A Norfolk man will be prominent
figure in the meeting of the grand
lodge of the Sons of Herman at
Grand Island next week August
Brummund is one of the state trus-
tees of the order He will be up for
reelection at the Grand Island meet
ing.
August Brummund has lived in Nor
folk for thirty-eight years. He came
here before the mill, the completion
of which marks the beginning of Nor
folks active career as a village, was
finished. He has been an active fig
ure in democratic politics.
No man in Norfolk has served on
the city council more years than Mr..
Brummund. Only one man, ex-Coun-
Gilman John Spellman, has equalled
his record. But one man, President
Julius Degner of the present council,
has any immediate prospect of equal
ing it.
Mr. Brummund is a grand trustee
of the Sons Of Herman lodge In Ne.
braska. He has been a state officer
of this typical German lodge for three
years.
Last Wednesday August Brummund
completed three years of public ser
vice as water commissioner. In this
city Office he has left record of
which he can be proud. He put the
water department of Norfolk on a
cash basis. He ran the business more
carefully than many private business
ventures on Norfolk avenue.
Mr. Brummund has spent virtually
all Of his mature years in this vi.
entity. He came to Norfolk in 1869
thirty-eight years ago. He has lived
here ever since. Norfolk was agreen
hamlet when he arrived
August Brummund was born in
Pommern, Germany, on February G.
1S4S. Like many of Norfolks most
valued citizens he came to Norfolk by
way of Wisconsin. In Germany he
learned the cabinet trade. This has
been his trade in Norfolk, where he
has a reputation as a skilled carpen-
ter.
From New York City the young
German went direct to Wisconsin,
where he had relatives. The next
spring he came to Norfolk, arriving
here April u, 1870 From Fremont,
the railroad terminal, he completed
his journey on foot.
Here he entered at once into the
carpenter trade. He helped complete
the mill, working for Herman Gerecke.
The old Norfolk House represented
Mr.. Brummund's first experience as
contractor. This was the first real
hotel put up in Norfolk and was con

DOWNWARD PRICES
In Stocks Monday and Tuesday
Caused BY Reckless Operations
On Short Side of Market.

New York, Feb. 13.--The early
stock market today presented graphic
evidence that an important proportion
OF the conspicuous selling which car
ried prices downward Monday and
Tuesday must have been rather reck-
less operations on the short side OF
the market. When those sellers felt
inpelled to cover their contracts to-
cay they found a scarcity of stocks
offering and rather a mercurial UNI
shoot Of prices resulted. Almost
equally striking was the relaxed tone
OF the market when the needs of un-
covered bears had been satisfied. The
inference pointed to is that while the
genuine demand for stocks for the
present is light, the supply yof offer
ings in liquidation is also scanty.
With this exception there does not
appear any important selling such as
would suggest a general inclination
amongst owners to reduce their hold
iEgs of stocks. Very positive asser-
lions on Monday that the Union and
Southern Pacific dividends would be
reduced accompanied free selling OF
these stocks. A declaration of diyi-
dends on these stocks today at I'M
changed rates accordingly caught an
important short interest uncovered
and they were foremost in the adj
yancing tendency not a great deal
OF activity characterized the rise and
a subsequent sag was preceded by a
period of hesitation and dullness. I'm
settling factors were the pressure on
American Smelling and violent breaks
in several Gould stocks with no APP
parent support The days develop
ments bearing on the general situa-
ton were not important. A fall in
the price of copper both here and in
London was an incident of the day
that did not conduct 10 holding prices
of securities. There was no revival OF
strength in the later stock market.
