Outlook Good for a Full Field
and Warm Campaign.
FAVORITES ARE APPEARING.
Candidates on Doth Sides of the Po
litical Fence for Almost Every
Office Have Been Mentioned As-
senorihlp Attracts Many.
[ From Monday's Dally. ]
\Vhllo It IH nioro tlmn two months
until the people will bo given an op
portunity for tholr any on political
matters there appears to be an un
usual movement and unusual Interest
in politics this early in the season
and candidates for the various offices
. j are coming on 'n ' numbers that hid
fair to present a full field before the
nominating conventions that arc soon
to ho held.
As far as state politics are con
cerned it appears to he practically
settled that Judge Barnes of this city
will be 'the republican nominee and
that Judge Sullivan of Columbus will
make the race on the democratic
ticket for supreme judge.
For district judge , there is no
question but that J. F. Doyd or Ncllgh ,
the present Incumbent , will bo the
republican nominee. He has given
acceptable service during the present
term and no names have been pre
sented of those who would contest
wlch him for the nomination. Among
the democrats , Judge Douglas Cones
of Piorcb , who formerly hold the of-
ilce , Is again receiving favorable men
tion.
tion.But
But the real Interest of the coming
contest appears to center In county
affairs , and candidates for the various
offices are becoming decidedly num
erous. There are ten offices to be
filled 'chis fall , and candidates arc
announcing themselves , of all polit
ical faiths , for ouch and every one.
. , of them.
Men are to bo named to fill each
of the following offices : Clerk of the
district court , treasurer , clerk , sher
iff , judge , assessor , superintendent of
public instruction , and commissioner
first district , the latter to bo chosen
for the first time this fall by vote of
the entire county.
The democrats have already called
their nominating convention , but it
is understood that there is some ob
jection to placing the county candi
dates in the field at the time the
convention is set August 22 because -
cause it would make the campaign
lee long and it Is probable that an
adjournment will be taken after the
delegates to the state and district
conventions have been chosen , until
sometime In September.
The republican convention has not
yet been called , but it is understood
that the call will be Issued some time
this week and that September 29 is
the date that has received favorable
consideration by the committee.
Political gossip has not yet con
nected any name with the nomina
tion for clerk of the district court.
It Is said that Chr. Schavland , wheat
at present holds the position , aspires
to 'the republican nomination for
treasurer , which is also sought by
Arthur Pilger , at present deputy in
the treasurer's office. H. W. Winter
of this city has been mentioned in
connection with the democratic nom
ination for teasurer.
For clerk , Rmll Winter , the present
incumbent , will undoubtedly ho the
democratic nominee , and no repub
lican has yet been mentioned for the
place.
For superintendent C. W. Cruin ,
who at present holds the place , can
undoubtedly have the democratic
nomination if he desires , and Pro
fessor Perdue of Tilden lias boon
mentioned in connection with the re
publican nomination.
Sheriff J. J. Clements will un
doubtedly bo renominatod by the re
publicans for the office ho now holds
if lie desires It , and the democrats
will probably name sx-Shoriff Losoy
of Battle Creek if ho will permit the
use of his name by the convention.
It is said that the now law makes
it compulsory that the county judge
shall be an attorney , regularly ad
mitted to the bar. This places the
office in rather a peculiar situation.
There are few attorneys who would
care to give up a paying practice for
the position , as it does not pay
enough. Judge Bates is a democrat ,
but has never been admitted to the
bar , and if the now law holds good
his party may have to look elsewhere
for a nominee , though they would un
doubtedly name him if ho could
qualify. No republican has yet been
mentioned for the place.
For county assessor , the now office
created by the last legislature , there
are a number of candidates , in fact
It seems to have attracted more at
tention than any of thorn on the list.
On the republican side of the fence
W. H. Field of Tildon , H. G. Bruog-
gemann , of this city , and J. L. Ry-
nearson of Madison. The democrats
have favorably considered the name
A , J. Dunlory of Tildon , who has
long boon a worker for that party ,
and nerer asked for an office at Its
hands. Tim Preeco of Battle Creek
is also mentioned for the democratic
nomination.
For county commissioner of this ,
the First ' 'wo ' has not yet
been a 11 ob o , ltltor side
" ' ; " < nt
of the fence. '
both parties will en- ca/ / soc/0/ '

candidates.
H. W. Winter , of the firm of Winter -
tor & Shulzo , has held the olllco for
a number of terms and can undoubt
edly secure u ronomlnatlon from his
party , the democrats , If ho so de
sires.
It will be seen from all this that
politics will bo lively when the cam
paign is once fairly opened , as this
array of material Is but the prelimin
ary outlook , and promises bettor than
In county affairs for a number of
years past.
PROSPECTS FOR BAND MUSIC ,
Many Musicians Have Signified a
Readiness to Become Members
of a Band.
[ From Saturday's Dnlly.1
W. C. Ahlman has met with much
encouragement In his efforts to or
ganize a band In Norfolk and the
prospects now are that the citizens
will soon bo favored with some free
open-air concerts by the organization
Just to prove that they are competent
to furnish first class music when oc
casion demands.
The promise Is that the band when
fully organized will consist of from
eighteen to twenty-four pieces , and
there are Instruments in the city to
equip such an organization. With
this sort of a starter It Is not un-
llkoy that practice meetings will soon
bo hold when the boys will get their
lips and tholr musical knowlodgs in
shape to discourse new and popular
airs. Norfolk has more than the us
ual run of musicians and those with
musical instincts who with a little
practice can put up a strong article
as brass oands go. The main trouble
or rather merit Is that is has few
musicians , or none at all , whose time
Is fully their own , and the organiza
tion will bo made up from the ranks
of the clerks and ether employes so
that only on occasions and at the will
of their employers can they devote
tholr time to music. But it Is prom
ised that the music will bo good when
they do assemble and that Norfolk
will have a band fully deserving of
a generous support.
MORE DOING THAN TWO GAMES ,
In a Side Show at the Ball Grounds ,
Jo Trulock Got a Pair of Very
Black Eyes.
[ From Monday's Dally. ]
There was more doing at the base
ball grounds , east of the city limits ,
yesterday afternoon than just two
games of the national sport. Jo Tru
lock Is looking at the world today
out of a pair of very black eyes as
an effect of the side show. Trouble
came up , It seems , In which Jo and
Captain Marquardt are said to have
contravened. "You're a sore head , "
remarked the captain , in a wordy
war that followed , and then the fire
works.
With an air of "Lay on Mncduff ! "
and all of the other things that go
with it , according to the captain's
story , Jo rushed in , and several blows
chugged into his eyes. This morn
ing they are black and blue. Jo re
fused to speak of the matter , but
states that ho , himself , wasn't mixed
up in any argument , and that ho will
have something to say later.
TOOK GAME FROM STANTON ,
"Butch" Marquardt's Bunch Got Re
venge for Their Defeat of a
Week Since , Yesterday.
[ From Monday's Dally. ]
"Butch" Marquardt's crowd of base
ball boys got revenge in this city yes
terday afternoon for their defeat in
Stanton a week ago , by taking a game
against the Stanton crowd in a close
match. The locals had one score to
spare , the final chalk showing nine
and eight.
After the first inning the visitors
were allowed but a pair of runs , as
Captain Butch went into the box him
self , and did the tossing turn to a T.
Billy Wotzel played backstop and did
it well. For Stanton Pete Best and
Glazer did the battery work.
After that game , a team organized
by Leal Spaulding went up against
the victors and were handed a de
feat , score G to 5. Butch still pitched ,
making it seventeen straight innings.
Spaulding and Bert Gordon wore the
opponents' battery.
AMMUNITION FOR COMPANY L ,
Notice That 3,000 Cartridges Have
Been Sent and New Rifles Will
Immediately Folow.
IFrom Monday's Dally. ]
Second Lieutenant Carl Pilgor , of
Company L , N. N. G. , has received
instructions to the effect that 3,000
cartridges , 30-caUbro , have been
shipped to him for use by the mil
itia , and the new Krag-Jorgenson
rifles will follow Immediately. The
soldier boys are delighted with the
prospect of finally receiving the new
guns and anticipate good target prac
tice yet this season. Captain C. A.
Fuller Is atlll out of the city.
Said to Be Nothing : in the
Talked of Plan.
AFFECTS THE STREET CAR LINE.
Gossip Had Figured Out a Scheme by
Which all Railroads Coming Into
Norfolk , Would Unite In One Sta
tion Denial From Superintendent.
[ From Mnmlny'n Dally. ]
The rumor alloat In Norfolk Just
at present to the effort that the North
western railroad company will , In
connection with Its other Improve
ments , establish a union depot here.
Is denied by Superintendent C. H
Reynolds. "There is nothing In it , "
said Mr. Reynolds this morning , when
asked In regard to the talked of plan
Gossip had It that a portion of the
now land purchased by the company
would bo used for the union station ,
shirting It to the westward and nearer
the city. It was said that the com
pany had tried to purchase a tract of
land southeast of the city station for
this pnrpo.su.
With 'ihoso who gave credence to
the scheme , the arrangement worked
out very nicely. Kvwy train coming
Into Norfolk excepting these on the
Union Pacific road and the freights
over the Minneapolis & Omaha , al
ready runs Into the Junction sin' . Ion
And to substantiate the notion that
the Union Pacific would also switch
Into that ( tuar.er , is the fact that a
separate line of track has Just been
completed from the Northwestern
yards to the Union Pacific crossing ,
nearly two miles west.
Thus all trains , Uuw coming from
Sioux City , thosi ) from the MonostcH
line , the Union Pac.lllc line , and those
from both directions over the main
line of the Northwestern , could run
into one shed without trouble.
The line ot track out to the Union
Pacific crossing finds use , however.
In swivelling the Northwestern trains ,
as , they run In Irom the west. It
saves time , since they all stop foi
the croslng. anyway.
Affects Street Car Line.
Because of this rumor , the street
car proposition was hold up. Some
of the stock-holders figured that with
a union station , cutting off transfers ,
an electric line between Norfolk and
South Norfolk would be an elephant
on their hands. With the assurance
that this would not occur , these in
torcstod say that the movement wl1' '
bo pushed.

WILL GO TO CALIFORNIA ,
Ex-Mayor D. J. Koenigstein Will
Leave With His Family For
Los Angeles , Shortly.
IFrom Monday's Dally. ]
Ex-Mayor D. J. Koenigstein re
turned last night from an extended
trip through the west , including parts
of California. Mr. Koonlgsteln was
so well pleased witli the country that
he will leave Norfolk within three
weeks to permanently settle in Ix > s
Angeles , whore ho lias already secured -
cured office rooms for the practice of
law. He returned simply to pack
household goods and bid farewell.
Mr. Koenigstein says , however , that
while the mining country around Los
Angeles is thriving and prospective ,
Negraska and Norfolk still look good
to him. In that section of the west
they look upon Nebraska as the corn
state and hold It In high esteem.
Many friends will regret the depart
ure of the ex-mayor from Norfolk.

Last night was oven colder than

The following summary of the crop
situation has been sent out by Di
rector Loveland 111 the IT. S. depart
ment of agriculture , Nebraska section ,
for the week ending August 'J :
The past week has been cool , with
llglr , showers. The moan dally tem
perature has averaged 2 degrees below -
low normal.
The rainfall has generally been be
low normal ; local showers have
occurred .which in a lew Instances
gave a rainfall exceeding an Inch ,
but generally the rainfall was less
than half an inch.
Harvesting Is about completed in
northern counties and threshing is
just coinmoiicing. Tile heavy rains
of last week , together with the showers -
ors of this week , have caused stack
ing and threshing to progress rather
slowly in eastern counties , but in
western couutlos with lighter rainfall
the progress has boon rapid. Barley
is yielding woll. The yields of rye
and spring wheat continue disappoint
ing. Oats also are yielding rather
less than expected , but are a fair
to good crop in most districts. HayIng -
Ing Is ge.noral , with an excellent crop.
Sugar boots are growing well. Corn
has grown well but the temperature
has boon too low for very rapid
growth ; early corn Is earing well ;
late corn generally Is tassellng and
silking , while some very late fields
have not tasseled yet. The acreage of
late corn Is large , and corn now
needs warm , sunny weather. Fall
plowing has begun In many localities ,
with soil in excellent condition.
