JUDGE POWERS APPOINTED
Is Named as Deputy Clerk of Federal
Court in Norfolk.

Judge Isaac Powers has been ap-
pointed deputy clerk of the federal
court for the Norfolk district. The
clerkship, which relates to both the
United States district and circuit
courts, carries with it an Office in the
federal building. The work connected
with the office does not make eXhaus.
tive demands on the time of the holder.
Judge Powers appointment to the
vacancy in the Norfolk court Office was
made by the clerks of the United
States district and circuit courts at
Omaha with the approval of Judge
Munger of the federal bench. Judge
Powers this morning said that he
would accept the proffered appoint
ment with the understanding that it
would not interfere with such law
practice as he may care to carry on.
Judge Powers is appointed to succeed
Warren McClary, resigned.
The appointment came to Judge
Powers entirely unsolicited.

The New Road Law.

Madison Chronicle: The last ses-
sion of the legislature passed a num-
Der of laws which have created more
or less uneasiness in the minds Of
many people on account of the fact
that they were ignorant of the real
provisions of such new laws. The
publication of the session laws for
some reason was delayed several
weeks beyond the statutory limits.
One of the laws which has caused trou-
BILE and annoyance by reason of a lack
of knowledge of it's provisions is the
road law.
1t is the duty of the commissioners
to divide the county into road districts
but the law provides that no district
shall be constituted to contain less
than one or more than two townships
in area. The road districts at the pres
ent time comprise one-half of a town
ship. We are not sure but that it
would be a wise plan to divide the
county into eight districts which would
be two townships to each district. The
road overseer could then plan his work
to better advantage and there would
be sufficient compensation to warrant
him in giving it more attention. When
the road districts are too small there
is a great deal of time wasted in haul
| ing tools from one district to another

and there is positively no uniformity
or system in grading up roads for any
considerable distance Perhaps we do
not understand conditions but to our
judgment a road district comprising
two townships would result in more
economical expenditure of labor and
money.
Anyone desiring to become a candi-
date for township or precinct Office
may have their names placed upon the
primary ballot by simply filing the
necessary paper with the county clerk.
There is no fee or cost connected with
such filing.

TWO NEW TOURING CARS.

New Machines to Town.

e. A. Bullock's and Leo Pasewalk's
new touring cars arrived in Norfolk
Friday morning from Omaha "a la
freight" Messrs. Bullock and Pase-
walk arrived home last night from
Omaha, their failure to bring the new
cars to Norfolk across country being
attributed to the bad roads between
Omaha and Fremont. Both the new
machines added to the rapidly growing
list of Norfolk automobiles, are Buick
touring cars. The big machines are
both twenty-five horse power and are
nearly identical in design.
