FEELS VERY COMFORTABLE.
H. W. Winter Is Thankful to be Saved
From the Democratic Wreck.
H. W. Winter , the only democrat
looted for councilman in Norfolk ,
trho was chosen to represent the First
ward by a majority of three votes , is
feeling very comfortable over even
those three votes. They are much
bigger than they look to be on the
surface. They represent not only
their own intrinsic value but they rep
resent as well 57 more votes that the
republican head of the ticket received
over the democratic candidate , consequently
quently Mr. Winter has a right to fig-
are that his majority was 60 , and that
over one of the strongest candidates
-an the republican ticket. Mr. Winter
wishes he might personally thank
every man who voted for him , but as
that Is impossible he hopes this state
ment through The News may have the
Bime effect.

NEW BUILDING REQUIRES ONLY
A FEW MORE DAYS WORK.
MAY BE OCCUPIED IN A WEEK
It Is Probable That School May be
Held In the New Building a Week
From Monday Moving Will be Done
Between Friday and Monday.
Norfolk's now 110,000 high school
l > uildlng is virtually completed. The
contractor declares that only throe or
font more days work will bo required
to complete the building. It is pos
sible that school may be held in the
new building a week from next Mon
day.

board that the high school could be
moved from the Olnoy building Sat
urday and Sunday so that school

Battle Creek Enterprise : C. A.
Martin of this place and H. C. Cul-

booming the race , and he intends to
bo the flr&t In the outcome at Denver.
Ho has been in this country ever since
the Black Hills were prominent , and
he is as well known as anyone can bo.
He is doing his utmost to make the
race a success , and will be in the front
all the time. "
A Lincoln newspaper man commentIng -
Ing on the visit of two representatives
of the Norfolk Commercial club to
Lincoln said : "Norfolk wants to bo
on the map. To that end representa
tives of the Norfolk Commercial club
visited Rate Clerk Powell , of the state
railway commission , with a view to
finding out what rates other towns of
similar size have and what Norfolk
might have to do to get the same
rates. At present Norfolk has nothing
better than a fourth class distributing
rate. The in-rates are moderately sat
isfactory on large shipments but will
not allow the establishment of Job
bing houses that require both favor
able In and out-rates to do business.
For the smaller consumer Norfolk Is
well sltuate.d at present. It is made
a terminal for Sioux City rates and
the Sioux City short line rate has
been made the maximum from both
Omaha and Lincoln , Norfolk from this
arrangement enjoying the advantages
arising to the consumer from such
competition. "
LID ON IN FAIRFAX.

the city government last Tuesday and
appointed G. L. Wiard marshall In
lieu of C. L. Ferguson , resigned , nnd
instructed the new marshatl to "put
the lid on" good and tight.
Gibs troubles began Thursday night
when some of the "boys" began to
get a little top heavy and hilariously ,
drunk. One fellow overreached the
limit and found himself in the "coop. "
Friends came to his rescue and he
was released on bond to go home and
report later for his alleged misconduct
But home he would not go just at
that time and soon began anew "to
raise Cain" which of course Gib did
not approve of and again took the
young man in charge and landed him
In the "coop" for the "second degree" .
Quiet now seems to reign supreme
but no friends como to his assistance
this time so after a reasonable tlmo
apparently In vain , the prisoner pro
ceeds to remove some of the "wires"
that bar his freedom and the last soon
of the prisoner he was "hiking" for
the south side of the Nebraska-Dako
ta border line.

expressed concerning the lax manner
in which the city quarantine ordjnanc-

ITS after April 10. The llshlng season
opened April 1. This gives hunters
ten days In April In which they may
try the pleasures of both hunting and
fishing. Most hunters 11 ml the two
sports do not go well together. Either
the fish do not bite during the first
ten days In April or there are no
ducks or goes Hying. Besides this
drawback they find It difficult to do
two things at once. If the fish bite
It proves too Interesting to leave and
pick up a gun and go where the ducks
are quacking.
Spring duck shooting In north Ne
braska this year WJIH counted as bet
ter than It was last spring and afford
ed Homo compensation to the hunters
who missed out altogether on their
fall shooting. The ducks and geese
killed around Norfolk wore for the
most part in fine condition.
