The Norfolk Y. M. C. A. Campaign

Interest is being shown by many
Norfolk people, who are organizing for
Y. NJ. &. A. work in this city, over the
coming state convention of the Y. NJ.
G. A., which takes place at University
Place, Neb., February II, Is, 10 and
20. 1t is very probable a number of
Norfolk people will be in attendance
at this convention. Any one wishing
to attend this convention is requested
to write J. p. Bailey, state secretary
of the Y NJ. G. A., at Omaha.
Much interest is shown by outside
associations over the results of the
recent Norfolk campaign. The Ne
braska's Young Men has this to say:
The Norfolk campaign for $4,000
closed October 80 with $4,000. 1t was
a splendid demonstration of seven
days work in a town of 5000 pOpula-
ton. The work was done by ten
teams. one of which was a high school
team of ten picked young men from
the high school, assisted by as many
more picked young women, and their
work probably was the greatest factor
in bringing the results which We have
already mentioned.
Early in November a committee con
sisting OF Messrs. Huntington and Ran
som of Norfolk, with State Secretary
Bailey. visited Columbus, Central City.
Hastings. York and Fremont. to look
over the buildings preparatory to the
building committee drawing its plans
for their new building, which is now
being done. and in the early spring the
building will be commenced. A most
beautiful lot has been purchased di-
rectly south of the postotiice, l00Xl76
feet, which is in all probability the
future center of Norfolk.
A splendid building committee has
been selected with Darius Mathewson
as chairman. An architect has been
selected, and things are moving in

nish settlement in Kingsbury county,
an evangelist named Thomas Bran

state hospital for the insane at Yank.
ton by the insanity board of Kings
bury county, which examined into
his mental condition. The unfortu-
nate mans home is a mile north of
Speartish in the extreme western part
of the state, where he conducted a
market garden. He for some time
has belonged to a religious sect, the
members of which believe they are
endowed with special power by the
Holy Ghost and that they are required
TO devote their time, as did the
apostles of old, to preaching. The
members of his congregation were
badly frightened when he became VIC
lently insane during one of his meet
ings. He will not keep clothing on his
body and calls every one who comes
rived in Kingsbury county before the
removal of her husband to the asylum
and is heartbroken over the said con-
dition in which she found the unfor-

years of age, an freshman by birth and
until he so suddenly lost his mind
was bright and intelligent.

CHIC OR HEALTHY, WAich7
The American Woman Shouldn't Cram

New York, Jan. 29.-"The New York
woman cannot oppose health and ma.

York woman should continue to con
form to Parisian.made garments she
would eventually be neither natural,
healthy nor beautiful"
This, from Samuel PAUL, grand mas

ISOLATION OF America, shows the pur.
poses of that institution in new
highland may we be pardoned for
ever having thought these same pur-
poses other than altruistiC.
Every day the American woman Is
seeing more clearly that the New York
figure Is not the Partisan figure" eX-
planned Mr.. PAUL with conviction.
The New York figure Is infinitely
more beautiful. Why? Because the
American womans figure is Il healthy,
normal figure. The American woman
has n high, firm chest, her lines are
firm and long and slim and graceful.
II she permits herself to be natural
she is healthy and beautiful, but she
can be neither by examining herself
into Paris gown.

stands this The lines of the Partisan
tailors go in every direction. The lines
of the American tailor follow the nat.

You know" Mr.. PAUL elabortcd
you cannot very well improve upon
the lines Of healthy normal body.
The Partisan tailors think you can
but you cannot. The more closely you
follow naturalness, the more nearly
artistic you become. Ladies, 1t is a
choice between chic and lung trouble

Ronesteel TO Go DrY7

Bonesteel, s. d., Jan. 29.-Special to
The News: AS yet there has never
appeared in an outside paper anything
giving fair statement of the situation
in Bonesteel. Judging from the state
ments heretofore sent out it would
appear BOnesteel was comprised of an
aggregation of thieves, murderers and
grafters, and any citizen of Bonesteel
who became known as such away from
home was regarded as a curiosity and
one to be feared. The facts, however,
are that BOnesteel for the past four
years has been one of the cleanest
towns to be found anywhere in the
Northwest. Her citizens comprise as
fine men and women as can be found
anywhere refined, cultured ladies and
gentlemen.
Last spring when Mayor Linticum
was elected on the reform ticket it
was for the purpose of making the
and to remove the poker games from
the rear rooms, also to conserve the
revenues of the city to a better use
than was being made of them. When
Mr.. Linticum took his seat he was
absolutely alone on the board the al
dermen solidly against him. Now he
has two members of the board with
him. The fight the saloon element
is making against him is making him
many friends and Bonesteel will Ger
tainly go dry at the spring election.

BACK TO LACE AND TuLLE.
DistinetiveIy Feminine Trimmings are

New York, Jan. 2g.-"lt is dimcult to

ed with ,ulle and lace, and now they
have invaded the domain of dresses,
blOuscs and lingerie as well, The use
OF lace means, of course, that lines
will be less severe, softer and 'ilutler,

cor all dress trimmings lace is the
most distinCtivcly feminine. Hardly a
plain morning dress or an afternoon
gown is made without a shallow round
yoke of net or lace. and evening
dresses are fairly heaped with such
garnitures.
"It is not essential to have only one
kind of net or lace on the same gown.
for an ingenius combination of two or
more can be made very effective.

than white or cream, since quite the

They Have the 200 feet.

Railroad surveyors created conster-
nation in our city last week by measur-
ing 100 and 200 feet on each side OF
their track from the center, where IT
passed through the town proper, It's
additions and adjoining lands. Under
the late decision of the u. S. Supreme
Court in a question of their right OF
way it was finally decided that the
railroad had a right of way of zoo feet
on each side of the track from the
center of the main track where the
land had not been homesteaded PRIOR
to the location of the survey OF the
road. So people who have encrouche5
on their right of way will be given
plain notice that the railroad OWNS the
land, but they will not be disturbed
UNTIL. the railroad needs it, so no one
can claim it by right of long continual
possession
This means that in OLD HAYS Ofigl-
nal it is 100 feet on each side of the
track, which takes in from the Mill
west to the Kreuger Reeder corner,
but in the Hill Wilson and Joe Wilson
additions east of the mill and from the
Section line along the Charlie Reeder
land west to the bridge and on west
they have the 200 feet on each side
This decision takes in several houses
and many used lots along the track on
both sides but settles that long dis
puted question, 50 those who have re-
ceived Warrantee Deeds for that land
are out in the cold as to title, as the land
Is railroad lands and rot for SALE

Still Wanting More Land.

For years r. B. Thomas has been
kept in hot water and law suits de-
Tending his rights to his property on
South Chestnut street, adjoining the
Reservation, and finally won out and
proved his rights. He willingly gave
the required land when he was paid for
it, as he had right to be, the sans
as any other property owner.
Now he has got another snarl on
hand. Last Saturday two Topeka law
yers, state employees, were here in the
interest of the State Normal on the
reservation, that is rot satisfied with
$500 acres of land, but is determined
that he shall give them tract on his
southwest corner, contending that he
don't know where his line is The Nor
NAL want some of his land as well as
some of the Mrs. Ryan and Charlie
Reeder tracts so they can get to their
land and school without going down in
now Instead OF buying the needed
100 foot right of way it seems it is to
be secured by q new survey line. But
as the Ryan-Reeder fences have been
there on that line close to the creek
for score of years, it seems hardly
possible that any new survey now win
change it and purchase seems the
only proper way.
Mr.. Thomas offers to treat them
fair if they meet him half way. The
Reservation when laid out was War
Department Government land. He of
fers to have the Government, it still
being Government land, to send a
u. S. Surveyor here from Ft Riley,
one who is working for the Govern
ment and knows NO individual or In
terest Then let him go south TO a
known corner stone and survey TO a
known corner stone north of the city
and a. ide by that line and survey, for
the old government records are on file
and can be secured by that Government
| Surveyor That would settle the qties-
tion whether the rock in the hedgeroR
is corner stone or not.

boy had to hunt up a barber shop to
change his looks. The President or
