Radical Change in the Passen
ger Service For This City.
TWO TRAINS DAILY GO WEST.
iBoncstoel Passenger Train Will Run
on Sundays Will Solve the Ques
tion of Sunday Noon Mall Will Run
'Into Omaha Union Station.
IFrom Monday's Dally. ]
What id without doubt the most
radical change over made in the passenger -
ger service of the Northwestern rail
road loading into Norfolk , will very
b\ \ ' likely bo executed uoxc Sunday morn-
i 'ing whou a now time curd that has boon
drawn up in the office of Superin
tendent Reynolds and is now awaiting
the approval of Omaha officers of the
company , Is planned to take effect.
With the now service that is planned ,
Norfolk will got ouo moro train west to
Ijong Pine and return , every day except -
copt Sunday aud a Sunday train on the
Bouesteol road , whioh has never been
'ran before and whioh will solve the
Sunday noon mail proposition.
For years there has boon a doslro
among the traveling public aud business
man of this city that a midday train to
the west might bo run. The now
'schedule completely fills thi < long
felt want. The train will louvo Nor
folk Jauotioa every day except Sunday
nt 12:20 : p. in. aud arrive at Long Pine
at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Return
ing , it will leave Long Pine at 1:45 : in
the morning aud reach this city at 0:05 : ,
in time to connect with the Omaha
passenger from Bouestoel. On this
train passengers arriving from Sioux
City on the C. St. P. M. & O. at 10:45 :
may go on west within an hour aud a
half. It will also make it possible for
persons west to come into Norfolk early
in the morning aud return either at noon
t or night , as they choose.
; The Bonosteel Sunday train will bo
irun on the same schedule as the week
day time cafd. It will give persons on
that line a chance to get to Norfolk Sun
day mornings where before they have
had to como Saturday afternoons or not
at all. It will also bring in the Sunday
nocn mail that has been missing for
several weeks.
Another alteration contemplated by
the new card is the change of track
which the Bonesteel passenger iuto
Omaha will nse from Irvingtou on.
Hereafter this train will rui iuto tht
union station at Omaha , instealof tin
Webster street depos. It will go in by
way of South Omaha , in order to make
close connections with the O. , &N. W.
trains for Chicago. This is an experi
ment and later it is possible that all
train's will run in by this route.
The figures for the now schedule have
beou submitted to the Omalu offices and
now awaits their approval or rejection.

. [ From Monday's Dally. ]
f. , Charles Nordwig , who came to this
jsjjk city last week with his child in order
f' ' S * to got away from the unworthy mother ,
) egau work this morning in the tailor-
f ing shop of F P. Fueslor. From Sioux
City reports , the woman has decided to

Mr. Nordwig has a large number of
friends in Norfolk and all of them

He has always been a hard worker aud
a man deserving the highest esteem
of his fellows and in his misfortune
they feel that he has boon given the
worst end of a bad bargain. In being
able to work and live for his baby girl
he will be , ho said this morning , the
happiest man in the world.
IMPROVE THE CITY ,
' Committee Offers Suggestions for
Continuance of the Work.
[ From Saturday's Dally. ]
Norfolk , May 2. Last summer there
was a strong effort made to improve the
appearance of our little city. The
movement was headed by a joint com
mittee from the Commercial club and
Women's club , very ably assisted by the
merchants and citizens.
The result was most gratifying to all
concerned. Our lawns were never so
well kept ; our alleys were as a rule free
from the unsightly tin can and rubbish
heap ; the flower beds aud gardens
showed great care and good taste , and
a half dozen of our vegetable gardens
were works of art.
This year our mayor commenced this
good work by his Arbor Day proclama
tion requesting merchants and all citi
zens to clean up about their premises.
The school board gave a half holiday on
the same day in order that the children
might do some work of this nature.
There is much to be done if our city
looks even as well as it did last summer.
There are too many papers blowing
through the streets ; too many alleys
unrelieved of the rubbish which accu
mulated through the winter ; the vacant
lots are very unsightly if weeds are al
lowed to grow upon them , and the neigh
bors throw all of their lubbish over
there instead of having it drawn away
* * to the dumping ground.
In some cases the effect of a well kept
lawn was spoiled last year by the park
outside of the walks being neglected.
It is hoped that all of these sugges-
tions will bo received in the kindly
spirit In which they are glron and
acted upon now ns it is * tiuio of year
; obogin such work.
Lost year represent v < > . , * committee -
mittoo called upon the f0 * 'd
requested the prizes which * ifgf
erously given , and so much i\\ \ > t O c
jy the recipients. The commlttu
not fool like asking this favor again o.
: ho inorahantR , but if any foul inclined
; o offer prizes again they will gladly
take charge of thorn , aud the awarding
of them. There is no doubt that the
arizes wore an incentive to the boys last
year and would bo again thin. If the
uierohanto wish to offur any prizes they
may communicate with any member of
the Civic commlttoo from the Woman's
club : Mrs. A. J. Durland , Mrs. O. H.
[ loynolds , Mrs. Robt. Utter , or with
Mayor Koonigstoln , Mr. Turner or O. 0.
Gow of the Commercial club.
AMATEUR THEATRICAL.
Our Boys" Will be Presented Satur
day Night With Added Features.
[ From Monday's Dally. ]
"Our Boys" is the title of th > comedy-
drama to be given by the pupils of the
dgh school Saturday night for the bone-
It of the manual training department
This is a refiuod ontortaiumout and 1ms
the reputation of being played 1,500
nights in the Strand theatre , London.
The cast is headed by Miss Nellie Hand-
oy and Clyde Bullock , is of the best
material that the school affords and
those who are in a position to know art )
confident that the people who attend
will bo thorougly entertained. In ad
dition to the play there will bo other
features that , alone , will be worth the
price of admission. The glee club , com
posed of forty voices will sing , and there
will bo vocal and instrumental solos of
rare merit. The object of the play is a
worthy ouo and patrons of the school
will encourage the young folks in their
efforts , beyond a doubt , if for no other
reason than to bo well ontertaiued by
them.
THE CAUSE OF IT ALL ,
Little Daughter is Blissfully Ignorant
of Her Worth.
[ From Saturday's Dally. ]
Up on north Tenth street , a block
from Norfolk avenue , a little 8 year-old
girl is playing and laughing aud run
ning about , happily unconscious of the
trouble and worry and bitterness that
centers about her little self and her
father aud mother. Charles Nordwig ,
who brought the baby from Sioux City
to Norfolk that she might be safely out
of roach of the woman whom ho had
tried in vain to live happily with , aud
placed the child under the kindly care
of his parental roof , will not return to
Sioux City but remain in Norfolk , that
he may be near his little daughter.
He is expecting on every train that
the woman from whom ho was forced to
flee , will arrive with an attorney and
try by some means to secure the child.
He thinks there is now in the city a
detective who will try to steal the little
ono away.
Paul Nordwig , a brother in this city ,
wont to Sioux City early in the week
aud was wretchedly treated. An at
tempt to arrest him was made , though
ho was simply in Sioux City because ho
was anxious to help his brother.
The grandfather of the baby girl declares
clares that she shall not leave his homo
aud is determined to resist efforts to got
her.

THREE BAB BOYS IN COURT ,
They Said Things That Ought Not to
Have Been Said.
[ From Saturday's Dally.-
Three bad boys wore brought up be
fore Judge Hayes in police court yesterday
day on the charge of disorderly conduct
and assault. Their names are Gustau
Nitz , William Craig and Christian.
Einil Speiriug was the complaining
witness aud the trouble all happened
last Sunday night.
The trio taken , together with a gang
of other lads about fifteen years young ,
followed Speiring and his sister aud a
young lady accompanying , for a long
way on South Fourth street and made
things unpleasant. They called Speir
ing nupretty names and said things they
ought not to have said and even wont so
far as to take hold of Speiring's coat ,
which is assault.
In police court yesterday the boys
admitted that they had done all of this
but said they wore urged to do it by an
older individual who was looking for a
fistic encounter with Speiring and
thought this might bo a good way to
work it up. One of the little fellows
said yes , he had sworn at Speiriug once ,
without a doubt.
The case was continued nntil the
older one , who is claimed to have caused
the trouble , may be arrested. The boys
are considered by the court as good sub
jects for the reform school on genera !
principles.
