Why Featherstone?-Why vote for
Featherstone for governor? Regard
less of his position as favoring state
wide prohibition, is he capable OF
filling the high office of governor with
credit to the people OF the state?
The Index can in all sincerity say

that Mr.. Featherstone is the ablest

Mr.. Featherstone is a lawyer Of
real ability. He has been honored
by being appointed special judge
more times than any man not now
on the bench in this state. And when
a lawyer has the compliment PAID
him of having the entire bar request

time after time, the compliment
means something. Certainly the 1u-
dicial temperament which makes him
wanted as a judge would be or great
value to a governor of the state.

business. he has large business afalrs

died near Hoskins, Wayne county.
Neb., April 10, 1910, at II m, aged SO
years, 3 months and 3 days. His
death was caused by old age and
pneumonia.
For some years the deceased had
been feeble and aiing as the conse-
quences of old age, but for six days
only was he confined to his bed, when
death relieved him from all earthly
pain and woe.
Mr.. Strate came to this country
from Germany, in company with his
wife, the 18th day of May. 1870, max
ing their home from the first in this
vicinity. In the old country Mr.. Strate
was brick maker by trade, but took
a homestead in this country and de.
voted himself to farming ever after.
He was one of the early settlers of
his neighborhood and, consequently,
endured all the hardships of pioneer
life. The first years of his sojourn-
ing in this country were unusually
trying, hail and drouth visiting and
destroying to great extent the prom

years he was not able to attend SER
vices and take an active part in the
affairs of the congregation on account
of failing health and strength.
Mr.. Frederick Strate was Joined in
holy matrimony with his surviving
wife, Auguste Sophia, whose maiden
name was Dreves, February A. 1866,

with nine children, seven sons and
two daughters, three of whom have

Town Wants lnterurban.

That the Norfolk-Newman Grove
interurban line, traversing one of the
richest portions of Madison county, is
a project that could be easily financed
and one that is not by any means to
be sneeZed at, was the consensus of
opinion of the Commercial club mass
meeting.
Secretary Pasewalk of the club stat.
ed that $50 farmers would be benefit
ed, their land being increased prob
ably $25 an acre IN value. If 500 of
those farmers would take stock to the
amount OF 5000 each, $3.50, 900 would
be raised and he thought the tinanc-
ing of the balance If it would be com.
paratively simple.
a. Degner thought the matter worth
serious investigation. S. G. Mayer
said the Commercial club directors
would fall short in their duty if they
failed to make a thorough investiga-
ton of the possibilities of the plan.
He thought it would mean a great
thing for Norfolk and would raise val.
ues of farm lands.

TO MEASURE A BLOWS POWER.
M. eertilIon Has Invented New Ma.
chine for Police Use.


Paris, April 16.-M. Bertillon whose
system of naturalization is in use by
the police the world over, has added
another ingenious contrivance to the
mechanical methods of detection.
This new contrivance measures the
blow which is struck, whether it be by
by a burlar's tool on a door, "A window,
or on a human being. The instrument
consists of two dynamo meters which
are placed at right angles, so that
either the pressure or the horizontal
traction can be measured. The meth.
cd in vogue enables the measurer to
transfer the power Of the blow upon
any other instrument or person that
may be selected. The practical value
of the invention lies in being able to
determine positively, in cases of men
who have been arrested on suspicion
only, whether they could have dealt
certain kind of blow with a sup.
posed weapon.

There were no thrilling climaXes to

was constant flow of ripping, spark.

humor that kept the audience effer.

travelling man you meet every day

was highly acceptable as Mrs. Rabbit
but Miss Tyler was hardly as real ant
as human in her part as the rest Of
them.
The audience was the biggest of the
season, there being a large number
from out of town. There were a cou
pie of hundred of north Nebraska's
prominent travelling statesmen in FOL
the show.
In the scenic production, Mr.. Har

beauty about it all was that it was 81
intensely natural that you recognized
