Norfolk's fire department Is about the best of any department In any town of this size In Nebraska. accordIng - Ing to Chief of the Fire Department Houser of Fremont , who was here yes terday Inspecting the local department with a view of getting some Idea of what kind of department Fremont should have. Mr. Housor Is delighted with Norfolk's "quick hitch" service , something which Fremont needs. He also was surprised to find that Norfolk had their own fire team , whereas Fre mont has to depend entirely on dray men and hackmen for fire horses. Mr. Housor believes Fremont needs a de partment like Norfolk's. A visit to Bonesteol and Gregory was made by the chief , who reports new flro systems being Installed at those places. Mr. Houser is 21 years old , probably tbo youngest flro chief in the state. Fremont's firemen , says Mr. Housor , are as good as any in the country , but all that is necessary there Is a fire team and wagon. Bryan for Prohibition. Lincoln , Nov. 22. Prohibition Is the now IBBUO which William J. Bryan Is preparing to spring on the democratic party. Mr. Bryan will , within less linn one month , make the announce- nont which Will plunge the party Into nest bitter strife and will bring about i complete realignment of the present lemocratlc factions. If the attack on ho liquor Interest Is successful and he rank and file of the party follow ilm , Mr. Bryan expects to find himself again at thu head of a party with a Ivlng Issue. But should the demo crats of the country fall to rally to his cry against the liquor Interest , Mr. Bryan's future course Is problomat- cnLThe The announcement of this step will ie made In a series of articles which Mr. Bryan has already prepared and which will soon be published , In which Mr. Bryan has already prepared and which will soon be published , In which ie makes the most bitter attack on the saloon and whisky Interest that 10 Is capable of making. To those who have been permitted to read these articles , it is plain that Mr. Bry an has exhausted his vocabulary of vituperative adjectives In his charac terization of the whisky trade. And while these bitterly denuncia tory articles are appearing In print , Mr. Bryan will bo In South America , far from the sting which will bo con tained In the answers made by his for mer friends. At the outset , Mr. Brynn-3 declara tion of Independence of the whisky Interests is to be confined to the state of Nebraska , but afterwards It Is to be extended to other states until the national democratic party has either declared for prohibition or has re fused to so declare. With the south , the stronghold of the democratic party , already practic ally on the side of prohibition and be lieved to be ready to fall Into line and adopt the new Issue , Mr. Bryan will wage his fiercest battles In the north and west , where he expects to develop sufficient strength to enable him to write a prohibition plank In the next national democratic platform. Mr. Bryan lays his defeat in former campaigns to the liquor Interests , which , he believes , have made use of the democratic party whenever that party has been needed by the whisky Interests , and at other times has "knifed" the democratic candidates on all sides. For the sake of party har mony Mr. Bryan has maintained a still tongue and has never taken a stand against the whisky Interests. But now he Is determined , even at the risk of being accused of attempting to "get even , " to come out against whisky with all the power and might of his tongue and pen. Incidentally , It may be stated that while Mr. Bryan says he Is not now a candidate for any office , the opinion of the Nebraska party leaders Is that Mr. Bryan believes the success of his new movement will make him at least eligible to the senate or even the pres- Idency. Means Disruption in Nebraska. In this state Mr. Bryan's new Issue will simply tear the democratic party all to pieces. He has confined his fu ture course to many of the leaders of the party . .and has been told by the ! "wheel horses" that they cannot follow him. Ho will , therefore , "go It alone" and will attempt to carry with him a sufficient number of the rank and file of the party to enable him to control the conventions and write the plat forms. Falling In this , not even his closest friends can outline Mr. Bryan's further actions. Just as soon as Mr. Bryan has left the country on his South American tour the fight will begin. There arc , those among the leaders of the party who will say this tour was planned In order that Mr. Bryan might be beyond the reach of any Influence which could be brought to cause him to discontinue his crusade. Will Favor County Option. The full force of Mr. Bryan's attack will not be disclosed with the opening gun and not until the last one of his articles appears will his position be fully stated. But he will , early In the series , make It plain that he will make the fight In Nebraska on the insertion of a county option plank in the demo cratic platform. Right there Mr. Bryan will lose the support of Governor Shallenberger , who Is opposed to county option and Is standing on the present daylight sa loon act which he , as governor , ap- pioved. lie expects re-election on a platform affirming the efficacy of this law. Governor SlmllenherKor has not yet announced that he will fight Mr. Bryan , but he has stated that he will fight county option , for which Mr. Bryan stands. Another wheolhorse who will desert Bryan Is Mayor "Jim" Dahlman of Omaha , who has for ten years been known as Bryan's "closest personal and political friend , " and who man aged the Denver convention In 1908 for Bryan. Mayor Dahlman stands on a personal liberty plank and ho will be a candidate for the governorship now hold by Shallenberger , Dahlman's strongest plank In the campaign being "personal liberty" and "drink nil you can get If you want It. " The Omaha World-Herald , which has supported Bryan In his every cam paign , will not follow Its oldtlmo lead er Into county option , but will fight that plank In every way. In an edito rial which appeared In that paper on the eve of Mr. Bryan's departure for South America , the World-Herald an nounced that the position of the party on the liquor question would bo de termined by the entire party and not by any one man nor set of men , and gave It as Us judgment that the Ne braska democrats could , under no cir cumstances , be brought to adopt the plank which Mr. Bryan Is about to spring upon the public. But Mr. Bryan Is not.golng to con fine his anti-whisky war to the bor ders of Nebraska. He Intends making a national Issue of the question , plac ing It above the tariff , finances , trusts and every other pertinent question now before the public. When the last article of the series which Mr. Bryan has prepared Is printed It will be seen that ho has burned all bridges behind him , that he has staked his very political exist ence on , the outcome and that there can be no turning back In the course which ho has mapped out for himself. But whether or not Mr. IJryan can poruuado the democratic party to fol low him Into prohibition Is another question. Dr. Doxey Arrested. Columbus , Neb. , Nov. 23. Following persistent reports concerning the con dition of Mrs. Dora E. Doxoy , who , with her husband , Dr. L. R. Doxoy , was arrested recently on complaint of Miss Kate Erder of St. Louis on a statutory charge , County Attorney Henaley swore out u liomplulnt charg ing Dr. Doxoy with administering mor phine and other poisons to Dora E. Doxey with Intent to kill. The case was called In county court and oc cupied a considerable portion of the afternoon.

Dr. and Mrs. Doxey are at liberty un der bond on the original charge pend ing the recovery of Mrs. Ooxey. West Point Man Paralyzed. West Point , Neb. , Nov. 23. Special to The News : John Peatrowsky , an aged pioneer citizen , is lying nt his home In this city nt the point of death from a stroke of paralysis which ho suffered on Saturday.

Kansas City Star : If there could hnve been any suspicion that Santa Claus was angry with all the children In the Temperate Zone and wouldn't come down here any more just be cause Mr. Peary-Cook discovered the north pole , that suspicion was dlspell ed yesterday afternoon. There ap peared to be a good deal of Interest In the matter , too , because about ten thousand children and a whole lot more grown-ups accepted u Kansas City store's Invitation to come down and see about It. And were they disappointed ? And did Santa look cross ? Guess again. On his first apearance since the ex ploratlon of his northern home , he was the same belted , white whiskered , red faced old fellow he was last Christ mas and before jollier , if possible than ever. After the children passed through his little house on the fifth floor they could stay only a minute because there were so many others waiting they had a chance to see what made him happier than ever. It was on the iloor above a won derful toyland , twice as large as the largest the store ever had before. The place was crowded all afternoon , and although It was merely the opening day of the department , there were heavy sales. So many new thing ? were on view to tempt the children. A doll that recites "Jack Homer" and "Dickery , Dlckery , Dock" and " Blackbirds" Is sings "Four-and-twenty rather a novelty. She does these won derful tthlngs , of course , by means of a small phonograph concealed in her middle. Does any father remember the "magic lantern" that was so much fun in his boyhood ?

A significant and timely develop ment In the department of steam en gines Is the steam roller. For other temperaments there are ordinary steam engines with merry-go-rounds and ferris wheels to which they may be attached. "There are many finer things hero than we used to have when we were children , " said a young mother who had taken her small son through It all. "But the best of It Is that nowadays you can get so much better things for the same money that wo used to pay and the same things so much cheaper. " "And I can't ' help thinking , " said Frederick Gremniels , who goes abroad every February to buy for the toy de partment , "that all these children would bo Interested In knowing right now that while they are enjoying these things their little Gorman half-brothers and sisters , less fortunate than they , are busy making the toys to send over for next Christmas. A largo part of the detail work done on these toys Is done by German peasant children In their own homos. " Yes the stores that advertise sell more cheaply. This Is because their advertising 'enablesthere / to do a larger volume of business. Mayor Issues Statement , ' Bonestcel , S. I ) . , Nov. 23.
