Over 800 Forge Men to Come.

From 300 to 400 blacksmiths, accord,
ing to the estimate made by local men
of the forge, will be in Norfolk this
month on February "a and % to at
tend the annual convention of the
state association Of the blacksmiths.

handling the convention.
The business sessions will be held in
the city hall. Headquarters will be
established at the Oxnard hotel.
The president of the state associa.
ton is John Edwards Of Hastings. at

Mustn't Dump Bodies in the Northforl
II. d. Willberger.

City officials, of Norfolk say that
they have started a campaign to pre-
vent the Northfork river being made
dumping place for the bodies OF
dead animals.
Gus Bathke was the first man to be
caught in the Northfork river drag net
and taken into police court. He was
charged with having let dead horse
remain in the mill pond about a mile
above the mill.
Bathke, who rented the ground for a
pasture for the town herd, explained
that the horse belonged to non
resident and that he found it in the
river October Is. He said that he
secured a team and tried to take it
out but fifteen foot bank made it
impossible.
In the course of the testimony one
witness said that he had seen a dead
hog close to the bank of the river.
Another witness swore that a bag of
dead kittends had been fished out of the
river near the Elkhorn bridge. The
body of the new born babe fished out
of the river by AL Johnson was not
mentioned. These facts, while not
exactly german to the case were
brought out to show the nature of the
abuse and aroused Judge Eiseley's
wrath.
Judge Eiseley fined Bathke So and
costs and ordered him to remove the
horse from the river If this was not
done the judge said he would fine him
$40.
The case was filed by Chief of
Police Peters and was prosecuted by
City Attorney NJ. c. Hazen. 1t was
announced that the case was brought
as warning against all who leave
dead bodies in or near the river. The
law is equally severe against those
who deliberately place the bodies of
animals in the rivers and those who
own the adjacent property and leave
the bodies there. While the case was
out of the city limits it was explained
that the city was interested in not
having the water in the river which
runs through Norfolk polluted.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
new fast mail contract which has been
awarded to the Great Northern did not
go into effect until Tuesday morning
the Hill line has been sending fast
trains on the mail schedule over the
line since the first of the month. This
was done to familiarize the crews with
the road and time schedule, and rail-
way men say that Notwithstanding the
strain everyone wants the run.
The engineer who has been pulling
a heavy passenger train over his divi-
sion, and has been transferred to the
new train, will now enjoy finishing his
days work in less time although he
will be under great strain while at
the throttle. The fireman who has
been forced to keep up steam on the
fast passenger service Of the road will
find that while his load is lighter to
haul the extra speed requires that he
keep his guage more even than ever
before. Always alert for this one train
is the train dispatcher, and woe be to
the crew that comes in late.
Great Northern men say that the
train will practically arrive and depart
on time in spite of the elements.
With each crew trained for its particu-
lar run it will require the most violent
of storms to interfere seriously with the
schedule.
Railroad men on the other lines de-
clare that the Great Northern will have
the hardest task it has ever assumed to
keep up better than 38-mile schedule
across country in all seasons.
The mail train goes east as the
second section of No. Q, each evening,
there being no such haste required for
east-bound mail as for that which comes
this way.

the amount which will be paid to
stockholders cannot be determined.

Gymnasium For Leavenw0rth

The old schoolhouse will soon be
moved 200 feet north of its present
location, across the county road. The
building has not been in use for some
time. The proposition has been made
to a number OF young men to change
the inside arrangements of the struc-
ture and use one room as a gymnasium,
putting in as complete an athletic
outfit as they care to pay for. The
other room on the first floor it is pro-
posed to turn over to the band for
them to arrange and furnish as they
please for a headquarters for the band.
1t is thought the athletic club and the
band boys will be glad to have the
free use of the shell, merely being to
the expense of fitting and furnishing.
The partition in the upper story
will be removed, transforming it into
an auditorium for large meetings, balls
and variety of uses which will sug-
gest themselves. The idea is to make
small charge for the use of this large
room for maintenance and care.
1t is the intention of the owners of
the property where the schoolhouse
now stands to convert the field into a
ball park. A high board fence will be
built from the county road to the G..
N. right of way, and other improve
ments will be made. The owners will
hold the ground number of years
without further change, so that the
town of Leavenworth may buy it for
park if it is ever considered advisable
to do so.

Honor to the Teacher

There has recently been erected in
Birmingham, Ala, statue by which
the city has honored both itself and
one of the great professions statue
of Mary A. Callahan, school teacher.
So far as is known, there are less than
dozen other statues of women in the
country-including those of Margaret
OF New Orleans" the Chippewa woman
in Chicago, Frances Willard in the
Capitol at Washington, Emma Samson,
a confederate war heroine, in Alabama,
Harriet Martineau in Wellesley. College,
Joan of Arc in Philadelphia, Sacajawea,
Lewis and Clark's Indian guide, in
Portland, Ore, and two of Hannah
Dustin in New England. 1t is proba-
BILE that Birmingham is the first city in
the world to erect a statute to woman
school teacher.
For thirty years Miss Callahan was
the principal of the Powell public
school. When she began her work
there, Birmingham was but village;
when she died last year it had become
the richest city in Alabama. During
those thirty years the boys who were to
become the leading business men of
the city, the girls who were to become
the wives of many of them, all passed
through her classes and were in
huenced by her personality.
Her entire life was devoted to edu-
cation in its best and deepest signif-
canoe; long before she died she was
known as the most popular and most
influential woman in that section OF the
state, and after her death rich and poor
alike joined eagerly in contributing to
the public subscription for the monu-
ment to her memory.
Not long ago there was overheard
upon a city street-car a significant bit
of conversation between two women,
the chief speaker of whom was her
self a teacher OF many years standing.
Whom is he going to marry?" she
asked concerning mutual acquain-
lance, and when the answer was given,
she exclaimed, Thank goodness it
isn't school-teacherl The longer l
work among them, the more l hate
the whole batch of them"
There could be no finer rebuke to
such a spirit than the life, of woman
like Miss Callahan, who found in her

Great Northern Appealed

The impression is prevalent that the
Great Northern is simply ignoring the
orders of the railroad commissioners
made on their recent tour of inspection.
Many inquiries are being received by
the commission as to why it does not
take steps to secure compliance with
its orders.
The Great Northern appealed from
and enjoined enforcement as to these
orders applicable to Leavenworth and
other places. Work on the new station
is therefore indefinitely postponed.

work, not monotony nor drudgery,
but one of the greatest opportunities
offered by life anywhere. 1t is good
to know that all over the country,
among the foreigners in our great
cities, in lonely country schoolhouses,
in high schools and colleges, are thou
sands of women working with the same
eagerness and devotion. Birmingham
has erected the first statue to woman
school teacher, but it will not be the
last.-Youth's Companion.

An unfortunate man is Dan De

affected, and he is in a destitute con-
dition. The city has for several weeks
been supplying him with necessities.
Mr.. belong has twice been examined
for insanity before the board OF county
commissioners, and each time has
convinced his interrogaters that his
mind was clearer than theirs! And
nothing further has been done about it.
Belongs case has been tentatively
discussed by the council and some ac-
ton may be taken soon. 1t is said he
has well-to-do relatives in Spokane. If
that is true. they should care for him.
