Queer Theory Of the Universe.

The natives of Australia have a
queer Theory Of the universe. The
sky is said to be inhabited by three
PERSONS gigantic man with an
immense foot shaped like that OF an
emu, a woman and child who new
er develops beyond childhood. The
man is called Ulthaana, meaning
spirit" When a native dies his
spirit is saiJ to ascend to the home
Of the great Ulthaana, where it re-
mains for short time. The Ul-
thaana then throws it into the salt
water, from which it is rescued by
two benevolent but lesser Ulthaana,
who perpetually reside on the sea-
shore, apparently merely for the
purpose Of rescuing spirits who have
been subject to the inhospitable
treatment of the great Ulthaana OF
the heavens (Alkirra). Henceforth
the rescued spirit of the dead man
lives with the lesser Ulthaana.

WILL BUILD NEN BRIDGE
THE NORTHFoRk RIVER WILL BE
SPAWNED IN A NEW PLACE.
MAKES NEW ROAD TO NORFOLK
The County Commissioners, Hearing a
Rumor That They Would Not Appro-
pirate $500 For Crawling First
Street. Make Haste to Deny Report.
IFrom TUESDAYS Dailv.1


Commissioners Taft and Malone
reached the city last night from New
man Grove, where they had been in
specting a new county bridge. They
are here for the purpose of starting a
bridge over the Northfork on the coun-
ty line between Madison and Pierce
counties at a point about four miles
from Norfolk This is a new bridge
entirely, there never having been one
at that place. 1t will be of wood and
will be put up by the Towle company.
All the preliminaries will be finished
today and work will be started at
once. This bridge will be a great
convenience for large settlement of
farmers living north of Norfolk, who
have heretofore been unable to reach
town except by driving a great dis
lance around
When they reached town, the COM
missioners were met by the report
that it has been rumored that the
county would not contribute $500 to-
ward the graveling of First street, in
conjunction with the city council and
citizens. Mr.. Malone said this was
all news to him. He said no such
thought has entered his mind and he
does not believe the other commissions
ers are children, in that they would
make an agreement and then back out
of it, The commissioners said they
would contribute $500 toward the fix
ing of the street, which is also a couh-
ty road, and all there is to be done is
for the city to go ahead and let the
contract for the work, finish it and
present a bill for $500 to the county,
when it will be paid. Mr.. Malone ar
CUES that the county is making a good
trade in this transaction as well as
the city, because the street is one that
has to be kept up by the county, and
to get permanent road for $500 is a
bargain for the county, as 1t is also for
the city. 1t would look as though the
matter is up to the city to get busy.

A WOMAN'S WILL.
Left Money to Friends and Cut Off
Adopted Daughter.

McCool Junction, Neb., Sept. "a
Several residents of McCool are con-
graduating themselves for being kind
and attentive to Sarah Smith, an &C.
centric widow, wife of the late John
Smith, pioneer settlers of south York
county, and many other residents re-
greet that they had not been more kind
and attentive to aunt Sally as she
was Familiarity known to all south York
county. When the will of Sarah Smith
was read Saturday and filed for pro-
bate, it caused a great commotion,
and every resident has taken sides
and prospects seem good for a long
and bitter contest in the courts, and
it is all over this will, in which Sarah
Smith left property to the amount of
$4,000 to residents of McCool Junction
who were not related to her, and cut
off her adopted daughter, Florence
Wright, a resident of McCool, with
only $40.
John Smith and wife were of the
first settlers in York county, and for
several years maintained a stage sta
ton. The first white man shot and
killed in York county was killed by
John Smith, who acted in self-defense
killing a drunken stage driver who
threatened his life. From the farm
they moved to McCool Junction. About
ten years ago they adopted little girl
from the Home of the Friendless al
Council Gluffs, la. This girl helped
in the house work and nursed during
sickness both Mr.. and Mrs Smith, and
owing to this there is considerable in
dignation because she was cut off with
only $40. The following residents OF
McCOol Junction received property in
McCool Junction: c. E. Hart, worth
$l,fO0; John Nahrgang, worth 5000
little Ethel Ashmore, worth $1,000, ant
to Arthur More, cashier of the Blue
River bank at McCool Junction, son
in-law of G. w. Post, of New York, the
balance of the estate-notes and mort
cages and cash amountin gto about
$4,000.
