NORFOLK GAS PLANT.

Water and lighting service form the
two principal kinds of semi-public SER

solved by a successful experiment in
municipal water works. In lighting

GREGORY IS LIVELY TOWN
Business Men There Say They Will be

BUSINESS Men Ihere say Ihey VIII be
Protected and Not Injured.
The business men of Gregory, S. d.,
said to be one of the liveliest commu-
mites to be found anywhere in the
northwest, are not and have not at any
time contemplated plan to file injunc-
ton against the Northwestern railroad,
preventing an extension to Dallas, ac-
cording to c. H. Groesbeck, who re-
turned on the early train from a trip
into the Rosebud country. 1t is said
that the people of Gregory entertain
only the most kindly sentiment toward
the Northwestern railroad and its Off
Gals, as was shown by the fact that
they purchased and gave to the North
western eight miles of right of way,
leading into Gregory. Gregory bust
ness men are said to place confidence
in the Northwestern and believe that
Gregory interests will be protected
since it is said that an official of the
railroad in Chicago assured a repre-
sentative of the Gregory Commercial
club that no action would ever be TAX
en- that would injure the town of Greg

Norfolk people use the gas for light

About What They viii DO During
the Coming Summer - Have Been
Cards, Dinners and Dances.
The past week in social way has
not been record-breaker In Norfolk,
but there has been enough doing, for
all that, to keep the town moving along
at a steady and perfectly comfortable
gait. There have been cards and
dances and dinners and the week, with
al has been a pleasant one.
Norfolk people are already planning,
If the frost ever gets melted out of
the air, to take summer vacations.
Some of them are planning for the
old camp grounds with canvas homes
and the songs of birds and the satisfac-
ton of drawing in good sized catfish
each morning from the Elkhorn's swift
stream. Others are planning for the
usual summer resort in some more or
less distant spot with sailing and game
fishing and launches and dances. 9th
ers are planning for the distant back
woods, with rural scenes and new
ones, to give weeks rest and recre-
alton.
Within another month the younger
set of social folk will be coming back
to Norfolk from colleges for their an
nual summer vacations and picnics.
All in all, therefore, the town Is just
coming into a sort of betwixt and be-
tween season, socially speaking, with
the pleasures of an active winters pc
Rod rapidly slipping into the back,
ground and the out-of-door activities
of torrid months looming up In the
east.

"Clairvoyant, palmist, card reader
and finder of lost and stolen property"
all these occupations did not serve
to keep Madam" Strack OF Norfolk
busy. At moments when the demand
for hidden treasure waned the mad
am" turned to cure and heal the sick.
That was where she bumped into the
law and afforded County Attorney
Koenigstein the opportunity to charge
"A violation of the state medical laws.
Madam" Strack was fined $50 Sat
urday afternoon by Justice George C.
Lambert for extending her field OF OPP
! erations into the practice Of medicine.
Ten dollars OF the fine was paid, the
: remainder of the amount standing
against her in the court docket The
madam was released to raise this
amount and to make arrangements to
leave the city. For the fortune teller
must go. The county attorney has
told her that half dozen more charg-
es will be filed If she remains in Nor
! folk.
Madam Strack turned "topsy turvy"
a Norfolk neighborhood in which she
chose to operate. Frightened women
and disrupted households followed in
| her wake according to the tales
brought to the county attorneys office.
Then there was the lard treatment.
The Lard" Treatment.
Il rubbed 'em with lard, | washed
EN- with hot water and | said The
pain is going away. The pain is go
ing away. The pain is going away
and it went away" Madam Strack
thus laid bare the method of her heal
ing powers in justice court Saturday.
A fortune telling in her Office at
225 Norfolk avenue, the madam" was
interrupted Saturday afternoon by the
warrant from Justice Lambert's court
calling her to account for the alleged
illegality of her professional methods.
The charge against Madam Strack was
preferred by Mrs. Auguste Neigenfind,
whose eighteen year.old brother, Aug
ust Gruchow, had taken the lard treat
ment without showing visible improve

Scorned $3.50 to Find Gold.
The charges brought against me

Madam Strack pleaded guilty to the
! charge of practicing medicine without
authority. She was told by the county
attorney that charges of even a more
serious nature might be filed against
her.

Drank Gallons Of Coffee.
In Norfolk for twenty minutes yes

1t was an amiable lot of red men and
none more so than Chief Rocky Bear

show route this summer for the first
time in twenty years. Eight-four years
old today, Rock Bear was one of the
first Indians who went out with Buff
falo Bills Wild West. Now after
twenty years away from the show
arena, he goes forth again to typify
the days of the red men, whose reign
is fast fading memory even in these
western lands. The Indian man car

gaging smile, confiding and bland ant
apparently as genuine as his willing
and liberal hand shake.

The party will reach New York Sun
day evening and will be with Cody's
big show when it opens an American
season in Madison square garden OF
April %. After four years in Europe

Facts Well Known to unfertunatss
 Who Have No Homes.

Dinner. as physicians and laymen agree. should not consist of the pound of beef and quart of coffee the con- demned murderer swallows upon the eve of his hanging to rob death of its sting and the grave of it's victory, says the Louisville Courier-Journal. A plate of soup, a piece of steak, a fish or a fowl. with 8 salad, some vegetables, a dessert and coffee, con- sdtute the dinner of unostentatious variety. Patriarchs tell us that such g dinner was once obtainable in San Francisco and in New York, and at intermediate points. at prices not pro hibitive to the man of moderate in- come, but such meal ordered Ia carte in our modern restaurants is too expensive for the majority of pa irons and too large dinner for one man to consume. The trouble is that sach portion" is too large The ex- isting arrangement of portions" and prices causes us to eat too much meat and die of kidney disease. or too few vegetables and die of indigestion with its various and tragic ramifica- tions. Our alternative is to court lin gering death at the moderate priced table d'hote where is served imita- tion food, long-cooked and without savor.

 But the best work of Darius was when he gave a poem to his son Flu gene to pass upon. Darius wrote poetry now and then for the local pa pers, and often had Eugene pass upon ia. That Is no use. father" said Flu gene. on three straight days, to three different poems. When the same yer dict was rendered on the fourth day, Darius remarked:

 Darius had palmed off Tennyson effort on Eugene. who was so busy that he could not give the proper esti- mate.
