Incidentally Mr. Gardner's statement Is of Interest the country over for It corresponds In spirit with much that the Ne > rthwcstern vice-pres ident has said before. "It Is my opinion that railroad com missions are poor places for the rail roads and the shippers to air their grievances. So Is any other public forum. The shippers and the railroads ought to confer on all subjects of dlf- forenco between thorn and work out the solution together In a friendly and reciprocal spirit. " This statement was made by W. A. Gardner before the Illinois railroad and warehouse commission , where he testified with regard to the controver sy over switching rates In Chicago just before ho started on his recent trip west.

Mr. Gardner told the commission that ho bollovcd both the railroads and the shippers wcro trying to approach preach subjects of difference with fair minds. The Northwestern had , for example , spent more than $3,000,000 In the past few years In providing ad ditional yard facilities in Chicago , and the shippers had also expended largo sums In the same effort to decrease the causes of friction between the two Interests. "I am free to admit , " ho declared , "that the Northwestern still lacks somewhat In facilities , as do the ship pers who have Industries on our lines. Wo are trying to eradicate that de ficiency as rapidly as possible and there Is growing up a bettor spirit of co-operation between our road and our patrons In this respect. I think both Interests hnvo at last recognized that the fault Is not all on ono side. " Mr. Gardner has made frequent vis its through Norfolk , covering North western territory on Inspection trips.

Chadron Journal : Varying condl tlons of business have made several new Northwestern tlmecards necessary - sary during the past year and It will be noticed that there are some important - portant change's made at this tlmo Trains number ono and two have been taken off. This Is probably due tc the light travel to the Black Hills al this season of the year and the chances os are that the trains will bo put on again within a few months. Wo arc satisfied that the Northwestern has even larger and bettor plans for the passenger service of the west and north than the addition of these twc trains. Everyone knows that the Northwestern has been ono of UK first to meet Its ebligatlons under the laws of the state In the matter of pay Ing taxes and that It has done less kicking about the new laws of the state governing the railroads than an > other road In the state. Thus It be comes apparent that those changes have become necessary because ol compelling circumstances. PROHIBITION IN SOUTH DAKOTA New Version of the State Law Mean ing Absolute Prohibition.

T. Mclvenm to sell liquor In the town of Reliance and when arrested on a charge of 11 legal liquor selling he brought in hit license as a defense. As there wai no municipal organization at Rellanc < and no vote cither favorable or un favorable had ever been had , the court holds that it was no defense. SHOT TORE THROUGH FACE. Johnnie Jacobs Finds More Danger In Peace Than In War. Wlsner Free Press : While out hunt ing with a party of town comrades Sunday , Johnny Jacobs met with a serious accident at the hands of ono of his companions , Richard Wagner. In the act of shooting at some object his fellow hunter came In range as the gun was discharged and the shot took effect In the left forearm , face and neck of his fellow hunter. It was a serious hurt , and , but that John had his gun on his shoulder to ward the shot , it might have been worse. As It was this member re ceived the greater force of the dis charge , some of the shot going entire ly through. One shot knocked out two teeth and lodged In the tongue ; an other plowed up the bridge of the nose and came within a grazer of the right eyo. In fact , Johnny's face Is a pic ture of the landscape after the Johns town Hood. There was a number In the hunting party and all were much excited , and justly so , at the accident. The care less handling of firearms will be for ever Impressed upon them by the nar row escape of their comrade. He was brought In In a spring wagon and Dr. Rlley extracted the shot that were close to the surface ; the one from the tongue and but one from the forearm. Though sadly disfigured he Is still In the ring for business. John went through the Spanish-American war and came out as a corporal , without a scratch , and decides that it is more dangerous In peace than In war. Saloon Issue at New Orleans.

A GOOD MAN FOR THE PLACE Appointment Is to be Made by State Auditor Searle and Confirmed by Governor Sheldon Mr. Schavland Now County Treasurer. Madison , Neb. , Nov. 27. From a staff correspondent : The name of a Madison county citizen Is being pro- seated Just now for a state office of some Importance. Chris Schnvlnnd , at present county treasurer of Madison county but whoso term of olllco expires the first of the year , may bo Nebraska's first state accountant. At least his name has been advanced In connection with the appointment to the now olllco created by the last legislature. Auditor Scarlo Is authorized to inuko the appointment with the ap proval of the governor. Mr. Scliav- land's ' name has been presented to the state auditor and ho has been given the hearty endorsement of a number of prominent republicans. About Mr. Schavland's qualification for the position there Is of course no question. His record ns county treas urer hasn't been excelled In Madison county. In the "politics" of the appointment Mr. Schavland can expect hearty sup port from north Nebraska. Auditor Searlo has already proposed several names that have not met with Gov ernor Sheldon's endorsement. It Is thought that the governor would agree to Mr. Schavland's name. Jack R. Manning , fusion candidate for assessor , came In a little late with sis expense statement. Mr. Manning's election expenses amounted to $20. Constable G. F. Bllger of Norfolk did not have to "dig" for re-election , lie just spread his sails and sailed back Into office.

SEWER CONSTRUCTORS NOW SAT ISFIED ON THAT POINT. SCHEME DOESN'T SEEM SUCCESS Because of Inability to Always Con form the Ways of Nature to the Wlohes of Mankind , Sewer Work Has to be Done Over. Because water won't run up hill In Norfolk any more than It will any where else In the fair universe , Nor folk Is engaged In relaying a stretch of pipe at the mouth of the main sower. The mouth of the sewer was recent ly altered at the expense of a few hun dred dollars. The job was alright only the pipe Instead of descending was elevated at the angle It should have dropped. Expecting no unusual favors from nature and having a pretty good Idea that water wouldn't run up hill even In Norfolk , the city has had the sewer pipe reset nt the proper slant. The job was ono of some dimensions but Is sufficiently near finished that Nor folk cotmcllmen are assured that the city council won't be called on to re verse the law of gravitation. It Is not known just where the addi tional expense will fall. There Is also some difference of opinion as to where the blame lies. ATHLETIC CUM IN PROJECT Joe Carroll Will Organize One If He Receives Encouragement. The organization ot an athletic club Is a project that Is In the air In Nor folk just now.

Carroll has consented to go In on the club project if a largo enough class in physical culture Is In sight. In ad dition to physical culture he would teach wrestling , boxing , bag punch ing and fencing. The sentiment of Norfolk business men towards the proposed club will be sounded and If enough business men are Inclined to join with a num ber of young men of Norfolk In pushIng - Ing the deal the club will bo carried through. A number of Norfolk trav eling men have said they were In favor of the club. If fifty Norfolk men would contrib ute an Initial $5 the sum raised would secure and furnish a suitable room with light equipment and a shower bath In addition to securing the ser vices of Carroll as director. Carroll says that he could put the club on Its feet In about a month or six weeks. Oscar Wasem , who met Carroll Mon- daq , remains in the'city for the Satur day match. Wasem expects to get some north Nebraska quail before tbo season closes. Jack O'Leary , who goes In with Carroll for the big handi cap match against Wasem Saturday night , Is up the Bonesteel line. Carroll has fought In the ring as well us wrestled. His father , Jim Carroll , who Is still living , was an English champion In the prize ring and has fought In many American cities. How He Grew Young. Ou i satisfied man returned from a two weeks' holiday. lie spent It on a farm owned by an old aunt , and the royal way In which she fed him , to use his own description , formed the chief delight of his holiday. "You see , " bo remarked confidential ly , "my wife Is a graduate of a diet and cooking school of the most up to date sort. She sens that we never have u meal which Isn't perfectly balanced us to food values. The things wo eat are chosen with reference to that and not with regard to whether we like them especially. Well , I can tell you , old Aunt Laura , with her table just groaning with forbidden , Indigestible articles , was a mighty welcome change to me. She never heard of carbohy drates or phosphates or cellulose , and she wouldn't know a protcld If she met one In n bean porridge , whore , by the way , I believe they largely congre gate. But I tell you her fried chicken and fresh pork and biscuits were the finest things I've had for years. My wife actually turned pale when she saw me eat , and I know she was wor ried , because wo were six miles from n doctor. I was never 111 for a minute , though , and those two weeks of old fashioned , unscientific cooking have made mo feel like a new man or , rather , Hko a boy again. " London M. A. P.

DEMOCRATS AFTER ASSESSOR REPUBLICANS CONTEST CLERK AND COMMISSIONER. HIGH FEELING OVER PROCEEDING t The Anti-Treat Law Will be Used as a Basis for Disqualifying Officers , and the Result May be Far ReachIng - Ing In the End. Pierce , Neb. , Nov. 27. Special to The News : Just before midnight last night , contest proceedings were filed with the clerk of the district court against the election of 13. D. Pulclfcr , republican , as assessor , and against J. II. McDonald , democrat , as county cleric , and Albert Blehylo , democrat , as county commissioner. As a consequence quence the political pot Is boiling over this morning , and the town Is In an uproar. The democrats held a rod hot meet ing last night at which It was deter mined , after considerable discussion , to bring contest proceedings against the seating of D. Pulcifer , who was elected county assessor by a majority of only one vote. In the meantime , the republicans learned of the proposed movement , and when the democrats were ready to file proceedings , they found ropub llcans on hand to meet their efforts with counter contests , filings being made against McDonald and Bleyhle. The cases are brought In the names of the defeated candidates , Gns Ller- man contesting the election of Pulci fer , L. P. Tonner contesting that of McDonald and W. A. Preston that of Albert Blehyle. The limit of the tlmo In which con tests could be filed expired at mid night. The anti-treat law will be a conspic uous feature of the trial of these cases , which will not bo heard for some days yot. It is predicted here that when the cases are gone Into and the provi sions of the law are rigidly applied , the results may bo far reaching and that many office holders may be dis qualified. There Is already much hard feeling over the contests and It Is feared the tension will run high before the cases are finally adjusted In the courts.

"I believe this Is the first united action toward putting an end to the present condition of things. We have plenty of money and couli pay off every depositor , but , of course , wo could not presume to resume cash rmvments here while the rest of tha country still paid In paper. But go largo Is our supply of cash that we could go on from now to Dec. 1 , as I have said , without help from Chicago if wo were assured that on that date Chicago would resume payments. There is no part of the country so prosperous and so healthy as wo. " SHUMWAY ISJJECLARED : SANE Nearly Half Hundred Witnesses BN- amlned and Trial Continues. Beatrice , Neb. , Nov. 25.

PREMIUM ON CURRBNCY SLUMPS AT NEW YORK REACTION 13 ALREADY FELT Issue of Treaspry Certificates Has Had Good Effect Upon Finances ol Entire Country Illinois Congress man Criticises Note Issue. 'igton , Nov. 20. The oommu DlcatlOi. . . which came to the trcauur } department approving the financial policy adopted by the president and Secretary Cortelyou and tha aubscrlp tlous which wore received for tin 1'aiianm bonds and one year cortif cates were the subject of dlscusstor at the meeting of the cabinet , and af forded general gratification. While details regarding subscriptions are nol yet being made public , It seems to be the feeling at the treasury that boti loans will be over subscribed , as was the case with the popular loan ol $100,000,000 issued by the Cleveland administration in 1895. The decline in the stock market Is regarded as only a symptom of hesitation until the effect ot the failure or success of the measures are proved by the opoulni of the bids. The premium on currency , whlct has been maintained at about 3 pei cent since the hoarding of money began gan a few weeks ago , has begun te diminish. Loans of currency wen made in New York at rates ranging as low as Hfc per cent. Bankers re ported that the premium in a numboi of Interior cities was either mucl reduced or had disappeared. The ac tlon was attributed chiefly to the a ? rangement for Issuing treasury cortll Icates and canal bonds. Engagements of gold abroad for 1m portatlon to relieve the flnancla stringency In the United States an nearlng a total of $75,000,000. The possibility that the issue of th < one-year certificates will be crltlclsec In congress in much the same ipannei cs the sale of bonds to the Morgai byndlcate to protect the gold reservt In 1895 Is attracting some attention The fact that a Republican rnembe of the house committee on banking Prince of Illinois , was quoted as de clarlug the Issue "not justifiable undo existing conditions , " Is considered : symptom of the attitude which may b < taken by a few members of congress The criticism of President Cleveland1 ! measures In 1895 went so far that i committee was appointed to invest ! gate the contract with J. P. Morgan & Co. A certain part of the criticism a that time was directed against the ex elusive nature of the contract am this criticism will not llo against thi present offer of securities to the pub lie , unless something occurs In mak Ing the award which may afford an op portunlty to the critics of the admin tstration.
