FIRST LARGE FORMAL DINNER
PARTY LAST NIQHT.
INAUGURATES ACTIVE SEASON
Dinner Party Friday Evening and
Luncheon Thursday Afternoon the
Features of the Week Coming
Events Occupy Attention.
"While the week has witnessed the
largest and most formal dinner party
of the season , yet an a whole It has
been an unusually dull week In social
circles. The approaching fair nnd
nupper to bo given by the ladles of the
Congregational church at the church
parlors next Thursday evening , the
dinner and supper by the Ladles guild
of Trinity church at Marquardt hall
on December D , combined with the
near approach of Thanksgiving , have
nil tended to make u rather quiet
\veck. But the first large formal din
ner party given last evening Is only
the beginning of what promises to bo
nn unusually delightful season. With
the winter evenings coming on , Nor
folk Is getting moro and more into
the swing of the regular galtlt'B of the
period , and practically all forms of
ovonlng and afternoon diversion arc
crowding in to III ! up the calendar.
Thanksgiving dinners are already be
ing arranged for and the slelghbulls
of Santa Claus , always the zenith of
the winter's activity , can even now
bo heard jingling over the hillside.

The new organization will be
launched at a banquet In Norfolk on

"SAFE AND SANE" ELEMENTS
LACKING IN MANY PROPOSALS.
POPULIST IS BEING OUTDONE
The Ex-Senator bees Many Movements
In National Politics and Legislative
Fields That He , a a Popullat , Can
not Endorse.
Madison , Nob. , Nov. 18. From n
staff correspondent : "Tho world do
move. "
The Parker demorcacy should have
copyrighted the conservative phrase ,
"safe and sane" for former United
States Senator William V. Allen tak
ing advantage of this negligence has
added the phrase to his own vocabu
lary.
In these days when the swift swing
of current events nnd politics Is put
ting now crlnks In party views Sen
ator Allen finds' ' that he can use the
words "safe nnd sane" Just as effec
tively as those who once used the
phrase to decry Ideas popullstlc.
It Is a peculiar commentary on the
times that Senator Allen , the ranking
leader in the days of the people's In
dependent party , can now find apt
use for the shop-worn phrase of the
conservative , "safe and sane. "
There are several movements In na
tional politics and legislative fields
just now that Senator Allen does not
think are exactly "safe and sane. "
And when the senator says that cer
tain current courses of action lack In
sanity and safety it makes his audit
ors take notice and maybe think a lit
tle for the cry for safety and sanity is
a cry of conservatism and apparently
just now the advice of western popu
lism is advice for "safety and sanity. "
After all many men now dispute the
old theory that all men are either con
servatives or radicals and align them
selves accordingly.
Senator Allen , who still holds many
of the Ideas once widely decried by
conservatives , says that he sees In
many current proposals In the east
and even In the course of the adminis
tration many lines of action and sug
gested action that closely parallel pop
ulist plans but which are lacking In
many elements of "safety and sanity"
which the popullstlc Ideas contained.
And many of the wilder suggestions
never regularly adopted by the popu
list party the senator finds are
equaled and even exceeded by sug
gestions seriously made today.
At least that Is the senator's Idea.
Madison football is making a noise
like the champion.
With their goal line still to be
crossed and with the Gates academy
brought Into camp by the score of 17
to 0 the Madison high school Is mak
ing a good claim to the high school
football championship of north Ne
braska. The Norfolk high school has
been twice defeated this year by the
Madison boys , who during the present
season have not been scored against
by any of their opponents.
But Madison may not be content
with the championship of north Ne
braska. If on Thanksgiving day Madi
son defeats Columbus at the Platte
river town supporters of the Madison
team will not bo backward In laying
claim to the tnterscholastic champion
ship of the state.
The York high school , since defeatIng -
Ing Omaha , has been credited with
the high school championship. But
Madison men say that if Madison wins
from Columbus York will have to do
something to Madison to have a clear
title to the state championship.
Madison business and professional
men are taking a lively Interest In
football this fall.
William Rockofellow of Grove , the
last of his tribe , still survives.
Populism Is not yet stamped from
the face of the earth for luck and the
Goddess of Fortune have smiled on
the popullstlc countenance of William
Rockofellow.
William Rockofellow , still clinging
to the once powerful people's Indepen
dent party , Is to be the only populist
office-holder In Madison county.
At the November election Rockofel
low was the only Madison county man
who appeared on the ballot as a popu
list candidate. Ho sought to be road
commissioner in district No. 5 and
spurned all party labels but the popu-
llstic. At the election he tied with
David Larson for the place , both men
receiving twenty-six votes.
Friday the tie was decided In Coun
ty Clerk Richardson's ofllco by lot.
Rockofellow stood well with fortune
and populism still lingers in the coun
ty.
ty.At
At the same time the tie vote for
commissioner of road district No. 15
was decided , the Green Garden com-
mlsslonershlp going to G. O. Schmltt
over Fred Dlerks.
A strenuous runaway was the only
fatality or accident recorded from the
Madlson-Nellgh football game Satur
day. The runaway did not result in a
"scrimmage" nor from a "mass play"
or anything of the kind. It was the
"rooting , " after Madison victory , that
sent a heavy farm team plunging up
the street. Football playing has been
reformed" by the new rules but foot
ball "rooting" Is just as brutal and
every bit as noisy as ever. Football
can never be made a quiet parlor game
until the "rooter" is suppressed.
How much docs it cost to run for a
county office ? .
Not more than $100 , the law says.
Madison county candidates at the
recent election have filed sworn ex
pense statements -with County Clerk
Richardson. Otto Zuelow , the defeat *
treasurer , heads the list with $70 ox
puidrd Dr. It L. Kindred , who math
the race for coroner unopposed , was
init to no campaign expense.
For treasurer Mr. Huelow spent $70
Frank A. Peterson , $50.05.
John H. 1 landing's expenses In the
commissioner light were $15. Ilcnrj
Sundermnn , the new commissioner
was put to $37.50 expense.
George Richardson , who won the
clerkship again , spent $31.50 , Matt
Schaffcr , jr. , $58.50.
George Losey , who lost lu his fight
for sheriff , spent $70 , while Sheriff
J. Clements got along with $35.50.
Judge Bates spent $19 to secure his
re-election. Chris Schavlnnd spent
$31.50 for campaign purposes.
P. W. Ruth's expenses In the asses-
sorshlp contest were $21.
County Superintendent F. S. Perdue
and District Clerk W. H. Field , who
had no opposition , spent $28 and $27.50
respectively.
A. J. Thatch , who was elected surveyor - .
veyor by the voters without the for-
mnllty of a party nomination , never
theless contributed $5 to the republican
committee.
J. F. Flynn annexed the Norfolk .
: onstableshlp to the office of chief of
:
wllce and spent $8.50 In the effort.
Most of the expenses represent cen-
, ral committee assessments and elec
tion cards and other forms of adver
tising.
Thursday , the fourteenth , was spent
> y Cupid in the county judge's olilce.
' 'our marriage licenses were issued
> y Judge Bates during the day. Li
censes were granted to Johann H.
Locht and Miss Caroline Dreessen of :
Norfolk , to Rev. Henry Ilindmarch of
Inman and Miss Lizzie Stuart who
came from Ireland for her wedding , to
Carl Fred Braasch and Miss Louise
Relche who were married In Norfolk
Sunday and to Samuel Ray Benlsh
and Miss Annie Matilda Skiff. Earlier
In the week a license was issued to
Henry J. Felling and Miss Annie Broz
of near Madison.
Friends of County Superintendent
Perdue have been congratulating him
on the fact that , though his name ap
peared near the foot of this year's bal
lot , he received a bigger total vote In
the county than any other candidate ,
including those who like Mr. Perdue
had no opposition at the election. Mr.
Pordue's vote was 2,189 , the total vote
cast at the election , 3,247.

Mail is in Fremont today attending

FLOWER OF RANCH CANCELLED
Booking Manager of the Company Says :
Not Enough Money In Sight.
i
Norfolk will not see "Tho Flower
of the Ranch , " that most excellent .
western play with music , Joseph How
ard and Mabel Barrlson taking the
leading parts. In response to a de
mand frequently made by the people
of Norfolk for a first-class attraction
at the local play house , the Auditorium j
management secured an option on this
piece , which Is without doubt the fin .
est that has ever been offered a Nor '
folk audience , for the ovonlng of December
>
cember 4. The guarantee demanded
was $400 , and as this was more than
:
the management felt disposed to make
without assurance that Norfolk wanted
.
ed the attraction , a canvass was made
to see. The result of that canvass
was that something less than $200
worth of tickets would bo purchased
by the theatre-going public of the city
In case "Tho Flower of the Ranch"
were secured. A statement showing
the result of the canvass was sent to
Harry Askln of Chicago , booking man
ager of the company , and a reply has
Just been received stating that It
would be Impossible for the company
to appear here with the prospects of
a seat sale.
The company presenting "The Flow
er of the Ranch" consists of more than
forty people and the dally expense ac
count runs up Into the hundreds of
dollars , so that the manager does not
send the company to a town unless
there Is an assurance that at least ex
penses will be met. The guarantee re
quired was not expected to cover all
the receipts of the evening , as there is
always a certain per cent of seats sold
at the door , and this was all taken
Into consideration in determining
whether the attraction would be put y
on here. The decision was that there
was not enough in siglit to justify
staging the play In Norfolk.
The management did not make individually
ra
vidually this guarantee for the reason
that every time It has guaranteed an
attraction the house has lost money ,
and the show business in Norfolk Is
not yet on such a safe foundation that
It cares to invest in any more enter
prises of that character.

"LID" IS BEING PUT ON.
Reform Wave Swoops Over Towns
West of Chamberlain.
n
Mitchell , S. D. , Nov. 1C. The towns
out west of Chamberlain , on the res
ervation are getting the lid put on
good and tight even for the smaller
vices. Gambling of a public nature
has been tabooed long ago , and the
sheriff of Lyman county has Just made >
a trip through Presho , Kennobec , Dra
per and Vivian and has ordered that
the slot machines In all the stores betaken
taken out , and the alacrity with which
they responded to his demand was sur
prising when heretofore so little atten
tion was paid to this small vice. The
3.
conditions of morality through all tbe
L
towns from Oacoma to Murdo have
been completely renovated In the past
few years and If some of the bad men

BIG MACHINERY STOREHOUSE OF
E. A. BULLOCK.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM FIRE
In the Building is Stored $60,000 Worth
of Threshing Machinery Fire De
partment Does Quick Work and Pre
vents Conflagration.
[ From Monday' * Dally. ]
Flames and a dense black smoke
shooting high Into the air were the
cause of a firm alarm at noon , which
quickly brought the fire department to
the warehouse of E. A. Bullock , be
tween Madison and Philip avenues on
Seventh , The dromon responded with
remarkable promptness nnd It only
took them a few minutes to nip In the
bud what might have proved a disas
trous conllagratlon.
The trouble arose from an open
settle of pitch nnd tar which was be-
ng heated over a wood fire about six-
een feet to the rear of the warehouse ,
> reparatory to covering tbe roof of
ho new addition. In melting the mix-
tire the fire under It was allowed to
) ecome too hot and it boiled over , the
nllammablo stuff igniting from the
Ire below , and in an Instant a sheet
) f llanie and smoke was mounting
ikyward. Before the arrival of the
ire companies it seemed Impossible
hat the woodwork of the building
ould bo prevented from catching fire ,
iieanlng the loss of the warehouse and
ioiitcnts , some $ GO,000 worth of
hrcshlng machinery. But the firemen
ioon had a stream of water playing on
ho lire and the excitement was over
icarly as qiuckly as It started.
Mr. Bullock is now in the east and
vlll not bo back for a week. Those
eft to take charge of the business are
mrtlcularly thankful that they are not
jbliged to report a heavy fire loss In
stead of simply a severe fright , when
10 returns.

INITIAL TRIP OF CAR ON THE
BONESTEEL RUN.
LEFT THE CITY DEPOT AT 7.15 :
Latest Innovation In Passenger Ser
vice la Crowded With Passengers
on Its Trial Trip Many People Wit
ness the Start From Norfolk.
, A few more lines In north Nebraska
railroad history were written Monday
morning when the Northwestern ran
Its first motor car out of Norfolk.
The now car , at present the only one
In Northwestern service , will run reg
ularly between Norfolk and Bonestecl ,
replacing the Bonestoel passenger
added to the north line during the
rush of summer traffic.
Public Interest In the new car , which
Is one of the Innovations In modern
passenger transportation , was evi
denced by the big crowd of Norfolk
people that greeted the new motor
car on Its first run into the uptown
station at 7:35 : a. in.
The capacity of the car was taxed
In its first trip out of Norfolk but
those who boarded the train were
only a small part of the crowd at the
depot curious for a glimpse at the lat
est departure from the old time lines
of railroading.
It Is a striking looking car , this lat
est motor car manufactured by the
Union Pacific company. A long red
steel car with a pointed bill , It re
sembles the old passenger coach about
as little as Its shrill whistle docs the
"toot" of the old-line locomotive.
The motor car Is fifty-five feet long.
Entrance to the car Is through a side
door near the middle of the coach.
The gasoline engine that drives the
car and all other parts of the car ma
chinery are in the front apartment ,
entirely separated from the main portion
tion of the coach. The car runs easy ,
the vibration of the engine not being
appreciably noticeable.
The "Bonesteel" motor Is the best
and most up-to-date motor car in rail
road service today. The Union Pacific
has eighteen of the cars in service.
The Northwestern's car and two oth
ers manufactured Just before It repre
sent the very latest In motor car con
struction. And these new cars show
great Improvement over the cars first
designed.
The motor car has a comfortable
seating capacity of seventy-nine pee
ple. It Is heated by hot water and
lighted by acetylene gas. A pleasant
feature of the car is the observation
apartment In the rear of the coach.
Two trainmen handle the new car ,
a conductor and a motorman. A. Mc
Gregor of Fremont as conductor and
F. Rainey as Motorman had charge
of the car on its Initial trip out of
Norfolk. Conductor McGregor had
charge of the car during Its success
ful trial runs at Fremont and will re
turn to Fremont as soon as relieved
by the regular conductor.
The new car follows the old tlmo
schedule. It has a good speed capac
ity and during the past month has
been run up to fifty miles an hour on
the Fremont-York line.
The now motor was ono feature of
the Northwestern's new time card
which became effective Sunday. The
most Important feature of the now
card was the abandonment of trains
No. 1 and 2 west of lyjiig Pine , here
tofore known ns the Lander train , and
the consequent changing of the Lan
der service to connect with the Black
Hills train at Chadron.
With the new tlmo card Introduced
Sunday , The News adopts the policy
of printing daily the time tattles of the
three roads leading out of Norfolk.
This action Is taken to meet the re
quests not only of Norfolk but of north
Nebraska people who make train con
nections In Norfolk , it being represent
ed that the railroad time table Is a
matter of no small convenience to the
readers of a dally paper.
