The snake-eater has pulled down his tent and silently stolen away for new fields and new audiences to delight with his artistic and elevating exhibition of crueltyv dumb animals. A. Kiniball Barnes has so far re covered from his recent siege of typhoid fever that ho was able to be down town this morning for the first time. Mr. Barnes expects to leave next week for the university at Lincoln where ho will teach. W. W. Roberts , representing the In surance companies 1msadjusted with the school board the loss on the high seltool building by reason of its having boon struck by lightning during the summer. Ho paid them $ ! U 82 , which was the oost of making the necessary repairs. There is certainly a variety of carni val weather , though not of the right kind , on tap. This forenoon the wind changed to the north and with smoke and drizzly accompaniments proved for from agreeable to those who wished to bo out of doors on pleasure or for other purposes. The sudden change made warm clothing and n little lire quite agreeable. Mr. and Mrs. P. W. , Koo'bor enter- taiued a company of about sixty friends at Railway hall last even ing in observance of their twelfth wed ding anniversary. Cards and dancing wore the order of the evening and were thoroughly enjoyed until about 1 o'clock this morning. First prizes were awarded to F. Holliugsworth and Miss Lucy Schaffer while Harry Hull' and Miss Katie Dugau received the consol ation prizes. Mr. and Mrs Koorbor re ceived many valuable presents , some of which wcio fine linen. The republican state committee has notified the local committees that Hon. A C Ruukin the inolder orator , will be in Norfolk for n political address on Tuesday , September HO , and the com mittee has rented the vacant building at the corner of Norfolk avenue and Third street for the rally. Mr. Ranklii is a steve molder by trade and has a national reputation as an orator of ability. He is a member of thoinolders' union at Pittsburg , Pa. , and was the first treasurer of the national federation of labor. He is n master of economics and his address will bo of interest to all , regardless of party. Manager Sprecher of the telephone ex change has sent in a requisition fora now switch board and it is considered that a board of about 500-wiro capacity would be the proper thing. A ! 500-wiro board was put in about 18 mouths ago and at that time it was considered that it would furnish ample itccomodatiou for years to come. It had grown through the successive stages of 100- wire and 200-wire capacities in remark ably short periods of time and it is now considered from past experience that n 600-wire board would not anticipate the demand for a great while. The 300- wire board is almost full , and enough new telephones have been ordered to tax its capacity to the limit. Norfolk people are finding telephones not only a convenience but a necessity and the list of subscribers has been increasing con stantly. Present Carnival Claims.

Inquire of A. T Pettitt , Norfolk. Safe at Implement Office - Touched Last Night. WATCHED AND RING TAKEN. Entrance Was Through Front Door of the Office Light Fingered Gen try Were Not Looking for Notes But Took Gold. The agricultural implement olllce of II. 0. Sattlor was entered hint night by a burglar or burglars and the safe robbed. Ontsido of two gold watches and a ring the loss was not heavy. A number of notes in the safe wore not molested , The ollico was entered through the front door which has only an ordinary lock. The outer door of the safe was loft unlocked and the thieves had llttlo diillculty in opening the inner doors. The burglars were quite gentlemanly in their conduct. Nothing unusual was noted about the ollico this morning except that acurtnin not used ordinarily , an awning taking its place , was pulled down and several partly burned matches wore on the lloor. Mr. Sattlor did not discover his IOSH until the mfo was opened this morning. Onu of the watches taken was a gen tleman's gold watch that formerly belonged - longed to Mr. Suttler's father and the other was a lady's gold watch that had boon prebonted by him to his first wife on their wedding day. The ring was their wedding ring. Therefore , while the intrinsic value of the articles taken was not largo , their ashociatiou made them valuable to Mr. Saltier and ho would undoubtedly consent to ignore the crime and pay full value for the articles taken without asking quest ions should they bo restored. The watch was engraved with Mrs. Battler's name and the date oflheir wedding , February 2 , 1887. The job must have been done when the night watch was in the other end of town as a person could not have been detected entering the front door of a man's place of business at that hour when the burglary was committed with out awakening suspicion.

The seniors are preparing to publish a Milestone this year and are already so liciting advertising for the publication. There was not much school during the carnival dates.

An eager of crowd of perhaps ( H ) people gathered in the vacant storeroom of the Pacific block last night to see the wrestling and boxing contest. The paucity of the crowd indicated suspicion of the contest and doubtful expressions of those present indicated that they hud without largo expectations. The room IIIIB been fitted with seats and a ring liad been roped oil in the center while a nniiiber of locnl sports assisted at the details The1 program was opened with M > mo balancing and tumbling feats by Dan Murphy announced on the bills to bo from Sun Francisco , He balanced any thing at hand from a chair to a broom straw , and it was perhaps the best ap preciated portion of the program. A wrestling match was next between Mr. Murphy and W. J. Huston of Omaha , best two out of three , catch as catch can. After n struggle of several minutes Murphy downed Huston , then Huston reversed things by downing Murphy. This inspired Murphy with a desire to bet and he offered anything from $5 to 25 that ho would take the next fall. No * takers appeared until finally ono man , who afterward proved to bo one of the boxers , said he would take $5 worth. But right hero there was a genuine interruption. A man stepped out of the audience and countrd out . * 50 on the ring floor that ho could produce a man who could throw either of them tomorrow night or in two weeks. Mr. Murphy lost all desire for a bet and dodged more or less gracefully the imputation of not being sporty by hurrying on the next bout. Of course Murphy won , as everyone know ho would unless there had been greater in ducements for the other fellow to win. It was really a very clover struggle and the men showed up some fine forms , strong muscles and neat tricks. The next was a ton-round glove con test between Terry Muslin of Omaha and Charley Brown of Chicago "for a purse of $200. " It opened with a fierce protest from Brown because ho judged that Mustiu had an avoirdnpoii advan tage of him. The crowd thought so likewise , and the grit of the lighterman was applauded when he decided to go on with the mill regardless. There wore no demands for bets on this event either , so the two went at it. They worked their dukes energetically. Some times the one dealt the other a biff ant sometimes the order was reversed Sometimes they both landed together. Officers were there to interfere should the laws be disegarded , but they kept mum , except to quiet the kids who were trying to peek through the windows. The first round was fought without re sults. Jabs , upper cuts , body and head blows , clinches and smiles were ex changed quite frequently up to the sixth inning when Brown went down. Ho thought he would get right up again , but the referee commenced to conn ! time until seven or eight was counted when he struggled to his feet and the fight was on again. In the seventh there was some lively side stepping Mustin was the aggressor , but his slighter antagonist could not evade him Ho was crowded to the ropes and a blow dealt him and he fell in a heap and while the referee had forgotteli to count he was declared out by th o mu tual consent of the crowd. He was bleeding sweat from every pore and he must have been out. Some one yellec "foul" bnt the , , victor thought that an unjust imputation and promptly called the objector down. This made it necessary for the trainer of the van qnished to come to the front and state that his man had been retired fairly and that ho had no protest to make. The throng surged out and then surged in again. An important discovery hoc been made. Brown had received u frac tured rib , the same as they generally do in such contests. He was not perman ently disabled , however , and it was an- nounoed by Houston this morning thai ho had loft for homo "with quite a swelling on his side. " Foil SALE.
