Hanks" wan the topic as-
Hlgned the governor. He declared in
ftivnr of state savings hanks , operated
i > y private hiinkors , rather than postal
j-mvingH banks which would collect the
miles of the laboring classes , concen
trate those funds In Wasliinglott and
Alien loan them out to the commercial
.hanks. The hanks should support the
KovornniPiit. not the government the
Vi.uiks.
iWould Separate the Two Banks.
Governor Sheldon would separate
the commercial hank from the bank
paying Interest on time deposits.
'This , he thought , would help In times
of financial stress , because It is the
line deposit ( lint Is withdrawn from
.tlio hank llrsl In times of distress ;
I lie commercial deposits , made by
business men who are not anxious to
be pressed themselves for money they
are borrowing , are unmolested. Toastmaster -
master Seymour confirmed this statement -
ment from his own experience in bank
ing.
Tlio governor would allow savings
banks In nvery town , operated by otll-
< -or.s : of commercial banks , under sep
arate organizations.
Would Remove Mortgage Tax.
The governor spoke for the resident
mortgage owner who Is discriminated
against by state law In favor of the
non-resident mortgage owner. "Weal-
low ( be non-resident mortgage owner
lo go free from tax , but tax the resi
dent mortgage holder.Ve ought not
i < > thus drive capital needed here , out
nf our own state. "
The governor said that If we had
I he riglil kind of currency wo wouldn't
need "emergency" currency. lie de
plored the fact Hint every tlmo one
section of Hie country needed cur-
teiiry , it pained another section. IJa-
ther than emergency ciirrcnc > on mu
nicipal bonds , he would have a cur
rency based upon the commodities of
I'xrhango. fnr currency , after all , is
merely a medium of exchange.
Raps Congress.
Congressmen who wait to act unlll
the people have made up their minds ,
received a gentle rapping nt the gov
ernor's hands. He said that It was the
il'uty of congressmen and senators to
these problems of statecraft ;
they ought not wait till they see the
handwriting on the wall.
The governor highly complimented
Norfolk and particularly the ladles of
the Ijiulles ( Jnild of Trinity church ,
who served the banquet. He thanked
the bankers for the Invitation to be
here , expressed enjoyment In his visit
to Norfolk always and said he had
greatly enjoyed the banquet. He took
occasion to pay strong compliments
to Senator Randall and Representative
Tom Alderson who were In the legisla
ture from this county last year. Doth
wore efficient and tireless be do
cl'ired.
It was a banquet beautiful. The hall
wus decorated in a remarkably pretty
way , green and pink predominating.
The ceiling was green with artificial
leaves that hung suspended from ev
erywhere ; pillars and corners and
tahles wore pink with real and artill
cial carnations. A score of pretty
young women served the banquet ,
course by cf.urse , in unison that was
charming. From behind a largo cage-
like screen of green came soft , sweet
trains of music throughout the even
ing , productd by Miss Fannie Norton
at the piano and Julius Hulff on the
violin. And the delicacies of the ban
quet rounded out the entirety of an
exceptional feast.
The Banquet Beautiful.
Seymour Great as Toastmaster.
George N. Seymour of Klgin was
great as toastmaster. With sparkling
wit and humor that bubbled up from
an over flowing fountain of resource
fulness , Mr. Seymour kept the 192 ban
queters in the best of spirits through
out the long evening. And he not only
told refreshing stories , but he liberat
ed many a surprise In arrow-shots at
those about him. He tlmnKed the
committee for the power they gave
him. Even Governor Sheldon couldn't
talk until Seymour told him to !
B. A. Wlltse of I'ender entertained
the crowd with bright stories. Ills
subject was "This and That , " and he
used many dialects In brilliant fashion
to amuse his hearers. At the close he
grew more serious , and bespoke great
er consideration for the unfortunate
fellowbelngs who never know the lux
uries of life.
C. H. Reynolds of Norfolk , superin
tendent of the Chicago & Northwestern -
orn railroad , spoke on "Four Sure
Things " Hut he found it hard to find
four sure things In life. Death , they
siy. Is sure. He was never dead not
that he know of. Taxes , they say are
hintAsk a banker how sure taxes
are Quo sure thing was this : In any
town where there are three banks ho
tli'ln't mean Norfolk one banker Is a
P-i'iyclaii. ' one a sportsman and one
tl handsomest man In town. At the
cU-si he read an original and very
_ iilillilg'fnrnniis'
clowr poem on the "Aldrlch 11111. "
which brought down the house Gov
ernor Sheldon particularly compliment
ed Mr Reynolds for thin poem.
George Coupland of Elgin , regent of
the state university , discussed , "Our
Niche , " In Honnus vein. He spoke of
Arbor day and Its meaning.
Stale Treasurer Hrlan gave finan
cial figures and bespoke the passage
of the amendment that will come to
voters next fall , allowing Htate funds
to bo Invested In school bonds , keepIng -
Ing the money at home and either giv
ing a bettor rate of Interest or earn
ing more for the. stall1.
At the close of the evening Toastmaster -
master Seymour again paid tribute to
Norfolk ladles. "Thoy trust us only
In Norfolk have I ever seen sterling

Mrs. Anna Luikart , widow of Ihe
late Hon. O. A. Lulkart , died very sud
denly In her home on West Norfolk

Death was due probably to brain
lomorrhage. Mrs. Lulkavt had gone
Into the bathroom and some time later
was found by her daughter , Miss Stella
Luikart.
Mrs. Lulkart had never been well
since the tragic death of her husband ,
who was struck down by a horse at
the corner of Norfolk avenue and
Fourth street about four years ago.
The shock of that deplorable tragedy
almost wrecked the nerves of the be
reaved widow and she had never re
covered her normal health. She spent
some time in sanitariums and nt health
resorts.
Mrs. Luikart's condition , however ,
had not been considered particularly
critical at this time and her sudden
death came as a very severe shock to
her children and friends of the family.
At an early hour Thursday morning
Mrs. Lulkart was heard to go Into the
bathroom. Miss Stella Lulkart , eldest
of the children now at homo , had as
sisted the Ladies of Trinity guild In
serving the bankers banquet until af
ter midnight Wednesday night , and
she was naturally sleeping somewhat
late. She thought nothing of hearing
her mother's footsteps , and continued
a restful nap. Later , when she arose ,
she was astounded at finding that her
mother had passed away in the bath
room.
Mrs. Lnikart would have been fifty
years old on December 27. She was
married to Mr. Luikart at Galesburg ,
111. , on Juno 17 , 1877.
Family Friends of Bryan.
The Lulkart family have long been
Intimate personal friends of Hon. W
J. llryan , distinguished leader of the
democratic party lu two presidential
campaigns and the probable nominee
of his party during the coming sum
mer. Mr. Bryan was much grieved at
the death of Mr. Luikart and when
ever he has come to Norfolk since
that time he has made It a point to
call upon Mrs. Luikart.
The eldest son , E. H. Lulkart , Is a
banker nt Tllden and a prominent
democrat In the state. Mr. and Mrs
E. If. Lulkart have been In Now York
on a trip , but are expected home Frl

WHY NELS MULLENDERG MOVED
Left Plalnview Because of Threats.
Against the Life of Himself and'
Family Hidden Foes Talk of ThrowIng -
Ing Poison in the Well.
Does the "black hand" society reach
out to Nebraska ?

for peaceful north Nebraska , Is told
In the following news Item printed In

Nels Miillenherg and family left
Fildr.y for their new home at Wake-
lleld , Neb. Mr. Mullenberg goes

western road at that place , having
been transferred from the Plalnview
section upon his own request. Hlancho
Dofonbaugh ( , of Gregory , S. D. , and
who formerly lived hero takes charge
of this section.
The reason for his application fora

Phiinvlew. During the past throe
months four letters of this character
have bopn received by him. Each let
ter containing threats which endan
gered not only his life but that of every
member of bis family. Tlio letters
contained statements that poison
would lie thrown Into the well and
other slmlllar threats.
It is witli muoh regret that we note
that anything of that character should
happen in this city. Mr. Mullenberg
and family wore pleasant and agree
able people and wo as well as all the
people of this city with the one prob
able exception , are extremely sorry
to see them leave. They have our
best wishes and sympathy and we
hope that these "loo letters , " as Mr.
Mullenberg calls them are discontin
ued so that their residence at Wake-
field ' will prove pleasant and agreeable.
