Arm Torn Off In Cornsheller. The right arm of Otto Carson , a young man living near Euola , was caught lu a cornsholler Thursday morning and literally torn out of the socket at the shoulder.

It was a self feeding machine. Corn became clogged and Carson reached in to start the corn. His hand was clutched and drawn In and before he could be re lieved the arm had been torn off. The How of blood from the wound seemed to stop of Its own accord. At llrst It was thought the Injured man would be taken to Omaha but the train had gone. Dr. Salter and Dr. Holden of Norfolk and Dr. Gadbols of Madison were summoned. At noon Frlflay Carson was resting fairly well. Ho was , of course , very weak , but physicians hold out hopes for his recovery. About That Horse. Editor News : The editor of the Wayne Democrat thinks that discus sing whether a horse lifts , pushes or pulls is "small occupation for an In telligent , community. " Ho should re member that small occupations are usually necessary before larger ones are undertaken. Before beginning work on the Panama canal Uncle Sam had to catch all the mosquitoes In that neighborhood by the tall and crack their heads off. Before ousting the plague from San Francisco the authorities had to catch the rats , and disinfect the germ laden lloas that they carried. Small occupation In deed , but necessary. How does the editor of the Democrat know that our discussion In The News may not ulti mately result in a solution of the vex ing problem of the balky horse , to which he refers , and be of untold value to future horse-owners. I maintain that the question of a horse's lifting , pulling , or pushing does not depend on "whether or not the horse is balky , by dad. " But the horse probably balks because he Is not sure whether he is required to lift , push or pull , "by dad. " Wouldn't the editor of a paper balk If his drivers ( subscribers and advertisers ) should say ho had a "pull" when In fact ho had to push like sin for every thing he got ? R. P. M. Lawmakers Are In Norfolk. Dr. Young , superintendent of the insane hospital here , received word from Lincoln Thursday that eighteen inetnberH of the legislature would be hero Friday noon to look over the hos pital In connection with proposed ap propriations that the Institution needs Three committees are represented In the visitors : the llnance and ways am. meant ) committee , the committee on public lands and buildings and the conduce on Insane hospitals.

First ballot on in09 convention : Fremont 112 ; Alliance 92 ; York 20 ; Wilbur f. . Second ballot : Fremont 185 ; Al liance 10. ) . The camel question would not down. Frowned on by the leaders of the state volunteer llrunio.ii and dis couraged by Fremont's official repre sentatives , the "wet" and "dry" issue still forced itself before the conven tion at the last moment when the question of locating the 1909 conven tion came up. Carry Banner Into Convention , Fremont a "wet" town was bidding against Alliance and York , both "dry. " Before the nominating speeches were made a Fremont delegate marched down to the front of the thea ter with a banner. It read , "Who wants to be a camel ? " Mayor Wolz Makes Bid. Mayor Wolz of Fremont In behalf of that city Invited the firemen to Fre mont. His talk was well received. Invitations were then read from Mayor C. C. Smith of Alliance , the Al liance Commercial club , Acting Mayor W. M. Wllldman of York and the York Commercial club. Rldflell Starts Fireworks. W. S. Rldgell of Alliance exploded the bomb. HIdgell la a prominent fireman and Is a fighter when he gets on the convention lloor. He invited the convention to Alliance and started off along the usual lines. Then he hit the dry question. He explained that Alliance was dis criminated against because the town was "dry. " He made caustic reference to the Fremont banner and to the camel Issue generally. Uidgell demanded to know whether or not the convention would endorse those things. If he did he served no tice that If Alliance asked for the fire men's convention next year It had better ask for the convention of "Ne braska Volunteer Booze Fighters. " Alliance Has Its Oasis. Then Ridgoll told the convention that if any fireman had to have some thing to drink when he came to Al liance he could get It. "If the town goes dry in the spring and it Is very doubtful there will still be something to drink there and if the saloons arc not open it will be free. In Alliance like any other dry you can get some thing to drink. " Alliance , he ex plained , had three clubs. Hut he didn't consider saloons In any way necessary to a firemen's con vention , the speaker declared. Alliance , Mr. Ridgoll concluded.was a town of 0,000 , the best town of its size In the state. It was to the asso ciation's advantage to go there In order to get in touch with new terri tory. Strike "Booze" From Record. Ridgell's words created a stir. J. C. Elliott of West Point took the lloor. It was the first time , he said , that the question of "booze" had ever been mentioned on the lloor of the convention. He depreciated it and moved that all reference to "booze" be stricken from the Alliance man's speech In the official record. A stenographer takes down a report of all convention transactions and this Is published In a pamphlet. The convention voted to strike from Its records all reference to the camel subject In Mr. Ridgoll's speech. And then on his suggestion It rejected the camel sign. Mayor Wolz spoke again. - "Come to us because It Is Fremont. Don't come because pf a camel sign. We are proud of the firemen and wo want you. " Offers Wilbur. T. W. Clements of Wilbur suggested that the convent'ois avoid n fight and go to Wilbur. Then they voted. Fremont won on the second ballot. Good Feeling Restored. After the result was announced good feeling was restored. Alliance was iuod natured and was satisfied with .no big vote polled. Rldgell made the vote unanimous. The Donrd of Control. Just before the selection of a eon- entlon place was taken up the result f the vote for the five members jf ho board of control was announced. The election resulted In the choice of George Howe of Fremont , Jacob iloohrlng of Soward. Robert Lewis of Humphrey , Fred Harrison of Grand Island and II. L. lioyeH of Hebron. Boyos won his place by getting nix more votes than Ilert Dennett of Fullerton - lerton , a retiring member of the board. L. C. Maun o ? Humbolt was the other defeated candidate. The vote stood : Howe 101 , Lewis 103. Goehrlng Ifi'.t ' , Harrison 150. lloyes 110 , Dennett KM , Mann 102. Committee for 1909. President Ilert Galley , just before the convention adjourned , announced his committees for 1909 as follows : Auditing committee : M. J. Sanders. Kearney ; W. P. McCuno , Norfolk ; L. F. Gottschalk.

Editor News : When your most valuable paper , The Norfolk Dally News , of January 15. reached Battle Creek and we saw the Hem stating that a little team work had been done by Intro duclng bills In both houses repealing the state wolf bounty law , there was something doing In town. By Satur day noon a petition was in circulation to our sate senator , Hon. Charles A. Randall , and another petition to rep resentative , Hon. Lew J. Young , both of Newman Grove. Madison county , Nebraska , reading thus : "We , the undersigned residents of Madison county , Nebraska , realizing tint the removal of the bounty on wolves would necessarily work great Injury to stockmen and farmers , re spectfully ask and urge that you do all possible within your power to defeat feat any legislation tending toward the removal or reduction of said bounty. " Two hundred and twenty-six voters signed the petition and it was not carried two blocks on Main street. A great many in town have not had a chance to sign. All classes are sigiv Ing it bankers , merchants and far niors and we hope the people in other towns and other counties in north Nebraska will take it up and roll in a remonstrance that will reach from here to Lincoln. Very truly yours , L. B. Baker. Father Rueslng to Washington. West Point , Neb. , Jan. 23. Special to The News : Very Rev. Joseph Rues Ing of West Point , a member of the state board of charities and correc tion left Friday evening for Washing ton , D. C. , in response to an Invita tion from President Roosevelt , as representing Nebraska as a delegate to a national convention In relation to the care of dependent children which will be held In the New Willard hotel at Washington on January 25 and 2C. On Monday a reception of the visiting members will lie held at which the president will take part , to bo fol lowed by a banquet. On Tuesday the convention will bo In business session. Father Ruesing's long connection with charitable work In this diocese and state Is recognized as eminently fitting him to take a prominent part In the deliberations of this body , which com prises the best known men of the na tion In the line of charitable reform. Father Rneslng also expects at thl ? time to visit the scenes of his early pastorates In the state of New Jersey. Banquet the Climax. Norfolk and the volunteer firemen of Nebraska divided compliments at a banquet given Thursday evening at Marquardt hall In honor of the vis itors. Norfolk was praised for her spirit of hospitality , the firemen for the splendid nature of the services rendered by them to the cities and towns of the state. The banquet , executed successfully as to all details and reflecting no little credit on local committees , was the climax of the convention. The decora tions were elaborate and decidedly tasteful , the banquet proper worthy of the compliments It received and the orchestra music during the evening provocative of merited applause. The banquet was served by a score or more young ladles of this city. The capac ity of Marquardt hall was taxed to provide tables to seat all In at tendance. C. E. Burnham Toastmaster , C. E. Burnham of Norfolk presided over the banquet as toastmaster , a duty which ho as usual successfully executed. The banquet did not begin until after the play at the Auditorium and It was exactly nt midnight that Mr. Dnrnham Introduced the first speaker , Hon. W. W. Young of Stan- ton. Story of the Hero. Senator Young told the story of the hero , dwelling upon the heroic ago which had its climax in Homer. After giving the hero his place in history , ho declared that there wore no greater achievements In heroism than those of the Ilremen whoso acts of heroism are recorded only in the dally press. Senator - ator Young spoke with peculiar force and eloquence. Senator Allen Praises Norfolk. Explaining that his speeches wen noted not for eloquence but for their .ongth and calling attention to the iact that for llfteon years he held the long distance record for speech mak ing In the senate , Sen. Allen of Madi son proved that he could also deliver a short address , eloquent and to the point. He gave rank to the heroine , emphasized duty and lauded the prlv ate hero of the ranks. Praising the llremoir for the Inestimable service they rendoorod In saving life and property. Senator Allen classed them with the men who brave their breast to bat tle , to the naval heroes who float the seas nnd to the heroes of the railroad service. He advocated legislation that would provide for one or two paid flremon In every town and for a state fund for the benefit of those dependent on firemen who might bo killed In sor- vice. Senator Allen spoke of the welcome which wont with the hospitality ex tended by the people of the "gate city" as he characterized Norfolk. Norfolk was the "gate city , " he said , because as the metropolis of this part of the state , It already had all the railroads of this section and wanted more. Burt Mapes Pleases. Hurt Mapes , to the toast "Tho VisIting - Iting Firemen , " spoke In a lighter vein. No city was prouder of Its vol unteer lire department than Nor folk. Norfolk also , he said , loved all the firemen's friends and was proud to entertain the convention. "Wo have burned an automobile and set lire to a private livery barn and all for your benefit. " In closing he paid a tribute to the late Harry Spauldlng as a fireman. First President Speaks. J. C. Cleland of Fremont , the be loved nosier of Nebraska firemen , spoke but briefly. He felt called on , he said , to pay proper tribute to the courtesy and royal welcome which the firemen were always accorded In Nor folk. The compensation to firemen was not In dollars and cents , but In a common belief that Mioir efforts were lu"U > st ml that In practice they soiight only that which they were organized' ' for , the protection of life and property. He referred to the death of A. C. Hull of Fremont. Tyler Competes With Alarm. M. D. Tyler of Norfolk , speaking on the "Would-Be Fireman , " was forced Into competition with a lire alarm. Ho met the competition successfully , however , with a number of clever take offs and with a discussion of the question of nationalities as making for good firemen. J. C. Elliott of West Point responded to the closing toast. E. A. Bullock , who was to have spoke on "Alarms , " was called out of the city on business and could not be present. Cane for Mark Martensen. The banquet closed with the pre sentation to Mark M. Martensen of Fremont , the retiring president of the state association , with a handsome gold headed cane. The presentation speech was made by Senator Young of Stanton. Mr. Martensen replied with a considerable show of feeling. FALSE ALARM DURING BANQUET. Fire Whistle Blows During Banquet , Causing Confusion. Towards the close of the firemen's banquet at Marquardt hall , the screach of the fire whistle brought confusion among the fire fighters gathered at the banquet table. The Norfolk firemen left the hall and found that a false alarm had been turned in. The matter will be thor oughly sifted and suspicions against a member of a certain visiting delegation tion will bo run down if possible. General - oral indignation was expressed over the Incident. The alarm was turned In over the telephone , the man stating that he was a Fremont fireman and that the blaze was back of Pllger's bakery. M. D. Tyler was speaking at the time. He resumed his address when the room was quieted and held the attention of the flrmen over the com petition of the supposed fire. FRIDAY FACTS. C. M. Hazen Is home from Madison.

Following Is the clip ping : "Lifting a net containing over two carloads of fish weighing from five to forty pounds each was the unusual sight witnessed by Leo Mayor 'and ' Leonatd Xelsler at the fishing [ gronndu near Brownsville of George Holzhninmor of this city , and Joseph 1 and Thomas Williams of Brownsville. It was u great sight to see those big fish , weighing from live to forty pounds , roll In. ' said Mr. Meyer. 'I could not ste a game tlsh among them. They were all carp and buffalo. The net SOD ft ot long and there were 02,000 pounds of fish In It. They had four loams , some of them with two sleds , hauling the catch to the cars for two days. The llsh wore shipped just as they wore to Now York , a man being on the fishing grounds to buy them. It figured there that over $11.000 would be realized on the cateh and this sounds pretty good but they have made many li haul where they haven't made expenses. The Industry seems to bo .booming down that way. 1 saw a bin with 100,000 pounds of bullheads In It and as many more had been taken out and shipped away. There was a big force of men there cleaning HIOIII. Theae llsh are being shipped to Chicago. " ' Ruth Bryan Sues for Divorce. Lincoln , Neb. , Jan. 22.

Cicarwater , Nob. . Jan. 23. Special to The News : Corn is king. Alfalfa Is retreating from the Elkhorn valley. A dozen years or so ago Klnf Corn was threatened with a rival to his throne. The air was full of talk about alfalfa. Marvelous tales wore told of ? 20 , $30 and even $ -10 per acre made In a single year from that wonderfully productive plant known In Europe as Lucerne , in America as alfalfa. Even yet we hear of remark able profits made In Kansas or Cali fornia , or some other state , but in the Elkhorn valley alfalfa talk Is quiet and king corn monopolizes the stage. Alfalfa on Huffman Ranch. One of alfalfa's greatest strongholds , and in fact the largest tract of land devoted to Its culture to he seen from the Northwestern in Nebrasa , was be tween Noligh and Clearwater. Five op ten years ago nearly one thousand acres of alfalfa fields could be scon from the car windows In riding from ' Clearwater to Neligh. Practically all of the arable land on the Huffman ranch , beginning just out of Neligh' ' and extending several miles up the track , was in alfalfa. Fully -100 acris' , ' near Clearwater , mostly east an 1 . southeast of town , were devoted to Its culture. Of this amount over 250 acres have boon plowed up and planted to corn or other grain in the past throe years , and more of It Is to he turned under this spring. Of the tract of land formerly known as the Huffman ranch The News cor respondent is reliably Informed that fully two-thirds has been plowed under and Is now devoted to other crops. Corn More Profitable. Does this mean that alfalfa Is a failure In the Elkhorn valley ? No , assuredly not. It means that condi tions have been such in the past few years that the raising of corn nnd oats Is more profitable. Ask a farmer why he plowed up his alfalfa Held and planted It to corn and ho will tell you It was because it pays better , acre for acre and labor for labor. This may be explained in part by the following conditions : 'The Reason Why. First Corn Is worth four times as much as it was twelve years ago and othc-r grains In proportion. Hay of all kinds has not shared to such an extent - tent In this phenomenal raise. Second Alfalfa , after It has boon' ' mown a few years tends to kill out in ( the winter along the valley. The win ter of two years ago was especially severe on alfalfa. Many fields have run to blue grass with a bunch of alfalfa here and there. Third This blue grass sod cannot bo successfully reseeded to alfalfa without llrst cultivating It a year or two to kill the grass. This sod turned under raises special crops of grain. Fourth The price of alfalfa seed Is so high ( some $10.00 per hundred weight last season ) that many farmers who do not Intend to abandon alfa'fa ' raising are waiting in an apparently vain hope for It to como down in price before reseedlng. Fifth Alfalfa has not as ready mar ket as grain and only those raisers MISERY IN STOMACH. Why not start now- today , and fni - over rid yourself of Stomach tronhltt and Indigestion ?
