sighted and the chase was at times
fierce. Once live wolves were sighted
at one time , and the packs divided ,

Valentino Republican : H seems that
the Northwestern company , in order to
straighten Its road , will need to re
locate a portion of Its line upon a new
right-of-way over a small portion of the
military reservation east of town. Not
withstanding Its railroad is now upon
the reservation rightfully by an act
of congress. In order to relocate , an
other act is required. This may mom :
some delay unless congress shall acl
" .peedlly. all these great public
works where companies are proceed
ing lawfully , and the result must be tc
the benefit of the general public , ef
forts at Improvement for that purpose
should be promptly aided always , o
course , under such legal safeguards ai
are proper. Matters are liable to hi
much more lively in and about Valen
tine the coming spring and it Is hoped
that the Northwestern company will
near no unimportant part of the bur-
len which shall bring prosperity about.
Congress should act and act quickly.

NOW ON HERRICK CASE.
Not Reached by Judgc Welch Until
the Afternoon Mrs. Rotter Wins ,
The Herrlck case , the most Import
ant of the suits to be beard by Judge
Welch In Norfolk this week , was not
reached until Wednesday afternoon at
the court session which Is being hold
In the city hall. Many witnesses , In
cluding members of the Friday and
Durland administrations , were sum
moned into court lo testify as to de
tails of the dealings between the city
and Contractor Herrlck. Several
thons'-nd dollars are at stake.
The case was not taken up ttoonor
because the Illness of Court Reporter
Will Powers made It necessary to
secure a stenographer to take down
the testimony.
IK'fore the Herrlck case was
reached Judge Welch heard and took
under advisement the case of Gibson
vs. Manvlllo , a land transfer case from
Meadow Grove.
In the Rotter divorce case , Judge
Welch ordered the plaintiff , Mr.
Roller , to pay $100 temporary nllnionj
pending the trial of the case.
"UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES , "
Norfolk Will See Excellent Company
in This Piece.
"Under Southern Skies" Is one of
the series of plays by Lottie Mlalr
Parker which portray life in dlfYo.viit
sections of our country. 'I'b : irsi de
picting New lOngland life was ca'led
"Way Down lOast. " The second one.
"Under Southern Skies" was-- first
copyrighted as "Way Down South. " 11
was produced In London nt Messrs.
Galtl & Frohman's theater on Gctoocr
2l ! , 11101 , under the caption "Way-
Down South" or "Under Southern
Skies. " In this country , although
known under both titles , "t'nder
Soulhern Skies" has finally come to bo
used exclusively , as sub-titles are not
so much in favor as a single name.
"Under Southern Skies" now stands
without rival as a picture of south
ern life. Mrs. Parker is thoroughly
fiimiliar with southern pe'ople , their
ci'stonu ' : and manner of Ihoughl , ami
pome of her closest friends Irivc b en
southerners. Mrs. Parker says that I
"Under Southern Skies" has a founda
tion in fact , for it was based upon
1
the romantic history of a young !
southern girl which was related to her i i
by one of these friends. Perhaps it is I !
Ibis underlying vein of Irulh and real
ity In the play that has given it such
vital force. Hut whatever the cause
the fact remains that "Under South
ern Skies" Is one of the best paying
attractions on the road today. Large
and enthusiastic audiences arc the rule
I wherever it Is presented and this , its
I eighth season , finds It enjoying grealei
popularity than ever. An unusually
large cast , twenty-three people , u employed -
, ployed in the presentation of the play ,
the stage settings are llflik < ! repro
ductions of the scenes in th sunny
soulli , and a Hallowe'en celebration is
reproduced , which surpasses auylhing
of the kind over seen upon the stage.
About Norfolk.
West Point Republican : In dealing
out Christmas presents in the way of
' political appointments governor-elect
Shallenbergor did not altogether forget
Cuming county. He has announced
the appointment of Dr. H. L. Wells of
this city to he first assistant in Uio
Norfolk asylum. It is a good position
with a salary of $1.500 and living ex
penses attached , but It Is very likely
that he will not accept it. Rumor has
it , that he would have been named for
superintendent had the Democratic
powers "That bo" in tills county given
his candidacy for that position cordial
and earnest support , instead of throwIng -
Ing Ice water on it.
f lowing Advocate : That Norfolk is
fasl growing in population was demon-
slrated in the local columns of The
y' ' News Tuesday. That paper contained
I the births of no loss than three boys
and three girls within the preceding
twenty-four hours. Wo presume that
the new arrivals as well as all the
other interested parties are gelling
along nicely. St. Pelor himself inusl
have wepl with Joy at the congralula-
llons ho received al Iho hands of tbt
happy parents for his impartiality tu
so evenly dividing up the sex.
Chadron Journal : E. C. Hycrly , the
baker , returned to the city Friday
morning with a bride , his newly wed-
led wife , who was Miss Jennie
Wheeler of Norfolk. Mrs. Uyerly
formerly lived In Chadron and Is a
most excellent young lady. Mr
IJyorly has been In Chadron but a few
months but he Is a most promising
young business man who has made
many friends. The Journal extends
congratulations.
Newman Grove Reporter : W. II
Weeks , editor of the Fremont News
has leased the plant of the Norfolk
Press and will turn It into a Demo
cratic weekly. The angel of Ibis of

newspaper In Newman Grove mail }
years ago.

ERD CASE TO JURY.

Mrs. llelsel. for killing Mrs. Krb's IIIIH
band , will be placed In the hands of
the Jury and a verdict Is expected to

appeal today , summarizing the evi
dence.
"Ho meant well , " Is an apology your
friends 'make for your mistakes ; It
Isn't an excuse.
In many respects It Is pleasant to
live In one community all your Urn ,
Hut there Is one serious drawback :
lOvery man , In spite of himself , accum
ulates a lot of enemies , who "talk"
aboul him and appear In his path
twenty times a day. Sometimes a
man accumulates so many enemies
that he Is willing to leave his friends
in order to yet rid of Ills enemies ,
and move to a strange country.

HIS FIRST REAL JOB S
Omaha , Neb. , Jan. 2. To the editor
of The News : Graduashun day has
past and wont and I've got a job as
bed steno. in a grosery store on north
Sixteenth. I didn't graduate ; I Just
Unlimited.
I can rite sborl-hand plenty fast
enuf to graduate , but they made a
feller road It , and there's where I fell
down. The faster I rite it. the slower
I read it after ils rlt ajid vice vorsy.
Don't Hko their old short-band c-nny-
way. I can whack It off almost ab
fast on the typo-writer and road it
without a hit of ( rubble , and what's
the lists of making a lot of turtol-tracks
you , nor nohoddy else can road and
then maluf fourteen mistakes to the
line transkribing your notes. 1 no
hundred dollar a niiinth stenogs. that
don't rite short-hand al all , and I
b'liovo I can be more use to my em
ployee to transfur Ills fhots dlrockt.
to the paper without onny middleman's
prollls.
The man I'm wurking for sad I'd do
all rite If I didcnt no shorthand , just
so I cud run a masheen and now ennf
not to sell a live cent box of crackers
for a dime , and cud cut off within
seven ounces of haf a pound of ehee/.e.
You sue I am not only bed steno. but
he has also made mo superuntondant
of his cracker and cheeze department.
This is my furst reel job and I'm
a going ; lo make good and make my
self so iudcspcnclhlo to my employee
that he wont bo able to do business
j without me.
My professor gave mo a motto card
when I left college that leeds , "Peo
ple who never do auy more that they
get paid for , never got paid for any
more than they do ! "
I've pinned II up behind my typewriter -
writer and I Intend to reed it every
morning. 1 in to get six dollars n
week nnd I'll bet I don't get paid for
enny more than I do. I'm lo have
ono mcel a day of crackers and chee/o
and pca-nuls and so fourth too if I
wanl U. But I've got to eat nt least
twice a day somewhere else.
The boss sed ho hired the lasl fel
ler ho had wllh Iho same undersland-
ing , only ho forgol to spossify thai
ho must gel lee tneels a day oulsldo
the store ; and so the feller et one
meel a day in the store and that lust
ed nil day , until finally ho got pall
and sallow and jhondlssy looking
from eating so monny pocnuts and
cheezo and now ho's sick wllh Iho
nowmonla ,
Sins I only haf to buy too mools a
day I believe 1 oughter save al loosl
too dollars a week out of my uallery.
Lot's see , that will be over $100 a
year wont It. Goo , I wundor how old
'
I'd bo before I'd bo as rich as Rocky-
feller nt that rate. I'll bet when ho
was a kid wurking on six a week he

Tllf t\po\\lit T th'.V ' llllM- ( It tllir-
store is the measliest old thing I e\tr
uitc > n Ilt > a Rfinlngioii No 1. and
,1)10 , ) clerk told me It was the furst
typewriter that over cum to Omaha.
It was all shot lo peeces when my
boss hot it for flvo dollars at a HOC-
kund hand store nnd being a kind of
a jack of all Irades ho wenl to wurk
and lixt It up so that it wnd run. That
was llfteeu years ago and b0 has bin
too busy to fix it onny sins that time.
It riles a. . line like this , and you haf
to use dubblo space all the limo or
the lines will run Into each uther.
The period has punched such deep
holes into the
rolling-pin that every
time you strike a period or a comma
It makes a hole in
the paper as big as
a hat-pin. If you get to rltlng more
than ton words a mlnnil on It the old
tipo-bar.s get tangled up and forget
lo go back when- '
whenthey b-long. I'm go
ing to get sum witch-haw. ! and rub
into Ils old Joints and see If that
won't limber H up a bit.
Mebbo sum kids thinks it don't
take much noilogo to sell crackers
and dieoze. Sposo they was selling
oheeze nt LT.c . a pound and Hinnono
cum in and ast for ten cents worth ;
how menny ounces wud they set Iho
scales at without stopping to llgger
or think more'n a ininnlt ?
Or sposo a farmer cum In with
three and a half duzzen eggs wurth
-7e a duzzon and wanted half of it
in crackers and half In chcoze iuid a
Ufle can of corn stirrup. How much
cheozo wud Ihe kid that thinks gro-
sery clerking a snap cut off ?
It luck me quite a while to lorn how
big a chunk to cut off for a pound
and not get too much. It don't make
enny difference if I don't get onuf.
The scale * Imllunce just as well , for
they've bin In the grosory business
almost as long as that typewrllor.
Their bearings must bo gelling
cheo7.y.
I asl the boss If I shuddont oil my
cheex.e scales , and he sedformoto let
'oin alone. If they past Iho Inspcck-
lor of wails and merziircs they ought
to pass mo all rlto. So I let them
alone , hul yesterday , when the boss
was to dinner. I trlde them , for I was
eurlus. I bret a pound wall from an-
ulhor ponr of scales nnd U wald just
a pound on my scales. Thai must
have bin iho way the scale Inspecktor
tcsled Ihom. I put on a shingel-nulo
nnd the boom went up , showing they
wudent way more than what was rite.
Then I uX a peoco of cheej-.o thai
wald Jus ; , a pound and cul off a ouiico
nnd a hnf nnd iho boom ballanct at a
pound. When I cut off moro It dropt.
What wud you do If you was mo and
dldont want to loozo your Job but
b'leoved onnesty is Iho bosl polllcy ?
