ONE OF THE HALLOWE'EN ' PRANKS IN NORFOLK , NOTHING BAD WAS DONE HERE Hallowe'en IB Still on the Calendar But It Isn't Nearly So Bad as Once It Was Progress Has Interfered With Old Pranks.

Ilallowo'en Is utlll on the calendar but It Isn't nearly as bad an It used to bo when Norfolk business men were young. The episodes that Norfolk avenue - enuo business men shamelessly culled out of the memories of their youth 1'Ylday ' morning would have brought down the undying wrath of Chief Flynn In l'J07. ' Hut It Isn't ' the small boy who Is getting bettor. Its progress and noth ing else that Is pushing the old time Hallowe'en spirit aside In Norfolk. What would the old Hallowe'en have boon without board sidewalks to tip over , wooden crossings to demolish , gateu to steal , fences to upheave and loose wagons to make away with ? But the co in out sidewalk and crossing Is making the day of boards llttlo more than memory. Property owners thorn- selves have taken down the fences. Uuggles are locked In substantial barns. There was no serious volume of complaint registered against Hallow- $ o'on Uio morning after. There was something less than usual of harmless Hallowe'en frolic on account of the Ht weather. In some instances tbo line of "harmless" amusement was passed nud. private property rights abused. The complaints , however , were not general. In ono or two cases damage was re- jwrted to cement walks and these In stances may bo followed up by the police. News that n few board walks had been tossed over was rocloved without noticeable agitation on the part of the street department , which has been on a cement walk campaign for some time. There was a "scrubbing bee" along Norfolk avenue when daylight dis closed a general array of soaped win dows. Special police service was main tained Thursday evening but no ar rests of a Hallowe'en nature wore re corded. In a social way Hallowe'en parties were largely Informal gatherings. Ilal lowo'en and the special opportunities that Hallowe'en decorations and party idoaa afford were not neglected for there were many Informal parties about the city. FRIDAY FACTS. O. A.

Jones Placed More Than Two Thousand Dollars In First National Bank of Lincoln and Signed Over Money Without Knowing It Lincoln , Neb. , Nov. 1. Can a man completely forget having deposited more than $2.GOO In n bank In his own home town ? It seems hardly possible , but that a Nebraska man did so more than n dozen years ago Is a matter of court record. Interest In the case has boon revived recently owing to the candidacy of Wlllard N. Stewart for the post of district Judge. Mr. Stewart In 1894 became the defendant In a suit brought against him by John T. Jones for the recovery of $2,009.35 and Interest. Mr. Jones several years before had deposited the above sum In the First National bank of Lincoln and , strange ly enough , had forgotten all about the transaction. Mr. Stewart , learning of this fact , made a proposition to Jones to deed him certain property , two lots and a house In College 11111 , a suburb of Lincoln , for an assignment of Jones' Interest In certain property the nature and location of which Stewart refused to disclose. The College Hill house and lots were incumbered by a mort gage of 2,000 and a small accumulation of Interest and taxes. One of the con dltlons of the proposed trade was that Jones should sign his name to the pa pers without reading them or seeing what they contained. Jones finally consented to this after securing from Stewart a written affidavit to the ef fect that nothing was contained In the papers which would subject him to criminal liability or bring upon him public Ignominy or disgrace. Ono of the papers Jones so blindly signed was a check on the First Na tional bank In favor of Stewart for $2,009.35. It was In 1894 that ho dis covered what he had done. In the meantime he had sold the real estate for barely enough to pay the mortgage lieu upon It. Jones , when his eyes were opened promptly brought suit In the , district court to recover the inon I ey and Interest , alleging that ho had been Induced to sign the check with out reading It by the untruthful and fraudulent representations made to him by Stewart , who had told him that he wished to procure from him a power of attorney and an assignment ; that It would not put him in a worse condition or position , lose him any money or deprive him of any interest but would be of great value to Stew art. The plaintiff declared that ho by oversight and error had forgotten his deposit in the bank and relying on the representations made by the defendanl and believing them to be true , signet his name twice , but that In so doing ho unknowingly signed the check on which the defendant drew the money from the bank. The case was decided in Mr. Stewart's favor , but In review ing the case the supreme court said : "Tho facts in this case present a very singular transaction. Much as the court may feel disposed to con' demn the selfish cunning manifested by the defendant and to lament the artless confidence of the plaintiff , yel the legal rights Involved are governed by well established principles of the law and by the law only must they be settled. The rule is well established that where persons are dealing with each other upon equal terms , and no confidential relation exists between them , neither is bound to disclose su perlor information ho may have BUS pecting the transaction and , in the ab sence of fraud or deception , to Induce the contract , the court can afford no relief. The law presumes every man capable of taking care of his own In terests , and his poor Judgment or un fortunate trades cannot form a basis of Interference by the court. " FINISHING UP CAMPAIGN.

AFFECTS NORTHERN NEBRASKA t Is Said That Ministerial Salaries Have Not Kept Pace With the Uplift In Prices Settlement Work Calls Many Young Men Now. There Is a shortage of ministers In lorth Nebraska. The same conditions seem to be general over the west , It Is not surprising that the general scarcity of all kinds of labor , skilled and unskilled , has proved to be the csult of conditions that also affect nlnlstcrlal circles. The Methodist church Is among the uost prosperous of the church denom- nations in north Nebraska and yet even its elders have to exerclso their wits at times to keep all the pulpits supplied. In the Nellgh district of which Rev. Thomas Blthell of Norfolk 8 presiding elder there have been two ; > astorless charges , churches furnish- ng parsonages and paying salaries of $ -100 and $500. In other protostnnt churches than the Methodist there has been even nero dlfllculty in securing pastors. Two Norfolk churches have been with out pastors for several months and lave either taken or are Just taking steps to remedy their condition. Why the shortage ? Norfolk churchmen don't put any stock In the opinion that there is a modern tendency away from things spiritual or that the ministry no long er attracts. In explaining the shortage two co dltlons are pointed out : first , that the ministerial salary hasn't kept pace with recent tendencies and second that settlement , Y. M. C. A. and other forms of work closely allied with the ministry Is drawing the services of men who would otherwise be preach ers. ers.North North Nebraska Is paying her minis ters nioro than she did In the lean years of the nineties , but It Is said that the increase In salaries hasn't been uniform and hasn't kept pace with the upward swing of prices. Churches In the northwest are pros perous. The Methodist church over north Nebraska was , according to the recent word of ono of Its officials , as sound as the banks of the section. The proverbial church debt "Isn't. " Churches have freed themselves of the debts left over from the hard years and they haven't Incurred now ones when building. The lesson of the eighties Is said to have been learned and even In these times of plenty and bright prospects the financ es of the churches are cash finances. The churches of north Nebraska have ceased to build on the future. But they still build. Over at Albion the Methodists expect to have a $20- 000 churcn completed by Christmas. But no debts. John Hermann of Nor folk Is building it. The attitude of the churches Is said to bo typical of the different attitude that the west has taken in the recent years of plenty compared with its course during the prosperity and booms of the later eighties.

S SEEN BY DAILY NEWS MAN Vebrnskn Field at Lincoln Never Yet Has Witnessed so Thrilling or so Dramatic a Football Game as That Saturday With Ames. Lincoln , Neb. , Nov. 4. From a staff I'lrospondent ' : Never In the history f Nebraska football has the Lincoln old been the scone of a more thrill- : ig or dramatic contest than on Satur- ay when Nebraska won from Ames on to nine. Never on Nebraska Held as a game been so marked by shift- ig fortunes or won by so narrow a largln. It was Nebraska's game by a single IK olnt. And In the nerve straining sec- nd half certain victory was not reg- stored until the final whistle. The best toiun won but it did not vln because It was the best team. , uck was after all the ruling keynote f the gamo. The llrst half was a tory of fumbles and Inopportune mis- aps that denied to Nebraska winning cores. The first twenty minutes of ho second half was a story of blocked r poorly directed goal tries that urncd attempt after attempt at field oals to naught for Ames. Two points in a safety by an Ames man , needless- y and carelessly made , was a simple 1ft to Nebraska. Ames' single touch- own was a fluke. It was a dramatic battle between ho old football and the now. No- raska , schooled In old 1'no ' football , iad n line that could not bo penotrat- d by Ames and an offensn that gained 27 yards on straight football totwen- y-oight yards negotiated by Amos hrough Nebraska. On punts and In he Held of the boot Woller was head ind shoulders above Ames. But In the iso of the forward pass and In run ning back punts Amos was as far ihead of Nebraska ns the state unl 'orslty was ahead of the Iowa Aggies n straight football. Nebraska has neither mastered nor olvert the forward pass , the great fea ure of the new game of football , NeN : iraska ) essayed the pass but on three nstances. It was Amos' single winf nlng card. Without It the Aggies vould have been swamped. With two ncn perfect In the use of the pass Ames fought Nebraska to a standstill and lost the game only for want of a lependable goal kicker. Saturday's game was played wholly n the second half. In the first Ne braska scored a Held goal early and so clearly outclassed in the old line scrimmage that the contest promised .o be one sided and wholly unevont- 'ul. ' In the second half Ames drew ho ball early and unwound the for ward pass , swept all before them for wonty minutes hut was akle to real ze a single goal from a place kick only after six successive tries , some blocked and others misdirected. Then a touchdown , a fluke scored ao the re sult of an Ames fumble on a place kick giving the Aggies a chance for an unopposed dash to the goal line , sent the score high In Awes' favor. Never has there been a spell more onso or nerve racking In the fifteen minutes that Nebraska battled out a Ictory. Fortune favored Nebraska when Wlllette of Amea blindly turned ho Initial klckoff into a safety. Then ifter straight football had twice all > ut made the coveted touchdown Wei- ers' boot sent the ball squarely be tween the posts. In the last stirring moments of play Amos' use of the orward pass kept the game In doubt. Not since the Nebraska victory over Minnesota In 1902 were the Nebraska itudents so jubilant. The Ames game out of the balance Nebraska looks to Kansas and St. , ouls , the remaining games that af- ord . Nebraska the chance of regaining he lost championship of the Missouri valley. Next Saturday at Lawrence , Nebraska will probabiy beat Kansas much as she beat Ames but a different cam will have to go to St. Louis on Thanksgiving. The Nebraska team , hat beats St. Louis will have to rnas- er the offensive and defensive side of .he forward pass. But pass or no pass Nebraska has great team this year , and the pros- pects for a greater one next year with he additional material all In sight on the university campus. And Coach Cole's name , If the wind blows right , s going to bo linked with Nebraska's as only Booth's has been. Saturday's game was between the old football and the new , and It proved to be about the new game that the contest revolved. And In most of the plays that counted the ball was In the air. The game more than any other brought opinion to a focus on "re formed" football. And there were two minds. "It Isn't ' the game It used to be , " mourned a football follower of years standing. "No It isn't. I am really bcglnnlg to enjoy the game , " ' Joined In a Lin coin citizen. It Is the uncertainty , the luck , the erratic offense that alarms the one , the open , spectacular play that ap peals to the other. Saturday's game In Its spectacula : sway of fortune and dramatic victory has a place In western football history , But that the Nebraska-Amos gam was really what the football critics a Lincoln declared It to bo In the ma ment of enthusiasm must be denied The Lincoln Journal said : "Th battle which waged between the corn' buskers and the men from Ames de- gorvos to go down lntho history Q : A Great least I Over a ton of Arbuckles' Ariosa Coffee is roasted a * a time , in a large revolving : cylinder , which drops the coffee through heat again and again until each bean is uniformly roasted.
