There has been no change reported
by the physicians of the cholera NOR
bus epidemic which has confined to
their beds many people in Norfolk
There have, however, been no new
cases reported, and 1t is now hoped
the disease will rapidly disappear.
Rev. Mr.. Brandt, who for fourteen
years was pastor of the Lutheran
church of Stanton and who last Sun
day dedicated the new German church
northeast of Stanton, left yesterday
for Neilsville, Wis, where he will be
pastor of a German Lutheran church.
Mr.. Brandt is we'll known around Nor
folk and Stanton, and 1t is with much
regret the congregations of all Ger
man churches of the surrounding
country see him go.
Ray Anderson, cook in the Mer-
chants cafe. suffered from fainting
spell at noon and Is in a dangerous
condition. Anderson has for the
past week been complaining of feeling
i'll and has had dizzy spells at times.
Friday morning, while at work, he fell
to the floor of the kitchen and imme-
diately went into spasms. The physi-
clans say it is probably brought on
from late hours which Anderson has
been keeping, and also from excessive
cigarette smoking.
Word has been received by officers
of the local company Of National
guard from Captain Anderson, at
sharpshooters OF the militia.

TRAILING A SUGAR CROOK
How One of Collector LOeb's SleuthS
Captured n Very shady
WeiRher.

An interesting story apropos OF the thor
ough and complete house cleaning Collector
Loeb is engaged in at the New York custom
house and its branches was told the Other
night in a certain select coterie In Broad
way. For months the most exuberant, best
dressed and most liberal spender among
the rather blase and cosmopolitan crowd
that gathers about the latest Of the most
popular resorts on the Thoroughfare has
been a tall, we'll built man, with a gray
mUstache and q coal of ancient tan that
tells either of tropical experience or many
days at sea. Who he is or where he came
from 70 one inquired. Large wads OF
yellow-backed bills and a general loosen
ing up" disposition duieted all disposition
toward investigation.
Modest references to military affairs led
to the bestowal Of the designation cap
tain and by that he was known. He
gained the respect Of manager and cashier,
the good will of b~artenders and tho sd
miratlon and affection Of walters.
One evening last week, as the captain
was the center Of an admlring crowd to
whom he was easily but with evident IA
miliarity eiscoursing on the tariff and its
intricacies, a man clad in the dungarees
and cap OF a longshoreman, evidently in a
jovial mood. but not intoxicated. strollsd
past the group, passed to the further end
Of the bar and asked for a glass of beer.
This class of custom is unusual in this
resort, and the bartender raised his eye
brows at the manager. who stood nearby.
There was about the newcomer also a
peculiar odor OF the docks that is associated
with the sickening tropical smell of raw
sugar.
Tn man was so orderly IN manner, how
ever. that the manag nodded and the
queer customer was served. He stood for
some time contemplatively gazing at the
group, where the Captain" was holding
forth in low, gentlemsnly tones, and he
closed his argument and the group turned
toward the bar with murmurs of comments
the 'longshoreman strolled dOwn the bar
and, turning, grasped the wrist Of the
Captain" in q grip OF steel. The latter
turned, twisted and raised his arm as IL
TO strike the intruder, then turned white
and crimson as his name and the one word
Sugar was spoken lowly to him.
In the meantime the "Captain's' COM
panions had crowded around with hostile
remarks and still more hostile gestures,
when the 'longshoreman, drawing his mar
back, threw open the front Of his Jumper
and upon a silken suspender flashed forth
the golden badge OF the Central office to
the gaze OF the men, some Of whom had
seen II before.
There we're no more words. With a nom
ehalent, See you later, boys" the Cap
tain passed out with his companion. They
are wondering yet what his name and po-
sition were.

that he was a United states weigher whom

useful idea aroused a storm OF opposition,

All Of which shows that much depends on
the point OF view. But, as the parents rep
