The death of Usher E. G. Heilman
in the state penitentiary at the hands
of three escaping convicts, is being
discussed by many Norfolk people
today. Mr., Heilman who was 60
years old, was popular in Norfolk and
his untimely death came as sad
shock to his many friends. Many
Norfolk people remember with pleas,
ure the courtesies shown to them by
Usher Heilman, while they were Wis.
itors at the state penitentiary.
Heilman's two sons were employed
in shoe store in Lincoln. and Mrs
Heilman lived in Lincoln.

verdiure Girl Wins Prize.

Verdigre, Neb, March 16.-Special
to The News: The Commercial club
of this place offered prize of IS in
cash to the person who would sug-
gest an acceptable name under which
the club could unitedly grasp the
wheel of progress and push it along.
Miss Elva Ranha, the assistant
cashier of the Knox County bank,
was the lucky contestant. The name
she suggested was up And Do It's"
To have letter directed to the sec
rotary of the Cup And Do It's" will
reach the proper channel.
David Brennan, one of the pioneers
of this community, passed away at
his home Tuesday, March IL, of old
age. Mr.. Brennan was highly re-
spected by all who knew him for he
was the soul of honor and honesty.
He leaves to mourn their loss two
sons, Will and Gus and a daughter,
Mrs. N. P. Nelson.
At a recent meeting Of the Com
mercial club it was suggested that
ways and means should be found for
increasing the valuation of real es-
tate. The suggestion was made by
one of the members that it would
also be a good idea to publish the
personal tax list of the township but
this suggestion was voted down, and
voted down so hard that it will hard
ly ever be instructed, for it is well
known fact that there are more tax
shirkers in Verdigre township than
in any other township in Knox coun-
ty, if not in the state Of Nebraska.
The real estate shows for itself best.
Mr.. Johnson, the perjuries commit
tee, in the presence of the assessor,
is something appalling. We take the
stand that man who will swear
falsely to the assessor, would do the
same in court or justice and his
evidence should not be accepted. We
hope that the Commercial club will
not be one sided in this matter but
that they will go to the bottom of
this Sinking, and make the rich dig
up as we'll as the poor.
1t is being agitated that another
$4,000 bonds be floated for the pur-
pose of extending the water mains.
This is splendid idea, and one
which should have the first call on

O,NeiII to Have New Hotel.

O'Neill, Neb., March 15.-Special to
The News A few weeks ago the
business men of O'Neill, realizing the
necessity of a suitable hotel, organ
lied a Commercial club to look the
matter up and report as soon as they
found the sentiment of the people on
the proposition. T. V. Golden offered
to build a $4,000 hotel if the people
would subscribe $4,000 of that amount.
A committee of the club made tour
of the city and secured pledges for
$1,000. At a meeting of the club and
subscribers at the Hotel Evans the
matter was practically settled and
the hotel will be built. The work
will commence as soon as the wealth
er permits.
Some few days ago at a meeting
of the taxpayers of O'Neill and the
township of Grattan, in which O'Neill
is located, a levy of mills was voted
to build a Carnegie library. The
building OF the library and the nego
tiations were delegated to a commit
tee chosen for that particular pur
pose.
