For many months Mr. Hnrter hns been
troubled ly two-re1 jinlim from the old
wound mid lu > believed Hint a nerve
wns the direct cnuso of this pnln. Last
Snturday night ho suffered inoHt intense -
tense pnln and decided Hint the nurvu
Ktiould bo remedied. Mondny morning
it 9 o'clock , on appointment with Dr.
I' . II. Snltor. ho wns put under the In
fluence of chloroform In Dr. Snlter's
operating room and , nsslstcd by Dr.
UriiHh , Dr. Suitor followed up the old
wound for about six or seven Inches ,
tiut the nerve could not bo found. A
largo number of adhesions , however ,
which Dr. Snltor bollcves nmy have
been the means of giving Mr. Hnrtcr
much pain , wore found and relieved.
At 11 o'clock Mr. Harter had revived
and wns feeling somewhat better , but
complained of soreness from the
wound. Ho wns removed to his homo
Inter Mondny nftornoon nnd dcclnrcd

Under Knife Eleven Times.
This makes the eleventh surgical
operation Mr. llnrtcr has undergone
since ho wns shot by n careless friend
manipulating an "unloaded" revolver ,
eighteen years ago seven on the leg
In which he was shot and four on oth
er portions of his anatomy , Including
the removal of a portion of his stomach
ach , the removal of his appendix and
an operation for gallstones.
Most people think they're abused If
they have to submit to one surgical
operation in a lifetime , but Ed Hnrtor ,
through all of his suffering and mis
fortune , has continued to look on the
sunny nldo of Hfo and smllo. Ho gets
around livelier than most people of
sound limb. Despite his handicap of
but ono leg , ho shovels off the snow
around his home a corner lot at that
and does It before the snow is many
hours old. It was ho who , a year ago ,
circulated Norfolk's first paving peti
tion and succeeded In getting more
signers thnn were required by law. As
city clerk he is one of the most pop
ular ofllclals that Norfolk has ever
known.

Whole World Eyes Norfolk.
It has become a well known fac
among agriculturists not only in th
United States , but in other countrie
that Norfolk is instructing instructor
in the mysteries of scientific hors
breeding.
Although Norfolk Itself is in the li
fancy of becoming n pure bred hora
producing center , the prospects fc
gaining this ambition look very brigl
at the present time.
To G. L. Carlson , scientific hors
breeder , the term "infancy" in th :
work does not apply. It is to nil
anil the Norfolk Commercial club tl ;
credit is being given for the prospoci
of Norfolk's becoming a horse bree
ing center. Mr. Carlson has given h
entire Hfo to the study of sclentif
breeding nnd today ho Is regarded z
the greatest scientific breeder in tl
world.
From a well known agrlculturi
who visited Norfolk recently it wi
learned that the eyes of the scientll
world were looking toward Norfo
for new wonders of scientific lion
breeding and that instructors ha1
wandered to this city from all ov <
the globe to learn what they ha'
never known about the horse.
In a few dnys about twenty pu
bred Holglnn horses will nrrlvo In Nor
folk direct from Belgium , shipped hero
through the efforts of the Norfolk
Commercial club. These horses , with
the exception of n few scattered
through this vicinity , will bo the first
pure bred IIOTHOS shipped direct to
this city from Europe for solely breed
ing purposed. Farmers are taking n
keen interest In thin work and their
appeals for a bolter grade of horseH
have been answered.
Mr. Carlson will appear before the
farmers and Norfolk citizens on ono of
the three dnys" sessions of the fann
ers' Institute which will be held here ,
commencing February 28. Ills sub
ject on the platform will bo "Scien
tific Horse Breeding , " In which lecture
Dr. C. A. McKitn , owner of the Nor
folk horse hospital , will do the dissect
ing.
ing.Mr.
Mr. Carlson has on many occasions
refused to lecture before universities
and colleges , bccauso of his limited
time. Ho is being swamped with ap
plications to lecture before scientific
Institutions all over the United States.

her of business men who do not be-
llovo Norfolk should go without a race
meet this scnson. P. M. Barrett , sec
retary of the Northeastern Nebraska
Short Ship Racing association , holds
n pessimistic view regarding n race
meet hero this yenr. Lack of Inter
est is his explr/natlon. Last year's
races In this city were the best over
seen here , but interest wns not up to
the standard. It Is believed the race
meet this year would bo a paying pro
position owing to the fact that a largo
number of special Inducements have

consolation races alone will bring
some very good horses while the stake
race will not bo overlooked by own
ers of racers.
