Neigh, Neb., Sept 2S.-Special to
The News: Owing to the scarcity Of
help, Mrs. Victor Carlson, living south
Of Clearwater, was so seriously injured
a few days ago that it is feared she
will be cripple the rest of her life.
After finishing the days work in
moving grass she returned to the
house, and was embarrassing the team,
but neglected to throw the mower out
of gear when the horses started up,
causing the sickle to cut through the
ligaments above the heel of her right
limb, and quite badly cutting the other
lin balso. 1t was necessary to make
an incision Of three or four inches to
bring the ligaments down so they
could be sewed together in the most
severe wound.

The Two Judges.

Ainsworth Star-Journal: James A
Douglas of Bassett and Daniel B
Jenckes of Chadron were in town last
Friday They are the republican nom
inees for judges of this district-nom
mated by the people-the first in
stance of the kind in the history OF
the state. No clique in the back room
of down town office or place of bust
ness forced them upon the people
they were named by the people in
their primary capacity.
OF these candidates, indivually 1t is
well perhaps, to say a word
James A. Douglas is a neighbor
He is well known in Ainsworth and in
Brown county He is known both fol-
his ability and his aggressiveness
He is known for the fact that what
ever he undertakes to do, he does with
all his might and main, and does it
well.
In being a candidate for this Judge,
ship and in accepting the nomination
at the hands of the people, he has
undertaken to serve the people and
no one else. If the history of Mr.
Douglas is to be taken as any guide
he will serve the people well. The
Star-Journal believes that he will or
it would not give him support in this
campaign. But it believes that he
will put the same energy, ability and
fidelity into the work that will be his
to do that he has given to his clients
in the past.
Daniel B. Jenckes is not so well
known here. He lives at Chadron
which is quite distance away, and
has not visited Ainsworth very often
But in the times that he has been here
he has made many friends. Our peo
pie were pleased with his appearance
both times and they will give him 10y
al support. He is a man Of ability
and Is ranged among the leading mem.
bers of the Nebraska bar.
There is no reason why the people
should not elect both of these men
The party has a large majority, and
the people Of the party made the nom.
nations, so there is no occasion for
any one to be sore. In point Of ability
these gentlemen are much the superior
OF the other two, and otherwise there
is no reason to shun a comparison.
The Lincoln Legal News insinuates
that there is move on foot to elect
one republican judge in this district
and picks the winning candidates tc
be Douglas (rep) and WestoveI
(dem) The StarJournal is sure there
is nothing of the kind. The repub
licans have the votes in this district
and can easily elect Douglas and
Jenckes, and they will do it.

A Norfolk Romance Is Disclosed by an
Elk Point Dispatch--Bridal Couple
Tried to Keep Secret From Friends.
Both Prominent.
IErom Saturdays Dnilyl
Carl II. Pilger and Miss Lena pasc-
walk of Norfolk were married at Elk
Point, s. d., on Wednesday afternoon.

the wedding and brought to naught

Norfolk friends. The bride and groom
arrived in Norfolk Thursday evening.

merous suspocting friends ut the NJ.

news dispatch from Elk Point Satur-
day that brought to light this newest
Norfolk romance.
Miss Pascwalk, who In Norfolk
makes her home with her uncle, Her
man Pasewalk, had been visiting rel
atives for a week at Parker, S. d.,
Wednesday morning she was met at
Canton, S. d., by the prospective
groom who ostensibly had gone to
Omaha on business.
The wedding ceremony was per-
formed in the court house at Elk
Point Wednesday afternoon, County
Judge Jerome Mangan officiating. 1t
was the simple ceremony of a quiet
court house wedding.
Thursday evening Mr.. and Mrs. Pill
ger arrived in Norfolk from Sioux City.
To secure laugh on friends and
avoid the attentions that are bestowed
to keep the wedding quiet for two
weeks.
Norfolk friends of the young people,
suspecting a secret wedding, had gath
cred at the M. & o. depot for a noisy
welcome home. But failing to observe
the groom on the back platform they
found only Miss Pasewalk" returning
from South Dakota visit. Until to-
day none save the young people them.
selves were aware of the wedding.
Both bride and groom are members
of pioneer Norfolk families.
and Mrs. William Pasewalk, who lived
three miles west of the city. Miss
Pasewalk grew to womanhood in Nor
folk.
Mr.. Pilger is a son of the late Aug
ust Piger and Mrs. Bertha Pilger,
still living in Norfolk. During the
Spanish-American war he was first SER
geant in the Norfolk company of vol
unteers, Company l., Second Nebras-
ka. For five years after the war he
was first lieutenant of the Norfolk
of the state guard. For the
year past Mr.. Pilger has been engaged
in the grocery business in Norfolk.
At this time he is at the head Of the
new militia company and chief of the
Norfolk volunteer fire department. 1t
was in part the fear of undue activity
of the part of these organizations that
led to the Elk Point wedding being
kept quiet.

Reduced to Ten.
There Is little or no prospect that
the Norfolk high school will be repre-.

fall. Last fall local football enthusi-
asm lost much of It's force after the
accident to Carl Austin in Sioux City.
Another obstacle in the way of the
organization of an eleven lies in the
fact that much of the available foot

GOVERNMENT WANTS GEMS.
Three Packages of Pearls Said to Have
Been imported.

New York, Sept. 2S.-The importa-
ton of three packages of pearls val
ued at $4,000 wholesale and alleged
by the government to have been snug
gled into this country several weeks
ago, is being investigated by the GUS
toms authorities. Manuel Cornejo, a
California dealer in pearls, owns the
germs, which were shipped to Paris
by way of New York and subsequently
brought back again through this city.
The customs officials at San Fran
cisco besides making a charge of
smuggling against Cornejo have begun
civil suit for the forfeiture of the
pearls on the ground that the ten per
cent duty to which they are subject
on importation was not paid. Receipts
of the New York custom house show
that Cornejo shipped some pearls to
Paris and reshipped them back here
and he contends that these are the
pearls found in his possession.
The customs officials say that, even
if there was a reshipment, the pearls
are of Oriental origin, and the defen.
dant must show that duty was paid on
their first entry into this country. The
owner declares that while the pearls
pass in trade for Oriental gems, they
are really of American origin.

The mercury in Norfolk got down to

But corn was practically all safe in

only point where the frost put a stop
to anything that was really wanted,
was in the pastures.
