the wisdom that guide evolution.
ReincarnatiOn shows that genius is
the result. not of caprice on the part
Of the Deity. but definite effort by the
person himself. Shakespeare. Mozart,

earth they strOve for the high ideal,
for the great faculties. which later
they embodied.
"Reincarnation illuminates the
whole subject of the physical social,
Intellectual, and moral inequality in
the world. Why is it that some chill
dren are born blind and poor and
are born healthy and wealthy and
strong minded and good ? It is because
in previous lives on earth they have

For there is law of divine justice

IN A FIERCE CONFLICT.
Kickapoos and Navajos VIII Finally
Settle Differences Tonight.

This is the final great day of conflict
between the Kickapoos and the Nava-
Jos. These are not the fierce painted
warriors of early frontier days but two
clubs of Y NJ c. A. members who are
out making a fight to get new mem
bers and the contest closes this evening
at 1914.
The Kickapoos are now in the lead
by six members. but both sides are re-
serving their showing for the last min
ute this evening, when they expect to
spring some surprises and probably get
the scalp of the other fellow as the
result.
The Kickapoos have secured 1876
new members and their competitors
12s, the former turning in $3.50 and the
latter 1927 in membership fees.
A. H Cartel is the captain Of the
Kickapoo forces and D. n. Scobey of
the Navajos warriors. Thirty-on
braves are in each band and they were
mainly chosen for their ability to hus-
tie. The best scores made by the indf-
vidua1 members are Clyde McCarter Of
the KickaDoos. who secured IS new
members. and Q. Whitney of the Nava-
jos. who has brought In II.
With these new additions the mem
bership of the z. NJ. c. A. will run over
the 1000 mark.

HE EXPLAINS REMUNERATION.
Henry Hotchner, New York Theoso-
phist. says It Is Misunderstood.

Henry Hotchner Of New York city
delivered the second of a series of free
addresses on theosophy at Lincoln
Post hall Thursday evening The sub
ject of the last nights address was
"Reincarnation and the Law of JUS

"Reincarnation means that the soul
returns TO earth life again and again
in human bodies in order to unfold its
divine biiities-not that man can
return to the body of an animal,
which is an absurd mistake
The goal of humanity is perfection.
and each soul is eventually to become
perfect. Each life on earth is like a

CAN'T REACH IT TONIGHT.
The Paving Petitions Are Not Yet
Ready.

The city council will not be able to
act upon the Kansas avenue paving
petition and specifications this evening,
due to the inability of the city engi-
neer to complete checking the names
of the, property owners who have
signed the petitions.
The law requires that the city engi-
neer must carefully check the signers
to discover whether they actually own
the property for which they have
signed and also to discover whether
the requisite number of signatures are
attached The specifica tiOns are ready
and if the petition had been checked
up action could have been secured this
evening; as 1t is the council will have
to adjourn to meet Monday evening.
The petition was turned over to James
McCabe, city engineer, by Council
man Swendson. of the streets and
walks committee, and he in turn
turned it over to c. E. Jewell, of the
property owners paving committee,
who wished to secure the addition of
a few more names.
Mr.. Jewell believes that there is no
doubt but what majority of the
necessary signatures have been secured
but added the additional for good
measure.
A guarantee for ten years is what
Councilman f. E. Nipps thinks should
be demanded by the council from the
bidders on the Kansas avenue repay
ing. "Ten years is not too long a
time to demand as a guarantee" said
Mr.. Nipps. These property owners
say that they want a good pavement,
and you can't tell anything about a
pavement until it has been down ten
years. If it won't wear that long it
Is not much good as a pavement. I am
in favor of holding out for a ten
wear guarantee to accompany the
bids" The time of the guarantee al
ways figures extensively in the bids.

FEDERAL COURT.

Whether or not Norfolk is TO have
session of federal court regularly
once or twice a year, with jury trials
and people brought into the city by
means of the session, depends alto
gether upon the attorneys of Norfolk
and northern Nebraska, according to
n statement with which Federal Judge
Munger who was in the city yester.
day to hold the first real term of court
here, is quoted II should like tc
come up to Norfolk every once in a
WHILE" said Judge Munger, "and hold
sessions week at a time in the city
You people in Norfolk who want such
terms ought to persuade the attorneys
mp here to cite their cases for Nor
| folk"
With this condition Of affairs Nor
folk business men and attorneys ought
to bring all the influence possible to
bear upon other attorneys throughout
the state to induce them to cite their
cases for this city. And there is every
reason why attorneys living in the
northern part of the state should pre-.
fer to come to Norfolk, rather than
Omaha.
To begin with, Norfolk is closer
home and they could. If they live on
the west line, come into the city each
noon and go back home again each
night during the session of court.
Their clients could be closer home
and then, more than that, it would be
helping to build up another institution
in northern Nebraska, and whatever
builds up any individual part of north
ern Nebraska is good for the entire
section.
Norfolk will treat these attorneys
right when they get here, and there
is every reason why it is to the inter-
est of every one in the northern half
of the state to cite their cases here
for hearings. And if they will do
that the session held here yesterday
may be counted as merely the begin
ming of an important feature of this
sections future life.

pared for service every day? What
good reason is there for wasting the
four years or six another will need to
get "city broke" -- and then swap
again?
Speaking of horses, did you ever
buy a horse that looked big and sleek
and well formed, one that had every
indication of the right sort of a dis.
position, with an honest gait and with
every portion of its handsome self ap.
parently perfectly sound? If you have
dealt in horses, it is safe to say you
have picked that sort and bought the
animal. And then you have gone out
to hitch him up and the very first at.
tempt at harnessing, that horse reared
up and struck you with his hoofs. He
was strange and still looked all right,
and you have forgiven the accident
as one that might come from strange
environment, and you have driven
along the street, didn't get anywhere

now and then SHE'D at a paper along
the road, and came back into the sta

thing to distinguish himself one way
or another. And so you have sus-
pended judgment and decided to give
the animal another trial.
The next time you started to har-
ness your steed, he bit you viciously,
raved and reared in his stall and acted
ugly. He acted just as though, the
minute he were safely hitched, he
would light out and run away, perhaps
overturning the buggy that he drew
and spilling its occupants on the
ground, bruised, dragged about, and
sorely veXed. And that's what he did
Only he did it in even more wicked
manner than you had presumed The
buggy was mashed and the horse
well, he just ran wild and didn't do
anything of any consequence until he
was lassoed While you were paying
doctor bills and getting your wounds
healed, though they healed slowly, the
horse that had dumped you, from its
far away position, gave a backward
glance after the fashion of the mule
"Maude," laughed at your misfortune
and ambled on.
And after you paid those doctor bills,
you decided that you would make a
change. You made up your mind that
you would get rid of that beast, even
if you had to walk for all time to come.
1t is a rafting good plan, when you
get hold of the right horse, to get the
animal "city broke" and hang on to
him until he is ready for a pension,
but there are times when you get
fooled on the horse in the first place,
and have to trade horses" until you
get one that will do the business.

with other friends about the city, but
never had time for one moments call
upon that friend who had been sued
in the courts for $4,000 all for doing
what Mr.. McCarthy's chairman insist
ed upon in defense OF the hero con.
gressman?
And, forgetting for the moment just
what sort of "man among men" the
honorable Mccarthy is, let us recall
how the congressman behaved when
the matter of his standing behind The
News was mentioned to him by Mr..
Robertson. It was on the train be-
tween Madison and Norfolk, and when
the question was brought up, what did
this "man among men" do? Did he
brace up like a man and ask Mr. Rob-
ertson to assure Mr.. Huse that "he
need not worry?" or did he, as Mr..
Robertson says, get angry and reply
that he wouldn't be held responsible
for the mistakes of damn fool news
paper men?"
We don't believe that even the Fre-
mont Tribune away down in its heart,
has any doubt about this bit of abuse
which was heaped upon those who had
suffered in Mr.. McCarthy's cause.
No, we admit we fail to see the
point in calling Mr.. Mccarthy man
among men," He has, it is true, twice
fooled the people of the Third district
of Nebraska into thinking he was that
sort of a creature, and it may be that
the Tribune, not having supported Mr..
Mccarthy during his first campaign to
the same extent as some half dozen
others, and therefore not having had
to pay a good stiff sum for that luxury,
has not yet come to on the Mccarthy
type of being.
But it will be hard matter for Mr..
Mccarthy and his cohorts, all put to-
gether, to elevate this hero to the po-
sition of man among men" in the
Third district-and especially among
the profession that suffered from him
once and who have been affectionately
termed, "the damn fool newspaper
men,"

This is the week which was chosen
by the late J. Sterling Morton for
planting trees in Nebraska, and 1t is
n week which we should all remember
not only with our minds but also with
our hands. Trees have been and are
one of the greatest blessings that man
has been able to implant in the west.
Tree planting is an investment which
grows more valuable every year, and
which increases constantly the value
of the property of the west. Every
new tree set out in this state is worth
a certain number of dollars, if it were
to be computed in dollars and cents,
and 1t has worth in adding beauty
and comfort to the region which can
not be computed in coppers. If you
haven't planted Il tree, do it now. Let
no Arbor day or week go by without
planting at least one well selected
tree in well selected spot.
