Some dissatisfaction seems to exist in regard to the change of time in the departure of t he Union Pacific nccom- modntlon train to Columbus , the time of departure hnvlng recently been ad vanced from 2 until 1 o'clock. Nor folk business men complain that the shopping time of people who como up the Columbus branch to visit Norfolk stores Is too much curtailed. Com plaint also comes from Madison law yers and others who have business to transact here. Norfolk people who are in the habit of going down to Mad ison on the afternoon train view the change differently , some saying that the additional time In Madison Is desirable sirable , others that It brings the two Madison trains too close together and that a person who has to go at 1 p m. might ns well go nt 11 a. m. The change especially Inconveniences those who come In at the Junction at noon and seek to go south' . A Battle Creek girl came In recently to take the teach ers' examination at Madison and , find ing the train gone , hnd to drive over land. Slfc contracted n cold and has been 111 In Madison with pneumonia Madison live stock shippers are quotet in the Madison papers ns saying that the change means an hour more for the stock in shipment and that they are opposed to the early start for this reason.

Children Find Hold-up Paraphernalia Children playing In the vicinity o Eighteenth and Q streets , in South Omaha , found three handkerchiefs cu for masks , three revolvers , flashlights and other paraphernalia evidently the property of hold-up men. Detectives were stationed In that vicinity In an tlclpatlon of the owners returning fo their property. Late last night four men were seen to approach the spo where the stuff had been hidden , and three of them were arrested , the fourth making his escape. Each Tells Different Story. At the police station all three gave what the authorities believe are flc tltlous names. They were sweatee separately and all three told differen stories. Their clothing bears the mark of a Denver merchant. They told a story about having been In the com pany of some women during the evenIng Ing whoso names they would not dl vulge , saying It would compromise the women. The police , however , secured the women's address and nre no\v making search for them. Detectives Waited Thirty Hours. The arrests were made Just before midnight , after the detectives had been watching the spot thirty hours Two of the revolvers were of the an tomatlc pattern and the Other one an ordinary 38-callbro gun. Four hats wore also fpund and Chief Briggs be lieves they will aid in identifying the owners. An inventory of the paraphernalia captured glyes evidence of the pre paredness of the owners for any erner gency. Had 200 Rounds of Ammunition. Nearly 200 rounds of ammunition was found in addition to the three revolvers volvers , handkerchiefs nnd lints. The searchlight is of approved pattern nnd is nenrly new. The automatic Colt's revolvers each had two loaded magn zlnos nnd wore of expensive make. Gordon and Tortensen were brough to Omaha .and Tortonsen pointed ou to the police the place ho lived , at 324 North Fifteenth street. A search was made of his room nnd two suitcases were 'found. Ono of them belonged to Woods- the third man of the trio Mrs. Jerome Solbert , who runs the rooming house af that number , said Tortenson hnd been nt her house fo some time , but that Woods came there last week , fcvo or three days before the Union Pacific hold-up occurred. Woods wore a suit of clothes bear tng the mnrk of Pickers Brothers , 61C Sixteenth street , Denver. Gordon were n hat evidently a year or two ild mnnufnctured by Rosenblatt and ; ompany , Portland , Oro. , block No. 925 and lot No. 332,055. Police Feel Confident. The police had no opportunity dur- ng the night to .communicate with Union Pnclllc ofilclnls nnd mndo no attempt nt Identification. Chief Brlggs , lowover , believes ho has secured the ight men and that ho will soon bo U > lo to unearth additional evidence. lo is sure Gordon and the fourth man mvo a room in Omaha which has not ot been located , and search is now being made for it ' 'Beat It ; Here Comes the Police. " The police dragnet was put out for he fourth man , who made his escape , The capture of the other three wns not nude without considerable dllllculty. The first of prisoners to see the dotec- .Ives shouted to his companions to 'Beat ' it ; hero comes the police. " All 'our started to run , with the detectives n pursuit. One wns stopped by n do- Lectlvo near where ho was discovered and the other two ran Into the arms of nn officer. They were unarmed but showed some disposition to resist. The offi cer , ho\\ever ; , forced them nt the point of n revolver to surrender. The fourth nnn cscnped to the Missouri river jottoms. The Omaha automobile patrol hur ried to the scene and brought Gordon and Tortenson to Omaha In the search of the latter's room. Gordon Fits Robber Description. Gordon fits well the description giv en by the Union Pacific trainmen of the younger of the four who held up : he Overland nnd Woods , who gives evidence of being the leader , has n manner of speech similar to that de scribed by Engineer Mlkeljohn. Desperate Men Without Doubt. "The elaborate equipment of this gang Is evidence sufficient to indicate they are desperate men , " declared Chief Brlggs. "I have never seen n better layout In my experience. There cnn be no doubt these men hnvo pulled off some good Jobs , and I believe fur ther developments will show that they are the men we are looking for. " The discovery of the revolvers was mnde by a pupil of Brown Parks school , who was playing in the vicin ity. The cache where the stuff was hidden was under a bank overlooking the Missouri river. Ho brought the volto his teacher , Mrs. Nora Freeman , who notified the police. De tectives kept watch of the place , be * lieving the owners would return for their revolvers. Now Hunt for Mail Pouches. The place where the revolvers were found Is about three miles from the scene of the hold-up nnd is an ndmir able place for "planting. " . Further search will be made today in the hope ( of finding some of the missing mall pouches. Try to Trace Hat. Portland , Ore.- May 28.

Dan Geilus , chief game warden , Lin coin , Neb. , In a letter to Deputy Game Warden J. B. Donovan , dated May 22 1909 , says : "In regard to the sale of fish I beg to advise you that the sale of all fish taken from the public waters of this state Is prohibited by law at all times of the year under penalty. A bill per inltting the sale of carp , buffalo , cat fish , suckers and gars was passed by the recent legislature. This bill was also approved by the governor , but owing to a discrepancy in the bill , I is null and void. It provides for no nppeal of the section of the old Inw In conflict therewith. I consulted the at torney general regarding this matte and he Informed ine that the courts have held that bills of this nature do not become operative and therefore the old law Is still in effect.

Friends of Charles Parker will call the attention of the Carnegie hero fund commission to his remarkable rescue of a party of five from Lake Madison last Sunday , and suggest that he Is unquestionably' ' entitled to decoration by a hero medal. Parker and son and John Utho with three sons were rowing on Lake Mad- isoii Sunday when the wind , which developed intcn gale , began washing water into the boat. It became evi dent that the party would sink very shortly , with the boat taking moro water every moment. Parker accord ingly leaped into the water and , tak ing the rope attached to one end of the boat in his hand , struck out for the shore. The task of towing a boat loaded with five persons n half mile through four foot waves to the shore would have appalled a less vigorous swimmer than Parker. As it was , he was compelled to drop the boat twice and rescue ( a child of Uthe and carry him to shore. Notwithstanding his three Journeys , In which ho traveled about n mile and one-third through the water , Parker suceeded in landing the boat with its three remaining oc cupants. To make his task moro difficult , Uthe , who could not swim , lost his senses nnd tried to cling to the al ready overburdened swimmer and'i Parker was compelled to fight him off. After reaching the shore , the party ANTED INEAOIITOWH and dlilrlct to _ tliltaiulrihllnl * sample Latest Model ' " "rtnncct " Our menu everywhere tu tniklnf mone1 NOMON.

It will be our intention to treat all candi dates fairly In the matter. As to Mr. Ward's qualifications wo might say that he holds a professional life certificate in this state. He has spent nearly all of his life in school work. He began his teaching career In Madison county having taught his first school in the country near this city. Later he was principal of the Coleridge school tor four years and Randolph one year , from which place he was selected county superintendent of Cedar county which office he held for eight years. After retiring from the county superlntendency he was appointed a member of the examining board in the state superintendent's office. He remained there eighteen months when he resigned to accept the chairmanship of Judge Boyd's congressional campaign and later be came Congressman Boyd's private secretary , which position he filled un til Boyd's retirement from office last March. Since then he has been living in this city with his mother , who Is getting well advanced in years. She has been living in this city contin uously since the family moved here about thirty-three years ago. The reason for Mr. Ward taking up his home in Madison at tnls time was to be near his aged mother In her de clining years. Ills wife , who was a sister of Lee Gates of tills city , died a few years ago and since that time his two daughters have made their home here a part of the time. It. would seem that Mr. Ward is abundantly qualified by education and experience to fill the office of county superintendent most acceptably and if the voters in November should see fit to elect him to tnls important office they may rest assured that the schools of the county will be in competent hands.
