Own Weather Prophet

Washington, Jan. Americans will
be truly weatherwise after Professor
Willis L. Moore, chief of the weather
bureau, establishes kiosks upon the
stress sheltering thermometers, ba-
rometers and other weather-recording
struments. 1t is planned to scatter the
booths throughout some of the large
cities, at convenient points upon the
principal streets and in the parks, so
that he people will acquire the habit
of making their own weather readings.
1t has long been the habit of most
persons to reject the figures of the
weather bureau during particularly hot
or cold seasons because it's thermom-
eters are placed on high, breezy build
ings or protected from the biting biz
yards. Thermometers Of uncertain sci
entific value have been readily taken
as the criterion of heat and cold, with
the result that the masses do not real
ize the value of accurate figures and
have to get their ideas of temperature
through unreliable sources.

poStomce:
New City Directory.

Seldom can a directory man go
into town and receive praise for his
work from all the papers in that town.
No matter how good the work may be
it is usual that at least one paper will
be jealous or spiteful enough at the
Office which furnishes the mechanical
part to find something to criticize.
But Frank S. Robinson, who has just
finished directory at Kearney, seems
to have pleased all the papers with
his work The Kearney Democrat, the
last of the three Kearney papers to
mention the directory, says:
"Kearney has a new city directory
which has been compiled and pub
lished by Frank S. Robinson, and it is
just the most complete directory ever
gotten out in this city. The book con-
tains all the useful information about
churches, lodges, societies and city
officials names. The directory is a
credit to Mr.. Robinson's efforts and
The Democrat recommends him to 9TH
er cities where he may contemplate
compiling directories. He is a very
pleasing young gentleman, careful in
his work and honest in his efforts"
Mr.. and Mrs. Robinson arrived in
Norfolk Friday night and the work of
compiling directory for this city will
be begun at once.

MASHED THE JAIL WINDOWS
Then Chris Hundt of Battle Creek
Went to the County Jail.

Then Chris Hundt OF Battle Greek
Went to the County Jail.
The reign of law doesn't stop at the
Jail door,
A man in Jail can be arrested for
fighting, for being drunk, for murder
The fact that a man is already under
arrest doesn't prevent him from being
put still further under arrest.
This fact Chris Hundt of Battle
Creek, now in the Madison county
Jail for twenty days, has discovered.
Hundt who has been working about
Battle Creek, was arrested. He had
light sentence in view, but he was
mad. He broke out every one of the
nineteen windows in the Battle Creek
Jail.
SO he was charged with the mali
cious destruction of property. TWEEN
ty days at Madison was what he drew
for the window smashing. He was
taken over to Madison Thursday after
noon.
This isn't Hundt's first experience
in the county Jail. A year ago he was
arrested for stabbing a man in the
jaw. 1t was in Battle Creek saloon
fight. Hundt broke off his knife in
another mans jaw. Physicians ex-
tracted the knife blade while Hundt
was hustled over to Madison. He was
fined 800.

DOME OF WHITE HOUSE VISIBLE
Trainmaster Mount Saw a Distinct II.
fusion Thursday Morning.

fusion thursday moTning'
Thursday morning the dome of the
white house was outlined in the east
ern sky.
Does it mean that the white house
is coming westward? Does the fact
that the outline of the white house
dome discerned in Norfolk foreshad-
ows the election of a Nebraskan to
the presidency? Did destiny show her
hand Thursday mornin? Did the sign
in the morning sky read Bryan's way
clear to Washington?
Or was it simply hint that William
Us white house dreams are mere H.
lusions, frosty morning visions?
The Norfolk man who saw the white
house dome outlined in the eastern
sky was Trainmaster E. o. Mount. 1t
was just as the sun broke above the
clouds. What particularly impressed
Mr.. Mount was the peculiar dome-like
shape that the sun took on in the
cloud-wrapped sky. The lower part
of the dome was, moreover, sketched
in the clouds.
Mr.. Mounts evidence is of course
authoritative.
Not being politician Mr.. Mount
was only impressed with the beauty
Of the scene, which he says he can
not find words to portray.
But Norfolk politicians will want to
know what the. Washington cupola
means by chasing around in Nebras-
ka. What does it mean anyway?
