ROAD WILL NOT BUILD SPUR State Will Have to Resort to Law in Norfolk Case.. BOARD OF CONTROL HITS SNAG I.rn-lstatnrr Appropriated Seren Thonwnd Dollar for Material Board Will Expend It, bnt '. ftonri Will Not Rnlld. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. .-(Speclal.)-After all the work and talk required to get the legls'ature to make an appropriation of J7.000 to build a spur track from thel road of the St. Paul, Minneapolis A Omaha railroad to the Insane asylum at Norfolk, a mile away, tho road now comes forward and refuses to build the spur. If It doesn't want to build the track, that settles It; for the railway commis sion, according to Its chairman, cannot compel the company to build the track. The Board of Control already had Ar ranged for tho rlght-ofway and had agreed to pay $500 for the land needed, but iris now up against the proposition of hauling a'l of the material for Im provements to be made, which on ac count ot the distance runs the expense of the Institution very high. It had been estimated that there would bo enough saved In cartage from the railroad to the asylum on the new buildings and Im provements with the hauling of coal this year to have paid for the building of the track. The board may commence suit In the courts to compel the company to build the track, as the state law requires that nil railroads must build side tracks to grain elevators or other Industries It the parties asking for the spur will pay the cost of construction. But In case the courts were resorted to delays and ap peals would run the. matter over for at least two years, and by that time the hew building would be completed and most of the work for which the track Is needed done.

This co-operative idea was born of bigness. Its organizers, includingi ourselves, gave it breadth, scope and liberalities. v ; We put & good piano back of it upon which the idea could stand:-a piano j which for years has sold at varying prices up to as high as four hundred dollars. We fixed its price at the lowest .possible dollar that the most economical selling methods would permit twm hundred and forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents. We arranged the easiest sort of payments one dollar and twenty -five cents a tvk. We charged the most nominal cash fee to participate in this sale -five dollars-rand even credited this five dollars to the price of the instrument selected. 1 "We delivered the instrument immediately notwithstanding, in scores of instances, the five J11 1 L uuuar initial payment am not cover tne cartage. We planned an exchange privilege, which gives the purchaser a year to fully satisfy himself as to the nigh character of the piano he obtains. We got up a joint guarantee which stands today as the strongest guarantee given upon anything that is offered for sale. We are making it a voluntary practice to can cel all payments remaing unpaid, in event that a purchaser dies before his piano has been fully paid for. We worked out a cash premium feature; where by every purchaser can earn cash premiums by making extra weekly payments when they wish. And finallywe offered to give any one their money back provided they would but ask for it within thirty days of the time their piano was delivered.
