The preliminary canvass to asCer-
tain how much stock could be sold
among the people interested, provid-
ing the Norfolk.Newman Grove inter-
urban line is built, will be started
within few days. All the commit
teemen for this work have now been
named. An enthusiastic meeting was
held at Woodmen's hail. ten miles
south of Battle Creek, Tuesday night,
attended by a hundred farmers of
cial club was represented by Secre-
tary l.. p. Pasewalk, w. A. Witzigman
and c. p. Parish.
President Killian had been invit-
ed to come and make speech in the
Bohemian language to the Bohemians
of that territory, but owing to illness
was unable to go. Secretary Pase-
walk gave an outline of the plan.
The farmers present were enthus-
iastic, many stating that they would
take stock. One man, against the
project heretofore, said he'd take
$4,000 in stock. He owns 500 acres
of land
A new route, saving five miles
from the original plan, is now con-
templated. 1t would go southwest
from Norfolk, joining the valley of
the Battle Creek at a point five miles
south of the town of Battle Creek.

SIXTY DAYS for Aoush.

Claude Housh was sentenced to six
ty days in the county Jail by Justice
Eiseley for assaulting Harry Howarth,
the high school janitOr. Housh, ac-
cording to witnesses called to testify
in the case, beat Howarth over the
head with brick, cutting two large
gashes in his head. Earl Housh, a
brother, was dismissed. He, according
to witnesses, had nothing to do with
the fight and pulled his brother from
HowaTth, who was lying on the
ground. Housh will probably be taken
to Madison today.
County Attorney Nichols was indig-
nant after the judge had said that a
siXty-day sentence would be pronounc-
ed, when he heard rumors that pres
sure was being brought to bear to re-
duce the sentence to money fine.
The defendant was guilty and de-
served the jail sentence" he said. He
was not pleased with the idea of COM
ing to Norfolk repeatedly to prose
cute criminals, only to have court
leniency offset the effect of the prose
cutions afterward.

Dies From His Burns.

NJ. Williams, COZ Park avenue, who
early Sunday morning was fatally
burned as the result of matches ignit-
ing in his pocket, died from his burns
last night.
Many of the wounds, it is said, were
much deeper than at first thought.
The reaction set in during the after
noon and Williams died from the
shock later in the night He leaves
wife and one grown son, Clifford.
1t was at first thought impossible
that the matches alone were the main
origin of the fire, and an investiga-
ton showed that Williams had car
ried a bottle of alcohol in his pocket,
which was broken by his fall in the
coal shed. The matches rubbing
against the steel nails in his pockets
ignited the alcohol and he was soon a
mass of flames. The entire skin of
both arms and hands, including the
fingernails, had fallen off. His body
was horribly burned.
Williams Was a Plumber.
He was IS years old and had lived
in Norfolk two years, coming here
from Portland. The funeral will be
held from the house at o'clock this
afternoon, Rev. E. F. Hammond in
charge. Burial will be in Prospect

Pearv's Proof.

Fremont Tribune: Peary's purport-
ed proofs that were withheld from the
national congress in order that the
public might be made to pay more Gag
erly and literally to get them are now
being served up in magazine form.
1t has been a matter of some specu-
lation what manner of figures or doc
uments would be submitted to show
beyond question that the north end
of the world had been found. Peary's
proofs consist of an interesting and
somewhat thrilling story of a trip
through fields of ice. The story goes
into the minutest detail of prepare.
ton, movements, operations and OBJ
servations, calculated to impress the
reader, not only that the trip was
made, but that no one else could pos
sibly have made it.
The signs that Peary reached the
pole it must be presumed are in the
careful computations and deductions.
The proof consists of putting together
story that will hold water. Edgar
Allen Poe or A. Conan Doyle could
have accomplished it without the
dangers and the perils of winter in
the arctics, but Commander Peary
has not established a reputation as n
| fictionist.
The best proof, after all, will be
the word and reputation of Peary and
the two men who were with him. And
in this hypothesis there will always
be the one cause for regret that the
great explorer, in his gluttony for
glory, permitted none but the negro,
Hansen, to take the final march that
meant to stand at the apex OF the
earth.

A CLASH AT THE COUNCIL.
Chairman Winter Feels His Oats, But
Becomes famed Down.

There were few fireworks at the

Herman Winter happens to be chair

tee And great authority goes with
that position. Herman thinks In fact.
for time Herman let 1t be under
stood that he was car over that de-
partment ana that any other council
man buttng into that portion of the
city's business, must be sat upon. But
it was Herman who was sat upon.
Councilman w. II. Brakeman had
been looking into the way the water
pumping job is being run just at this
time. He had been gathering figures
on the subject, to get n line on tho
cost at present as compared with the
cost before the city took over the
pumping proposition some weeks ago.
And the figures were not favorable to
the present plan. They showed that
the present system Is an expensive
proposition for taxpayers.
What right have you to bring in
those tigures?" asked Winter, remem-
DtlluB luuJ lie was chairman OF tne
ways and means committee. I'm
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee and that's my business"
Councilman Brakeman thereupon
politely but firmly told His Chairman
ship that as a member of the council,
any city business was his business:
that he was interested in getting at
the details of the city's expense &C
count and that he'd keep on doing It,
whenever he saw fit, without asking
Chairman Winters aid or consent.
He said some things to the chairman
that si22led and the chairman tanned
down. Having been told where to get
off, he acted as if he was ready to eat
out of the hand that pointed the way.
BY morning he forgot that part OF
the incident and remembered again
that he was chairman.
Didn't | rub it into him." he said,
patting himself upon the back, when

MONEY FOR WAYNE SCHOOL.
State Officials Decide Appropriation

Lincoln, June 22.-There seems no
doubt now that the Wayne normal
school will be opened for business by
the state at the beginning of the Sep
TENDER term. President Conn was
here discussing the matter with
Treasurer Brian. The two went over
the appropriation with Auditor Bar
ton, who gave them to understand
he felt that the law would permit the
expenditure of the balance of the ap-
preparation for the maintenance of
the institution. The legislature appro-
priated 100000 for the purchase and
use of the normal school and only
$4,000 was used in buying the prop
erty. The other $4,000 the board be-
lieves can be used for maintenance.

CORN is DOING WELL.
II Can Stand Another Two Weeks Of
Hot Weather; Rain Would Helm.

One Norfolk farmer SCOTS at the
idea that the crops are suffering bad
ly in this vicinity from the drought.
The hay crop, he says, when ready to
be cut, will be very short on account
of the lack of moisture. Alfalfa, how
ever, is looking fine on account of the
depth of the roots. The corn IS very
good and will not be in danger for
at least two weeks. The wheat, he
says, will be short headed also on
account of the lack of moisture when
heading out. Oats are up to this time
in good shape but will need rain in
about ten days to assure a full crop.
