CONSTERNATION IN THE BOARD
Are Not Pleased at Prospect of Losing

the City Schools.
There has been no change In the
situation of the local school superln-
tendency , Superintendent E. J. Bod-
well not having been advised definitely
up to this time us to the details of his
election nt Beatrice.
The announcement Saturday that
the Beatrice school board has asked
Superintendent Bodwell to go to Be
atrice was received with something
very close to consternation In local
school circles. Members of the board
of education , recognizing the worth of
the present superintendent , have been
very anxious to keep Mr. Bodwell here
until the effects ot the recent fire have
been wiped out and the schools
launched on the growth which is ex
pected to come when the high school
and seventh and eighth grades are
taken from their present temporary
quarters.
As soon as it was known that there
was a possibility of a vacancy existing
In the city superlntendcncy here the
local school authorities began to re
ceive communications from school
men anxious to come here.
As Viewed at Beatrice.
Commenting on the election of Mr.
Bodwell to Beatrice the Beatrice Ex
press says editorially :
"In the selection of E. J. Bodwell ,
present superintendent of the Norfolk
schools , to succeed Superintendent
C. A. Fulmer In Beatrice the members
of the board of education have reason
to believe they have chosen a man of
exceptional merit in both scholarship
and executive ability. They feel con
fident he will give satisfaction and
'make good. ' "
Concerning the election of Superin
tendent Bodwell to the city superin
tendence * at Beatrice the Beatrice Sun

The board of education met last
evening in an adjourned regular ses
sion with all members present As
a successor to Mr. Fulmer , recently

tun.The
The big mass meeting in Norfolk
Sunday afternoon was in part the
iilt of a nation wide feeling among
railroad employes that in view of
present conditions the continued at
tucK on railroad revenue is getting to
: i point where it threatens the wel
fare of the railroad employe. Similar
meetings under the auspices of the
various organizations of railroad men
have been held recently at Missouri
Valley and at Chadron. A like meetIng -
Ing will be held at Fremont next Sun
duj. Straight justice and a fair deal
for the railroad and through the rail
road for the railroad employe was the
key note of the Norfolk meeting.
Petition Railway Commission.
The following petition , drawn up at
the direction of the mass meeting
Sunday afternoon , is now ready for
the signature of the railroad men of
this division , Norfolk citizens and the
people of this section generally :
"To the honorable board of rail
road commissioners : We , the under
signed citizens of the State of Ne
braska , respectfully petition your
honorable body that in the re-adjust-
rneut of freight rates you do not re
duce the revenue of the railroads of
the state. "
The meeting also adopted the fol
lowing resolutions , which will be pre
sented to the Commercial club direct
ors Tuesday :
Be it resolved : That we , as em-
plo > es of the Chicago & Northwest
ern Hallway company , and represent
ing several hundred fellow employes
and their families , who reside in Nor
folk , Nebraska , as well as all labor
organizations represented on said
railroad , view with much alarm the
threatened further agitation and re
duction of freight rates in the state
of Nebraska , which if carried out will
reduce revenues to the extent that a
general reduction of wages will be
made it having come to the point
where such action will have to be
taken by the railroad company people
in order to meet such reduction of
revenues and ,
Be it further. Resolved , That we , as
citizens of Norfolk , Nebraska , and
also as tax-payers , and representing
about one-half the population of said
citj and a large source of revenue
to the merchants , banks , etc. , we re
spectfully solicit the aid of the Nor
folk Commercial club in our efforts
before the Nebraska state railway
commission and also the inter-state
commerce commission ; and ,
Fe it further , Resolved , That we
earnestly request the said commercial
club to endorse our resolutions passed
at this meeting , which are to be pre
sented to the railway commission at
Lincoln on the 27th of this month , in
which we have asked that no further
reductions of freight rates be made
and that they refrain from further
agitation of the freight rate question ;
and knowing that we are a large factor
in the little city of Norfolk and that
our interests are also the interests
of the merchants of said city , we
earnestly ask your co-operation In this
vital question of "wages" with us and
our families , and that the friendly
feeling now existing hetween railway
employes and the merchants of Nor
folk be allowed to continue.
Adopted at a rat-eting of railway
employes at Norfolk Junction , April
12 , 1908.
1908.In
In Session Four Hours.
The railroad men were in session
more than four hours Sunday after-
neon. The present railroad situation
was carefully discussed. Every man
who spoke agreed that the anti-rail
road campaign had gained so much
blind force that , in the present condi
tions of railroad business and finance ,
it was time for the railroad employes
to look out for their own Interests.
A. J. Durland , president of the Com
mercial club , was present by Invita
tion and entered into the dJccusBlon.
Tee railroad men reciprocated toe
friendly feeling expressed by Mr. Dur
land and the outcome of the meeting
apparently brought the club and the
railroad men together In a common
plan of action before the state com *
mission.
The chairman of the mass meeting
was Conductor Pat Dolan , councilman
from the Fourth ward. George Fos
ter , station agent at Scrlhner , was
chosen secretary.
A sot of resolutions of considerable
length to be presented the state rail
road commission were offered. These
resolution ) ) were at one time adopted
but their action was later rescinded.
In the discussion that followed n num
ber of short talks were made by va
rious prominent railroad men , among
others ' . J. Hlhhen
Engineer ( , council-
man-elect from the Fourth wn d , C.
M. Wurzbacher. station agent nt Til-
don. Conductor A. I ) . Lane , Conductor
J. F. McOrane and Mr. Foster , the
Hocrotnry of the meeting. Mr. Foster
reviewed the railroad situation at
some loimth. Railroads he said in-
Htoad of being viewed as the life blood
of the republic were getting to be
looked at as simply enemies of the
republic. Radical anti-railroad agita
tion had resulted In two unfortunate
conditions , according to Mr. Foster.
Ono was that politicians were using
attacks on the transportation com
panies for political capital and the
other was that different sections were
bending the hostile railroad feeling to
their own ends.
Commercial Club President Speaks.
Mr. Foster was followed by Presi
dent Durlnnd of the Commercial club.
He said that ho had a very friendly
feeling for the railroad men and that
he was glad of an opportunity to ex
plain what the club was doing. He
was not a politician but he was an
ox-employe of the railroad company ,
having with his.oldtime . law partner ,
Mr. Brome , represented the Elkhorn
road as Its attorney back In 1881. In
cidentally he mentioned that in the
legislature of 1S8IJ he had dared to
vote against the three-cent fare bill
ii ml was mainly Instrumental in get
ting for the M. & O. and the North
western roads three-and-a-half cent
fare lor two years when the other
roads of the state were getting only
three cents , because he thought that
the development and extension of the
railroad companies was needed In the
north part of the state.
Mr. Durland explained that at the
time the two-cent fare bill passed he
thought the action III advised because
be thought the legislature was acting
on a very important matter without
possessing the data to act intelligent
ly. He so advised our representatives
In the legislature.
He is now Inclined to think that
the hill was fair In its results and
that the revenue from the passenger
department had not been crippled.
"I have paid out quite a lot of
money in Norfolk , " the president said ,
" 1 am alwa > s glad to give a good man
a good price for good work. I don't
believe that any man as a rule gets
too much for his labor.
"Wo are all interested in Norfolk.
I did not seek that presidency of the
Commercial club but when I took up
the work It seemed that the question
of Norfolk's future was controlled by
the freight rate question. We want to
build up manufacturing , wholesale and
retail businesses here. Everyone
knows that no town has a better ter
ritory in which to do business than
Norfolk has to the west and north.
Some of its have worked for about
thirty years to build the town up and
we feel that we have gone .about as
far as possible unless we bring to
this city new industries that will give
employment to labor.
"What we are asking of the rail'
roads Is that they give us what Teddie
Roosevelt calls a square deal. Wt
don't ask for the best of it. We dc
ask to be put on as good a basis at-
the bigger towns of this section , Oma
ha , Sioux City and Lincoln. I appeal
to you If this Is not right and honor
able.
"We are asking to be allowed to dc
business in this territory on the same
basis that the bigger cities are per
mitted to do business. We don't want
a rate reduction. And we do nol
want discrimination. "
E. A. Bullock , who Is a member of
the Commercial club's committee on
rates , also spoke.
Just what the Commercial club was
asking for was pointed out by the two
speakers. The question of the Duluth
rate was explained and also the ex
tent of the negotiations with , the rail
road company.
T. Morrison , who came up from
Frehiont to attend the meeting ,
thought that It was probable that the
question ot a general reduction in
freight rates would come up at the
Lincoln hearing. In the matter of
rates he thought that there should be
one rate for all and that rates in dif
ferent localities should be equalized.
S. L. Miller said that there bad been
no reduction In living expenses and
that railroad men couldn't afford a re
duction In silaries.
Calls For Good Men.
O. P. List wanted good men sent to
Lincoln who could go over the situa
tion clearly He gave a number of
figures bearing on the situation. He
thought tli it a change In the Duluth
rate svould uurt the local railroad sit
uation because it would bring a re
duction In the Chicago rate to this
section. He spoke of the factor that
the railroad men were In Norfolk and
thought that it was advisable that the
rate question be left alone just now.
W. J. McNamee told what it had
cost the engineers to get their last
raise of tea cents.
James Davey , a Norfolk engineer ,
said that the railway commission rep
resented the whole state of which the
railroad men. were a rather small pro
portion. HQ thought that the men
who had been active in electing the
commlsMoutrs would be the men
would Influence them.
W M. Dlxon said that the farmers
and business men at Ixmg Pine sup
ported the railroad men In their ntti-
tude against reducing the railroad rev *
i'tnii' at this time.
"Who pays the freight ? " asked Con
ductor G. W. Sears. "Either the con
sumer or the producer. Not the
wholesaler or the retailer. It IH the
farmer who has made money during
the last ten years and he Is not call
ing for a reduction. The consumer
doesn't notice a change In freight
rates. Hallrotul men have already felt
what Is virtually a reduction the last
few months. The cost of Hvltic has
Increased and we can not accept u
cut We must go before the commis
sion on the justice of the situation. "
Advises Co-operation.
Conductor A. M. Ix > nch said that
he understood that the Commercial
club was not trying to reduce rates
but to equalize them. He thought
that everyone should get together and
push for Norfolk. "Wo can help the
business men of Norfolk and the busi
ness men can help us. What Is good
or one Is for the good of the other , "
: ie said. Mr. lyoach made a plea for
co-operation.
F. W. Koerber said that It was his
candid opinion that the help of the
ljuslness men of Norfolk was needed.
The resolutions which had been
first adopted having been reconsidered
u committee of seven was appointed
: o draw up a new resolution or petl-
: lon to the state railway commission.
L' . J. Hlbben representing the engl-
leers , Seymour Miller the conductors ,
John McGrane representing the train
men , C. M. Wurzbacher representing
the telegraphers , Pat Crotty represent-
ng the firemen , W. T. O'Donnell rei > -
resenting the track men nnd Robert
Ecclfs representing the bridge and
building workers , were appointed to
draft the new petition.
The petition they presented was
brief and was said to have been
drawn up along the lines of the one
formulated at Chadron. O. P. List ,
M. W. Case nnd J. J. Welsh were ap
pointed as a committee to circulate
the petition for signatures.
Mr. Dili-land expressed his approval
of the petition and said that he was
sure that the Commercial club would
do what it could to get Norfolk citi
zens to sign it. He said that it was
n proposition Norfolk people could
get together on. Arrangements were
made to have representatives of the
Commercial club accompany the peti
tion committee on its rounds.
The delegation selected to represent
the railroad employes at Lincoln was
invited to meet the directors of the
Commercial club Tuesday. Resolu
tions adopted by the meeting will be
presented to the directors. Resolu
tions were introduced in connection
with the original resolution or peti
tion to the railway commission , the
latter resolution being later rescinded.
Before the meeting adjourned the
secretary was instructed to ask the
freight department of the Northwest
ern for rate figures covering the last
ten years.
SECRET OF THE BOMBLET DROP
PED AT THE BOCHE FARM.
IT IS A SECRET NO LONGER
The Bomb Turns Out to be a Worn-
out Dry Battery Used in Flash Lan
terns Inoffensive Little Zink Can
Creates a Commotion.
The Boche bomsky has exploded.
Not literally but figuratively.
The secret of the bomblct dropped
near a gate leading to the Herman
Boche farm Is a secret no more. An
other mystery has gone wrong.
And this Is what the bomb was : A
wornout electrical dry battery used
by officers of the law and others in
flash light lanterns. The little zink
battery had been used up and some
one had tossed it away. But fate let
the little zink can fall a half a mile erse
so from the Bocbe farm yard and fer
tile imaginations turned the little can
into a terrible bomsky so attached to
the gate that its opening would ex
plode the charge.
It was Sheriff Clements who deter
mined the true character of the bomb.
He brought a. dry battery to Norfolk
with him. It was just like the other
bomb. Every one who uses an elec
tric flash light has some of these
"homos. "
Just where the original "bomb" Is
no one seems to know. Every one
has lost interest in it. It was kept In
Norfolk for a couple of weeks. But
now it has dropped out of sight. Per
haps it has exploded.

CARRINGTON OBJECTS TO PROF ,
NEAL'S ANIMATION.
WORKED FOR J. E. DELZELL
Nemaha County Man Protests Against
the Work That Was Done at the
Norfolk Convention by the Professor
of the Kearney Normal.
The political activity of Professor
Neale of the Kearney normal in boostIng -
Ing the candidacy of J. 11 Dolzell for
state superintendent at ( ho time of
the Third district congressional con
vention in Norfolk has excited the
wrath of County Superintendent Car-
rlngton of Nomaha county , himself a
candidate for the republican nomina
tion for state superintendent Car-
rington , who has made a good deal of
noise about his own candidacy , has
written a letter to President Thomas
of the Kearney normal protesting
against Professor Neale's activity in
Norfolk and his absence from the
Kearney normal.
Carrlugton protests as a tax-payer.
He feels Injured at the Norfolk elec
tioneering and at the classes which he
says were dismissed at Kearney when
Mr. Neale was meeting the congres

Delzell.
Carrlngton Is said to be a very ener
getic young man and Is also said to
be rather out of favor with conserv
ative school men of the state on ac
count of his noisy campaign. The
state papers have pointed out that
Mr. Carrlngton himself has spent some
time away from his olllce nnd county
electioneering for himself but no one
las heard of his having docked him
self In the matter of salary.
Carrlngton charges the Nealo activ
ity up to President Thomas , who is
well known in Norfolk and who stands

There Is about as much connection
between the title of the "rollicking
musical comedy success , Everybody
Works But Father , " and the real pro
duction as given In the Auditorium
Saturday night , as there Is between
black and white. During the whole
performance there was not nn Ink
ling of "Father" nor much of an in
timation that any of the company
' 'worked , " although there was abund
ant evidence that the Auditorium
management and the people who were
in the audience were being success
fully "worked. " The advance man
who billed the play In hero gave as
surance that the company consisted
of twelve people , that it was an ex
traordinarily clever medium priced
musical comedy but when the curtain
was rung up only six very mediocre
persons answered roll call , and the
whole production gave al > oiit twenty-
five per cent of the merit that was
expected. The dancing specialties
were fairly good , but the speaking
parts were mumbled , the acting In
different and the singing execrable.
