The morohanta have ( inito effectually
difiposod of thuir winter stookd of goods
nnd are i > ow patiently waiting for the
opening of spring and laying in a stock
of now and doslrablo goods for their
custom. During the spring and sum
mer It is anticipated that there will boa
good lively trade and the merchants are
planning to make the most of it.
By the action of the city authorities ,
snpplimonted by the otTorts of enter
prising citizens the walks were more effectually -
foctually cleared of the recent fall of
flnow than at any time during recent
years after a similinr storm. It has
been a great convenience to pedestrians
and it i hoped that it will provo so
satisfactory that similar treatment maybe
bo employed following each subsequent
storm.
The company that presented "Tho
Christian" at the Auditorium last night
was very evenly balanced throughout
and gave excellent satisfaction to those
who attended the performance. Miss
Clara Blaudiok as "Glory Quaylo" is an
notn-ss of genuine talent. Her voice is
flexible and her conception of the
character was ( lawless. Stauton Elliott
as , "John Storm" gave her excellent
support and several of the scenes were
thrillingly dramatic. The audience
was chary of its applause but it is be
lieved that the efforts of the company
were heartily appreciated. Those who
saw the play and also that of the
numteur company headed by Itev.
Franklin Bttkor and Miss Esther Mason
that presented "Tho Christian" a year
ngo were afforded an opportunity for
comparison , and it is no discredit to the
professional company to say that the
amateurs approximated them in merit ,
eo far a ? the loading members of the
cast are concerned. Rev. Mr. Baker
nud Miss Mason had a conception of
their parts that was almost perfect and
with the practice aud experience that
have been enjoyed by the o taking the
parts last night , might fairly have
rivalled them in merit. The next ap
pearance of the Liebler company is at
Kearney , where they appear tonight.
The next attraction nt the Auditorium
is"v7nlkir Whitoaido in "Richard III"
which is to ho presented Monday even
ing , February 10. This willow Mr.

Norfolk audience. It will ho remem
bered that the Auditorium was Opened
by him in "Hamlet" which ho followed
with "Tho Red Cockade" the next
night , nnd subsequently he presented
"Heart and Sword. " Those who have
seen him in those productions are con
fident that no trouble will be exper
ienced in filling the Auditorium on the
10th , as he is one of the most finished
actors that a Norfolk audience has had
the pleasure of hearing aud Hoeing. Ho
IB at homo in Spakespeare and many
will anxiously await his presentation of
"Rrchald III. "

kind you read about in verso. Jack
Frost had been energetic aud had strung
the wires and trimmed the trees in diamonds
mends of the finest water they were
water because Old Sol spoiled the effect

A hostess who issued invitations to a
"card party" not long ago had the
courage to underline in rod ink "two
o'clock , " says the Sioux City Tribune.
If that is not plain I do not know what
s , aud yet I'll wager that from six to a
[ lozou of the guests came straggling In
at from 2:80 : to ! ! or 8 : DO. Unless yon
are in the sot of card-playing women
yon do not know or cannot realize how
badly some of the guests treat their

nil smiling and sweet , made her ap
pearance at 8 o'clock and only made the
excuse , "Oh hotter late than never. "

I couldn't help being lato. " If cards
say 3 o'clock for an afternoon at
euchre , it moans 2 o'clock.

conscious. Mrs. Henry was given med
ical attendance and was soon restored to
consciousness though it was some time
afterward that she was completely re
stored to health. The water is heated
by an attachment in which the oity gas
is used and it is supposed that the fire
was extinguished in some manner and
that the gas , instead of being buiiied ,
escaped into the room with the nbovo
result.
Loved Their Little Brother.
fKrom MondmN Dully ]
J. K. Smith relates a little anecdote
that aptly illustrate iuo love nnd af
fection implanted in thn human heart
by the Creator oven beyond the pale of
civilization. Lastv\ecv ! while he and
Judge Williams , of Pierce , were in
Niobrnra they met an Indian family on
the street. The Equnw had strapped on
her back a little red baby boy , loss than
a mouth old. The judge paused a mo
ment and finally pounaded mamma
Indian to take the wee redman out of
his warm nest. Ho was a bright little
fellow whose eyes shone nnd twinkled
like twin stars. The judge had never
seen a real live native American baby
and , 'tis said he opened his eyes iu
wonder wide , as the proud mother
placed her untamed son in the arms of
h's ' honor , the court. It was dressed in
warm clothes , rich" with co'ored bead
work which its loving parents had made
with their own hands. The grim vis-
aged buck and his two little girls looked
s"ently on while the baby was in the
stranger's hands. The judge playfully
remarked that he wonld buy the tiny
'Injun" which the parents took as a
joke. Then he took a dollar , offered it
to Mr. Pawnee , pointed to the babe and
then to himself. The little girls under
stood this and with n cry of dismay
sprang to the side of their mother aud
begged her , in Pawnee , not to sell their
baby brother. The judge sustained [ the
objootion nnd promptly handed back
Sun and nir or whatever his name is.
The little loving sisters then dried their
tears and soon were happy again. And
yet those Indians are uncivilized.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
[ From Thursiliiy'H Dally ]
Miss Elizabeth Sharplefs nnd Miss
Stella Luikart , ' 01 , visited the school

The pupils who applaud a lecture
against applauding are not unknown in
the high school.
The junior class play "A Rank De
ception" has boon postponed one week

Those who attend the singing school
are remarked by the fatigue the exhibit
when it comes to their regular school
work.

by the entire high school some time in
the near future. It is entitled "Our
Boys" .
Some of the pupils have not boon
judicious in their snow balling sports
and direct the missiles against the girls
or anyone else coming within raugo.
The seniors and freshmen were
amused by the eleotrio light men pound
ing in the attio Thursday. Electric
lights are being placed in the basement.
The course of study contemplates
some knowledge of reading but some of
the freshmen act as though they had
never soon a reading book during their
school experience.
Friday morning a quartet composed
of pupils of the high school furnished
singing and it was remarked that the
school has excellent talent for the or
ganization of a glee club.
The Norfolk high school is remark
able throughout the state for the nota
ble absouco of tardy marks. Some

RHEUMATISM CURED AT LAST.
Good News to All who Suffer With
Rheumatism Free.
To all who suffer with rheumatism I
will gladly send free the wonderful
story of how my mother was cured
after years of suffering , together with
the most elaborate treatise on rheuma
tism ever published.
No matter what your form of rheu
matism is , whether acute , chronic ,
muscular , inflammatory , deformant ,
sciatic , neuralgia , gout , lumbago , etc
no matter how many so-called "sure
cures" yon have tried I want you to
write to me and lot me tell you how
mother was cured.
I am neither a doctor nor a professor
simply a plain man of business but
I have a cure for rheumatism , and I
want to tell everyone who suffers with
rheumatism all about it. I wish to be
clearly understood , and trust that all
who are suffering with this terrible
disease , however , apparently beyond
the roach of cure , will write to me this
day nnd I will send you by return mail
this work of mine. I appeal especially
to the "chronically ill" who are wearied
and discouraged with "doctoring" and
to those who have boon cast aside aa
"incurable. " All yon have thought
about rheumatism may bo wrong. Lot
mo tell yon our experience. Surely , if
you have a suffering friend , It will pay
yon to investigate my offer , anyway ,
and provo for yourself these claims I
make.
Send me your address today a postal
card will do and I will mail you this
wonderful story. If yon have any
friends suffering with rheumatism no
matter where located , send mo their
address , and I will mall them a copy.
My address is Victor .Rainbolt , Bloomfield -
field , Ind.
