VERDICT FOR EX-GOVERNOR LEE
Vermllllon , S. D. , Nov. 9. After beIng -
Ing out nearly twelve hours , the jury
In the case of William E. Nllos vs.
Andrew E. Lee , brought In a verdict
for the defendant , and Mr. Nllos has
therefore lost the first round In his at
tempt to maintain an Interest In the
Toledo-Ann Arbor railroad. The case
will no doubt bo appealed to the su
preme court.
During the trial , which lasted nearly
the entire week , a mass of letters , ac
counts , etc. , were Introduced and the
trial dragged along very slowly. A
great deal of time could have been
saved had all of these been submitted
to a referee. Ounderson & Orls of '
Yankton represented Mr. Lee , while
Attorney Wlnans of Sioux Falls , law
partner of Senator KIttredge , and Attorney -
torney J. E. Payne of this city , of the
firm of Payne ' & Olson , were counsel

Johnny "Jones" Makes Good.
That Norfolk theatcigoers may well
,
look forward to a treat In "Little John
ny , Jones , " the great Cohan musical
comedy which comes to the Auditori
um Friday evening of this week , Is
evidenced ( by the following from the
Dally Calumet of South Chicago , 111. :
The bust excelled Is perhaps the con
cise and correct manner In which to
dcfacrlbo "Little Johnny Jones" as pro-
uentcd at the Calumet theater last
night. In Monday evening's Lsuo It
was stated that "Babes In Toyland"
was not only the best show produced
at the Calumet theater this season ,
but the best In many seasons of the
Columbus Square playhouse's exist
ence. The people who witnessed this
play during the six performances
which It gave at the Calumet readily
admitted this fact. They compliment
ed the management upon Us selection
of so worthy an attraction and express
ed a wish that It would continue to
offer plays of that calibre.
Few , if any , thought that a better
play would bo presented at the Calumet
mot this season. The first night audi
ence last night , however , was most
agreeably surprised with "Little
Johnny Jones , " for they found It to be
n more elaborate , a larger and , if pos
sible n more thoroughly pleasing play
than Victor Herbert's beautiful comic
opera , "Babes In Toyland. " "Little
Johnny Jones" as produced at the Cal
umet last night was more of the South
Chicago Ideal than Its predecessor.
The magnitude of the production , with
Its cast of fifty people , Its gorgeous
costumes and its massive scenery , out-
rivalling a large majority of the "stu
pendous melodramas" produced at the
Calumet , bewildered the nudlenco. It
was one of the most agreeable sur
prise ? that have greeted the patrons
at tin local theater in years.
George M. Cohan's plays have always -
ways been great favorites with local
'theatergoers. His unique comedy , his
'sprightly ' music and dancing novelties
i are of a type that always hit the target
| of satisfaction with local people and 1
the tremendous success of the first
presentation of "Little Johnny Jones"
in South Chicago can easily be imag
ined. With one accord the piece was
pronounced "Immense" by the first
nlghtors.
The public Invariably labors under
the impression that after ono or two
season's shows and especially music
al comedies commence to deteriorate.
While this may be so in many in
stances , It certainly Is not the case In
regard to "Little Johnny Jones. " The
production seen at the Calumet last
night compares favorably with the
original production In Chicago , at the
Illinois theater , with the exception of
the Cohans , who were In the cast of
the piece In the first production.
But those who have taken the places
of the stars are very worthy success
ors. The cast from top to bottom Is
first class and the people have been
well chosen for their respective parts.
All the famous Cohan songs , twenty In
number , have been retained. There is
the same dashing humor and the melo
dramatic incidents ho dear to the
hearts of the Calumet playgoers. The
sceneiy is new , massive and novel.
Harry Moiton plays the part of "The
Unknown , " and Is a real clover come
dian. His acting provoked roars of
laughter and caught the fancy of the
South Chicagoans at the very start.
His blunt retorts and novel comedy
cieated one of the biggest hits of the
show , while his slang teems to be
already enjoying a place in the vocabulary -
ulary of South Chicago.
| Ghnd Ileubnor Interpiets the Cohan
role to pei fection. Ho gives a most
accurate impersonation of the "Yan
kee Doodle Comedian. " sings in the
snmo nasal tone , dances in the same
weid ! manner and acts in the same
sprightly manner as the man who
wrote the play , composed the music
and created the chat actor of "Little
Johnny Jones. "
Miss Amy Morton , who plays the
part of Goldlo Gates and Impersonates
Rosaria Fanchette , the French actress ,
and the Earl of Bloomsbury , Is nn
actiess of pronounced ability. She
sings well , dances gtacefully , her Impersonations -
personations are voiy cle\er and she
Is at all times equal to the occasion.
William Laffoity ns Sing Song , the
Chinese editor , Is a capable actor and
does \\ell In a difficult pait. Miss Vera
Edmunds also does well In the part of
"Flora Belle Fly , " the newspaper wo-
mnn , In a creditable manner. She Is a
petite little lady and makes n pretty
appearance. Ed Holbeit plays the bell
boy and several other paits In a man
ner that merits commendation.
The remainder of the cas.t Is of high
fatandaid and each one does well In his
or her respective part. The chorus Is
the laigest over seen at the Calumet
and Is composed of pretty girls who
wear stunnjng costumes , sing well and
dance and drill very gracefully.
This Is ono of the shows which Man
ager Connors made his trip to Broad
way to secure , and his efforts to get
the very best for his patrons should
bo rewarded by the patronage of local
people to the extent of crowded houses
during the remainder of the engage
ment of "Little Johnny Jones. " The
play deserves capacity audiences and
now is the time for local people to
convince the management that they
want high class musical comedies.
This Is n play that everyone is bound 1
to enjoy and It cannot bo too strongly
recommended. Surely the theatergo
ing public cannot ask for more.

Attacks a Little Girl.
Judge Elseley sentenced
Robert Fenstermacher to 30
days In Jail for attempted
criminal assault upon 13-year-
old Anna Bruning. Fenster-
mncher claimed he did not
remember the Incident.
Charged with attempting to assault
13-year-old Anna Bruning , Robert Fen-
stermacher , aged 19 , a helper at the
Northwestern turntable at the Junc
tion , was arrested Monday noon. The
alleged attempt upon the Bruning girl
took place last Friday , but the little
girl , fearing her father would kill her
assailant , Is said to have withheld the
story for three days , when It finally
leaked out.
A frightful struggle Is said to have
taken place between the youth and
the little girl , Fenstermacher still
wearing marks of scratches said to
have been Inflicted upon him by the
girl's finger nails. Fenstermacher
boarded at the Bruning house.
Another Norfolk Burglary.
A burglar entered the office of Dr.
W. H. Pilger during the evening and ,
after turning his medicine cases and
papers of his desk Into a topsy turvy
condition , took two bottles of Pluto
water. From the fact that the burglar
rummaged through the desk where
usually small amounts of money are
kept , It Is believed he was familiar
with the office. Nothing but the two
bottles of Pluto water Is missing , al-
though ono medicine case was broken.

STEEL COACHES ON U. P.
Non-Destructable Car Is Being Tested
on Road.
An all-steel pascenger chair car ,
absolutely Immune from destruction
by fire and collision , In which wood Is
an unknown quantity except In the
window fiames , is being tried out by
the Union Pacific railroad. When the
St. Louis-Colorado Limited pulled outer
or St. uouls Wednesday It cairled ono
of these coaches on its maiden trip.
It Is expected that similar cars will
be carried by the Coloiado Special
and the Chicago Special on the Union
Pacific running between Omaha and
Demer.

ent from the old typo chair car. Be
sides being entiiely constructed of
steel It has many Innovations In the
intci lor finish The scats may be
raised by merely pressing a button ,
doing away with the levers and other
mechanism in the old cats.
Another feature of the new coach
Is the syslem of ventilation. The
cars are heated by the vapor system
and are brilliantly lighted by elec-
ti Iclty and gas.

being given several test runs before
being sent out to Oregon.
ANSWER IN 2-CENT CASE.
Says Northwestern Has Increased
Business.
Lincoln , Nov. 9. Attorney General
Thompson has filed In the federal
court hero nn answer to the allega
tlons of the Northwestern lallroad In
Its attack upon the legality of the 2
cent faio law and the other railroad
legislation enacted by the legislature
of 1907.
In denying the allegations of the
railroad that the 2-cent fare law had
caused a loss of revenue to the corpo
rations the answer alleges the fact to
be that the railroads have made more
money under that law than they did
make under a rate of 3 cents a mile
when passes were in voguo.
The answer sots out that the rail
roads did not receive 3 cents a mile
per passenger prior to 1907 , but re
celvcd during the year ondlng Juno ,
1907 , not more than 2.216 cents par
passenger per mile. In that same year
the railroads rocolved $1.417 gross rev
enue per passenger train mile , whereas
during the fiscal year ending June ,
1909 , J1.G36 rorenue per passenger
train I mile , an Incioase of 8.4 per cent.
The gross passenger train revenue of
the | Northwestern was not more than
$1.638,9111.17 ! , and that the passenger
tialn 1 earnings of complainant for thot
year ; ondlng Juno 30 , 1909 , was not
Joss , than $2,157,950.11 , an Increase In
| | passenger tialn mlles In 1907
, was $1.2151 and for 1909 $1.209 , n de
crease < of 2 miles used to carry the
passengers | In 1907 was 1,155,870 ,
against i 1,199,085 for 1909 , an Increase
In I train miles used of only 3.71 per
cent.
cent.The
The passengers per train In 1907
nvoinged i 52 , In 190 ! ) the average was
07. ( The o | orating expenses per pas
senger i train miles In 1907 was $1,234
and i for 1909 $1,209 , a docieaso of 2 per
cent. The net Income of the road In
1907 was not moio than $2,200 a mile ,
. while for 1909 the net Income was not
less ' than $2,3SO a mile fiom all busi
ness. i The net operating Income for
1907 was not less than $2,423,000 and
| for i 1009 it was $2,027,000.
The answer alleges that the decreas
ed freight and passenger rates has
tended to Increase business rather
than to cut down revenue.
"JOHNNY JONES" SEAT SA1 >
Will Start Thursday Morning Show
Will Be a Good One.
The scat sale for "Little Johnny
Tones , " Cohan's great musical comedy
success , which comes to the Norfolk
Auditorium for the first time Friday
night , will start at The News business
office Thursday morning.
Indications arc that the audience
will be a big one. The show Is ono
of the high grade kind , and the first
Lilg musical comedy of the year for
Norfolk. The company contains fifty
people , Including three well known
star comedians and n big bunch of
pretty chorus girls.
For the year past "Yankee Doodle
Dandy , " Give My Regards to Broad' '
way" and other musical gems from
"Little Johnny Jones" have been sung ,
whistled and played on the piano and
orchestras all over the country.
Therefore , to a large degree the music
of the production is familiar to most
of our theatergoers. No musical play
has been presented In many seasons
that has attained such an enormous
degree of popularity as was attested
last season by Its phenomenal run of
almost an entire season in New York ,
over three months In Chicago , four
weeks In Philadelphia and several
weeks In Boston. Its present tour has
been arranged only to embrace the
principal cities , therefore , Norfolk can
consider Itself fortunate In being In
eluded In the list of cities to bo visit
ed , by such a notable attraction. "Lit
tle Jonnny Jones" was written by
George M. Cohan , who also composed
all the music , and has given the pres
ent production the benefit of his per
sonal stage management. Mr. Cohan
is a prolific young writer , only twenty-
seven years of age , yet ho Is the au >
thor and composer of those three very
successful musical plays , "Forty-five
Minutes From Broadway , " "Tho Gov
einor's Son" and "Running for Office , "
In addition to a large number of vaudeville
ville sketches and a formidable list
of songs. "Little Johnny Jones" will
be seen In this city with the same
mammoth and complete production
which characterized Its engagement In
the principal cities last season. The
scenery and wardrobe Is claimed to be
among the most beautiful and exten
sive in America , the three acts being
gorgeously set to represent the ex <
torlor of the Hotel Cecil in London ,
the steamship pier at Southampton ,
and a street scene In the Chinese quar
ter of San Francisco , while the en
semble wardrobe Includes cloven com
plete changes , the whole representing
an Investment of many thousands of
dollars. The company Is one of the
largest travelling , including fifty people
ple and a cast of principals , embrac
ing the names of many stage notables.
Regarding Those Lights.
W. J. Stndelman has Issued this
statement regarding the strings of i
electilc lights maintained across Nor [
folk a\enuo for use on special occa- ,
stons : I I
Norfolk , Neb. , Nov. 8. I wish to 1
make the following statement In re '
gard to the strings of olectilc lights' 1 '
on Norfolk avenue. Two years ago !
thlity-two business men contributed
[
$0.50. n total of $208. to defray the
expense of Installing those lights. The
original cost of Installation was $225.
The current has been turned on about
forty nights. Pai t of the expense has
been paid by Individuals or organiza- ,
tlons using the same.
The original plan of turning the
lights on and off was for a man to go
to each string , throwing a switch , and
being compelled to do this work over
when turning off the light. This made' '
the cost for this particular work too
great. It was decided to stilng a clr
cult connecting all the strings nt n
common point , and In doing this all
that is necessary Is to throw ono
switch.
There Is no way or means qf main
taining thcFo HghJts other than by pub
lic subscription , Io it was decided to
dispose of them to the city for the
actual amount of Indebtedness , which
was $113.50 , and by action of the coun
cil the lights wore purchased by the

IRONQUIL IN NEW YORK.
The Kansas Rhymiter 8ltt to an Inter *
vlower for a "Thumb-Nall Sketch. "
From the New York Sun : Ironqulll
of Kansas talked for half an hour
Thursday 1 nftoinon to persuade n
would-be Intel viewer from the Sun
, that he didn't have any news to tell ,
ronqulll was right ; ho didn't. News
was not what the would-be Inter
viewer wanted , but a thumb-nail Im-
iresulon of Ironqtilll of Kansas , and
.hat ho did got ,
Iionqulll ? Why , he's the genial
iptlmlHt who once made hiiniess , once
was a soldier , once United states
icnston commissioner and nil the tlmo
undo poetiy. Eugene F. Wnio of
Kansas , sir , and always glad to moot
the young men who help make the
lowspapers.
Mr. Waio Is at the St. George ,
Brooklyn , for a few days. Ho Isn't
to be heio for long , and ho Is not
lore on any real purpose except to
see the town glow. Came on from
Chicago , whcio he had some legal
business to attend to just came on
to take a little look around. But
toy hero permanently ? Not that as
eng ns Kansas Is nn the map. Kan-
Mis Is good enough for William Allen
White and It's good enough for Eu
gene F. Ware. Washington was al
right for a while , the two years of
1902-1904 that he was holding down
the desk of commissioner of pensions
but ho was so mighty glad to get back
to Kansas that ho has been feeling
comfortable over It over since.
Ironqulll has a way of rocking back
and forth on his toes when he talks
and ho throws his arms out In nn ex
pansive gesture In emphasizing n point
Just ns If he were going to lift a
shock of corn. When ho said : "Why ,
I couldn't give you any news If I
wanted to , " ho flung out his arms so
that his watch and chain were en
tirely unprotected.
"Politics ? " he echoed. "Well , there
you've got me. You know I am com
paratively a stranger In New York ,
and -what chance has a stranger In
New York got to know anything
about New York's politics ? I don't
believe there are so many Now York
ers capable of knowing nil about their
own politics ; It's such a tangled skein
of yarn of yarns , I mean.
"I cannot see how It Is that the po
litical managers have already an
nounced what the vote Is going to be.
All of my friends with whom I have
talked seem to be about to vote dif
ferently than they have ever voted
befoie , ; some of them were telling
me they were going to vote for Hearst
and some of them why they weren't
going to vote for your justice who Is
running. I believe I believe that when
your political managers say they
know what the result's going to be
they're just fooling. "
This Ironqulll of Kansas must sense
the predominant characteristic of the
present campaign else ho could never
have been the author of those lines
which run :
When you consent to bo placed on a
ticket ,
When you've made up your mind to
run ,
Leg it your best the political thicket
Tears off your clothes but makes
lots of fun.
If you're minus a vote or so ,
Smooth It over and let It go.
Efforts and hopes may be lighter or
graver.
Either in politics , business or fame ;
Things may be crooked and friend
ships may waver ,
Nevertheless , the rule Is the same.
Facts are facts. When you
find It so ,
Smooth It over and let it go.
"No , I don't write as much poetry ,
If you cal It that , as I used to , " this
optimist of Kansas replied to a ques
tlon. "At least I don't sign my name
to them any more when I put them
In the papers. For ono thing , I have
a great deal to do with my law prac
tice , and that doesn't give me time.
Then some of my friends think I ought
to outgrow It say I'm too old for
that sort of thing.
"Still , " and hero Ironqulll tipped
back on his heels and down flatfooted -
footed again , with a puckoi Ing around
his eyes , "still 1 used to got a great
Ideal of amusement out of it. Why ,
one time , not very long ago , I sent
a little poem to the editor of the
Sun ; told him I didn't want any money
for It ; just wanted him to publish It
if he thought ho liked it. Ho published
It and then sent me n check
. "I wrote back to him and told him
I didn't want money paid for one
of my Httlo childen ! , and I sent the
check back to him. Ho sent It right
back to mo. So what was I to do ?
I spent it with the boys In riotous llv
ing. "
The corn fodder of Kansas must
contain , Instead of a pellagra germ ,
some bacillus of poesy , for Ironqulll
himself Is ono of the kind of pools
who just seem to grow , nourished by
the primitive richness of the soil.
( Like 'Geno Field , ho has time and
again breathed into some homely sub
ject n sweet and nnfrilled philosophy.
The Case of Christ Kahler.
Carlock Dakotnn : Christ Kahler ,
residing east of Carlock until last fall ,
when ho was taken to the hospital for
the Insane , has been ordered deported
to Russia by the department of commerce -
merce and labor and will bo accom
panied to that country by nn Inspector ,
according to the Gregory County Pilot.
When Kahler came to this country a
Httlo over a year ago , It appears that
ho was not mentally sound , and now
ho Is pronounced Incurably insane.
The case was investigated by the de
partment and the order for deportation
made for September 15. The Pilot
further states that through the Influ
ence of Congressman Burke n suspen
sion was secured for him to remain in
this country , provided the relatives of
the insane man would Insure the state
and government against expense of
maintenance and custody , and the re
quirements were not compiled with.
As to the last otatomont , wo would
say that the brothers of Knhlor ,
In this vicinity , have Informed us that ;
they have written to Yankton that thor
are nutro than willing to take euro of
their deranged brother In order to.-
keep him from being deported , 'in *
they are now anxiously awaiting u nv
ply. Both blethers say that Chrlut
was never violent and always was *
vllllng worker , anil that If one of tluitn
was with him his mental dorangemonk
could scarcely bo noticed ,
Cliilnt bus locolved his llrnt natural
( ration patters and his wife him taken
up a claim In Trlpp county In Mm
namo. And since his derangement lit
not so FuiloiiH but that hlu brothora
can contiol him , It does not seem withIn -
In the bounds of reason that ho tthoulffl
bo sent bai'k to his native country. .
Kahlor's biothors hcio hn\o loeolvedi
no ( woiil confirming the fact that hn >
will soon bo deported to Russia.
