HIS REMARK AT TILDEN IS NOT
HELPING AT HOME.
Word reaches Norfolk from New
man Grove that considerable feeling
ias been aroused there by a remark
said to have been dropped by C. A.
landall at Tilden. Mr. Randall Is the
bowman Grove banker seeking to con-
Inue himself In the senate-chamber
rom the Eleventh district.
He is said to have remarked at Til-
len recently that "the people of New-
nan Grove have to vote as I want
hem to. "
People at Newman Grove are sale ]
o resent the boast that Mr. Randall
can drive them to the polls and make
hem vote as he dictates.
If the remark was made , as is re-
> orted , It would Indicate that Mr.
landall is something of a political
) oss , himself , In his own eyes.
On former occasions Mr. Randal
ias claimed credit for the votes at
N'ewman Grove. Ho assumed credit
'or the passage of the school bom
at Newman Grove a year ago
ast spring and told the Fremont Trlb
me that he had driven the people of
that vicinity Into line. After inter
viewing him the Tribune said :
"C. A. Randall of Newman Grove
was In the city last evening on his re
turn home from Lincoln. Mr. Ran
lall is very much pleased over the
success of an election to issue schoo
: iouse bonds had last Friday. It was
voted by a majority of five to one to
Issue $10,000 In bonds for a fine build
ing. The proposition was defeatei
In January while Mr. Randall was In
Lincoln as state senator. When he re
turned home he got busy , with the
overwhelming result recorded Fri
day. "
There was one time when Mr. Ran
dall did not claim credit for Newman
Grove's vote. That was at the las
general election when the Republicans
of Newman Grove knifed John H
Harding of Meadow Grove for commls
sloner. At that time Mr. Randal
claimed that his Influence at home
was not strong enough to get Re-pub
llcan votes for the Republican candi
date. Evidently Mr. Randall was in
different to the success of his part }
ticket at that time. He was not
candidate last year for anything. Al
though he was under strong obllga
tlons to the Republican party , a
though he says he controls the vet
of his precinct , he did not take enougl
Interest in the Republican party's sue
cess to prevent the ticket being slaugl
tered at the last general election.

GUARANTEED ATTRACTION FOR
START OF SEASON.
THE KIND NORFOLK LIKES
The Royal Chef , " Containing About
Fifty People , Has About Four Times
as Much Good Music as "Prince of
Pllsen. "
There is every Indication that the
Norfolk Auditorium will bo filled to
ts capacity limit next Tuesday night
or the opening feature of the thcat-
leal season when "The Royal Chef , "
one of the very best musical comedies
ever produced , will be seen hero for
he first time.
Norfolk and north Nebraska always
lid love musical comedy. "The Prince
> f Pllsen" still lingers In Norfolk's
nemory as one of the most delicious
easts of wit and music that ever
came along. And "The Royal Chef"
s a show along the same line , except
hat "Tho Chef" contains about four
Imes as much clever music as wns
u-ard in "The Prince of Pllsen. "
Shows This Winter ? It's Up To You.
It's altogether up to Norfolk as to
whether or not this city will have the
ileasure of seeing more good shows
his season like "The- Royal Chef. "
Mr. Frazee , who owns "The Royal
Chef , " is one of the greatest musical
comedy producers in the country. He
ias a half dozen other big musical
comedies along the same order and It
will depend upon the size of the audi
ence Tuesday night as to whether or
not more of Mr. Frazeo's productions
can he secured later in the season.
"The Roynl Chef" is a guaranteed
attraction. The Auditorium manage
ment takes the responsibility of guar
anteeing it to the public of Norfolk
as one of the brightest , cleverest nnd
most attractive musical comdles that
Norfolk has seen.
An effort will be made to book a
number of very excellent attractions
this season , providing the theatergo
ing public will support them.
"The Royal Chef" on Tuesday night
affords an opportunity to Norfolk to
say whether it wants good shows or
not.

The seat sale will start Saturday
morning at 9 o'clock in the business
office of The News. Mail orders may
be sent In now.
Tuesday night will be primary elec
tion night and , as the polling places
In the state do not close till 9 o'clock-
it will be after the show before anj
figures on votes will bo available.
Norfolk being a center , It is ex
pected that many of the leading citl
zens of towns near Norfolk will come
to town Tuesday night to see "The
Royal Chef" and to gather In primary
returns later.
NEBRASKA'S EXECUTIVE RAN
THROUGH NORFOLK STREETS.
TO SPEAK AT THE SPENCER FAIR
Governor Sheldon on Short Notice
Ran Race With Bonesteel Passen
ger and Won Out Was In Norfolk
Over Night Spencer Fair Is On.
A governor late for a train run
about like anybody else. And if ho
happens to be an athletic oxecutiv
like Governor George L. Sheldon he
may even shave down the track recon
between hotel nnd depot.
Governor Sprinted In Norfolk.
Governor Sheldon , on Ills way to th
Spencer fair , sprinted in Norfol !
Thursday morning. The start was a
the Pacific hotel. The finish was a
the uptown station of the Northwest
ern. It Is a well beaten path coverct
by many a north Nebraska travele
late for his train. No one ever won
over it faster than Nebraska's gover
nor. He set a new record.
In Norfolk Over Night.
Governor Sheldon was in Norfol
over night , coming up from Columbu
on the Union Pacific. He spent th
night at the Pacific , expecting to tak
the noon train to Spencer , whore h
delivers a non-partisan speech at tli
Spencer fair. At 7:30 : a. in. ho dis
covered that a morning train ran to
Spencer. A campaign is on in Ne
braska and Spencer , together with
Neligh , is the crowd-center of north
Nebraska this week. Governor Shel
don has seen ' .sompthliig of north
state people and ho likes to mix with
them. "Spencer for me , " said the
governor In effect as lie made a dash
from the hotel. Not a cab was in
sight.
Made the Train.
As the governor took the hotel stops
In one bound the Bonesteel passen
ger pulled out of the South Norfolk
station. The governor gained on the
Inclined walk on South Fifth. As the
train made one side of the "Y" the
governor rounded the corner at Madi
son avenue. Then he lost time on a
lock of bad walks But ho came In j
n a fust sprint on the final The ROV
rnor raced the platform HKu any Nor
ilk ttavolor with a long list of towns' '
ml a whorl day. And ho made his
rain. But there was no time to spare
evoral men had hurried to the train
o see the governor. They saw the
print and the vanishing llguro of the
ovornor us the train whirled round
lie curve by the brick yards. No
uore.
Is n Racer.
Governor Sheldon Is a racer , both
n a political and athletic sense. He
s a comparatively young man of ath-
otic build , something on the order of
Bill" Hay ward , secretary of the na-
lonal committee , who was recently In
Norfolk. Sheldon served In the
Spanish war as captain In "Bryan'H
eglment. " This year it Is conceded
hat ho will outrun both ends of the
icket and oven partisan Democrats
dmlt his election.
The Spencer fair started Wednes-
ay and runs the rest of the week.
The governor , it was announced , will
nako one or two other speeches up
he north line on this trip.

VETERAN ADVERTISING MANA
GER RESIGNS POSITION.
ROUNDS OUT TWENTY YEARS.
Mr. Darlow Has Severed His Connec
tion With the Union Pacific to De
vote His Entire Time to Managing
Private Business Affairs.
Alfred Darlow , for twenty years ad
vertising manager for the Union Pa
cific railroad , and one of the best
known railway advertising men In the
world today , has Just resigned his po
sition and will assume active manage-
netit of the C. D. Thompson AdvertlB-
ng agency of Omaha , In which he
tiolds a controlling Interest , September
1. Mr. Darlow Is well known in Nor
folk , where he has many warm friends ,
ncldentally it is of interest to note
hat the C. D. Thompson Advertising
agency wns founded by a Norfolk man ,
C. D. Thompson having gone to Orna-
tia from Norfolk a score of years ago
io launch the agency that has now
srown Into one of the most conspicu
ous. Mr. Darlow is one of the men
who have made advertising a science
and to his efforts nnd his Ideas Is due
much of the growth and prosperity
> f the Union Pacl.Sc railroad.
Mr. Darlow is a prince among men.
Ho is a loyal boat. It fell to his lot a
couple of years ago , when the l > os
Angeles limited train waa Installed be
tween Chicago and Los Angeles , over
the Northwestern , Union Pacific and
San Pedro roads , to entertain thirty-
five newspaper men from all over the
United States , and he did it in Ideal
manner. Thousands and thousands of
words of free advertising were printed
In news columns of the leading papers
and magazines of the country as a re
sult of that trip.
Concerning Mr. Darlow the Omaha
Bee says In part :
Alfred Darlow is perhaps the most
prominent and widely known railroad
advertising man in the United States.
He Is one of the old guard who has
made advertising a science. Favored
with a classical education in the best
seats of learning in Europe , his tal
ents for literary work were given a
wide scope In early training , which the
work of later years required and
as a result , the Union Pacific
has long since come to bo known
for Its superior quality of literature.
Unlike many men who find in this
business only a commercial advantage ,
Mr. Darlow brought to it the touch of
the man of letters and made of his ad
vertising work a sphere of literary
excellence that has attracted attention
throughout the country , at the same
time multiplying the benefits of the
Union Pacific.
For years Mr. Darlow has been an
ardent student of the west. With its
early and current history , Its resources
its developments and Its topography ,
population and minutest characteris
tics ho is thoroughly familiar. The
entire transmlssourl country , which
the Union Pacific han exploited com
mercially , Darlow has exploited with
his pen and through him the artist
with his brush. This vast empire has
for years been the back yard of this
man's pastime. Over every foot of its
boundless area , so to speak , ho has
traveled and retravelert and on every
phase of its character lie has written
and today ho has a library full ol
books on the west , many of which were
written either by him or under his ( ! !
rection and for scores of others he
has complied the data. Darlow , in fact ,
has been recognized these many years
as an authority on the great west
and his works have been sought fat
and wide.
Touch of the Artist.
A man of critical tastes , he has
given to his works the touch of the
artist , both in his own literary style
and in the selection of his Illustrations-
Because of his penetrating research
the wonderful works of nature in the
Yellowstone , the Rockies , the Sierras ,
on the Pacific and oven on the great ,
fertile prairies of Nebraska have been
made to appear in their actual form ,
unfolding wiSh mfnutest simplicity ,
stratum by stratum , the layers of na
ture's handiwork.
As a statistician Darlow has never
been as ambitious as Mulhall , perhaps ,
yet seriously , he has taken some rank.
The farmers , business men and educators
caters who have had to gather informa
tion of crops , soil and resources of
Nebraska , have long appreciated this
fact. His annual and periodical crop
and soil bulletins and his compiled
works have for years filled a largo
sphere In the Industrial and commer
cial life of the state.
Mr. Darlow has achieved some dis
tinct successes in the line of special
advertising for his road. His Lucln-
Ogden cut-off enterprise was perhaps
his greatest. When that marvelous
piece of railroad bridging Salt Lake
was formally opened , E. II. Harrlman
took a trainload of railroad officials
and newspaper men of all parts of
the United States as his guests out
throughout the west , over the cut-oft
and as far as the eastern boundry line
of California. This was Darlow's op
portunity. To him was delegated the
business of entertaining the newspaper
men and how well ho did that was told
and retold In every publication of con *
sequence in the country.
No Limit to Space ,
It waa Bold that Darlow secured foi
the company , the Union Pacific , al
kast ' " < tun1 wi-i'ds of free advertising
'i- ' the result of this trip. That was
foolixh 1'orlmps oui > 7i. ! ( > 00 words
wiTO published at Iho Mini' exploit
Ing the trip ami what It opened up
( > those aboard , but It would bo Im
possible to oHllnmto tno thousands of
words later written and the thouHiindu
of Illustrations printed as a direct ro-
suit of that great feat of advortlBlng
Onlly papers , weeklies , monthly mag-
a/.lnoH were full of the matter for
months , because It was good matter ;
It made most valuable reading , but It
cannot bo denied that It made excel-
lout advertising. The perfection of
this gigantic scliome of advertising
Involved a task of Immense proportions
tions and require ! skill In the hand
ling that was a Hcloncr within Itaolf.
Then' are a few advertising men
In the country , who like Mr.
I > arlow , have made their vo
cation a science and among ( huso he
holds a high rank. Recently St. Elmo
Lewis , the noted advertising agent of
Michigan , conceived the Idea of form
ing a select organ I/at Ion of such ad
vertisers and he wrote a personal letter -
tor to Mr. Darlow , Inviting his co
operation. This company Is composed
of about fifteen or twenty and will
hold one mooting a year In a central
point of the United States , where bus
iness and social matters are to bo dis
cussed.
Dahlman Strongest Candidate.
O'Neill Democrat : The race for
the governorship In Nebraska this
year Is fcolng to bo a most Interesting
and exciting contest. H Is apparent
that Governor Sheldon Is much strong
er than Taft in Mils state. The Dem
ocrats have three men Reeking the
nomination , Ashton C. Shallenbergcr ,
George W. Berge and James C. Dahl
man , and in choosing among them wo
should sec that the man selected Is
the man that will make the host nice
nnd the best governor when elected.
Shallenberger is well known In Ne
braska , having mad o the race two
years ago against Sheldon and was
defeated. Ho is a very able man , a
good speaker and well equipped to
hold office of such prominence.
Berge , who has been a candidate for
Iho nomination of 'governoror ' a
number of years , is a man of weak
personalty. As a lawyer and an edi
tor lie has not been eminently success
ful. He has few close personal friends'
his apparently egotistic manner being
repellant , yet ho Is undoubtedly sin
cere In his advocacy of democratic
principles. He is a good public
speaker , but in power can only bo
likened to an engine having an ex
haust exceeding its boiler capacity
when he makes a speech he requires
a long rest before making another.
James C. Dahlman appears for the
first time as a candidate for a state
office. Dahlman is a man of strong
personality , absolutely honest , frank
and fearless. He Is a Nebraska pion
eer and has made his way to the front
alone and unaided. Ho is a shrewd
business man , and throughout his ca
reer In western Nebraska , and his
many years as commission merchant
in South Omaha , has retained the high
est esteem of thos witli whom ho has
had business dealings. He is the best
mayor Omaha ever had. Both conv
merclnllyy and financially Omaha nev
er made such strides as under his firm
administration. He has his faults like
the other candidates , but they are un
concealed his frankness Is proverbial.
Ho believes In the licensed saloon as
against prohibition so does Sheldon.
Two years ago Sheldon received the
united support of the liquor interests
in his race for governor Dalilman
would divide this support witli him in
a race this year. This Is not an argu
ment , but a statement of conditions
political. Dahlman has a legion ol
warm personal friends throughout
every portion of Nebraska men who
have known him since the days of
wagon trails in this state , and men
who would lead a strong campaign for
his election. In our judgment , after
a careful review of the situation , we
believe Dahlman Is many thousam
votes stronger In Nebraska than either
of his onnoncnts. should he be callei
upon at the primaries to make the
race.

Sioux Falls , S. D. , Aug. 21. Spocla
to The News : A salary of $50 pe
month and board Is offered by th
managers of the Wolf Crook Monnim-
Ito colony In Hiitchlnson county for a
good nialo teacher who will teach the
colony school during the coming yoar.
Last year the colony school had to bo

of the colonists to secure a suitable

teacher can bo secured. The colony

'ho News : The opening to luimiv
toad settlement of Trlpp county will

and as can bo found In one body any *
vhoro In the world. The country lw
; ontly undalatlng and covered witli
itiffalo and salt grasses. The soil
H deep , rich black loam , very pro-
uctlvo and very fertile and will grow
romcndous crops. The country l
veil watered by more than a doveic
argo crooks and the Koya Palm and
Vhlto rivers and has an abundant
ainfall. Deeded land In Trlpp county
B now soiling at from $18 to $30 per

irlco from the government for the *
anils to he opened to settlement will
10 $0 per aero for all land filed upon

It is needless to Kay that the opon-
ng of Trlpp county to homestead
settlement will create the greatest-
and rush in the history of tin ?
Tnltod States. This will be one of
lie last chances for a poor man to BO.-
euro n farm and home which IB cor-
aln to make him a fortune In u few
ears.
At the same time that this vast
> ody of land Is thrown open to home
steaders , the government will also
ocate and survey several now town-
sites , one of which will he the county
seat of the new county soon to ho or
ganized , and sell the lots at auction ,
t is thought those townsitos will bo
ocatod along the line which will bis
followed by the Northwestern rail
road when they begin the construc-
lon of this branch on through to the
Hack Hills. It is expected that large
lumbers of Investors will secure lo
cations In these now towns and that
wo or three of them will bo cities
of a couple of thousand inhabitants
as soon as opened. Particularly wilt
he county seat of the new county
spring into prominence as a yomifS
municipality.

Railroad Notes.
Sioux City Tribune : Papers in the
eastern part of Iowa have It that the
Northwestern road ts preparing to
build the long delayed extension be
tween Alden and Eagle Grove , polnt-
ng to the work going forward on the
old Chicago , Iowa & Minnesota line ,
northwest of Alden , for proof. Years
ago the C. I. & M. road was incor
porated for the purpose of building
a line from Alden to Eagle Grove *
and possibly further north and west.
This was before the Northwestern
absorbed the old Chicago , Iowa & Da
kota road. The merging company
now has a gang of laborers at worlc
on the old C. I. & M. grade putting
the fences In shape , cutting the
woods and generally cleaning up.
Others arc of the opinion that the *
company is doing the work only tr >
maintain its rights to the property
until such time as It Is ready to inako
use of the grade for the long con
templated extension.
