CHECKERING
The flaster Piece of
Piano Construction
The Ohickering Piano has lived and
grown in the most highly artistic at
mosphere for three quarters of a cent
ury Masters of composition and
musical expression the world over have
praised the perfection cf tone and action
in the Ohiokering
It represents the highest human
achievement for the making of melody
Soft mellow and sympathetic it blends
with the modulated voices for singing
nt home yet it is strong true and
powerful for concert or other uses
String by 6tring and key by key it has
been brought up to absolute purity of
tone and responsive touch
The home where the Ohickering is has
the best the world can give in music
making machinery
A piano is bought for a lifetime
nothing less than the best should be
considered the extra cost is too trivial
as compared to the artistic importance
of a lifelong entertainer and instructor

The fifth annual coniuiencenicnt of
tho Norfolk branch of tho Interstato
Associate University of music was held
at tho Auditorium last evening under
tho auspices of Mrs Cora A Heels local
director of tho university work and
proved a thoroughly enjoyable enter
tainment to those who attended
All grades of musical accomplishment
wero shown by the pupils of Mrs Heels
from the little tot who with trepida
tion and not n few excusable errors
managed to render a simple composition
in a manner that calhd forth the
plaudit of tho audience to tho finished
student of music eapablo of executing
the dllllcult classic productions of tho
old masters The features of tho pro
gram outside of tho work of tho music
students wern pleasing and served to
relievo any appearance of monotony
that might threaten through a continu
ous pianoforte performance
The program was so long as to forbid
individual mention of its many excellen
cies but all who toolc part did their
woilc very cleverly Among tho regu
lar class perhaps no pcrf oritur received
a greater mnrlc of appreciation than
Oscar Schavland who is a most apt
pupil and plays in advance of hiR years
Ho was compelled to respond to an
euchore Mr llullfs violin music tho
vocnl solos by Miss Gerecko and Mrs
Green tho recitation by Miss Hundley
and tho Music Students Band were
features thnt were highly appreciated
Tho performances by the post gradu
ates Misses Ella Mason and Eva Mohr
man of Pierce wero exceedingly diffi
cult but splendidly rendered Miss
Agnes Thompson and Mrs Orn S
Beels also gave evidences of great skill
Tho graduates were Miss Ollio Elliot
of Wiuside who played tho Spring
Dawn mazurka by Mason and Miss
Mary Tawney of Pierce who inter
preted La Regatta Vienziana by Liszt
Both are very clever performers and
give evidence of a careful and thorough
training in tho musicnl art The di
plomas were presented by Dr Fletcher
M Sisson of tho M E church who gave
a pleasing though brief address
The entire program was very compli
mentary to the instructor Mrs Beels
and she unquestionably won new
honors through the performance of her
pupils

PRONOUNCED SMALLPOX
Ir Towne Srcretury or the Stnto liuitril of
Health Locates Severn CimeH Here
There seems to be no further doubt
about the fact that Norfolk hns several
cases of smallpox For the past two
weeks local physicians have been dis
puting over n disease that made its ap
pearance hero the opinion being divided
between whether it is smallpox Cubau
itch or chicken pox Dr S R Towue
of Lincoln state inspector nnd secretary
of the state board of health was in the
city this morning and visited some of
the questionable cases pronouncing
every one smallpox but in a very mild
form It is true that none of the cases
have as yet developed n malignant form
in fact those who have been sick with
tho disease have had very few of the
symptoms which ordinarily attend
it but the state physician
soya it is smallpox nevertheless
The cases which have heretofore been
reported havo been quarantined ns
Bmallpox or chickenpox according to
the opinion of the attending physician
but hereafter when n case develops the
bouse where it jb located will be pla
carded with a smallpox sign and the
most rigid quarantine maintained
With the hearty co operation of the
families which are affected with the
city authorities in maintaining quaran
tine there need be no reason why the
disease will spread beyond its present
bounds The strictest rules of health
and cleanliness should bo observed in
every part of town Alleys and back
yards should be at once cleaned of all
rubbish and household refuse nnd
houses could bo disinfected to good ad
vantage Parents should keep their
children withiu their own yards and
every precaution taken to prevent the
spreud of the disease
Dr Towno was not called to Norfolk
but came under peculiar circumstances
Ho was called to Crowell to see two
cases that had broken out among a gang
of bridge men which ho found to be
smallpox He learned that the men bad
been boarding at the Queen City hotel
in thiB place some weeks ago nnd he
then came to see if the disease origi
nated heio He found the tueeii City
hotel qiiMinntiiied and tho first of the
trouble mi far as Norfolk knows is trace
able to that hotel
After lenrning tho result of Ir
Townes iuvestigat ous the board of ed
ucation held a meeting this morning
and ordeied the schools closed which
was done at noon today and the gradu
ating and other exercises planned for
tit M week were indefinitely postponed
Promotion cards and diplomas to those
for whom thev are intended will be
given to puptlN next week beginning
Monday llighth grade Junior day
and commencement exeielses an
nounced to take place next wet It are to
be postponed until such time as the
superintendent and those iuteiested de
cide to have them
There is tin occasion for tho people of
NoifolW or unrounding country to be
come panic stricken over the matter at
this time Now that it is known just
what the disease is the city authorities
will insist that the strictest quarantine
bo maintained and if tho picsctit police
force is not large enough to be elVcclivo
the number of men will be ineieased
Strangers need have no fear to conio to
the city as they meet no one in the
business houses who can communicate
the disease Every pel son who is
thought to be exposed to tho disease will
be caiefully waHheduntl tho timeof in
cubation has elapsed so tint t here is very
little danger of it bilng fmther spread
In fact persons may come to Norfolk
with greater capacity now than has been
possible during tho past two weeks
Nearly every town in the state Iiiib had
this same mild form of smallpox and
Norfolk seems to be tho hist on tho list
to get it As this disease does not thrive
in warm weather it cannot continue
long here
