Wives and Mates Fight. Nellgh , Nob. , April 27. Special tc The News : As has been thoroughly demonstrated time and time again , married life Is not always what It seems. .Justice McAllister and County At torney Illce were exceedingly busy after Si o'clock last evening In filing complaints against husbands and wives In the peaceful , city of Nollgh. The llrst complaint was that of Mrs. Blanche .larinan against her husband. Itlchard .larman. jr. , for assault and battery. The young man hail a good chance In the early part of the gamete to secure bond that was of a "gilt- edge" nature , but the ( hiding by the justice and parties Interested that a second complaint had been tiled by Mrs. .larman to the fact that her "life Intended" was charged with cruelty and non-support the "bond security" was of no avail , and the young man was escorted to the county Jail for fu ture developments. Wife Bats Him With Spade. The second scene on lllo at the of- lice of Mr. McAllister was that of a complaint Illed by Henry Bertram , who charges his wife with assault and battery and causing bodily Injury. It was beyond question that the affair was not of a lovoablc nature , as the complaining witness stood before the court with blood streaming down his face from wounds inlllcted by his wife , according to the statement of the ac cused , by a spade , which he had In evidence. It was on of those semi-monthly round-ups that this family has had for the past several years In the east part of this city , and in consequence have boon In the limelight as far as police or justice courts are concerned , but the tines have been so nominal that a regular breakout has been the result. A warrant was Issued for Mrs. Ber tram and handed to Sheriff Miller to serve. Upon her plea time and time again that she would kill herself be fore she would be taken from her house , the sheriff consented to let her stay , and took the husband to a hotel for the night. It was one of those scenes that rep resents a husband and wife continual ly quarreling over minor affairs and implicating the nearby neighbors as helpmates to one or the other party. Krom all appearances Justice Mc Allister will have more than his share of business today. AGASSIZ THE NATURALIST. Career of Late Noted Authority on Ma rino Plant and Animal Life. Professor Alexander Agassi/ , the dis tinguished naturalist , mining expert , author and authority on marine plant and animal life , who died recent ly at sea on his way to New York , was born In Ncucliatel , In the Jura mountains , Switzerland , In 1835.

From 1870 to 1881 Professor Agasslz spent his winters In deep sou dredg ing In the gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean sen , his investigations add ing to his fame. In 1004 he refused the offer of Andrew Carnegie to pay the expenses of n scientific expedition along the coasts of Central and South America on condition that Mr. Carne gie's name be attached to the expedi tion , but paid the expenses , amounting to $73,000. himself.

Probably the last operation Ed Dlz on , a Norfolk man , will have to under go for Injuries received In a wreck near Couer d'Alene , Ida. , some time ago , took place at Spokane hospital a few days ago when , after many at tempts to save one of his legs , physi cians found It necessary to remove It below the knee. Some months ago Mr. Dlxon under went what he believed to be his last operation and ho wrote his relatives here that he expected to be home soon. He lay In a Spokane hospital under going operation after operation. The broken bones refused to knit and with the aid of a silver bracelet holding the broken parts together , physicians believed the injured limb would soon heal , but this also proved a failure , and word now conies that his log was entirely removed below the knee. Ho is able now to sit up , but It will bo three or four more weeks before he can come homo. He has been In bed In the Spokane hospital now for nearly a year. With Mr. Dlxou at the time of the wreck was William Beck , one of the popular Northwestern trainmen In Norfolk.

BIG CROWD TO COLUMBUS ( Continued from first uago. ) gathered there to run things with a high hand and get tbo name of Bone- steel and the name of the Rosebud reservation Into the front pages of the big dallies. "Bad" Stories Good Advertising. And so It seems to me that It be hooves every town to make It a point to see that It is adequately represent ed by correspondents of the metro politan dallies und to encourage the sending out of Just as much news matter as the outside dallies will use , whether that news matter be good or whether It bo bad. People often will say when a local news item Is pub lished broadcast telling of some dis graceful affair that has happened , that this or that metropolitan dally is al ways looking for a chance to give the particular town In question a black eye , that It always seems eager to print the bad things with big head lines , but never the good things , and that the local correspondent should send out the good things that come along , but should minimize or sup press the bad stuff. In answer to this , I want to say that I don't believe any newspaper ever has In mind giving any town a black eye when It prints sensational dispatches with big head lines , but on the contrary the town that can get Its name on the front page of the big dallies under big head lines oven though the story told be a wicked or sensational Incident should feel grateful to that newspa per for the free advertising service rendered ami should give the local correspondent a vote of thanks for the valuable publicity that he has gained for the community. I have been assuming all along that advertising is just as desirable for a city as it is for an Individual business firm and 1 predict that twenty years from now every city of 10,000 popu lation will recognize this fact to the extent of employing , probably through Its commercial club , a good live ad vertising expert whose business It will be , perhaps along with the duties of secretary of the club , to buy space In the newspapers and magazines and fill It with effective advertising copy which will call attention of prospec tive Investors and settlers In given territories to the advantages of the city as a place to locate. Already this plan Is being follow ed by a very largo number of citizens with splendid results , and there is no reason why oven the smallest vil lage , if It actually has good points to talk about or advantages to offer the investor or the settler , should not adopt this plan even today on a small scale. It can be done and at a cost so small as to seem ridiculous. The city of Des Molnes is spend ing every year , I am told , 540,000 to advertise the city's 'advantages as a place to locate with the business or for a home and as a result Des Molnes points to nine factories that have been located there through its adver tising efforts. In last weeks Saturday Evening Post Dos Moines bought more than one-half page of space to toll what a great geographical and railroad center it is and how the rail roads favor it in the matter of freight rates. Some months ago the Com mercial club of Oakland , California , used a two-page advertisment in the Saturday Evening Post and as a di rect result of that publicity , in which was forcefully presented to the entire nation the strong points held out as Inducements for locating in Oakland , eighteen new factories. And oven Omaha has now come to the point where this plan of advertis ing its advantages will be adopted. An announcement this week says that five full-page advortisments will be placed in that many national maga zines within the next few months at a cost of $1,500 to present to the people ple of the United States the facts In tended to favorable attention to Oma ha as a business or factory location. Small Town Can Use Want Ads. And there is not a town or even a village in Nebraska today which , if It has any real advantages to offer In vestors as Inducements for locating , can not afford in a limited way to sys tematically follow up this same plan. The method to be used , I would sug gest , would be the want columns of the metropolitan dally papers circu lating In the territories from which In teresting Inquiries might be expected. A want-ad of fifty words can be car ried into a million homes for a $5 bill and with this inexpensive menus of telling to the world the advantages that a town has to offer , there is no excuse for any community to Ho asleep and "wall for things to turn up. " As was shown In the results received by Oakland , when eighteen factories located as a direct return from Us ? 5,000 magazine advertise ment , it pays to go after the new In dustries which can thrive in a town and the most effective and most In expensive method In going after them in all the world Is through the news paper space as a means of getting the names of persons Interested and then following up with a system ot expertly written letters just as the sales manager In any big store would pursue prospective purchasers with a scries of clinching follow-up corres pondence. It will scarcely do any town any good to spend Its money on advertising unless 11 has real genuine Inducements to offer the Investor or the now Industry. With town adver tising just as with any other class of advertising the first essential must bo positive ability to deliver the goods. Without being able to deliver the goods advertising always must prove a failure. Once the prospec tive Investor becomes Interested ( n a city the city must bo able to t ind on Its own legs and upon thorngh investigation to demonstrate to the stranger that It holds future success for him and for his line of business. The city of Des Molnes , at the pres ent time , is advertising something like this : "There Is enough business In Des Molnos territory going a-beg ging today in three great lines to make highly profitable the establish ment of these three enterprises a farm wagon factory , a glass bottle factory , a custom factory. " By spreading the fact that It has opening for those three factories Des Molnos will succeed In securing them and by spreading the fact that your town has an opening for a packing plant or for a brewery or for wha not , your town will Just as sure ! secure the Industries that It goes alter tor through judicious advertising a those other cities provided you town really does offer Inducement for those Industries. The State Should Advertise. And along the line of paid adver Using which will help a communlU might be suggested a system of ad vertlsing done by the state Itself li the magazines and larger newspapers by an appropriation of the state legls lature. Iowa found that Its popula tlou was being drained six years ago because Its people were leaving to locate In those states which maintain ed publicity bureaus and which spent money In advertising. Men all over the state began asking what Iowa could do to stop this drain on her men. As a result of this agitation the Greater Iowa club was formed. It is made up of business men throughout the state , every member paying $1 per year and this money is being spent to further the Interests of the state of Iowa. That club Is now pre paring to ask the state legislature to pass a bill providing for state ad vertising to place Iowa on a par with ether states and to direct the at tention of other states to Iowa's ad vantages. Already a number of states have sot asldo appropriations for tills port of state advertising. Among these are South Carolina , Tennessee. Wyoming , North and South Dakota , Idaho , Nevada , Texas , Wisconsin and Minnesota. And from the fact that Nebraska has such a wealth of op portunity to offer new citizens as well as the fact that wo are competing with ether states which are taking prospective settlers away from us It would seem that the State Association of Commercial clubs would accom plish an achievement of very vital value to the entire people of this commonwealth by starting a move ment which would succeed in Inducing our next legislature to set aside an appropriation for state advertising. Town Loyalty Helps. Another effective means of adver tising for any community will be found in the loyalty to a town of its citizens. It Is said that If a Kansas City man riding on a train to Omaha were to lose his hat In the wind he would wait until lie got back to Kansas City before he bought anoth er one. That is town loyalty In a marked degree and the man who would do that will talk about the op portunities afforded by his town when ever the chance comes his way. One loyal citizen of that character recent ly went to Chicago and this Is What a Chicago paper had to say about his visit : "Frank Middleton , 'booster ' , ' from Tulsa , arrived in Chicago yesterday. Some people thought It was the comet. "In the course of a stop of a few liours on his way to Detroit to pick up an automobile factory or so for trans portation to Tulsa to supply the de mand In that city. Mr. Middleton had only time to make a round of the news paper oflices. To one familiar with Tulsa Chicago has few sights. "Mr. Middleton may take an auto matic telephone system back * .o Tulsa from Chicago on his return trip , as the prosperity of Tulsa Is so great that no girls have to work and switchboard operators cannot be obtained. "Having left there three days ago , Mr. Middleton was unable to make any estimate as to the present popula tion of Tulsa. "P. S. Tulsa is In Oklahoma. " This sort of advertising , coupled with regular advertising space that is bought and paid for , even though it be only In the want columns , and : he publicity given to a town through the persistent efforts of a live news paper correspondent , can not fall to * eep any community on the map In the minds of the public and If It has real Inducements and opportunities to offer can not fall , It seems to me , to ? et the desired results in new Indus tries and new enterprises In the long run. ELECTRIC CLOCK SYSTEM. Local Phone Company Installs a New Scheme in Norfolk. The Norfolk Long Distance Tele phone company have started an auto matic electric clock and time stamp service in this city. The clocks are being installed in various business houses. The time stamp Is being used 1) } ' business houses where a large num ber of people are employpd. A card for each employe is furnished and time arrived and departed are punch ed on the card by the employe. The master clock of the service Is stationed at the automatic office. The mechanical part winds up every min ute automatically. The time stamp is run on the same circuit as the clocks. At 11 o'clock each day time Is re ceived by the Western Union and sent out to the various clocks over the cir cuit. tiers Passes Away. Mrs. William Klug died at 4 o'clock Wednesday morning from old ago. Funeral services will take place at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon , Rev. Mr. Witte of the St. Paul's Lutheran church holding services at the church about 3 o'clock. Mrs. Klug was 83 years old and WAS born in Germany. She immigrated to Watertown , WIs. , from which place she came directly to Norfolk In 18G6 with the original German colony. She settled with her husband on their homestead northeast of the city where she died. She was ono of the last of the old original settlers of Norfolk. William Grew Players. Jack Johnson's appearance at the Gayety theater In Omaha gave Nor folk a good show Saturday night , but the weather man made It impossible for many people to attend.
