GOOD NIGHT.

And let no mournful yesterdays
Disturb thy peaceful heart;
Nor let tomorrow scare thy rest
With dreams of coming i'll.
Thy Maker is thy changeless friend, \
His love surrounds thee still.
Forget thyself with all thy woes;
Put out each feverish light;
The stars are watching overhead,
Sleep sweet, good night, good night.

MOTOR CARE AS EXPERIMENT.
That Between Fremont and York First
on Northwestern.

The new motor car service which
has been established between Fremont
and York on the Northwestern, is the
first to be installed by the Northwest
ern. It's operation is directly under
the supervision of the railroad head
quarters in Norfolk, this being the
hub of all Chicago & Northwestern
lines west of the Missouri river.
The new car was turned out by the
Union Pacific shops in Omaha. II is
motor car No. 16 This service has
been installed as an experiment and
If it is a success, the same sort OF
cars will undoubtedly be tried else
where. The car on the York-Fremont
line, while running smoothly, has not
yet attracted great patronage and II
will depend upon the ability OF the
service to create new business, as &c
whether 1t is deemed success or fail
ure. Two men run it, motormar
and a conductor.
BY virtue of this new service, people
from the York line are enabled fol
the first time in their lives to go t
Omaha and back the same day.
There are no plans for installing
motor service in the territory arount
Norfolk, at least for the present.

HER HAIR AFLAME, SAVES SELF
Mrs. L. B. MusseIman of Norfolk Had
Narrow Escape.

Mrs. l.. b. Musselman at her home
on Norfolk avenue had very narrow
escape Wednesday morning from re-
ceiving serious burns as a result of an
explosion of hard coal gas. Mrs. Mus
selman was bending over the door of
the hard coal burner when the gas ig-
nited, the flames spreading instantly
to her hair. With rare presence of
mind Mrs. Musselman kept control Of
herself while she eXtinguished the
fire with her hands. She was alone
at the time.
The hard coal stove had been put in
place at the Musselman home. About
8 o'clock when the fire did not appear
to be burning Mrs. Musselman bent
forward and opened the stove door.
Instantly the accumulated gas in the
stove caught flame, the fire being
communicated at once to Mrs. Mussel-
mans hair
Mrs. Musselman did not lose her
presence of mind but in a moment had
the flames out with her hands.
While her hair about her forehead
was singed by the flames, Mrs, Mus
seman suffered most from the severe
shock.

favor. one OF our ends, Better. was
hurt early In the struggle and lost
much OF his speed. At one juncture
Nebraska tricked the gophers and
Cooke tossed the ball perfectly to
Better on forward pass. Better
would have had clear field for a
touchdown, but he was unable to
speed up and catch the oval, the ball
going over his head and striking the
ground. This was one of our best
plays, and It would have worked beau.
tifully but for Beltzer's incapacity to
run After that the gophers were wise
to the play and our best chance had
gone.
81 must give Minnesota credit for
playing clean, strong football. The
cornhuskers held their opponents safe
when touchdown was threatened,
but DR.. Williams team was playing a
vastly better game than on the pre-
vious Saturday against Ames. The
gophers were much stronger In every
department. We came close to beat
ing them, however, and that is some
thing in our favor.
Minnesota, evidently, is just get
ting under Roadway, and future OPP
ponents will have battle on their
hands in beating the gophers. Capron
is superb kicker and | shall be sur
prised If his kicking does not worry
Chicago and Carlisle.
81 was especially pleased over the
fact that our game with the gophers
was not marred by any muckerism
Both teams played clean football and
there were no attempts at dirty foot
ball when the officials were not look
ing. The Minnesotans treated us roy.
ally and there are no sore spots mere
ly because of our defeat"

KING COLE TALKS.
Gives His Ideas Gained From Side
line Study of the Game.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 23.-Nebraska's
football warriors are back again on
cornhusker sod, satisfied Of having
made a good fight in their grueling
battle with Minnesota, and determined
to do still better in the future games.
Minnesota stands high in football cir
Giles in the middle west and Nebraska
rooters are rather elated over the sue
cess of the cOrnhuskers in compelling
the gophers to be content with low
score.
1t was Nebraska's first real conflict
of the season, the previous games
| having been so easy that Coles pupils
have not yet been subjected to a test.
| The cornhuskers, almost to a man,
emerged from the battle without in
jury a condition gratifying to the
coaches, as the Nebraska eleven now
must face Colorado university, the
Ames Aggies and Kansas university
on three successive Saturdays. Cole
anticipates a stiff fight in all of these
games. Colorado is Nebraskas next
opponent, the mountaineers being
booked to invade Nebraska field on
Saturday, Oct. 26.
While not cast down in spirit, Cole
was disappointed over the result of
the Minnesota game. "Of course the
critics may say that our touchdown
was fiuky," he says, "but rather view
it in the light that Nebraska played
keen enough football to be able 70
take advantage Of Caprons tumble
nabbing the ball and running for a
touchdown. The newspaper reports
were in error in crediting Captain
Weller in making the run which
scored our points. Fullback KrogeI
made the touchdown, although Weller
} and three other Nebraska players
were on hand at the critical moment
: to ward off gopher tacklers.

CLOSE WATCH ON scAelEs.
Feared That the Disease is Spreading

Grated with the government was
thought to have nearly wiped out the
disease.
In this state the county cattle in
spectors were materially assisted by
the government inspectors, and in the
western half most of the disease was
eliminated But in the eastern part
OF the state the dipping order was re
sisted by many cattle owners, and the
disease remained in different spots.
These have been spreading. In the
western part of the state also vigil
lance has been relaxed this year, re-
sulting in complaints from the east
ern markets that South Dakota cattle
are coming In which are affected.
Unless radical action is taken by
