THE NORFOLK WEEKLY NEWS-JOURNAL. PART TWO , NORFOLK , NEBRASKA , FRIDAY , APRIL 17 , PAGES 9 TO 10 And a Beautiful Easter Day its Happened to Be , Withal. MANYWENT TO THE CHURCHES. .Floral Decorations Wore Fine Music Was Universally Pretty City Had a Good Tlmo Satisfying its Vanity. There Were Easter Eggs. [ From Montlay'n Dally. ] Easter morning , 11)01 ) ! , as anticipated by the weather department , dawned in Norfolk calm nnd clcnr and beautiful. s With n cloudless sky overhead nud a ; < ! pure , dry air to breathe the day was pretty nearly nu ideal one for the joy that it brought to the hearts of men. Very early in the morning , while It ho day was yet fresh , scores of the faith ful walked briskly aljng the streets and avenues for the early services that wore held in a great many of the churches. Later in the morning , when n usio of the Easter ohimos rang forth on the chilly ntmonphore nud stirred n thouRnud homos , people of the cit/ very generally dressed in their prettiest nud went to their respective temples of worship. The floral decorations with which the altars of the churohes were univers ally covered , were things of bonuty nnd the musio for an Easter morning was never more delightful. The Knights Templar attended service in a body at the First Congregational church. . As is usrially true , Easter eggs of vn * rions tints nnd colors played an effect ive part with the little men and little women. Those of the older world took as much pleasure in satisfying their vanity , and the extraordinary display of attractive gowns and pretty hats were a joy forever. DIDN'T ' LIKE THE CHICKENS , J. S. Stitt Tried to Reason With His Neighbor. [ From Wednesday's Dally. ] Sometimes J. O. Stitt takes a notion to garden and keep a lawn , and when he does he heartily dislikes to have the evidence of his handicraft mutilated by the chickens of neighbors. He has been bothered by this common fowl for about n week past and , with a number of assistants , has been persistently herding them into the yard of his neighbor , W. R. Hoffman , thinking he would take the hiu'u . .lid shatrthtmi up. Ho didn't and Mr. Stitt finally concluded to file a personal request that the freedom of the hens be restrained. He approached the subject casually nnd cautiously , and one might say with diplomacy , because if there is anything Stitt hates worse than ohickens , it is to have the ill-will of his neighbors. He got along swim mingly with the matter , after a con versation said to be nn hour or two in length , and ho considered that his rep resentations would prevail without the necessity of n board of arbitration , because his neighbor acted agreeable nntil the last , when he rudely informed the pleader for neighborly fealty that there was but one thing to interfere with such a settlement and that was that he owned no chickens and had owned none for n year. Stitt is no longer surprised that the birds had some - disinclination to being herded in Hoff man's yard , where the picking was no "better than in that of Stitt's. SOCIALLY.

Shorin" J. J.

I The detective was on duty when the s' loot ing took place. "If ho had delayed taking his own lifo for half nn hour , " said the sheriff , "my men would have had him. I am sorry that ho took matters in hia own hands so precipitately ns I should liked to have soon him. However , the matter is now buforo a higher court than wo could summon hero , the county has been saved a considerable expense , and it is possible that the court might not have inflicted ns severe punishment as he has himself administered. " Sheriff Clements has received the following letter giving a few of the de tails : Lincoln , April 12. J. J. Clements , Madison , Nob. Dear Sir : Will Alex- audor is dead. He shot his sweetheart , Irba Young , yesterday , and then killed himself. I heard ho was there nnd had one of onr men go from St. Louis.

Yours Respectively , GIIAS. F. EVAN& . Chief State Detectives. One of yesterday's papers contain the following account of the double killing : Little Rock , Ark. , April 11. This afternoon at Fifth and Scott streets iu this city , Will Alexander , thirty-two years' of ago , shot and seriously wounded Miss Irba Young , Ho then sent a bullet through his own brain. It is thought Miss Young will recover. Alexander , who is the son of Dr. W. G. B. Alexander , n prominent druggist of Carlisle , Ark. , recently returned from the Philippine Islands where hn was n privnto in the Forty-fourth United States Volunteers. Alexander nnd Miss Young , it is claimed , were sweethearts when children , but the Youngs moved away. Miss Young was married to an other man and Alexander to another woman. Both marriages , it is said , were unhappy and divorces resulted in both cases. Many people will readily recall the incidents of the crime. Ciarlos } Hull , the man murdered by Alexander , was an Omaha barber about CO years of age. He came up to Madison for the Fourth and was conducting n gambling game in one of the saloons of the county seat. Alexander was n capper for Hall and claimed that Hall was owing him some money or had beat him out of his wad. About 9 o'clock in the evening he had determined to secure the money by fair means or foul and walked into the saloon , whore ho and Hall had a few words , which resulted in Alexander whipping out n revolver ho had taken from the coat pocket of Charles Bel grade , Hall's partner , and firing a shot through Hall's body. Hall sank to the floor and in an hour and ten minutes was dead. After shooting , with his smoking revolver still in hand aud threatening the other occupants of the room , Alexander proceeded to the gam bling table where he pocketed all the money in sight , securing some sixty or seventy dollars. He then dlsappaarod into the night nnd made for the country. The murderer wns followed to the Ohristinn farm near Madison whore he had been working for three weeks , by Sheriff Clements and Marshal O'Brien , but the follow secured the drop on the officers nnd succeeded iu making bis escape through the dark ness. ness.A A reward of $100 was out for his capture , and someone would soon have earned the money if the murderer had not anticipated action on the part of the officers. MY LITTLE BAREFOOT MAN , He Was Trembling In His Chilled Limbs , but Happy. [ From Tuesday's Dally. ] Over and over again that funny , unexplainable - explainable and quito remarkable trait of human nature asserts Itself , the ouo by virtue of which people in general want to do just what they ought not and by means of which the world , to a largo extent , is kept moving. No clearer case of that very principle is to be found than that of a little street uroliln who was running about in th down town district In Ihn Mttt < rly cold fiostyalr of this morning , trembltiu in ( wury fibre of his body hut gloryiii ) in his hnugnty barefootedIU-BH , crowlni in his independence ever his fellows am Humping over the loy sidewalks will the louder little feet that tt'iould havi boon warmly covered up , .with tin weather forty degrees to the good ol today's maximum. Ho wasn't parttou < lurly comfortable when ho walked int < n saloon to sell his hunch of old bottlci but ho was doing something that ho luu boni forbidden to do ; something thai the others dared not something Indeed tlnit gave him prestige galore and foi that reason he wim living a strcnuom life of eminent happiness , with content' nimit that might bo envied by greatei men than he. HERMAN IN OTHELLO , Omaha Boo Compliments Hio Pro duction at the Doyd. [ From WiMltu'mluy'H Dully. ] OhurluH I ) . Herman and the Wnnlo comp.uiy , who are to present Shako- spoiir'n "Othello" at the Auditorium next Friday night , playud at the Boyd in Omaha Monday night and received a ( initu ( I ittoring write-up from the BUO'H dramatlo critic , who is usually very ohoico regarding the attraction ! ) given space nnd very few of thorn arc given the half-column accorded to Mr. Herman and the Wnrdu company. It says that Mr. Herman well deserves servos the distinction of "sterling aotor" with which ho modestly con tents himself , that the noting of the company is marked by nn intelligence and taste that overcome what slight do * foots they may have that would take from tl.o strength of the play , that Mr. Herman in the minor passages "reads the lines with a fullness of voice that is delightful ; in the inoro impas sioned portions his voice loses much of Us rotundity and to this extent falls short of producing the effects that have won for inoro gifr.ed . actors their tri umphs ns the Moor. His scene with Dosdomonn just before the murder wan most effective , and in the scones follow ing he rose to real strength. MSH ! Roberts has n double advantage in hut role of Djsdomonn ; she is fair nnd comely , ns must have boon the daughter of Brabnntiuo , and she is possessed of a voice that is both powerful and musical , and which is equally flexible and under control. She , too , acquitted herself with much credit. " It will thus bo soon that there is a treat in store for the people of Norfolk for Friday night.

Oi'vo got two sore eyes and n pair o' bad feet and me stomach ueodfi Bomethiu' to fill it. " In the next olock the early morning business man was stopped by a tramp with a red board who had time enough to say , at double speed , "Oi say , inc friend couldn't ye " when the business man got "next" and passed him up , and the cripple in the third block down was cut coldly short just ns ho started to itinnenvro. The police arc after the "profesh" and are clearing them out quite smartly. COLONEL TRACY ON STAFF , Has Been Appointed Aidc-de-Camp By Governor Mickey.
