A LINCOLN VIEW.
Comment on the Norfolk Lawyer WheNever
Never Dom an Overcoat.
Tlio Norfolk lawyer who never
VVIMIS an overcoat haw been innilu the
theme of an editorial In tlio Lincoln
Star , occasioning the following coin-
infill from Iho Star editor :
There's a lawyer In Xorlolk , Nob. ,
who , according to The News of that
fni'ver \ \ wears an overcoat ; who
jii'Nri wears a vest ; and who wears
.rtiimmorwoiglit garments all winter.
"What's iiioto , he could afford an ovor-
i-oat it In- wanted to. Ho used to have
ih itiouinntlsin when ho bundled up ,
inn now he's "Mr. Well and Strong"
Which leads us to remark that the
ne man doesn't "bundle up" as ho
used lo And neither do the women
ltvsh warmly afi In the years.gone
t > > . It Is rather a common thing for
tueii to wear throughout the winter
tionihs iindeiclolhing of medium
v.i'igbl , and there are several in Lin-
rnlti who sternly refuse to burden
i -iiM'lvi-s with overcoats. One well
Hnown man of this city not only re-
J'nsi-s to protect his ears or nock , his
chest or any other portion of his aunt-
omj be > oml the garments required by
llu- rules of society and the laws of
the land , but finds leal comfort In
walking In the snow barefooted before
i-olni ; to bed and would rather expose
ills brow to a frosty moon than bask
Sn the sunshine of noonday.
\oi many years ago the average
yiun brought out his fur cap and his
oar-muffs , his overshoes and pulse-
warmers , and wore them from the time
illie llrst snow fell until the crocuses
jpeoped up In the spring. Ono doesn't
ilm\o to beery old lo remember the
Sieavy scarfs and fur collars and yarn
mil lens , but the grandmothois no
.longer employ their time In knitting
" 'warm things" for the menfolks.

Perhaps this WIIH the object of such a
unique proposal , if It WIIH it suc

what caused Mr. Kerbel to change his
mind. Perhaps he had good reasons.

THE HORSE LIFTS THE LOAD.
Dr. Mackay Decides Horse Neither
Pulls Nor Pushes Wagon.
Norfolk , Nob. , .Inn 11. Hdltor N'ows :
Does a horse push or pull a load ? This
Is the question a Sioux City dally
paper has been recently discussing.
The question is Inadequate. More
pertinent would It bo to Inquire , does
the horse lift the load ? The power In
a horse , or , as It Is technically called ,
the force of traction , Is operated
through the logs acting as lovers upon
the fulcrum of the spine. Of COUIMK
we know that the contraction of mus
cles moves those levers. The British.
Canadian and other governments have
spent large sums of money to do <
t ermine many points of dispute regard
ing the horse , but evidently these re
porls are not available for the editor
of the Sioux City paper. That the
liorso cannot push a heavy load has
boon demonstrated by placing the
horse behind the load and applying a
purely pushing force from his shoul
ders and body. The largest load was
moved when part of the load was
placed upon the animal's back thus
bringing Into use the lifting force of
the levers. It was also determined
that ( o move a heavy load a horse
must himself have weight , a consid
erable percent of which need only be
fat. It has also been settled that two-
thirds the force of traction comes
from the hind quarters of a horse.
Very truly ,
.1. II. Mackay.
Martin Reforms.
Plainvlow Republican : Martin Sorensen -
enson made a resolution to give up
the use of tobacco. Ills system fs
soaked In thirty years of continual
smoking and how much there will be
left of him after he gets the nicotine
eliminated . Is hard at present to say
but It will not be much. He Is as
uneasy as an old maid on the last day
of leap year.
The New Postmaster.
Ilattle Creek Enterprise : RW. .
Richardson took charge of the liattlo
Creek postofflco Tuesday morning and
has since been devoting his time to
famlllarl/.lng himself with the workIngs -
.
Ings of the office. He announces that
there will bo no radical changes made
at present. Postage stamps will re
main about the same price , though to
make a good showing for the first
quarter's business under his manage
ment he is offering three stamps for
a nickel. Miss May Willis will con
tinue to receive all kicks registered
and read such postals as may be of
general Interest. May the now post
master have occasion to lick nothing
but stamps.
Railroad News.
George Heilman , who has for many
years boon -the efficient telegraph op
erator at the Northwestern passenger
station at West Point , has been promoted
meted to the charge of the company's
station at Crowoll.
Will Harrlinan's acquisition of the
New York Central carry with It the
control of the Northwestern us Indi
cated In Sunday's papers ? It Harrl-
man to bo really "king" in the railroad
world with an unbroken chain of
roads ' from the Atlantic to tlie Paci
fic , with the New York Contial with
.
its four rails from New York to Buf
falo and Its splendid road on to Chicago
cage , the Northwestern with Its
double tracks from Chicago to Omaha
and the Union Pacific and the South
ern Pacific completing the chain
across the country ? With the North
western an out and out Harrlman
road it would seem that the much
talked of Pacillc coast extension of
the road would be dropped for all
time and that Norfolk would never
see coast bound trains passing
through the city. The reports that
Harrlman has gained control of the
Now York Central are denied by
President Brown of that road.

prevailed.

The iirst ice cutting or the year is
"on. "
George Stalcup , who annually con
tracts wKh a number of the larger
private consumers , had men at work
hauling ice Monday morning. The
work of cutting ice began Sunday.
This ice is being obtained from the
vicinity of the sugar factory.
Last week the Ice ran from eight
to ten Inches and each succeeding
night of frost has added to Its depth.
This will give between twenty and
thirty of the "unemployed" around the
town an opportunity to go to work.
This year It Is possible that if the
ice will stand for It the cut this year
will bo In slight In excess of 1.500
tons of natural Ico.
The state hospital requires an oven
million pounds of the necessity to
carry them through the heat of sum
mer , while the brewery vaults and Ice
houses call for about 1,000 tons of
natural Ice between them. There nro
also several smaller sawdust packed
storages scattered over town.
Retail Ice dealers will start at once
to gather in the Ice "crop. "
