c. c. Cow called attention Of the
club to the fact that no arrangements
have been made for the distribution
of Norfolk literature during the land
rush which comes ten days hence. He
suggested that every person coming
to Norfolk or going through to the
new country should be given litera-
ture about Norfolk. He also sug-
gested an agricultural display Of Nor.
folk products at some depot This
matter was left in the hands of a COM
mittee who will work Jointly with
the Commercial club on this propo-
sition.

Yes, We Need a Hospital.

That Norfolk needs hospital was
again shown by the fact that two
Norfolk people found it necessary, in
one day to so out of the city to under
so operations.
Miss Vera Johnson, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George Johnson, was taken
to Omaha yesterday to undergo an
operation for ear trouble.
r. b. Mckinney, secretary OF the
Elkhorn Life and Accident Insurance
company, expects to go to Omaha to-
day to undergo an operation for stom-
ach trouble from which he has been
suffering for some time.
The 9.year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs
j. w. Brown, 1920 Nebraska avenue,
was operated on for adenods.
These are only few of the cases
which local physicians say are
brought up every week in Norfolk and
which could be taken care of here as
well as at Omaha.
Since the offer made by Rev. Dana
c. Colgrove of the Trinity Episcopal
church, there has been nothing done
toward the hospital proposition. The
discussions have dwindled down to
the 1--WE need hospital but no real
action is being taken.

Omaha Man SAYS He is Not kimmeI

Omaha, Sept. 23.-"From all that
can learn through the newspapers,
this man at Niles is not George Kim
mel. If | could but see him and talk
with him a minute or two l could say
for certain"
Thus Walter Misener, the architect
at 426 Range building, expressed him
self regarding the modern Rip Van
Wrinkle whose sudden temperance
has startled the entire country. Mis-
ener and Kimmel were born and rails
ed at Niles, Mich, and were brought
up side by side. Later, in Omaha
they roomed together and slept in the
same bed for long time.
There are two things which make
me think this man at Niles an i'm
poster. The press reports say that
he used bad grammar. Now George
was we'll educated and so precise in
his language and grammar as to make
it almost painful. They say that the
Rip Van Wrinkle at Niles has grey
eyes. Georges were brown, and | can
swear to that with my dying breath"

CONGRESS WILL

President Taft the Fea-

Day

feudal baron took position on the
main Travelled roads and compelled all
merchants passing that way to pay
tribute. The modern baron camps out
on the road that leads from the pro
Queer to the consumer and levies a
larger tribute than ever did his feudal
prototype. 1t is the nature of this
species to increase their exactions.
The more they get the more they
want. Finally their demands grow so
lnsolent and oppressive that their VIC
tins combine to put them out Of bust
ness. That was the history Of the
feudal robber, and that promises to be
the story Of his latter day successor
1t is to be hoped that speakers in the
conservation congress may have the
patriotism, the love of humanity and
the courage to handle this question
without gloves. If SO they will inter-
est not only the farmer, but all classes
of the population. This, too, belongs
to conservation, for it means the con-
serving of the peoples means. Money

VIII Push PAVING Plan.

Owners of about 300 more feet of
property on West Norfolk avenue
have about promised to sign the Nor
folk avenue paving petition, according
to members of the Norfolk AID club,
who at last nights meeting firmly be-
lieved that the petition would be sign
ed and ready to turn over to the city
council this fall. An owner of about
$50 feet of property has promised the
committee who are aiding in the cir
culation of the petition, that il his
signature will make the petition COM
plete, he will be glad to sign.
Much enthusiasm was shown over
the paving proposition and number
of citizens who own property declared
at the meeting that Norfolk should
not stop this fall with but one peti.
ton for paving. They pointed out
the necessity of having the Ninth,
Third and Fourth street petitions
ready with the Norfolk avenue petit
ton this fall when the council can
call for a bond election for all the
paving districts simultaneously.

Man in Seventh Round.

The News: Gene Sullivan of O'Neill
and Jack Richmond of Wisner met In
a ten.round bout at the opera house
Thursday night. Sullivan won In the
seventh round with left hook to the
jaw. He had previously knocked
Richmond down several times but the
little fellow was game and fought
hard until counted out by the referee.
Both fighters were aggressive, but
Sullivan had the better of it in sci.
ence and wind and at no time did he
let his opponent land a hard or well
directed punch. In the second round
Richmond went down for six seconds.
He rallied and made a good showing
afterwards. He could not land and
Sullivan was an easy winner.

ferenCeS, but already it has millions
of adherents. Last year there was an
immense gathering at st. Paul. and a
president and an Cy-presidcnt were
among the speakers. The subject
then was public lands, and quite a
little fractional feeling was aroused be-
tween the respective adherents Of fed
eral and state control. Theodore
Roosevelt made the chief address on
the side of federal control and was
ably seconded by former Senator Bev-
J. Hill made rather vigorous speech
in behalf of state control.
In later years there has sprung up
In America a cluster of movements
that, while in one sense idealistic, are
still practical and highly necessary.
Among these may be mentioned the
good roads, country life, back to the
farm, city beautiful, reclamation and
conservation movements, all OF which
are kindred and aim at a common goal
With rather lofty scorn Uncle Joe
Cannon would doubtless lump them
all under the general head of "uplift"
Closely associated with these is the
effort toward cooperation in city and
country. More and more the masses of
the people are being Influenced by the
spirit Of these labors in their behalf,
for they are beginning to realize that
they will he the ones to reap the ben
EFT. Taken together these lines OF
endeavor constitute one of the most
hopeful signs of this age. The cause
Is humanitarian and means the in
crease OF beauty and OF human hap
piness.
