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.
