THEATRICAL SEASON
STARTS TONIGHT
1.-THE ROYAL CHEF" BRINGS MANY
SONG-HITS TO TOWN.

The theatrical season of 19OS-9
opens auspiciously in Norfolk with a
big musicalcomedy, the kind of
show Norfolk and northern Nebraska
like. "The Royal Chef" comes after
having made good in New York and
Chicago William II. Conley, the
comedian, is said to be not only a
very funny fellow, but a player with
voice and ability to act. There are
a big bunch of pretty chorus girls and
number of clever people to bring
the laugh. The stage is to be
filled with carload of special
scenery brought to town by the show.
Among the popular song hits which
will be sung are: O'Reilly, Let Me
Go Back, It's a Way They Have in
Chicago, When Old Glory floats From
Everywhere, Tale of Tailless Frog,
Maiden and the kissing Bug, The
Mythical Isle of Oolong, Old Mother
Goose, What Color Eyes Do You Love
Best? What's the Matter With My
Man in the Moon?, Tammany and
Love in Mango Tree.
The out of town demand for seats
has been brisk. There are several
hundred choice seats still available,
however, which ought to be filled in
case Norfolk cares to see good shows
this winter. The management is guar
anteeing this attraction on faith in
Norfolks desire to see good stuff in
the theatrical line. It's up to Norfolk
to say, by their support, whether or
not they want good shows in the fu-
ture.

THE K|NKA|DERS, A
NEW POLITICAL FORCE
FROM THE SECTION HOMESTEAD
COMES THE "klNKAlDERS."

To the aid of Congressman Knkaid
in his fight for denomination and re.
election to congress from the blk
sixth has come a new factor in west
Nebraska politics, the "kinkaiders."
The "kinkaiders" are a new force in
the west. They are the homesteaders
who have settled on section home
steads made possible by the Kinkaid
law. SO they call themselves "kin-
Raiders" after the Kinkaid homestead,
named in turn from the Kinkaid BILL
a name sake Of Congressman Kinkaid.
The "kinkaiders" accept their
name. 1t is sprinkled through every
western newspaper. Notices appear
calling the "kinkaiders" to meet for
county fair purposes, for this or that
reason, The kinkaider has pride in
his broad homestead.
1t takes no very discerning politi.
clan to figure out where the "liin.
kaider" stands on congressional poll.
tics He has a name in common with
his congressman and he has a section
homestead by grace of the Kinkaid
bill.
Senator Sibley would take the nom
ination from Kinkaid. Can he ever
break through the ranks of the kin
kaiders? Judge Westover on the
fusion side has congressional ambi-
lions. Again the kinkaiders from the
western prairies.
Congressman Kinkaid is the best
advertised man in west Nebraska.
His name is on every lip in the Sixth
district. That he will go back to
Washington is "the one best bet that
west Nebraska offers.
These Kinkaid homesteads which
dot the west are also said to be Re-
publican strongholds.

court for South Dakota on the charge

1t is expected his trial will take
place during the regular term of the

conscipcuous in the handling of re.
linquishments in the newly opened
territory.
Baker had as a partner during his
residence in South Dakota an individ-
ual named H. c. Wyatt, who is now
serving a term in a Missouri Jail for
an Offense similar to that charged
against Baker in this state. The prin-
cipal stock in trade of the two men
while in Gregory county was the fill

upon vacant lands, and in this way
they aggre gate many hundreds of
acres of rich prairie land
When opportunity offered they sold
the accomplishments to this land to

the actual settlers who were anxious
to occupy the region, and thus fleece
the actual settlers out of hundreds of
dollars for each quarter section, the
settlers being compelled to purchase
the ACCOMPLISHMENTS in order to secure
a clear homestead entry upon the
tracts covered by the soldiers declar-
atOry statements.
The two men became so bold in
their operations that the attention of
government officials was called to, the
matter with the result that an inves-
tigation was made and both men were
indicted. Wyatt was tried and con
victed several months ago. but Baker
succeeded in Guiding the officials I'M
til recently, when he was run down at
LawtOn.
Prior to departing for the south
Baker resided for a time on home
stead belonging to his brother and
settled near Herrick, one of the new
towns in the coded portion of the Rose

Sioux City Tribune: The Northwest
ern railroad, at The expense of thous.
ands of dollars, is remodelng its cafe
and observation cars. Two cars just
out of the shops arrived in Sioux city
yesterday and were put on the Sioux
city and Minneapolis run. Conductor
William Monte was never so proud
in the fOurty years or his service as
when he showed his new car yester-
day. Inventive genius has almost
doubled the space in the kitchen and
pantries of the new cars. Humidors,
chill boxes and provision lockers have
been added. A cellar beneath the
floor extends half the length of the
car. The walls and fittings are fin.
sawed oak The observation half Is
covered with a heavy Wilton carpet
and fitted with beautiful upholstered
furniture 1t is said these cars are
equal to any cars of the same type
on the trunk lines and are without
doubt the best ever seen in Sioux
City. S. NJ. Sorenson, who cared for
Governor Johnsons party on its trip
to the Democratic convention, is in
charge of Conductor Monte's car. The
revenues of the road under the law for
the year ending June 80, 1907, was
$1O,611,3 5969 from passenger fares.
this represents 1853, 1919 miles trav-
eled by passengers or the roads dur
ing the year. For the present year
under the twocent law, the receipts
were $7936,59912, indicating that 3G9-
S29,97O miles had been travelled. This
was an increase of 43,OOO,0O0 miles in
the distance travelled in the state. The
receipts of the road fell off materially,
but there was a greater amount Of
travel.

Thresher's Coffee Is Poisoned.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 25.-Special
to The News: Members of the Ben
Hughes threshing crew, now working
in Bon Homme county, and several
other men employed on the farm of
man named Kortan, were the victims
of a peculiar wholesale poisoning case.
Several of the men employed on the
place and four members of the thresh-
ing crew became seriously i'll after
partaking of a meal. A physician who
was summoned discovered that they
had been poisoned Two of the pois-
oned men had a narrow escape from
death. Just how they were poisoned
is a mystery, but the poison is sup
posed to have been in some coffee
which they drank. 1t is significant
that those who drank the most coffee
were in the most serious condition.
while those who did not touch the cof-
fee were not affected at all. Some
unknown enemy Of some of the men
may have deliberately placed poison
in the pot, or some poisonous bug may
have crawled into the coffee.
