have an opportunity to see a north
Nebraska girl, Miss Lulu Nethaway
Of Wahoo, on the stage. Miss Meth

company by the tragic death of her
brother and sister-in.law, Valley Meth
away and wife, who played parts in as
terrible a tragedy as any the sister
has ever acted. Miss Nethaway's
company, the Kluber Dramatic COM
pany, plays in Rising City and Bell
wood this week and in Fullerton the
first Of next week. Then their book
ings contemplate trip through Nor
folk up the Bonesteel line. Miss Meth
away left Norfolk yesterday to join
her company at Rising City. She was

Lincoln Journal: The supreme
court has appointed three of the bar
commissioners to take testimony in
the matter of disbarment charges
against Attorney Allen G. Fisher Of
Chadron. The commissioners chosen
are c. II. Sloan of Geneva, w. l.. An
derson of Lincoln and H. p. Leavitt
of Omaha. Captain Fisher was the
subject of a Legislative investigation
on account of his connection with land
belonging to the estate of an alien
| that was offered to the state under the
law providing that alien heirs cannot
inherit real estate and that such lands
must escheat to the state, the state to
pay the appraised price of the proper
| ty. The legislature recommended
some action and Attorney General
Thompson some months ago filed re-
quest with the supreme court for dis
barment proceedings.
Remember the rural carrier" This
is a pertinent reminder which every
Christmas season holds for the rural
| route carrier, who on account of the
peculiar services he renders in his ca
pacity as a government agent usually
and very properly comes in for a
| Christmas remembrance. The five ru-
raj carriers who daily make their trips
out from the Norfolk postoffice will
spend Christmas day in the mail wag-
ons for the mails will be swamped
with the holiday rush and there is no
rest for the carrier. So the custom
of remembering the rural route car
rier for faithful service rendered often
under many difficulties has a very ma
tural and proper foundation. Patrons
of the rural routes who desire to re-
member their carriers usually do so
with a gift of farm produce, gifts
which the carriers appreciate.
| The state board of public lands and
buildings, according to a Lincoln dis
patch, has made change in the ma
terial in two of the buildings to be
constructed at the Norfolk asylum
without increasing the price but at
the expense of fireprooting for one
building. The board gets stone instead
of pressed brick. w. G. Merton of
Emerson, who had the contract for the
work, spent the day with the board,
Upon the advice of State Architect
Berlinghof the board made the change.
The contract price remains the same,
$77,S52. One wing, cottage and a
storehouse are to be built. Under the
law the wing is to be fireproof, but
the cottage need not be fireproof,
Both were originally to be of stone,
but brick was substituted in order to
get the bids within the appropriation.
The wing will still be of tireproof ma
terial but the cottage will not, though
the iron work is to remain the same
and both buildings will be of stone the
thickness of the walls.
