INDIAN DANCES THREATENED.
But Oklahoma Tribes Will Try to Get
Washington Interference.
Oklahoma City , Okla. . Nov. 9.
Smarting under the threat of the In
dian agent at Segar to abolish the
"willow" and the "gift" dances of the
Cheyenne and Klowa tribes , a dele
gation of Indians headed by Chief
Cloud and Chief Washeo has success
fully pleaded with Gov. Cruco to in
tervene In tholr behalf at Washing
ton. The dances date from the time
the Indians roamed the plains and
the red men are loath to give them
up. They pooh-pooh the idea that the
gatherings on occasions of this character -
actor lead to trouble and declare that
a fnlr measure of the white man's
liberty Is being denied them.
The "willow" dance , they said , Is
Riven when some bravo decides to
consecrate himself In certain services
to the tribe and It lasts about two
days. Only the men participate , paint
ing their bodies asas the ancient
custom. There Is the usual feast at
its conclusion. The "gift" dance Is
participated In by several tribes and
the squaws as well as the men take
part. They are garbed in their best
and the dance Is n very pretty custom ,
guests being loaded with presents as
evidence of true Indian hospitality.
NEBRASKA GUARD'S EYE HURT
Flat In It , the Pupil Contracts Need
Field Goal Kicker.
Lincoln , Nov. 9. Left Guard Elliott
of the Nebraska squad received a very
peculiar Injury at practice last night.
Elliott had broken up a line piny at
Hie center by the freshman team , re
ceiving the point of a fist in his eye
while doing so. The pupil of the eye
contracted completely , temporarily
depriving him of sight. Ho regained
the use of the organ during the even
ing and no serious results are antlcl <
pated.
The freshmen made their second
touchdown of the year against n 'var
sity team composed largely of substl
tutes Inst night. Center Hornbergei
was not In uniform , and Capt. Shonkn ,
Elliott nnd Warner were in the full
scrimmage. The 'varsity made three
touchdowns in the evening.
Nebraska is not going to bo caught
without a man who can kick a goal
from field In future games. At Ames
frequent opportunities for such a play
wcro had , but the Cornhuskers had no
man whoso too was trained In that
direction The two Franks , Purely and
Loftgren , are working on goals from
field , and it Is probable that Nebraska
will try for scores made In such a
manner in the future tight games.
THE FACES IN THE SUBWAY.
A Dutch Woman Journalist Flnda
Characters of Dante's Inferno.
Now York , Nov S Riding In the
subway , Dr. Emma Sanders , the dlS'
tlnguished Dutch journalist , said re
cently , makes her think of poetry.
This Is not a compliment by any
means , for the poem to which she re
fers Is Danto's Inferno , and the faces
ho sees in the subway make her think
of the tortured ones described by the
great Florentine.
"New York Is hades , " Dr. Sanders
exclaimed. "Tho faces I see in the
subway look like those of Dante's In
ferno. Sorrow , fear , grief , remorse ,
stupidity , envy , Inertia all are pic
tured there. I have yet to see ono
happy , contented face in your fearful
underground railway , that with its
confusion , dirt nnd noise shoots one
from plnco to place like a gigantic
pneumatic tube.

May Get New Industry.
If a committee of the Ad and Com
mercial clubs report favorably within
a few days on the proposition which
was discussed at a joint meeting of
the clubs In the Commercial club
rooms last night , Norfolk will got an
Industry of which it can be proud. But
until this committee makes its report
no public announcement could bo
given out.
After the Joint meeting a special
meeting of the Ad club was called to
order by President W. H. Dlakeman
and the proposition of electing a
board of governors for the club was
defeated. It was declared by many
of those present that If an amendment
was thought advisable , It should bo
brought up at the annual meeting
when new officers were elected.
In giving a brief history of the
work done by the Ad club , President
Blakeman declared that Norfolk
should be proud of nn Infant orgnnizn-
tion which could accomplish some of
the things the Ad club has done since
May 19 last , when it was orgnnl/ed.
Among the accomplishments of the
club was the "clean up" day when
thousands of tin cnns v\ero gathered
together by boys under the Ad club
auspices. This \\oik , said the presi
dent , has been commented favorably
upon by many other cities. The clus
ter lighting system , which the club
Introduced , the help in circulating
paving petitions which ho believed
would bo finished this year , and the
changing of the name of the Junction
to South Norfolk were among the oth
er things the club has done.
Thq committee in charge of the Ad
club home talent show , which will be
played in the Auditorium on Thanks
giving night , reported that everything
was progressing well and that the
show would make a hit.

maintaining a retail store at the cor
ner of Norfolk avenue and Fifth
street , entered a petition in bankrupt
cy Saturday morning. A constable
took charge of the store , the doors
of which have been closed. It Is said
by officers of the company that the
assets and liabilities will about offset
ench other nnd thnt they will amount
to $18,000 or $20,000.
The stock will be invoiced and sold
to satisfy the creditors which , will
require about thirty days , according
to officials of the corporation.
Two Men Are Badly Scalded.
Fred Marquedtson , a stationary
fireman , and Peter Cades , a Greek
laborer , cousin to Gus Cades , the
Greek merchant , were badly scalded
when a steam pipe in the Northwest
ern roundhouse exploded Saturday
morning. Marquedston and his helper
Cades , were standing near the
boiler when the cast Iron elbow of
the water pipe under the boiler exploded
ploded , throwing much hot water and
steam over the two men. A physician
was called and attended to the men's
burns. Both were removed to their
homes. Cades was badly burned
about the face , hands , arms and back
but the fireman was more lucky , his
face nnd arms being the most burned
Norfolk Wins from Columbus.
Norfolk , 1C ; Columbus , 11.
Successful fake plays , spectacular
long runs on the part of the Norfolk
team and the forward pass on the
port of the Columbus team , were fea
tures yesterday in ono of the most
sensational football games ever play
ed dn the Norfolk driving park grid-
Iron. Columbus was ready to oat up
everything that came before It when
the whistle signalled the opening of
the game. The Columbus heavyweights -
weights smiled with satisfaction as
they faced their less heavy Norfolk
opponents nnd the fnct thnt they had
ono Norfolk scalp on their bolts , made
them feel somewhat at ease notwlth
standing the cheers which floated to
the Norfolk squad from their admirers
shivering on the side lines.
Columbus kicked off to Fisher and
Logan made good gains immediately
afterward , with Hagel taking Parish's
punt. The little active men broke up
the Columbus line several times in
the first quarter nnd Emery , lllbben
Parish , Logan nnd nearly every man
on the Norfolk team showed strong
team work. Ogden received good ad-
vlto from Capt. Keleher , who hobbled
about on crutches on the side lines ,
at times forgetting the use of his sup
ports. Immediately after McWhortor
stopped Colton , the Columbus quniter
started another of the usual Coluin-
) tis mysterious long-winded forward
muses and the pigskin came Into the
lossesslon of Ogden , who In n long
run , took It o\er for the first touch-
low n. Ogden's run was about thirty
yards long and the side lines went
wild.
wild.Tho
The tennis were most evenly match
ed In the second quiutor and , while
the ball was In Norfolk's territory
nucli of the time , Columbus had n
very hard time of It with their heavy
men to Keep It fiom going over at
east once. Odlorne , lllbben and Me-
Whoiter stopped homo good runs In
this quarter.
AB the quat ter ended Columbus
failed to make a plnco kick. In de
fending his goal , acting dipt. Pnilsh
played nn active pint in getting poa-
session of the ball and taking it back
from a dnngcious position after Co
lumbus had tiled the forward pass ,
with which Norfolk had become fa
miliar.
Lucas , Koerbcr , Cndy nnd Taylor
were well mixed up in the beginning
of the thhd quarter. In this quarter
Columbus made good their forward
pass for some gain. Then Colton
minted and Hngel took It over for a
touchdown on a close margin. Rector
then failed to kick gonl , making the
score G nnd C In Norfolk's favor.
In the last quarter Parish's punt
was taken In easily by Colton who ,
on a dead run , was laid low very
gracefully by lllbben. Norfolk's next
possession of the ball in this quarter
gave them time for the shift play
which did not work on Omaha. After
a little confusion the shift was per
formed gracefully and Parish made a
sensational and spectacular run of
about sixty yards , through the Colum
bus men and to the goal for a touch
down. Fisher missed the goal. Kane
wns put In the game.
Parish , when tackled in a scrim-
mngo Immediately after his touch
down , was laid out for n few moments
but was only scratched up a bit. Lo
gan forwarded to Odlorne for good
gains and then In regular play and on
a fake buck Emery took the ball and
was away into the Columbus territory
before Columbus realt/ed what had
happened. The ball went over for the
touchdown and a sensational run for
Emery of about fifty yards. Fisher
for the second time failed to kick
goal.
Columbus grew desperate and , after
a series of forward passes and punts
In which Colton , Cnshon and Cady
took an active part , the ball was punt
ed to Cashon , who picked It up nnd
made goal easily. The run was short
and Norfolk's sprinters did not stnrt
in tlino to hold him , although ho was
tackled before he touched the line.

War for County Seat.
Burke , S. D , Nov. 13. Owing to the
fact that the town of Fairfax , which
is the temporaiy county seat of Gre
gory county , circulated referendum
petitions throughout the state and
succeeded in having the new county
seat law , which was introduced by the
Gregory county members of the last
legislature , referred back to the voters
ors , which is considered equivalent
to its nullification , a strong feeling
of resentment has been engendeiei
against Fairfax and a movement has
been stnrted by the towns of Ilerrlck
Burke and Gregory to form a coali
tlon , select ono of the three towns
ns a candidate by lot or otherwise
and give the two so selected the sollc
support of all three towns at the elec
tlon next fall when the question wil
como up under the old law.
Fairfax has heietoforo been able to
hold the county sent owing to the fnct
that the vote Is so divided among the
various aspirants that no ono of them
could secure a majority , as is requir
ed under the old law. Under the new
law nil but the two strongest cnndl
dates would have been eliminated a1
the spring primaries , and the contes' '
then definitely settled between the
two at the election in the fall. Should
the proposed coalition bo formed It is
expected to result in a very acrimonl
ous and bitter fight next fall but its
promoters point out that it will have
the virtue of quite probably settling
the county sent mntter permnnently
nnd will enable the county to erect a
courthouse , which Is a luxury that II
has never enjoyed yet , although the
county has been organized for seven
teen years.
