 The score was to in the Boosters favor, the locals coming with a great rush just at the end, winning after the Ba- rons had secured a good lead. When the eight inning opened the score was 5 to 1 in Birminghams favor. At this point Turner, who had been pitching splendid ball against Nashville, weakened. The Boosters filled the bases, and with only one man down Jimmy Mccormick stepped up and broke up the game" as the fan would say, slashing three-bagger to left center, Dobbs, Wiseman and McIIl- veen coming home on the liner

How Turner Weakened.

It was another great game, both teams playing an all around gilt edged article. Purdue. the Gallatin boy, sold to tie locals by the Chicago Nationals, had his first try out and pitched nice ball. He gave up nine hits. these being scattered in all but the sixth inning, when three, one of which was a triple by Meek, sent two men over the plate. Nashville con nected successfully eight times. The Ba- ron slabman was steady until the eighth, when two singles and McCormicks triple, to say nothing of base on balls and an error by Walters, allowed the Boosters to overcome the lead, which was main- tained to the end.

STATE CAPITOL AND NORFOLK.
The Omaha World.Herald says that
dhe time is not far distant when the
matter OF moving Nebraskas state
capitol will occupy the attention OF
tho people OF the state. And the
world.Herald suggests Hastings, Grand
island or Fremont as probable points
that would be considered
Again northern Nebraska is left off
the map. Norfolk doesn't enter the
world-Herald's head And that In
spite OF the fact that Norfolk is the
most available center Of any interior
town in the state today.
Norfolk Is reached by railroad from
I'VE different directions. Norfolk Is
the hub OF the Northwestern's railroad
system west OF the Missouri river, and
out of here radiate the lines that go
to Fremont, Omaha, Lincoln and other
points. Norfolk is the axis upon which
this system turns. Norfolk is also the
gateway to the richest region In Ne
braska. In years to come this section
will be the most thlckly populated.

est. Living on farm, he has brought
to his work a practical knowledge of
roads and bridges which has resulted
In the very material advancement Of
the highways and the bridges in this
county. He believes In good roads.
He believes that good roads will save
money for every farmer In the county,
in hauling their grain to market. He
believes that the county's interest die
tates the expenditure of It's road funds
in an intelligent way 80 that the best
results will be gained. During his
term a new system has been adopted,
by which the county gets actual work
for the money expended. He believes
that 1t Is cheaper and better to build
substantial steel bridges which will
last for many years than to keep on
building wooden ones which need to
be repaired and practically replaced
every little while. Before John Hard
ing's service as commissioner, road
work was all done by the day. Now
1t Is done by the piece, and there is a
bill on file In the Office of the county
clerk for every piece Of road work
done. The county Is for the first time
in its life getting it's moneys worth
In this respect. j. B. Gabelmann Of
Kalamazoo writes to Mr.. Harding, af-
ter figuring up the amount of work
recently done: This Is the first mon
ey spent in our district for fifteen
years and 1t Is now one of the best
roads In the county. We will remem-

people owe John H. Harding debt
that it would take more than support
in this election to pay off. For twenty
years Norfolk has suffered constant
damage and annoyance from "Corpo-
ration gulch" in the west part of town.

done Homes were flooded and prop.
erty ruined. Yet 1t has been under
the administration of John H. Harding
that this gulch has been remedied, a
new drainage canal built and the wa
ter turned off into the river John
Harding stands for better roads and
better bridges. He stands for the well
fare of Madison county. His election
for second term has been earned.
His election is needed in order that
a distribution of commissioners may
be had over all parts of the county,
giving all sections representation.
His defeat would place two commits
sioners at one town. John H. Hard
ing Is entitled to a second term as
commissioner. His record makes him
a desirable county commissioner. Nor
folk can not afford to turn down Mr..
Harding, on account of location. His
opponent living In the south half of
the county, Hardings defeat would
leave only one commissioner to look
after the interests of the whole north
half.

PASSING Of HORSE THIEF
FARMERS IN ROSEBUD COUNTRY

MANY HAVE LIVED AS RANcHERs

Robert Chambers, a South Dakota
Ranchman In Norfolk Yesterday,
Said That the Thieves Were Mostly
Half.breed Indians.
The coming Of the farmer to south.
ern South Dakota means the extermi-
nation of the horsethief as we'll as the
death of the range. This is the word
Of Robert Chambers for years South
Dakota ranchman living near West
over In Lyman county. Chambers was
in Norfolk on his way to Atkinson.
Stolen horses from South Dakota
are marketed in north Nebraska, &C.
cording to Chambers. and by the same
process horses sneaked from the barn
OF the north Nebraska farmer find
their way to South Dakota.
In some instances, Mr.. Chambers
said, notorious gangs have operated
undisturbed. Ranchmen many times
were afraid to incur the ill-will of the
suspected thieves who on the surface
conducted themselves as ranchmen.
one OF the worst or the suspected
gang was recently captured" said Mr..
Chambers. "He was halfbreed and
a close neighbor of mine. It's a fact
that the halfbreeds are by all odds the
horsethieves of South Dakota. They
have the white mans vices and cum
ming and they have the Indians lack
of responsibility and no standards at
all
But the people cannot stand 1t much
longer and a change is coming with
the settlers. A farming community
means strict law. The anti-horsethief
association may spread north with the
settlers.
"And north Nebraska is interested
in this change"
