moved four pound tumor from the
back of Peter Poysen, who lives about
IL miles west Of town, Tuesday morning
The growth was what is called fatty
tumor, and was about the size of a
child's head, and was located between
the shoulders The operation was q
very artistic piece of work, but this re.
porter will most positively refuse to be
present again so soon after breakfast.
The members of the school board at
Lyons have Indignantly resigned their
office because the high school graduating
class Of boys insisted on delivering their
orations while dressed in overalls. The
class word adopted was "Work" and to
lend 1t additional emphasis the boys de-
cided to appear in working mems garb.
The board, learning Of the plan, en-
deavored to suppress it and failing in
that, informed the class that the ex.
penses of the opera house would not be
met from the school fund. The gradu-
ates answered this move by charging All
admittance fee, and the townspeople, en-
tering into the spirit of the jest, crowded
the house to the doors. The board
looked upon this result as an indorse-
ment of the students course and resented
it by abandoning the management of
the city's educational affairs.
The town is not in mourning as it
should be. No flags are at half mast,
no bunting or crepe are displayed at the
business houses, no doleful dirges are
being played or sung, no bells are tolling,
rivers of tears are not fowing-in fact
the solemn fact doesn't appear to brood
over the city and cause it to assume the
woe bcgone and detected appearance
that should betoien the great calamity
which has befallen of leading fam
lily. Perhaps the fact is not well
known, but Macy's COW is dead, She
had led an exemplary life, given her
milk freely whenever duly impressed,
bestowed few kicks against the common
lot of the bovine family and in fact bore
character above reproach and it is to
be hoped that she has gone to just re-
ward. Some stomach trouble was the
cause of her decease. Mr.. Macy of
course has the heartfelt sympathy of all,
but q deeper sense seems to say that he
does not deserve it and appears to be
rather pleased to be relieved Of the re-
sponsibility of extracting the lacteal
fluid several times day, not counting
the carrying Of water, leading to pas
ture, etc. Perhaps after all, it is best as
it is Nuf sed.

vicinity of Norfolk. The young man
started out yesterday and was seen to
pass through the Junction about 5
o'clock last evening, riding the wheel.
1t is presumed that he was on his way to
Omaha, the home of his parents. The
sheriff telephoned the officers at Fre-

start Made In the Basement.
From Saturdays Daily
The sea.lion whistle at the water
works awoke Norfolk citizens shortly
before 3 o'clock this morning with its
dismal fire alarm, and it was not long
until the fire department and large
number of citizens were on the streets.
The blaze was located in the
basement of the Rome Miller block, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets, the
lower floor of which was occupied by
Miss Ada Wareham's millinery parlors
| Miss Wareham and her trimmer Miss
Gertrude Patterson, slept in the room in
the rear of the store, the former being
awakened by the smell of smoke. She
awoke her companion aud entered the
store where she saw flames just appear
ing on the east side. They then went
out the rear door and screamed until the
fire alarm was turned in. Although 1t
seemed to them long time before they
got response to their cries, they sue
ceeded in arousing quite a number of
people.
The ladies then got their trunks and
some clothing out and endeavored to
save other valuables Miss Wareham,
however, lost some money and Miss Pat.
terson lost her purse with all its con-
tents.
BY the time the hose companies ar.
rived the fire had not made great head.
way upstairs and some claim that a few
buckets of water would have subdued
the blaze without turning the hose loose
and thus destroying what goods the
flames and smoke had not ruined. An.
other criticism heard is that no effort
was made to get any of the goods out
before the water was turned in. There
is no question, however, but that the
department went earnestly to work with
the best intentions and succeeded in
accomplishing the main object, that of
suppressing the flames. With time for
thinking better plans might have been
employed, but at such time very little
time is allowed for planning just the
right thing to DO.
The fire started in the basement, in
which there was good many empty
boxes and some waste paper, but how it
was ignited is mystery, it being sup
posed that it was set, either Intentionally
or by accident, by someone.
Miss Wareham's S stock of millinery in
voiced at about 81 900, on which there
was insurance for 5000 in the Rockford.
The stock was totally destroyed while
the furnishings were all badly damaged.
The damage to the building Is several
hundred dollars, but is fully covered by
insurance.
The matter of settling with the insur.
ance company has been placed in the
hands of Attorney John r. Hays, and
Miss Wareham will not know whether
she will re.engage in business here until
settlement has been made.
Both of the ladies were so effected by
the excitement occasioned by the fire
that their nerves are not in the best of
condition today.

G.. T. Sprcchor, the local manager,
has received his new tariff sheet, which
shows some interesting figures to those
who do business over the wires,

The reductions range from about 100 per

To indicate what the reduction Is,
few instances of interest to Norfolk pa

To Omaha the old day rate was Sl,O0;

There ought not to be such an over
whelming sense of depression and weak
ness as woman feels at this time and there
would not be if she was in perfectly strong
and healthy condition. In thousands of
cases motherhood has been divested of all
its dangers and large proportion of its
pain by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is the most marvellous
remedy ever discovered for restoring com
plete organic health and strength to the
delicate special structure involved in moth
erhood. Taken early during the prospective
time it makes the mother strong energetic
and cheerful and carries her through the
period of trial with comparative comfort
and ease. 1t increases the baby's natural
constitutional vigor and adds to the joys of
motherhood the supreme satisfaction Of a
strong, robust, lusty infant. Favorite Pre-
scription is also the best supportive tonic
for nursing mothers. Every expectant
mother will appreciate what is said by Mrs
Fannie M Harry, of Galesburg, Ills. trt5

she writes
