part to find something to criticize

finished a directory at Kearney , seems
to have pleased all the papers wltl
his work. The Kearney Democrat , the
last of the three Kearney papers to
mention the directory , says :
"Kearney has a new city directory
which has been compiled and pub
lished by Frank S. Robinson , and It is
Just the most complete directory ever
gotten out In this city. The book con
tains all the useful Information about
churches , lodges , societies and city
officials' names. The directory Is a
credit to Mr. Robinson's efforts and
The Democrat recommends him to oth
er cities where he may contemplate
compiling directories. He Is a very
pleasing young gentleman , careful In
his work and honest In his efforts. "

Norfolk Friday night and the work ol
compiling a directory for this city will

jail.So
So he was charged with the mali
cious destruction of property. Twen
ty days at Madison was what he drew
for the window smashing. Ho was
taken over to Madison Thursday after
noon.
This isn't Ilundt's first experience
In the county jail. A year ago he was
arrested for stabbing a man In the
jaw. It was In a Battle Creek saloon
fight. Hundt broke off his knife In
another man's jaw. Physicians ex
tracted the knife blade while Hundt
was hustled over to Madison. He was
fined ? 100.
DOME OF WHITEjiOUSE VISIBLE
Trainmaster Mount Saw a Distinct Il
lusion Thursday Morning ,
Thursday morning the dome of the
white house was outlined in the east
ern sky.
Docs it mean that the white house
is coming westward ? Does the facl
that the outline of the white house
dome discerned In Norfolk foreshad
ows the election of a Nebraskan to
the presidency ? Did destiny show her
hand Thursday mornln ? Did the sign
In the morning sky read Bryan's way
clear to Washington ?
Or was It simply a hint that William
J.'s white house dreams are mere Il
lusions , frosty morning visions ?
The Norfolk man who saw the white
house dome outlined In the eastenl
sky was Trainmaster E. O. Mount. It
was just as the sun broke above the
clouds. What particularly Impressed
Mr. Mount was the peculiar dome-like
shape that the sun took on in the
cloud-wrapped sky. The lower parl
of the dome was , moreover , sketched
In the clouds.
Mr. Mount's evidence Is of course
authoritative.
Not being a politician Mr. Mount
was only Impressed with the beauty
of the scene , which he says he can
not find words to portray.
But Norfolk politicians will want to
know what the Washington cupola
moans by chasing around In Nebras
ka. What does It mean anyway ?
Working on Roads.
Tllden Citizen : Commissioners John
Malone and Burr Taft were In town
on Tuesday with a view of ascertain
ing what road work Is necessary In
this part of the county. Under the
plan which these officers have adopt
ed , the county road tax Is spent In the
district to which it belongs. Formerly
the money was used according to the
caprice or partiality of each commis
sioner , and as often as not the road
tax paid by farmers In the western part
of the county would be utilized In
making Improvements on the high
ways near Norfolk or Madison.
Messrs. Malone and Taft , however ,
are following the letter of the law In
the matter , with the result that all
parts of the county are being treated
with absolute fairness.
