l
seat-orders to Insure the attraction.
.
"The District Leader" is so well known
t
to all who have kept posted upon the
musical comedy successes of the sea-
G
son in the cities , as to need no de-
tailed accounting. It was written by
Joseph E. Howard , who wrote "The
y Time , tiie Place and the Girl , " and
e
also "The Flower of the Ranch. " Norfolk -
folk had an opportunity last winter to
see "The Flower of the Ranch , " but
the advance sale of tickets failed to
-
guarantee that attraction and it
booked for Fremont. There are a
number of other cities after the open
date of June 5 for "The District Lead
er , " though Norfolk has the option in
ease a guarantee Is assured. Another
day remains in which the theatergoers
of Norfolk and surrounding towns may
decide whether or not they want to
see "The District Leader" here.

ooil road making.

; oed roads committee by the club dl-
ectors yesterday afternoon.
The subject of good roads was
ronght before the directors by Mr.
-precher - , who has been a good roads
nthuslast for many years. Mr.
precher pointed out the value ofsys-
inatlc road making and the poor re-
ults that had been obtained In the
nst through haphazard methods and
emitorary repairs. He thought that
s'orfolk should try to get the govern-
iient to give a demonstration of good
oad making In this vicinity. Wbere
he government takes up tills work It
ends an expert and meets all of the
xpense of the sample road. The dl-
ectors agreed with Mr. Sprccher and
nstructed him In conjunction with Mr.
layer to enter into the necessary cor-
espondence.
Norfolk has already shown her In-
erest in better roads. Before Mr.
Jprecher appeared before the club the
Ire-ctors had appropriated $250 to bo
sed in co-operating with the county
n putting In better condition the
ountry roads leading Into Norfolk.
The money will be expended under the
lirectlon of County Commissioner
Jurr Taft.
The Commercial Club Auxiliary is
tudying the King road drag and has
i-oted to have a new drag built.

ng to give general attention to all

Takes up Lawn Competition Again.

The Norfolk Commercial Club Aux-
llary , at its meeting last evening ,
ook up the question of a lawn com
petition again. It was agreed that it
would probably be best not to ask
Norfolk avenue merchants to contrib
ute the prizes but to vote prizes with-
> ut outside soliciting. The auxiliary
voted to divide the expenses of the
prizes with the parent club if the
club directors would agree to the
plan. The Woman's club is willing
to take charge of the competition
tgain.
The Auxiliary voted for immediate
efforts to Increase Its membership.

The town of Bulte was threatened
by a Miiall tornado the other day.
The storm missed Butte but cremled
considerable disturbance over the
country. At the home of Miss Nell
Copland live miles west of Butte the
Ktorm took out two windows and then
scouped a good portion of the lighter
household belongings through the
windows. No one was at home. The
storm also blew up several other
stories.
Grand Island Independent : John
Mattes , jr. , president of the Sons of
Hermann of Nebraska , who Impressed
many even outside of the order with
his earnestness , his ability and his
capacity for large duties , Is mentioned
as a candidate on the democratic tick
et for secretary of state. Were it cer
tain instead of otherwise that the
next secretary of state would be n
democrat , that party could not do bet
ter for Itself or for the people at large
than to select the Nebraska City man
mentioned. It would be a recognition
of the German population of the state
as well as a nomination for which the
party would never have cause to re
gret. Any man of the Ideals expressed
by Mr. Mattes In his address on "The
German In politics" Is likely to make
a good , honest and efllclent ofllcer.
The national convention of the
Travelers' Protective association will
be held In Milwaukee , WIs. , beginning
June 22 and will continue throughout
the week. It Is expected that there
will be an attendance of between 5.000
and 8.000 travelers and their friends
on this occasion and the Wisconsin
division Is malting elaborate plans for
their entertainment. The business
sessions will dispose of a number of
Important matters of interest to the
traveling public. One subject of Im
portance will be the encouragement
of legislation in all states and In con
gress to bring about the use of steel
lire-proof cars on all railroads. It has
been calculated that the largest per
centage of loss of life and limb on
railroads Is due to the telescoping and
burning of cars In train wrecks , which
renders it impossible to release the
victims before It is too late to save
their lives. The entertainment pro
gram for the week is especially elab
orate and will tend to sustain the
reputation hold by Milwaukee as a
convention city.
'WINSIDE SALOON LICENSE CASE
TO DISTRICT COURT.
THEN GO TO SUPREME COURT
.
Many Witnesses Were Examined at
the Winslde Saloon Case Hearing
Not as Much Bitterness Came Ou
as Was Anticipated.
Winside , Neb. , May 27. For two
weeks more at least Winside will be
"dry. " At the hearing , while the anti
saloon people failed to prove theli
contentions to the satisfaction of the
village council , and they were over-
ruled , notice of appeal to the dlstric
-
court was served , which prevents th
- two saloons from opening until tha1
. court decides the matter. This it 1
expected will be in two weeks.
Many witnesses were examined an
r much testimony taken at the hearing
and the attorneys on both sides ob
,
' jected to most of each other's ques
tions to witnesses. The validity o :
several ordinances is questioned
_ which the district court will have t
decide. Whatever may bo the decl
_ slon of the district court it is almost
sure that the case will be taken to
-
the supreme court. However , If the
district court decides in favor of the
saloon men , they may open up pend
ing the action of the higher court.
There was not as much bitter feel
ing aroused as was expected. It is the
almost unanimous opinion of Winside
people that the saloon question be
settled by popular vote , and such a
method wll be adopted next year.

NEBRASKA GOVERNOR MAY BE
PUSHED FORWARD.
DOESN'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY
iVhile Governor Sheldon Refuses to
Take the Movement Seriously , it is
Reported From Lincoln That He
Will be Pushed in the Race.
Lincoln , Neb. , May 27. While Gov-
rnor Sheldon declines to take the
natter seriously , an effort Is to be
nade by the republican delegation
rom Nebraska to impress the C'hlca
go convention with the idea that it
votild be good politics to name Shcl
Ion on the ticket with Taft , as the
vice presidential candidate.
It is figured that Hughes will not
permit his name to be usbd and that
the Indications now are that he wil
again a candidate for governor o
New York ; that Fairbanks will refuse
and that Cortelyou will be offensive
o the west. Therefore it will lie goo (
politics to make a western man Taft's
running mate.
Governor Sheldon does not believe
that the west will be considered in
he makeup of the ticket. He says
that easterners class Taft as a west
ern man , Ohio being west of their
horizon of vision , and that the east
will insist upon naming the man for
se-cond - place. This is not conceded
by the Sheldon boomers , but the gen
eral Impression of the politicians is

ACTORS FACE TRAGEDY.
Want Will Stalk Along the Rlalto
This Summer.
New York , May 23. The coming
summer gives every promise of being
the hardest one in years for members
or the theatrical profession. It haa
been a long time since there has been
as disastrous a season theatrically as
the one just closed , and there Is no
prospect of any better times for the
actor for many months.
In the height of the season it was
estimated that more than 2,000 actors
and actresses were out of work in New
York , the largest number of unem
ployed in the profession for many
years. Several hundred companies
that started in the season with every
prospect of success were forced to
close soon after the coming of the
financial depression , which followed
close on the opening of the theatrical
season.
'For this reason , even of the actors
who secured positions , thousands
were forced to bo satisfied with very
short seasons and were , therefore , un
able to lay by the amounts required
to keep them through the summer
when work In their profession is al
ways slack.
The Actors' Fund , the great char
ity of tile theatrical profession , Is not
In a position to carry on the work
which It will be asked to do , for at
the annual meeting held a few days
ago a deficiency of more than $20,000
on the year's work was reported.
The question of living through the
Miimner is a serious one to hundreds
f playen. . and Con < - > Island and
e.'lnr Miinlar mu.rts are overrun with
of the profession , who are
work of any sort that will
provide food for the summer months.
