FOREIGNTREES IN NEW ZEALAND
Trees From Other Countries Being
Successfully Cultivated.
Trees' ' from the United States , Eu
rope , and Australia are being sys
tematically Introduced into the native
forests of New Zealand. In the cli
mate of that country trees from al
most anywhere- will thrive , and this
fact is taken advantage of to plant
the most profitable species. Eleven
million larches , oaks , spruces , Doug
las llrs and eucalyptus have been set
la plantations , and vast numbers of
seedlings are coming on in nurseries
These are rapidly growing species
which also make excellent timber.
The reason given for Introducing
foreign trees is that the native trees
of Now Zealand are too slow in growth
Some of them , as the kauri pine , grow
to gigantic slzo and produce excell
ent timber , but it takes from 200
years up to do so. Successful forestry
demands quicker returns.
More rapid changes In animal and
vegetable life are taking place in New
Zealand than almost anywhere else
in the world. The native Polynesian
race Is rapidly disappearing before the
European. The wild animals , native
to the Islands , amount to little in the
contest -with animals brought In ,
many of which now run wild. The
streams are full of American and
European trout , which grow to en
ormous size. The very forests are to
bo replaced , tree by tree , by planting
foreign species as the native woods
disappear.
Now Zealand has one million two
hundred thousand acres of forest , with
two hundred kinds of trees. It Is es
timated that the native forests will
last , at the present rate of cutting ,
lor seventy years. The replacement
will therefore he gradual Hut In the
end , If the Imported trees prove to bo
more valuable economically than the
native OUCH , they will make up the
future forests of the country.
Forestry wan taken up In Now Zea
land over thirty years ago , hut wan
abandoned after a few years. The
reason given for dropping It was that
It coat moiv than It waa worth. After
several years of exploration. It was
generally conceded that the abandon
ment of forestry by the government
was a serious mistake , and It wan
taken up again with renewed energy ,
bridge In safety.
BATTLE ROYAL ON THE NORFOLK
WRESTLING MATCH.
IT WAS A VERY CLOSE CONTEST
Wasem Won After a Close Tussle.
Match Was Lively From the Start
and Finished up Fast and Furious.
"Lucky Bill" Challenges Winner.
In a battle royal on the wrestling
mat at the Auditorium Tuesday night
Oscar Wasem proved a better man
than Jack Downs , middleweight , chain-
plon of Canada. After losing the first
fall In 20:50 : , Oscar Wasem got the
second fall In 11:20 : and the third and
derisive fall In 13:20. :
Nearly an hour of actual wrestling
was afforded. The match was lively
from the start and towards the close
waxed fast and furious. It was not
a fancy match and did not smack of
the exhibition contest. It was In fact
declared to bo the best wrestling
bout ever held in Norfolk and a good
sized house saw It.
Wasem IB a Lincoln wrestler and a
Norfolk favorite. Broad shouldered ,
muscular and deep of chest , he still
falls a little short of Frank notch and
the other top-notehcrs hut In his class
ho need ask no favors. Wasem had
an especial advantage over Downs
In the matter of wind.
"Kid" Jensen of Norfolk rcferend
the contest. The entertainment was
opened with a preliminary between
the IToush brothers. Claude Housh
drew the first fall In two minutes ,
while Ertrlo Housh gathered In the
second and third falls and the match
in nine and five minutes.
The main match early developed
that the two men were evenly match
ed. It required Downs five minutes
and a half to get behind Wasem.
Down on the mat two minutes the
men were up and down again. They
broke and again for five minutes spar
red for an opening1. They went down
again , Downs on top but soon to ex
change places with Wasem for a few
seconds. The men were on their feet
and then for two minutes worked on
the mat. The work fell to Downs who
had held the aggressive all through
the early evening. Both men were
clever but Wasem was beginning to
show confidence. The men were at it
again on the mat , Downs working at
the German's wind. Another tussle
and Downs had Wasem on a bridge
and the Canadian's stock went up.
Downs tried for a hammer lock but
failed. Ho had a head scissor and
then slipped into a straight body hold.
The arch in Wasem's body flattened
out and the shoulders touched. One
of Wasem's arms was locked.
On the next opening Downs got be
hind Wasem In less than two minutes.
Downs got a scissor leg hold on
Wasem. The Gorman turned out of
the hold , almost getting Downs on a
crouch. Again they were on the mat ,
Wasem this time on top and meaning
business. Downs smiles as he wrest
les but Wasem Is always serious. A
few turns 'and Wasem won the fall
with a crouch hold and an arm lock.
The match now became sensational.
The men opened cautiously. There
was applause when Wasem shifted on
top. Twice Heteree Jensen had to
liring the men back on the mat , once
when they rushed against a scene In
a lively skirmish and once when
Wasem went part way over the foot
lights In trying to pull Downs tint on
the mat. The fall was won on a half
Nelson and a crouch. Wasem got his
hold quickly as he let Downs turn.
The match was over. "I guess he
won , " said Downs to the crowd , "I
guess he is a little bit the better-
man. "
Wasem was called for and spoke of
the challenge from "Lucky Bill , " the
Geddls , S. D. , wrestler , to the winner
of the match , the challenge having
been read at the opening of the
match. Wasem said that he was
ready to meet "Lucky Hill. " Wasem
also declared that he was given to
wrestling rather than talking and that
the South Dakota man had only to
Insure a match. This match may he
pulled off In Norfolk.

THE MIND OF THE MOB PROFES
SIONALLY TREATED.
INFLUENCE OVER HIS AUDIENCE
Dr. Vincent of the Chicago University
Advises People to Hold to the Truth
as They See It , and Not Yield to the
Influence of the Speaker.
Visiting statesmen who come to Nor
folk this summer and fall on various
campaigns of education will bo greet
ed with moro critical and more sus
picious audiences than waxed Into en
thusiasm In 1S9C and 1900 and 1904.
Norfolk people who were at the Audi
torium Monday evening were educated
In the arts and devices of the "spell
binder" by Dr. George 13. Vincent ,
whoso lecture on "The Mind of the
Mob" was given as the last number
of the high school lecture course.
Dr. Vincent closed his lecture with
a plea for men and women who hold
to the truth as they see It , who are
loyal to their conscience , who are not
drawn Into irrational "movement , "
who do not borrow all their ideas from
the few people who do the thinking
for their community. He said that
civilization was not swept on by
waves of sentiment but that It was
advanced by slower and more sub
stantial methods.
Sociological phychologlsts , Dr. Vin
cent said , had found a close analogy
between the mind of the mob and the
crowd and the Individual mind under
certain conditions ; also that the lead
er or spellbinder gains ascendancy
over the mob or crowd by exactly the
same methods used in hypnotising the
individual through the various stages
of concentration of attention , loss ol
the sense of personality , loss of the
critical or hard-headed attitude , and
the final or suggestionable stage.
"The spellbinder and the brass band
are Inseparable , " said Dr. Vincent ,
"and crowds must bo turned away If
only in-the morning papers. In the
hall there must be just enough air to
keep the audience awake but not
enough to make it rellective. There
must be the pictures to point to and
'old glory" calling1 up visions of Wash
ington crossing the Delaware and oth
er exploits dear to the school books
and all surrounded by a fringe of
emotional fireworks.
"The spellbinder must know his au
dience. Before he steps upon this
Auditorium stage ho has Inquired of
the local chairman the local church
coloring , the various elements of the
population , the local industries , the
jokes on the local opposition. Then
after the audience has been kept on
edge for a number of minutes he
steps upon the stage with the chair
man.
"He first puts out feelers , the witty
feeler and the humorous feeler. He
tries the witty feeler and if the audi
ence Is responsive he realizes that he
has sharp-minded folks to deal with
and is careful. But if the people , as
Aid says , 'come in by freight'.on the
witty feeler he knows that they will
take on the feeler and that he h'as an
audience of 'good sound American cit
izens' after his own heart.
"His allusions and jokes are all
familiar , made by wholesale for people
ple who consume by wholesale. Ho
Is never dry but is always the word-
painter. Ho flatters the audience and
gets them to think that thej are really
doing the thinking that he is doing for
them. 'You can see that it follows
from the premises that ' the spell
binder says , and though the crowd
nay see it jou may be quite sure that
t does not follow from , the premises
even if there are any premises to fol-
ow from.
"There are three ways to dispose of
the man with the pointed question ,
ct the laugh on htm. Pass his ques
tion on till later and then dodge It.
Or have the fellow 'chucked out. '
"The spellbinder fuses his audience
together by the rapidity of his utter-
mice. He first wins their favor. He
makes his points early. Then ham
mers them down with flight after flight
of oratory. His coherence all the time
is verbal , not logical. His voice is
resonant but monotonous. He turns
more and more to emotionalism as he
feels his control over the audience. "
Dr. Vincent himself had thorough
control over the arts of the lecture
platform and the lecture was very
much appreciated. Being a lecture
the attendance was of course only
fair. Dr. Vincent is a University of
Chicago professor and the lecture ,
while presented in a popular way , was
at the same time of a higher order
than the usual public lecture.
Dr. Vincent remained in Norfolk
Tuesday and in the afternoon ad
dressed the high school students.
A Deficit In Finances.
A deficit of $115 faces the committee
In charge of the high school lecture
course. The course closed with Dr.
Vincent's lecture of Monday evening.
The deficit will fall on about fifty
Norfolk men who guaranteed the fi
nancial success of the course by agree
ing to make up any shortage. Last
year the deficit amounted to only a
few dollars. The future of the course
as a result is rather dubious.

WON'T ATTEND POP CONVENTION
Senator Allen , Although a Populist ,
Will Support Bryan.
"I shall support Mr. Bryan for the
presidency no matter who nominates
him. " said ex-United States Senator
W. V. Allen in an Omaha interview.
"I shall support him for the reason
that I believe him to be the best man
for president and believe that he will
be' nominated and elected.
"I shall not go to the St. Louis con
vention , though'I am still a populist.
I think the populist convention will be
dominated by the southern delegations
and influences , and that Mr. Watson
or some other southern man will be
nominated. So if I do not go to the
convention I will not be bound by It.
"I suppose Mr. Taft will be the
nominee of the republicans. I hope so ,
for the reason that I believe we can
beat him with Mr. Bryan. Yet , after
nil , I think Mr. Roosevelt is still a can-
ilidate and that Secretary Taft is
merely a stalking horse for him. I
believe Roosevelt wants the nomina
tion and that he would take it again
four year ? from now if ho can get It.
"The populist party is now in the
minority in the west. Most of the
members have gone back into the
democratic party , and some intft the
republican party. But there are a few
of us left as a leaven to keep the old
spirit alive.
"My visit here Is on private matters
and I return to Logan , la. , where I am
engaged In the defense of A. H. Sniff ,
editor of the Harrison County News ,
on trial for the murder of M. E.
Brundlge.
INDIAN SPENT NIGHT IN JAIL.
After Trying a War Whoop or Two ,
He Became Guest of Flynn.
Nebraska James Hallowell. an In
dian brave armed with a flask of fire
water and a letter from United States
Senator E. J. Burkett , made merry on
the streets of Norfolk last evening.
Nebraska's memory turned back tow
ards the days when others of his tribe
had roamed over the prairies of Madi
son county and he forgot that the pale
faces , cranky and finicky , had crowded
in with city ordinances , jails and po
licemen.
Nebraska broke the quiet of Nor
folk avenue with a war-whoop. It
sounded well and he tried it again.
Chief Flynn was disturbed. Translat
ed Into Irish the Indian's war-whoop
seemed to foreshadow trouble.
With visions of an Indian uprising
the chief hit down the street but the
chief from the reservation was merely
vocal in his disturbances. The Indian
spent the night In the city jail.
Mr. N. James Hallowell lives in
Macy In Thurston county and he was
on his way for a visit at Genoa. He
took the train for Genoa today.
Nothing makes a married man so
mad as to hear his wife speak of her
hall of his money.

Madison has decided to keep her
"lid. " She decided for the "lid" at a
caucus attended by pretty nearly every
body In the county seat town. Madi
son's "lid" Is personal , nevertheless
actively energetic. The "lid" is Mar
shal Kennedy. Kennedy started to
deport "undesirable citizens" before
Roosevelt over thought of Inventing
the term. Madison is a "no-tramp"
town. It says "twenty-three" and It
doesn't draw the color line. Kennedy
Is moro than a "lid , " he Is an "Issue. "
Ho was "at the caucus. It was Ken
nedy or no-Kennedy. And the Bide
which adopted Kennedy's club as Its
plank carried the caucus with a rush.
So there will bo another year of Ken
nedy.

The Apple Tree.
Walt Mason in the Emporla Gazette :
Come , let us plan the apple tree , hard
by the garden wall ; and though wo
pass away , its shade , on other men
may fall ; and on the long , long sum
mer days , when woodland music Hews ,
the children , on their way from school
may rest beneath its boughs. Per
chance some pilgrim , worn and weak ,
oppressed by doubt and fear , may
haply rest against Its trunk , and find
some comfort here ; until pursuers
coming up , shall find the goods on
him , and put a rope about his neck ,
and string him to a limb. So let us
plant the apple tree ! 'Twill bloom
some other day , when frosts will come
and from it knock the everlasting-
whey.
