1907. Eruption.
Intent eruption of Mount
TUB IB considered tlio moot
Krnvo In years. It tins been es
timated Hint ICtnn's periods of
activity occur nt Intervals of four or
flvo years , nH n rule , nml OH the last
serious eruption WUB in Jnnuury , 1007 ,
tlio volcano inuy bo until to bo main
taining KB schedule. Although the dls-
turbnnco of 1007 was pronounced , It
wns by no inoiuia as dostnictlvo an the
Krcat eruption of 1802. The most do-
Htructlvo previous outbreaks on record
occurred In lltit ) , 10W ) , 1W13 , 1702 , 1870 ,
1880 and 181)12. )
There was n. mild outbreak in May ,
1003 , and for n tlmo tlio Inhabitants
-along tlio slopes and In nearby towns
were ( lirown Into excitement , but Etna
nubslded after covering the country-
Hide with Hinoko and ashes and was
not heard from again until March ,
1010 , when at the height of the tour-
lot Reason In Sicily the crater opened.
It Is not the height so much as the tre
mendous extent of the mountain that
has Impressed tourists. Its base
spreads out almost twenty-five miles ,
and from there to the summit it Is
almost n perfect cone. At certain Rea
sons the sides are covered with snow
halfway down. The crater Is 10,000
foot above ecu level , making Etna the
loftiest volcano In Europe and the
highest peal ; in Italy south of the
Alps.
Eruption of 1907 ,
On Doc. 28 , 1003 , nt the time of the
Mosslnn disaster , loud detonations
were heard , and volumes ofsmoke
rolled out of the crater. A panic arose
among the people of Cntnnla , the near
est town to the volcano , but Profes-
nor Illcco , director of the observatory ,
nald that n great eruption wnu not ex
pected. Ills vlowH were confirmed by
Frank Perret , assistant director of the
royal observatory on Mount Vesuvius ,
who , After an Inspection of Mount
Etna on April no , 1000 , reported : "Tho
earthquake nt Messina has reduced Us
activity nnd for the time being has
taken the energy necessary to create
an eruption , lleports that Mount Etna
was In eruption are untrue , as there
hns been only n slight emission ot va
pors from the crater. "
It wns on Jan. 0 , 1007 , that Mount
Etna awoke after a period of Inactiv
ity since tlio eruption of 1800. Smoke ,
ashes nnd flame arose from Its sum
mit , which wns covered with snow.
On Jan. 1C , 1007 , the volcano , at the
sumo tliuo that the earthquake at
Kingston , Jamaica , occurred , became
more active. Professor Rlcco said that
the tire openings Inside the crater ,
discovered in ISOIt , had increased In
size , but that only smoke and the re
flection of fire could be seen. Ashes
were thrown out , and subterranean
detonations were heard. On May S of
the same year the eruption became
more violent. The lava How Increased ,
and the smoke was so abundant that
the whole atmosphere as far as Cata
nia was thick with It. There were
severe earth shocks , and Professor
Illcco was apprehensive of n great
eruption.
GIVES UP PORT ARTHUR.
Japan Moves to Chinhai Bay on Korean
Coast For a Gibraltar.
Purely strategical reasons hiiyo In-
duccd the Japanese government to do-
eldo upon the abandonment of naval
station at Port Arthur , In Manchuria ,
representing tin Investment of many
mil" ins of dollars. This station was
built by the Russians when they were
In control of the Llaotung peninsula
under a nominal lease from China.
Even after It was shown to fall of that
degree of Impregnability which was
the expectation of Its founders nnd
fell into the hands of the Japanese as
an Incident of the Uusso-Japaneso war
the victors did not hesitate to spend
imother great sum of money upon the
defenses.
Hut the acquisition of Korea by
Japan has made the Port Arthur sta
tion secondary in Importance from a
naval point of view. It was too far
Inland to be of any use In the defense
of Korea , so the decision has been
reached to abandon the place as n na
val station and to transfer as much
of the material as can be used else
where to the new site selected at Chin-
hnl bay , on the coast of Korea , a posi
tion that will command the entrance
to the Yellow sen and the great gulf
of Pechlll , ns well as afford a measure
of protection to the western coast of
Japan and the strait of Korea.
Great docks will be constructed at
this place , which will bo reserved ex
clusively for navnl purposes. The port
will be closed to commerce , while Port
Arthur will be released for the use of
the merchant marine.
High Cantilever Bridge.
Half of the construction work on tlio
Crooked river bridge of the Oregon
Trunk railway has been completed , and
workmen nrc placing tbo steel parts
of the remaining half In position. One-
half of the steel arch extends from
the north bank of tbo river out over
midstream and 340 feet above tbo wa
ter. The length of the bridge from
bank to bank will be 322 feet.
A want ad campaign will cure you ot
your pessimism concerning a man's
chances , nowadays , to find profitable
and suitable employment where the
road to promotion la not closed.
\
ooo
It was n year later before the vol-
i no became active n aln. This time
there were earthquakes In continuous
shocks , and n new crater opened nt a
helKht of 7,000 feet. It ejected col-
limns of steam and clouds of atones
and ashes. This crater became the
source of two streams of lava , which
followed the course taken by the lava
In the eruption of 1810 and ISoU.
How Etna Spouts Fire.
Describing the appearance of Etna
In the eruption of 1DO.H , a correspond
ent from Taormlnn wrote :
"Nothing could have looked more
peaceful that Ktna on the afternoon
of my arrival here. The sun went
down behind It out of n clear sky , Its
outlines becoming blacker nnd more
obscure until finally swallowed up in
darkness. From outward signs It wns
th" sumo sleeping beauty that It had
been since the last eruption In 1800.
In the morning April 'JU-thero was a
change. The peak was enveloped in
vapor , which It took only a few seconds
ends to observe was smoke , not cloud ,
but even then I did not realize that
there was anything unusual until I no
ticed the excitement of the Italians.
"Smoke was coming from the crater
nt the summit , but by far the larger
part from the east side of the moun
tain , a considerable way down , while
now and then would conio n rumble ,
Bounding like cannon far away. Later
In the forenoon the vapors from the
topmost cone ceased , nnd the smoke
swirled out black and menacing from
lower down , taking the shape of a
funnel nnd rolling seaward on the
wings of a westerly wind.
Novel Sight.
"Tho sight was ns novel to natives
as to visitors and perhaps more full
of meaning. All day long they kept
stealing awny from their work and
running to the housetops or other
vantage points to watch the changing
aspects on the mountain , but they
could not toll by day whether the vol
cano was In eruption.
" ' \Vnlt until night , ' they said. 'Then
If lava is flowing out It will show red
through the darkness. '
"So Interest Increased toward dusk ,
and as the shadows thickened word
wont around the town : 'L'Etna fuma !
I/Etnn fuma ! " True It was. The giant
fountain , after a ten years' truce with
the Inhabitants of its fertile and ex
pansive slopes , was again belching
forth lava from the earth's Inwards ,
though to what extent or with what
disaster one could only conjecture.
"From Taormlna It appeared as
would a huge bonllrc on a hill perhaps
a mile away , which glowed red and
yellow and now and then llared up as
if some one had thrown on fresh brush.
lUit when one considered thnt the
burning patch in the darkness was not
one but almost twenty miles away lie
realized that what he saw was a roar
ing furnace and that what to his eye
seemed gentle flickers wore , in truth ,
huge masses of molten lava spouted
many foot In the air , the result of tre
mendous convulsions In the depths be
low. "
ROOSEVcLT'S HUNT.
Cost Smithsonian $57,000 Colonel
Himself Paid $23,000.
In round numbers the cost of the
Roosevelt expedition Into Africa under
the auspices of the Smithsonian insti
tution was $80,000. The expenses of
the actual hunting were divided , the
Smithsonian paying about throe-fifths
and Colonel Roosevelt about two-fifths.
The division of expenses ceased when
Colonel Roosevelt started on his tour
of Kgypt and Europe homeward bound.
Secretary \Vulcott is the only person
who knows who were the contributors
to the § . " 7,000 spent by the institution
in defraying Its three-fifths of the ex
penses of the hunt. lie has assured
the board of regents that not one
penny of money appropriated by the
federal government was u < ed and that
the money was nil collected by him
personally from friends of the colonel ,
lie wilPnot make public the list of con
tributors until the National museum
Is ready to open to the public the
Roosevelt exhibit of African wild ani
mal and bird life. This collection wil' '
not be ready for at least a year.
LOOK OUT FOR BAD $10 BILL.
Secret Service Head Says It's a Dan
gerous Counterfeit.
"This is n dangerous counterfeit and
calculated to deceive , " says acting
Chief Morau of the secret service lit n
circular Issued giving warning of a
new counterfeit ten dollar national
bank note. It is on the Anglo nnd Lon
don-Paris National bank of San Fran : .1t
cisco nnd bears the portrait of William tI I-
If
liam Mi-Klnley. It Is of the series of
1002-03 nnd boars a check letter "H. "
This counterfeit Is regarded by the
secret service men as the work of the
person responsible for the counterfeit
ten dollar Pasadenn National bank note
which made Its appearance In Septem
ber , 1010. It is printed from photo
graph etched plates of good workman
ship on two pieces of paper , between !
which Bilk threads have been distrib
uted.
The housewife who has never made
ad-reading a part of her routine of
"home-management" is the one who
finds it increasingly difficult to meet
expenses In this era of high prlcoa.
It's Case of Ham and Scrambled Eggt.
Newton , N. J. , Sept. 25. A passing
train today frightened a horse pulling
n load of eggs and driven by Hey Ham.
The liorso bolted , the wagon tipped
over and Ham and eggs were both
precipitated Into the street. When
Hnm scrambled from the eggs he re-
seemed an animated omelet.
Sanitary Drinking Fountains.
Nellgh , Neb. , Sept. 25. Special to
The News : A special meeting of the
school board of Nellgh was held Sat
urday evening at the city hall , and
after considerable argument It was
finally settled to immediately install
six sanitary bubbling drinking fount
ains two In the second ward school
nnd four In the high school building.
The complete cost of these fountains
will . . bo nbout $100. ! The members of
the board were heartily In favor of
this new Improvement , but on ac
count . of the finances of the district
being ( at n low ebb , concluded to wait
a few months. Dr. D. W. Heattle , who
hns been for some time past agitating
the t [ fountain system , guaranteed the
board that he would personally pay
the cost of Installing the six fountains
providing that money would bo nvall-j
able on or about Jan. 15. To this the
board agreed and the order immedi
ately placed for the new drinking de
vices for the city schools.
Norfolk Takes Championship.
Norfolk 4 ; Crelghton 3.
A thousand baseball fans shivered
in a cool northwesterly breexe Sun
day afternoon on the Norfolk driving
park diamond nnd saw Norfolk take
tlio championship of northeast Ne
braska from the Crelghton team in
the only ten Inning and most sen
sational game of the season. The
score was 2 and 2 In the second in
ning ; Norfolk scored once in the
fourth and Crcighton tied it In the
fifth. From then until the last of the
tenth no scores were made.
In the tenth , with two men out ,
Williams , imported from Omaha , stole
homo and won the game for Norfolk ,
Umpire Hock handing the locals a
very close decision.
Honors were well divided between
Hlrsch : of Omaha , who pitched for
Norfolk , and Delalr , who pitched for
Crelghton. Hirsch received wonder
ful support from the local team and
Delalr was likewise well backed up.
Hlrsch allowed no man a base on
balls but only struck out eight players
while Delalr walked six players and
struck , out eleven. With the excep
tion . of Hlrsch nnd Williams , who are
both Mink league players , Norfolk
was playing its regular team while
Creighton filled its regulnr team's
place ' ' with several state leaguers.
The game was exciting from start
to finish and the crowd showed Its
appreciation by extraordinary rooting.
Although there was much talk of bet
ting , there was very little money
placed on the game.

Lining Up For Battle.
The political pot In the Third con
gresslonal district of Nebraska begat
to sing Monday morning , with a cam
palgn about to start for election t
the place left vacant by the death "
J. P. Latta. With the democratic con
gresslonal convention to be called a
2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon In Nor
folk and with republican committee
men to meet here Monday evening t
determine what method of nomlnatloi
should be followed , considerable add
tlonal political activity In this distric
has been injected into the fall elec
tlon.
tlon.Friends
Friends of Dan V. Stephens of Fre
mont are claiming that ho will b
nominated by the democrats in Nor
folk Tuesday , Mr. Stephens has mad
a more aggressive campaign than any
other candidate , although there are }
several dark horses la the field who
might bo sprung at the psychological
moment to make trouble for the Fre
mont man.
Hale a Formidable Possibility.
Ex-state Senator P. J. Hale of Nor
folk , recognized ns n democratic lend
er. Is being persistently mentioned
for the nomination and It Is highly
possible that his iianio may bo
brought very emphatically before the
convention. The Madison county
democratic convention was scheduled
for 2 o'clock Monday afternoon at
Battle Creek.
Among other prospective candidates
mentioned , have been the names of
Fred H. Free of Plain view , Attorney
Rose of Fullerton , John Kuhl of Ce
dar county and Ed Kearney of DIxon.
The split In the Pierce county vote ,
where Robert Lucas was Injected In
to the race to block Free , may re
sult In republican gain In that county
when election day comes , as Free has
a good may friends who bollovo this
wns n Stephens move to keep a dan
gerous rival out of the field.
Might Bo Explosion.
From all over the district conio var
ious mutterlngs against what Is term
ed an attempt of Stephens to railroad
himself into the job without consulting
the party , and from this zone of dis
satisfaction may come a spark that
will set off an explosion and turn pre
arranged plans upside down in Tues
day's convention.
It Is not yet known how the re
publicans will nominate. The repub
lican congressional committee of this
district Is taking no part In the pro
gram and the state central committeemen -
men living in this district , together
with county chairmen , have been
called by the state committee to meet
here and decide on the method of pro
cedure.
The republican committeemen will
meet in the office of Mapes & Huzcti
at S o'clock tonight.
Give Free Double Cross.
Pierce. Neb. , Sept. 25. Special to
The News : Pierce has been the
mecca toward which the democratic
politicians of the Third congressional
district have been giving their atten
tion the past three days. Thursday
Prof. II. N. Preston of Fremont , and
the private secretary of the late Congressman -
gressman Latta , arrived on the mornIng -
Ing train to put In some licks for Dan
tephons of Fremont. A candidate
y the name of Rose front Fullerton ,
ollowed Preston closely In an auto
nd was soon closeted with the lead-
ig lights. A trip was then taken to
laiuvlew where It was learned that
ho friends of Fred II. Free were
vorklng like beavers for that gentle-
inn for the congressional delegation
nd that a delegation from this coun
y would be asked for at the county
onventlou held Saturday In Pierce ,
hat evening one of the leaders of
lie county democracy was very busy
ntervlewlng the faithful here but the
ubject discussed was kept from the
) ublic knowledge. The plot came to
iglit , however , at the county conven
ion here when announcement was
nado that Robert Lucas , an extensive
anchman and stock raisef1 of Foster
n-eclnct , was a candidate for the con
gressional nomination before the
lemocratic convention called to meel
it Norfolk Tuesday. The Impression
H'ovnils generally that the candidacy
of Mr. Lucas was sprung at this time
jy democratic leaders at Pierce , who
inve little love for Mr. Free and have
shown their feeling towards him in
he past. The plot was evidently to
discredit Mr. Free In his home coun ,
y by injecting another candidate and
hus divide the county nt the con
gressional convention. Of course , af
ter the announcement of Mr. Lucas
candidacy the instructions that the
friends of Mr. Free would be uiianim
ously passed went by the board and
the manipulators of the scheme to
give Mr. Free the double cross took
halt a day off to hug themselves
with joy.
Plows Way Through Herd.
Plowing its way through a herd o :
cattle on the tracks a mile west o
3assett , Northwestern passenger train
No. 2 snuffed out five bovine lives
and left a trail of blood behind It.
The cattle had evidently gotten on
the right of way through a defective
pasture fence.
When the train pulled Into Norfolk
Saturday It bore marks of the trag
edy. The pilot was badly broken and
was smeared with blood. On the way
down from Bassett it was necessarr
to stop the train so that the crew
could pull beeves out of the ir'
trucks.
New Club Home Is Completed.
The formal opening of the new
Commercial club rooms In the Carlson
building on Second street and Nor -
folk avenue will take place Wednesday -
day evening , when the Commercial
club will give a smoker. Light re
freshments are to be served. At this
opening .Secretary Hawkins , who re
turned Saturday from Chicago , where
ho attended the annual meeting of the
Central Association of Commercial *
club secretaries , will address the
Commercial club members on "What
the Norfolk Commercial Club Has
Accomplished. "
The club rooms were finished a
few days ago and Secretary Hawkins
moved Into the new building.
Mr. Hawkins became a member of
the Commercial Club Secretaries as -
soclation and took part In the many
discussions on papers which were
read by other members. Norfolk's :
literature , he declares , made a "hit t , "
and , although Norfolk was the small -
est city represented , It was recognized
during the meeting as a "coming ;
town. " The next meeting of this as -
sociation will be held at Indianapolis.
J. W. Guild , secretary of the Omaha
Commercial club , was elected presi
dent. The association is maintained
solely for and by the secretaries of
Commercial clubs throughout the
country. These secretaries get to-
Jgether each year and exchange Ideas.
A co-operative bureau is maintained
between them nnd by correspondence
they make effective many efforts
which sometimes seem futile when
one secretary works alone. A regular
information bureau Is maintained by
this organisation and should some
concern cnro to locnte in Nebraska
the secretary of the city In which the
firm Is located Immediately notifies
secretaries In Nebraska towns who
are members of the association.

Judae Welch.
Pierce Call , June 22 : In this Issue
wo ( nro pleased to publish the an
nouncement of the candidacy of Judge
A. ! A. Welch for a renomlnatlon to the
position of judge of this Ninth judi
cial district. Judge Welch has served
this district faithfully and conscien
tiously and he will have no opposi
tion In the primaries. Ills superior
ability and fairness on the bench Is
admitted by those of opposite political
belief. Some democrat may perhaps
bt Induced to come out in opposition
to Judge Welch , but the people all
over the district have confidence In
his uprightness , believe In his Integri
ty and feel that his record should bo
.
endorsed. In these days of Independ
ence In politics Judge Welch will re
ceive the support of thousands of democrats
;
ocrats and populists. A year or two
ago the democrats of this county and
over the stnto preached nonpartisanship
ship In the judiciary. The rank nml
file of the democratic
, . party believed
their ' leaders slncoro in their advo
cacy of that doctrine and this year
are going to put that teaching into
practice by voting for Judge Welch.

Republicans Will Convene.
Third Nebraska district republicans
will nominate a congressman to suc
ceed Mr. Latta , at Fremont next Mon
day afternoon at 3:30. :
This was the decision of the coun
ty chairmen who met here last night
to determine the method of nominat
ing. Eleven counties were represent
ed and State Chairman John L. Ken
nedy of Omaha was here.
The conference was unanimous In
voting to hold a delegate convention
to nominate. It was recommended
that county mass conventions be held
next Saturday to pick delegates to
tlio Fremont convention.
Each county will be entitled to the
same number of delegates that It had
at the recent state platform conven
tion.
There was quite a skirmish over
the place of holding the convention ,
the conference voting G to 5 for Fre
mont ns against Norfolk. Tlmy con
sidered Fremont a strategic point ,
State Chairman Kennedy Speaks.
Mr. Kennedy came up from Omaha
to get acquainted. He was asked to
address the conference and did so
briefly. He declared there was no
reason why republicans should not
elect a congressman from this district
this year. The fact that Latta had
idn
twice been elected had never con
vinced him that this district was nut
utn
of the republican column. Ho con
sidered Mr. Latta's strong personal
ity as the telling factor. He paid US Us
tribute of esteem to the late congress !
man.
man.But
But by picking the best man In the
district and getting behind him with
united support , a republican can be
elected , he said.
Mr. Kennedy applied to Nebraska
republicans to support the state tick
et and elect It. Though an off year ,
victory Is essential tills year If the
state Is to bo republican next year
In the presidential campaign. He
urges all republicans to unite , regard
less of faction. Whether one bo for
La Follette or Taft , Norrls or Brown ,
ho asked loyal support to the state
ticket this year. There Is no
reason why any republican should
fall to support the state ticket tlilti
year.
"All Republicans , Anyway. "
"And no matter to which element
you ( may belong , " Mr. Kennedy said ,
"wo nro all republicans and no ( Mo
ment of the republican party repre
sents In any way the things that are
represented by any element of the
democratic party. There Is no reas
on why wo cannot fight out our dif
ferences within our own party and
then get together and unite for solid
party victory when the issues nro de
termined. Differences of opinion
show political life. I wouldn't glvo
n cent for n party that had no differ
ences of opinion. Hut wo nro nil for
republicanism , llrst and last ami the
prosperity of this nation depends up
on republicanism today as much an It
did in Lincoln's time. "
They'll Read It In The News.
In discussing the mass convention
for next Saturday In various counties ,
Mr. Campbell of Nellgh said ho could
n't notify all his precincts by that
time.
"Why. Tlio Norfolk News will pub
lish the call , " one delegate siuggostod.
"Oh , well , If The News will print
It , " Mr. Campbell said , "that , will
notify them , because every farmer In
Antelope county , 1 guess , takes The
Norfolk News. "
