Spanish Letter Reaches Norfolk.
Morgan N. Jones of Aberdeen Is not
the only innn who IH rcculvlng letters
from Spanish swindling agencies. A
Norfolk limn has the honor of being
the recipient of ono of these letters ,
only lie IHIH not reached the stripe yet
where It seems necessary to aond the
writer nionoy as Mr. Jones did.
The letter received by the Norfolk
man , whoso nnino by his request IB
withhold , Is dntod Mndrld. July 1. 1000.
The writer , who Is probably nn Italian ,
has written the loiter In three differ-
out languages , partly Italian , partly
Spanish and a little Portuguese. Ho
says that In a certain railway station
ho has In IIH ! name and which Is his
property , the HUIH of 1,200,000 franks.
The money was deposited by him at
the place , which Is a certain station In
Franco. Hut on account of the fact
that ho Is at present a prisoner and
without means , ho Is unable to draw
( ho cash. Ho has a process , however ,
ho explains , to not this money which
the government Is holding n claim to ,
which ho can have cancelled when ho
arrives there by rail.
The writer does not ask for money ,
but Insinuates that ho is familiar to
the Norfolk man , hut will later give
him enough guarantee and his correct
name , which ho Is now compelled to
withhold. All that Is necessary for
the Norfolk man to do to receive one-
third of this sum , which Is something
like $100,000. Is to answer this letter
by telegram and not by letter , address
Ing it to his servant , who will deliver
It to him In prison.
Following Is a copy of the telegram
which should bo sent :
"Norfolk. Neb. , .Jesus Gonzalez ,
Jesus y Marie I ! , IMso 10 , Madrid.
Family arrived without Incident.
Signed "
When the telegram Is lecelved in
Madrid the writer will respond In the
following three letters , "H. Do. 0. " ac
knowlodglng the receipt of the mes
sage.
It is not likely the letter will be
answered , but the receiver of the com
munication says he Is positive ho never
had a friend or relative In Spain ,
France or Italy. Why the writer used
three languages to write this letter
cannot bo explained , as usually the
fake loiters from Spain are written In
plain Castlllan.

business of Newman Grove , after jog'
glng along a number of years without

a permanent location.
Serious Agitation for Greece.
Constantinople , Aug. G. Reports
arc In circulation of serious agitation

Greece to annex Crete. Forty thous
and Albanians assembled at Monastir

was to the effect that the government
was taking active steps to prevent
annexation of Crete by Greece.
Norfolk Wins Deciding Game.
Norfolk not only evened up with
Dallas , but won the rubber game I
Thursday afternoon , 5 to 1. This gives
Norfolk the present series and three
out of live games played with Dallas.
Local fans were out enmasso and
enjoyed the sport. It was n pitchers'
battle from start to finish. Norfolk
had Dallas shut out but for an error
on Luslnski's part in the seventh.
George , for the visitors , batted a long
lly which Lusinskl , in the field , missed.
The game was started in the fourth i
inning. Neno stealing second , nuck-
niasler bringing him In on a single.
Luslnsky walked , South bringing both
in with his one-sacker , Schoonauer
making a single and Haak bringing
him in on n short hit.
This netted Norfolk their five runs.
McDonnltt of Dallas went a little wild
in the sixth and George went Into the
box and Ford was put in to catch.
The feature of the game was Ward's
great pitching. Ho kept all the hits
scattered. Seldom did anything go
outside the infield , Neno made n hit
with the fans when ho caught a high
lly one-handed. Brown batted well ,
and Vasblnder , for Dallas , and South ,
for Norfolk , were stars in the fielding.

To Save Clear Lake.
Sioux Falls , S. D. , Aug. G. A move
ment has been inaugurated by the pa
triotic citizens of Clear Lake to save
from destruction Clear lake , a fine
body of water near that place , from
which the town was named. Water es
capes from the lake through an outlet
lot in such quantities that the life of
the lake is threatened. It is planned
to construct a huge dam across the
outlet and thus prevent the escape of
water in quantities that will maintain
the lake at a stationery level.
MORE COAL AT BLOOMFIELD.
Vein Seven Feet Struck by Borers
Looking for Oil.
Bloomfleld , Neb. , Aug. G. A second
vein of coal measuring seven foot
thick was struck by the drillers of the
Dloomiield Gas and Oil company.
After leaving the first vein , which
was six feet thick , the drill passed
through about live feet of rock , then
striking the second stratum of coal.
After leaving this stratum the drill
passed through eight feet of rock and
lire clay , when the tnird vein of coal
was struck. This third vein seems to
bo of n bettor quality than the flrst
two , but as they are still drilling in
coal the thickness cannot bo deter
mined until they have passed through
it. The state geological department
was wired today to send an expert
chemist hero at once to analyze the
specimens of the three strala. Al
though these three veins are sufficient
to mine , the company will not stop
drilling until n depth of 1,800 feet or
more Is reached for the purpose of
striking oil.
Town to be Moved.
Sioux Falls , S. D. , Aug. G. The
town of Hereford , which is situated
on the south banK of the Belle Fourcho
river in Mcado county , is to enjoy
the unique distinction of being moved
bodily to a new location on the north
bank of the river. The change is lo
cation will give the town a much bet
ter silo and is oxpeclcd to prove of
benefit to all who are interested in
the future growth of the town.
DAKOTAN NEARLY LOST.
Aberdeen Man Who "Bit" on the Old
Spanish Game Tells How.
Aberdeen. S. D. , Aug. G. Morgan II.
Jones of this city , manager of the An
erdeen Bottling works , was a much
surprised man when shown an Asso
elated Press dispatch stating that the
Spanish authorities had intercepted a
letler from him , addressed to C. Bur
rol Topez at Madrid , inclosing a draft
for $1.200 , which will be returned to
him , because C. Burrel Topcz is a very
smooth swindler who has been working
Americans for years.
Mr. Jones slaled that several months
ago ho received a communication from
a man signing his name Ruiz Jones ,
claiming to bo an inmate of n Spanish
dungeon , stating ho was his cousin ,
and begging him to care for his daughter
tor , a child , whoso photograph ho In
closed. The photograph appealed to
Mr. and Mrs. Jones , because It resonv
bled a cousin of theirs. They an
swered the letter , and several lottera
passed back and forth between M. H.
Jones and his "Cousin Ruiz , " in the
Spanish prison. One letter was re
celved from the "little daughter. " Fin
ally a letter came from C. Burrel To-
pez , tolling , in a heartrending manner ,
of the death of Ruiz Jones , and how
ho had begged him Topoz to take
the child to his relatives in America.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones discussed the matter -
tor and determined to glvo the child
n home. Accordingly Jones purchased
| a draft for $1,200 on a New York bunk
mid sent It to Topoz , to pay the cost
> f the trip of Topoz and the little girl
from Spain to Aberdeen. That was
arly In June , and Jones had heard
nothing more from his Spanish "rela
tives. " He had become atlxlous , and
tiad had the Aberdeen banker of whom
lie had purchased the draft ascertain
from the > ew York bank if It had been
cashed , and ho was Informed It had
: iot.
Jones is very glad to have emerged
from the adventure with no financial
loss.

ont.
SPIRITS HALT WEDDING.
"Shall Dr. James H. Hyslop Marry
Again ? " "Spooks" Are Asked.
New York , Aug. 3. There is a lively -
ly difference of opinion among the
"spooks" which love Dr. James H.
Hyslop , the psychic researcher , as to
whether he ought to marry again.
The spirits of the doctor's Hrst wife
and his father and Prof. Richard Hodg
son all know a woman the doctor has
picked out and have some advice to
glvo him. They have spoken through
Mrs. Boluiar , the wife of a physician
employed by the United States gov
ernment , who lapsed Into a medtumlst
ic trance and took down in automatic
writing a conversation between Doctor
Hyslop and his spirit relatives and
friends.
The spirit of old Robert Hyslop , the
late lamented parent of the psychic in
vestlgator , declared itself at flrst as
favoring the doctor taking another
wife. Later , however , the venerable
spirit changed its mind and suggested
It would not bo a good thing for the
Investigalor's children.
The spirit of the flrst Mrs. James
Hyslop was moro or loss noncommlt
tal , hut Ilyslop's father declared In
one spiritualistic communication that
if his son over lapsed from his widow
hood "Mary would never be ben/d
from again. "
As for Doctor Hodgson , with whom
Doctor Hyslop had worked when Doc
tor Hodgson was nllvo , ho was dead
'set ' i against the matrimonial Idea on
flrst ; thought. He was afraid this un
ion I would draw the doctor away from
his I research work and Impoverish the
i world by Just so much. In n subse
quent spiritual communication , how
ever , ho rolontod.
Doctor Hyslop has published a rec
ord of these Balmar seances In the
Journal of the American Society for
Psychical Research , which Is Just out.
A reference was made to the possibil
ity of the doctor marrying again In ono
of the first communications that the
medium had with hla father's spirit.
"A woman always spoils every
thing , " said the spirit of the elder
Hyslop by way of general comment.
"Well , would you say that about the
woman I am Interested In ? " asked the
son.
son."I
"I will not ; find out women's little
tricks and tell mo your opinion , " was
llio spirit's reply.
"All right. What do you say in re
gard to my thoughts about the matter -
tor ? "
Spirit of Father You arc thinking
of marrying hor.
Doctor Hyslop What do you think
of it ?
Father's Spirit Good , it Is not best
for any man to bo alono.
Doctor llyslop Yes , I understand ,
hut am I making a wise choice ?
Father's Spirit I think she is as
good as any of thorn are. She is smart
and such a perfect woman. When are
you going to bo married ?
Doctor Hyslop I am not certain it
will happen at all ; I wanted lo see
what you thought about It.
Father's Spirit Oh , yes it will ; she
loves you and will not lot you got
away.
Doctor Hyslop What docs Doctor
Hodgson think about it ?
Father's Spirit Ihs says a married
man Is retarded in scientific research.
The spirit of the older llyslop on
several occasions was deeply grieved
because ho couldn't bo inoro definite
and emphatic in his statements. It
took the spirit of the older Hyslop
only about twenty-four hours to
change Its views about the doctor's
marriage.
"The light Is fading out. 1 can't do
good work , " it complained.
"But presently there will bo a bet
ter connection , " it wont on.
Father's Spirit Don't take the ad
vice given to you last night.
Doctor Hyslop No ? I don't under
stand. Why ?
Father's Spirit It's not good.
Doctor llyslop Why not ?
Father's Spirit It does not ring
true.
Doctor Hyslop What Is the matter ?
Father's Spirit It would prove dif
ferent once a bird is netted.
Doctor Hyslop Yes , I understand.
I had long ago given it up. Wo arc
good friends and both agreed it was
not for the best.
Father's Spirit Yes , but the woman
does not really feel that way. We see
inside the working mind. In that we
have an advantage over you.
Doctor Hyslop Yes , but can you say
exactly how she feels about it ?
Father's Spirit Sljo | Is not really in
terested in your work , but in the man.
Should you marry , she would make de
mands inconsistent with the work you
now carry on. James , you are engaged
in the noblest kind of a work. There
Is no man who has done so much to
benefit mankind.
Nebraska Traveling Men.

Friendship.
Atkinson Graphic : Much of the so-
called friendship of the day Is but pre
tense. It exists only in name , and ns
soon as it ceases to bo advantageous
it is dropped. The friendship that con
tinues the same in prosperity and ad-
vorslty is to bo prized , but all other
kinds are worthless. It matters not
how hard a man may struggle to do
right and make a success of life there
is always some loathing reptile , some
worthless wretch who is ready to drag
him down , to blight his hopes and
blast his fondest ambitions. The loss
of money and property is not the
greatest loss a man can sustain in the
business world ; far better to lose your
money than to lose hope and ambition.
Fighting Fire at Dallas.
Wlsner Chronicle : James Newblgg-
ing and L. Erving , the latter formerly
of Bennett ; Neb. and a traveling sales
man for a shoo concern , well known to
several merchants of Wisner , narrow
ly prevented what might have boon a
second disastrous prairie flro near Dal
las , S. D. , last Sunday evening. Mr.
and Mrs. Nowbigglng had driven over
for a chat with tholr now neighbors ,
and shortly after their arrival Mrs.
Erving , glancing toward an adjoining
neighbors' , discovered that a covered
wagon belonging to some well diggers
and standing near the neighbor's barn ,
was ablaze. Before the team could
cover the flfly rods Intervening the
two claims the entire contents of the
wagon had boon consumed and the
flames were eating Into the corner of
the barn , having become Ignited
llirough a bale of hay loaning against
the latter. The Iwo men hauled the
wagon into an adjoining cornfield and
succeeded In saving the barn by a liberal -
oral application of waler.hlch. . for-
Innately , was close at hand. Had the
building boon consumed , the flro would
have Ignited a number of hay cocks In'
the Immediate vicinity and n wide
area of moro of the best liny land In
Tripp county would have been de
stroyed. This claim Is on the east
line of the disastrous lire of lhe pre
ceding day when sixteen men fought
from daylight until after Iwo o'clock1
In the afternoon to save it from de
struction. The Erving house was mi
raculously saved from Iho flames of
Saturday's conflagration by the shift
ing of the wind , which split the lln >
about three rods southwest of the half
completed house , carrying the flames
neatly around it and tlion closing In
again about FV ! rods further on. There
was as yet no ilro guard about Iho
buildings.

SMALL GRAIN IS INJURED.
Heat and High Winds Do Some Dam-
nge in Dakota.
Waterlow.i , S. D. , Aug. G. Thate
small grains of all kinds , with the pos
sible exception of flax , have materially
suffered within the past ten days , ow
ing to an excess of heat and high
winds , is the consensus of opinion of
those who prorcss to be crop experts
In this section of South Dakota.
To what extent damage has resulted
is a matter of speculation , the farmers
and crop experts not agreeing , but
they are substantially agreed that
grain has been injured.
Barley , which promised to bo a big
crop a short time ago , appears to have
boon the first to bo affected. Macaroni
wheat ( durum ) , which constitutes the
bulk of the wheat crop In the vicinity
of Watortown , has also been in Jurious-
ly affected , perhaps moro so than other
small grains , excepting barley.
The past three weeks have boon
moro than ordinarily warm for this
season of the year , and the lack of
rain has enabled the dry winds and hot
sun to blight the forming heads.
Three weeks ago experts were unan
imous in the opinion that South Da
kota never bad a better prospect for
a bumper crop , but present Indications
are that small grain will not be much
bettor than a good average for a good
year. If the weather should continue
bad for the maturing fields for another
week , the yield will be further re
duced and the quality will likewise bo
proportionately injured.
Further injuries , for the present nt
least , were stopped last night by a
heavy rainfall. Cooler weather is pre
vailing today.
Knapp Wants to Get Well.
As soon ns Charles Knapp of Madi
son recovers sufficiently from the bul
let wound Inflicted In his head by
himself , steps will bo taken toward
prosecuting him for shooting his wife
with Intent to murder her , according
to County Attorney James Nichols ,
who was In Norfolk yesterday.
Knnpp , it is said , now regrets his
deed and wants to live. Indications
are that both he and his wife will re
cover.
Some years ago Knapp created n
sensation In Madison by pursuing a
couple of girls and firing a revolver
at thorn.
Ho has become crazed with drink.

Information just received from Mr.
Carnegie's spciotary , that the library
building originally planned can not be
built nnd that cprtnln features will
have to lie sacrlllced now which could
have been had six months ago , bo-1
cause of the advance In the cost of ,
materials and labor since the first of
the year. A tree ting of the board will
probably bo hold soon to definitely' '
discuss the question. j
A letter fiom Mr. Carnegie's seero }
tary has just boon received in answer
I
to a query sent by the library board.
Mrs. G. D. Butterlleld , secretary of
the board , explained the situation to
tlie iron master's secretary , setting
forth that the bull-ling planned for !
Norfolk would coat moro than $10,000
and that it had boon stated here that ,
Mr. Carnegie made It a policy to glvo
ten times as much for the building as
a city appropriated for yearly keep-up.
A statement from the county tieas-
urer , allowing that the levy made In
Norfolk for the library's annual main- '
tenancc totaled over $1,100 , was in-
closed. It was explained that Norfolk
did not wish to presume In the matter , '
but that if this was Mr. Carnegie's
plan , Norfolk would be glad to put up
the originally planned building. I
The secretaiy to the captain of in-1
dustry replied that Norfolk had been' '
misinformed and that such was not
Mr. Carnegie's rule. lie said lie felt
positive Mr. Carnegie would not con
sent to the additional $1,000 donation.
The building planned last winter
could have been built within the $10-
000 limit at that time. Owing to de
lay over which the present library
board had no control , it was impossible
to get the final word from Mr. Car
negie until very recently. Since Jan- j
unry 1 cost of building has advanced
so inurh that the building that could
have been put up for around $10,000
In January would cost around $12,000
now.
now.The
The board felt that tite building as
planned was none too big for Norfolk
and hoped that n way could bo seen
to build it ns outlined.
