ri NOHFilLK WEEKLY SliWSOO'UHNAl. V It I DAY DECEMBRIt 10 190 ! ! Hard Con ) Price Raised. Hard coal In Norfolk IH higher In price today than It IIUR boon In n niinv bor of years. The prlco was boosted Friday meirnlng from $10.50 to $11 pet ion , all dealers agreeing to put up the price simultaneously. Ily way of ox plnnatlon , tliu elonlors point to the fact that Omaha doalorH rained the price from $10.50 to $11 WednoBday and the local mun Hay UIH ! move a < Omalui suggested the IncrcaHO hero. "Wo have lieoii Belling hard coa too choaii , " u dealer' ' Bald , "and BO having the Increase In price suggcstee by the Omaha ralBO , wo Hhovcd tin price up HO centH , It costs Norfoll dealers 50 centu a ton more thai Omaha dealers , on account of the freight , so wo'ro atlll fiO cents untloi Omaha , freight considered. " One coal dealer estimates thatahou 3,000 toiiB of hard coal are used It Norfolk during the winter , which woul < make a net Increase of $1,500 to In paid for coal at the new price. Concerning the Increase In Omahn the Omaha Uco says : Hard coal Is higher In Omaha toda ; than It has boon nt any time durlni the last four years , the price Imvlni been ralHCil , Wednesday morning , fron tlO.50 to $11 a ton. Coal dealers nt sort that the rise In the price of coa is not caused by the switchmen' strike , but Is simply the regular wli tor raise. "Wo have kept the price at $10.5 until everyone has had an opportunlt ; lo lay In their winter's supply and no\ wo are milking the regular white raise. " said C. W. Hull. The highest point readied by bar coal lust winter was $10.50 a ton , am there It was allowed to remain , no being reduced during Hie summer a Is usually the case. , Tno prlc6 stayci the same all summer and now that th regular raise of 50 cents a ton Is pu Into effect It makes the price blgho than It has boon for four years. Soft coal was boosted some tlm ago. The only concession the con men made this summer was In th extension of the time when the con might bo paid for. Instead of reducln the price the dealers allowed the cor sumor to lay in their winter's suppl ; and then pay for It during the wlntei The coal dealers found a reason fo advancing the price of soft and sem anthracite some time ago when a fe\ mines down In Arkansas wore closei for some local cause or other. Lumber Is also likely to take a raise assert some of the dealers. About 4 per cent of the lumber for eastern Ne braska comes from the north an northwest and as the Hill lines ar affected It Is thought the price of lun ber will be boosted up a little , becaus of the switchmen's strike.

Our Schools Best In State. According to 0. A. Gregory , stat Inspector of Normal training of big schools , who was hero from Llncol yesterday looking over the high scboc grades and Inspecting the norm : class , Norfolk has the best suporlntei dent and probably the best teacher In the state. "Tho teachers In your high schoo I find to bo a splendid lot of people , said Mr. Gregory , "They are a greti credit to Norfolk. Superintendent Hut tor , 1 llnd by hard work has orgni Ized the first class BO well that w now have a number of very fine teacl ors In the grades. How these youn teachers obtain knowledge of the wor BO Important lies In the fact that thos to become teachers can gain most b seeing good teachers teach. Norfolk training school was commenced on year ago and under no circumstance can Norfolk now let it go. Norfol will do well to heed the movemei toward practical Industrial trnlnlni I will not say what Is really necessar for Norfolk In the training school Norfolk people alone know what I necessary , but additional simile should be added , such as are now con ing to the front , as commercial line connected with the high school , mm ual training and domestic sclenc Norfolk Is large enough and shoul have them. "I was very much surprised to hot how the students of the Norfol schools worked for the Y. M. C. i building here. This shows how muc Is thought of your town by the youn ; or element and something a city shoul be proud of. In my visits to otlu schools this will be one of my stron points I shall toll about. In my tra oling this work by the Norfolk teac' ers and students is the best I lun over soon. " Mr. Gregory says Norfolk Is vei lucky In obtalnlg such a man ns M Hunter to superintend their school "I have known Mr. Hunter a Ion time , and wo people of" the Sout Platte country know what ho Is. don't ' know how you got him hei but you are very fortunate. " Surprised at Norfolk's Growth. Mr. Gregory came to Norfolk tl first time In 1882 and Is very muc surprised In the city-like growth i Norfolk. . Ho says ho had at tin time been thinking of investing I some land near where Colonel Co ton's residence now stands. That pa of the city he says was a wilderne ; then. Since that time Mr. Gregoi was at Nellgb. Then he had travele in the west. Ho has gone to Stantc to Inspect the schools and attend tl corn exhibit which is now on at tin place. Unpacking Christmas Goods. Norfolk merchants are busy unpac' ing their holiday goods , and from win one may learn from an occasional loc behind the scenes , this year's dlsplr will bo the best and largest In point t variety ever known here. The mo chants , although there has been son talk as to the corn show at Omal taking trade , believe that Norfolk pe pie will do the right thing and gli the home fellow a chance. There no doubt a temptation for the perse I visiting the city to make bis pnrchasi ' while there from the variety adva tageously displayed. There are pro I ably bargains to be bad in the clt but it takes an experienced sliopp to know them and It takes a very wli I buyer to do bettor in the city than 1 I can do in his homo town. It Is sure known hero that none can hope to < better in Omaha during the corn sho' I or at any time before the holidays tin ho can do at home. It Is known nero of many Norfo people who have purchased articles Omaha because the display In tl store window or on the counter wing their eye , only to find later that tin coi.lel have purchased the same gooi In their own city for loss money at saved the trouble of carrying the GOOI home , or added expense of transport lion. j There should bo a covenant betwci the buyer and the merchants where' ' the former buys his holiday goods home , the latter giving maximum vi ties. There is nothing so dlsagrccali ' as the many endless steps of walkh back and forth through the jam ai the crush of the big metropolitan d partmont stores during the days 1 : fore holidays , thrown among every 11 tlonnllty on earth a place where yi can recognize no one , ' wait a lei , time and get a snappy reply to yo inquiries by the girl behind the crewed od bargain counter. Those who i their shopping at homo can do it wl , a great deal more of comfort. I A New Bicycle Ordinance ? Uoforo leaving for Omaha yoste day , City Attorney Barnhart said th , ho was working on a now ordlnan 1 which will be presented to the cl council Monday night , prohibiting tl riding of bicycles on the sldewalli i Mr. Barnliart declined to state who behind tills movement , but It Is real not so very difficult to toe the pow behind the throne. There Is a on sided newspaper row on In Norfo In which the chief crime yet fo'ui against a member of The News for Is that ho rides a bicycle and rides tl sidewalk. Having failed to Injure hi Uherwlse. the more or le-s eateenu rontcnii > ( > rary fee's a way to curU his prlvlk ( s - and he must stop tl bicycle habit. And so must other bin ness men and laboring men who u But It IB doubtful whether the council | will allow themselves to bo led Into taking part In a newBpaper row. The council really has something else to do than to take up tbo cudgel of one newspaper man toward another , a pol icy that If applied to all the petty rows In town would soon Involve the Individual members of the council In a mighty big pock of trouble. The bi cycle ordinance that has stood on the books of this city for years has proven very satisfactory , no harm has como i from It and there has not been one single complaint until tbo newspaper ' man aforesaid thought ho saw a way to Injure another. Unless the council Is composed of men of much smaller callbro than Is believed , that body will promptly convey the proposed ordi nance to the waste basket with tongs when presented , as they would any other proposition that has a bad look > and a worse smell. Elscley Back at O'Brien. Police Judge Elsoley coinea right back at Night Officer O'Brien , who recently replied to statements made by Judge Eisoley In court. Judge Klseley In his statement says that O'Brien refused to jail a woman whom the judge ordered jailed. This IB the statement : Norfolk , Neb. , Dec. 2. Editor News : The mountain labored and broughl forth a mouse. Night Ofllcer O'Brien'f communication In The News of the 28th hardly needs a reply were II not for one or two mistakes therein Night Ofllcer O'Brien finds fault will : a certain statement I made on a cor tnln occasion , to-wit : that certain per sons residing in the east part of the city "have bad too much police pro tection. " _ No more proof to corroborate "thai statement Is required than the actloi on a certain occasion on the nlghl of November 22 by O'Brien. ' On thai date at 9 p. in. , George Fox upor oath signed a warrant charging thre Inmates In one bouse In said dlstricl on that day there and then with as sault to wound , and attempt to shoo him , and they did shoot but hit his horse Instead. He also had two loose teeth and was bleeding. I placed the warrant for the arrest of three in mates In O'Brien's hand , but before I got out of tbo ofllco the ofllcer hae returned with one of the defendants I told them on arrival that this was a matter for the county attorney am that she would probably have to pass the night In jail and In the meantime consult an attorney , but the office ! Insisted that bo return his warran and that she be allowed to plead ; suppose guilty or not guilty. Of course under that complaint and for the reas on that a reasonably diligent effort hae not been made to arrest the other two It being then after 9 p. m. to returr the warrant. In other words , then am there to have a trial was out of the question. Then , the officer flung his warrant on the table and escorted th < prisoner out , where to I know not , bu I do know not to the jail , the pro per place. Where were the other defendants' Why so much haste to proceed witl the trial at night ? What else , then could be done but to call the con stable , the chief not being on duty a that late hour. Officer O'Brien com plains that on a certain other occasloi from certain other houses ho collect ed $147 and that I received $12 out o it , and he got nothing. Now , he get ! a respectable salary and I get none I suppose he wants me to divide the $12 , also. It is true that at i certain instance ho refers to a buncl was taxed in lines and costs in al $100.20 and the payee started off t ( bring the money into court and hli chief detailed him to accompany he lest she might forget to come back The officer's services were paid witl an equal amount true , not to him , bu to those who pay him his salary Neither was there $147 as ho statei but only $100.20.
