North Fourth street:
Fore!gn-Americans in London were QUIET
with downward tendency, the heaviness be-

that the Rusaan-Japanese affair had reached
an acute stage.

Chris. kummetz Dead.
[From Mondays Daiiy.j


Chris. Kummetz died yesterday
morning at o'clock at his home south
of the Pacific hotel, and the funeral
was held this afternoon, at 2 o'clock
from the house and at 2 80 from Christ
Lutheran church. The immediate
cause of his death was dropsy of the
lungs.
Mr.. Kummetz was born in Germany
90 years ago the 18th of January. He
came to this country 20 years ago and
located at Humphrey. Eleven years
ago in April he moved to Norfolk with
his family, taking charge of the board
ingshouse in W hich his death occurred.
Besides his wife, he leaves four daugh-
ters, one step daughter and step.son,
to mourn his death. Three of the
daughters are married and all the
children live here except one daughter,
Mrs. Bieberstein, whose home is in
Lincoln. She was summoned home
however, when her fathers condition
became serious and will remain until
after the funeral.

TlNrom Mondays DnIiy.1

ll'rom Mondays Dally.1
With yesterday the Fremont, Elkhorn
and Missouri Valley railway system
ceased TO exist and is now to be known
rs the Nebraska and Wyoming divi.
sion of the Chicago S Northwestern, il
having always been considered as O
part OF that system, but operated under
different name and separate manage
ment. There has not been n great
change In the official department, but
like the road the principal change will
be In names and titles. Circulars is-
sued from division headquarters at
Omaha Saturday morning indicate the
status OF several of the old Elkhorn
officials with the new Nebraska and
Wyoming division of the Northwestern
One is issued by George +. Bidwell
rs manager" thus indicating change
from the former title Of general man
ager" of the Elkhorn and appoints @.
o. Hughes as general superintendent of
the division. Another issued by Mr..
Hughes appoints III. O. Mahanna, O.
III. Reynolds and II. A. Harmon as sup
erintendents of the South Platte, east
ern and Black Hills "districts," re-
spectively. Thus Mr.. Hughes title
remains unchanged, while the superin-
tendents will now govern districts" in
stead Of divisions" although their
authority remains unchanged.
There will be a Encouragement Of the
office forces in the traffic department.
today to meet the changed conditions.
There is now chance that General
Passenger Agent Buchanan's leavetak
ing will be in the nature OF a retire
ment and not dismissal On n tech
nichality hangs the decision as to
whether he will be pensioned by the
Chicago d Northwestern railway,
which has an elaborate pension system.
The age necessary to secure this dis
pensation is sixty-five years, and Mr..
Buchanan is just sixty five. So in that
respect he comes safely under the wire.
However, Mr.. Buchanan was retired as
an official of the Fremont, Elkhorn &
Missouri Valley railroad. He was not
an official OF the Chicago 81 North.
western railway. The latter never ex.
tended its pension system over the Elk
horn road. 1t will now of course ex-
tend it over the Nebraska & Wyoming
division of the Northwestern But it is
question as to whether Mr.. Buchanan
will get in under that construction. He
will find out during his stay in Chicago,
where he went Friday night.

County Seat Fight of Gregory County
Results in Removal.
LFrom Saturdays Daily.l

Bonesteel, s. d., Feb. 2S.--After one
of the warmest county seat fights ever
known in this section of the country
Bonesteel has succeeded in wrestling the
prize from its rival, Fairfax, which for
the past four years has been the county
seat of Gregory county.
The fight was decided Tuesday when
court house bonds were voted upon, and
Bonesteel won out by a majority of
about seventy. Citizens of Fairfax re.
taliated by charging that the Bonesteel
supporters not only voted Indians In
favor of locating the court house at
Bonesteel, but that large number of
squaws, who could not be distinguished
from the bucks also voted.
AS result the sheriff has arrested a
number of Bonesteels citizens for al.
legged fraud and more than thirty war.
rants have been issued.
Residents of Bonesteel say that none
of the warrants will be served and
threaten to resist any attempt to do so
with force.
