The Union Pacific people have
bought the Illinois Central and 1t may
be expected that the Union Pacific.
Northwestern alliance at Omaha, in
connecting the east and the west, may
soon be broken. That tends to explain
the movement of the Northwestern

to increase the Importance of Norfolk.

II was reported in yesterdays tel.
egraphc news from Sioux City that
there Is Il movement on foot among a
syndicate of 100 Iowa and Nebraska
men to start big packing plant in
Norfolk for the purpose of catching
much of the stock now being shipped
through to Sioux City and South
Omaha. Although 1t is impossible
here to trace any foundation to the
story, yet 1t is sincerely hoped by the
business men of Norfolk that the pro.
ject may come through. The yarn
sounded well enough and 1t is evi-
dent, If nothing else, that Norfolk is
on the map and that over around Sioux
City the packers and stock men have
been thinking something about the
gateway to the new northwest. Nor
folk is getting into bigger sphere
every day of her life, and something
is going to develop, in time, from the
location of this city.

ALL RECORDS ECL|PSED
JANUARY WAS BIGGEST MONTH
PosToFFIcE EVER HAD.
s2,7Oo TO CATALOGUE HOUSES
A Careful investigation by The News
Shows That $1,000 Was Sent Out OF
Norfolk in January to Buy Mail Or
der Merchandise.

The January report of Postmaster
Hays shows most prosperous condi-
ton in Norfolk on the whole. The
postal receipts for the month not only
exceed those of any previous January
but exceed the receipts of any pre-.
vious month in the history of the To-
cal postoflice. The postal receipts of
"A city are considered a business ba.
rometer which records faithfully the
growth or decline of n city and its
business activity. Generally there Is
an abnormal increase in the holiday
season over any other period owing to
the large amount of postage paid out
on letters, packages and other evil
dences of the holiday giving. Even
this was overcome in January by the
receipts. The amount Of box rent has
decreased more than $3.50 since the
institution of rural delivery but this
loss also has been overcome in local
receipts from stamps, postal cards and
so forth.
In money orders the business
showed a substantial increase in or
ders issued although the amount paid
was practically the same as that of the
previous January. In January, 1905,
the orders issued amounted to $2,5917S
as compared with $3,4S6.25 for this
year. The orders paid in 1905 were
$2,743.43 against $2,7G3.00 this year

$1,000 to Catalogue Houses.

A surprising amount of money was
sent to the mail order houses by Nor
folk citizens and farmers during Jan
uary according to careful record
made of money orders, express orders
and bank drafts. 1t represented
enough money to keep another store
in business in Norfolk. The total for
January is approximately $1,000. OF
this $3.50 went as postoffice money or
ders, $3.50 as express orders. and the
remainder as bank drafts. Practically
everything that was bought with this
money could have been bought of Nor
folk merchants at a probable saving
of money or at no more cost to the pur-
chaser under any circumstances.
In speaking of the matter this morn
ing one Norfolk dry goods merchant
said, 81 can take catalogue Of any
Of these houses and put down my
prices alongside theirs on any page
that has my line of goods and will
undersel them on four-fifths of the
articles. On the remainder | will

certain kind for less money than my
prices are. But if you will figure out
the cost of the freight, draft and other
things in connection with this pur-
chase my price will be no higher than
that of the mail order house. 1t will
probably be lower"
Merchants Are Amazed.

ness from month to month. To think
that the mail order business would
keep another store going in Norfolk is
surprise to me- | knew it was big
but never had an idea before that it
was so large 1t certainly Is up to us to

TWO MEN COMMIT SUICIDE
With Hands C|asped Jump In Front
Of Train.
ONE WAS 80, OTHER 40 YEARS OLD
BODIES BADLY MANGLED WHEN
PULLED FROM WHEELS BY
TRAIN CREW..

SPARTA, Wis, Aug. 22.-Wha
railroad men say was a double sui.
eide resulted in the death under the
wheels of a Milwaukee road train OF
two unknown men near here early
yesterday.
One man Of 35 or 40 years and an.
other of 20 years were put off a Mil.
waukee train at Raymore, eight miles
east of here. They were on an east.
bound passenger train and said they
were from Minneapolis When they
were put off the train they said they
would return to Minneapolis, but wher
the next westbound train passed they
persisted under the wheels.
According to statements of rail.
road men both deliberately threw
themselves under the engine. Wher
the remains were taken from be-
meath the cars the bodies were found
with the hands of the two men still
clasped together.
