FRIDAY FACTS.
William Whitla is tied up at his homo
in Madison by the smallpox.
One of the functions planned for next
week that promises much enjoyment to
those who will participate , is the third
annual ball to be given by Myrtle hive ,
No. 80 , L. O. T. M. , at Marquardt's hall
on New Year's eve. The Norfolk
orchestra will furnish the music and a
large number of people will probably
dance the old year out and the now one
in.
A case of destitution calling for the
particular sympathy of Norfolk people
has just been brought to light and
should receive early and generous con
sideration. Mrs. D. K. Yonce , with
two small children , aged 4 and 2 years ,
baa recently been deserted by her hus
band after ho had gathered up the
available assets and mortgaged all the
property that ho could not dispose of ,
leaving her with no means whatever for
her support. She and the children wore
kindly taken in and cared for by n
neighbor , Mrs. John Adams , who hits
supported them for the past llvo weeks.
Mrs. Yonco has boon sick for more than
two weeks and lint ) required medical at-
tlou , which has been generously given
and shoals still weak and nnablo to pro-
vldonieaus for her support. Her family
resides In Virginia and if she could se
cure the money necessary for her faro
she wouldjbo taken rare of there , but
her family is nutihlo to forwaid the
money to bring her homo. She and the
children also need some clothes and she
desires that the doctor should receive
some pay for hit ) attention before Hho
leaves , so that quite a little sum would
bo necessary to provide all that is
needed. Mrs. Adams 1ms certainly
done her share for the family and the
the Norfolk people should see that she
is further provided for. Thry will prob
ably bo called on in a few days for con
tributions.

three. Five-room cottage to care for.

At 4 o'clock this afternoon a very
pretty wedding occurred at the homo of
Mr. and Mrs. Win. Neuiind , west Erie
street , when Miss Myrtle M. Nmifind of
this city and Mr. Frank E. Woitz , of
Norfolk , Neb. , were united in marriage
in the presence of thirty guests. The
homo had been made additionally at
tractive with a great profusion of potted
plants , with a generous display of car
nations. The wedding party entered
the parlor to the strains of the wedding
march and stood in a bower of bloom
ing plants. The bride was attended by
Miss OraBecker , and Chester Nouflud ,
brother of the bride , served as best man.
The marriage ceremony was read by
Rev. J. McAllister , pastor of the First
Presbyterian church.
The bridal gown was a beautiful ere-
atioujof blue Venetian cloth , tailor
made , with elaborate bodice trimmings.
The flowers carried by the bride were
pink carnations. The bridesmaid wore
a dainty frock of light blue. Her bou
quet corresponded with that of the
bride.
After the ceremony a sumptuous wed
ding dinner was served and the young
couple departed on the G o'clock train
for Ohio and other points in the east.
The usual rice shower was not missing
and the baggage of the young couple re
ceived the attention given that of newly
married people.

A Successful Entertainment
Last Night.
AUDITORIUM WAS PACKED.
Well Known People Appear In a New
Role and Captivate Thotr Auditors.
Now Songs and Jokes Draw Forth
Applause and Bouquets.
The ElkH were "it" last night. They
hold the boards at thu Auditorium and
for throe straight hours kept a paeked
hcmso in good humor with their rip-
roaring , sldo-Hplittlng minstrel show.
There was "something doing. " From
the rise of the onrtain promptly at H0 : ! !
o'clock until the last echoing note of
the grand /.olio finale had died away ,
there was not a slow thing about it.
The Hongs were catchy , the jokes were
now and up-to-date and the whole per
formance moved along with all the
npico and spirit \\ith which llrst class
miiiHlruls Mumld.
At the rise of the curtain thoaudionco
was greet * d by a stage full of forty
funny fellows , diopm'd lit to kill , and
charred out of all recognition with the
blackest faces you ever saw. The only
white face in the bunch was that of Mr.
Frank II Daniels , director and inter
locutor I
The gin d introduct'ry overture was
a clover cll'eot in the dark with thirty-
nine lighted matches moving to and fro
together. Sol Mayor failed to get his
started for several seconds and then it
began to move to and fro , but not to
gether.
To Mr. Low Dockstivdor who later
claimed to bo Meyer , was given the
privilege of starting things. Ho was up
with a solo and certainly proved equal
to the occasion. This piece of work put
the audience in the proper spirit to start
with and it stayed with them.
"My Maid from Hiudoostan , " as sung
by Billy Kersauds who must have boon
Charlie Green was good. The tuuo
had a catchy swing to it and Billy was
there with the voico.
When the encore for it was heartily
encored was finished , the music was
started for "Maybe , " a very pretty solo ,
nicely handled by Mr. J. B. Maylard in
his make up as Rob. A. Roost. Ho re
sponded to an eucoro.
Goo. Thatcher now tripped up to the
foot lights and with a certain swing
that was good to see , tore on"a few
stanzas of "Lucy , My Lucy Lu. " This
was Col. Tracy's first attempt as a fcolo-
1st , and proves his vorsality.
Bale O. Cotton was the the next. He
was a large man and advanced to the
center of the stage with slow , measured
footsteps. Then , giving bin flowery
vest a jerk , Bale came out with a late
hit , "Stay in Your Own Back Yard "
Patterson was ho , and ho was called
back for an encore.
"Aint Dat a Shame , " as interpreted
by Mr. Geo. Primrose , alias Dr. P. H.
Snlter , called forth great applause and
a largo , gorgeously colored bouquet on
the encore.
Sweet William as taken by Cashin ,
was now presented in a takoy piece of
rag time entitled , "Oh Wouldn't That
Jar You ? " The performer carried a
mammoth book for reference.
Ohich N. Hunter was sentimental.
"Honey , Can't Yon Learn to Love Your
Baby , " was the theme , and Mayor Koen-
igsteiu the singer , who developed it
well.
well.Noil
Neil O'Brien jollied up the audience
with "Castle the Nile "
on , which was
mude realistic by a most hideous mon
ster who appeared from the wings. J.
N Bundick was the star who handled
this role.
Wm. West , who was taken by Mr.
Daniels himself , was next on with , "I'll
break up this Jamboree. " It was ex
ceedingly clover and pleased the audi
ence immensely.
The grand finale of port one was a
chorus of the entire stage in "The Holy
Oity"whioh of course , was very pretty.
A short intermission was taken up
with music by Mr. Daniels and the or
chestra.
Part two opened with some exception
ally catchy "Sketches of Song that
Never Die , " by the Elks quartette , con
sisting of Messrs. Koenigstein , Mayer ,
Maylord and Greene. Local words , re
garding the Elks , were set to music and
it formed one of the best numbers on
the program.
"Tho Deathless Army , " a vocal solo
by Mr. W. H. Eimers in his version of
Tommy Tubbs was a pleasant feature.
Chick N. Hunter now appeared in
full dress to introduce his latest inven
tion , the "Tonograph"whioh gave forth
an absolutely human voico. The best
selection was one taken at the initiation
of Judge Isaac Powers. The shrieks of
pain caused by the horrible torture and
the hideous shouts of villainous glee
from the bystanders , were all clear and
distinct and terrible enough to make
one's blood turn cold. By lifting the
cover , the interior mechanism was
shown and the audience got an instan
taneous glimpse of the heads of May- '
lord and Parker as they disappeared'
downward through the stage.
It was 11 o'clock and as the hour be
gan to strike the Elks in the wings
however attired marched forth upon
the stage. Greene counted out onetwo ,
three and over the entire theatre men
began to rlso In their places nno hnro ,
ono thnro. Nine , ten tolled the dock ,
thu ElkH raised their right hands andean
the last dual note of the eleventh beat
rang out , the wordH , "To Our Absent
Brother , " sprang from thu lips of uvory
man. They were carrying out a custom
of Kllcdom.
Nell O'Uriun'H second appearance wan
in the vocal solo "Mamie. " It wus a
pleasing bit of refrain and added to
Ncll'M "rep. "
A few minutes with Our Porter ,
James Ellis , were heartily enjoyed , his
original jokes and ( nlertalnlng HiiatuhoH
of Hong with a tone of genuinonosH to
thorn , making quite a lilt.
Chick N. Hunter was up again In
"Little Black Mo , " whleh.waH followed
by an unjnyablo euphonium solo by R.
G. btrong as Rostus Fox. It was a
treat.

Ills air was as c.ttohy us catchy couhl ho ,
his expression was fomothing urtMin
and the straps of a clog that ho toro olV
between staii/UH were absolutely irre
sistible. Ho WIIH enthusiastically encored -
cored and hiought back fora how after
that. Could it have been N. A. Ruin-
bolt ?
Probably as funny a thing as WIIH
scheduled was the cake walk hy a
Hunch of Hot OUCH. It was rich. The
men of the hunch were Clarence Salter ,
Davenpoit , Parker , and Lee Murtyn ,
while their partners , attired in tlui most
gorgeous of frocks , were Cashin , Storm ,
Wilmording and Gentle. Each couple
of them was gcod and not a movement ,
a smile or a kick known to the art of
of cakowalkdom was omitted.
The director practiced his art when ho
put Billy Korsands on for the vocal solo
"Down In the Deep Lot Mo Sleep When
I Die. " It added much to the evening's
pleasure.
The sketch entitled "A Queer Lot , "
presented a most nnlquo assortment of
make-ups and was intensely abiuird.
Looio , a German professor , was char
acteristically taken by Max Asmns.
Crullers , a darkey zoboitt , WUH n ridicu
lous part well done by George Spear.
When Connolly ciuno in as Mr. Seeds
from the farm , ho brought the house
down. Particular Willie , alias ( /hick
N. Hunter , was in the game with full
dress and was good.
This little band started things towards
zoboism and soon a largo aggregation
of absurdly costumed players got into
the baud wagon and reeled oil'A Hot
Time" as the curtain WUH rung.
The end men were : Bones Billy
Kersards , Greene ; Billy Van , Storm ;
Neil O'Brien , Bnndick ; Carroll John
sou , Parish. Tambos Geo. Primrose ,
P. H. Salter ; Dan Frohman , Martyu ;
Low Dockstador , Mayor ; Geo.
Thatcher , Tracy.
Intorloctor Win. West , Mr. Daniels.
Others in the chorus were : G. A.
Luikart , Asa K. Leonard , R. R. Smith ,
A. H. Winder , Ralph Braasch , F. H.
Roberts , E. J. Hahn , O. J. Johnson.
This crowd of jolly good fellows kept
things lively throughout with their
merry witticisms and stories and they
certainly deserve much credit. They
were an all star aggregation.
The affair was a success in every par
ticular and the Elks as well as their
director , Mr. Frank II. Daniels , deserve
n great deal of credit.
Following the minstrel , the Elks held
a reception in their club rooms , which
was particularly enjoyable. A mid
night lunch was served , after which
dancing , cards nud billiards were re
sorted to for rounding out an altogether
delightful evening.

Concerning which so much has been
said , is a disintegrated mica'granite. It
has been chemically prepared by the
great fires of nature in prehistoric days ,
BO as to gradually weld together with
all the floxability of asphalt and the
durability of granite. This gravel is
quarried at Sherman , Wyo. , on the
Union Pacific , and used on the road for
abllast. Travelers over the Union
Pacific therefore , escape the dust and
dirt which makes a trip over the lines
of its less fortunate rivals so annoying.
No dust , no dirt , no jarring , smooth
