Peters and the various foremen of the
different fire companies While in
spection of nues and Easements will
be one of the objects, the main OBJ
ject Is to familiari2e the foremen and
fire officials with the basement and
general arrangements of all the Nor
folk avenue buildings so that they
will be better equipped to fight any
fire which should break out in a big
building. To fight fire in building
about which the tiremen are ignorant
is rather slow task. BY knowing the
internal arrangement of the base
ment, where most fires originate the
hremen can get quickly to the spot.
The inspection will be made in q
short time
Many Norfolk people have been un-
able to understand why Judge M. B.
Reese of Lircoln and not Judge
Barnes of Norfolk is to be chief JUS
tice of the supreme court Judge,
Barnes having been at the head of the:
court during the past year. The SUI
preme court was changed by con-
stitutional amendment last month. IL
now has seven instead of three
Judges. In 1909 three judges will be
elected for term of six years. In
1911 three judges will be elected for
term of six years. Then in 1913
chief justice will be elected to serve.
for six years, thus making the office
OF chief justice an elective one. The
amendment also provides that the SUI
preme judge whose term expires
when the first elected chief Justice
takes Office in January 1914 shall be
chief justice until that time, thus
giving the chief justiceship to Judge
Reese, who was elected in 1907. While
in point of continuous service Judge
Barnes has served longer than any
OF the other judges, Judge Reese has
been on the supreme bench before and
therefore has already seven years of
service to his credit.

Predicts New Road.

Burton Independent; Now as rail-
road news are once more in the air,
and other papers, as you see, boasting
in their section of the country, the
Independent can give you a bit of in.
formation that will be of interest to
the residents of this and adjoining
counties.
We have it by good authority, that
by March |, 1909, the Burlington Ry.
Co. will begin the construction of a
road from Erickson, Neb, to be built
through Keya Paha and Trip coun
ties to the northwest The proposed
new road will cross the North
Western either at Stuart or Atkinson
asd go northwest to the Niobrara
river, crossing at point near Haugh-
ems bridge. 1t will take a northwest
erly course and pass through Burton,
the coming metropolis of Keya Paha
county, and through the rich German
settlement that lies to the northwest
of Burton. 1t will cross the Keya
Paha river, passing through the propos-
ed new townste north of Kenaston's,
then on through Tripp and Meyes
counties. Just where this new road
will terminate, we are unable to state
at this time, but presume it will con-
meet with the Northern Pacific, far to
the north, in order to get more
direct route from Omaha to the west.
The editor of the Independent has
been in possession of these facts
since last August, having been in
formed of the proposition by one of
the promoters of the new road, but
was not aware that the road would be
under construction by March 1, un.
til just recently.

Cold Shoulder For Negroes.

Ray Stannard Baker begins reporting
the northern negro in the February Amer
lean magazine. What he says about Bos-
ton, the old abolition center, is inter-
esting:
in Boston, Of all places, 1 expected
to find much of the old sentiment 1t
does exist among some of the older men
and women but was surprised at the
general attitude which l encountersd 1t
was one of hesitation and withdrawal.
Summed up, l think the feeling or the
better class of people in Boston (and
elsewhere in northern cities) might be
thus stated:
1--WE have helped the negro to liberty;
we have helped to educate him; we have
encouraged him to stand on his own feet
Now let's see what he can do for himself
After all, he must survive or perish by
his own efforts.
I'm short, they have cast the bantling
on the rocks
Though they still preserve the form OF
encouraging the negro, the spirit seems
to have fled Not long ago the negroes OF
Boston organized concert at which Theo-
dore Drury, a colored musician Of really
notable accomplishments, was to appear
