" That's what one prominent business man remark ed to a group of citizens this inorn- Sng while watching the New York stock market quotations. .Much Interest Is shown at the high school building among the young men over the coming baseball game be tween the Norfolk juniors and the Battle Creek team , which takes place next Sunday afternoon at Battle Creelc. The Norfolk youths are con- lident of winning from Battle Creek as easily as they did from the Stanton Juniors some time ago. The following Js the lineup of the Norfolk team : Lu cas ( captain ) , c ; Kelloher , p ; Larkln , as ; Emery , Ib ; Dlgnan , 2b ; Heller- man , 3b ; Ward , If ; Pliant , cf ; Scott , rf. D. Mathewson of Norfolk created something of a sensation in Omaha , responding to a toast at the bankers' convention. Ills audience was con vulsed with laughter and when he had finished Mr. Mathowson was applaud ed to the echo. Concerning his toast the World-Herald says : "The first speaker was Darius Mathewson of Norfolk , Neb. , who discoursed on Banquet Pains' until his audience was convulsed with merriment. He touched upon most every subject in the calendar , handling everything in his own inimitably humorous style. At the close of his address ho was ap plauded to the echo. " The Bee said : " 'Darius Mathowson , Norfolk , Neb. , on Ills subject of 'Banquet Pains , ' turned a number of well taken practical Jokes on his audience in his talk , which was a burlesque of the stereotyped after dinner speech. Young Denney of Iowa , the pugilist who fought a battle hero with Kid Jensen nome time ago , is In/ the city awaiting word from Monk Trumuier , the well known welterweight of Omaha. Monk Trumnier has chal lenged Donnoy for a match which will take place at some town probably near Norfolk in the near future. This snatch when arranged will prove tote to a fast one as Monk has done some fast fighting in Omaha not only with Guy Buckles but other lighters. Young Dcnnoy is well known here and will put up a fast fight. At the annual meeting of the board of directors of the Northfolk Long Dis tance Telephone company which was hold last night at the local office , the following officials wcro re-elected : Hurt MapcH , president ; P. Michaulson of Tlldon , vice president ; W. A. Wit- zlgman , secretary and treasurer ; T. E. I'armli of Plattsmouth , C. H. Smith of Sioux City , and W. J. Stadolmnn o ! Norfolk , directors. The report o ! Manager W. J. Stadolinan when rend showed an Increase of 560 telephones Installed locally , not counting those In stalled outside of Norfolk. Business was increased and now telephones Installed in Norfolk at the rate of twenty telephones per month and over a thousand long distance calls each month were made during the year. The average morning calls wore at the rate of 700 per month during the en tire year. The morning calls are those made for the accommodation of people ple who ask central to wake them to catch trains or who are afraid of over sleeping. Mayor Edward P. Pfko and County Attorney E. E. Stanton of Stronis- berg wore In town to overcome the of- iccts of the unfortunate publicity their community lias received recent ly. The objection urged by these gentlemen is that facts regarding the epidemic of spinal meningitis publish ed over a month ago are being copied without date and published after the disease has died out and this gives the impression that the epidemic is still raging. They claim that there is not a single case in their territory now , that the public schools will open next week and the town and county have a clean bill of health. In justice to that town what was called the Stromsberg epidemic covered parts of three counties and was as prevalent in the country as in town and cases ex isted thirty miles from Stromsberg , but because of the activity of the of ficials In the latter town and county in trying to eradicate the disease and their couihiendablo movement to close the churches , Sunday schools and to forbid public gatherings they are being injured ilnancially where otherwise they might have escaped much of this notoriety by a different policy. As was natural there were many stories exaggerated and , no doubt , some facts suppressed in the reports gathered by the newspapers and while Stromsberg and Polk county are free from the di sease it is extending to other parts of the state and Into Iowa , according to the Investigations of the state board of health. Mr. Stanton , while In Norfolk , quoted Dr. Wilson of the state board as having said that the disease would probably spread all over the state when cold weather arrived. Guy Andrews a Tramp "Print. " Guy Andrews , the only son of E. Benjamin Andrews , formerly presi dent of Brown university , superinten dent of Chicago's public schools and chancellor at the university of Ne braska , as well as author of several bonks on history and money , and him self once a representative of the United States government in an inter national money congress , Guy An drews studied law at Brown univer sity while his father was at Its head , and Incidentally the young fellow was one of the founders of the dally paper at Brown one of the first of the uni versity dallies. Today Guy Andrews' law education lias been relegated to the chimney cor ner of his brain and the meagre in dustrial training which he picked up getting out the Brown dally paper is tielng used by him to earn his living a living amounting to ? 12 or so a week. Instead of a lawyer of the great ness of his father , young Andrews is roving printer , setting type here and Miere and everywhere that ho can get a Job. Thus the only son cf this great educator cater who has trained many an Ameri can for highest fame in professional calling , drops from the ranks of the professionally educated to earn a Ivlng as best he can with his two hands and his fingers. Guy Andrews learned the printer's case when he helped launch , as an in cidental feature of his college ca reer , the dally paper at Brown. And that knowledge of the case , clinging through years , stood him in good stead when the law that ho had learned proved useless. It was five years ago that Dr. An drews' son became an ordinary prin ter , drifting from place to place to earn a living. And not in tnose five years , until he reached Norfolk the other day , did he meet a soul that he had ever seen belore. He was really and truly a great man's son making his way upon strictly his own merits. Five years ago Andrews had started practicing law in the city of Lincoln with a prominent legal man as n part- icr. Drink took him to the inebriate asylum. After he left the hospital ho ladn't the nerve to return to Lincoln and to his law ofllce. Instead , he went ; o Kansas City. There he worked for a time In a packing house. This was icavy work for him he's of slight julld and he tried Kansas harvest fields with no bettor success. He did all sorts of odd jobs of manual labor sort , labor that required strong mus cles and a strong back , but ho was un able to withstand the pressure. Though the only son of a man of nternatlonal greatness , Guy Andrews faced starvation and desperation walk ed along with him , arm and arm. Ho woke up one morning In an Oklahoma hotel with 25 cents in his locket. He rubbed his eyes and told ilmself that ho was up against the world and that ho must take a new tack. tack.Then Then there flashed through his mind the memory of Brown days lays when ho helped get out the dally college paper. Those were days , too , when his fraternity pin meant social irestlgo and when ho was more apt o bo seen in a dress suit than in the garb that ho was wearing. At Brown , ho recalled , ho had learn ed the printer's case. And this last straw ho grabbed at. Hero was a man learned in a profession , forced to return to his hands and to hla very , very meagre Industrial training , for the sake of bread and butter without jam. Young Andrews walked boldly into the village printing offlco and asked if printers wore needed. The proprietor gave him a case and n "take" of copy. By noon that day Andrews had set about one stick of type about n tenth of n real printer's work. "You ain't very fast , are you ? " said the editor , tossing a quarter to the tramp printer. "I'm suffering from rheumatism , " explained the stranger , "and it makes me mighty slow. " There wasn't any more Job for An drews In that offlco , and ho went to the next town. His first half day had served to bring back to dim memory the exact location of all the typo boxes so he started a little better at the next shop. And from that time on during the past live years ho has been workIng - Ing in print shops all the way from Oklahoma to Iowa and through north ern Nebraska. IIo has drawn around $12 a week and says Is a fairly good printer , though nothing extra at that. Part of his money , ho says , ho has saved each week and sent to his mother in California. His father and mother moved from Lincoln to Cali fornia last winter , Dr. Andrews ownIng - Ing a ranch in the west. Young An drews realizes that his career has brought much of grief to the great man who Is his father , and is filled with remorse. "At print shops where I saw any signs of boozers. I didn't stay long , " said Andrews. "I didn't want to get back into the old habits. " From Norfolk Andrews went to Lin coln where ho said ho hoped to get back Into the law again. Before coming to Norfolk Andrews worked a few days at Wayne in the Democrat office. Charges Boy With Burglary. During the morning Chief of Police Marquardt arrested Harry Reed , bell boy at the Oxnard hotel , on a charge of breaking into the Bee Hive store , stealing a number of pairs of gloves , neckties and other merchandise. The goods wore found in Reed's room at the hotel and , in pretense of going for wrapping paper to wrap up the stolen goods , ho escaped from the officer. A telephone message to the chief of po lice from a point four miU-s in the country says the boy was seen there at noon. Thursday evening S. M. Rosenthal , owner of the Bee Hive , says he no ticed two boys in the rear of his storey and when entering it Saturday morning he found someone had broken Into the collar through an outside win dow and then broke through the trap door Into the store. He Immediately found that the gloves and ties were missing and notified the police. A number of fountain pens were found In possession of the Reed boy , and it Is thought these were stolen from a local drug store. It Is said the Reed boy confessed to the police that ho and another boy broke Into the store ; also that he had been selling the fountain pens , three ol which , given by him to girls at the hotel , were recovered. Harry Reed is a son of Claude Reed , a barber. South Omaha Greek to Hang. Omaha , Sept. 11. Judge Button to day sentenced John Mason Mason- eides , the Greek who killed Officer Lowrey , thus starting the South Oma- : ia riots , to be hanged January 10 , 1910. Wayne Normal Notes. The different graduating classes lave not been fully organized as yet , jut from what we now know , the scientific class will out-number any previous scientific class. The state superintendent has called all the college and normal school presi dents to Lincoln Thursday morning for a conference relative to the work of these institutions. Fred Pile , our resident , bears the distinction of be- ng the youngest normal school presi dent of the state. Wo doubt , however , f there is one more capable. The reception given by the faculty to the new students at the opening of .ho term was a most enjoyable affair. Short speeches were made by Pro fessors Pile , Bright and Huntemer , and a reading by Miss Carroll made up the program. After these came the social In the gymnasium which was under the direction of some of the older students. Prof. Huntomer has returned from Stout training school , at Menomonlo , Wis. , where he has been for a month , taking post-graduate work. His do- lartment is certainly much alive , as t Is bound to be with such an enthus- astic man at the head. When the pub ic schools begin , it will bo a very busy place. Prof. Perley Thorno of the mathema tics deportment of Now York univer sity , Is hero as a guest of President Fred Pile. These men were room- nates In Colby college , at Watervllle , Maine. Several from the high school have taken advantage of the opportunity to get in their normal training work now , as the public school will likely con tinue through the summer , and to se cure a second grade certificate , one mist have eight weeks of normal traili ng. ng.The The new year has opened up with a good attendance , even better than a year ago. This certainly is not only jratlfylng to the management , but to ho friends of the school as well. The faculty are all again in their ilacos and the work moves along with out a hitch. Wo doubt If a more com petent or enthusiastic corps of teachers can bo found than those of the Ne braska normal college. Each ono has node special preparation for his or her particular work.
