3nly this ycnr In n manner calculated
to nmUo up for omissions iiiutlo ( hiring
tlio past four years. This was formally

Commercial club hold at the city hall
last ovcnliiB. Tlio Hontlment of the
nnthurliiK ueoiml to favor n colobratlon
every year In jimtlco to the people of
this Immediate vicinity who arc not
in a position or who do not care to so
oloowhoro. Sentiment also favored the
elimination of money making features.
Many Take Part In Discussion.
The Fourth of July discussion was
thrown open to the meeting by Presi
dent A. L. Kllllan. Councilman Her
man Winter was the first to declare
himself. Ho favored a colobratlon be
cause none had boon hold hero for
four years. Mr. Winter explained that
while business men and other towns
people might organize excursions to
neighboring towns , the bulk of the
jieoplo stayed at home. A celebration
was duo to the farmers of this vicinity.
Former Mayor H. C. Matrau thought
that Norfolk had hold off long enough
and that the people In the surrounding
towns would like to come hero and
celebrate. Ho moved that a celebra
tion bo held.
W. N. Huso being called on , declared
that a town had an obligation to fur
nish some entertainment to the people
of the surrounding territory and that
ho believed Norfolk owed It to Its
customers to hold a celebration every
year and a free celebration at that
In fact ho would have everything free
lint boor and dinner , and didn't know
but what It would bo a good plan to
have a barbecue and servo free din
ner.
ner.C. . H. Groesbeck , stating that the
fourth came on Sunday , advanced rea
sons for n colobratlon on the preced
ing Saturday and his suggestion was
Incorporated In Mr. Matrau's motion.
W. C. Roland , C. C. Gow , W. II
Blnltenmn and Rev. Edwin Booth , Jr.
spoke In favor of an Independence da >
celebration. Mr. Booth thought that
the celebration gave unity to the town
ami was demanded by patrlptism.
The motion to celebrate was adopted
without opposition. In the suggestions
which followed W. .T. Stadelman wanted
the celebration advertised on Uie same
principles as a circus. E. A. Bullock
declared for a celebration every year
John Krantz thought the flrst celc
brutlon should bo of a character which
would make the following celebrations
popular. U P. Pasewalk wanted a
ban placed on money-making ideas con
nccti'd with the celebration. Mayoi
Sturgeon thought that an annual cole
brat ion might look hoggish , but W. N
Iluse explained that quite the opposite
attitude was to be taken as the cele
brutlon represented nn expenditure
and that there were plenty of farmers
to drive to Pierce and plenty to drive
to Norfolk. He did not think a towi
could get away from the proposltloi
that It owed It to Its customers to give
them a celcbrat'lon.
Chautauqua- Brought Up.
The 'question of a chautauqua was
brought up and discussed and , aftei
being endorsed as a general proposl
tlon , was turned over to the directors
President KHIian Speaks.
Following the reading of the score
tary's report covering the past quar
tor. President A. L , . Kllllan of the loca
club made a short talk. There seemed
to be an Impression he said that the
nine directors constituted the club
What was trying to be accomplished
was for everyone's Interest and reall >
was no more the directors' business
than anybody else's except that thcj
had been chosen officers of the club
Mr. Kllllan explained the time whlcl
was devoted to the weekly meetings
and the committee work and read the
constitution to explain th'e wide pur
poses of the club. The active support
of a largo n\embership was needed. He
Invited dliect criticism and sug
gestions. Direct criticism was a
mighty good thing , he declared , but
criticism under cover had been weak
ening the enthusiasm of members and
was tending to work against what ever
efforts were made for the good of the
town. Nothing could be accomplished
without time and without some money.

The address of the evening was de
livered by E. R , Gurney , the Fremont

equal Iowa and Illinois mile for mile
The situation would then call for pros
perous manufacturing and distributing
.cities of considerable size , which were
now lacking In Nebraska.
Norfolk's Opportunity.

opportunity to develop ? " demanded
Mr. Gurney , "It is up to you to Haj

centers which will spring up In Ne

Vetoes Norfolk Appropriation.
Governor Shallenberger has vetoed
he Item In the general appropriation
bill appropriating $10,000 for n build-
ng for nurses and attendants nt the
Norfolk h6spltnl. This was the only

ser explains his Norfolk veto as fol
lows :
"The nurses' building r.t Norfolk Is
not needed , in my" judgment , nt any
ate until two buildings already started
lave l' ° en finished. Both of tnpm are
six mionths short of completion. The
legislature was called upon to provide
a deficiency appropriation of $18,000 to
finish them- because the original es
timates had been exceeded. "
New Junction Depot Rumored.
Rumors in railroad circles of a new
Northwestern depot and headquarters
offices at the Junction have a suf
ficient aspect of substance to have led
to the purchase of a few lots on
South Fourth street near the proposed
now site , which Is the old roundhouse
location jusf east of South Fourth
street. At least one of these pur
chasers Is now n First street restau
rant man at the Junction.
Northwestern officials have not ad
mitted that there- has been any
change In the south Norfolk depot
situation. The old depot Is not
adequate , while the headquarters of
fices are even less adequate to house
properly the several officers.
It has been reported at times that
a stone building of . ample size has
been contemplated and various plans
submitted. The number of changes to
be worked out , however , such for In
stance as tile disposition of the eat
ing house building , Is such as to com
plicate the matter.
The new depot rumors at this time
are , however , more persistent than
usual.

Yankton Press and Dakotnn : Brlel
mention was made yesterday of the
arrival In Ynnkton of W. W. Graham
of Norwolk , O. , a fact that adds not n
little to the Interest centering more

bridge. Mr. Graham was Interviewed
today at the office of the Dakota Con

Ing box. After Introductions by Engi

newal of old acquaintance after all ,
Mr. Graham said ho bad just obtained
from French & Orvls a box of papers
left , many years ago with that firm ,
and which went through the Union
block fire quite safely. The box con
tained papers of value to the project
which brings Mr. Graham once more
to Yankton.
In a half hour chat Mr. Graham
talked entertainingly of the old days ,
asked after J. T. M. Plorco and Harry
Eller , said ho had called on Will
Dewey in Now York and got some
papers from him. Ho was surprised
to hear of Contractor Norton's death ,
the news not having reached him. Ho
first of all asked about the Yankton
attitude towards the long talked ol
road , and when informed that there
were a number of Doubting Thomases1
around he smiled and oaid he blamed
Ynnkton jiooplo not nt all , fgr tiding
*
8kopticalk"about the road , which -had
been couttng alpnfi now for so many
years. '
Continuing Mr. Graham Bald now
ho came with a very bright and cheer
ful message , that In n chat with Mr.
Dickinson of Chicago , just before he
started west , that prominent tnnn ,
who represents the fiscal end of the
dual , said to him : "Mr. Graham , you
can say that I no longer entertain
any doubt as to the building of our
road. It Is n go this time and the
money Is In sight for It and tlio pro
ject Is ns sure ns that wo are hero
talking about It. " This from Mr.
Graham , who has for many years ,
since 1S91 In fact , boon welt known
to Yankton business men , menus
something ; It means a good deal more
than the arrival of Messrs' . Yulllo and
Johnson , who were unknown to our
people and who were welcomed but
did not nt flrst establish the con
fidence they have since been able to
do by making good in many ways.
Mr. Graham said that ten years ngo
ho had his deal completed as ho
thought , was told by a Now Yorker
ho could have the money to build the
road as fast as ho wanted It. That
was Into ono evening and the money
ed man then wont home , partook of
lobster and milk and was dead be
fore morning. That llttlo luncheon
cost Ynnkton its southern outlet for
a decade. Now the matter Is right
In the foreground again , has been
financed and unless death again Inter
venes he says Is a go , sure. The
first thing to bo done IB to put the
old right of way business In shape ,
something that has got somewhat
.tangled . up In the years that have
elapsed since Mr. Pierce and his
agents cleaned this part of the deal
up. Some deeds wore recorded and
some appear not to have been , and
all this will take time. Then another
urgent matter is the building of a
track to the bridge -site and tills will
also receive Mr. Graham's Immediate
attention.
Mr. Graham says he will be heie
a good deal from now on , and aa ho
is much esteemed In Yankton , and In
addition brings such good news , he
will bo most cordially greeted by old
and new friends to Yankton business
circles.
