Size Of Distilleries,

Next, in Importance to the question
Of removing the tax, and the amount of
denaturizing material, comes that of
the size Of the distilleries, which will
be permitted to manufacture denatur-
lied alcohol. By an inspection Of the
report of the commissioner Of internal
revenue, it will be seen that over five
hundred distilleries, with capacity Of
from five to sixty bushels Of grain per
day each, are being operated in the
United States; and while it would prob
ably not be necessary to permit the
manufacture Of denaturized alcohol in
distilleries Of as small capacity as five
bushels of grain per day, it would GER
tainly be wise for congress to look into
the matter very carefully and permit
the manufacture in distilleries of as
small capacity as would conform to a
reasonable expense of supervising the
business. The authorization Of these
small distilleries would be an effective
means of preventing the manufacture
of denaturized alcohol from falling into
the hands of the big distilleries, and the
forming Of combinations to regulate the
! price.

COUNTY SUPPLIES.

The Newman Grove Reporter Is ag-
itated because the commissioners of
Madison county have not advertised
for bids on printing supplies to be
used in the county during the coming
year. The Reporter cannot really
mean that it is in favor of such pro-
cedure. Past experience has demon
strated that letting the contract for
this class of supplies to the lowest bid
der has never been successful Con-
tracts awarded in this manner mean
that every letter head, every blank,
every envelope and every scrap of
printing of any kind or character will
come from outside of Madison county,
furnished by one of the combine hous-
es of the cities, and that Madison
county printing offices will not do one
penny's worth. Printing and sup
plies" as ordinarily called for in coun-
~ bids, mean letter heads, envelopes,
blanks, records and ledgers used in
the county offices, pens, inks, pencils
rubber bands, and in fact everything

officials. When these contracts have
been let to the lowest bidder in past,
the county has invariably received the
very poorest grade of stock that it was
possible TO furnish and come within
the reading of the contract. Only re,

TO COMPOUND MEDICINES
THE HARPER MEDICINE COMPANY
A NEW INSTITUTION.
HEADQUARTERS IN NORFOLK

Travelling Men Have Been Employed
to Represent Norfolk's New Firm
Will Make and Sell Medcines-Suc-
cess is Assured.
Norfolk has another constructive in
stiution which promises to do its
share toward advertising the city as
a manufacturing and wholesaling
point. 1t is the Harper Medicine com
pany, which has been incorporated un-
der the laws of hte state of Nebraska,
with headquarters in Norfolk. and
whose mission in the commercial
world will be to compound and sell
medicines.
officers of the organization are Aug
ust IL. Kiesau, Herman Kiesau and j.
earle Harper. The name given to the
company is that of Mr.. Harper, a
young man who has recently come to
Norfolk and who formerly lived at
Painview.
One fact more strongly than anoth-
er points to the success of the new in
stitution. That is the fact that Mr.
Harper a few years ago won first prize
at tn Nebraska druggists association
for the best written paper-and his
subject dealt with the virtues of sci
entific advertising.
The company has already employed
a number of travelling statesmen for
the purpose of representing it through
out the state and other states, and it
is believed by those who know these
men behind the prescription case, that
the new institution will grow from the
start. The capital stock is $4,000, all
paid in.

AS another one of these annual
mile posts by which the world marks
the passing of time is reached, we
pause for a moment in the rush TO keep
mp with present strenuous conditions
to consider whether it has been well
or i'll with us during the year just clos.
ing.
Norfolk has no great reason to cont
plain of the treatment it has received
at the hands of 1908. Many places
larger as well as smaller have Jared
worse, and on the whole Norfolk has
much to credit to the accomplish
ments of the year. 1t has brought
many betterments in the material con.
dition of affairs. During the year the
Norfolk hospital for the insane has
been completed and occupied, and an
and this is now building. number
of new business buildings have been
erected, scores of new residences now
adorn lots that were vacant year
ago, and miles upon miles of new per-
manent sidewalks and crossings have
been put in. The building improve.
ments this year have paraken of the
spirit of the times and are better and
more permanent than heretofore.
Probably the greatest accomplish
ment during the year for the future
benefit of the city was the securing
of freight rates which makes Norfolk
wholesale point. The Commercial
club, which is and has been one of
the strongest factors in the progress
of the citys growth, secured this rate
after the most trying discouragements
at home and abroad that ever beset a
similar organization, but when the fu-
ture history of the city is written the
year 1905 will be credited with having
surmounted all obstacles and placed
Norfolk among the jobbing centers of
the state Two wholesale houses were
Immediately attracted to the city by
the new rates, which allow Norfolk
to lay goods down in any of the towns
in its territory at as low rates as any
competing point, and they are both
doing well.
! It is confidently expected that the
coming year holds more in store for
Norfolk than has been accomplished
IN tNe past year. The favorable
freight rate will certainly attract 9th
az wholesalers to the city and before

The News does not hesitate to speak
of this matter freely, because it is not
interested personally in any way. Dur
ing the past year it has not furnished
a dollars worth of this class of sup
plies, and it has no reason to think it
will the coming year. But it does feel
proud of the county commissioners for
deciding not to advertise and to con.

complaint when a county fails to ad
vertise for bids, but this is the first
time we ever ran across a local man
who had a complaint to make because
matters were not so adjusted that the
foreign fellow could take all the work
nut of the county.
And it costs the people no more un,

it would the other way, while the coun
ty has first class goods to work with
