Of Norfolk's now branch ice cream
factory. Ihe Slonx City Tribune says :
"llulehlnson Hros. company Is pre
paring to open a branch at Norfolk.
Neb. The new house will not bo in
operation before next March , but
plans are being made now. Norfolk
has been chosen both because it ap
peared lo be Ihe ibest possible point
from which to handle the new terri
tory around P.onesteel and CJregorj
ami because il is a good station from
which to get cream. The llutehiiuion
factory on West Third street lias had
some trouble In getting enough cream
and the new station is expected to bo
.1 valuable assistance in this particu
lar. Part of the additional business
will bo taken care of at the Sioux
City factory. The Cedar Haplds
branch , formerly opened , has been
Kold to F. D. Hutchinson. The com
pany does not contemplate any res
taurant or bakery business such as
il lias here on Fourth street. "
Denial is made by Hie management
of the Norfolk state hospital of the
rather sensational story that a Miss
Alma Servlue , a recent patient , was
driven insane by the taunts and
bimbs of her fellow pupils In an
Omaha music studio. The girl's par
cuts live at Oakland , where she has
been returned. The girl. In the story
Kent out from Omaha , "eamo to Om
aha and became the pupil of a leading
piano teacher. Funds soon ran short ,
and In her extremity ambition trium
phed over pride and the girl began
work In the house of Mrs. Frances
Comfort. She was welcomed as u
member of the family. In exchange
for household services hho received
wages and the use of the piano. Her
progress was marked and became the
talk of her fellow students. She was
iuvih'il to their homes and became
popular One day bumconc told of
the glilh einpioiiuent Site was drop
ped from the social list of her mates.
Soon they objected to her presence In
tlie studio. The music teacher re
quested her to come for practice at
hours when the others wore uot
then She felt tin humiliation and
( old her intimate trlends of tin snuhH
Hlii- was coiiHttitillv subjected lo , and
frequently cried over them. Then Ihe
music teacher asked her to enter the
iimllo by the side entrance and hint-
) d her presence wan not desired , and
.hla was the crushing blow , hi a
jui-Ht of fury her mind gave way. She
lestroyed munle and the t'nriilHlilims
-f Ihe studio. She nmlied home , .sea'- '
ed herself at the piano and began to
phi } . HOIII-H pati.sed as she wildly Im
provlsed. Late in the night the play
ing came to a cloxe. Springing to her
feel the girl began to rave. "I tun
a musician ! " she cried. "They can
not tell me I am but a hired girl ! " Al !
oflilch \ IB more dramatic than tin
explanation made by Ihe hospital au
thorities that the girl's humility took
lo a religions turn and had no connec
tion with music.

A local land agent sold lifty-threc
farms in 1007. This year ho has not
disposed of a single quarter section.
He has made some farm trades and
aold some town lots tills year , but has
not sold any farms outright. He at
tributes the slump entirely to one
cause the panic of last fall , which
has checked purchases of improved
farms by eastern farmers. "It is true , "
he says , " ( hat Nebraska is prosperous-
and its farmers are in better llnancial
condition than the same class in tin-
east. Hut Nebraska farmers are not
buying of each other , and we land
agents have to depend on eastern in
vestors , who are astonishingly feu
this year. Al present the trend ol
eastern investment is in Hie directioi
of thn Texas and the southwestern
country , where lands are cheap be
cause tney are raw and undeveloped.
A failure of crops for omor l\vo si-a
sons in Ilie southwestern count r.v
would tremendously revive the de
niand for the higher priced Nebraska
lands , which can be relied on lo raise
crops , besides being nearer lo mar
ket. " It has also been suggested thai
the prospective opening of the Rosebud -
bud cheeked real estate transfers dur
ing the fall and summer.

Annual "Conl Fnmlnc" Comes.
Chicago , Ucl. W. Managers of Chi-
ago railroads declare there will be
mother coal famine in tlie northwest
I Ills winter and thai they see no way
lo prevent it. This prediction Is due
to the fact that generally in tlie north
west there is an unpreparedness for
wlnler , as even less fuel has been pro
vided than usual. That this is the
fault of the railroads Is strenuously de
nied , and II is purposed lo give full
publicity to the facts so that the rail
roads will not be blamed for the fa
mine when it comes. It Is stated dial
managers of all railroads extending
Into the northwest began earlj in the
summer to warn the coal dealers of
that region to prepare for winter.
