do not get as good coffee.

ers after April 10. The fishing season
opened April 1. This gives hunters
ten days in April In which they may
try the pleasures OF both hunting and
fishing Most hunters find the two
sports do not go well together. Either
the fish do not bite during the first
ten days in April or there are no
ducks or gees flying. Besides this
drawback they find it difficult to do
two things at once. If the fish bite
1t proves too interesting to leave and
pick up gun and go where the ducks
are quacking.
Spring duck shooting In north Ne
braska this year was counted as bet.
ter than it was last spring and afford
ed some compensation to the hunters
who missed out altogether on their
fall shooting. The ducks and geese
killed around Norfolk were for the
most part in fine condition.

LID ON IN FAIRFAX,
First Experience With Reform Gov
eminent in the Town.


Fairfax, S. D., April l3.-Special to
The News: I'm and out, and in again
and out again.-Finnigan." The new
town of Fairfax assumed control of
the city government last Tuesday and
appointed G. l.. Wizard marshall in
lieu of c. L. Ferguson, resigned, and
instructed the new marshall to put
the lid on" good and tight.
GIBBS troubles began Thursday night
when some of the boys" began to
get little top heavy and hilariously
drunk One fellow overreached the
limit and found himself in the coop"
Friends came to his rescue and he
was released on bond to go home and
report later for his alleged misconduct
But home he would not go just at
that time and soon began anew ito
raise Cain" which of course Glib did
not approve of and again took the
young man in charge and landed him
in the coop" for the second degree.
Quiet now seems to reign supreme
but no friends come TO his assistance
this time so after a reasonable time
apparently in vain, the prisoner pro-
ceeds to remove some of the wires"
that bar his freedom and the last seen
of the prisoner he was hiking" for
the south side of the Nebraska Dako-
ia border line.

FIRE TEAM AND WAGON.
Committee Appointed to Interview
Business Men,

The Norfolk firemen, in need Of
funds to purchase their new fire wag-
on, have appointed committee to
solicit subscriptions from Norfolk
people. The fire department is about
to add a regular fire team and wagon
to their equipment. The new arrange
ment will improve considerably the
local fire service as it will enable the
tiremen to get to fires quicker than
formerly. 1t will aid them especially
IN reaching night fires before the
flames have made too great Roadway.
The Norfolk fire department in point
of efficiency, has always ranked high.
But the department has been handi-
capped because the firemen in addi-
zion to fighting fire have had to either
drag the fire apparatus to the scene
of the blaze or attach the hose carts
to some wagon hastily pressed into
service.

n. W. Winter is Thankful to be Saved
From the Democratic Wreck.

H, W. Winter, the only democrat
elected for councilman in Norfolk,
who was chosen to represent the First
ward by a majority of three votes, is
feeling very comfortable over even
those three votes. They are much
bigger than they look to be on the
surface. They represent not only
their own intrinsic value but they rep
resent as well 81 more votes that the
Jepublican head of the ticket received
over the democratic candidate, conse-
Quently Mr.. Winter has a right to fig
ure that his majority was 60, and that
over one of the strongest candidates
IN the republican ticket. Mr.. Winter
wishes he might personally thank
every man who voted for him, but as
that is impossible he hopes this state
nent through The News may have the
Rme effect.

ment.
Mr.. Latenser will be called from
Omaha as soon as the contractor an
nounces the completion of the build
ing.
Contractor Vain has fallen about
ninety days short of completing the
building within the contract time. His
contract calls for n forfeit for each

feet of the elaborate decorations was
the equally attractive display of pretty
Easter apparel.
The Easter opening was something
OF a novelty in that no goods were per.
mitted to be sold during the evening.
The big store was simply thrown open
to its Norfolk friends for display OF
the new ideas in wearing apparel and
the various modes of the new season.
The hours of the evening opening
were from to $3.50. During these
hours music was furnished by the
