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.

KILLED HALL AT MADISON ,
Shot Sweetheart and Then Sent Bul

lives Were on Watch and Would
Have Had Him In Half an Hour.
[ From Tuesday's Dally. ]
Will J. Alexander , who , on the night
of last Fourth of July , shot nnd killed
Charles Hall , n gambler , ivt Madison , in
himself dead at Little Hook , Ark. , n
bullet from n revolver fired by himself
being the cause of his demise , nftor an
unsuccessful attempt to tnko the life of
his sweetheart , Irbu Young.
Shorin" J. J. Clements , who came over
from Mudison yesterday was soon and
he is prepared to substantiate the story
appearing in one of the morning papers ,
commoting the Little Hock suicide with
the murder nt Madison. The sUorilT
has been on n still hunt for his man
over since the crime was oomuii
He had ascertained that Alexander hud
a girl at Little Hook nud had placet do-
tectivos on watch at her house. 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. Ho
wired me that ho was watching Miss
Young's house for him when the shoot
ing took place nt Fifth nud Scott streets.
Am sorry wo were not n little sooner ,
as I would liked to hnvo brought him
back here. Wo will probably get the
news in the papers. If not , will write
to you when my man reports to mo by
letter. 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

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.

breakfast ? 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"

turn a bit of attention toward the diamond
mend and the prospects for a winning
ball team in Norfolk this summer.
As yet nothing at all definite has been

seem to a man up a tree , was never
more propitious in the world for fast
