n clenr nnd disap
pointing story of the company's losses.
After Holmes had explained how the
circus had been steadily losing money
since the death of the genius who
made It a success and how the dlvl-
lends of the last few years had not
icon paid out of the earnings of these
enrs , but distributed by the late J A.
lalloy out of a surplus of $000,000 ,
10 began to get the meeting with him.
Us further statement that this sur-
ilus was now cut down to less thnu
mlf nnd thnt this year's loss up to
Sept 1J was $22,000 , seemed to allay
most of the objection , but later both
lolmes nnd McCnddon were subjected
o many unpleasant questions.
All thefio wore so satisfactorily an
swered by Holmes , who incidentally
cracked real American jokes at the
) sychologlcal moment , that the meet-
ng passed the resolution to sell amid
roat laughter. Afterward the stock-
lolders were told they would get $2 rr
$2.50 on a share , the first Installment
of 50 per cent being payable probably
lext January. Then they didn't smile ,
jut cheered Holmes and voted him a
clever Yankee.
