Hon w. NJ. Robertson, president of
the club, began the speaking of the
evening and held his listeners in in
tense eagerness throughout His
speech was filled with straight-from-
the-shoulder words, bereft of meaning
less congratulations, and telling to
strong degree. He spoke on the aC-
cOmpishments of the club during its
first year of existence and as he un-
folded, one after another, the results
of the tireless energy of the cluO di-
rectOrs and the secretary, the business
men present found themselves actual
ly amazed that so much had been
done. While it was generally known
beforehand that many things had been
accomplished by the efforts of the
club, yet none dreamed of all that has
been done and Mr.. Robertson's cata-
logue of the various features of the
year was splendidly received.
He told Norfolk for the first time
that new depot is to be built by the
Northwestern, replacing the Creighton
station, which will be modern and com
modious and which will eventually be-
come a union depot; he told of the
plans now to rehablitate the old sugar
factory with a new sugar factory; he
recalled the freight rate secured by
the club, which has already brought
wholesale houses and will bring more;
he told of the term of federal court
that has been secured for Norfolk and
of efforts now to secure two terms in
Senator Burkett's bill Omaha and Nor
folk being the only cities to be thus
favored; he spoke of re-establishinG
of the Nebraska state hospital for the
insane here, with an appropriation for
100000, another appropriation of
$500 to rebuild the west wing, an
other appropriation of $92 900 to pay
expenses for two years and another
appropriation of $4,000 to pay officers
salaries. And with these magnificent
accomplishments MIR. Robertson de

Thursday. Being a larger city and
port of much commerce, the

millions of money and over 100

loss of life.

The Storm.

Wide spread disaster and many
deaths are reported in the wake of
the tropical storm of last week that
started near Central America. Ii
missed the lower peninsula of Flor
ida, but struck Pensacola Wednes-
day with great violence, damaging
every house in the city more or
less, but doing greatest damage in
the harbor and at the government
post. Large ships of 5000 tons
burden, were by the winds and
waves deposited high in the streets
of the city, riding on top of, or
crushing through houses enroute.
The loss of life, about rs, is small
compared with the wreckage that
is every where evident.
The Pensacola people are asking
no help. They are earring for
those needing it and clearing away
the debris and rebuilding. The
Pensacola loss is about FIVE mil
lions.

bic worse hurt than Pensacola,

An Outing.


Miss Sara f. Sweat and the
editor of THE CHAMPION ac-
companied the Governor and party
to TT, Myers last week, and took
in as much of the excursion to the
Everglades as seemed best. That
is they listened to the Governor S
speech were guests at the banquet
given the Governor at the Bradford
and watched the rest of excursion
lists take their departure on Tues
day morning.
AS they were the only ladies in
the party it seemed best to post
pone their visit to Lake Okechobee
until some future time. A very
cordial invitation by w, Ross
Wallace and Editor Gray of the
American Eagle, Of Estero, that
the two ladies spend the two days
at Estero was accepted and a
pleasant ride of sixteen miles in a
comfortable surrey behind a
matched span of blacks, trans
ported us to Estero before noon of
Tuesday. Here we met a most
cordial welcome from the most re-
narkable people in Florida, who
are here building up a little
paradise on earth. 1t is quite a
surprise to a traveller who has
never heard of the Koreshan
colony in Lee county to drive
sixteen miles without passing an
inhabited house to be landed
among a settlement of $50 people
with picturesque and even elegant
surroundings. All sorts of
machinery in successful operation,
including the finest newspaper and
printing outfit in Florida, from
which emenates weekly as large
an output of printed matter as is
sent out by any publishing house
in the state. A fine saw mill
furnishes lumber for their own
buildings and also some for the
trade. The grounds are laid out
with the best landscape garden
effects, the location being on the
banks of Estero river A con-
crete works in operation will
eventually furnish building
material, but at present the build
ings are frame, and more or less
frontier as to outward appearance.
Interiorly they are handsomely
furnished. The Art building is
rich in oil paintings the work of
Doctor Teed's son Arthur, who

art. A Kronich & Bach piano,
occupies a prominent place, and

Cuba is now under American
management, or in other words in
tervention has taken place. Sec.
Taft has assumed control over the
Island and has landed marines to
protect and uphold the American
sovereignty. Both the revolution
lists and the Palma government
were opposed to intervention, but
neither party was able to control
the people and so with the best
grace they can muster they yield
to the inevitable. There is at least
one class of citizens in Cuba that
most heartily welcomed interven-
ton and that is the Americans who
are in Cuba in business. They
were nightly frightened while
fighting was going on and they
can be depended upon to welcome
the new government gladly and if
