"I stood on the bridge nt midnight AH drunk as a son-of-a-gun ; Two moons rose over the city There should have been but one. " A popular parody. For a man to see two nrc lights on the west end of Norfolk avenue on these clear nights Is no sign that he IIIIH been over friendly with Bacchus ; It may be only Venus that IH troubling him , for Venus Is the evening star now and Is said to he more brilliant an viewed from the earth than It has been In 250 years. VemiB , one of the nearest plnnets to the ( Mirth , Is always one of the most brilliant of the stars , but nt this par ticular time It IB visible even In broad daylight If conditions are favorable. It appcnrs now above the horizon be fore noon and for several bourn of the evening IB visible as n brilliant star. To residents of the city It Is visible to the southwest of the main part of the city , and has been the cause of much comment. It Is often mlRtnken for the nrc light on the hill , If the light IH not burning , nnd nppcars like n second arc light If the real one Is In use. Not Guilty of Wymore Murder.

The shots are small size , but are deeply im bedded in the llosh and it will be near ly Impossible to get them out. It Is considered remarkable that he was not Injured seriously. Out After the Offices. Pierre , S. D , , Jan. 1. Ever since statehood the Black Hills section ofj the state has had representation in the senatorial or congressional delegation from the state at Washington , and in every case the representative has come from Lawrence county. Several attempts have been made by the coun ties in the southern part of the Black Hills section to break into this ar rangement , but they have always fail ed. There are rumors that under the provisions of the primary law a strong effort will be made to change the past conditions. Tlio people of Rapid City feel that after more than twenty years of such representation from Lawrence county they nre entitled to a showing , and rumors are strong of their going after It for keeps next June. The of "stalwart" and " question "progres sive" does not appear to enter Into the situation , only the one of location of the congressman from the western half of tlio state. Up to the present the names which are most often men tioned in that connection are John F. Slirader and C. J. Buel. Shrader has ! always been with the stalwart faction I ' in their lights , and Buel with the op- . I position. If Rapid City decides to' ' mnko the light In earnest it Is not , likely that more than one of these | I ' mnn will be brought to the front , j While tills move is to a certain extent - j ' tent aimed at Congressman Martin personally , it is more largely a geographical graphical than a personal fight. I I ' East of the river the only open opposition - position as yet to the return of Congressman - i gressman Burke is the candidacy of W. S. Glass , of Watertown , who an-1 | nounces his candidacy for the next campaign. Among the state list the names nre coming to the front pretty regularly now. J. B. Triirnn has announced his candidacy for the position of head of the state land department , where he has filled the position of deputy for , seven years , and has acquired a thor ough familiarity with the work of that department , which would go a long way toward assuring a continuance of the policies of tlio past and present commissioners should he bo selected. The only other name which has been mentioned in that direction Is the booming which the Stanley county pa pers are giving N. M. Hanson , the lease clerk In the department , who lives In that county. It Is not known whether he will become a candidate or not for the place. For the auditor's chair John M. John- sou , present county auditor of Lyman county , Is out as an open candidate , and the name of E. J. Lampy of Water- town wns presented in an announce ment Immediately following the pro gressive meeting at Huron In Septem ber , and which was nt the time tnken ns n chnllengo to the candidacy of W. S. Glass of thnt city. While the list of nnmes for superin tendent of Instruction , which wns stnrted cnrly in the fall , included nbout half the county superintendents in the state not counting the "girls" It has remained at a standstill since that time , hut probably by now If repub- llslicd would Include the whole lint. For attorney general the only mimes In the open ns yet are Royal C. John son of Hyde county , who has made a' good record IIB state's attorney of that county , and who IHIH the backing of , the younger politicians of the state , | the move having been started by state university boys who were classmates of Johnson nl tlio university. Another j name is Hint of ChnrlcH Jorgcnsoii of RobertH county , now stnte's nttornoy. For lleutounnt governor , the only nnme yet brought Into the open Is that of State Senator Frank M. Burne of Fnulk county , whose name IH being urged by the papers In the north cen tral part of the state. Just where the situation will land HO far as the governor IB concerned Is yet nu open one. C ovornor Vessey will find friends nnd votes where he did not get them two years ago , nnd , on the other hand , will llnd opposition where he received support at thnt time. Who his opposition , If any , will bo appcnrs to bo centering on either ex-Governor Elrod of Clark , or E. L. Abel of Hu ron. If either of these men come Into the Hold It will bo as n straight stal wart cnndldnte In opposition to Vos- soy as a progressive. The candidacy of George W. Egan , which appeared to be somewhat formidable last summer , | now nppenrs to be dwindling down to. practically nothing. One of the hopes | of the stalwarts was in n division of the progressive an easy victory , bin that clement does not appear as strong as it did n few months ago. Two nominees for supreme court judges will he selected in the prima ries next June , and it is not considered likely that there will be any opposition among the republicans themselves to' ' the selection of Judges McCoy and | Smith to succeed themselves following their appointment by Governor Vessey j last summer. I Mittelstadt Sues. Mndlson , Nob. , Jan. 1. Special tot The News : Ixmls C. Mittelstadt of Norfolk filed a suit in the district court I against William (5.

Gossip IB That Too Much Cheer Had Caused Mistake In Orders. New York , Jan. 1. Did an excess of Christmas cheer cause the spectacu lar flurry In Rock Inland stock on the market ? That IH one of several ex planations offered In Wall street. to the multimillionaire According story a - lionaire closely affiliated with Rock Island and aware of the Friday call on London , prior to going to his home that day , gave tin order to his broker to buy 40.000 slinres of Rock Island common upon the opening of the stock exchnngo ' Monday , "at the mnrket , " and ' thnt a similar order was given , or was intended to be given , to another , broker to sell the same number of shares so as to equalize conditions , thereby effecting what Is known In the financial district as "wash sales , " u process strictly forbidden by the gov ernors of the stock exchange. The millionaire had been celebrat ing Christmas In rognl style , Wall street Is Informed , and as n result the j seljlng order was not given nt all or ( was bungled in some way , so that , the buying order for -10,000 shares par alyzed the shorts and sent the price of Rock Island skyward. Still another story wns to the effect thnt the same millionaire left a buy ing order for only -1,000 shares , but that a telegraph or telephone operator , who also had been celebrating Christ mas , added an additional cipher to the order , making it read -10,000 instead of 1,000 shares and that tills originated the scare in Wall street. Same Old Spanish Graft. Long Pine Journal : Last week the Journal published the contents of a circular sent out by the government in regard to the "Spanish swindle" which is being operated all over the world by n gang of Spaniards who send their letters out from Madrid , Spain. The following day after tlio last issue of the Journal W. B. DIckson received one of the letters telling him of a dis tant relative who is in prison. The prisoner has a large amount of money , secioted in n valise in Spain and wish es his relative in tills country to ac cept the snme and also to care for a darling daughter which is his only rel ative in Spain. The letter is gotten up in a very pleading manner and in nine cases out of ten the villains secure a | I ' victim to their scheme for obtaining money. In the letter received by Mr. DIckson , four pages of very small writ ing Is used in explaining how the pris oner intends to rend his darling daugh ter to this country with the fortune which goes into the possession of the distant relative in this country. The letter is dated at Madrid , Spain , on December 3 , 100U. and is supposed to have been written by a priest in the prison. The swindle is being worked i very smoothly by the villains in Spain I I nnd no doubt there will be many n par ty in the United States to bite at the well doctored bait , nnd only see his mistake nfter he has been relieved of a large sum of money. Defies Oldest Inhabitant. Tilden Citizen : Not even the "old est inhabitant" can recall a season that equals the present in point of in tense and continued cold weather in November and December. Snow lies in the corn fields to the deptli of about a foot , the thermometer lias register ed twenty-one below zero , and for two ] or three weeks past a temperature of , from zero to twenty below has been re j j corded daily. Snow has fallen fre j quently and no thaw has occurred , the only redeeming feature of the unus ually severe winler being the fact that the cold has been unnccompanlcd by high winds that sometimes mnke tlio climate particularly disagreeable. The first snow came when corn husking was at its height , and for several days or weeks farmers waited for the snow to disappear. But the work of gathering the big crop has again heroine general , and if additional heavy snows or drifts do not Inter fere the bulk of Nebraska's great cer eal will be safely In the crib within another week or ten days. TO BURN CLAY ? Norfolk Man Claims U. P. Employe Has Made Important Invention. Tlio conl bin will be changed to a carbonized clay brick yard , filled with neatly pressed bricks , which will burn as good as , if not better than , hnrd coal in the now appreciated furnace or baseburner , according to n Norfolk citizen who claims nn employe of the Union Pacific railroad in Nebraska has Invented n machine which will carbonize the loose clay around Nor folk , make It up In brick form and converting It In fuel purposes far sur passing hard coal. The name of the Inventor of this machine Is withheld by the informer , who has the utmost confidence In the now machine , which ho says ho has seen in operation himself. The ma chine In slinpo Is like a cylinder or a largo coffee mill , into which the clay IB dumped and a great pressure con verts the clay into bricks harder than hard coal. "I have seen hard rocks and stones thrown Into the machine , nnd the pros- 'sure ' Is HO great that they are entirely powdered , " WIIH the statement made by n friend of tlio inventor. "Tho iden IH thnt much clay contains oil nnd Ig- tillable seepage , which In time fornm a gnu that remnlns in the clay for n long period. With other processes which I cannot disclose , the clay Is pressed by the aid of the machine Into bricks , which will burn to n fine pow der and give as much licnt ns the av erage hnrd coal. " Tlio reason for the extremely high pressure , It Is wild , IB on the name basis as If hnrd conl wns nbout to be made. Many ycnrs of pressure mnkes the conl hnrd , and the harder the pressure , so much more Ignltablo sub stance Is retained , so It is explained with the clay fuel. Whether n patent for the now ma chine has been secured Is not known , but assurance is given that many yenm will not elapse before wo will be going to the brick yard for fuel instead of to the high priced conl bin. The Year at West Point. West Point , Neb. , Jan. L Spcdal to The News : A marked Improvement In material conditions Is noted In West Point during the year Just closed. Many substantial , modern dwellings of the best type have been erected and business blocks greatly Improved Long stretches of cement walks have been laid and In the prin cipal residence section of the city the streets have been parked. The growth of tlio town lias been steady and along tile lines most approved. West Point , the oldest town in I he Elklioru valley , Is situated In the center of tlio best agricultural region In the state of Nebrastyi. Ginning county produces everything common to the best of farming sections of tlio west and In great abundance. Corn is the prin cipal product nnd soil appears to pro duce this cereal each succeeding year with undlmlnlslied fertility. Years ago an effoit was made to convert West Point into a manufacturing cen ter ; the magnificent river at this point was doomed sufllciont to insure the future of the town in this direction and high hopes wore entertained by the citizens , the prophecy being free ly made that West Point would become the Lowell of the west. But these dreams vanished away , and the im mense force of the water power of the river is running to waste , a flour mill , cement block factory and a brick yard being all that the city can show in the way of manufactures. In spite , however , of the non-use of the natural advantages of the place there does not exist in the state a more'prosperous community than this. The surrounding country Is In a high state of cultivation , farmers nre pos sessed of large and commodius houses nnd barns , their farms are well stock ed with blooded stock ; they under stand and practice modern methods of farming and their children attend the colleges and university of the state. The city proper is filled with the priv ileges which make life wortli living in Nebraska. Magnificent school buildings , some of them ranking with the best in the state ; an educated , progressive high class body of clergy men of all denominations ; enterpris ing , up-to-date merchants , with large stocks ; excellent newspapers and a law' abiding thrifty community. A large amount of available capital lies Idle here. Tlio deposits in tlio throe banks of the city agregate more than $800,000. Much of this wealth could be made to circulate in the community if the opportunity was offered for in- vestment in safe enterprises conduct ed under the eyes of the people. A creamery is running here very success fully and a canning factory could be established with every prospect of suc cess. All the raw material necessary for the plant could be successfully raised here , its cultivation opening up a field of labor which would be welcomed by a large floating popula tion , dependent upon daily work for a living. A shoe factory would find this an ideal location. Land can be furnished for factory purposes for a song , living is cheap , hundreds of fam ilies of working people could be ac- comodated In the city and the com- munity generally would welcome most heartily any move to install n maim- facturing plant of any kind in the town. Assistance in may ways can be counted upon , prospective builders of factories will receive every encour agement possible both in the initial work and in their maintenance and future success. Material in the great est abundance Is hero at first hand ready to be delivered at the doors of the factories at orignal cost , quite nn important factor in the success of any mnnufncturing problem. Factories , in short , of any nature that could utilize the raw products of this region would stand every chance of permanent suc cess. West Point stands ready to welcome any proposition that may bo made looking to this end , and her pee pie will do their utmost to encourage and foster any now industry which may establish itself bore. Tlio Nel- burg Manufacturing company is run ning its factory hero very successful ly manufacturing a device Invented by a West Point man , the electro chemi cal non-explosive gasoline oil can.
