Speeches were tnado and n very choice banquet was served , Balduff of Omaha being the caterer. The people of Nlo brara took occasion to indicate their joy at the prospects being opened by the railroad extension. The work on the extension is said to bo progressing nicely. Daring the past two weeks Norfolk people hnvo had an opportunity to hoar 'two great bands lanes' and Sousa's aud the latter IH clearly the favorite in this city. Innos doullnuH to unbend from the dignity of classical muslo to win favor from his audience , while Sonsa in willing to give the people a cer tain amount of catchy airs , without sacrificing any of the high features of hid entertainment. From the critical musician's standpoint , it IH probable that the matlnoo by Sousa yesterday af ternoon was not up to the standard of the Innos exhibition of skill , but to the popular mind it was far more enjoyable. Ho was greeted by a good house at the Auditorium and his audience was appre ciative nnd demonstrative , particularly when it was found that his responses to oncoron were to bo lively , catchy music , after which not n number was allowed to pass without a hearty recall. Sousn appears1 the gentleman nnd soonied to enjoy the appreciation with which his oll'orts were received by his audience. Besides a good attendance from Norfolk , many were here from Madison , Battle Greek , Stantou aud other surrounding towns to hoar the march king and his baud. After the mntinoo , the band took a special train for Sioux Olty , where n concert was given iu tlio Grand last evening. QUEER PEOPLE. Dr. Frederick Albert Hatch of Omaha Tolls of Some Ho has Mot. From TlmrwUy'n Dully Dr. Frederick Albert Hatch , pastor of Plymouth Congregational church , of Omaha , entertained at the Indoor chau- tauqua being hold in the M. E. church , last night and tjjoso who had the privi lege of hearing him were highly pleased with that number. Dr. Hatch is a largo man , physically and mentally , aud a very fluent talker. The subject of his lecture was "Queer People" and his remarks wont to prove that his subject was well chosen. Ho divided his queer people into four classes those queer physically , queer mentally , queer socially aud queer re ligiously. Ho pointed out the queerness iu each class and drove home some truths tending to reform some of the queer things that sonio of the queer people plo do. Ho exposed the queer people of the church as well ns the queer people outsldo of the church who ex press contempt of religions societies be cause of the queer people in thorn. The speaker won many friends iu Nor folk nud would no doubt bo greeted by n much larger audience should ho again Visit the city in a similar capacity. Tonight the Schumann Lady Quartet of Chicago , with Miss Edna B. Smith ns reader will bo the attraction and it is probable that the church will be crowded as the entertainers como with excellent recommendations. In this connection the chautauqua management wish it understood that a season ticket is good for but one admission to any one enter tainment , some having the opinion that they can bring in two or more persons if they have missed a number of the events. Tomorrow night Chaplain Jesse Oole of the Iowa Soldiers Homo will lecture , probably on "Four Years at theProut. " Ho was a member of the famous "live eagle regiment" of Wisconsin and is said to bo a master on the platform. Notice for Publication.

Bear in mind that Perry Davis' Pain killer is just as good for internal as for external troubles. It will stop the agonizing cramps in the bowels whlnh follows exposure to cold and wet when taken internally , and will cure strains , sprains and bruises when applied extern . It should be ally. administered in warm water , slightly sweetened. There is but ono Painkiller , Perry Davis' . Worse Than a Blow from a hard fist is the buffet of cold wind upon a pair of unprotected lungs. A few minuets exposure to cold mav bo the beginning of consumption. Lose neither time nor courage. Fortify yourself against pulmonary troubles , in cluding consumption , with Allen's Lung Balsam. A few doses will loosen the cough and enable you to get rid of the phlegm that produces It. Cure soon follows. LIFE'S UPS AND DOWNS.

" The man solemnly promised that ho would not. The governor looked doubt ful , mused n few minutes nnd snld : "You will go back on the river nnd be n mate again , 1 suppose ? " The mnn replied that ho would. "Well , I want you to promise mo ono thing , " resumed the governor. "I wnnt you to pledge your word thnt when you nro mnto ngnln you will never tnke n billet of wood in your hand nnd drlvo n sick boy out of a bunk to help you lend your bent on n stormy night. " The steamboat man snld he would not nud inquired what the governor meant by asking him such n question. The governor replied : "Because some day thnt boy may become a governor , and you mny wnnt him to pnrdon you for a crime. One dark , stormy night , many years ngo , you stopped your beaten on the Mississippi river to take on a load of wood. There was a boy on board who wns working his passage from New Orleans to St. Louis , but ho wns very sick of fever and wns lying in a bunk. You had plenty of nien to do the work , but you went to that boy with n stick of wood in your hand and drove him with blows nnd curses out Into the wretched night nnd kept him tolling like n slave until the load wns completed.

Thnt York shire Bchoolmnsters were , ns n rule , cruel nnd wicked enough It Is true , but he particular schoolmaster who was ecognlzod nnd who recognized him self ns the original Squeers seems to mve been nu exception to the nile. It will be remembered thnt Dickens and his illustrator traveled together to the north of England for the pur- IORO of collecting nmterlnl for "Nlck- eby" nnd especially for the Dothc- joys episode. At Great Bridge they visited n bonrdlng school known ns Bowes ncndeuiy.
