apprehension and a rush to realize. but the later
reessurng reports brought a return Of confidence

One OF the features Of the week was the fact
that consols receded TO lower point than they
had reached since 1910. This fall due mainly
TO the continued tightness of money and the ap-
preaching reduction in their interest. There was
not much doing In other directions investors play

South Americans showed a decided improvement

The sudden dropping off Of prices
on the Nebraska market is being
charged up against the packers, who
evidently have under way systematic
attempt to lower the prices at which
they buy. and will endeavor to main
tain the selling price. This, as might
be imagined, Is unsatisfactory to
both the stock raiser and the con
sumer and there is likely to be an
objection, long and loud issuing from
both sides of the fence. 1t is estim-
mated that the farmers of Nebraska
were from three to five million dol
lars poorer at the beginning of the
week than they were at the same
time last week, and there may be
movement made for cooperative
packing plants, conducted on the
same plan as cooperative elevators
unless the packers will consent to dc
the fair thing by the farmers and
stoCkmcn.

Charles Toler Arrived in Norfolk to
Find that He Had Been Dead
Several Weeks.

Charles Toler, formerly of Norfolk
but now of Ladoga, Ia, had a pecu-
liar experience when he returned to
Norfolk last Saturday for a visit
He was supposed to be dead. He
had the pleasure of learning of his
death several times and nearly every
one he met asked him how it hap
pened that he was still on earth.
Il thought you We're killed in an
express robbery down in Kansas"
they all said 1T was in the papers
that you We're running as express
messenger on a railroad and that in
a hold-up you We're shot"
Then Charlie understood. One
Charles Toler, an express messen-

here who had not heard from him

Mr.. Toler is still very much alive
however, and his Norfolk friends

The national bureau of labor has
been investigating the stock argu-
ments of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
to the effect that while wages have
advanced ten to fifteen per cent, the
cost of living has increased fully
thirty per cent, and proposes to give
the public the figures soon so that it
will know something about the bust
ness when the argument is again pre-
sented. 1t is already given out that
the two have increased in equal pro.
portion, the increase being between
fifteen and seventeen per cent, This
does not take into consideration the
fact that whereas there were thou
sands of men idle under the Cleve
land administration, since the repub
licans took charge every man who
has desired employment and is com
petent has received it almost con
tinuously, so that there would really
be a large balance in favor of labor
The increase in wages must be
figured on the basis of those who
were employed during both eras.

TRADE EXPANSION.

NRlJfI ENI' ANolON.
1t has never been more pertinent
than now for Norfolk to consider mat
ters of trade eXteneion, and The News
is in it to do it's full share. Norfolk
is the business and geographical cen
ter of "A large territory that is in
creasihg in Importance each year,
and the business interests of Norfolk
should be in intimate touch with
that territory. The News would not
favor an attempt to compete with the
country merchants of surrounding
towns. They are entitled to live and
hold all the trade of which they are
capable, but there are thousands of
dollars that go through Norfolk every
week and find their way into the big
mail order houses of the east and the
large department stores. This drain
on the country should be stopped, not
only in the interests of the business
men but of the farmers and towns
people who are spending the money.
The Stanton Picket recently gave
short sermon, appealing to the peo-
people there to spend their money at
home or as near home as possible
that was the height of wisdom. 1t
advised its readers to trade at home,
but if they were compelled to buy
away from home to go to the nearest
possible trading point to spend their
money, and it is an appeal that should
be made in every town in this sec
ton of the state. They should buy
at home II the goods they wish are
obtainable there, II not they should
come to Norfolk. If Norfolk cannot
supply their demands, then to FIRE.
mont or Lincoln or Omaha. What is
desired is to have the money remain
in the state and be of benefit to all
the interests thereof. This can be
done in a large extent by the mer
chants themselves. Millions of dol
lars go out of the state every year
for goods that are handled in the
state, and this money should be kept
at home, to the advantage of every
business interest and property owner
Those who have been careful in theil
comparisons between purchases from
mail order houses and home mer
chants, find that there is no saving
to be made, and that the mail ordel
business is unsatisfactory, but the

One of the most popular young
men in Waterloo was married the
other day. If you don't believe he
was popular just look at what his
friends did to him, The bride and
groom were followed to the train,
where they were captured and bound
together with real handouts in such
fashion that no man except the pos
SCISSOR of the key could put them
asunder, Then a barrel of rice was
procured and bride and groom We're
properly stuffed with it. When the
train pulled in it was found to be
gayly decorated. The manacled pris-
oners We're led aboard, an orchestra
appeared, and the whole party start,
ed to share the wedding trip, or course
there were placards and all the con,
ventonal doings. 1t was not until
Oelwein was reached that the key
to the handouts was produced and
the popular young man and his beau
tirul young bride left in peace. Now
the question arises, if Waterloo
would do all that to one Of its most
popular young men what would II
do to an unpopular one in case he
should furnish similar occasion fol
