Solitude

r-rr?-r+T%

Under the stars the hunter stands. While the barren bleak and white. Wilds of the frozen northland stretch With their ghostly chilling light, And the moaning wind through the
 tall gaunt pines
 Makes more ghastly still the night. On the distant ridge the grey wolf
 howls
 His wierd and discordant cry Pierces the night like that of d soul That is damned and is doomed to
 die. And God has forgotten it's only hope. And life is one living lie. We shudder while missing the pie
 ture OCT
 Tn our warm and sheltered life. And wonder why He made this lonely Where the cold white death runs
 rife, And the primal law of survival means But a savage and constant strife. And we marvel again that human
 heart,
 And the warm red blood within Does not yearn for the touch of q
 human hand.
 And the passions of love and sin, The lust for gold and the fight for
 power
 That are found mid the cities din. Perhaps he too has lived 'mongst his
 fellowmen,
 Where deceit and hypocrisy lie. Hid meath mask of religion and
 truth,
 The straight glance of an honest @
 eye, And seen his treasured trust in the
 honor of men
 Like rose petals wither and die. And perhaps he has given his hearts
 great love
 To a woman as sweet and fair, As her heart is false and whose red lips lie
 As she stretches her devilish snare For the one who of gold has the greatest store
 Who will give her the lions share Perhaps he has taken his wounded heart
 Far from the haunts of man To Gods wild land where nature pure Is the same since the world began, And hypocrisy vile with its blighting hand
 Has not spread forth its sickening ban. Then let us not pity his solitude there His lonely and thankless days Will pass in the glow of a roseate dawn
 When the Great Lord of Kindness says Come Unto Me" and his weary soul The great joy of Heaven repays.

VICIOUS ASSAULT
 ON COLORED WOMAN
Ford Smith, a White Man, Severely
 Stabbed Malinda Curtis.

A white man by the name of Ford Smith is in the county jail pending the development of the results of an assault committed on Melinda Curtis,
 negro woman of middle age. in the alley in the rear of the Yellowstone
 saloon yesterday morning about II
 o'clock. Ford stabbed the woman in
 the side quite severely though it Is
 not believed she is in any danger un-
 less blood poison should follow. The
 weapon used was a pocket knife
 which was wielded at the conclusion of a passage of verbal compliments which it is understood the man be-
 gan, assuming that as she was only
 a harmless colored woman he could
 impose upon her. When he became
 angered at her retOrts he assailed her
 with tine knife.
 Melinda lives in apartments on the
 alley between First and Second and
 Adams and Monroe streets and among
 her accomplishments she is said to be skilled in culinary art. She was gO-
 ing through the alley in the rear of >the saloon with eatables for Bob Hudson, a colored man who Is i'll, when she met Smith. The exact col loquy that followed is reported diff ferently by the two principals, but few things are certain. Among them is the fact that Melinda is an inof- fensive person and carried no wea- pons She is well known to the po- lice and almost everybody else in the central part of the town and it would be hard to make anybody believe that Smith was forced to resort to the use of a weapon in his own defense. His contention is that he was insulted and believed his dignity demanded that the insult should be wiped out in blood.
 At any rate the blade of the pocket knife was driven into her side as far as it would go. making an external wound Of an inch or two, and the cries of the woman soon brought Of ficers Troutman and Gasllin to her assistance. In the meantime an em- plOye of the Yellowstone had arrived and following the retreating Smith. caught him in the alley and turned | him over to the officers. He was taken to the city jail at first and l later in the day transferred to the | county jail. Melinda was taken to | the city hall and Dr. Tafel was call | ed to attend her As soon as her | wounds were dressed she was taken | to her own apartments. Unless Smith | can find a better story than those in last night. he will have hard work to justify his conduct.

unpackina Christmas Goods.

Norfolk merchants are busy unpack-
ing their holiday goods and from what
one may learn from an occasional look
behind the scenes, this years display
will be the best and largest in point of
variety ever known here. The mer-
chants, although there has been some
talk as to the corn show at Omaha
taking trade, believe that Norfolk peo-
pie will do the right thing and give
the home fellow a chance. There is
no doubt temptation for the person
visiting the city to make his purchases
while there from the variety advan-
tageously displayed. There are prob
| ably bargains to be had in the city,
but it takes an experienced shopper
to know them and it takes very wise
| buyer to do better in the city than he
! can do in his home town. 1t is surely
known here that none can hope to do
better in Omaha during the corn show,
or at any time before the holidays than
he can do at home.
1t is known mere of many Norfolk
people who have purchased articles in
| Omaha because the display in the
store window or on the counter caught
their eye, only to find later that they
could have purchased the same goods
in their own city for less money and
saved the trouble of carrying the goods
home, or added expense of transporta
tion.
There should be covenant between
the buyer and the merchants whereby
the former buys his holiday goods al
home, the latter giving maximum val
ues. There is nothing so disagreeable
as the many endless steps of walking
back and forth through the jam and
the crush of the big metropolitan de
partment stores during the days be
fore holidays, thrown among every ma
tionality on earth-a place where you
can recognize no one, wait a Ions
time and get a snapry reply to youI
inquiries by the girl behind the crowd
ed bargain counter. Those who dc
their shopping at home can do it will
a great deal more of comfort.

But II is doubtful whether the council
will allow themselves to be led into
taking part in a newspaper row. The
council really has something else to
do than to take up the cudgel of one
newspaper man toward another, pol
icy that If applied to all the petty
rows in town would soon involve the
individual members of the council In
a mighty big peck of trouble. The BIZ
cycle ordinance that has stood on the
books of this city for years has proven
very satisfactory, no harm has come
from it and there has not been one
single complaint until the newspaper
man aforesaid thought he saw way
to injure another. Unless the council
is composed of men of much smaller
callbre than is believed, that body will
promptly convey the proposed ordi-
nance to the waste basket with tongs
when presented, as they would any
other proposition that has a bad look
and a worse smell.

Hard coal In Norfolk Is higher In
price today than It has been in a mum.
ber of years. The price was boosted
Friday morning from $l050 to $l1 per
ton, all dealers agreeing to put up the
price simultaneously. BY way of ex.
planatlon the dealers point to the
fact that Omaha dealers raised the
price from $l0.50 to $ll Wednesday,
and the local men say this move at
Omaha suggested the increase here.
1--WE have been selling hard coal
too cheap" a dealer said, "and so,
having the increase in price suggested
by the Omaha raise, we showed the
price up so cents. 1t costs Norfolk
dealers so cents ton more than
Omaha dealers, on account of the
freight, so we're still so cents under
Omaha, freight considered"
One coal dealer estimates that about
5000 tons of hard coal are used in
Norfolk during the winter, which would
make net increase of $1,000 to be
paid for coal at the new price.
Concerning the increase in Omaha,
the Omaha Bee says:
Hard coal is higher in Omaha today
than II has been at any time during
the last four years, the price having
been raised, Wednesday morning, from
$10.50 to $11 ton. Coal dealers as
sert that the rise in the price of coal
is not caused by the switchmen's S
strike, but Is simply the regular win.
ter raise.
"We have kept the price at $10.50
until everyone has had an opportunity
to lay in their winters supply and now
we are making the regular winter
raise" said c. w. Hull.
The highest point reached by hard
coal last winter was $1,000 ton, and
there it was allowed to remain not
being reduced during the summer as
is usually the case. The price stayed
the same all summer and now that the
regular raise of 80 cents ton is put
into effect it makes the price higher
than it has been for four years.
Soft coal was boosted some time
ago. The only concession the Goa
men made this summer was in the
extension of the time when the coal
might be paid for Instead of reducing
the price the dealers allowed the con
sumer to lay in their winters supply
and then pay for it during the winter
The coal dealers found reason fol
advancing the price of soft and semi
anthracite some time ago when few
mines down in Arkansas were closed
for some local cause or other.
Lumber is also likely to take raise
assert some of the dealers. About Al
per cent of the lumber for eastern Ne
braska comes from the north anC
northwest and as the Hill lines are
affected it is thought the price of lum
ber will be boosted up little, because
of the switchmen's strike.

Police Judge Eiseley comes right
back at Night officer O'Brien, who
recently replied to statements made
by Judge Eiseley in court. Judge
Eiseley in his statement says that
O'Brien refused to Jail woman whom
the Judge ordered jailed. This is the
statement:
Norfolk, Neb, Dec. 2.-Editor News:
The mountain labored and brought
forth mouse. Night officer O'Brien's
communication in The News of the

not for one or two mistakes therein.
Night officer O'Brien finds fault with
a certain statement | made on GER
tain occasion, to-wit: that certain per-
sons residing in the east part of the
city "have had too much police pro-
lection"
| No more proof to corroborate that
statement is required than the action
on a certain occasion on the night
of November 90 by O'Brien. On that
! date at 8 p. m, George Fox upon
oath signed a warrant charging three
inmates in one house in said district

horse instead. He also had two loose
teeth and was bleeding. | placed the

the night in Jail and in the meantime
