It is rumored that in one of the geog raphy examinations in the school this morning , this question was asked : "Whero is the Norfolk Insane Hospital , and where is it to bo ? " Ohas. Ahlman entertained a few friends last evening at the homo of his parents , corner Fifth street and Philip avenue. The time was very pleasantly passed by those in attendance. The person who is without coal in his coal bin , flour in his flour chest , warm clothes to cover his back and with no money to purchase these requisites will readily agree that this is an unlucky day. day.Tho The Hayes jewelry and music store kas been remodelled , a new lighting generator installed and it is now a ; model of neatness and brilliancy , dis playing a flue array of holiday goods ef fectively. The dance given by the young ladies of Trinity social guild , at Marqnardt hall was well attended last evening. The music , furnished by Rouse's orches tra , was excellent and so inspired the lancers that they NSore loath to leave thn hall until the woo small hours of ho morning. The impression that the Elks Honoflt Minstrels to he given in the Auditor- urn on the evening of the 20th is for the Elks nnd their wives alone should not bo received. The entertainment is for the public generally and a program s being prepared that will make it worthy of the patronage of everybody. On his way to Madison with the oil wagon Tuesday Wellington Fox mot with an accident that interfered with the business of the Standard Oil com pany , The wagon was put out of ser vice by one of the wheels breaking down nnd ho was compelled to abandon ono of his teams as well as the wagon. This morning ho started out to fix up the wreck and complete his journeyer or return with the outfit to town. The dance by Norfolk camp , No. 4H2 , Modern Woodmen of America , given in the Mast hall last evening was well at tended , the hall being full of members and their friends. Fifty couples partic ipated in the pleasures of the dauco and the entertainment was a pronounced success socially , financially and in every other particular. The Italian orchestra furnished the music and the occasion was thoroughly enjoyed by all partici pants. This is another of these unlucky days Friday , the lUth. There were two of those days this year and the last ono , September the 13thwas when President McKiuloy was dying and the nation was in gloom. Ho didn't die on the 15Jth , hut the superstitious will connect that day with his death to make their belief good. What will happen today remains to bo seen. It is to bo hoped that nothing serious will happen , how ever. There will bo but one of those unlucky days next year and that will bo in Juno. The fair and dinner conducted by the ladies of the Congregational church yes terday and today in the Rudat building has been most successful. The ladies had their Christmas goods displayed in booths and they mot with such generous patronage that most of them have been disposed of. There was a large attend ance at the dinners and the receipts from the fair promise to bo largo. An interesting feature was a voting contest in which a large and handsome doll was the prize , votes being cast for the most popular little girl. The latest report from the contest was that' Rohinetto Bear was loading but there wore many other competitors and the contest will probably close with a lively finish. When the sun rose this morning his splendor was reflected by two brilliant snndogs which were companions dur ing the greater part of his majesty's trip to the zenith. The sun ittolf was eushouded in a golden halo of daz/.ling brilliancy and a bright shaft of light ex tended above and below. About 11 o'clock another strange feature of the exhibit was noticed , being a crescent- shaped exhibition of brilliant prismatic coloring directly overhead. It was sug gested that it was a rainbow , but it wasn't there was no rain and it must have been either a frost or snow bow. The entire morning presentee beautiful phenomenon in connection with the sun and he was fortunate who saw them. AnyoneJ snpplied with a reasonable share of nerves would not have to be told that the weather was cold last night but many were surprised to learn the extent of the coldness. There wore few readyjtojbeliove that the tempera ture hadfroached a point 12 degrees be low zero but that is the record indi cated by Dr. Sailer's government thermometer mometer and it is a fairly reliable in strument. The suddenness of the drop took many unawares and several mer chants and citizens met with losses , per ishable goods being frozen in cellars in some instances. The temperature has not warmed to any appreciable extent during the day and it will not be sur prising if the thermometer registers still lower tonight. Wm. B.

Deliciousjhomo made chocolates at KaufTmann's. Hardy screens all his coal before it leaves the yard8both hard and soft coal Remove Two Hogs from Cars at the Junction. ANIMALS KILLED IN THE YARDS. Trail of Wagon Is Followed and Ar rests are Made , but It Is Probable that a Conviction Cannot bo Se cured , A peculiar case of hog stealing was brought to light nt the Junction during ; ho past 21 hours. A car of hogs con signed to South Omaha was discovered to bo shy two when it reached its ties- tinjitiou besides containing ono dead animal. The proper ofiluors were noti fied and investigation by Chief of Police Kane and his assistants Nhowed that the car had boon broken into hero Wednes day night and some of the stock re moved and butchered in the railroad yards. A wagon supposed to have boon used , n hauling the booty away was traced to n house in Nonow's addition , und in vestigation of u wagon there showed ; lmt it had recently been used in haul ing hogs , ns thuro wore blood marks , nxir and other indications of the purpose tor which it had boon employed , but a search under warrant failed to disclose the property. Therefore , evidence that would secure a conviction was lacking. The otllcors investigating the caoo are satisfied in their own miuds as to who was guilty of the theft , but they are lacking in evidence that would convince a court of the suspected parties' guilt They are still on the outlook for ovi deuce but are of the opinion that the facts necessary have boon covered up or destroyed and that a conviction will he Impossible. Henry Carson and Paul Burns were arrested last night on suspicion of hav ing knowledge of the theft and will bo given a [ preliminary hearing tomorrow morning at 0 o'clock but unless some convincing testimony is developed con necting them with the case they will probably bo dismihsod. Superintendent Reynolds of the Nor folk division F. E. & M. V. has ener getically endeavored to locate the per sons guilty of the theft nnd while his effoitsnmy not prove successful it is notice to those who are so inclined that stealing on his division may not bo conducted with impunity.
