Thieves Are Again Busy. Thieves are again busy In Norfolk. This time n trunk which had been eft standing on the steps of the sain ; > lo room of the Oximul hotel for only iv few moments was stolen and the : ontents rilled. It seems the trunk , which belongs o B. M. Kemp , traveling salesman for the Marshall Field company of hlcngo. and which contained samples of ladles' underwear , resembled very nuch the trunk of tx jewelry salesman. The thieves evidently thinking of mnk- ng a big haul took It behind a pile of artificial stones in the vacant lot on the comer of First and Norfolk avenue , where they broke a hole into it breaking out the lock with a crow bar or some sharp instrument. The trunk was discovered yesterday afternoon and then taken to the Oxnard - nard hotel. As yet the police have no clue as to who the thieves wore , al though many suggestions are being offered. A stranger In the city Monday re ported to the Oxnnrd hotel that a suit case was stolen from him at the Creighton depot.

Hick man , who was defeated for county su perlntendent by twelve votes , ha served notice that he will contest thi right of Superintendent Murphy to holi the ofllce for a second term. The cam palgn between llickman nnd Murph ; was a very bitter one. personalitle st were resorted to. and Knox count ; was stirred from end to end. Superintendent Murphy's friend laugh nt the Idea that Murphy can b beaten out of the ofllce. Murphy wa superintendent last year and has strong following. Like Hayward. Madison Star-Mall : William Ilaj ward , chairman of the republican stat central committee , may be a candidat for United States senator to succee Senator Burkett.

Prince Von Buelow. formerly chance lor of Germany , has stirred up publi sentiment against the law prohitmln a white person from marrying anothe having a trace of negro blood , no ma ter how faint It may he. The law kll ed Von Buelow. He drowned hlmsel rather than stand trial for having vi < latcd It. His wife , as white sklnne as any belle In this city , has a trac of negro blood. Business enemies of Von Buelo1 found out that Mrs. Von Buelow ha Us negro blood , and In revenge for a cou is he played upon them in the cotto rn market they first ruined him final rnT. dally , then exposed his wife's socre it though It was no secret to him. The Widow a Cultured Woman. or Mrs. Von Buolow is a beautiful an at cultured woman , is of a splendid lln or on her father's side. Her father we to a judge. He educated and provide tom for her while he lived and loved In as much , If not more , than the chll si ren whom ho openly recognized. Vo sihe Quolow gave up a life of luxury an ct rank In Germany twenty years BE when ho was about 22 years old , nnd came to America. Ho joined the navy ( nnd after winning hlB way to a commission - ] mission , resigned nnd settled In this city In 1902 , Ho was In constant com munication with Prlnco Von Buolow , \ his cousin. Ho was accepted In good j society here. Ho engaged In the cot ton business and made a comfortable fortune. Then ho married. The girl told him about her parentage - ago when he asked her to bo his wife. She said It was Impossible for them to marry , nnd that If her friends knew of the trace of negro -blood In bor voliiB they would never speak to her again. Von Buelow replied that ho did not care about her parentage. He cared about her and ho persuaded her that no one need over know their secret A few months ago Von Buolow In curred the 111 will of n certain group of cotton speculators. They led him Into a speculative trap In which ho lost everything ho had his homo nnd about $100,000. Then In some manner - ner they learned of his wife's mu latto mother nnd they had him ar rested. Von Buelow's friends went to his aid nnd gave bail for htm and promised to stand by htm In his troubles , but ho was heart-broken. Ills wife was "cut , " ns she had pre dicted. Ills children were mocked. He couldn't stand It more than one day. He disappeared. Olflcers going to his home to servo a warrant upon his wife found him missing. "You will never see him again , " she told them. "Neither will I. He's gone. Laws have killed him. " A few days later Von Buelow's body was found In the Mississippi. Ills widow still must stand trial. She probably will be acquitted , however , for public sentiment Is In her favor. / The Dallas Extension. Colomo Times : All doubt as to which of the two routes surveyed for the Northwestern extension that road will build on seems to be finally set tled by the action of the legal depart ment In applying for right of way ovei Indian allotments along the north sur vey , which goes through the townsltc of Colomo. cutting across the north eastern portion of the town.

Lincoln Liked This Cohan Show. "Fifty Miles From Boston , " whl < played at the Oliver theater In LI coin last night , was welcomed by tli atorgoers as one of the best shows m the season and as a relief In that was a "real show. " The show comes to Norfolk Frldi m night and , judging from the Llnco JO State Journal , which Is the most cc sorvatlvo and most critical paper re garding theatricals , In the state , Nor folk playgoers may expect n genuine treat Friday night. The sent sale Btnrts Thursday and n big House Is ex pected. This Is what the Stnto Jour nal of Wednesday saya : The Oliver theate'r Is beginning to got Into the show business again. Last night George Ceilinn's rural musical play , "Fifty Miles From Boston , " was put on In good style before a warmly- appreciative house. It Isn't safe to bo positive about anything connected with the theatrical business , but It IB nil right to hazard n guess that If less emphasis had been placed In advance upon tiio musical features of this show the nudlonco would have been even larger. People who went to the Oliver ' expecting to see n typical musical ex- travaganzn were agreeably surprised to find a neat Now England comedy done by clover people who burst Into song only about half a dozen times during the entire evening. It was a welcome relief from the stereotyped musical comedy , so welcome that Mr. Cohan and his company could have had an unanimous vote of thanks If anybody had put the motion. The company has a chorus , but It Is used as a high school glco club and ns a fire department and as vex popull on the public square nnd not ns a means of forcing unmeaning songs between the audience and the plot of the play. For furnishing a chorus nnd then using It to heighten the drnmntlo effect of the piece. Mr. Cohan Is certainly en titled to credit. Few managers are able to show so much self restraint. The scene' Is laid In a "Jay town" In Massachusetts. Two love stories , the theft of some money from the postof- flco , the burning of the building and the visit of the Inspector all furnish plenty of material for a lively story. The principals are mostly attractive young people1. Grace King's portrayal of the part of the young postmistress Is the big feature of the piece , al though most of the fourteen charac ters were obliged to appear in re sponse to recalls when the house be came properly warmed up at the end of the second act. Says It's Swamp Fever. Norfolk , Neb. , Doc. 1. Editor News : In last night's Issue of The News , un der a special to The News from No ligh , I read an account of a "now dis ease In horses. " I do not think there is any such thing as a now disease ol horses. It may bo a strange or rare disease to one not acquainted with It but all diseases , especially of "gern origin , " have , nnd must have , existet prior to the outbreak In question. I can not say positively that th < trouble In Antelope county Is the same ns has existed for years past all uj along the Elkhorn valley , but fron the meager description given of tin disease in Antelope county in you paper , I am very much Inclined t < think It Is the so-called swamp fever also known as "bottom disease , " inn larlal fever and Infections of equlrn anaemia. I have myself investigate ! the outbreak in the western part o Pierce county , where one man los two head , and this loss was from th above mentioned disease. At first I was thought the trouble was confine to the low pasture and hay land , hone the name swamp fever or bottom dli ease , and most generally It Is found t exist on such pastures or hay cut froi wet meadows. Still , it has seemed to break out o the higher land at times , also , but eve then there may be water holes or we . stagnant places in such higher pai e tures. iThe disease has existed In Nebrask rfor several years past ; also In mane o other of the western states , ns Minni n sola , Kansas , Missouri , Nevada , Texn and Canada. Bulletins have been i sued by our own state experiment st ! tlon , also by the stations In MInnesoti Kansas , Texas and Nevada , besides b the United States department of agr culture , which described the troub ! and gave directions for its preventio and treatment. These bulletins ma be had for the asking Treatment Is not satisfactory , as rule , though If the case is found car ] there is a chance to save the anlma but if the disease lias proei-pssed VPI | far before discovered nothing muc Id ! can be done. It has also been the ve ' > r diet of many owners , that a recovere ft horse Is never much good afterwar in The disease Is not considered to I contagious , that Is , transmissible fro 10 a sick to a healthy horse direct , i id experiments have been made by pla jr Ing healthy horses with sick ones , ar failure to infect the healthy horse followed. The germ , If such exists , is excee Ingly small and belongs to the groi of ultra-microscopic organisms , belr so small It will pass through a perfe porcelain filter , and then produce tl disease If Injected under the skin i another horse.
