He Explains Ruling in Regard to Fam
lilies Of State Employees.
From Tuesdays Daily.
After inspecting affairs ut the Nor.
folk hospital for the insane yesterday
Governor Ezra =. Savage came to the
city and was the guest of his daughter,
Mrs O. M. James, over night. During
the evening an informal reception was
held at the Office rooms of Messrs
Barnes 81 Tyler in the Mast block and
he was met there by number Of bust.
ness men and politicians. He returned
to Lincoln on the early train this morn
ing
The governor stated last evening, con-
cerning the recent ruling that the
families of employees at state institu.
tions are not to live Mt the institutions,
that it is probable that the order will be
modified so that the families may con-
tin ne to reside at the institutions by
paying their board to the state at q
rate proportionate to the cost of main.
tanning the institutions. The governor
gave ~ the reason for the new order
that at some of the state institutions
the free board privilege had been shame
fully abused in the past, one instance
being related of an employe who not
only tried to have the state keep his own
family but several of his relatives. If
a man works for private firm or enter.
prise he expects to provide for the main.
tenance of his family out Of his salary
and the governor sees no reason why a
person working for the state should be
any better treated. The law provides
that certain employees shall be paid a
certain amount and board, but says
nothing about boarding their families,
hence the governor believes that in
justice to the tax payers no extra per-
sons should be boarded at public ex-
pense

How He Makes Friends.

A Missouri paper says that Senator
Cockrell keeps in closer touch with the
people Of his state than any other man
In the senate. One Of his habits, ac-
cording to capitol gossip, Is to read in
the senate the name of every con-
stituent who sends him a petition.
Other senators content themselves
with presenting petitions in an indefi-
mite bunch, and in this impersonal
fashion they are noted in The Congress
sional Record. CockrelPs way is diff
ferent, and when The Record appears
there are the names of his constitu-
ents, looking very large. Forthwith to
each person thus distinguished goes
a copy of The Record, which is shown
with much pride at the country store
or postotfice, and the voter is friend
of Cockrell for life.

to be coming over with blood in their
eye and hot game is anticipated
Oakdale is advertising the Norfolk
team for the game at that place as "the
only Nebraska team able to defeat Glen
wood" This should be honor enough
but the Norfolk friends of the team
hope they will be able to defeat Oakdale
and all other teams in the state during
the balance of the season.
There will be base ball tournament
at Madison Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday of next week and an interest
ing series of games is expected. The
people have offered 800 prize for each
game, which is inducement for some
strong, honest playing. The games
scheduled are Norfolk VS.. Stanton Tues
day Creighton VS.. Schuyler Wednes-
day and the winners of the two games
will be matched Thursday. They are
four strong teams and the playing will
be sharp

GLENNOOD IS DEFEATED.
First Nebraska Game is Lost
to Norfolk.
NOT AS GOOD AS WEDNESDAYS

Left Handed Featherstone Was One
Too Many for the Visitors-Glen-
wood Boys Objected to One Deci-
sion of the Umpire.
From Mondays Daily
The Oakdale Sentinel says that the
team of that town has never been de.
feated except by left handed pitcher
and the Glenwood team carried such u
pitcher. If this is the basis of that
teams success they took dose of their
own medicine in Norfolk Saturday and
met with their first defeat at the hands
of Nebraska team. Pitcher Feather.
stone was one too many for them and
the Norfolk team was credited with the
first victory in contest with the Iowa
boys. OF course everybody was hilari-
Gus, and they had right to be.
There was large crowd in attend.
auce and the playing was fast and fur
ious. The Norfolk team was in good
form and after having given the Iowa
boys the hardest rub of their tour during
their previous visit they undoubtedly
went in with the determination of Civ.
ing them their first defeat. The game
was umpired by Smith of Tilden, which
is guarantee that the victory was
fairly earned.
The Glenwood boys made several
costly errors and from scientific stand.
point the game was far from being as
good as the one of Wednesday. In the
seventh inning the visitors differed from
the umpire on decision that retired the
side and took it with ill grace that he
would not reverse his finding. They
claimed foul ball and the umpire held
that it was fair, the batter being put out
at first
In the third inning Rowe of Glen
wood was hit squarely in the head by
one of Featherstone's fast balls and was
laid fiat, the blow rendering him uncon.
scious for some moments. He shortly
recovered and continued in the game to
the end.
Following is the story of the game in
detail:

New York Hospitnlity.

The hospitality of smaller places IL
rare If not unknown in New York.
Hospitality there is different and tends
to be swamped by numbers and even
chilled into an apparent Indifference
that Is really compelled by circum-
stances. Often it makes brave fight
and never wholly gives up, but 1t is a
struggle against great odds. Not sell
dom 1t happens that the enormous az
gravation of social and intellectual op-
portunitles that confronts country peo-
pie who come to live in New York so
discourages them that they end in liv-
ing narrower lives in the great city
and seeing fewer people than in the
smaller town from which they came.
And If it does not discourage them il
is apt to drive them too hard. A New
Yorker who already had a house in
town and another in the country near
by excused himself for building a third
in New Hampshire by saying: "In
town or near town | never get away
from engagements. / want a place
where | can have some leisure, and
leisure to New Yorker means, OF
course, a chance to do some work.

WAYNE TEAM EASY.
Defeated by Score of 10 to Yester-

County Clerk.

Defeated by a Score of 10 to Yester-
day afternoon.
From Saturdays Daily;
The ball game yesterday between the
team from the Wayne normal college
and the Norfolk team was an easy one
for the latter, the home team winning
by score of Is to 5. The feature of
the game was Davey's batting. He
went to bat five times, the first time
knocking out home run on the first
ball pitched. He followed this with
two 2-base. hits, and one 3 bagger.
Alberts made 2.baSe hit also Koenig-
stein and Jones, while Porter went on
record for two 2-baggers. The Norfolk
battery was Koenigstein and Buehner.
Eighteen hits were made by the Norfolk
team and there were four earned runs
Double plays were: Davey to Plum to
Partridge, Porter to Davey. Sacrifice
hits were made by Davey and Koenig-
stein.
The battery of the Wayne normal
team was O'Klef and Barton. They
had no earned runs and IS errors were
marked against them when the scorer
quit counting. O'Kief made 3.basC
hit.
The Wayne team was clearly out
matched and the game was uninterest-
ing.

Rape Case at Madison.

Wednesday morning the citizens Of
this city were surprised and shocked to
learn that an assault with attempt to
commit a rape had been committed by
Warner Sutherland about half past
nine Tuesday evening. The assault
was made upon Bertha Rowlett, a
young lady seventeen years of age, of
excellent reputation and unblemished
character. The assault was of most
determined and brutal character, and
Sutherland was only prevented from
accomplishing his purpose from the
fact that the cries of the young lady
brought assistance and caused Suther-
land to take flight. 1t is supposed that
Sutherland escaped by riding out of
town on horseback and up to this time
has not been apprehended. Miss Ber-
tina Rowlett, the young lady in ques.
ton, is the daughter of widowed
mother, and has been q resident of this
city for a number of years. Sutherland
came here about year ago and has
been employed in his fathers barn
When the facts of the assault became
known, great Indignation was expressed
by the citizens and a determined effort
will be made to apprehend Sutherland
and bring him to justice Madison Star

Spelling Conte st.


The spelling contest announced by
Supt. Crum came off at the High school
building last evening. Only thirty five
teachers could be induced to take part
in it. This is taken as evidence of the
fact that large proportion of the
teachers are fearful of their ability in
this subject. A general effort is being
put forth to improve the work in this
line. The Eighth grade examinations
during the past three years by Supt
Crum have done much to cause the ex-
penditure of more effort on spelling and
a correspondening improvement, The
Eighth grade pupils of the county aver
aged 50 in the first examination and SO
in the last. That is, the pupils three
years ago spelled on the average SO
words out of 100 and last year they
spelled SO words out of 100.
In the contest last evening 20 of the
80 made grades above 75 OF these six
are young teachers of but one or two
years experience, six are young people
expecting to teach for the first time this
year and eight teachers of more than
two years experience, OF the l5 fall,
ing below 49, eight were teachers OF
more than two years experience and
seven of less than two years, or no ex,
perience, the test showing that the
younger teachers in both classes hold
the advantage over the older ones

Humphreys defeat yesterday by the

up a pretty good game in that there
were II strike outs and not base ON
balls, but the Norfolk boys hit him
pretty regularly and he was not sup

costly errors. Plum gave but few hits
and when one was made it was usually
within reach of the fielders and every
