PREPARE 70 WHOLESALE
MORE FACILITIES NEEDED TO
HANDLE THE BUSINESS.
ONE WHOLESALE HOUSE STARTED
n. r. Ward Announces That He viii
be Ready to Supply Dealers Tuesday
Morning - Brakeman g. Coleman
Start a Jobbing and Transfer.
From rridov'e Dailvl

One of the very first things that the
new freight rate means for Norfolk Is
new depot and freight handling facil
tiles at the city station of the North
western. The facilities at this sta
tion right now are badly cramped, and
the additional tonnage that may be
expected on account of the town be
coming wholesale center will neces
state more room. And this will be
but the beginning of the betterments
that will accrue to Norfolk because
of the new condition of affairs.
It has long been believed that the
railroads entering Norfolk intend
some day to erect a union passenger
station. The various lines enter the
city in such a manner that station
built somewhere south of Main street
could be reached by all, and now that
Norfolk is to become a more import.
ant point in railroad figuring, it Is not
improbable that a union station will
be among the improvements of the
near future. No material improve.
ments have been made on either of
the three railroad stations in Norfolk
for years, and If union station were
not under contemplation these sta.
tions would certainly have been
brought nearer up to date long ago.
The very first to take advantage of
the new rate and establish a whole
sale house here is H. r. Ward, of the
Norfolk Smoke House, who says that
on next Wednesday he will be ready
to fill orders from dealers for cigars,
tobacco and smokers articles.
Among those to see benefit in the
new conditions are Brakeman & Cole.
man, who announce the establishment
of the Norfolk Jobbing and Transfer
company, which will handle agricul-
tural implements, wagons, stoves, and
other similar articles through their
hardware here. In contemplation of
the coming rates they have been pre-
pairing for business some time and
are among the first to get in the field.
Mr.. Brakeman goes to Omaha within
a day or two to close up contracts
with implement houses which have
been pending the settlement of the
rate question. Mr.. Brakeman has con.
tended for a long time, and he is as
well posted on the rate question as
anyone in town, that the distributing
rate is what Norfolk has wanted.
The new conditions open up a field
for jobbers of groceries, hardware,
drugs, harness, wagons, buggies, agri-
cultural implements, machinery, fruit,
cigars, paper and other commodities

RAN AWAY FROM MOTHER

John Diekemper, a 16-year-old boy
from Omaha who came to Norfolk
with his mother, Mrs. Mary Diekemper
at noon and who was to have gone on
with her to Fairfax, S. D., gave his
mother the slip" when the train
reached Norfolk and it was not until
an hours seaching on the part OF
Constable Hamilton had ended that
the lad was found and restored to his
parent. He was brought back to he1
just in time to catch the train and
proceed on the trip to Fairfax, where
they went to visit her bother, John A.
Holbert, a farmer.
The lad had not lived with his
mother during his early childhood
having been boarded out" At length
when the mother wanted her boy, the
guardian who had always taken care
of him, kept him. 1t was necessary to
go to law to decide the case and the
boy was given to his mother. Even
then she had hard time to keep him,
as was hown by the experience here
at noon.

ed. 1t is more than we had any right
to expect" said w. II. Brakeman. who
Is perhaps more familiar fifth freight
rates and their actual working than
any other man in Norfolk today. "To
secure the rate in so short n time is,
1t seems to me, remarkable"
And that is the sentiment every
where. Men who have said little about
the rate proposition heretofore today
openly expressed their satisfaction at
the new rate and their appreciation of
the efforts of the Commercial club.
A great many business men express
their great satisfaction at the start for
Norfolk. The sentiment which would
belittle the achievements of the Com
mercial club is finding cool recep-
tion on every hand.
"For a Norfolk man who has made
no success of his own business and
who can point to not penny's worth
of wholesaling now done here, to be-
little the value of rate which will
allow us to do business on the same
scale as that enjoyed by Hastings,
where 100000 of wholesale business
is now done annually, seems to me to
be most contemplate" said one bust
ness man. For one to assume that
unless we can become a Chicago in

BLIND Il YEARS, NOW SEES
GoTLIEB BRAASCH, AGED EIGHTY
ONE, HAS EYESIGHT AGAIN.
Because the Old Man Had Been Re-
stored to the Use of His Eyes, the
Party at obed Raasch's Home Was
an Especially Joyful Affair.
GFrom Mondays Dailyl

From Mondays DailYl
Gotlieb Braasch of Cherokee, Ia,
who last week ended a visit with Nor
folk relatives among Braasch's,
Raasch's and Haase's, had just en-
joyed transformation which is
known to but few people in the world.
Totally blind for eleven long years,
he has but recently had his sight re-
stored and now he can see.
1t was for this reason that the
farewell party given Friday night at
the home of Obed Raasch was an
especially joyful affair. At least thirty
families attended and the fact that
the old man-now Sis now
able to recognize his friends and re-
latives, was occasion for an extra
ordinary evening.
The aged man accompanied Mr.. and
Mrs. Herman Braasch to Norfolk for
their visit and then accompanied them
home again.
He is not yet able to read but he
can discern faces before him. 1t was
like looking out upon a strange world
when his sight was suddenly restored
one morning, for eleven years had
wrought wondrous changes. Children
had grown up, young ladies whom he
remembered formerly as swinging
school books at their sides, were
carrying bouncing babies in their
arms when his eyesight came back,
and so 1t was a day of wonderment as
well as of joy when he began to see
again.
A pair of spectacles has been placed
upon the old man by which it is be-
lleved his eyes will grow constantly
stronger. One pair of lenses made it
possible for him to see as well as any
one, but the lense was so strong that
1t would have burned his eyes out in
few days. When these glasses were
put on him, he was simply delighted.
