War for County Seat

Burke, S. d., Nov. 13.-Owing to the
fact that the town of Fairfax, which
is the temporary county seat of Gre
CORY county, circulated referendum
petitions throughout the state and
succeeded in having the new county
seat law, which was introduced by the
Gregory county members of the last
legislature, referred back to the vot-
ers, which is considered equivalent
to its notification, strong feeling
of resentment has been engendered
against Fairfax and a movement has
been started by the towns of Herrick,
Burke and Gregory to form coali-
ton, select one of the three towns
as a candidate by lot or otherwise,
and give the two so selected the solid
support of all three towns at the cleo
ton next fall when the question will
come up under the old law.
Fairfax has heretofore been able to
hold the county seat owing to the fact
that the vote is so divided among the
various aspirants that no one of them
could secure majority, as is requir-
ed under the old law. Under the new
law all but the two strongest candi-
dates would have been eliminated at
the spring primaries, and the contest
then definitely settled between the
two at the election in the fall. Should
the proposed coalition be formed it is
expected to result in a very acrimoni-
Gus and bitter fight next fall-but its
promoters point out that it will have
the virtue of quite probably settling
the county seat matter permanently
and will enable the county to erect a
courthouse, which is a luxury that it
has never enjoyed yet, although the
county has been organized for seven.

Football Gets a GrilIing.

Omaha, Nov. 11.-Football came in
for a grilling at the hands Of Prof.
G. Fisher of the Omaha high school,
President Weshell of York college
and Prof. C. E. Teach, superintend-
ent of the University Place schools,
at a meeting of the physical culture
section of the Nebraska State Teach
ers' association Friday afternoon.
Prof. Fisher went so far as to accuse
football players and rooters of lack
of consideration for others and to de-
scribe their yells as antics. Prof.
Teach cited an instance of rowdyism
by schoolmates of losing team and
denounced it as a poor kind of
school spirit" Prof, o. E. Stiehm,
coach of the University of Nebraska
football team, and Superintendent of
Schools C. N. Walton of Wahoo preci-
plated the attack when Stiehm read
paper on High School Football, "
in which he eulogized the game as of
value in fitting young men for the
battles of life, intoxicating upon the
players wonderful strength of char
acter, high morals, fine ideals of hon.
or and noble ambitions, and Supt.
Walton endorsed his position.

May Get New Industry.

If a committee of the AID and Com
mercial clubs report favorably within
a few days on the proposition which
was discussed at a joint meeting of
the clubs in the Commercial club
rooms last night, Norfolk will get an
industry of which it can be proud. But
until this committee makes it's report
no public announcement could be
given out.
After the Joint meeting a special
meeting of the AID club was called to
order by President w. H. Brakeman
and the proposition of electing a
board of governors for the club was
defeated 1t was declared by many
of those present that if an amendment
was thought advisable, it should be
brought up at the annual meeting
when new officers were elected.
In giving a brief history of the
work done by the AID club, President
Brakeman declared that Norfolk
should be proud Of an infant organiza-
ton which could accomplish some of
the things the AID club has done since
Among the accomplishments of the
club was the "clean up" day when
thousands of tin cans were gathered
together by boys under the AID club
auspices. This work, said the presi-
dent, has been commented fayorably
upon by many other cities. The clus-
ter lighting system, which the club
introduced, the help in circulating
paving petitions which he believed
would be finished this year, and the
changing of the name of the Junction
to South Norfolk were among the 9th.
er things the club has done.

played in the Auditorium on Thanks.

was progressing well and that the

FOREIGNERS NOT IN PERIL.
American Warship Men Tell Of the
Situation at Tripol.

Situation at Tripoi.
Marseilles, France, Nov. 13.-Offi-
GERS of the American cruiser Chester,
which arrived from Tripoli Saturday,
are unanimous in their opinion that
foreigners are in no danger there.
Commander Decker will forward an
official report to Washington.
Officers of the Chester say that
during their stay at Tripoli the Tur-
kish batteries located east of the city
were directing an ineffective fire
against the Italian warships in the
roadsted.
The officers think the Italians con-
troll the situation in Tripoli and are
advancing slowly into the interior.
The cholera situation is bad but ap-
parently the epidemic is not serious
among the Italian forces. The gen
eral impression of the Italian aviation
service is that it was very effective
in the advance movements Of Ital-
ians.
From the Chester, the aeroplanes
could be seen maneuvering about the
forts in the harbor and over the oasis,
the trees of which concealed Arabs
, and Turks.

INDIAN DANCES THREATENED.
But Oklahoma Tribes viii Try to Get
Washinqton Interference.

Oklahoma City. Okla. Nov. O.
Smarting under the threat of the In
dian agent at Segar to abolish the
"willow" and the gift" dances of the
Cheyenne and Kiowa tribes, dele
cation of Indians headed by Chief
Cloud and Chief Washee has success
fully pleaded with Gov. Cruce to in
tervene in their behalf at Washing
ton. The dances date from the time
the Indians roamed the plains and
the red men are loath to give them
up. They pooh-pooh the idea that the
gatherings on occasions of this char
acter lead to trouble and declare that
a fair measure of the white mans
liberty is being denied them.
The willow" dance, they said, is
given when some brave decides to
consecrate himself in certain services
to the tribe and it lasts about two
days. Only the men participate, paint
ing their bodies as was the ancient
custom. There is the usual feast at
its conclusion. The gift" dance is
participated in by several tribes and
the squaws as well as the men take
part. They are CARRIED in their best
and the dance is a very pretty custom,
guests being loaded with presents as
evidence of true Indian hospitality.

Two Men Are Badly scaIded.

Fred Marquedtson, stationary
fireman, and Peter Cades, a Greek
laborer, cousin to Gus Cades, the
Greek merchant, were badly scalded
when steam pipe in the Northwest
ern roundhouse exploded Saturday
morning. Marquedston and his helper
Cades, were standing near the
boiler when the cast iron elbow of
the water pipe under the boiler ex.
ploded, throwing much hot water and
steam over the two men. A physician
was called and attended to the mems
burns. Both were removed to their
homes. Cades was badly burned
about the face, hands, arms and back,
but the fireman was more lucky, his
face and arms being the most burned.

peculiar injury at practice last night.

Elliott and Warner were in the full

touchdowns in the evening.
Nebraska is not going to be caught
without man who can kick goal
from field in future games. At Ames
frequent opportunities for such play
were had, but the Cornhuskers had nc
man whose toe was trained in that
direction. The two Franks, Purdy and
Loftgren, are working on goals from
field, and it is probable that Nebraska
will try for scores made in such a
manner in the future tight games.

In Third Attempt, He Ends Life

Albion, Neb., Nov 11.-Special to
The News: William Philamalee, an
aged farmer living northwest of here,
ended his life by taking carbolic acid.
This was the third attempt.
Several affairs seemed to bear on
his mind. A year or so ago he lost
his wife, and has since that time been
somewhat demented. The severest
trial was the thought uppermost in his
mind that he was slowly wasting away
with cancer of the neck, and this fact
seemed to be the one cause of his
action.
Mr.. Philamalee was 70 years old
and the father of several children
who live in proximity to the home
farm. He was pioneer settler in
Boone county and widely known.
