some indication that the council was
ready to tackle the matter of remov.
ing the limitation on the number of
saloons. BY an even vote the council
declined to do this at its last meet

Meanwhile the next regular meeting

interval to act on the eleven applica.

lock continues.
The eve of the drought brought ap.
parently no change in the situation.
Some expression of sentiment may
be asked from the business men.
Mayor Friday says that the issue is
not one of saloons, but of justice. His
position, he says, is against discrimin-
alton. He believes that no man should
be refused license without cause. 1t
is intimated that even if the compro-
mise ordinance stands there will be
quite material reduction in the num-
Der of saloons, although the number
may not drop below eight. Seven is
the limit in the present ordinance,
which Mayor Friday and four council.
men want repealed.
Did you hear that bang? That was
the lid going on. Did you hear that
click? That was the key turning in
the saloon door Monday night at IL
p. m. for the last time before the
drought.
Norfolk saloons were doing a big

Norfolk bank deposits have reached
the highest point in the history OF
the city. The total deposits in the
three national banks of the city now
amount to $1,559, 647.47. The govern
ment call for statements as to the con-
dition of banks on April %, 1909, has
brought forth three remarkably sub
stantial statements, each Norfolk bank
in fact issuing the best statement in
it's history in point of the size of
deposits and total footings. There is
more money deposited In every bank
in Norfolk than ever before in the
history Of the city.
Gain 100000 in Three Months.
The total deposits of Norfolk banks
show a gain of $152,S801S since the
last statement, February 5, 1909. This
represents, however, a gain of over
5000 900 in north Nebraska deposits,
as the national government has with
drawn $4,000 each from the Nebraska
National and the Norfolk National
since that statement. The government
since it has been running short of
POUNDS has been calling in its cash. At
present there is only $4,000 of Uncle
Sans own money in each of the two
Norfolk depositaries.
Recovery From the Panic.

shows the recovery from the affects of

A Service Wedding.

A pretty wedding took place on the
afternoon of Saturday, January 2, at
the home of Mrs. Henry L. Dodge, on
Franklin street, San Francisco, when
Miss Jennie Phinney, of Montpelier,
VT, became the bride of Lieut.. Robert
Burns Farquharson, USING. Lieuten-
ant Farquharson was among the officers
ordered to sail for Honolulu on the
Buffalo, leaving San Francisco on Jan
uary 5, and the details of the wedding
were accordingly hastily arranged, the
bride arriving from her Eastern home
only the day preceding. Notwithstand-
ing this, however, the details were per.
feet and the wedding took place in the
drawing room Of the Dodge home, which
had been most beautifully decorated
with poinsettias. The bride, who was
unattended, wore a handsome gown of
white satin. Lieut.. L. P Pinkston was
the best man, and the marriage service
was read by the Rev. Edward Morgan,
large number of the intimate friends
and relatives of the couple being pres
ent. Lieutenant Farquharson and his

Criticize Navy Men.
WASHINGTON, January 21.-Stric-
lures upon the efficiency of officers of
the Navy in the care of machinery of
war vessels were uttered in the House
today during the consideration of the
naval appropriation bill, with the re-
suit that an amendment was adopted
| requiring the Secretary of the Navy to
annually report to Congress those in
stances where more than 100000 is
expended for repairs.
An amendment offered by Represen.
tative Fitzgerald seeking to give prefer
enee to those employees at navy yards
and naval stations who have been dis
charged because of lack of funds or
lack of work was adopted.
Representative Tawney of Minnesota
objected to the appropriation of $780,
| 600 toward digging an entrance chan
| mel for the naval station at Pearl Har-
Dor, Hawaii, and questioned the pro-
priety of opening the channel before
the naval station has been constructed.
| Foss admitted that no work has actual
| ly been done on the building of the
naval station. Representative Fitzger-
aid declared it unwise to appropriate
further money for the Pearl Harbor
work until the Navy Department has
| used the 81, 100000 that had been pre-.
vionsly appropriated.
The provision appropriating $150,00O
| for completing the marine barracks at

Major Winslow in a few words saying
that the people here would, he felt sure,
be glad to render any assistance that
Major Winslow might need, and that
they were glad of the opportunity to
meet him.
Major Winslow, in reply, said that his
immediate work here was directly con-
,cerned with the breakwater. He ad-
vised the citizens of Hawaii, in case
they needed any additional appropria-
tons from Congress for other improve
ments, to get together and work for
them, and keep ON working till they
succeeded.
