Telephone orders which are sent to
the local grocerymen of Norfolk some-
Limes never reach their destination ,
on account of the lady of the house
forgetting to give the merchant her
address. A groceryman Saturday ex
plained that the proper way to send in
an order over the telephone was to
give the name and address first , then
50 on with the order. "Saturday , " he
said , "a lady called up the store and
said : 'Send me n pound of coffee. '
'What name , please ? ' answered the
clerk ; 'and a pound of sugar ' 'what
name , please ? ' and so on , and finally
she hung up the receiver without giv
ing the name at all. There are many
cases like this , and most of the blame
Is put upon the groceryman. "
Forty thousand feet of telephone
cable has been approved and will be
sent to the local office of the Nebras
ka Telephone company for the Im
provement of telephone lines through
the city of Norfolk. On account of
the increase and many changes of ca
ble from streets to alleys , the local
office has found itself short on cable ,
with the result that the enormous
amount of cable Is being shipped here.
A new cable will be strung from the
telephone office to Main street and
there divided , ono strand going east
about three-quarters of a mile , an
other piece going north on Third to
Elm , where it is divided , going to
Fourth street and to Edgewater Park
and through the alleys of Third and
Fourth , south to Omaha avenue. On
account of the tree complications in
the streets the telephone company Is
gradually taking the cables from the
streets and putting them in the alleys.
Federal Court Light Term.
Judge T. C. Munger of Lincoln held
a short session of court at the federal
building Monday morning. Two of the
Jury cases were continued and the Jury
was released. No criminal cases were
set for trial.

First National bank of Mercer , Pa. ,
against the Citizens National bank of
Norfolk and the eMadow Grove State
bank of Meadow Grove , and John H.
Jones against the Chicago and Northwestern -
western railway company.
B. R. Hoyt , clerk of the district
court , George McCallum of Omaha and
John F. Sides of Dakota City , United
States marshals , A. D. Lane of Lincoln ,
United States attorney , J. S. McClary
and W. H. Wldaman , bailiffs , wore in
attendance.
Judge Mungor and probably all of
the court have left the city for Lincoln
and Omaha , where Clerk Hoyt says
they have enough work to last them
the entire fall. Providing there are
enough cases by spring , court will beheld
held in Norfolk then.
Threatened With Lynching.
South Dakota Road Overseer Com *
polled to Sign Receipt.
Sioux Falls. S. D. , Sept , 20. As the
result of a difficulty with a gang of
workmen who were working out the
Great Northern railway road tax In
Brandon township , near Sioux Falls ,
Jonas Erlckson , road overseer of the
township , claims the members of the
gang threatened to lynch him In the
event that ho did not sign a receipt
for the work. Erlckson accordingly
came to Sioux Falls and today swore
out a warrant for the arrest of an In
dividual named M. Ferris , who was In
charge of the gang and whom ho al
leges was the leader in the assault
made upon him. The men had not
performed the necessary work , and
It was because of this that Erlckson
declined for a time to sign the receipt
which the men demanded. Fearing
that an assault was about to bo made
upon him , ho sought rcfugo In the
wagon of a passing farmer , but the
gang of men quickly dragged him from
the wagon. Erlckson also alleges that
when ho attempted to make his escape
on his horse , which he had tied in the
vicinity , the men again Interfered.
Then Erickson alleges the men sent
for a rope and n blank receipt , and
compelled him to sign the receipt on
penalty of being hanged to the nearest
tree If ho did not.

STORIES OF "BOSS" DURHAM.
Incident That Illustrated a Phase of
Famous Politician's Character.
Israel W. Durham , state senator
from the Second Philadelphia district
and former Republican boss of Phila
delphia , who died suddenly nt his At
lantic City cottage the other after
noon , wan one of the most powerful
lenders In the Republican organiza
tion.
Durham was n born leader of men.
While reformers always charged him
with resorting to all the hidden trick-
cry of politics , his personality wns
magnetic , nnd it wns this thnt seemed
to bind his host of followers to him.
lie hnd the reputation of never having
broken n promise once his word wns
given. He wns n man of few words ,
but newspaper reporters placed abso
lute reliance on what ho said when
he consented to talk nt all.
A little Incident which occurred n
few yearn ngo will Illustrate n phnse
of Durham's character.
Accompanied by Jnmes A. Campbell ,
Mr. Durham wns on his way to the
ferry to go to Atlnntlc City. As they
were nbout to board n street cnr they
were stopped by Thomas Blynn , then
a polltlcnl reporter , who asked Mr.
Durham the truth of n certnin report
current that dny. "That is not so , "
said Durham. "There is nothing In
It. " Then he nnd Campbell took the
car.
car.As
As they rode along Durham was
very quiet and thoughtful , nnd ns they
nppronched the ferry ho turned to
Campbell nnd said : "Jim , 1 lied to
Blynn , nnd it worries me. I never1 be
fore lied to n reporter. When I did
not wnnt to tell them anything I al
ways said I had nothing to sny. We
cnn get nnother train an hour later.
I'll wait at the ferry for you. Go and
find Blynn nnd straighten thnt thing
out. "
And Durham , who wns then a state
senntor , wnltcd In the fcrryhouse till
Campbell came back nnd reported thnt
he had found Blynn and set him right
Once Mr. Durham , strolling with a
friend along the bonrd wnlk nt Atlnn-
tle City , passed an oriental goods
store , where exquisite vnses were dls-
plnyed. with price mnrks beyond the
reach of nny one but n mllllonnlre.
The friend renmrked , "Iz , how would
you like to be rich enough to buy
those vases ? "
"If I were I would not buy them , "
replied Durham. "I'd have more
pleasure giving the money away. " Ho
wns generous to n fnult , nnd appar
ently the most pleasure he got from
money was by giving It awny. He
hnd been in many very profltnble en
terprises , but he wns not rcgnrded ns
exceedingly rich.

Now they turn Into the lane

And a sense of peace descends
When the cows come home.
They have "chewed the rug" for months
Through the tori Id summer heat ,

While they made their Job complete.

TO PREVENT 1STE ,
Railroads to Participate In Na
tional Conservation Movement.
ADVICE SOUGHT FOR BY THEM
Joint Committee to Give Them Sug
gestion * i to Practical Method of
Putting Policies Into Effect Enor
mous Consumption of Steel and Tim
ber by Railways.
A plan by which the railroads are tc
take part In the conservation move
ment Is announced ns the outgrowth
of conferences nntl correspondence be
tween representatives of the carriers
nd the Joint committee on conserva
tion. Preliminary negotiations on the
part of the railroads have been con
ducted by representatives of the Amer
ican Railway Engineering and Main ,
tenance of Way association. Attention
was also given to the subject of con
servation nt the recent meeting of the
American Hallway Mauler Mechanics'
association at Atlantic City , N. J. The
great < ] unntltlca of timber , Iron and
coal used by the transportation lines
are the bond of interest between them
and the conservntlonlsts.
The plan ns outlined provides for a
systematic arrangement by which the
committee on conservation Is to giro
the rnllronds suggestions ns to the
most practical method of putting con
servation policies Into effect. The
railway men agree to carry out these
suggestions. The conservation author
ities have submitted a plan which is
now In the hands of A. S. Baldwin ,
chief engineer of the IlT/noIs Central
railroad , who in n letter to the con
servatlon committee says :
On account of the wide areas traversed
fry the railroads and the great consump
tion by them of timber arid fuel , with
their enormous use of Iron and steel prod
ucts. It Is believed that the most effectual
assistance of the American Railway En
gineering and Maintenance of Way asso
ciation can be In directing the attention
of railroad ofllclals to the excessive waste
fulness In the present methods of produc
tion of timber and fuel and the great Im
portance of Introducing economies In their
use and consumption ; also to the Impor
tance of economising In the use of Iron
and steel products and the possibilities
of preservation by protective coatings and
otherwise.
With this end in view the rallrond
conservation committee has asked for
specific suggestions as to the best
methods that should be used by rail
roads in the prevention and control of
forest flrcs. The conservation commit
tee has presented an outline for Vhis
work nnd with It n statement shov Ing
the enormous loss of lumber through
forest fires every year.
The conservation committee of the
railroad association has also asked for
advice as to how a reduction In rail
road expenses mny be brought about
by the use of treated tics and for sug
t'estlons ns to the Importance of en
cournglng In the conl territory served
by them the use of byproduct ovens
Railroad representatives also want to
know what useful varieties of trees can
be grown to advantage In each state
or group of states , nnd they ask for
information ns to how they should be
started. They say there Is scarcely a
rallrond In the United States that has
not some spare pieces of land that
might be profitably planted In trees if
the railroad officials knew what trees
were best suited to the particular lo
cality.
Thia information has been furnished.
The rallrond nssoclntlon , through its
conservation committee , hns likewise
Inquired as to the extent of saving In
timber through the use of snwed in
stead of hewed ties. Inquiries ns to the
prolongation of life of the steel and
Iron used In bridges and other con
structions have nlso been made. All
these Inquiries the committee on con
servation has undertaken to answer ,
and It will he a matter of only a short
time until the suggestions are In the
hands of the chief engineers of nil the
great railroads in the United States.
The conservation committee of the
rallrond association says It will "place
Itself at the service of the Joint com
mittee on conservation In endeavoring
to get from the railroads such definite
dntn ns to the consumption of tics nnd
timber and fuel ns mny be desired"
and thnt It "Is prepnred to Investigate
nnd report ns mny be desired by the
Joint committee on conservation as to
the possibility of substitution of other
materials for ties nnd timber. " This
offer Is regarded by the Joint commit
tee ns one of great tmportnnce.
On nccount of the magnitude of the
plan It Is probable that all of the forty
state conservation commissions ap
pointed by the governors will be asked
to Join In helping carry it out. "The
committee will be glad , " Mr. Baldwin
of the railroad association says , "to
co-operate with nny of the national or
state organizations In Its efforts to ob
tain this Information or further the
work of the commission in any way in
Its power that may be outlined by the
Joint committee on conservation nnd
holds Itself nt the committee's serv
ice until further Instructed. " Special

"TELEPATHY ESTABLISHED. "
Prominent Divine of Reformed Epis
copal Church Says He Never Saw a
Spirit , but Has Known People Who
Have Seen Spirits New Science of
"Immortallsm. "
"Telepathy la uu established fact. lu
recent years great strides have beeu
made lu the explnntitlou of psychic
pheuouieuu , and in the years to corno
the science of communication with the
dead will be made u pnrt of the curric
ulum of great educational institutions.
As Its study becomes systematized and
more widely spread greater ndvaucea
will be made , nnd sotno day wo "Will
talk with the spirits as we now talk
with material pcruous. "
This statement Is made by Bishop
Samuel FnllowH of the Reformed Epis
copal church. He Is well known lu
Chicago , where he resides.
Future advancement In the science
of "Immortallsm. " which is spiritual
ism with the "fakes" left out , will
some day bring it to the point where
It will be studied by the masses Just
as they now delve Into Latin , arithme
tic , geography or grammar , according
to Itlshop Fallows , who spoke nt St.
Paul's Reformed Episcopal church on
"Why Am 1 nu Immortnllst and Not n
Spiritualist ? "
The bishop made startling statements
to the writer. He frankly states that
he formerly fought shy of spiritualism
and that he is just beginning to learn.
In the enlightened days to come , saya
Dr. Fallows , we shall bo able to con
verse with spirits of departed friends
nnd relatives. Their state will be made
known to us through these communi
cations. They will be nble to ndvlso
us on knotty problems , he ndds.
Hasn't Yet Seen si Spirit.
Bishop Fallows quotes n speech of
Dr. Adam Clarke , In which that cele
brated commentator said :
" 1 believe thnt spirits may , accord
ing to the order of God , In the laws of
their plnce of residence , hnvo Inter
course with this world nnd become vis
ible to mortals. "
"Did you ever see a spirit ? " Bishop
Fallows was asked.
"No , I never have , " was the answer ,
"but I know persons who claimed to
have seen nnd talked with spirits , in
telligent members of my own congre
gation , whose words I have no reason
to doubt.
"I discouraged them in their belief. I
now feel that their experiences were
of great value nud that I sustained an
Incalculable loss by not going deeper
into the matter with them. "
"You really believe , then , that spir
its may be visible to material persons
and thnt they may talk with and Influ
ence a material mind ? " he was asked.
"I do flrmly believe that. There are
well authenticated cases on record
where Important actions of noted men
hnd been influenced by norne super
natural communication.
" . "
"Mysterious Agencies.
"In many cases they were unable to
Identify the mysterious agencies. They
had merely nn Intangible feeling that
they should change their course. But
In other cases they were able to re
member the spirit who talked to them ,
to repeat Its exact words and to de
scribe Its nppenrance. These Instances
cannot be doubted , as they come from
men high in their professions.
"There are great truths in spiritual
ism. Many spiritualistic phenomena
we cannot understand , but we have to
admit them. I have called the new
science 'immortalIsm * because It de
pends for its existence upon the Im
mortality of the soul , In which we nil
believe , and the preservation of Iden
tity beyond the grave. Immortallsm lu
simply spiritualism with nil the frauds
and trickery elimlnnted. On nccount
of these frauds splrltunllsm hns been
shunned by mnny right thinking people
ple , but Immortallsrn will claim their
most enrnest attention. "
In support of his belief Bishop Fal
lows quoted from many eminent men
who have expressed similar views.
Where Man Has Been Tamed.
Now comes the woman of many hus
bands , a suggestion thnt man Is con
quered. Miss Charlotte Mansfield ,
who has returned to London from a
trip through central Afrlcn in which
she covered 2.000 miles in ir > 0 dnys ,

Butte Figures On Railroad.
Uoyd County Reporter : Llutto nndl
Boyd county are ngnln taking notlco
and Interested In the inovemuntu ut
railroads and the prospects of gottliii ;
ono through the county seaL
On Thursday Messrs. Palmer , Wlckn
and Stonier , representatives of the
Nebraska & Dakota Railway Co. , worn
In Ilutto on buslnos connected with
the company and Invited Ilutto cltlzoim
to bo present nt and participate In a
meeting of the citizens of that plnco
In the evening.
Acordlugly Messrs. H. A. Olorlch.
J. H. Sloler , G. S. Graves , A. Krikac
and R. V. Wilson went down to Spen
cer Thursday evening to represent
Butte at the meeting.
The meeting was a largo and onthuw-
lastlc ono , the largo hall In Spencer
being packed.
The representatives of the proposed
railroad explained tholr proposition
and assured the people that the ronil
was not merely on paper , but already
represented the outlay of more than
? 20,000.00 In survey and preliminary
work at the starting point.
This rend Is the ono mentioned some
time ago ns running from Fairfax to
Valentine. H is n proposed electric
line starting from Valentino by power
generated from an Immense power
dam across the Nlobrnra river at that
point. This dam IB the result of
much hard work on the part of the promoters
meters , the franchise granting the
right to dam the river being secured
through a special act of congress.
The proposed route was surveyed
from Fairfax to Valentino and the
completed records of this survey show
n grade of less than ono per cent from
Valentine to Napor In this county and
from Nnper on to Fairfax It Is consid
erably over ono per cent owing to the
fact that Fairfax Is on the other sldo
of Poncn crook and would necessltata
a haul Into the creek valley and out
again. A survey will now bo made
from some point on the Nortli-Wostenx
this side of the creek , and It Is pro
posed to start at or near Spencer run
ning through Butte , Nnper and thoncer
to Valentino.
Butte's representatives to the moot
ing at Spencer speak in the highest
terms of the representatives of the
road. They say they are gentlemen
in every respect and offer us the fair
est and most feasible proposition over
offered to Butte. Our people arc en
thusiastic over the matter and believe
the proposed road Is the surest thing ;
ever advanced here in the way of n
railroad.
We wish to reassure these gentle
men that Butte is unreservedly in fav
or of the road. Wo want it and will
aid them In any way possible In secur
ing the road.
Rival towns noticing the unusually
healthy growth of Butte are continu
ally throwing out the Impression that
we are uppish and Independent , In an ,
effort to discourage promoters who
might come to see us. However , we
can assure anyone who has any kind
of a proposition to make that la for
the good of Butte , that they will find
no more willing or enthusiastic people
on the face of the earth , and they can
always bo sure of the most cordial and
hearty welcome.
The surveyors are working out of
Spencer this week and are expected to
pitch camp In Butte sometime next
week.
Welcome to our city , gentlemen.
