On the Stage; Age Four Months.

The 4-months-old baby of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Barneke, living at 313
Braasch avenue, may grow up to be a
great actor. Anyway, the child has
begun it's stage career early in life.
The Barneke baby was THE Heir to
the Hoorah,'' in the Ernest Fisher
stock company's play of that name
last night. The child was brought out
on the stage in the arms Of Mr.. Fisher
and held up to the admiring gaze of
his miner friends in the play. OF
course, the baby was something of a
minor, itself, so the part was not IL
logical.
The baby was good" for a few min
utes on the stage and then came a
scare from a big, heavy voice-and
real weeping from real live lungs. The
baby in the play is supposed to be but
few days old.
The babes parents sat in the par
quet till the baby's cue came. Then
they enjoyed the show afterward.
They live just few steps from the
Auditorium. The father is a black
smith in The shop of August Pasewalk-

ren-Inch Snow on the Level.

A blanket of snow from eight to ten
inches deep on the level covers all of
Nebraska, southern South Dakota, the
Black Hills and northern Wyoming
today.
1t is the heaviest snowfall for this
early in the winter since October,
1898, just eleven years ago.
At Norfolk the snowfall was eight
inches, increasing to ten at Long Pine
and Dallas, northwest of here. The
snowfall was not quite so heavy west
of Long Pine to the Hills. heavy
snow is reported all along the Albion
branch of the Northwestern, and all
over the south Platte country.
All trains running in and out of
Norfolk were delayed by the storm.
Train No. 9 on the Northwestern from
the west, scheduled here at 6 in the
morning, was three and half hours
late, and an extra No. was made up
and run out of Norfolk in the morn
ing.
Train No. 6, the noon eastbound
Northwestern train, was reported for
ty-five minutes late.
The noon train from Dallas reached
Gregory all right and it was thought
that it would get to Norfolk.
The noon Union Pacific left Column
bus forty.fve minutes late.
The temperature moderated, the
mercury rising to IA degrees above
zero in Norfolk and to about 20 de-
grees above zero on an average over
the territory.
No suffering in the live stock re-
gions is anticipated.
Wind accompanied the storm and
in places there are big drifts.
At Sioux City four inches of snow
has fallen, and it is still showing.
Omaha reports just barely enough
snow to cover the ground.

NO MORE WOMEN.
Inspector Would Bar Female Society
Militia Paid for by State.

Militia Paid for by State.
Lincoln, Nov. 17.-If Inspector Gen
eral Fetterman has his way about it,
women will be barred from the an.
nual encampments of the Nebraska
National guard hereafter save during
day or two near the close of the
outing. In his report to his chief the
general severely arraigns the growing
practice of officers quartering on the
camp, at the expense of the state for
the ten-day encampment each year a
bevy of female friends, relatives and
others. He says that the state pays
the expenses of the annual encamp-
ment out of a desire to give the Of
ticers and men experience in actual
military camp life, and that it is not
an appropriation either for an outing
for the feminine friends of the guards
men or for study in social ameni-
ties.
General Fetterman complains that
the officers, by reason of the enter
tainment of their wives and other wo-
men friends, are compelled to assume
so many social duties that they have
no time left to attend to their mill
tary duties. He also recommends that
the camp be located remote from any
city, the practice heretofore being to
exploit it for the financial benefit of
the fortunate town. Adjutant General
Hartigan intimates that he will ap-
prove the recommendation relating to
barring out of women.

Bank Robbery Trial Monday.

The Hadar bank robbery trial VIII
occupy district court in special ses-
sion at Pierce next week.
Harry Joyce and James Morrison,
the two alleged bandits who are ac-
cused of having blown open the vault
of the bank at Hadar last January,
securing about $1,943, have been in
jail since shortly after the robbery,
first at Sioux City and for the past
month at Pierce, awaiting trial.
The two alleged robbers Dut up a
fierce fight in the courts of Iowa in
an effort to prevent being brought
back to Nebraska. They lost in the
supreme court of Iowa, and were fin
ally brought back to Pierce.
An attempted Jail delivery has been
feared and special guards have
watched the Pierce county Jail every
night since the arrival of the prison
ers, who are booked by the Pierce
county authorities as desperate men.
It will be shown at the trial that
these two men were in Norfolk prior
to the robbery at Hadar, having taken
lodging at the Norfolk House. 1t will
be shown that one of them bought
a knife at local hardware store, and
testimony will be introduced to prove
that this was the same knife which
was found lying in the Hadar vault
after the bank had been dynamited.
Testimony will be introduced to
prove that one of the men was at
Hadar few days before the robbery;
that he went into the bank and bought
draft for 50, which he later cashed
at the railroad eating house at Nor
folk Junction.
That the Sioux City authorities re-
gard the two prisoners as desperate
men is indicated by the fact that in
marching the men from the Jail to
the court house, the prisoners were
handcuffed together and guarded by
O number of detectives.
Judge Welch will preside at the
trial

TlIden's Jail a Disgrace.

Tilden Citizen: The condition of
the village jail is a disgrace to Tilden.
1t is old rotten and filthy, and has
long outlived its usefulness. The
structure was built over twenty years
ago, of 2X4 scantlings laid fiat and
nailed with forty-penny spikes placed
about four inches apart. 1t has been
moved twice by official authority, and
Is now the most unsightly piece of
property owned by the village of Tild-
EN-. 1t is said to be so badly infested
with vermin that he would be a brave
man who would undertake to give
the inside of the old shack even a pre-
tense of cleaning. The combined wis
dom of a former board of trustees
gave the town a city hail." and in
this building, room could easily be-
found for installing a steel or iron
cage; and the expense incident to
such a purchase would meet with the
approval of practically all the tax
payers of the town.

ons, muskmelons, squash, pumpkins
and cucumbers predominant. The
seed yields well and is of fine quality,
and is raised on contract for various
seed houses.
Perhaps some of the methods of
thrashing and drying the seed may
be of interest to all. Some of the
growers bought seed thrasher, which
separated melon and cucumber seed
in good shape. One day three teams
gathered and put through the ma.
chine forty big loads of water melons.
| The seed is dried in frames holding
about a bushel or two each, which Is
quite a particular process; then when
thoroughly dry is sacked and shipped
in common twobushel sacks. This
warm sunny fall has been an excellent
one for the outdoor drying of seed.
PUMPKINS and squash, however, are
too dry to thrash we'll in the machine
so most of them are separated by
hand. We watched one man as he
did it. The process varies slightly
with different varieties, but his was
as follows: He cut the squashes in
two with a corn knife; then, sitting
straddle of a box, jammed the half
of squash down on a nail while he
raked out the pulp with a big spoon.
When he had lot of pulp ahead he
put some in a barrel with several
buckets of water, and churned the
mass with garden rake until the
] seeds and pulp separated, when he
raked the pulp out and spread the
seed in a drying frame.
The residue of the vegetables, es.
pecially of the pumpkins and squashes
is valuable for feed stock. Altogether
Mr.. Fellow Kinkaider of Brown coun.
ty, the seed industry looks good on
it's surface. Better investigate it.
Maybe our people have struck a new
lead.

OF an Italian Child.
New York, Nov 1.-THE body of a
5-year-old Italian boy, who disappeared
about ten days ago, was found in a
chimney at 1922 East Sixty.third street.
The boy, Frank De Rosa, came down
from his fathers home in the Bronx
with his mother November 4. He
played around the Railways of the
four-story tenement in which his aunt
lives on West Sixty-third street, and
when his mother started to look for
him he was not to be found.
The next day his father reported the
disappearance to the police and a gen.

station houses. Some of the neigh
bors went so far as to say that the
boy had been picked up by the Black
Hand. The police have sent four men
to find out if Frank got into the chin.
