Fremont Tribune : Now motive power -
or on the Northwestern , need for which
has been clearly demonstrated during
the s-evoral months past , Is to le sup
plied in the spring or early summer ,
according to railroad men. The small
onglne In use generally on the com
pany's lines west of the Missouri river
has been one of the best types known
In its day , but the necessity for speed
in the passenger service , and the ever
growing volume of freight business
causing longer trains and heavier ton-
lingo , have forced the engine of this
typo into the background and created
a demand for bigger and more power
ful locomotives , oven on the branches.
The Northwestern some months ago
placed an order for 125 now engines
of the latest typo , and it Is understood
tlmt seven of these , when delivered ,
will bo sent out to this division for
freight and passenger use. The addi
tion of the new engines on the lines
east of the Missouri will make It pos
sible for the company to put a num
ber of the larger engines now being
used only on the main line onto this
division , making n great reinforcement
to the rather crippled motive power
now In use hero.

The Clergy Makes Reply. I
N6rfolk. Neb. , Jan. 20. Hdltnr1
NOWH : While the charging of the full
price to ministers for medical services
may work a hardship to some who
have received favors , 1 think that the
change will be better In the end.
Many people ( norosUmato the amount
of special favors received by the cler
gy. Some still think that wo ride for
half fare. It may bo that subscrip
tions to the church have been affected ,
and that they will bo larger when It
IH understood that there are no favors.
I think , however , that the explana
tion of the action of the doctors In
the resolution adopted Is unworthy of
the good judgment of the medical pro
fession.
To regard that a minister Is well
paid who receives as much as the av
erage school teacher or bank clerk IH
to disregard all the facts of relative
preparation or demands.
Probably no physician In the city
has spent more time In general or tech
nical preparation for his profession
than has the average clergyman.
No profession makes higher de
mands or re < | iiiroB heavier continued
application or higher elllcloncy.
It Is safe to say that had the average
clergyman given the same time and
ability to medicine ho would bo re
ceiving fully twice what ho now re
ceives. Hank clerks are underpaid ,
the recompense for educational work
Is notoriously inadequate , but the av
erage salary of clergymen Is a positive
disgrace to civilization.
The explanation of the secretary ,
Dr. Mackay , that ministers recommend
patent medicines and had whisky can
not bo allowed to pass without an an
swer. There are quacks In all profes
sions , and advertisers are quick to use
every testimonial , genuine or bogus ,
from a "Hev. " because of the clergy
man's Intlnence , yet even so , two "M.
D.'s" can be found in such testimonials
to every "D. D. " Neither profession as
such is responsible or to bo blamed for
the curse of unscrupulous advertising
of nostrums.

Hecause the building committee of
the Y. M. C. A. building have no way
to get the grade of the Y. M. C. A. lot
established , they are hesitating In
starting the construction of the asso
ciation building. Plans are about
ready for the work and the committee
report that they are ready to build ,
but owing to the fact that the city has
no engineer , and information from
some of the officials that the present
grade has no value , they are at a loss
to know what to do.
Reports from Bloomtleld state that
a Norfolk man who travels for n lum
ber firm , probably named Chaffee , sus

adjusting a seat in a sleigh. Mr. Chaf
fee , it Is said , In company with a num

which Mr. Chnffee's linger was

Norfolk Loses Fire Tourney.
Norfolk lost the Dromon's tourna
ment to York by nearly Dfty votes.
York and Norfolk wore the only con
testants for the tournament , but owing
to the fact that York had already boon
working among the delegates in Fre
mont for the tournament they wore
successful. Norfolk heretofore had re
fused the tournament and. believing
they again would bo asked to take It
they wore a little too conlldent. The
vote stood -Hi to I0t ; In favor of York.
Herman Winter was again elected
state treasurer with no opposition. C.
E. Hartford was elected state delegate
to the national convontlon.
C. E. Hartford of Norfolk told the
Dromon how to care for Dro hose. Ho
recommended that It bo hung on a
tower or rack after being used. It was
not necessary to dry the rubber lining ,
but ( ho cotton fabric should not be left
damp under any circumstance.
Though the exchange of badges Is
one of the features of the convention ,
delegates who have attended other
'
gatheilngH of recent years say the oils-
torn Is not quite so prevalent as It was
at Norfolk hist year. Whore every
delegate took a supply of 100 to 500
ribbons with him last year , the supply
this year Is limited to 200 or HOO In
most cases. True to their protest the
Norfolk delegates have cut Nit the
custom , and , ( hough they have collect
ed badges , they have distributed none.
Each delegate from the reform town Is
wearing a big ribbon with a picture of
Norfolk's paid team.
For half an hour in the darkness of
night at a wee sma' hour Wednesday
morning frightened guests at the Now
York hotel peeped horrllled through !
the transoms at the antics of a half a
dozen ghosts rushing back and forth
through the corridors. At least they
mistook the white robed figures for
ethereal beings. They were , however ,
nothing more supernatural than Allh
ance delegates dressed in their slum
ber gowns searching frantically for a
fellow townsman who is known by the
appellation of Joe Hasklns. Joe , they
alleged. Is troubled with nightmares ,
and proceeded in the dead of night to
ride off on one. They Dually located
him on the second Door and returned
triumphantly with him to his room.
Ho swears he's done with nightmares I
forever and ever. ,

Omaha Drops Corn Show.
Omaha. Jan.'I ! - - Although iho
local committee has not made tlie for
mal announcement , it Is a fact never
theless , that Omaha will let go of the
National Corn exposition , and will
raise no objection to its going else
where. This local committee holds Its
annual meeting January ! ' < . and it Is
the consensus of opinion that at that
meeting no member will Insist upon
tlio next exposition being held here.
Wliile no city IIR made a formal
application for the ffext National Corn
exposition , the prevailing opinion hero
is that the prize will bo captured by
Indianapolis , Ind. , where the business
men are laying their plans for the
big meeting that will bring about an
exhibition of the agricultural products
of the country.
The National Corn exposition came
into existence three years ago , when
the first show was held in Chicago.
From a Dnaiicial point of view that
exposition was a failure , attributed to
the fact that while the show was a
gigantic affair it was too small for
the city. There were not enough farm
ers within easy reach , and it was not
a show that appealed to the city pee
ple.
TO KEEP YOUTHFUL DANCE.
Also Shed Corsets for Draperies , Mrs.
Boynton Tells Women.
New York , Jan. "U.Mis. . Charles
C. Hoynton , who says we rear barriers i
of plush cushions between ourselves ,
and our souls , and who believes the
clouds are sulliciont coverlet , told the j
Woman's Democratic club yesterday j
at the Waldorf-Astoria how to bo beau
tiful.
tiful.Her
Her doctrine of life is a sort of ex
tension course on the Isadora Dun
can cult. She preaches a homo of the
spirit and an uncorseted llgnre. She
also effects Greek draperies and allows' '
them to trail literally "all over the !
place. " She was enveloped in an
ocean of pink silk. She said she al
ways dressed that way except on the
street. Her daily regimen may bo.
gathered from her mode of life in' '
California , where she formerly made
her home.
There she , lier husband and their
live children slept "under the stars ,
with nothing to keep them from the
clouds , " till C o'clock in the morning , i
when they arose and sang a hymn to I
the sun. After this came a mental
exercise on courage , perseverance or ,
some kindred thought. Thou tlio fain-1
ily descended to tlio garden , where
they went through gymnastics and
dances for an hour. After this theyj
breakfasted and the duties of the day
began.
Mrs. Hoynton , who failed to suggest
the equivalent of these distractions
to bo practiced in the Now York flat ,
wont on to ray :
"You are cursing your children ,
damning them and dooming them to
hell on earth by sending them co ill-
smelling schools. The child needs
material food , but oven more needs
food for the soul the stars and the
ocean and music. "
To leave the body free and untram
melled , she declared , was the only
way to keej ) young. Women of SO
could thus keep beautiful.
"You will never bo fat without cor

SCHOOL LUNCHES AT 3 CENTS.1
And They are all the Children Need ,
New York Doctors Say.
New York , Jan. 22. - In public
school No. 21 In Molt street , attend
ed by 2,000 children , most of whom
are Italians , an experiment Is being
tried that may revolntIonize the pres
ent luncheon system In the schools.
About 200 children , ranging In age
from 7 to M , are now being fed at
noon. They pay three , four and live
cents according to whether the.v have
an ordinary dinner or fruit and cocoa ,
as well. The meal Is hot and well
cooked , and , according to physicians
on the committee. It contains more
than enough nonrlHlimont for a child.
Tlio luncheons are served under the
direction of Miss Mabel II. Kittredgo
and her co-worker , Miss Pool.
John Doty , principal of tlio school ,
likes the meal served for three cents.
Often he joins the little boys and
girls.
"The luncheons are Intended pri
marily , " Mr. Doty says , 'for the chil
dren of parents both of whom are
bread-winners. The house is closed
nil day , and the children , in most In
stances , are ( oo young to prepare food
for themselves , even if they went
home. Those parents give their chil
dren a few cents aploco. witli which
to buy food , but the children were
found , In many cases , to spend It on
the way to school for candy.
The ( cent luncheon consists of a
baked apple or a cup of cocoa in ad
dition to the H-coiit menu , and the
fi-cent luncheon includes both extras.
The movement is no sense of charity.
The children pay in full for what they
get.
"The luncheons are served steaming
hot at tables. The cooking Is Italian ,
so tlie children Dnd the tilings with
which they are familiar. There is
macaroni and spaghetti in abundance
and often there Is a thick bean or pea
soup with there slices of bread. Some
times instead of soup , rice and toma
toes are served. "
In school 21 the children look for
ward to tlio luncheon with evident
interest. They run to the tables when
meal time conies , and then after it
they enjoy their work and their play
all the more.
DIPLOMAT DREW COLOR LINE.
The Haytian Minister's Wife n White
House Dinner Problem.
Washington , Jan. 22. It is a long
time since tlie diplomatic corps has
been so agitated as it was last night
by an incident at the dinner given by
tlio president to the diplomatic corps.
Tlie vexing color line 'problem was in
volved.
Directors of ceremonials at the white
house affairs have long been disturb
ed by the delicate problems involved
in the entertainment of tlie different
races represented by the diplomatic
corps , and when Dupuy De Lome was
minister from Spain to Washington
he refused to take into dinner Mine.
Leger , wife of the then Haytian minis
ter.
ter.The
The remembrance of Dupuy De
Lome's conduct caused a great deal
of gossip in diplomatic circles as to
what would be the course of the for
eign minister assigned to Mine. San-
non , wife of the present minister from
Hayti. After a great deal of anxious
thought the state department deter
mined that the minister of Uruguay ,
Dr. Luis Molian Lafinur , should give
his arm from tlio blue room , where
the guests wore received , to the state
dining room. Everybody appeared re
lieved at the decision except so it is
said , Doctor Latlnur.
Everybody went into tlie state din
ing room feeling happy , and even Doc
tor Leilnur endeavored to rise to the
occasion. He took Mine. Sannon to
her seat and then to the dismay of
the Europeans , he loft and started for
the end of the table where he snt down.
Then all of the guests hold their
breaths while the men were taking
their seats. The minister of tlie Neth
erlands , Jonklierr J. Louden , a mem
ber of a noble Dutch family , found
himself at ono side of Mme. Sannon ,
and tlio minister of Venezuela , Senor
Don P. Ezoquief Rojas , occupied tlio
seat at the other side. Occasionally
the men talked French to Mine. San
non and arc said to have found her
well educated , clever and oven witty.
Tlie dinner passed off without any
other incident.
FOR EASY DIVORCE.
Throw off all Restrictions Is the Advice -
vice of Professor Blnckmnr.
Lawrence , Kan. , Jan. 22. Divorce
is natural. Divorce is a good thing.
When man and woman cannot live to
gether in peace or with willingness
it is time they were parted. Hut the
rapid growth of divorce Indicates evils
which are not apparent on the surface ,
and it Is at these evils that the laws
of the country should strike and not
at divorce itself as an institution. "
This is the statement of Prof. F.
W. Blackmar of the sociology depart
ment of the University of Kansas in
a lecture to the classes in sociology.
Professor Blackmar would put se
vere restrictions on marriage. Ho
would compel persons contemplating
marriage to Drst pass a physical ex
amination and then lie would have
them announce their engagement a
few months ahead and a legal notice
of their intention to marry published
in tlio papers. In this way , ho boliovcs
hasty marriages could be avoided , and
those wlio marry would bo more apt
to do it deliberately.
After he had made it as hard as
possible to get married Professor
Hlnckmar would then make it as easy
as possible to got a divorce. In speak
ing of this ho snld :
"I do not believe a man and woman
should continue to live together after
they wish to sever tlio bonds , but that
statement must have some qualifica
tions. The man has assumed some re
sponsibilities when ho takes a wife
which the law should not allow him to
shirk. Ho should be forced to care
for the wife and children ho has. But
the state should begin at the beginning
of the marriage relation to eliminate
what Is known as the 'divorce evil'
It should exercise more precaution
In regard to thoue who enter the mar
ried state and then It will have less
occasion to exercise jurisdiction In tlio
breaking up of the marriage relation.
"Tho rapid growth of divorce Is ono
of the alarming problems of society ,
and the state must got at the caiiHo
of divorce Itself for that is only the
Indication of an evil that lies beyond
the divorce court and starts when the
state says to all :
" 'Come , and wo will marry you. ' "

tain lectures in tlie liiishwlek Inlet
part of Brooklyn today when the wo
men folk hoard a story to the effect
that Valnska Suratt had danced partly
undressed Saturday night In the week
ly entertainment of the Green Point
branch of tlie Young Men's Christian
association.
The rumor of the dance spread quick
and wide and the more or less goody-
goody young men who attended the
reception or entertainment or what
ever it was , got biisy In double quick
time explaining.
The further the story Hew tlio more
skirtless It became , until Dually a
whoop of horror arose from tlio wives ,
sisters and sweethearts of tlie mem
bers of the Y. M. C. A. , and Mrs.
Caudle's celebrated series of remarks
became mere drowsy , good-natured ob
servations compared with the feminine
protests ; In tlio Pratt oil /.one.
An agitated chorus of denials was ,
uttered loud and long by the Green
Point Y. M. C. A. ollicials , under the
leadership of M. J. Stlckoll , the
secretary of the branch , who said
Valeska Suratt was positively and ab
solutely not at the entertainment , not
in any manner , shape or form. Tlio
bare idea of such a thing was ridicu
lous , he said , and furthermore the
affair was one of the nicest , sweetest ,
most proper things of the kind that
ever took place in the building.
All that happened , he said , was that
a young woman of the neighborhood ,
( i sister of one of tlie members of
the branch Y. M. C. A. , did a little
Greek dance a harmless little dance
in Greek costume--flowing Greek cos
tume , in Interpretation of Mendels
sohn's "Spring Song. "
"Was she barefooted ? "
"No , " the secretary almost shrieked
in terror. "No , she was not barefoot
ed. Her dance was the height of pro
priety. "
If Taft Falls.
Sioux City Journal : If President
Taft falls to accomplish anything
wortli while upon the lines mapped
out he will be held responsible , but
tiio main responsibility will not be his.
It will rest on the shoulders of men
who shout for progress , but are found
trying to set the brakes while Presi
dent Taft is turning on tlie power.
They are doing tills for the most
unworthy of political motives , namely ,
personal amibiton. They want to dis
credit the present administration and
the present leadership of tlio repub
lican party in order that they may
step into the leadership. Their cause
is being boosted by ( i crowd of yel
low publicists Hvho pretend they are
lighting for political virtue , but who
are really fighting for the joys and
spoils of war.
