Ho also pleaded for the protection of the young men. Secretary Bnlley then took charge of the meeting. Ho reviewed the con vention and said that it had been a grand , big success and that the state committee had been justified In send ing it to Norfolk. Ho paid special tribute to Dr. Jenkins as a bible teach er. The Norfolk convention , Mr. Bai ley said , was the first Nebraska con- ventlon to be attended by Indian delegates - egates , referring to live delegates from the Santee agency. General Secretary Wade of the Omaha association and Rev. John L. Stlne , pastor of the Christian church , made short talks. The delegates in the convention then stood up and joined hands In several great chains around the house. At Secretary Bailey's ' request the dele- gales were joined by most of the men In the house , all singing "The Tie That Binds. " The convention verse for Ihe coming year , "For Ye Serve the Lord Christ , " was announced. President Wallace in a few eloquent words de clared the convention adjourned. Sunday morning Norfolk pulpits were filled by prominent convention delegates , the various speakers filling the assignments announced Saturday. At 10 a. m. a special evangelical meet ing of the delegates at Marquardt hall was conducted by A. J. Elliott. There were twelve decisions at the hall while . eight were announced at the close of the afternoon lecture at the Audlto rium. In addition to the men's meeting Sunday afternoon T. C. Marsh of Fre- mout conducted a bobys' meeting at the Baptist church while President ' Wallace presided at a women's meetIng - Ing at the First Methodist church. At the latter church 250 women pledged themselves towards a Norfolk Y. M. C. A. movement. A committee of seven women , with Mrs. M. A. McMlllen as chairman , were selected to represent . the women In any movement started. This committee will meet during the week. Saturday night an Auditorium full of people saw a cross section of Y. M. C. A. work , supplemented with an ex hibition by ten young men from the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium working under Physical Director Peutland. It was a meeting Interspersed with college songs sung by the college delegates in the Auditorium. The first part of the practical pro gram presented a young man from Nor folk going to Omaha and calling at the Omaha Y. M. C. A. He was given a warm welcome , plenty of Informa tion and then invited to a little social meeting in one of the parlors where a score of young men were singing over some typical vaudeville stunts put on by Jorgensen of Lincoln , Kempton of Grand Island , Hughes of Chadron and Haight of Crete. The gymnasium work of the Omaha team won Norfolk's heart. It was the best exhibition of Its kind ever given here and In merit was above profes sional work. The wrestling parody took In Norfolk where wrestling has been something of a fad at different times. Most of the Y. M. C. A. delegates remained in Norfolk until Monday morning. Saturday Afternoon. The address Saturday afternoon by Arthur J. Elliott , international stud ent's secretary was a direct appeal to the college man. He said that college - lego men are needed to carry on the work of college secretaries ; that the college secretaries have a work that no city secretary man , of no college experience can appreciate , a work that can alone bo handled by able college - lego men. "Men , " ho said "of consecration cration ; men of ability and men of ) power. Wo want men who are will Ing to give their lives to the work of > saving their fellow mei ; not men who arc merely looking for a "Job" and all such men now In the college work should bo 'kicked' out. " Ho cited Instances of great good be Ing accomplished among college men "In Yale. " he said , "with the excep-1 ! lion t of live , every man In the soplio- more class Is a member of a hlhlo study class. The college fraternity men are not the hardest kind of fol lows to work among and In fact I be- llevo they arc the easiest , because they nro well organized. "Faculty men are taking an Inter est In the work that is amazing and they often assist In the organization of students' bible classes. " | Steven Jones , a member of the group ; > f five Indians from the Santee reser vation , gave a thirty mlnuto address Saturday afternoon on the work of civilization and chrlstlaulzatlon of the American Indian. Mr. Jones is a foung man.of considerable ability. Ho was educated In the Sprlngllcld , Mass. , Young Men's Christian association training school and has carried on a remarkable work of evangelization imong his own people. He criticised ho work of the United States governn no nt In its work to educate the In- dlan. He said that too much of this , vork had been done by force and that .hat Is not the proper treatment of the Indian ; he Is too Independent , His Idea , therefore was that the Indian [ must bo reached and educated through the efforts of a religious organization and he knew of no better such an or- ; anlzatlon than the Young Men's /hrlstlan association. It was voted In the Saturday after noon session to make the Nebraska Young Men's Christian association a member of the Western conference of he Young Men's Christian associations thus transferring Its membership from the Geneva conference. This will mean that the delegates from the Ne braska colleges and university will next summer participate In the sum mer students' convention at Cascade , Colorado , Instead of at Lake Geneva. The Nebraska colleges and universi ties sent a total of fifty men to last summer's conference but are this year planning to send twice that number to the western conference which will be held during the second week of June. On a motion made In Saturday af ternoon's session , a committee will bo appointed to investigate the proposal of a state cncamptmcnt on the Blue river near Crete , at the Invitation of Nebraska state association but Is meeting with popular favor. . A unique feature of assoclallon men's enterprise was their "street service" which followed the regular session of Saturday afternoon. The prime purpose of this service was to let the people of Norfolk know that there is a Young Men's Christian as sociation convention In their city. The association men may , or may not have lost sight of the fact that this has been pretty generally known by people In Norfolk and vicinity , as has been at tested by their Interest , but they have a way of wanting to be sure of a good thing and their "street service" was to make sure of this fact. COUNCILMAN MARRIED. E. B. Kauffman and Miss Kate Roller Quietly Married. E. B. Kauffman , a prominent Nor-1 folk business man , and councilman from the Second word , and Miss Kate . Roller , a well known young lady of Norfolk , were married Sunday evening at the Norfolk church of the Sacred Heart , Father Thomas Walsh officiat ing.

Mr. Kauffman and Miss Roller succeeded In taking their many Norfolk friends by surprise. Entertains Neighbors.

Big Money Tempts Governor Johnson to Forsake Political Came. Minneapolis , Minn. , Feb. 17. Min nesota democrats want John A. John son to run for a third term as gover nor , but they have a hard argument to meet. The offer Is open by which Governor Johnson may go from the governor's olllco direct Into the na tional lecture field , on a contract as suring him an income of $15,000 to $20,000 a year. His salary as governor Is $7,500 with demands that make it hardly better than a bare living sal ary. ary.Will Will the lure of the lyceum gold pre vail , or the siren voices of friends , now holding ofllce by the governor's grace and relying on him alone for the ex tension of their halcyon days ? The siren calls are persuasive , but the governor is obdurate. At this time it is believed , he fully Intends to re fuse renomiuatlon and run for no of fice , but follow the platform road to wealth like Bryan , La Follette , Cum mins and other statesman orators. He is soft-hearted and hates to disappoint his friends , but he feels that having given democracy four years at the pub lic crib ho has about done his duty , and has a right to consult his personal welfare. Lecture bureaus have been angling for Johnson for a long time. Had he been willing to leave his olllco for a few weeks at a time he could have made more money in the last year by lecturing than his salarj as governor amounts to.

North Nebraska railroad men nro passim ; through another winter with , the ' snow plow an unknown quantity. There has been no trouble with snow al all on the western lines of the Northwestern alw western , the only train delays duo to the weather resulting from trouble with Iowa connections where n snow llury interferred with traffic on one or ] two occasions. The Western Pacific railroad , which leads [ all railroads In the use of elec tric motive power , has decided to equip Us entire system with electric engines. Electric motive power will be used on the entire line for haulIng - Ing both freight and passenger trains. It is said the Increased capacity of power for hauling loads over the mountains will be 75 per cent. There Is u steady stock movement through Norfolk Just now that Is help ing to swell the volume of east bound traffic. From ninety lo a hundred cars of stock arc being handled each day ; by this division of the Northwest ern. Of these cars at least seventy each : day originate west of Norfolk and pass through this city. The freight movement west Is still light. The Northwestern experienced a spell of prosperity Saturday morning. The Bonesteel train came into Fre mont in a crowded condition and after unloading at that point there were still one hundred and thirty-seven passen gers and another passenger coach was added for the accommodation of the travelers. For some time the train has only carried two passenger coaches and they have been sufficient to handle the traffic until Saturday. Railroads have expended less money for supplies since Inaugurating a pol icy of retrenchment last summer than ever before. As a result it is pre dicted in some quarters that an unus ually large sum will bo required to meet the demands of the various div isions. It is believed that with an in creasing demand for supplies some of the roads will spend moro In the next six months ; than ever before in the same length of time. The supplies will Include all kinds of machinery and material to be used in the yards , shops and terminals. The Chicago , Burlington and Quincy - cy and the Union Pacific railroads ) have been notified by eastern roads that there will be no co-operation in selling reduced hoineseekers * tickets this year. Other western roads will doubtless receive similar communica tions from the Eastern Passenger as sociation. Complicated tariffs owing to the differences in the passenger rate laws of the various states are given as the cause for the refusal , but western officials allege the action Is due to eastern jealousy. The eastern rail roads are said to have adopted the pol Icy of refusing to induce easterners to setlle in the west. PROMINENT NELIGH JURIST IN BOCHE CASE.
