TOLD GEORGE ADE , "GO AHEAD. "
Mr. Savage Was Taken With Idea of
Pay Based on Middle West.
The most notable success on the
American stage In recent years Is
George Ado's quaint comedy , "The
County Chairman , " which comes to the
Auditorium Saturday. It Is a play
that has no frills or furbelows , but
faithful pictures of life In a middle
western village as It was In the early
'SO's.
George Ado , the author , recently
said : "It always seemed to mo there
was a fund of excellent material right
nt our door. Why bother about foreign
problem plays which are foreign In
every sense to the American under
standing ? I know the country people
of the mldllo west , loved them , was
brought up among them and still spend
my happiest hours In their society. I
happened to suggest to Mr. Savage
that I thought an Interesting play
might bo made from the characters
one meets In the old-fashioned commu
nities. He said : 'Go ahead ! ' and
that's all there was to It. "
Mr. Ado might have added that
"Tho County Chairman" Ims been
greeted as the greatest American play
of the day.
Try Dally Nowa Want Ad.
Just Another Nature Fake.
Another nature fake has been ex
posed.
For some weeks past Indians from
the South Dakota reservations have
boon outlined In building up n largo
and prosperous trade In Indian wines ,
beaded moccasins and other trinkets
In Norfolk and other north Nebraska
towiiH. People passing through Nor
folk at the depots have been liberal
purehaHorH and the noble red man has
waxed prosperous.
Indian Is Commercial.
But the Indian IH commercial.
Let the muck rakors laugh again.
Yesterday a traveler from Now
York , quite- delighted with the west ,
Htopped off the Northwestern long
enough to nmko liberal puiThiiHos of
an Indian brao. "How very wontorn , "
Biild the Now Yorker , "lloio from the
uoblo red man , close by his native
prairies , wo can buy his ancient wares
made by the patient hands of his wo
men folks. " '
The Now Yorker might have made
his purchases at homo.
Indian Goods Made In New York.
For the Indian goods woio made In
Now York.
This came to light recently when an
Indian who has been making his
headquarters In Norfolk received anew
now consignment of goods from a Now
York manufacturing establishment.
He paid the express company $28 , took
the huge box and was soon at work.
The Indian goods can bo nuulo more
cheaply by machinery but It requires
the personal appearance of tlio Indian
salesman to make the shop-mado
goods "real. " "I bought them of a
western Indian myself , you know. "
Denies the Story.
Tlio strange story of Mrs. Elmer
Lundburg , printed at considerable
length In the Carroll Index , of which
Mr. Lundbtirg was formerly editor , Is
denied by the Atkinson Graphic , which
prints adoption papers from Franklin
county , Now York.
The Graphic says :
The sensational article appearing In
many Nebraska papers In which Mr.
and Mrs. Hiram Shutts , well known
and respected residents of this city ,
nro charged with the crime of kidnap
ping Mrs. Eva Blanche Lundburg , nee
Eva Blanche Shutts , thirty-three years
ago , from her mother , Mrs. Sarah Ben
nett of Malone , Franklin county , Now
York , and kept her from her lawful
heritage of a good homo and the kind
Influence of a cultured loving mother
nil these years , nro not borne out by
the facts , reluctantly given , to a repre
sentative of the Graphic after Mr. and
Mrs. Shutts had road the accusations
against them.
In 1S75 Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Shutts
residing at Malone , Franklin county ,
N. Y. , when some charitable inclined
ladles persuaded her to accept the
care and responsibility of rearing a
little two weeks old girl a waif of the
county , abandoned by Its mother ,
Sarah Bennett , and raise It to woman
hood ; having no children of their own
they accepted of the charge , bringing
her to their homo on the first of July ,
1875. They continued to live there for
two and one-half years from that date
when they moved to Lyons , la. , where
after a residence of nearly eight
years they came to Atkinson and
made their home , keeping up a cor
respondence by mall with former
friends and relatives nt Malone.
When they arrived hoio Blanche was
given their name and trcnted as a
daughter as can be attested to by all
of their neighbors. She was given nil
the advantages that our schools per
mit graduating from our high school
with honors.
In 1903 she became engaged to El
mer Lundburg , the editor of the Carrel
rol Index , and was given In marriage
to him by them at their home after
Mr. Lundburg had been informed of
the existing relations between them.
That Blanche appreciated tholr lov
ing care and kindness Is shown by the
letter written by Mr. Lundburg in
answer to ono writen by them to him
disclosing her parentage. The adop
tion papers bear out the truth of their
statement and sympathy for this aged ,
kind hearted , couple whoso act of
charity brings grief and sorrow to
them In their declining years , is freely
expressed by their friends and neigh
bors who have known them for the
past twenty years.
His Soul Dead for Thirty Years.
Chicago , Nov. 21. The mother of
Don Barclay , who is under arrest
charged with robberies amounting to
more than $1,000 today offered an un
usual excuse for her son's evil pro
pcnsltlcs.
"My son's soul Is dead , " she de
clared. "It has been dead for more
than 29 years. It died when lie was
1 year old and had an attack of ma-
fever that left him Irresponsible.
Since then I have given up frying
to do anything with him. "

spoon and reached over to the place
opposite. A hotel girl saw the travelIng -
Ing man gathering in the knife , fork
and spoon and reported to the pro
prietor. The latter wont after nn of
ficer and soon subjected the traveler
to the Indignity of a search. Of
course none of the supposedly missing
property was found. But the word
spread and the Monowl hotel soon
found that traveling men were avoid
ing It with great care. So In a few
days the doors were closed. But It
Is not supposed that Monowl , which
'is a prosperous town in a prosperous
junction of Boyd and Knox counties
will remsdii long without n hotel.

ly heavy to require two sections of
the No. 5 and C.

j The County Chairman.
The political comedy "Tho County
Chairman , " proHontod at the Audi
torium Saturday night , by a largo and
capable company , was seen for the
first time In Norfolk , giving local thea
ter patrons an opportunity of seeing
that the praise which has been given
this typical American piny by George
Ado was well merited.
The audience , while not as largo as
the nature of the production and the
scale of prices warranted , was still of
fair proportions.
The play was laugh provoking. The
story was near enough homo to bo
easily appi eclated.
W. T. Chattorton , as the county
chairman , headed a largo company
well fitted on the whole for their re
spective parts In Ado's delectable
comedy. Chattel-ton's own part might
have boon written especially for him ,
so easily did ho slip into the attributes
so naturally piled by Ado upon his
central character.
Many of the political scones were
unique and all merited hearty laughs.
Dry Goodn Going Up.
Rising prices In the wholesale dry
goods markets , indicating final re
covery from the depressing effect of
the panic of n year ago , are reported
by A. L. Kllllan , who just returned
from a business trip to Chicago. While
the prices will continue to go up , Mr.
Killlan says that It is not thought
that the high level before the flurry of
a year ago will bo quite reached.
Retail purchasers will not , however ,
note the advance yet. Prices next
spring In many Instances will be lower
than a year ago because most of the
goods sold last spring were purchased
by the merchants before the decline
In prices.
To get In ahead of the cotton goods
market , 'which he found rising , Mr.
Killlan ordered goods which will not
see his shelf until the first of the
year shipped at once to Norfolk ,
where the goods will bo stored against
the rising market.
The outside trade of the Chicago
wholesale houses was good , Mr. Kll
llan said , at this time.
