Bancroft at Heidelberg proved so handy with all sorts of weapons as to distance all competitors save one. a young Englishman named Horcut. The two held the record for being the best swordsmen at the university. and there was a desire among the students that they should fight for the cham pionship. Bancroft made no objec- ton to friendly encounter, the vital parts of each disputant being covered according to the corps rules. But in truth he did not relish even a friendly fight with the Englishman. who was an avowed hater of Americans.
 When the terms of the fight for the championship came to be arranged Horcut insisted on certain innovations rendering the affair dangerous It was suspected by few that he considered Bancroft the better swordsman and, judging him to be timid wished to force him to decline the combat This would give Horcut the championship without fighting for it or riSkir~ to lose it. He would then return to Eng land to enjoy his honors.
 Whether or no this was his object, It was accomplished. Bancroft de- clined to fight except under the rules for friendly contests. Horcut accused him of cowardice, and there was now nothing for him to do but challenge the Britisher to an unprotected" fight or be cut by the members of his corps. He declined to fight either for the championship or to vindicate his courage, but he wrote his mother the facts and begged her to release him. She declined to do so. Besides. friends at home assured him that she was in critical physical condition and if anything happened to him 1t would tnl her.
 Bancroft neither cared to give his true reason for not fighting nor be- lieved that it would be accepted. It would have been accepted and he would have been respected for it if he could have satisfied the students of Its truth. In no country in the world are parents more beloved and respect eu than Tn Germany. But to convince couple of thousand of young men that he was not hiding behind his mothers skirts was out of the unes- ton.
 So Bancroft finished his university career a cut man, though he was burn ing to meet his adversary. When he went home to Virginia, finding that the story had preceded him and prej- udiced some people against him, he went to the farther west and engaged Tn sheep raising. Soon after this his mother died.
 Several years passed. One day Ban croft was treading his way on path barely foot wide around the side of a precipice. While doing so he saw a party of tourists coming. Persons meeting on the path must pass care fully, the one taking the outside, the other the inside. Bancroft was ex- Pecting to take the outside when sud denly he recognized in the leading

A Unique VindiCation.

lOriginall
 When Evan Bancroft. a young vir- ginian, went to study at the Univer- sity of Heidelberg he promised his mother that he would never fight a duel. But Bancroft did not consider it necessary to refrain from joining the fighting corps and engaging in harm. less encounters. Indeed, there was plenty of fighting material in him in- herited from his progenitors. and this was why his mother had exacted the promise. Her father had been killed in duel, one of her brothers through reckless exposure in the civil war, while another had been shot attempt Ing to defend prisoner from a mob. These shafts of death. striking so near her, caused her to brood and induced fear that her only son should fall through q similar cause

Tan in the line of tourists his old enemy at the university. He was also recognized
 "Wait there," said Horcut, pointing to place where the path widened a little. ''I pass inside" He spoke with his old domineering tone. Ban croft stepped to the spot indicated, saying as he did so:
 "I pass inside.'
 You pass outside, l say" growled Horcut remembering that Bancroft was n coward.
 Are you armed?' asked Bancroft Qnietly.
 "No."
 Bancroft took revolver from his hip and flung it over the precipice. It struck 300 feet below.
 What do you propose?" asked Hor- cut. blanching.
 ITO settle feud of long standing. We are about the same build Let one of us throw the other over. If l am victorious l will pass inside the rest of your party"
 Horcut stood aghast. My God, man, thet would be certain death for both of us.'
 Tt would prove us both brave men" But
 "We are keeping your friends wait ing."
 The friends were as terrified as the principals. ThS begged Horcut not to accept such fearful challenge.
 ''Do-do I understand" faltered Hor- cnt. that you will pass inside those behind me?"
 That is my intention"
 And you will permit me to pass you on the outside in safety?"
 You have only the word of a cow ard for that"
 Horcut consented with a hanging head. and the passage was made. Some of the tourlsts-one had been a student at Heidelberg during Ban cToft's disgrace-returned to Europe, and the story got to the university. Bancroft was invited there and when be went was enthusiastically greeted. When he told of his pledge to his mother he received an ovation.

Y. w. Of this state, and his record In
that position is absolutely without
flaw. SO well does he stand in the
order that the last time he was chos-
on to the position he now holds, his
election was practically unanimous
and the grand lodge added a substan-

show its appreciation of his worth to
the order.
No man ever stood closer to great
body of men than Mr.. Barton does to
the 10000 Workmen in this state, with
whom he comes in contact in a bust
ness way every month. EXacting In
his requirements as to the manner in
which reports shall reach him, he has
won the admiration Of ev,n those
men whom he has been obliged to ask
to correct inaccuracies, while the
membership at large feels that he is
looking after their interests in such
manner as to prevent possible
trouble in the future. Strict In his
business methods, yet affable and gen.
ial, he is highly regarded and well
liked by all.
Nor are his admirers confined to
the ranks of Workmanship. He has
broad acquaintance throughout the
state, and he numbers as friend
practically every man who knows
him Knowing him intimately for a
number OF years, the writer believes
he will make a spectacular showing

license, without increasing the natur-

ultimate things in order to play even
on the increased license. Much Of
the corruption in saloons has come
from just such conditions.
Many people agree with Mayor Stur-
geon that the number should he re.

The greatest work toward prohibi.

it is not to be supposed for moment
that the five rejected properties would

good authority that from some of

STATE REPRESENTATIVE.

While it is perhaps early to make
announcements Of candidates for
county officers, yet the activity of the
Newman Grove Reporter in promoting
candidates for state representative,
calls for the announcement of any
others who may have ambitions along
these lines before the Reporter sue
ceeds in closing the nominations in
both parties.
The Reporter first announces that
Lew j. Young, a Bryan democrat Of
Newman Grove, will be the demo-
cratic candidate, and then a week or
so later the same paper attempts to
find man satisfactory to the republi-
cans. 1t is announced that T. Alder
son, the present representative, will
not again be a candidate, and from in
formation gained through other sour
ces, this seems to be true. In its mis-.
sion of fixing the republican ticket to
its satisfaction, the Reporter pro-
ceeds to place the name of c. A. Smith
of Tilden and VIM. Mcintosh of Emer-
ick in the field. Mr.. Smith resents
the unauthorized use of his name, and
says that he is neither a candidate nor
has any intention of being one. Mr.. Nc
Intosh has not been seen direct, but
his friends say that it is highly i'm
probable that he will consent to make
race for the nomination, as he is
too busy man with his great farm
and stock interests, to engage in the
political game.
To help the Reporter out of its
dilemma then, The News will place
the name of Geo. N. Beels OF Norfolk
before the people OF Madison county
as fit person for the republicans to
send to the legislature. For twenty
two years Norfolk has not furnished
the representative from Madison coun-
ty in the state legislature, and fairness
would concede the place to this city
this year if we want it. And we want

THB LICENSE PROTESTS.

From the action taken by a local
committee OF the w. C. T. U. in filing
circumstances against every appli-
cant for a saloon liquor license in
the city, it would appear to be the
aim of the reformers to make Norfolk
a prohibition town.
Regardless of theories as to prohi-
bition, any studied thought of the
local situation must bring the inev-
table conclusion that Norfolk Is no
community in which to try out abso-
lutte prohibition. That any such at
tempt, if successful, must work havoc
nifty, is the pretty unanimous opinion
of the business interests.
That there are badly conducted sa-
looms is conceded. That there are
men to whom no license for operating
saloons should be granted, is equally
true. But that liquor is going to be
consumed and sold in Norfolk, prohi-
bition or no prohibition, and that there
is a large element Of people in and
tributary to this city who demand a
licensed, legal place where they can
obtain their moderate beverages-the
taking of which they consider their
own private business-is also general
ly admitted.
Norfolk is too liberal a town, toe
cosmopolitan a town to allow the
radical theories OF any one set of in
diyiduals to rule the entire commu
nifty.
That the w. C. T. U. would have
had support in protesting against
granting licenses to certain individ
uals, is apparent. But that they have
lost sympathy for their cause by re
monstrating against every applicant II
Norfolk, some of whom are just as
clean and just as respectable as any
saloon men who could be found any
where, can not for a moment be con
tradicted.
