of his parents. Judge and Mrs. ]. B.
Barnes. Mr.. Barnes Is practicing law
at Casper and has now attained the
title Of Judge" among the people on
that frontier He has recently re-
turned from stage trip over the
plains and mountains, into Lander.
He visited Shoshoni which Is largely
n city of tents just at present. Mr..
Barnes had number of interesting
experiences on this stage trip. jolting
along over the mountain roads at
break-ncck speed, spending a couple
of days in II fierce blizzard, going
without sleep for many hours at a
time and eating anything and sleeping
| anywhere that offered.
At Muskrat there was just trading
| station, with cracks an inch wide be-
tween the boards of the building of
the town, and he tried to get some
| thing to eat At first he was told that
there wasn't even a cracker to be
had. Finally, however, the bartender
| admitted that he had few" crack
ors in the building and that he might
| give the stranger a handful" He
dished out a cartoon half filled with
crackers, and the Judge" tucked the
box under his arm, said Much
obliged" and disappeared into the
stage just as it was moving away.
At one trading point the stage, with
out single passenger excepting Judge
Barnes, reached the town in the mid
die of the night. The stage driver
didn't know where he and the Judge
could sleep, but the driver, lame fell
low called Shorty" started out on q
still hunt with his passenger comrade,
to find bed. The driver stuck his
head into an adobe hut. In the two
| rooms were two beds, but they were
occupied, all the sleepers being men.
AT the next hut there were two beds.
In one OF these slept two men. In
another slept a woman. In the next
hut there was bed without anybody
in 1t.
"We'll just turn in here" said Stage
Driver Shorty, and so they did get into
the strange bed. That was 3 o'clock
in the morning and they slumbered
like logs until a. m, when they
started out on their overland drive
again.

U. s. COMMERCE COMMISSION.
Safety inspectors, Representing Com.
mission, Were Here Today.

President Roosevelt has rendered
the position as head of the United
States Commerce commission In case
the rate bill In congress passes. to n
man who will stand eminently for n
square deal. according to G. H. Merrill,
inspector of safety appliances for the
United States Commerce commission
who, together with other sub-ofllcers
of the commission, was In Norfolk at
noon today The party arrived in their
private car over the Northwestern
from Chicago and left over the NJ. 4
O. for Sioux City. The purpose of
their trip, they said, was merely to
inspect the safety appliances OF the
railroads of the country.
Among the party were Mr.. Merrill,
]. II. Strickland, United States in
spector for the commerce commission; /;
Y. E. Meade, general car inspector for
the Northwestern railroad, and David
Wink, car inspector.
The party came to this point because
1t was the gateway to the Black Hills
and Bonesteel lines, and did not 20
further into those directions because
they had covered the car lines for
those territories by coming to Norfolk.
The duties OF these officials Is to
inspect the safety appliances used on
all of the railroads of the United
States and to make their reports to
headquarters in Washington. While
they live in Washington, their homes
are where their hats happen to fall off
eve have found the Northwestern
safety appliances in good shape" they
said. IF all of the roads in the coun-
Northwestern, there would be less loss
of life and less accidents"

ICE PRICES ARE REDUCED
FIVE CENTS is CHOPPED OFF THE
SCHEDULE TO-DAY.
MARCH HAS FILLED ICE HOUSES
A General Cut of a Nickel Was Made
This Morning by Ice Men Of Nor
folk, Setting the Rates Back to Their
Last Summers Standard.

Ice prices have dropped again in
Norfolk, and the people of this city will
same old prices. The rates were reduced
have frozen water next summer at the
this morning by all ice men of the city,
who had formerly increased them s
cents per 100 pounds on all classes of
ice.
The reason for reducing the rates
on ice is the fact that March has de-
veloped good sized bunch of cold
weather and that, as a result of the
freezing, Norfolk ice houses have been
filed to the rafters, until there is a
supply on hand which will overcome
all fears of famine in this commod-
ity.
In fact, there are more ice houses
doing business this year than ever be-
fore in Norfolk's history, and they are
all well filed. When the warm wealth
er of the winter frightened people into
thinking that there would be a short
age before the month of July had gone
by, several parties who had never put
up ice before, got busy with hammer
and saw, built ice houses and then
went to work with their ice plows and
dug out good sized chunks of the froZ-
en- rivers stock in trade.
Irwin & Melcher and f. B. Kauff-
mann took time by the forelock in this
regard and built an ice house in a re-
markably short time, filling it within
two days. Waldo & Dilenbeck strung
electric wires into their pond and
their ice house and with thirty men,
worked day and night, with brilliant
arc lamps to shed a white light over
the field. George Stalcop resumed op-
erations after having once shut down,
and put up lot more ice than he had
thought he would. Fred Schelly has
ice to burn and Mr. Oertwig, who has
built new house this season, has it
well filled with sawdust-packed cold
ness.
And so there will be chance in
Norfolk next summer, despite gloomy
forebodings, to eat ice cream and drink
ice water and sip cooling sherbet.
There will be Clipped ice and shaved
ice and ice that isn't shaved. There
will be trapped ice and iced tea, and
refrigerators will, after all, earn their
salaries. For on all classes of this
product a nickel has been chopped off,
per hundred weight, today.

DEPOT MAYBE NOT IN STREET.
General Superintendent c. C. Hughes
Says He is Not Sure.

Il can not say whether or not the
proposed new station would be built
in the street or not, If the city passed
the ordinance to close Philip avenue.
| do not know where the depot would
be located, exactly. 1t might touch
the street and it might not touch the
street"
This was the reply of General Super
intendant G.. C. Hughes of the North
western railroad today when asked def
initely as to whether it was true that
there was a possibility of the depot
being built away from the street, even
if the street were closed by the city.
There had been a general under
standing among the business men of
Norfolk that the depot, if the street
We're closed, would be built in the
street and that the reason why the
closing of the street was asked was
for lack of room without using the
street.
"Unless the street is closed" said
Mr.. Hughes, I'VE will go ahead and
build a depot. We can't wait for the
courts to decide upon the injunction.
We will not build the depot planned,
unless the city closes Philip avenue" "

ments as these. A city of Norfolk s
size ought to have had sewerage a
long time ago, and sincerely hope the
bonds will carry. I understand that
this Is the only city of It's size, or any
where near it's size in the state that
does not have sewerage system, and
also that Norfolk's bonded indebted
ness Is less than that of any other city
in the state"
This Is the way A. G. Taylor of Ce-
dar Rapids, Iowa, owner of the store
building on Norfolk avenue occupied
by Beeler Bros, and also of other Nor
folk property, sizes up the sewerage
situation here. Mr.. Taylor is visiting
with his nephew, c. S. Hayes.
Mr.. Taylor is one of the men who
has built up Cedar Rapids from a
country town into a thriving little city.
Cedar Rapids is a good deal situated
as is Norfolk, and has, in the past,
met pretty much the same problems
which now confront Norfolk. His ex-
tensive property interests in Norfolk
give considerable weight to his opin-
ions.

either at the opening of new era or
that it will go backward. To remain
stationary is retrOgression, and to vote
down the sewer bonds would certainly
be voting to go backward as a city.

tax on sewer bonds, but Norfolk can
not afford to vote them down.

to this city to look after my property,
