COMPROMISES BY LEAVING TOWN Agreed That the Charges Against Her Shall Not be Pushed If She Goes Away From Norfolk and Stays Away. Don't Want to Fight Now. [ From Friday's Dally. ] Securing at last thu $1,000 bond for her release from the county jull , Mrs. If. P. llnrnhnrt took tlio first train to Norfolk Thursday night and was Im mediately reurrcsted by the. Norfolk police ns she stepped from the Madl- BOH train. Protesting , crying and ecreamlng Mrs. Dnnihnrt was taken lo tlio city Jnll where oho spent the night. Mrs. Uarnharl's second arrests came tinder a peace warrant sworn out by ex-Mayor John Friday before Justice ILainbert. The warrant was Issued last month and has been held In case Mrs. Barnhart should give ball. For iner Mayor Friday and a number of other Norfolk people were said to have been threatened by Mrs. Darnhurt be fore and after she shot her husband and the peace warrant proceedings \veie decided on ns a matter of protcc tlon against the woman who had al ready demonstrated her knowledge of the vise of a revolver. Mrs. Unrnhnrl's release from the county jail came about two weeks af ter her arrest on the charge of shoot ing her husband. It was on Christmas night that Mrs. Uarnliart put a bullet Into her husband's knee. The charge ngalnst her was shooting to wound. Clark Antlsdcl , a Madison butcher , signed as surety of the $1,000 bond that gave Mrs. Barnhart liberty Thurs day night. Mr. Antlsdel's wife and Mrs Barnhart knew each other when girls and It was this girlhood acquaint ance that got the bond. The hours of liberty were short. The Norfolk police were notified and were nt the depot when Mrs. Barnhart alighted. Mrs. Barnhart was startled at her arrest and demanded to bo taken to the Oxnard. She remonstrated and her cries created a disturbance. She was taken to the city hall In a cab. A number of startling statements were made by Mrs. Barnhart at the city hall after her arrest. She told County Attorney Koenlg stein that Barnhart did as much shoot ing as she did In the Christmas night episode and wanted to know why he wasn't arrested. She said that her daughter was dy ing of pneumonia at Crelghton and that she was needed there. She also told that Barnhart had been down to Madison and that he was go ing to Omaha to take a drink-cure. The county attorney did not put any faith In her stories although the chief of police was Inclined to listen with more credence to what she said. Friday morning after a night In jail Mrs. Barnhart said that she was going to get a lawyer and call for a jury trial. "I want this peace warrant case before Justice Elscley and not Jus tice Lambert , " Mrs. Barnhart said , think the old soul up stairs will treat me fair. And I want a lawyer and a jury. I Intend to be fair and If the : would let me I would do what I could to adjust my debts and leave town It wasn't right that they didn't tel me about this second arrest. " Mrs. Barnhart was served with no tices In two justice court suits after she had been arrested. It has been understood that Count } Attorney Koenigsteln has been willing to compromise the case against Mrs Barnhart. The proposition preparet for Mrs. Barnhart carried on her part an agreement to leave this vlclnlt > and to remain away from Norfolk and this part of north Nebraska. Will some agreement like this County At torney Kocnlgstein said Friday that lie would agree to suspend the crlrn inal proceedings as well as the peace warrant cases as long as the woman remained away. H. F. Barnhart was In Lynch yester day. He was expected In Norfolk dur ing the day and It was understood that he Intended to go to Omaha to have the troublesome bullet removed from bis knee. To protect the Madison butcher Mrs Barnhart gave a deed to a farm In Antelope county. With her husband's signature missing , however , the deed was held to be of no practical value. The county attorney's office has been given several peace warrant cos es to serve against Mrs. Barnhart if necessary and it has seemed assured that It would be Impossible for her to remain at liberty in Norfolk. , AGREED TO LEAVE TOWN. Mrs. Barnhart Promises to Go Away and Stay Away. By arranging to go to Crelghton on the noon train to see her daughter and by agreeing to remain away from Nor folk in the future , Mrs. H. P. Barn- hart secured the right to leave Nor folk Friday. At 11 o'clock Friday morning she appeared before Judge Lambert with icr attorney , M. D. Tyler. By an agreement with County Attorney Jack tocnlgstoln the peace warrant against lor WUR held In abeyance on the prom- so to leave town. Hut It was provld- d that Mm. Barnhart should bo under > ollco control while in Norfolk and hat If at any time business required icr presence hero that she should lotlfy tlio ofttcors of her coming and > u met at the depot by the chief. "Why , I never said that I was going o shoot Chief of Police Flyim ; I mere- y Hald that I would like to have him lone Into sausage. " Mrs. Barnhart In UBlleo court Friday denied that any > f lier Intentions were any longer warlike. She did not specify what dud of sausage she wanted Chief 'lynn turned Into. Mrs. Barnhart Is sntd to have threat ened to shoot six or seven people In Norfolk. She was taxed with this In court Friday. She said her shooting s over.

AGAINST THEJARCELS POST Commercial Travelers Protest Agalsnl the Proposed BIN. At a meeting of the state board of directors of the Nebraska division Travelers Protective Association of America , the following resolution was adopted against the proposed "Par eels Post" bill of Postmaster General Meyer : Whereas , The postmaster general has recommended to congress another form of parcels post , and Whereas , The passage of this meas ure would eliminate many commercial travelers by decreasing the business of many country merchants , thereby Inflicting an Injury to the greatest commercial interests of this country , as It allows the consumer to purchase in larger quantity direct from the cat alogue houses , and Whereas , To the catalogue houses the consumer has to send cash , where with the country merchant he can ex change farm products as a medium of exchange , It stands without argument that the small store will suffer , as the Increased weight which the post office department will carry by mall will al low the catalogue houses to reach the consumer with bigger "socalled bar gains" thus taking business away from the country merchant ; therefore bo It Resolved , That wo believe It would bo tremendously detrimental to the American people to even seriously con- sldcr the passing of such a business wrecking proposition.

BIG BRIDGE HAS BEEN EXAMINED Inspection of the Approaches In South Sioux City May Have Significance. A Quick Round Trip From Sioux City to O'Neill. Sioux City , la. . Jan. 11. A revival of the recent rumor that tlio Chicago , Hurllngton and Qulncy Railroad com pany had determined to extend Its O'Neill line this year was aroused by a visit to O'Neill made In a special train by Daniel Wlllnrd ot Chicago , second vice-president ; G. W. Holdrego of Omaha , general manager of tlio lines west of the Missouri river ; II. E. Hyrnm. general superintendent of the Nebraska district , and E. Blgnell , superintendent of the Lincoln division , of which the O'Neill line Is n part. The officials first made an Inspection of the South Sioux City approaches to the combination bridge , and It was said that engineers who accompanied them made an Inspection of the bridge Itself. A. Jackson , resident engineer for the Great Northern railway , with headquarters In St. Paul , and two as sistants wore In Sioux City yesterday , but Mr. Jackson said lie had no knowl edge of Mr. Wlllard's presence on the other side of the river.

Mohler Elected Director of Oma ha Commercial Club. Omaha , Neb. , Jan. 11. For the first time In the history of the Omaha Com mercial club n high railroad olllclnl has been given a place on the board of directors and seems likely to be come a member of the executive com mittee. This man is A. L. Mohler , vice president and general manager of the Union Pacific railroad company. It haf > been an unwritten law with the commercial club that railroad men were not eligible to membership on the committees nor as officers of the club , but Mr. Mohler's election Is evi deuce of the broadening policy of the club and the cooperation which seems to be developing between business men and railroad officials for a greater Omaha. Mr. Mohler has been show ing unusual Interest In the welfare of Omaha according to members who piled up the voles for him. Just 240 votes were cast nt the tlon held Wednesday to select sixty directors from a list of 120 nominees. This Is more than In previous years and shows the Interest taken In the affairs of the club. All branches of the business inter ests of Omaha were represented In the list of 120 candidates , and of the sixty elected the jobbing and wholesale in terests are in the majority , with good ly sprinkling of other business Inter ests , both wholesale and retail , bank ing , professional , etc. , making up the balance. From the number of carload ship pers elected in the new directorate It is very nearly a foregone conclusion that the control of the transportation committee will be In their hands , thus assuring more work In the future In the matter of railroad rate adjust ments. VIEWS OF TRAFFIC MEN. Different Ideas of Future Conditions Are Expressed. Views of railroad officials concernIng - Ing the traffic outlook for the new cal endar year are quite extensively call vassed by the Railroad Gazette of New York , which prints the substance of replies , received without giving names. Of 42 answers to questions received , 1C are very optimistic , 14 Indicated a belief that a more or less protracted period of mild depression is ahead , while 12 anticipate severe depression. These replies cover all sections of the country and include Canada. Many of them of course complain of state rate law restrictions and all seem to note a recent sharp decline In general traf fic volume as a result of the panic. The free movement of the crops to market has been checked by "the ab solute Inability to secure from banks the money with which to move the crops , " as one western official express es It. Some of the answers , while roc ognlzlng the certainty of quite a pro longed reduction in traffic volume , speak of such offsetting advantages as easier labor conditions and lower pric es of material , which may result In ac tual Improvement in net earnings ns compared with results for the past few months , when .Increase In operat ing expenses has shown a tendency to overtake and far out run any Increase In gross earnings. NEED 2,000 , TELEGRAPHERS. Nebraska Railroads Are In Need of Many New Keymen. The railroads of Nebraska want 2- 000 telegraph operators by March 4 , and are straining every effort to fill that number of positions which are created by the law passed by the last legislature which reduces the working hours of telegraphers. Railroads are doing a great amount of hustling to find enough operators to fill the post tlons that will be open , and telegraph schools have been notified that all capable students will bo accepted , naming a minimum of $50 a month. Telegraphers profess to believe that what was lost by the recent strike of : ho commercial telegraphers will bo gained by the requirements of new men under the provisions of this Xo liraska law. One railroad has run ltd train wires to a large telegraph school In Omaha , with a view to assisting In \\ork of teaching the art to new men. The Union Pacific and Burlington roads are practically affected by the now law , The former has a maximum of about $ $ . " > and even at thosu salaries Is finding great difficulty In filling the losltloiis they will have to offer to olegraphi'i-s In March. Rate Not Abandoned , Chicago , Jan. II , An announcement iy the Erlo yesterday that there would io a pofllpoiiomont In putting Into ef fect the reduced passenger rates con templated between Chicago and New York was the cause of the rumor that the pioject had been abandoned. It was expected that tlio Erie's now tariff would bo filed at Washington on Jan nary 10 , and would go Into effect Feb ruary 10 , and that It would provide for a first-class rate to New York of $12 , and a second-class rate of $8. The passenger representatives of tlio Erlo stated yesterday that the postpone ment was due to the fact that they had been unable to got the now rates quoted In the Chicago rate shoot , ex cept by supplement , announcing the Erie's Independent tariff and that they were afraid the western lines would not use ( heir proposed rates as basing rates. They therefore preferred to wait until the ) could get the ratcu quoted In the late sheet. DEATH ANGEL MAKES FREQUENT CALLS IN BATTLE CREEK. ALL PROMINENT IN THECOUNTY Mrs. J. S. Craig , W. W.
