CRIPPLED BOY MAKES GOOD.
Although Greatly Handicapped He Has
Accumulated $6,000.
Omaha , July 22. Fred H. Wnlkor of
Omaha has demonstrated that it is not
lecossnry for a young man to have the
UBI of his logs in order to exist and
teop the wolf away from the door.
This young man is 24 years of ago and
although ho has boon a cripple for six
r'ears ! he has gathered about him prop
erty to the vnluo of $5,000 nnd has
lone this without the assistance of
any person other than his customers ,
and In dealing with them he feels that
: ie has given them dollar for dollar.
Six years ago Walker was In the
Omaha high school , where ho wns a
jright boy nnd a crnck footbnll plnyer.
In one of the games ho met with an
_
accident that deprived him of the use
of his logs , nt least when ho wns able
to bo about ho was forced to uao
crutches and his physicians toll him
thnt ho will never be nble to walk
without them.
The parents of Walker were poor ,
but this did not discourage him. The
squab business had started and in it
Walker saw some money. He went to
n friend ' and leased a block of vacant
and In the outskirts of the city. From
another man , a friend , he bought lum-
her for his pens , and , being something
of a mechanic , did his own building.Ol
Then ho went In debt for fifty pairs
of squabs. Ho was ready for business.I
The birds Increased at a wonderful
rate and nt the end of the first year he
liad sold fifty dozen young birds at $3
per dozen and had 100 pairs in his
pens. The second year he sold $500
worth of birds , paid off all his debts
and increased his breeding stock by
150 pairs. From that time on his busi
ness flourished. Up to July 1 of this
year his sales for the six months had
aggregated $1,000 nnd ho says he will
turn off fully $500 worth of birds be
fore winter. Young Walker has
bought him a team and does his own
marketing. He sells only to hotels and
restaurants and consequently receives
the highest prices.
Humphrey Commercial Club.
Humphrey Democrat : A long felt
want is at last about to be filled in
Humphrey , and that is a commercial
club. The start wns made Monday
evening when a few business men
met at the home of Dr. Condon and
set on foot a movement which will no
doubt result in a good live club being
formed. Messrs. Diers , Wentz and N.
J. Steffes wore chosen as a committee
to circulate a paper to secure signa
tures and promise to attend n meetIng -
Ing next Mondny evening in the city
Imll to complete an orgnnlzntlon.
Humphrey had n commercial club a
number of years ago. It stnrted out
to secure a flouring mill for the town.
It succeeded , but It seemed thnt nfter
this was accomplished It considered
Its mission ended , so it died a silent
death. There has been need of a coms
nierclnl club In Humphrey almost continuously -
tinuously since , and had we had one
we believe the town would be considcal
erably better off today. Attend the is
meeting Monday night , and there reme
celve such inspiration ns will make on
you a booster , not a knocker , for the ex
good of the town and community as
long as you claim Humphrey as your
home. A town good enough to live in
certainly good enough to boost for
nnd this is what a good commercial .
club will make you do.

Pure Food Law Cannot Prevent Gifts
and Premiums to the Purchaser.
Lincoln , Neb. , July 24. It Is no of
fense against the Inw for the manu
facturer of a food product to include
the package containing his stuff a
prize , gift or premium , and that sec
tion of the pure food law which de
clares this to be misbranding Is uncon
stitutional. So holds District Judge
Stewart in a test case brought by the
manufacturers _ of Ice cream powder
and mince meat , who gave slips that
could be redeemed in cash or in maga
zine or book subscription.
The attorney general holds thnt this at
n device that is Intended to deceive
the purchaser of a food product Into is
believing that he is getting something as
for nothing and that the cost of the
prize being Included In the price
charged , It means deterioration In the
food product sold. The court says that
there being no element of chnnco In It , the
public morals are not lowered , and
that , therefore , the police power of the
stnto cannot bo invoked. The manu
facturers complained that the law was is
secured by manufacturers who didn't
want to give premiums and tried to
make It impossible for those who did
do so.

Will > Ask Steel King for $11,000.
Andrew Cnrncgle will lie asked to
give $11,000 for the Norfolk public li
brary building , instead of $10,000 ns
nlrendy provided. Owing to the nd-
vance in cost of labor and materials
during the past six months , the library
building planned six months ago to
cos $10,000 , will now cost a little
mo than $11,000. The building as
planned Is ns small and inexpensive ns
Norfolk should have , in the opinion of
the library bonrd , nnd nn effort will
Ub mnde to secure additional funds
from the steel king in order to build
the structure just as outlined.
There Is reason to believe that the
additional $1,000 may be secured. The
steel magnate makes It n rule to give
for a library building ten times as
much : money ns the city will yenrly ap-
proprlnto for mnintenance. And ow
ing to the increase in Norfolk's as
sessed valuation , due to increase in
property and to growth In the city , the
levy mnde for library malntennnce ,
originally planned to brln $1,000 per
year ; , will now raise about $1,100. Ten
times this amount would make $11,000
and Mr. Carnegie makes it a rule to
give ten times the yearly maintenance
appropriation , for the building's con
struction.
So J Mr. Carnegie will be written to
Immediately , and the facts In the case
called to his nttentlon. Until n reply
received , and the needed additional
money provided , work will not start
the building. But matters will be
expedited ] as much as possible so that
lust as quickly as is possible the new ;
building will begin to be built.
Bids Are Opened.
The library board met yesterday af
ternoon to receive bids on the pro C.
posed building. As a result the follow
ing figures are available :
For ] the completed building , without
furniture or architect's fee , the low
bid was $11,840.
For the same building without fin
ished basement ( on which orlglnnl es- at
Llmnte wns based ) low bid was $11,005.
Four bids were received , two from
locnl contractors and two from out a
side. John Hermnnn and Pruden &
Beckenhauer were the Norfolk bid
ders ; F. H. Woerth of Scrlbner and
Anton Rnstnd of Vermllllon , S. D. ,
were the other two. There wns $700
difference betweeu the high nnd low all
bid. by
Deeds for Site Now Signed.
The last deed for the library site ,
Norfolk avenue and Eighth street ,
was signed Saturday , so that now all
In readiness for the building Itself
soon as the additional fund Is ar <
ranged. The site is 127 feet by 104
foot , at the southwest corner of Nor
folk avenue and Eighth.
The Increased cost of building , over
figures of six months ago , was
shown by the 20 per cent Increase on
brick and the 33 per cent Increase on
labor. One contractor stated that he
now paying 25 cents nn hour for
common labor , as against 17 cents last
January , and men are hard to get at of
that price.
