from a business trip In South Dakota

ZOIIH of Aberdeen have In the 'don'l
knock hut boost' iilogan there. Or
the trains the first thing an Ahordeoi
man will do Is to start telling yoi
what a line place Aboidcrin Is. Tlu
town of Aberdeen itself was a surprise
lo me. The streets of Chicago arc
not hotter lighted than the streets o :
Aheidcen. There ate as many people
on the stioots at night its there are li
the day time. All the men belong te
the commoiclal club , there Is no knock
Ing and everyone boosts for his town
which has giown wonderfully' ' In the
[ a.-t t\vu year.- . . Aberdeen now boasts
of a population of nearly 15,000. The
ttiects are all paved and the olllce
buildings lent for enormous prices
When a business man or a man seek
ing to ttart in his piofcssion in the
town arrives , men who are likely to be
his comietitors gieet him with opei
arms and aid him In every way possi
bio. Norfolk should bhow this klne
of spit It and I bollove it is beginning
to do it now. "

Need New Fire Whistle.
Reorganization of the fire compan ;
at the Junction will take place nex
Sunday. At the meeting of the fin
and police committees and the odlceri
of the fire department last night , Coun
oilman Dolin and Fire Chief Mullet
were appointed as a committee to mee
with the Junction company and giv <
ail assistance possible in drawing it ]
by-laws and constitution. It was de
cided that the Junction company wil
have to work in the Fourth and Sec
and wards , the West Side in the Thin
and First wards. This will mean com
petition between the different compa
nies. The company first securing i
line of hose has full authority eve
that part of the fire.
Instead of by names , the companie ;
will now be known by numbers : Num
her 1 , Fitbt ward ; No. 2. Third ward
No. 3 , Fourth ward.
A feature of the meeting was tin
decision of all present that badge
should be provided for each Itremar
These badges will have their place 01
the wagon. When reaching a fire eiicl
member will be handed a badge wltl
its number and ho will then know Ini
mediately what place is assigned him
It was the sense of the meeting tha
the present fire whistle is not promp
enough for fires. Fire Driver Monro
says It takes from five to ten minute
alter a lite alarm before a sound fron
the whistle can be obtained. At on
time during a fire on Main street thit
ty-flve minutes elapsed before th
whistle was blown.
A compressed air whistle at the fir
station , it was deemed by the men :
hers present , would meet all require
inents.

SAY RATES ARE ILLEGAL.
Railroads Develop Position In Fight en
Aldrlch Bill.
That the rates for passenger and
freight traffic on the Nebraska rail
roads as fixed by the Aldrlch bill are
Illegal on the ground that they con <
stltute an Interference with Interstate
commerce , IB the position assumed
by the railroads now contesting the
legality of the law. This side of the
controversy will not become obvioue
until the case comes to argument
The hearing of the rate case wag
resumed before Charles W. Ponrsnll
referee , appointed by the federal court ,
at the offices of former Judge W. D ,
Mel high In the First National bank
building , Monday morning. The BOB

reel to support his testimony wltl :
that of flvo other witnesses. The
last ndjemrninciit of this hearing wm
taken live weeks ago , when the state :
asked for Unto In which to review tin
llrect testimony of Mr. Nay. The
'aking of testimony will probably oc
"itpy the court until the middle ol
next week , when the argument ? wll
be made.
It Is In-those arguments that the
real vital points of the controvorsj
will ho developed. H Is generally nn
derstood that among the many state *
which arc Involved In rate litigatlot
most are looking to the outcome of the
Vohraska fight. The question Is lit
'e ' less than tiiat of Kate sovereignty
The railroads will deny that there I ;
my power within any state by whlcl
that state may In any way affect the
'raffle1 of a railway doing an interstate
business.
The hearing in Itself is highly tech
