Frank Norris. author of THE Octo-

writer and man of decided opinions.
He was wont TO say of the great fac
tors in moding public opinion that
1.-THE pulpit speaks but once IA week,
the press Is read with lightning haste
and the morning news is waste paper
by noon: but the novel goes in the
home to stay
This opinion was aired by Mr.. Norris
In the lobby of hotel in n small town
I'm Illinois. Among those present was
q country editor, who was prompted to
remark that the novelist's views re
minded him Of his dog Wolf Wolf per
sisted In running away from home, kill
ing chickens and annoying children In
the community. At last q method was
adopted by which the dog was con
tined to his own homestead.
"Chained him, eh?" was the thought
voiced by several Of the company
"Yes, sir" declared the editor. And
II your modern novel goes into the
home to stay let Wolf remind you that
it's on account of the binding"

Looking over the Location

that the Northern Pacific had plans
drawn for a new passenger depot at
the East End and that work would be
commenced in a short time. This

over, but just what they intend to do or
when the new building will be COM
menced We are unable to learn, put
the fact that the officials were here
looks as though something was to be
done.

Bardon Station.

II has been suggested that the rail
road station at the East End be called
Bardon, rather than court house, sta
ton. This would seem to be a good
suggestion ard worthy the consider

which body first suggested the latter
name The name Bardon station is
certainly more euphonious and would

ton is, viii it always remain this
way"
The report got out that a private re-
ward had been offered. but careful In
vestigntion seems to show that this il
not the case. The report wns also out
that private detectives were Mt work ON
the case. but if there ever were any
sleuths Mt work on It there are nome
now. Have they given it upi Or are
they waiting while for some good pur.
pose!
These are questions that the peopl,
of this section would like to have an
swered.
Dozen of theories have been run down
or partially run down by the citizens of
this city and the neighborhood where
the murdered Floyds lived, and of MI
the theories publicly advanced none are
considered good enough to tie to.
But it is the general opinion in this
section that if genuine detective who
knows his business was put ON the case
the murderer or murdercTs would b.
run down in a week.
Said q citizen:
II think the case is as simple as most
murder cases. and all that Is needed is
some one who is skilled in criminni work
to take hold of it. OF course no one vito
is worth the name of detective VIII trkc
hold of it for nothing.
The people want reward offered
but it il not my place or my neighBorIs
place to offer the reward. If it is any.
body's duty to offer reward we. tie.
people. would like to see it done 1T

This seems to be about the conccnsus
