Tomorrow is "Weed Cutting Day"
in Norfolk. An army of citizens, pos.
sessed of proper city pride, will sally

forests on vacant lots and to give an
additional touch of neatness to their
own yards. That is they will do this
if they approve the suggestion for
mally made by the mayor in naming
weed cutting day"
The object of the anti-week crusade
is to put Norfolk at its best when the
citys visitors come here this week
for the races.
81 would like to see every tree that
needs trimming, trimmed tomorrow
every yard given little additional
care and every weed patch slaugh
tered without mercy to give the city

IDLE NEW WORKERS
WOULD CONE WEST
CHARITY ORGANIZATION WRITES
TO MAYOR STURGEON.

The idle men of New York are look
ing westward to the Nebraska harvest
fields where an annual cry goes forth
for farm hands.
Mayor sturgeon has received the toll
lowing letter from the joint application
bureau of the Charity ORGANIZATION
Society of New York and the New
York Association for Improving the
Condition of the Poor, under date
line of last week from the bureau Of
fees at 1O5 EAST Twenty-Second
street, New York City:
81. ID. Sturgeon, Mayor, Norfolk,
Neb.-Dear Sir: | have learned that
there is a great demand for laborers
in your part of the country. Can
YOU suggest any way of arranging
| transportation for the idle men of
New York City to Nebraska? | un-
derstand that there are great many
farmers anxious to get help but are
unable to find any In Nebraska. or
course in large city like New York
it is extremely hard to find men
who have had experience on farm,
but if farmers would be willing to
take these men and teach them to do
farm work, they would be willing to
begin at very low wages.
1--WE have placed rs to 100 of these
unskiled men on New York state
farms this summer and as a general
thing they have been giving satisfac
ton.
81 realize that it would be very
hard to be sure of a mans going tc
Nebraska unless provided with an es
cort.
"If you can suggest any way of pro
viding transportation, l can furnish
all the men you can use in that par
of the country.
Respectfully yours,
Charles K. Blatchly,
superintendent"

Miss SinkuIar's Case.

The details of the charges which
the state is seeking to establish against
Miss Bessie Sinkular, the Herrick
milliner who is charged with start
ing the fire which burned up an en-
tire business block, are given as fol-
lows by the Herrick Press in its re-
port of the preliminary hearing:
One witness testified that Miss Sin
kular was at the Hotel Herrick the
night of the fire. That she left the
place twice a short time before the
fire and that the last time she was
seen on the walk leading to the alley
back of the buildings which were lat
ter burned. Another witness testified
to having seen tall woman near the
alley behind the building but would
not swear positively that the woman
was Miss Sinkular. Still another wit
ness testified to having seen her be
hind her own millinery store few
minutes before the fire. Another wit
ness testified that Miss Sinkular hat
removed most of her household fur
niture and a portion of her millinery
goods a short time before the fire, al
so that the value of her stock from
the judgment of an expert was from
5000 to $500 whereas it was insured
for 5000. A gasoline can found be
hind the millinery store after the fir'
was identified as the property of Mis-
Sinkular. This testimony togethe
with the nature of the fire at its star
and the fact that it did start in Mis-
Sinkular's millinery store, togethe
with number of cooperative dc
tails led the judge to believe that tn
woman should be held for hearin
in circuit court. Miss Sinkular wa
not placed on the stand to testify, he
attorneys thinking it best not to e1
pose their line of defense before tn
case is called in circuit court thi

between Ainsworth and Valentine and
the pointer on the A was for Valen-
tine.
1t was nine innings of spicy ball and

1t was a game that brought we'll
satisfied smile to the face of the most
critical fan. A close game was ex-
pected and the result was not dis
appointment.
Ainsworth has a fast bunch of ball
players and always puts up a good
article of ball. The home team also
knows the art of being fast and al.
ways play speedy ball. Much interest
was manifested in the game and a

Chrissy Went a Fishing.

West Point Republican: "Chrissy,"
the obliging and somewhat rotund
deputy county clerk, had the genuine
fisherman's luck Sunday. Four sun
fish were the sum total of his reward
for laboring and sweating along the
banks of McKirahan lake from sunup
to shutdown. That would have not
been so bad, but his tale of woe arose
in this wise: When ready to start
home he rowed across the lake to
get his companion, DR.. Thomson. In
stead of easing up on the oars as he
approached the bank, he kept In full
swing, hitting it in full force. The re-
suit was perfectly natural-the boat
turned turtle, rolling over with its
startled occupant just as suddenly and
as gracefully as you please. All
Thompson heard for few seconds
from under the upturned craft was a
succession of gurgles, indicating that
the submerged mariner was involun-
tarily quaffing a strange drink When
finally released, he presented a de-
cidedly moist appearance. Lake
water" says he, may be good for
bathing but as for beverage, 1t is
the worst ever.
