NORFOLK IDEAL PACKING TOWN
Bud Powers, Manager of Big Plant at
jacksonville, IT., Says So.

Isaac Powers, jr, known well in
Norfolk as Bud" is secretary, treas
urer and manager of packing plant
at Jacksonville, H., 100 miles from st.
Louis, and has built up a large bust
ness along practically the same lines
upon which it is proposed to work in
Norfolk Mr.. Powers spent Christmas
with his parents in this city and while
here told of his plant and expressed
the belief that a similar institution
could be made a success in Norfolk.
1t would be merely question of get
ting at the head of the business, he
said, a man who thoroughly under
stands the work.
Mr.. Powers took charge of the Jack
sonville plant a year and half ago.
The town gave its hearty support by
way of patronage to the institution,
and has helped to boom it.
Mr.. Powers said that he thought
Norfolk, with its large territory north
and west of here, with stock coming
from that section and products going
into it, making better railroad rates
both ways and therefore saving for
the consumers in the whole territory,
ought to make an ideal packing town.
A packing house here, Mr.. Powers
said, ought to employ 100 men the
year around and ought to spend ST.
100000 per year for labor and stock
He says that at Jacksonville the plant
is obliged to ship in from 100 miles
and buy in competition with other To-
cal plants. He says that nearly all
good sized towns in Illinois have one
or more packing houses, but that there
is no competition among. them to I'M
dermine one another nor need the
large packers be feared. He says that
there is a great demand for all pro
ducts that can be turned out

FORM packing COMPANY
NEW INDUSTRY WANTS TO USE
SUGAR FACTORY.
$4,000 HAS BEEN SUBSCRIBED
E. II. Luikart of Tilden and Others
Have Already Organized Company
to Start New Norfolk lndustry-oft.
GERS Elected-The Plan.
tFrom Wednesdays Daily.l


A company has been organized for
plant in Norfolk, provided the old
sugar factory building may be used
without cost, according to the policy
announced by the Industrial company,
who own the property. Il. II. Luikart
of Tilden is at the head of the new
company and discussed its plans to
The News yesterday.
The new corporation will be called
the Norfolk Packing company. It's
capital stock will be 100000, of which
$4,000 has already been subscribed.
There will be 100 stockbuyers of north
ern Nebraska in the company and 200
butchers, which will make them inter
ested in sending live stock here and in
buying the products. A meeting was
held on Christmas day, officers have
been elected, a manager chosen and
all preliminary plans made. Much
more capital stock will be subscribed
as soon as Mr.. Luiliart learns from the
Industrial company whether or not the
factory buildings can be had for use.
Active operations will begin, it is
planned, next winter and machinery
will be made for the plant during the
coming summer.
Mr.. Luikart was not ready to an
nounce the names of officers of the
company. He said that one live stock
buyer has subscribed $4,000 and an
other $4,000 and that there will be no
trouble in disposing of all the stock.
He referred to the Beatrice packing
plant, recently established, where the
citizens of the town took $4,000 in
stock and co-operated in every pos.
sible way.
H. A. Pasewalk, president of the In
dustrial company, announced some
time ago that the sugar factory build
ing would be turned over to any indus
try, free of rent and for the mere pay
ment of taxes, which would guarantee
to operate and employ labor in num-
bers large enough to suit the company.
Mr.. Luikart states that the packing
plant would start in with good force
of men and work up to at least forty.
Only pork and poultry would be han
died by the plant.
1t is believed that the new plant
would be great benefit to stock buy
ers, butchers and farmers of the new

Erratic Weather.

The New Year was greeted by the
weather man with snow storm which
covered the earth with a coat of white
ness before night. At no time was the
atmosphere very cold and about dark
the snow changed to a warm rain.
This continued during the greater por-
ton of the night and by morning the
snow was practically all melted, and
a. bright autumn sun was shining.
About that time the weather man sent
in a forecast that it would be much
colder and there would be more snow
before night.

A STORMY NEW YEAR.
Most Severe Storm Of the Season at
Neigh.

Neigh, Neb., Jan. Especial to The
News: This vicinity was visited by
snow most the entire day the first of
the year and toward evening turned
into rain and continued until mid
night. This is the most severe winter
storm we have had this season.
The only entertaining feature last
evening in Neigh was dance in Gle
seekers hall given by the young people
of town. 1t was an enjoyable crowd
in attendance despite the disagreeable
weather that at first assured a small
number of the young folks who usual
ly take part in these festivities.

Vaudeville. at lyric.

If you want to laugh see the vaude-
vile show at the Lyric theatre this
week. 1t is one round of merriment
from start TO finish. and there is not
one dull act on the bill. The company
that occupies the boards at this thea
tire this week has scored a distinct hit
on the coast. The James Francis-Sul-
Ivan company. head the program with
the craziest act in vaudeville At the
matinee yesterday that opened their en-
gagement in this city they secured sew
eral welf-deserved encores. There is
comedy galore all through the some
what lengthy bill. Mitchell and Love,
in the comedy dream 1.-THE Home Com
ing" are seen in as clever a piece of
fun making as has been put on the vau-
devilie stage. 1t is so real funny that
one can't stop laughing until the cur
tain is rung down on the act
May Evans knows how to whistle, and
she renders several pleasing selections,
She is a rather good-looking girl, and
this adds in a measure to the value of
her performance. The Ozsrs, comedy
jugglers, juggle words as we'll as other
things, and they make things hum
while they occupy the stage. Their act
is 4 distinct novelty and is entirely I'M
like any juggling act now being pre-
sented to the public. Helen Brandon is
toe dancer that bids fair to acquire
fame with her nimble little feet. Her
well-built costumes and special scenery
add to the charm of her sketch. During
the past week the Lyric artists have
played to capacity houses, and it is ex-
pected that the house will be filled at
every performance this week. The NOV
ing picture machine will be used to
show scenes from the Thaw- Evelyn
Nesbit-White romance and tragedy.
These pictures are said to be highly
sensational in many respects.

Schnapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from Flue Cured
Tobacco Grown in the Piedmont Country.
The Imitation Brands Have SchnappS
Quality Only On the Outside
OF the Plug

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps to-
bacco. The outside of the imitation
plugs of tobacco is flue cured the same
as Schnapps, but the inside is filled
with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened
air cured tobacco. One chew of
Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger
longer than two chews of such to-
bacco. The color, size and shape
of the tags, plugs and packages of
certain imitation brands of tobacco
have been made so much like
Schnapps that they have often been
accepted by buyers under the belief
that they were getting Schnapps.
Sufficient proof has been secured
to establish the fact that certain
brands are infringements and in vio-
lation of the trade mark laws, yet the
trade will continue to be imposed
upon by these infringers until the suit
already entered and now pending to
protect Schnapps is decided. A
great many of these limitations are
