An encampment of patriarchs I. O * O. F. will bo instituted at Wakofiold next Wednesday evening. 0. E. Doughty of tais city , past grand chief patriarch , has been invited to take charge of the cere mony. Gardners aud other people have planted their hot beds , some have com mence. ! on their gardens , lawns aud premises are being cleared of the trash accumulated during the winter , so that spring work may be s.ild to bo..fairly in- unguraied. The Washington correspondent of the State Journal in this morning's issue , gives the following gratifying paragraph concerning the status of Norfolk's pub lic building bill : "There is basis for the belief that the Norfolk and Hastings public building bills will be favorably reported. " This is the first day of spring according to astronomical calculations as recorded iu the almanac and the weather seems to perfectly agree with that finding. It has certainly been a very beautiful day and the birds , animals aud other insects have endeavored to show their approval of the advent of the vernal equinox. John Huber , for 81 years a resident of ColumbuH , died in that city Wednesday , at the ago of 74 years. During the early days , before Norfolk was connected with ihe outer world by rail , Mr. Huber car ried the mail to and from this city , then a struggling frontier village. The old timers will no doubt remember him. Mrs Julia Wiltse of Lincoln has been awarded damages in the amount of $1- ' 300 against the Lincoln Gas and Electric Light company , because a decayed polo belonging to that company toppled over on her husband and killed him. She sued for $5,000 but the court evidently come to the conclusion that BUG had suffered no such loss. After consultation with the commit tee having it in charge , it has been de cided to postpone the social session of the Elks , which was announced to beHeld Held this evening , until a later date , on account of the cantata of Rath in the Auditorium. Tomorrow evening the election of officers of Elks lodge will take place , the hour for which has been fixed at' ) :05 : , thus allowing time for the mem bers living south to arrive on the Union Pacific at 9 o'clock. The state board has just closed a con tract with Alfred Osborn for setting out aud caring for shade trees on the hospital grounds. The new well has also been completed , of greater capacity than any heretofore used. It is an 8-inch well , equipped with a Cook pump and sand screen. Water was found at 125 feefc with an 11 feet strata of sand. The standpipe has also been completed and is now ready for any use or emergency that may take place. A number who were permitted to see the dress rehearsal for the cantata of Ruth which will be presented at the Auditorium this evening are enthusias tic iu their praise for the entertainment and are confident that these who attend will enjoy an agreeable surprise regard- , tug its merit as a home produgtion.1 The drilling is said to be fine , the voices excellent and well trained , the ccs- turning and scenery presented | are artis-l tic aud natural and all members of thq cast have their parts well in hand. The leading parts are strong and well fitted ( or the charactersLand one who saw it is enthusiastic enough tq assert 'that it is the prettiest production eyer given in Norfolk. F.
