BACK AT BRYAN.
, ' - _
Fitzgerald of New York Sarcastic Ir
Reply.
, Washington , April , O. Roprcsontn
tlvo John J. Fltzgorald of New York ,
who gained prominence by having
adopted his amendments to the house
rules and who at the same time
brought down upon himself and twcri'
ty-ono followers the wrath of the so
called regular Democrats , Issued the
following reply to William J. Bryan' *
criticism of his action , which recently
npponrod in the Commoner :
"With his usual rashness , Mr. Bryan
rushes In where angels might well
fear to tread. Ills statement that 1 am
not a representative of my party would
Imvo como with better grace If made
when my speeches were being select
d as Democratic campaign docu
incuts irr the last two campaigns. It
would have been more convincing II
ho had marshalled incidents in my ten
years' service in the house of ropre
sentatlves to justify his assertion. If
Mr. Bryan means that I am not a rep
rosentatlvo of the Democratic party
as democracy has boon understood
and professed by himself , I shall nol
challenge his statement. My political
convictions and beliefs were made
more in accord with the democracy
of those rnon who twice made 'possible
Mr. Cleveland's election ns president
than with-tho Inter-day radicalism ol
the west.
"As to the personal references rr
Ir. Bryan's statement to my sense
of propriety and respect for my party
I have only to say that If the Dcrno
cratic party had given me three op
portunltlos to become presrdent , and 1
had failed as dismally as Mr. Bryan
oven if I did not have the sense to de
soyet the obligation of gratitude te
my party would compel mo to rernalr
silent about matters of which I was
grossly ig'norant. "

Close Contest in Election.
The polls opened at 9 a. m. to re
main open until 7 p. m.
The Norfolk polling places are at
follows : First ward , city hall ; Secom
ward , West Side hose house ; Thirc
ward , Julius Degner's home ; Fourtl
ward , Junction hose house ; outsid *
precinct In school district , city hall
Where the Contest Centers.
The contest in Tuesday's electlor
centers around the offices of mayoi
and city treasurer , while there Is a hoi
fight on over councllrnen in each > of tin
four wards. Mayor Sturgeon and Cltj
Treasurer Anderson have the ad
vantage of coming up for re-electlor
after one year of good service.
The Democrats base their belief Ir
Friday's sucess at the polls largely or
his running qualities In past elections
The city organization under Dr. Mac
kay , city chairman , is well oiled ant
It is needless to say that every Frldaj
vote will be registered.
The Republican organization In pro
dieting the re-election of Mayor Stur
geon does so In the belief that Nor
folk voters will not reject a one-terrr
administration without good grounds
There has been no grounds for anj
considerable disaffection. Sturgeon , I
Is pointed out , will gain strength , fron
the conservative administration of th (
past year , from the good order thai
has been maintained and the fact thai
a safe middle course in the saloor
question has resulted in a mlnimurr
of agitation and dlssentlon. It IE
argued , too , that the administrator
has been progressive and has brought
the city to a point where it takes
rank with Nebraska cities of the firsi
class.
City Treasurer C. L. Anderson , wlu
last year gained his office over J. E
Haase , cashier of the Citizens Na
tlonal bank , has another hard contest
on this year with W. J. Stafford , as
slstant cashier of the same bank.
The fact that considerable dl&sastls
faction existed among Democrats fol
lowing the caucus nominations li
thought to make the' situation to tin
Republican nominees for the council
For the school board E. M. Hunt
Ington and R , M. Fraser are plttei
against H. C. Matrau and J. J. Welsh
U Is not thought that the vote wll
equal the vote of a year ago. The lav
which sets the hour for the openlni
of the polls at 9 a. m. costs the votei
of many traveling men and rallroai
men. Trainmen are usually busy a
this tlmot
There will be noted In Tuesday'i
balloting In Norfolk a general switch
Ing about from last year. Sturgeoi
will lese a good deal of the supper
brought him by the bolting Domocratt
of a year ago but will make Inroadi
in other directions.
An effort to make It upopar that th <
Prohibitionists might gain In the oicc
tlon of certain candidates , It Is not bo
llevud has deceived any considerable
number of voters. Recent events have
shown that as far as Norfolk IB concerned
corned danger of piohlbltlon and him
laws will come from stata politics am !
not from city politics ,

Saloon Bill Creates Stir.
Lincoln , April 5. Governor Slmllon
bcrgor was besieged today from all
sides regarding the signing of the dny
light saloon bill , passed In the bsl
gasping breath of the Doniourutit

men of that city , urging that the bli :
be vetoed.
It Is claimed by opponents of the

fraud. The claim Is that the bill
passed by only one vote and that Rep
resentatlve Fogarty of Greely countj
was registered In favor of the bhi
when , In reality , he voted against It
He later tried to change the record
but was voted down. Governor Shal
lenborgor announced that ho will nol
take into consideration the method 01
passage ; he will accept the legislative
record on that point. This means he
accepts the legality of the bill.
The Omaha World-Herald , a Demo
cratic paper , calls upon him to re
consider this decision.

Narraw Escape for a Tinner ,
Imprisoned on the top of ono of th
new buildings of the Norfolk Insan
asylum , his clothing saturated with
burning gastollno , the result of an explosion -
plosion of a tinner's nirnnco , was the
thrilling experience of Fred J. Huhn
of Sioux City , who was saved from
horrible death by C. E. Sallada , also
of Sioux City , who with rare presence
of mind rolled him In ono of the gut
ters of the building and literally toro
the clothing from his back.
Huhn , who Is a tinner's helper , was
working with Elmer Carrlgg on thereof
roof of the building fully forty foot
from the ground. Ho had just pumped
up the tinner's furnace when It ex
ploded , breaking the gasoline pot atone
ono end from which it is fed and hurlIng -
Ing fragments of iron and burning
gasoline right and left. Huhn , who
was standing almost directly over the
furnace was thoroughly drenched
with the inllnmmablc liquid , which
Instantly took fire.
Blazing from head to foot , he sprang
away from Carrlgs , and ran at break
neck speed across the top of the build
ing to the cast end , expecting to find
egress to the ground. Sallada , who was
working there , saw the half crnzud
man coming and with rare coolness
prepared to receive him. As Iluhn
rushed down on him , Salloda tripped
him and rolling him In the wide gutter -
tor , succeeded in getting most of the
burning clothing from the man's body.
Had Huhn eluded Sallada ho prob
ably Nvould have been so horribly
burned that he could never have re
covered. As It Is , he escaped with ono
hand and an arm badly burned and
numerous small burns on his body.
Sallada would also have been badly
burned If he had not had a glove on
his right hand. Ills left hand was
scorched , hut not deeply burned.
Carrlgg was not irljured at all.
All of the men were ab6 ! to work
yesterday. Sallada is the contractor in
charge of putting the stool roofing on
the two new buildings which are be
ing erected at a cost of nearly $150-
000. Ho took the men with him from
Sioux City to do the work. It was not
until last night when Sallada arrived
In Sioux City . that the details' of
Huhn's narrow escape became known.
In addition to being a contractor , Mr.
Sallada conducts a hardware store at

Norfolk Is concerned , Is to give the
local school authorities control over
children who are not only disturbing
factors In school but who have also
escaped from.the control of their

After having sold the family cow
and pocketed the proceeds of the sale
despite the protests made by his sons
to the police , it was the sad fate of
George Housh , living in Edgewater
park addition In Norfolk , to fall into
evil ways In Stanton. The following
story of Housh's troubles appears in the
Stanton Picket : "On Tuesday of last
week , George Housh , a one legged in
dividual , who says his home is at
Norfolk , drifted into town and at
once proceeded to get drunk , assisted
by several companions he picked up in
making his round of the saloons. In
the course of the evening Housh dis
played some money , laying it out on
the table before him to count it. The
money was picked up by some of those
who stood by and on waking In the
morning Housh found himself without
cash. As County Attorney Chase was
out of the city at the time , no com
plaint was filed until Saturday , when
Hugh Stevens and Will Kenney were
arrested charged with having ap
propriated the money. The amount
lost was a ? 20 bill and about ? 3 in
silver , witnesses of the affair claiming
that Stevens got the twenty and Ken
ney the sliver. Before Judge Cowan
Saturday .afternoon Kenney was found
guilty and fined $10 and costs , Stevens'
case being continued until Tuesday.
The trial of Stevens' was held before
Judge Cowan Tuesday morning. At
torney Ehrhardt appearing for the de
fendant and County Attorney Chase
for the state. The jury was com
posed of the following men : F. S.
Prine , L. C. Phillips , H. A. Cole ,
Theodore Naamer and D. C. Spangler.
After being out only a few minutes the
jury brought In a verdict of guilty and
the defendant was fined $10 and costs.
We understand the case will be ap
pealed to the district court"
