Hlaiitoii Picket : Recent political
development In Nebraska seem to
show that Victor Host-water Is having

Stnntou Picket : A few weeks ago
the Register was positive that Judge
Graves would be elected to congress
this fall. Now the democratic organ
maidenly discovers that Senator Latta
IH the only candidate who can defeat
Judge Boyd. What has happened to
cause this sudden slump In Graven
stock ?

against his garden that it la still down
cellar and that It Is really only a near
garden.
The relative running qualities of
the two democratic candidates was a
matter of rather agitated discussion
at the democratic city convention.
Krldaj's majority In 1UOG was less than
It was In lOOH , the Itrst time ho ran
for mayor , but he Increased his total
vote in his second campaign. In 1905

the Auditorium. The Auditorium

ducted. The case was submitted to
the supreme court this week. In the

DEMOCRATS ARE SPECULATING
UPON HOW IT HAPPENED.
FRIDAY LACKED ORGANIZATION
Friday Forces Claim That If They Had
Had a Campaign Manager They
Could Easily Have Won Out at the
Recent City Convention.
"Wanted A campaign manager for
: he Friday boom. " Failure to have
inserted the above want add resulted
according to democratic politicians ,
in the defeat of former Mayor Friday
in the democratic city convention.
Strange as it may seem the Friday
forces lacked organization , not in the
convention , but in the primaries.
The battle of the democratic fac
tions was fought and won and lost in
the Second ward , a careful analysis
of the vote shows. In the uptown
wards the Friday strength was great
est In the Second ward and yet It is
conceded that the Second ward cast a
decisive majority against Friday in
the convention and caused his defeat.
The Friday men were in a decided
majority at the Second ward caucus-
attended by over forty democrats
but they were not organized and the
delegation they elected cast a major
ity of its vote for Durland. Of course
the mayor could not have been renom-
inatcd without his First ward vote
but it was the Second ward that put
the final touch to the Friday boom.
The convention did not ballot by
wards but democratic politicians have
figured the vote out as follows :
Durland Frlda >
I1 irst ward 4 4
Second ward 9 G
Third ward 10 1
Fourth ward 1 10

OSSIDILITY OF NEAR FUTURE
UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
rlR. ISH IS HERE PROSPECTING
ffort Doing Made to Establish a Sys
tem of Wireless Stations In the
Good Towns of Nebraska Startling
But Claimed Practical ,
A wireless telegraph station in Nor-
oik with little commercial . "wireless-
whizzing tlirough the ether of
orth Nebraska at so much per whizz ,
ounds rather modern and progressive
ml Just a little startling , doesn't it ?
Jut It Is a possibility of the visit to
' Ifirfolk of M. H. Ish of Omaha , state
weal agent for the United Wireless
'elegrnph company , is productive of
he results , ho predicts.
Mr. Ish arrived In Norfolk from Val-
ntlno and ono or two other north
Nebraska towns where ho has been
oatlng "wireless" stock. The United
iVIreless Telegraph company , which
ie says Is a merger of the wireless
ompunlcs and which has been In ex-
stonce since February 10 , 1907 , has
ad , according to Mr. Ish , a greater
nland development than is generally
maglned.
Ten or twelve sub-stations he said
ould probably be erected In Nobras-
ca this season. Sub-stations have al
cncly been promised Hastings , Falr-
ury and Broken Bow. Norfolk , ho
bought , would be In line for the
ourth promise if the town wanted it.
The great economy of wireless toleg-
aphy , Mr. Ish said , was in the cheap-
less with which a working plant can
be established and equipped. For
ibout $ . ' 1,000 the company can equip
i station In a city of this size.
There arc two wireless stations In
Nebraska , both at Omaha , and both
ised by the government In its signal
corps Instruction. A commercial sta-
ion is yet to bo established in No
braskn , although Mr. Ish claimed that
ho wireless system was In active
operation in the mining country about
Denver.
The wireless company promises
iocal rates of a cent a word with a
ninlmum charge of ten cents.
Mr. Ish expects to take the matter
of a Norfolk sub-station up with the
Norfolk Commercial club.

NORFOLK POSTOFFICE BUILDING
KEPT IN FINE CONDITION.
AMONG BEST IN UNITED STATES
Government Inspector of Public Build
ings Pays a Rather Unusual But
Merited Compliment to the Manner
In Which the Norfolk Building is
Kept.
"The Norfolk federal building Is
one of the best kept and neatest gov
ernment buildings it. the United
States. " This was the verdict yester
day afternoon of W. Haverstick of
Washington , D. C. , general inspector
of supplies and public buildings and
connected with the treasury depart
ment.
It was a rather unusual but a mer
ited compliment paid the Norfolk post-
ofllco force at the close of the Wash
ington official's inspection of the Nor
folk building. Mr. Haverstick Is con
stantly traveling from one office to
another Inspecting the contliiion of
the government's ' property.
The government rates the carp and
condition of its buildings as bad , pour
good and excellent. There was no
doubt Mr. Haverstick said about Nor
folk coming under the latter clas lfl
cation.
The federal building and Its fur
nishings are under the general direc
tion of Postmaster John R. Hays as
official custodian of the building.

OVER FIVE MONTHS , WEDDING
KEPT A SECRET.
INSTEAD OF MERE TWO WEEKS
It Now Develops That the Gllne-Wolf
Wedding , Which Has Just Come to
Light , Took Place In Omaha During
Ak'Sar-Ben Week.
And now It transpires that the Gllne-
Wolf wedding , which was kept n sub
lime secret from everybody , took
place almost six months ago , instead
of a week and a half ago. Roy GHne
and Martha Wolf" were married In
Omaha on October 1 , 1907 , Instead of
March 7. Knowledge of the marriage
has just conic to light.
For over five months the fact of the
wedding was successfully kept a se
cret. Then the groom confessed.
Yesterday The News said that the
wedding took place March 7 , but It
now develops that the ceremony was
performed months ago.
It was during Ak-Sar-Ben week that
the ceremony took place.
Carl Wilde Resigns.

UNION PACIFIC WANTS TO BUILD
THEM OF BRICK.
THE CITY COUNCIL SAYS NAY
A Lively Discussion In Which the
Relative Merits of Railroads are
Compared The Proposition Is Fi
nally Voted Down.
The city council met last night and
talked of various things. It argued
with some vim the lelatlvo merits of
the Northwestern and Union Pnclllc
railroads and indulged In spasmodic
Illghts of humor.
"Ho who has anything gets more
and he who hasn't any favors from
the clt > why he keeps what ho has , "
declared one councilman when a bit
of municipal Improvement was up.
The Union Pacific Is going to place
numerous sidewalks and crossings in
various paits of Norfolk whore they
have been ordered by the city. Super
intendent of Bridges and Buildings
Schermorhoru of Omaha was before
the council and asked for permission
to lay a brick walk on Norfolk avenue
because he said a cement walk had
to be ruined everytlme the company
moved a sidetrack. Councilman Knuff-
nmn thought that It would be fair to
let the company use vitrified brick
provided that it would lay all the
crossings and walks the city wanted.
Pat Dolan from the Fourth ward
ward jumped all over the proposition
and started a lively debate. Council
men Kauffman and liuchholz voted In
favor of the proposition , Councllmon
Craven , Degner , Dolan , Haase , Garvin
and Spellman in opposition.
This action introduced a general
discussion In which It was decided
that railroad crossings are a number
of things they should not be.
W. J. Gow representing a number
of property owners on Nebraska av
enue between Tenth and Thirteenth
streets petitioned the council for a
water main extension on Nebraska
avenue. He said that the people on
the street had to go some distance to
reach the water mains and that the
service was correspondingly poor.
Councilman Kauffman thought that
the public works committee ought to
take the extension up and locate It
where it was most needed. It was
argued , however , that other parts of
town had not asked for an extension ,
and the petition was granted.
A committee consisting of City En
gineer Salmon and Councllmen Gar
vin and Dolan was appointed to Inves
tigate the woven wire rip-rap work
done In the vicinity by R. C. Ander
son of Genoa. It has been proposed
to protect the road in the vicinity of
the Norfolk avenue bridge over the
Northfork In this manner.
The committee on the water plant
proposal was granted an extension of
time to continue investigations.
An ordinance starting condemna
tion proceedings against a piece of
property owned by J. C. Stltt and
needed to straighten out Sixth street
was ordered started , the council and
Mr. Stltt having been unable to get
together on terms.

teen men united themselves together
for the mutual protection of their
families In case of death. From that
