JANUARY ID WAS THE DATE
ORIGINALLY FIXED.
OUT IT WILL BE MANY WEEKS
Better Progress Has Been Made
Lately and the Board Is Encouraged
to Believe That the Building Will Be
Complete By April ,
By the provision of the contract the
new high school building was to have
boon completed today nnd ready to
bo turned over to the board of educa
tion for use when the second semester
of the school year begins next Monday.
But January 15 , the contract date for
completion , finds the building many
weeks from being finished.
This much Is to bo said , however :
recent progress on the building has
been very satisfactory. The roof Is
virtually on. The hollers are about
net and the pipes ore being placed.
Heat can bo turned on the building In
about two weeks. A largo amount of
lathing has been done. Most of the
delay from now on will be connected
with the plastering.
Teachers over north Nebraska are
patching the new high school building
with Interest as It is hoped that many
of the sessions of the north Nebraska
association will bo held In the new
building if It Is finished by April.

High School Notes.
Last week at the high school was
spent in reviews preparatory to the
semester examinations which take
place on Wednesday , Thursday and
Friday of this week. Pupils who rank
over ninety per cent In deportment arc
excused from all examinations in
studies in which they have secured
grades better than ninety per cent.
At ono time the rule existed that for
every five points that a pupil fell below
the ninety per cent mark In deport
ment the pupil had to take one of the
examinations from which he would
have been otherwise exempt.
The next class party of the senior
class will be at the homo of Ralph Lul-
kart. On Friday night the class was
very pleasantly entertained by Miss
Edna Loucks at a leap year party. Re
freshments were served during the .
evening In the class colors , pink and I
green. This party was the fifth of
the scries.
Miss Hattle Adams , a junior , has re
turned to school.
A. Morrison , superintendent of con
struction of the new high school build
ing , recently told one of the senior
boys that the earliest date they could
hope for the completion of the build
ing at the present rate of progress was
July. Members of the senior class are
very anxious to get into the new bluld-
ing before they leave the high school.
CENTERING ONJIBRARY SITE
The People of Norfolk Generally De
sire Old Gerecke Corner.
Public sentiment among Norfolk
people Is rapidly centering upon the
old Gerecke or Howe Egbert property ,
directly south across the street from
the postoffice , as the Ideal site for the
new $10,000 Carnegie library build
ing which is to be erected here.
It Is pointed out on all sides that
the postofllce is the central point of
the town the point at which people
most congregate. Therefore , it Is fur
ther urged , the library located directly
across the street from the postofflce
would afford the greatest benefit to
the greatest number of people.
It Is argued that people going for
their mail could drop conveniently In
to the library to enjoy its advantages.
The site which will bring the great
est use of the library to the greatest
number of Norfolk people Is the site
that Is needed. The matter of a few
dollars one way or another Is Insignifi
cant when the future is taken Into
consideration.
The city is to spend $1,000 per year
In maintaining the library , and natural
ly the people want the greatest good
from their money.
If the library board would select
one site upon which to solicit sub
scriptions , rather than two , the
matter of raising funds for the pur
chase of the site would be materially
simplified. With two In the field , a
great deal of confusion Is bound to
arise to more or less complicate the
matter.
'ANOTHER SITE IS OFFERED.
Corner East of Postoffice Offered for
$2,300.
Another site has been offered to the
library board. This is a corner one
block east of the postofflce building ,
CGxl76 feet , and It Is offered by J.
W. Ransom for $2,300. The lot Is No.
1 , block 4 , Mathewson's addition to
Norfolk. On the lot stands a sixteen-
room house equipped with city water ,
gas and surrounded by cement walks.
"I consider this site fully equal to
the slto on Fifth street , and it is of
fered for less money , " said Mr. Ran
som. "If it Is cheapness that Is wanted ,
this is the cite. "
Mr. Ransom also said that he real -
izes , as does everybody , that the
logical nnd Ideal site the only real
site IH the lot directly south across
the street from the postofllco.

"Editor News : I have just read the
article In The News of this date head
ed "Sixty-two Letters in Name. " Mr.
Lindloff of Clinton , la. , will have to
guess again before he can claim the
longest name even in Iowa as my only
sister , who was born In Davies county ,
Iowa , forty years ago , can I think , go
him several better so far as letters
are concerned.
"I herein hand you her name in full ,
sixty-six letters , beginning with

Amanda Caroline Sarah Ann Rosaline
Losey and now Beckley by Marriage.

"IN GOD WE TRUST. "
The Motto Which Produced First Love
for the New Country.
The motto "In God We Trust , " plac
ed on an American coin may as Presi
dent Roosevelt says be dangerously
close to sacrilege and without warrant
in law but Henry Klosuer when he
came to America from across the seas
forty-two years ago , found a message
in the old motto. It told him that there
was a common God , whose people
spread across the sea , and from that
motto on a coin came his first feeling
of love for the new land.
Henry Klosner now is a prosper
ous farmer living near Bloomfleld. He
still owns a farm north of Prospect
hill , where he formerly lived. The
dropping of the coin motto recently
brought old memories to his mind and
he wrote this interesting letter to his
friend , L. M. Gaylord :
"Your kind letter received and I am
glad that you are better , and around
again. We are all well and today I
think that I will tell you a little of
my own story.
"It was forty-two years ago today
that I landed in New York. I left
Breman , Germany , the fourteenth of
October , 18G5 , on an old sail ship ,
Corlolan and got to New York on Jan
uary 13 , 18GG. But I did not arrive
on the same ship as we were ship
wrecked. We had a fearful storm and
after six weeks voyage wo had to
return to Queenstown , where wo wait
ed a week for a steamship from Liver
pool. We boarded the second ship on
Christmas morning and arrived safe
In New York on Saturday , January 13 ,
1SGG.
"Here I want to say that the first
$5 I saw was given to me by my sis
ter's little five year old daughter. I
asked my sister what the little in
scription on the coin meant. She said
"Wlr Vertraun In Goot , " or "In God
We Trust. " That made a deep im
presslon on me , that after such a fear
ful trip I had arrived lu a new land
where they also believed in God. It
made me feel more to love the now
land.
"Now I see last week In the Norfolk
Dally News that the beautiful motto
tom
"In God Wo Trust , " Is omitted from
the new coins. It Is something wo ,
can not be proud of.
"Yours very truly ,
"Henry Klosner. "

MAY BECOME MISTRESS OF AN
ENGLISH ESTATE.
STORY OF A NORFOLK WOMAN
Edna Ingham Has But to Establish
Her Identity to Share In the Fortune
of Her Grand Father , John Ingham ,
Gentleman.
Miss Nellie Ingham , who has been
known In Norfolk as "Edna Ingham , "
may become the mistress of a noble
English estate. Miss Ingham has made
her home lu Norfolk for about four
years.
Edna Inghnm Is heiress to a share
In a fortune of $100,000 In England.
She has commenced an action in the
district court at Sioux City to establish
her Identity.
In 1885 John Ingham , an English
man , came to Sioux City with a child
about two years old. He claimed to
be in straightened circumstances and
a home for his infant daughter was
found with Louis Paggar , a farmer
living near Sioux City. The father re
mained In Sioux City for a short time
working in the St. Elmo hotel , leaving
little information about his little
daughter , Nellie. From the little in
formation that was elicited the man
gave the impression that the child's
mother had died in England.
Miss Ingham lived with the Paggars
until she was about eighteen years of
age. She left shortly afterwards to
make her own living. She located at
Bancroft and is said to have gone un
der the name of Paggar.
A short time ago Judge A. Van
Waganen of Sioux City received a let
ter from a firm of solicitors In Liver
pool , Eng. , asking him to advertise
for the daughter of John Ingham , jr. ,
of Fullwood , Lancaster , England.
Judge Van Waganen took up the
search with the result that he located
Miss Ingham in Norfolk.
After locating the probable heiress
a letter was received from a Mrs. Som
ers , who with her husband Is now run
ning an automobile roadhouse a short
distance out of London , and she stated
that she was the former wife of Ing
ham and mother of the girl. It devel
oped that Ingham , jr. , had borrowed
quite heavily from the trustees of the
estate of his father and the 20,000
had diminished considerably by reason
of the loans.
Miss Ingham Is said to have In her
possession a photograph taken when
she was a child , nnd this will be ono
of the important factors in proving her
identity. The witnesses who will be
summoned In the case will be askec
to Identify the photograph as that of
Miss Ingham. They are Henry Metz
Joseph Paggar , Julia Fachman and Mr
and Mrs. Tom Waddington. A list of
questions has been prepared that wll
be propounded to them by Fred W
Sargent , who has been appointed spe
cial examiner by the court. The date
of the hearing has not yet been set
Little definite concerning the Eng
lish connections is of course known a
this time. The letter from the Eng
lish solicitors referred to the estate
"of John Ingham , gentleman , of Full
wood in Fullwood county In Lancaster
England. " After Miss Ingham's fa
ther left Sioux City word was received
that he had been working on a rail
road In the west and later news came
of his death.
Miss Ingham has been In Sioux CItj
in connection with the court action
brought. She left Sioux City for Oma
ha and will return to Norfolk Frldaj
evening.
Edna Ingham is a young woman o
twenty-three , tall , slender and of ra
ther striking appearance. She came
to Norfolk about four years ago. Fo
two years her attorneys have beei
working on the clue to her English
claims.
Edna Ingham was one of the wit
nesses to the murder of Frank Jarme
on May 1 , 1907.
It is also something of a coincident
that the granddaughter of "John Ing
ham , gentleman , " was ono of the wit
nesses to the double Nethaway traged
a few weeks ago when Valley Netha
way shot his wife in a crowded coacl
Miss Ingham was one of the passen

Captain Fisher of Chadron notified
Attorney General Thompson that he
would accept the evidence now secur
ed In his case as a basis for the pro
ceedings instituted against him for
disbarment. When the supreme court
overruled Capt. Fisher's motion to
dismiss the case against him it di
rected the attorney general to prepare
for a formal suit against Capt. Fisher
for disbarment. It was left to the
discretion of the defendant whether
the evidence now secured be used or
wliether witnesses" should again be
summoned. Capt. Fisher's action will
probably save considerable time. The
hearing of the case had been post
poned until February G.
Charging that John Thamsen , a Nor
folk shoemaker , was the father of her
unborn child and that he had failed to
keep his promises of marriage , Miss
Hannah Perry came up from Madison
Wednesday to swear out a warrant
against Thamsen. Thamsen was
brought before Justice Lamber dur
ing the morning and did not deny the
charge. The proceedings were sus
pended , however , when Thamsen
agreed to marry the Perry girl. The
two left for Madison during the day
with the Intention of being married
during the afternoon. Miss Perry is
a girl of about nineteen years and has
been in America about six months.
Thamsen also came from Germany
but has been In America about a year.
