Remember Paul Morton.

When the m%ollycoddles go into con-
niptions of praise of Roosevelt for
prosecuting the railroads the average
citizen should not forget that when
Judson Harmon submitted sufficient
evidence to convict and recommended
the prosecution of Paul Morton and his
railroads for giving rebates, Mr.. Roose-
Welt disapproved and Mr.. Harmon and
the other attorneys who with him had
worked up the case, rs self respecting
men had retired from the case.-Tar-

GFrom Mondays Daily,

GFrom Mondays Daily.1
A second ice house fire Sunday even
ing in the big Satterlee ice house east
of the city resulted in little or no dam
age.
1t was the opportune discovery Of
the fire by John Duncan that prevent
ed serious loss as the ice houses lie
outside of the city fire district.
Beyond scorching a strip of the
wall the burning straw resulted in no
damage. The incipient blaze had been
extinguished when the hook and lad
der company arrived from the city.
Insurance was carried on the build
ing.
During the summer the big double
ice houses of Waldo & Dillenbeck To-
Gated near the Satterlee ice house
burned to the ground, inflicting Sc
rious loss on the proprietors.

Change in Train Service.

Deadwood, S. D., Sept. 2S.-That
within the next sixty days the North
western will put on its through ser
vice between Deadwood and Chicago
via Pierre is the general understand
ing in local railroad circles. On Oc-
tober 10, the big steel bridge over the
Missouri river at Fort Pierre will be
officially opened for passenger traffic
and after that period it will be pos
sible to establish whatever service the
officials deemed best. For some weeks
the Northwestern has been busy on a
magnificent equipment in its carshops.
This is intended for use on the new
Deadwood- Chicago train which will be
known as the Black Hills Limited and
will take the place of the present pas
senger train from Chicago via Omaha
that train continuing on west at Chad
ron and a local train from Chadron to
the Black Hills, carrying passengers
from that point of Nebraska. The new
train via Pierre will shorten the time
to Chicago by several hours, and will
also carry the mail to and from that
point to the hills.

TANGLE OVER DRAYING
Prominent Norfolk Business Men in
LEGAL Controversy.

How many state laws and city ordi-
nances does every lawabiding citizen
in Norfolk fracture in a day?
Norfolk had a little spasm of law
enforcement.
Two prominent Norfolk business
men invoked the majesty of police
court law against each other during
the week. w. A. Emery, proprietor
of the Norfolk Lumber company, and
w. H. Brakeman, proprietor of the
Norfolk Storage G. Transfer company,
have been in court for draying with
out a city license.
Can a Norfolk citizen dray his own
goods without a city permit? Sure,
but he mustn't haul other folks mer-
chandise even though it is sent in a
carload lot in care of himself. That's
what w. A. Emery did and that's what
he was fined 50 for in police court at
the instance of w. H. Brakeman.
Now W. H. Brakeman is more for
tunate than Emery in that he has a
city dray license but he didn't have it
before July 16. SO Brakeman in turn
faced a charge of draying without a
license, the charge being preferred by
Emery who grieved to think of Blake
man having existed without a dray
license prior to July 16.
1t was said that Brakeman has only
been doing a general transfer business
since he took out his license. Anyway
he went into police court, pleaded gull
ty and paid that 50 fine. But Emery
hasn't paid his fine. Instead he has
given notice of an appeal and filed a
500 bond to carry the case to the dis
trict court.
That's how it is that the names OF
two of Norfolk's business men appear
in police court record in the midst OF
miscellaneous array of other sinners

Purse OF Twenty-Five Thousand Offered

Purse Of Twenty-Five Thousand Offered
for Fight at Reno.
Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. PA purse
OF 5000 has just been offered Joe
Cans and Battling Nelson to battle for
in a finish fight at Reno, New, on
Thanksgiving day afternoon for the
lightweight championship of the
world. Jim May, the we'll known
sporting man of Reno, acting under
the instructions of a syndicate of busi-

to Ben Selig, manager of Cans, and
Billy Nolan, manager of Nelson, in
San Francisco recently. Nolan imme-
diately accepted the offer for Nelson,
but Selig declared that he would not
be prepared to give his answer until
after Cans fight with George Memsic
at Los Angeles on Sept. 27. Although
close to $4,000 persons saw the fight
between Joe Cans and Jimmy Britt
the receipts of the show did not
amount to as much as it was expected
they would The actual receipts fig
ured up $35,9O3. OF this amount the
fighters got 60 per cent. Cans for
winning received S12,625.SO, while
Britt for losing got 40 per cent, which
netted him sS,6l6.40. AS Cans also
won over $4,000 in bets he realized
altogether $17625,SO on the contest.

RAILROAD FILLS GOAL BIN
NORTHWESTERN HAS 5000 TONS
IN NORFOLK.
BURN 1850 TONS EVERY DAY

A Surplus Of 25,ooo Tons Has Been
Unoaded West Of the Missouri River
to Guard Against Coal Famines in
Winter Months.
The Northwestern has filled its coal
bin.
At Norfolk and at other centers the
road is pilng up its annual supply of
storage coal.
In the local yards alone the North
western has just finished unloading
5000 tons of coal. The Norfolk man
who was unpleasantly reminded Fri
day of the prospects of winter coal
bill can figuratively shake hands with
the big railroad for it too has its little
coal bill.
1t isn't all profit in railroading.
Each day the Northwestern road on
its lines west of the Missouri burns
/, $50 tons of coal. And the Norfolk
lame when he tries to imagine his big
neighbor shoveling that much coal
each day into his furnace.
The Northwestern each day replen-
ishes its coal supply from the mines.
But as the winter months approach it
lays in each year surplus supply of
25,000 tons of coal, a surplus to pro-
| tect the lines west of the river during
| the winter months when traffic may be
congested and snow storms threaten.
And each spring the big coal supply
dwindles down to nothing.
So the Northwestern has just filled
it's coal bin. At Norfolk it has stored
5000 tons of COAL at Long Pine 5000
tons, at Chadron 5000 tons, at Ere
mont 5000 tons, at Casper 1000 tons
and 5000 more tons in storage sheds
It's a lot of coal that the North.
western has in Uorfolk, almost a ton
for every man, woman and child in
the city.
And if every man, woman and child
in Norfolk would secretly attack the
Northwestern big coal pile, each per
son carrying away twentythree
pounds of coal each night, on Christ
mas eve the road would still have
enough coal left in Norfolk to get uE
steam on every engine over the Ne
braska and Wyoming divisions.
And over the northwest the roat
has 25,OOO tons of coal stored for win
ter emergencies. It's big pile but it's
only an eighteen days supply for the
Northwestern.

DR.. YOUNG ON INSANITY
Hospital Superintendent Creates In.
terest in Insanity Definition.


Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 2S-While tes-
tifying that he considered Frank Bark
er a sane man DR.. Young, superinten-
dent of the Norfolk asylum. gave
definition of insanity which excited
the interest of the spectators.
On rOss-examination, being request
ed to define insanity so that the lay
mind might understand the definition.
the doctor said:
Insanity is an abnormal and dis
eased condition of the mind which re-
suits in the acting or following out OF
an idea at variance with the patients
accustomed acts and ideas and at vari-
ance with the standard of social OBJ
servances of his fellow men; that Is,
men in the same sphere of life. There
fore, what would constitute insanity
in a civilized person would not be CON
sidered as such in a savage"
There was small likelihood that the
case will go to the jury before this af-
ternoOn.
