Norfolk Takes Championship.

Norfolk 4; Creighton 8.
a thousand baseball fans shivered
in cool northwesterly breeze Sun
day afternoon on the Norfolk driving
park diamond and saw Norfolk take
the championship of northeast Ne
braska from the Creighton team in
the only ten inning and most SEN
sational game of the season. The
score was . and . in the second in
ming; Norfolk scored once in the
fourth and Creighton tied it in the
fifth. From then until the last of the
tenth no scores were made.
In the tenth, with two men out,

Honors were we'll divided between

full support from the local team and
Delair was likewise we'll backed up.
Hirsch allowed no man base on

while Delair walked six players and

both Mink league players, Norfolk

Creighton filled it's regular teams

Give Free Double Cross,

Pierce, Neb.. Sept. 25.-Special to
The News: Pierce has been the
mecca toward which the democratic
politicians of the Third congressional
district have been giving their atten-
ton the past three days. Thursday
Prof. H. n. Preston of Fremont, and
the private secretary of the late Con-
gresham Latta, arrived on the morn
ing train to put in some ticks for Dan
Stephens of Fremont. A candidate
by the name of Rose from Fullerton,
followed Preston closely in an auto
and was soCn closeted with the lead.
ing lights. A trip was then taken to
Plainview where it was learned that
the friends of Fred H. Free were
working like beavers for that gentle
man for the congressional delegation
and that delegation from this coun-
ty would be asked for at the county
convention held Saturday in Pierce.
That evening one of the leaders of
the county democracy was very busy
interviewing the faithful here but the
subject discussed was kept from the
public knowledge. The plot came to
light, however, at the county conven.
ton here when announcement was
made that Robert Lucas, an extensive
ranchman and stock raiser of Foster
precinct, was candidate for the con.
gressional nomination before the
democratic convention called to meet
at Norfolk Tuesday. The impression
prevails generally that the candidacy
of Mr.. Lucas was sprung at this time
by democratic leaders at Pierce, who
have little love for Mr.. Free and have
shown their feeling towards him in
the past, The plot was evidently to
discredit Mr.. Free in his home coun.
ty by injecting another candidate and
thus divide the county at the con.
gressional convention. OF course, af.
ter the announcement of Mr. Lucas
candidacy the instructions that the
friends of Mr.. Free would be unanim.
ously passed went by the board and
the manipulators of the scheme to
give Mr.. Free the double cross took
a half day off to hug themselves
with JOY.

Sanitary Drinking Fountains.

Neigh, Neb., Sept 25.-Special to
The News: A special meeting of the
school board of Neigh was held Sat.
urday evening at the city hall, and
after considerable argument it was
finally settled to Immediately install
six sanitary bubblng drinking fount-
ains-two in the second ward school
and four in the high school building.
The complete cost of these fountains
will be about 5000 The members of
the board were heartily in favor of
this new improvement, but on ac-
count of the finances of the district
being at low ebb, concluded to wait
a few months DR.. d. w. Beattie, who
has been for some time past agitating
the fountain system, guaranteed the
board that he would personally pay
the cost of installing the six fountains
providing that money would be avail
able on or about Jan. 10. To this the
board agreed and the order immedi-
ately placed for the new drinking de.
vices for the city schools.

Republicans Will Convene.

Third Nebraska district republicans
will nominate a congressman to sue
coed Mr.. Latta, at Fremont next Mon
day afternoon at $3.50.
This was the decision of the coun.
ty chairmen who met here last night
to determine the method of nominal
ing. Eleven counties were represent.
ed and State Chairman John l.. Ken
nedy of Omaha was here.
The conference was unanimous in
voting to hold a delegate convention
to nominate. 1t was recommended
that county mass conventions be held
next Saturday to pick delegates to
the Fremont convention.
Each county will be entitled to the
same number of delegates that it had
at the recent state platform conven-
ton.
There was quite a skirmish over
the place of holding the convention,

mont as against Norfolk. They con,
sidered Fremont strategic point.
State Chairman Kennedy Speaks.
Mr.. Kennedy came up from Omaha
to get acquainted. He was asked to
address the conference and did SO
briefly. He declared there was no
reason why republicans should not
elect a congressman from this district
this year. The fact that Latta had
twice been elected had never con
vinced him that this district was out
of the republican column. He con,
sidered Mr.. Lattas strong PERSONAL
ity as the telling factor. He paid a
tribute of esteem to the late congress
man.
But by picking the best man in the
district and getting behind him with
united support republican can be
elected, he said.
Mr.. Kennedy applied to Nebraska
republicans to support the state tick
ct and elect it. Though an off year
victory is essential this year if the
state is to be republican next year
in the presidential campaign. He
urges all republicans to unite, regard
less of faction. Whether one be for
La Toilette or Taft, Norris or Brown,
he asked loyal support TO the state
ticket this year. There is no
reason why any republican should

1886 and 1892.
There was a mild outbreak In May,

along tho slopes and in nearby towns

On Dec. 20, 1908, at the time of the
Messina disaster, loud detonations
were heard, and volumes Of smoke
rolled out OF the crater. A panic arose
among the people OF Catania, the near
est town to the volcano, but Profess
sor Ricco, director of the observatory,
said that a great eruption was not ex-
Dected. His views were confirmed by
Frank Ferret, assistant director Of the
royal observatory on Mount Vesuvius,
who, after an inspection Of Mount
Etna on April 30, 1909, reported: 1.-THE
earthquake at Messina has reduced It's
