"Tiiu battle of the cities Is on" ho

they want and art- going after It are
tlio ones which are doubling and
quadrupling their population
Tlio manufacturing center lias

Norfolk ? .Money Is looking for In-
vestment.
Arc yon loyal to tin- town ? Hoforo

strong to commercial club mtetlngs ?
Are you after new Industries , conven

Jin expert spent the day going over
Norfolk before making his evening

Gorman farming community , which
he listed as a distinct asset.
Tlie Commercial club.
The weekly luncheons of the Com
mercial club directors.
A dally newspaper with a circula
tion of100. | .
"I was amazed when I learned that
such a newspaper had boon built up
here , " snjjl Mr. Irvhig going Into some
detail at this p'olnt. "It Is a
great asset to the town and I
would be to any town. II tell you j
you don't support It as you ought to
because you don't appreciate what a
factor such a paper Is and can be.
There arc towns which are literally
dying for lack of . a good paper
Hero under the fierce competition of
Sioux City and Omaha you have n
publisher who has built np a paper
which can carry your word and the
town's prestige out into your world
with a circulation which I say Is
amazing. If I lived here I would even
stretch a point to support such a
paper. Two per cent of a merchant's
sales should be set aside for advertis
ing. You are not doing it.
"A. L. Killlan Is one bright spot I
saw in your town. His advertising
counts for something for the town.
And I looked at the sign cards In his
store and they told me something. "

Municipal Service league , a depart
ment of the Dry Goods Reporter and
allied publications. Mr. Irvlng's talk
had enough detail to be of value to
those who haeard the address. A
laiger audience would have been pres
out bad tlio exact nature of the even-
tug's talk been understood.

The Capture of the Wild Man.
Anoka Herald : The sister on the
hill says that the "wild man" who ale
raw meat , fish , etc. , and who was on
exhibition at Unite last week during
the carnival , and claimed to have been
captured ten miles beyond Luzon , was
in reality captured lu the interior of
Anoka , dining the absence of the
barber. You are partly right , sister ,
and If we are not terribly mistaken
In the man , wo recollect of his stray
Ing here from Dutte one afternoon last
fall , but on that occasion his appetite ,
instead of having a hankering for raw
meat , t'.sh ' and such stuff , run more
toward booze and tame grapes , which
ended In his capture by the village
marshal.

Four base ball games will bo otfered
Norfolk "fans" In the next ten days.
Satisfied with the attendance at the
Stnnton game and the closing game
with the Walthlll Indians the local
base ball committee is going ahead
with the schedule for the next fort
night ,
Until this week the base ball at
tendance was disappointing. The
week hi ought no financial gain but
the reason lay In the rain of Wednes
day which cut the attendanceto
pieces at that game. Bettor base ball
spirit , however. Is being shown In
Norfolk , and It seems probable that
the town will rally to tlio support of
the national game.
Tuecd.jy's Game.
Interest In Tuesday's game will bo
Intense because It Is Iho "rubber" be
tween the two teams. This week's
victory over the Indians counted for
something because the Indiana scarce
ly know what defeat is.

the fastest teams on the Boncstcel
lino.

Madison Star-Mall : One of the
most important business changes that
has taken place in Madison business
circles for some time took place this
week when John Horst disposed of
his hardware business to W. W.
Weaver of Norfolk. John Horst Is
oiio of Madison's pioneer merchants ,
having originally started in business
In 1S7S. Mr. Horst soon became one
of the- strong and substantial business
men of the new town and ever since
that time has been an Industrious and
hard working man and at all times
has been a prominent factor in tlie up
building of Madison. Mr. Horst has ,
as yet not decided what ho will do in
the fuilire , but for the present he
will remain In Madison until some
thing definite turns up. Mr. Weaver ,
who becomes the proprietor of the
new store , is well known in the west
ern part of the county and has many
friends here. He was In the hardware
business In both Tilden and Norfolk
for a number of years and In both
places was held in high regard as a
business man and In a personal way.
We welcome Mr. Weaver to our midst
and trust he will meet with due suc
cess in his venture here.
A Mean Man.
Madison Star-Mail : Madison has
as an Inhabitant a miserable wretch
whose life Is a burden to himself and
his presence an eye-sore to seven-
eights of our citizens and the
cur has poisoned several fine dogs , and
done other acts that no one but a
dirty coward would think of doing ,
but the limit was readied when this
first cousin of the leading lady of the
Ringling Brother's babboon family
poisoned the two fine young bird dogs
of Henry Field which were as harm
less as a pair of kittens and were ad
mired by every man in town who ever
threw a gun over Ills shoulder for a
day's sport in tlie field. Besides a
car'i Iny out of something over $50
Cleik Field has spent months of time
In twining of ills dogs and It is hard
for one to think that Madison con
tains a man so unscrupulous as to do
whpt this dog poisoner , backcapper
and scandal monger has done on this
occasion and many others. The pet
water spaniel of George Davenport
has also been poisoned recently.
