That fine Italian brand of weather i * still In uvidunce with no prospects of nn immodinto lot-up. During the past few days there have been some threats of n chnngo but it has not yet been accom plished. The wind continues from the south nud during mid-day the bun is almost uncomfortably hot. It in a beautiful season and the weather clerk hns the unanimous content of the people to continue the order up to Christmas. Columbus Journal : John Schmockor was , in Norfolk last week , nud while there hnd the pleasure of reading n paper , the Ulster County , Pa. , Gazette , owned by Mr. Hitchcock , which wns dated January ! , IfeOO. The paper wns the memorial number containing the notice of the death of George Washing- ton. Mr. Hitchcock values the pnper highly and It Is wonderfully well preserved - served for passing through so many years. In taking a deposition in the case of Mrs. Martha Daniels against the Fre mont Tribune in a suit for libul ouo of the alleged lending witnesses for the prosecution who claimed to bo n detect ive , was so badly tangled up by the at torney for Hammond Bros , that his tcs- timouy finally resulted in perjury nnd warrants nro now out for his arrest on that charge. When the witness saw what n moss ho wns gutting into ho ashed to be excused from the room for n moment ami has not since been seen. Manager Spear of the Auditorium has made arrangements to carry South Norfolk patrons , who purchased 00- cent tickets , home free after each entertainment. This should be quite an inducement to the theatre-goers in that pnrt of town who have heretofore found that with n 20-cont hackfnre their attendance has cost them 70 cents. With the management of the house paying half of the extrn expenses they will undoubtedly be nitre free to nttend entertainments nt the Audi torium. A motley crowd took the homo of Mrs. C. M. Janes by storm last evening , the occasion being the birthday of Mrs. Janes. The affair wns a complete sur prise and thoroughly enjoyed both by "coons" and white people. Miss Porter carried off the palm as the "swellest nigger" there. The ladies presented the hostess with a beautiful china cream and sugar. Those present were : Mesdnmes Blakeumn , Lngger , West , Shaw , Tappert , Carpenter , Hyde and Cole ; Misses Porter , Bender , Florence and Mabel Estabrook , and Miss Kohl- man. The mother of Oscar Uhle , the east end grocer , died quite suddenly this morning at 0 o'clock at his homo. She hnd been iu her usual health uutil four or five days ago , since which time she has experienced a repugnance for food and has eateu little or nothing. The name of the deceased wns Christiana Schroth nnd she was 7H years of ago. She has been mnkiug her home with her sou in this city for the pnst year. She has nnother son in Omaha who has been telegraphed for and the funeral arrangements will not be completed un til he is heard from. Manager Spear's private office at the Auditorium is about completed and ho hns neat nud convenient quarters that are very much of an improvement over the old arrangement. There is now room for two desks , besides the chairs ana other nrticles of furniture needed. The walls have been adorned with posters and the 'room presents n very neat and comfortable appearance. In addition to the telephone a private con nection has been made with the stage and the manager can direct the affairs of the house at both ends without leav ing his oflico. A gas heater will be in stalled to keep the temperature right. Bonesteel , S. D. , Pilot : N. H Darten of Washington , D. O , United States geological surveyor , was in the city Saturday. Ho made a drive over the reservation with a view of locating the line of the glacial drift. The Burut Rock , four miles west of Bone- steel , wns found to be the southern and eastern extremity with the western , ex treme in the Black Hills. Ho was very much interested iu the largo bone in Dr. Kenaston's drag store nnd pro nounced it the ulun of n mastodon. While hero Mr. Darteu located the elevn- tion of Bonesteel as compared with the Missouri river at Wheeler ferry , a point twelve miles northeast of hnrn. nnrl found it to be 850 feet higher. A Winsido' dispatch says that the farmers in that section nro having n serious time with hog cholera or some other fatal disease. Some farmers nre reported to have lost their entire herd and they feel the loss keenly owing to the high price being paid for pork. Some precaution should bo taken to prevent Its spread. At the pres ent prices for pork au epidemic of hog cholera through the state would bo disastrous , not only to the producer but to the consumer. One Wiusido farmer brought three hogs and throe loads of wheat to market , and is said to have received more for the three animals than ho did for the three loads of grain. The moral is plain : Turn the wheat into pork. THURSDAY TIDINGS. Dr. U F. Gay \\i\a down from TlltU'ii yesterday. MrH. lllloy visited In the city yeRtcr- dny from Plerco.

Venablo of Battle Creel : is iu the city today visiting friends. She nud her family expect to leave Tuesday for California , where they will make their home. Chief of Police Kauo this morning re ceived n message instructing him to bo on the lookout for burglars who hnd en tered a store at Pilger last night , blown the safe and taken valuable property. The farm implements and stock of Williaii. Westervelt , who has been sick at the home of his parents in this city for a long time , have been bold and the family will make their home in Nor folk in the future. They are having prosperity at Ne braska City. A'firm of contractors there were absolutely stalled in their work the other day because after n search of the highways and byways of the town they absolutely fniled to find au idle man who was willing to work. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Sidler left this morning for Chicago where Mr. Sidler goes to resume his position in the Piano machine shops for the winter. He held the same position with the company last winter nnd during the summer hns been doing expert work in this part of the state.

The work is pro gressing \ery sntisfnctorily in all its parts and it is hoped by the company to be able to furnish gas to consumers west of the tracks at the end of two weeks. Mrs. 0. S. Lobingier of Omaha , rep resenting the state federation of woman's clubs , appeared before the state board of charities and corrections at Lincoln recently and asked the bonrd to recommend a Inw providing for juvenile courts. A bill with this end in view will bo introduced nt the coming session of the legislature , also it will bo recommended that men who abandon their families bo given ade quate punishment.

Nobrnskn City people are congratulat ing themselves over the fact that they expect soon to realize the benefits of nn electric street car line which will also connect with n number of surrounding towns. Sovernl carloads of the mater ial necessary for the construction of the line have been received nnd it is expected - pected that work will begin at an early date. This is undoubtedly part of the system that is to bo used to connect several of the important towns of the eastern pnrt of tuo stnto nud it was re ported would be built townrd Norfolk.

The funeral of MrH. ChiiHtlana Sehrotli , mother of Ohcar Uhlc , WIIH held from the hon's homo thlH afternoon at : ) o'clock , HorviccB being con ducted by Rev. Mr. Pfolffer. the Luth- ornn minister from Madison , nnillnlor- mont being in the now Lutheran eomo- tory north of the city. A largo nunibir of friendH followed the ronmitiH to tliolr last renting place. Hmil Sohroth , him of the deceased arrived from Omaha at noon to attend the funeral. There in a daughter in Chicago hut she was nimble to come to the funeral. Another son , Otto , lives inthiHclty andonoof thoboyH of the family went to Manila with a Kan- t-uH legiment and has not been hoard from Blnco. "Billio" Ferguson was rcBpoiiBiblii for some excitement in the city this morn ing by reporting that the son of Frank Hrndy had been drowned in the North- fork , below the dam "I BUW him fall in myself , " caid Billio. "Mo and Charlie Liorman and a show fellow were passing just ns the boy was throw ing out n t'row line about 5 o'clock thin morning. Ho fell in and was drowned. I saw him myself. " investigation re vealed thnt Liorman had bt > on in bed at the time mentioned and it further re vealed the fact that the Brndy boy wns alive nnd well. It is not believed that Ferguson would intentionally circulate a story that wasn't true and the natural deduction is that "Billio" had boon geeing - ing things that no one else saw. It wns the opinion of Hoyoral who saw Robert Sherman's comedy-drama , "My Friend from Arkaufiaw , " as pro- bontcd nt the Auditorium last night that it was the best entertainment thnt 1ms boon given in the Audi torium since the season opened. The hotibo that giectul the com pany , however , was discourngingly light. The production in quite similar to others of the snme chnrnctor that have been given popular runs this season , in fact soinoaro of the opinion that dramas based on scones in Arkansas hive been so frequent as to have become almost monotonous , and n desire for a changehns been expressed. The vari ous characters were nil well assumed last night and the members of the com pany nro nbovotho average in profi ciency. Fred King of Edgowatcr pail ; is suf fering from a bad leg , the result of an encounter with an infuriated hog on Tuesday. He wns in the pen endeav oring to separate the hogs nnd was driving them with n club when the lender of the herd objected to the proceedings , turned on Mr. King nnd before ho could defend himself or escape , the angry nuimaljhad bitten him ssverely in the leg. The beast's sharp tusks penetrated to the bone and tore nway the flesh to the depth of two or three inches. The wound wns given prompt surgical attention and it is hoped that it may not prove serious. The bite of a hog often proves very poisonous and gives a lot of trouble to the person bitten but it is hoped that in Mr. King's case this may not result nud the wound may not prove worse than any ordinary fiesh wound. H. E. Hardy has received through a letter from Mrs. F. E. Hardy of Eureka , Cal. , news of an accident to Mr. Hardy , of which his Norfolk friends will bo pniued to learn , although pleased to know that it had no serious results. Mr. Hardy is employed in a lumberyard nt Earekn nnd while engaged in his usual dntitB on Friday , the 10th , ho had the misfortuue to fall , backwards , from an elivated tramway to the ground , a dis tance of 20 feet. As Mrs. Hardy says : "It is a marvel that ho was not in stantly killed , but as in happened there was no lumber just there ivud ho struck the ground. A launch was telephoned for nnd he wns brought across the bay to a doctor's ofllco. An examination proved that his injuries wore not ser ious , two ribs being loosened from their fastenings but not broken. His side , back nnd bins nro bruised nud sore , but it is thought that he hns sustained no permnneut injuries. " A later report from Mrs. Hardy snys thnt Mr. Hnrdy is getting along nicely nnd will , it is thought , soon bo nble to work. mentis May Invade Political Field. Imllnnnpolls. Oct. 23.

The drift of events iu domocrntio quarters indicates thnt the party will bo ready to outer another pictorial cam paign two years from now. Many will remember the posters issued by that party some years ago to illustrate how the people were taxed by the tariff. The poor man's dinner pail , his coat , socks , shoes , knife and fork , and other articles of every day use were represented with the tariff charges attached. Mr. Bryan nud other orators carried n collection of these things with which to illustrate their points. They were effective , too. Anyway the people believed whnt wns said nud they decided to got rid of this tax by putting the democrats in power. They were rid of a portion of the tax : they were rid of n nezcysity of using a dinner pail ; they were rid of n good many other things not on the demo cratic cntnlogne , chief of those being the prosperity of the country. They com plained bitterly of their lot , aud free soup houses and Coxey armies were es tablished , while business failures and financial crashes were overy-dny occur rences , nnd calamity , depression and want stalked through the laud. As was before remarked this method of cam paign wns successful then , but it will not bo ngnin. Voters will not forgot in an ordinary lifetime what domocrntic tariff reform really means nud they will bo very certnin not to entrust demo cracy with n similar contract in this generation. New York Dog Show. New York , Oct. 23. The sporting dog clement was very strongly repre sented In the Ladles' Kennel associa tion show at Madison Square Garden.
