The reverend editor of the Republic

show any boom in weddings.
Tilden Citizen: 1t Is not often that
one trainload of cattle tops the Chi
cago market with three classes of beef.
This happened last week and the own
ers of the cattle all live in this local
ity. Gottfried Whitwer secured the
highest price paid for steers, Henry
Schumacher was paid the top price for
cows, and Oelsligle Bros. received a
higher rate than any other shipper for
fat heifers. When one considers the
number of competing feeders such a
showing is somewhat remarkable and
speaks well both for the successful
shippers and the territory wherein such
success is possible.
Tekamah Herald: Sheriff Phipps
has been kept unusually busy for the
last week or two and he has been ex-
ceedingly fortunate in getting every
man that he goes after The man
Welch, who took the John Robley team
last week from near Lyons is still at
large, but it is only a question of time
when he will be playing checkers with
his nose. Sheriff Phipps caused
Welch's arrest in Omaha and brought
him back to Calhoun, where he left
the team, and was persuaded by the
he was not the man. John Robley
from whom the team was stolen. is a
brnther-in-law to Welch and he insist
ed that WEIGH was not the man and
thot he should be turned loose. Sher-
in .bps did not want to incur any
more expense on the county If he had

| II was only a short time later that he
had sufficient evidence to convince him
that he N the right man and we be-
lieve that itobley thinks so now. One
of the Rob',y horses died at Calhoun
from the eff cts of the hard drive. The
team was worth about $4,000.

A Game at Home

A Game at Home.
An alleged game of baseball oc-
ssaved yesterday afternoon between
two local mines at the Norfolk driving
park, Prices Jewels" going down to
second defeat before a lineup of
Norfolk young men. In the face of the
Sunday wind the "jewels" exerted
themselves most strenuously, bring
ing twenty men across the home plate
during the nine innings. Such splen-
did efforts would have "cinched" an
ordinary game but there was nothing
ordinary about Sundays contest, the
final score totaling up 25 to 20.
The Norfolk business college nine
expects to play the following games
this week: Wednesday, Norfolk

A. J. Durland, Commercial club com
mitteeman on the union depot, issued
the following statement regarding the
conference held between Union Pacific
and Northwestern railway officials in
Omaha Saturday, at which were pres
ent Mr. Durland and three other Nor
folk business men who were able to
make the trip on such short notice:
The committee consisting of
Messrs. Huse, Bullock, Butterfeld and
Durland, accompanied by Supt. Bra
den, had an hours session with Mr..
Walters in the matter of running
trains up to the city depot and placing
the offices in that locality.
THE first proposition did not meet
with much favor, but the second seems
to be feasible and possible, though
just when it might be done is problem
atical and depending upon several
things the most important of which
is the depot situation.
"Then we spent an hour in the Off
ces of the Union Pacific with General
Manager Mohler, General Traffic Man
ager Monroe, General Superintendent
Cahill and Chief Engineer Huntley,
having as you will see full delega-
ton of officers; also General Manager
Walters of the Northwestern and Gen
eral Superintendent Braden made up
the Northwestern end of the confer
ence.

print map of Norfolk, red lines show

pot, their right of way, etc.
AT former visit of our committee
to Mr. Mohler he had told us that he
did not think 1t possible to use only
the north end of the triangle between
the two roads just south of Madison
avenue as we had talked about in oul

judgment this would bring the trains

GALE WAS A STEM N|NDER
HOT SOUTH WIND BLEW FOR TWO
WHOLE DAYS.

pies Faces and Driven Through the
Sides of Houses-Temperat Got
Up to SO.
Such a wind!
Not since the days of long ago has
Norfolk or this portion of the north
west experienced two such disagree
able days as were Saturday and Sun
day. Beginning Saturday morning a
terrific gale from the south blew stead
lily into the north until early Monday
morning when the area of low pressure
passed over this point and the gale
switched around to a nor 'wester'. "
The wind on Sunday must have blown
at rate of easily sixty miles an hour
all day long, and dust from Texas
rolled into Norfolk homes by the ton.
Temperature Was go.
To add to the disagreeable feature
of the day, the wind was accompanied
by unusual heat-heat which regis
tered at ninety-three degrees above
zero on the government thermometer.
The dust literally ground into pople's
faces and sifted through the sides of
houses until housekeeping which had
been done last week will have to be
done all over again.
Was a Hope of Rain.
There was a hope of rain Sunday
evening when the area of low pres
sure, into which the wind had been
blowing all day, finally arrived from
the north. The heavens filled with
clouds and the lightning flashed hope
into northern Nebraska souls, but the
storm center passed on to the south
without dropping a raindrop,
Sudden Drop in Temperature.
The heat did not last through the
night. AS soon as the center of the
storm area had passed to the south
and the wind had consequently shifted
to the north, the mercury began to
sink and before morning it had
dropped fifty-one degrees, landing al
forty-three above zero just before
dawn.
Crops Are All Right.
Although there has been much less
than the usual moisture for this time
of year. farmers in this section are in
an optimistic mood and even rejoice
over the fact that, since it has beer
cold, there has been no rain. They
say that If there had been moisture II
the ground, the cold air would have
frozen things up hard but as it was
with dry soil, the cold nights did NJ
damage.
Perfume of Fruit Blossoms.
There was one redeeming featur,
about the wind. 1t served to saturat,
the Sunday air with the perfume o
fruit blossoms that are just making
their appearance in Norfolk.
