Asks $4,000 DAMAGES.

Neigh, Neb., July Especial to The
News: Possibly one of the largest
damage suits ever filed in the district
court of Antelope county was that of
Mrs. Belle Roth of Fremont, a few
days ago.
Mrs. Roth filed suit against the
Chicago Northwestern railroad com.
pany to recover $4,000 damages for
injuries received in the railroad yards
in this city on March 26, 1910. In her
petition she charges that on the above
date she purchased a ticket from Ne
ligh to Clearwater and entered
passenger car on a mixed train, and
while sitting on a seat in the car
the agents and servants of the rail
road company carelessly and negli.
gently caused collision between the
cars of said train, by means of which
she was first thrown violently back
ward striking a portion of the car
seat, and then thrown violently for
ward against certain sheet iron and
wood surrounding the stove itself
She was bruised and had two ribs
fractured and other serious internal
injuries, it is alleged. She has ex.
pended $1,000 for treatment. she snys,
and has failed to be cured and claims
to be injured permanently. She has
also lost $500 wages as a professional
nurse up to this time, she charges. In
addition to this she asks judgment for
$4,000 and costs of suit for the per.
manent injuries she sustained.
Attorney NJ. F. Harrington of O'Neill

the case, which will probably come up

Friday evening and sent delegates
Saturday to the county convention at
Battle Creek. The First and Second
wards met at the city hall, but the
Third and Fourth wards held their
meetings in their own precincts. The
delegates from the First and Second

Since the first of the present month
the usual large number of travelling
men summering in Norfolk have, with
the consent of the house" gone to
parts unknown, some for two and
others for as long as four weeks of
vacation. The travel has been very
light and the hotel clerks are again
looking for the warm grasp of the
travelling salesman whose return is
now eagerly awaited. Many of the
men. when they return, will be bene-
diets, II is said.
Now that the property owners on
Norfolk avenue have decided to pave
the street with concrete they will find
that the price Of gravel has been in.
creased from 60 to rs cents per load.
The increase went into effect at the
w. A. Wagner gravel pit on July l.
How other gravel pits surrounding
Norfolk stand on the increase is not
yet known. The reason given for the
increase at the Wagner pit is that
there is not enough profit in gravel
when sold at 60 cents.

Dr.. Ray in Cav "Paree."

Paris, France, June Still we tour
the continent. Leaving Amsterdam
we visited The Hague, the capital of
Holland, and by special permission
we were shown through the royal pal
ace, also the famous church in which
the noted peace conference was held
in 1907. The Hague is an ordinary
city and were it not for the fact that
1t is the capital it would be less at
tractive. Our next important stop was
in Brussels, the capital of Belgium.
This is beautiful city, with its many
parks, gardens, museums, galleries
and the royal palace. 1t could easily
weeks. 1t is a great seaport city and
is also noted for the elegant rugs that
bear its name, and also the charming
lace factories. But just now it was
far more attractive on account of the
great worlds fair, which has allured
people here from every land and
cline. In consequence of this, the
hotels OF the city were greatly crowd
ed, and had our rooms not been en-,
gagged month before we could hardly
have found place. After taking in
all the sights of this quaint old city,
founded 1000 years ago, we took a
fast express for gay "Paree," and here
we are domiciled in Hotel Percy, in
the center of the most fashionable
place of all the worlds cities.
Effects Of Paris Flood.
Paris has 100000 inhabitants and

rate being very small. The floods of
a few months ago have left their eff,
feet on the city, because in place of
the old buildings that were destroyed
others far better and more costly are
being built, Many people lost their
lives during the floods and shortly
afterwards on account of sickness con.
tracted during the storms.
The former proprietor of our hotel
died two months ago from the effects

MAIL CARRIERS PUZZLED.
Not Allowed to Work over 48 Hours a
Week, Are Up AGAINST Il.

Members of the carriers force at
the Norfolk postoffice, according to a
decision recently handed down in the
court of claims, are not allowed to
work over forty-eight hours during the
week, but are required to deliver all
the mail they have with them on a
trip, even though their eight hours
has expired. Now the Norfolk car
riers are wondering how they will get
mail to the Norfolk people, when they
have finished their forty-eight hours
on Friday evening.
Heretofore the carriers on a trip
delivering mail have made it a prac.
tice to stop delivering as soon as the
eight hours of the day had expired
but since the new oruer mas gone into
effect they have kept on working un-
til they finished their trip. At noon
Saturday they had but two hours and
thirty minutes more to work to finish
up the required forty-eight hours and
they went before Postmaster John r.
Hays to find a solution to the situa-
ton.
To enable the Norfolk people to get
all their mail and the carriers to col
lect late mail, the postmaster told the
carriers to wait till late in the after
noon to make their trips, clearing up
the temporary stop of the mail de-
livery. The carriers, however, are
still worried over the situation, de-
claring that although they are not
allowed to work more than forty-eight
hours in the six days of a working
week, it is very likely that they will
have worked forty-eight hours before

Grand Master speaks Here

Probably the most effective address
along the lines of fraternal insurance
ever heard in Norfolk, was the one
given Friday evening by Grand Master
Workman A. NJ. Walling before the
open meeting of the A. o. L. W and
ID. of II. Notwithstanding the eX-
IRENE heat of the evening, there was
a good attendance of both men and
women, and the grand master work
man was given close attention
throughout the entire address Mr..
Walling divided his remarks into a
comparison of the methods of old line
insurance companies and the fraternal
beneficiary associations, showing that
in times most needed the fraternals
come to the assistance of its members
with willing hands and cheerful COM
fort, while the old line people are on
ly interested in knowing whether the
last premium has been paid on the
policy, and that premium amounts to
many times the cost of assessments.
One class of insurance is carried at
actual cost of bare operating expenses,
while the other is carried at a rate
that yield nice profit to the stock
holders.
Then the grand master workman
showed that while all fraternal bene-
ticiary orders are good and all have
many features that are commendable,
the Ancient Order of United Work
men of Nebraska stands head and
shoulders above every other one of
the forty-six similar organizations do
ing business in the state in the many
features favorable to the member
One of these is the provision in the
laws of the Workmen which does not
compel the member to die to win, in
that when he attains the age of 70
he may withdraw his membership and
receive back every cent he has paid
together with 4 percent interest A
of other features were called
to the attention of the audience, show
ing why the Workmen organization
has gained such favor in the state
Mr.. Walling was in good mettle his
voice was strong and the listener was
impressed with the idea that he is
sincere, honest and very much in ear
nest in what he said. He is devoting
two weeks to the Elkhorn valley, Lold-
ing a meeting every evening with one
of the lodges in the north part of the
state. He is accompanied by Deputy
Grand Master Workman Dillon on the
Trip.
At the close of the meeting, light re-
freshments were served by members
of Norfolk lodge, No. 81, assisted by
the Degree of Honor.

Friday night was an uncomfortable
one for a number of Norfolk families
who are spending month camping
