' HOPE FOR Y , f.U . , A , BUILDING Norfolk Business Men Plan Effective Campaign Along This Line. It Is no secret that Norfolk business I I men who have interested themselves In the state convention of the Y. M. . A. to bo held In Norfolk next Feb ruary have something more than the convention in mind. Every effort dl- rect towards the success of the con- ventlon , it is felt , Is an effort towards a campaign for a Y. M. C. A. building for Norfolk. "Norfolk people should make up their mind to have a Y. M. C. A. building and organization , " said one Norfolk avenue business man. "It Is a big proposition but it brings big re suits. Wo want a gymnasium , a read' Ing room and if possible a swimming pool for Norfolk boys yes and wo want the same things for ourselves. " Simon Mayer of Mayer Brothers of Lincoln , who is in Norfolk on a visit with his brother , says that the Lin coln Y. M. C. A. has the enthusiastic support and patronage of Lincoln . business men. "There are any num- I her of Lincoln business men who spend their noon hour at the Y. M. C. A. building , putting in a half hour at physical culture and then taking lunch in the same building. I have a brother - or in Lincoln who has been carrying out this program for some time. " FARM HOUSE BURNS. Fire Near West "Feint William Brel tlnger to Leave Nebraska. West Point , Neb. , Nov. 9.

MAY ELIMINATE NEW YORK It Is Predicted That One Result of the Situation Will be the Elimination of New York City as the Only Reserve Center. Washington , Nov. 9. It Is a safe prediction to say that by the flrst of next week business conditions In the northwest will be moving along again In the regular way. Money to handle the grain and produce - duce has been provided for , and only the smaller details remain to bo worked out. One result of the present temporary money stringency will bo to eliminate Now York as a general converging center for national bank balances for pretty much the entire country. Hun dreds of national bankers In the west with reserve balances In New York will favor the establishing of a re serve center somewhere within their own territory. SPORTS BUTTON HOLDS TITLE. Beats Jake Schaefer In the 18.2 Hard Match for Championship. | Chicago , Nov. S ) , George Sutton maintained his supremacy at IS.2 bll- lards by beating Jake Schaefer do- , clslvely In a very ordinary game by score of 500 to 211. It was the second end time Sutton has beaten Schaefer 'or this title. Sutton made a high run of 232 , lack- ng Just nine of equaling Schaefer's otal score. Neither man was particularly brll- lant. Sutton , who had been making mis of 250 and 300 , night after night , n his practice games , and averaging close to 100 a game , only ran an av erage of a little over 33 , while Schaef er's average was only a fraction over G. Sutton took the lead In the first in ning , when he made a run of 12 , and lOlmefer was even able to overtake him. The champion played a steady ; ame from the start , his touch and troke being almost perfect. Whether nursing the balls or play- ng around the table he was accurate n his calculations. In his ninth trial Sutton collected 232 billiards , most of .hem being made In the center of the able , where his delicate touch was displayed in a remarkable manner. Only three times during the run did he scatter the balls , and then It took but a single shot to collect them again. In the fourth inning Sutton had the balls together at the foot of the table and was clicking off the billiards in beautiful style when he made a foul on his seventy-second shot , leaving .he balls up. In the fifth Schaefer made his high run of 93 , and it looked as though he would overtake the champion. In or der to get the balls In better position on his ninety-fourth shot he chose n difficult one-cushion shot instead of an easy draw , and missed it. After that he was not able to do anything .intll the twelfth Inning , when ho rolled up a score of 90. Out of the fifteen times up Schaefer made six goose eggs , while Sutton failed to score in only one Inning. The score : Sutton 12 , 27 , 13 , 13 , 8 , 1 , 232 , 2G , 55 , G , 3 , 0 , 3 500. High run , 232 ; average , 33 5-15. Schaefer 0 , 7 , 0 , 5 , 93 , 1 , 0 , 9 , 14 , 0 , 21 , 90 , 0 , 1 , 0 241. High run , 93 ; average , 1C 1-15. NEED FOOTBALL CHANGE. Walter Eckersall Says Limit of Five Games Is Too Short. Chicago , Nov. 9. Eckersall says : When the big nine conference meets again there will be a harder fight made to get the football schedule lengthened than there was last year. The lack of wisdom In a system allowing but five games is becoming so apparent that no person , not even a professor , can have the temerity to longer defend It. It is probable the season will be lengthened to at least seven games. It should be. As the system Is ar ranged now the teams have several vacant Saturdays and all the disad vantages that go with periods of ces sation from the tests for which they prepare. The flvo game schedule plan has no logic to support it. It does not in any way shorten the season. It does not take less tlmo from school work than seven or nine games would. And there are other reasons against it that all those who know football understand. If the football season lasted three or four months thcro might bo some objection. It extends over from seven to nine weeks. Games should be played weekly while the teams are working. With seven games on the schedule a team can have four good games , with three practice games in between. This gives the players a better chance to keep In condition , and really docs away with many abuses now the sub ject of complaint. If the colleges want football retain ed they should agree to Its being run on a sensible plan. If the game Is worth taking up at all It Is worth be ing perfected. The five game plan Is In no sense a reform It Is n Joke. Another reform which should be In stituted Is the abolition of the Thanks giving day edict. How many athlet ically Inclined people can help asso ciating football with this day ? Enthu siasts used to look forward to the reat gamca la Chicago between Chi- cage and Michigan , and Chicago and Wisconsin. Society also looked for- ivard to this event and turned out en nnsse. There \a \ nothing unbecoming n a Thanksgiving day game , unless o the puritanical , and why should It DO done away with ? The public wants the game and so do the students. Con- rol of football should bo vested In hose who know something of football as well as Sanskrit and abstruse in eta- uiyslcs. Judging from the demand for tick ets to the big'intercollegiate football ; ames which mark the close of the season , and the arrangements being made for long excursion trips to the fields of play , football has lost nothing of Interest through the many changes mndo In the playing code. The appli cations being received nt the various university . centers for tickets to the Princeton-Yale , Yale-Harvard , Penn sylvania-Michigan , and Chicago-Indian sanies are so great that already it is evident that the stands surrounding the , gridiron nt these contests will bo filled to overflowing. A concerted effort Is being made to prevent the ticket speculator from reaping his usual harvest at the ex pense of the late comers. In the east | the Yale-Princeton tickets appear to be in greatest demand. The action of the athletic committee nt Harvard In refusing to erect the customary tern- . porary stands at the open end of tho' ' stadium will restrict the seating ca pacity of that arena to about 32,000 spectators. The permanent stands nt. Yale field will accommodate as many , | If not 500 more , so that from the standpoint of attendance the Yale- Princeton game Is likely to hold the record at the end of the season. . At Chicago temporary stands will be erected at both ends of the field , Increasing the seating capacity to about 20,000. Reservations are being made dally , and from these it is safe to predict a large attendance. The indications are that Wisconsin university faculty is to be assailed by a state-wide wrath this winter , so general and vehement that It will en force a now athletic policy at Madison. Unless Wisconsin's football team makes a better showing in the games still remaining , the university profes sors will be open to much criticism. It is felt that the faculty members who have opposed all athletic pro jects have Injured the university. A new movement is on foot to bring po litical pressure to bear on the univer sity which will compel the "cranks" on the faculty to be more liberal. Thousands of the Cardinal grad uates are scattered through the state , and if organized can bring great weight to bear on the political situa- tion. The university could be embar- tassed by legislative indifference to Its needs. If it should be put up to the college authorities to "get In the game" or take' the consequences there might be some quick shifts in posi tion. A real war is threatened and its rumbling can be heard. JOHNSON AND JEFFRIES. Tex Rickard Offers Forty Thousand for the Match. Chicago , Nov. 9. "Tex" Rickard , who promoted the Gans-Nelson fight at Goldfleld , it is reported , wants to bring ? Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries and will guarantee a $40,000 purse for the match. He would stage It in Nevada , but this is In the event John son defeats Tommy Burns. Rickard says he sees no reason why Jeffries should draw the color line , ns he has fought colored men before. The Nevada fight promoter evident ly is under the impression that , should Johnson beat Burns , he will be match ing the colored man against the chanv pion instead of the champion against Jeffries. The latter has no more claim on the heavyweight title than has a man who never fought for it at all , all arguments to the contrary notwith standing. "Big Jim" retired more than three years ago , and repeatedly refused to consider big offers to fight. Shortly after he announced his retirement ho refereed the advertised heavyweight | championship battle between Marvin Hart and Jack Root , and in declaring Hart the winner ho also declared him champion. If the fight was not for the championship , and ho knew it was advertised as such , and after the bat- tie declared It a battle for the title , ho was guilty of misrepresentations. He also refereed two advertised heavyweight championship fights be tween Tommy Burns and Jack O'Brien and the sporting public accepted them as such. There can bo only one holder of a championship , and that honor belongs to Burns ; therefore , should Johnson beat Tommy , Jeffries , should he enter the ring to fight the big black , will dose so as an ex-champion and not as a champion.

RICHARDSON IS A CLOSE SECOND Peterson Comes Out of the Race With 861 More Votes Than His Opponent. Richardson Has 681 to His Credit. Summary of Returns. Madison , Nob. , Nov. 11. From n staff correspondent : Madison county , by the official returns now compiled , ran up moro than half a thousand ma- jorlty for the republican state ticket , Judge M. B. Reese for supreme Judge carried Madison county at the Tuesday election by 519 votes over Lootnls. A year ago Sheldon carried the county by 279. The official can vass just completed by County Clerk Richardson shows that this year the republicans carried fifteen precincts and tied one. The democratic head of the ticket carried soven. This gives the republicans a majority of the elec tion officials next year. heavy off-year vote was cast Tues day. For the county It totaled 3,247 ugalnst 2,840 last fall when a full state ticket was up. In Norfolk the prin cipal Increase in vote was In the Fourth Ward where the vote jumped from 104 to 172. The official figures glvo Frank Pe terson county honors with a majority of 861. County Clerk Richardson presses after him with n majority of G81. Sheriff Clements won out by 287 whHc Ruth won the assessor's office by ninetyKsno votesl Harding was only beaten by seventy-two votes , car rying the county outside of rcpttb- ican Newman Grove by a majority of fifty-four. The official majority for Judge Bates was 473. The tabulated statement of the of- flclal canvass is given In The News. i It cost County Clerk George E. Rich ardson $31.50 to make the successful race for county clerk. Up to Satur day Mr. Richardson was the only can- illdato at Tuesday's election who had Illed an election expense account. A state statute compels both the suc cessful and the defeated candidates to fllo such a statement within ten lays of election. Official returns only show more ilalnly than ever that the story of Tuesday's county election is a story of Newman Grove. When P. W. Ruth , on the republican ticket for assessor , mtered Newman Grove ho was 118 votes behind Manning in the other wenty-two precincts. Sheriff Clem ents entered Newman Grove with a majority of 101 In the rest of the county and Commissioner Harding was close behind him with a majority of fifty-four with republican Newman Grove to hear from. But Newman Grove pushed Clements up to 287 , turned Ruth's deficit into a ninety-one majority and knifed Harding until his najorlty disappeared in the strongest republican precinct In the county. \1 \ How many places can a horse thief be at one time ? There are no kind of clues moro numerous than horse thief "clues" and It would be an en ergetic horse snatcher who could keep up with the pace set by the clue mak ers. A horse thief Is usually seen simultaneously in a dozen different parts of the country and to the sher iff the most confusing part of the mat ter is that one or more of the clues may be "real. " The Wayne county thieves , who made way with four Worses a week ago Saturday night , were thought to have gone west , possibly through Mad ison county. Sunday following the stealing men answering the descrip tion were seen close to Madison , Wednesday the description was again answered eleven miles south of Mad ison. ison.Sheriff Sheriff Clements has put In a fair share of his time since election in try ing to keep pace with "clues" touch ing the Wayne horse thieves. Mary E. Bonney , through Attorney W. V. Allen , has brought suit in the district court against J. W. Ransom and wife to set aside the deed to lot seventeen j , block one of Koenigsteln's Third addition to Norfolk. Seeking to sever ties matrimonial Mrs. Grace Cole has filed a divorce suit against her husband , Robert Cole , They were married in Pontlac , 111. , on March 5 , 1903. Desertion and non support is alleged. The suit was filed by Barnhart & Koenlgsteln. Cupid , having been playing politics instead of love , has done a slack bust ness in marriage licenses. John F. Mcsny and Miss Mary Fassbender were married by Rev. H. W. Fricke of Madison. Clyde C. Wright and Miss Mamlo E. Ames by Judge Bates. Madison county's most enthusiastic football "rooter" is County Clerk George E. Richardson. Charles Groes beck knows a thing or two about horse races and E. B. Kauffman Is the "fan" incarnate when the diamond doings start but it is Richardson's turn when the football season rolls around In the fall. The county clerk was nervous Saturday afternoon until ho got telephone - phone connections with Madison's ten to nothing victory over Norfolk. "I really ought to have gone , " said the county clerk. The only populist candidate In Mad Ison county failed to draw moro than a tlo vote Tuesday. William Rockofellow of Grove , who sought to bo road commissioner In district No. D , enjoyed the distinction of belli it the only man In Madison county to ( Ho nt the primaries for n nomination at the hands of the peoples ples independent party. From his Iso lated place on the populist ticket Rock * | ofcllow neither won nor lost. Twonty-six votes were cast for Rockofollow , while twenty-six other viters In Grove precinct wrote the nanto of David I/arson on their ballots. There were sovornl ties In the pro I duct contests and County Clerk Rich ' ardson has notified the candidates con cerned to assemble In his office to have the matter decided by lot. In Green Garden precinct , district No. 15 , G. O. Schmltt and Fred Dlorks each received forty-three votes for road commissioner. Results of rend cominlHsionor in tho' ether road districts showed the fol lowing j men elected : Henry Ueckor , district No. 1 ; William Lowe , 2 ; John Urown , 3 ; Perry C. Harris , i ; Andy TlllottKon , G ; John H. Ilcggomoyor , 7 ; Joseph Hoiilsh , 8 ; B. C. Davis , 9 ; O. T. llostrom , 10 ; Jacob Ambroz , 11 ; Dan Scbeer , 12 ; L M. Johnson , 13 ; Jacob Gabclman , 14 ; Charles Weltz , 1C. Less Interest over the county was. displayed In the offices of Justice of' the pence and constable than In the precinct office of road commissioner. The returns show many tics where different men received only one vote for the precinct office of justice or constable. A good proportion of the men chosen will not qualify.

Sportsmen of this part of the state arc complet ing preparations for what will be the greatest roundup of wolves In the his tory of northeastern South Dakota , The roundup will take place In about ten 3ays , and it is expected it j will result in the annihilation of the wolves which have infested this re gion for months. These animals have been a source of annoyance and loss to the sheep raisers of this locality for some time , and recently the depredation of the wolves have become of so serious a character that it was decided to orga nize the roundup and exterminate them. The aid of Phil Fox of Durand , Wls. , the owner of a fine kennel of hounds , has been enlisted , and he has prom ised to participate in the roundup and bring with him a number of his best wolf hounds. In view of this some rare sport is anticipated. In order to pay the expense of bring ing Mr. Fox and his famous hounds to the state an assessment of 2 cents per sheep has been levied upon the sheep owners who will be benefited by the roundup , and these assessments are now being cheerfully paid by the sheepmen. The roundup parties will consist of an aggregate of several score of ex pert marksmen and horsemen , and a wide scope of country will ho sys tematically traversed In the effort to locate and kill every wolf In this re gion.
