TltlR IH clrriiH ilny In Norfolk nnil
the llrHt cirrus day Norfolk has owned
for mnny.many IMOOHH. ( lollinar Bros. '
big rullroiul HhowH , not the "world'H
greatest , " hut still great enough to
require fonrti'on special ears ami two
engines to curry their performance ,
rolkul Into the M. O.HwItchlng yards
nt u very unrly hour thlH morning ,
nnil got busy at once , unloading tliu
tents , wagons , cages niul poloH for
the day'H exhibitions.
A good Hlzod crowd of people hnvo
gathered In the o.lty for the Initial clr-
ctiH of the season , and the IIIUIIUIIHU
canviiH , which IH pitched at the corner
of Madison avuniio ami Second Hlreot ,
was well filled thlH aflornoon with n
Hwoltorlng , much fanned IIIIIHH of hu
manity.
It was no Hinnll group of men and
boys that gathered ahout tlio rallrond
tracks jimt an the Him was duo tlilH
morning , to watch the unloading to
Homo the boat feature of a clrciiH , af.
tor all. It WUH JUKI the HUIIIU old Idea
there were horses and runabouts
und hit ; waioi ; > H that rolled and rum
bled as they were led down the Iron
incltnoH ; there were anlmalH boxed up
lu the earn and performers boxed ii | )
in theirs ; thuro were the bosses with
their walking HtlckH and the property
men and the numorotm gaugH thut al
ways accompany the clrciiH In one ca
pacity or another.
IiiHldo the'big tontn are the monag-
orlo anlmalH , Including the much nil-
vlrtlsod "blood sweating hlppopota-
iiniB , the biggest brute tlmt brontlum ; "
the pair of loving elephants that "coo
and love like two turtle doves" In
the good old Hummer time , and the
mirth loving monkey of autlipilty.
At 10 o'clock thegrandgluterlng free
Htrcot parade puHsed through the prin
cipal avoniioH of the city with two ImndH
that played to beat the cars anil a
funny clown who kept half the people
along the streets laughing up their
Hleoves. In the parade were a num
ber of open dens of wild animals ,
handsome horses , chariots , etc.
Immedlatoly after was the usual
grand free exhibition on the outside ,
nnd then began the display of mar
vellous curiosities In their Hide show
the "kill" Hbow , which was "all
< lone and over with before the big
Hhow began. "
The performance as given In two
rings nnd on a Htago Is a very cred
itable entertainment. The Petit and
Groh families of acrobats won ap
plause with thoJr clover work , and the
Japanese troup of Jugglers made many
friends when It came their turn. The
trained elephants are a whole show
within themselves , and on the whole
the ontortaliimoiU Is well worth the
lirlco of admission.
Then came the concert , the fun
niest part of the show , which allured
many dimes away from the crowd but
waved them money for all that , bo
cau.se It costs a quarter In other places.
The show Is not accompanied by the
usual number of fakirs but Is clean
and wholesome throughout. Gollmar
Brothers BCOIU to bo attempting to
make a reputation for the time when
they shall come again , and are suc

to the People.
[ From Thursday's Dally.1

thermometer is liable to indicate
strange and radical lluctuatlons o
temperature , and when the people
having much at stake In the crop line
are Inclined to fear n visit from the

takes a dip toward the bulb. The
race between crop development am
Jack Frost may not bo as Intensoli
Interesting as a cup race , but there
Is a great deal more bet on the race
than In the yacht contest.
Therefore , after an excessive ! }
warm period of weather about nooi
yesterday , when about 2 o'clock the
wind commenced to blow cool fron
the north nnd the mercury wont to
ward the bulb at the rate of alum
sixteen degrees before G o'clock , there
were a good many to express n fea
that there might bo n frost , but J
warmed again during the night nm
the prospects for nn early call fron
the frost king Is again remote and In
definite.

Sand and Gravel at Norfolk
Best in State.
OPINION OF EXPERIENCED MAN.
The City Engineer of Lincoln Saw
the Concrete Foundations for the
Government Dulldlng Laid and Is
Enthusiastic Over Material Used.
An unusual compliment ban come
to Norfolk thlH week a compliment
which IH sincerely spoken and Hpokon
lecaiiHo it IH true. It Is In regard to
the excellent ( | iiallty of sand and gruv-
1 UHod which Is to bo found In and
bout Norfolk nnd which , ns n matter
f fact , IH superior to any other llko
tutorial In the slnto of Nebraska.

olk'H wonderfully good Hand and
ravel , nnd its Hplondld points for

) ii the United StatoH court hoimo WIIH
ild and 1 noticed nt the tlmo , the ox-
ollont grade of Hand nnd gravel that
hey were using. I have noticed thlH
Material In every corner of Nebraska ,
uid I have never neon such a fine
inallty anywhere In the Htato ,
"In connection with the new bos-
> ltal for the Insane which Is to bo put
ip hero , It IH my opinion that by us-
ng Portland cement and the Norfolk
Hand nnd grnvol , n structure much
nero Imposing than brick , much more
nexpcnslvo than Htonc , and just ns
lurnblo as either could ho erected.
"Norfolk IH certainly well equipped

Ilres burning nt ono time than there

The most serious fire of the night
was that In the freight house of the
Rock Island road , situated at the corner
nor of Polk and Sherman streets. It
is not known what started tlio blaze
but It is supposed to huvo originated
in a carpenter shop In the building
The llamcs when discovered bad
made great headway , and when the
first engines responded to the alarm
It was evident that the greater part
of the staructuro was doomed.
Special calls for additional engines
wore made , and nil the fire boats in
the service of the city were soon nt
work , but In spite of the utmost efforts
forts of the department the building
and its contents were nlmost entirelj
destroyed.
The freight house , which wns n blocl
long , 200 foot wide and two stories
high , was filled with outgoing freight
and it will bo Impossible for Severn
dnys to state the loss with nccurncy
It is estimated , however , that It wil
amount to $500,000.
Just before tlio flro broke out the
store of A. II. Rovell & Co. , at Adams

Drowning Seven.
Coonlngton , Mass. , Aug. 27. Spec
ial to The News : A passenger steam
ship this morning ran down a small

This Would Seem to be on the
Route of the Pan-American.
DIRECTLY IN PROPOSED LINE.
Would Have the Advantage of the
Yankton & Southwestern Grade
and Right of Way from Here Into
South Dakota.
fFroin Monday's Dally. ]
The telegraphic Information from
luthrlo , Oklabomn , that the Pnn-
American Railroad company has boon
ncorporated there with n capital
lock of $250,000,000 undobutcdly has
lore than n passing Interest to the
eoplo of Norfolk. It Is nnnounccd
hat the road will run from Port Nol-
on , Hudson Bay , British America ,
hrough North and South Dakota , No-
> rnskn , Knnsas , Oklahoma and Indian
'orrltory from Galveston , Texas , and
rom there through Mexico nnd Gen-
ral America , to points In South Amor-
ca , also that the company will in-
ludo Bovoral construction companies
and that n business olllco will bo
nalntalncd at Superior.
Norfolk Is not only directly in line
vlth this proposed route , but It Is the
iroposcd terminus of the Yankton &
Southwestern , which has lately in
corporated to extend across the state
of South Dakota through Yankton and
Norfolk. Not only has this company
i right of way most of the distance
from Yankton to Norfolk , but a grade
ias been completed a considerable
> art of the dltsanco and In all llkell-
lood it is ono of the companies that
will bo Included In the plans of the
'en-American.
It has for a long tlmo boon detorm-
ned that such n road would bo built
and that It would bo a paying invest-
nont to capitalists , and this new cor
poration may be the very ono chosen
o carry this business venture to com
pletion.
To throw the route of the now line
cast of Norfolk would make a longer
iianl into North and South Dakota , a
: bing to bo i voided , nnd If it should
go west It would not strike ns fertile
mil prosperous a section of country ,
nor one as readily adapted to railroad
construction , so that Norfolk would
seem to bo reasonably secure lu fig
uring on the road being built through
the city If it gets beyond the paper
stage ami Is actually constructed.
It Is a dream that Norfolk people
would bo glad to know was a cer
tainty , and they will watch the future
development of the Pan-American
route with Interest.
