SUGGESTION FOR NORFOLK DAY , Merchant Thinks City Could Afford to Set Off One Day a Week for Visitors. "It would be a good plan. It strikes me , " said a shrewd business man to day , "for Norfolk to set off one day out of each week say Wednesday , to bo called "Norfolk Day" through out this section. And on that day to cut prices on everything In nil clases of trade to the outside patronage. Then when a person from outside should buy so much say $10 worth of goods in the city refund him his car faro to Norfolk. This would stop a great deal of trade that is now going to Omaha trade which smaller towns are not attempting and trade which might as well come hero as to other cities. We could afford to give things at almost cost on Jlhat day to all outsiders , in order to In duce them to come in. " ROOM MATE OF ANNA VERGES , University Girl Who Committed Sui cide Saturday at Lincoln Roomed With a Norfolk Girl. Miss Pansy Balhird of Wilbur , eighteen years of age , the university girl who so tragically committed sui cide by taking carbolic acid at the St ) Theresa pro-cathedral Saturday morning , was a room-mate of Miss Anna Verges of this city , with .Mrs. Hngenslck at 12 ! ! : ! S street. Miss Verges was seen by a reporter , and said : "I have no idea what could have been the motive. I have always thought Pansy such a good girl , and have noticed that she went to church so often and regularly. I do not know of her going with any young men , and am sure that there was no trouble of that kind. She left before she had her breakfast tills morning. She told mo that she was going to the coinent this afternoon , as one of the sisters wanted to sec her. When she lirst came to Lincoln. She went to the convent for awhile. She told me that her father wanted her to go to the State university , and she felt so sorry because she had gone to the convent against bis wishes. She also said she felt sorry because she had left the convent as she did , as she did not even say goodbye. And , now I think of it , she was not hero last evening for a time , and I think she went to see one of the sisters at the convent , as she told me that the sister wanted to see her. " The first report of this tragic death was received by The News for its af ternoon edition , and at that time the identity of the dead girl had not been astahlishcd. She was the daughter of B. B. Hallnni , a retired banker of Wilbur. Her sister is also a student at the university , and stated that Pan sy had been hypnotized about four years ago by a traveling hypnotist during a performance at Wilbur. Up to that time she had been a cheerful , hanjiy girl , but since has been of a melancholy disposition. When she first went to Lincoln she attended a convent , contrary to her father's wishes , but afterward entered the uni versity. She bought the carbolic acid at a Lincoln drug store and went Into the cathedral during a mission service and took the poison while kneeling In prayer. After taking the poison i she staggered into the sacristy , where she died. Thank You. Many , many thanks to my children who worked so earnestly In my be half.

G. lOwing , a member of I ho Christian Science hoard of lec tureship of Boston , given Friday night In Odd Fellows hall. .Judge . lOwlng'H subject was "Chris- ! mn Science , " and throughout his ad dress lit" held closely lo the argument ( hat his religion was entitled to rec ognition by the thinking Christian people of the world , and that bis church abided as closely by the teach ings of the bible ns these of any other denomination , lie lias found Hint the church Is compelled to com bat prejudice * and that the older churches are slow to acknowledge that the teachings of Mother Kddy are as ( Irmly based as those of other denominations. Among other arguments presented , .Midge lowing said : "Christian Scientists believe that their life is in God. that God is their strength and thuir redeemer , and know they believe It , demonstrate their belief , by going to God and to God only for life , strength , and re demption Irom all sickness , sorrow and sin. You say you believe that ( iod is the great Physician who heals all our diseases but do you roully believe It ? If you do not go lo the great Physician , men will think and ( iod will know yort do not believe It. If the question were asked , every one of you would say that you believe that Jesus was sincere In his every declaration , said exactly what lie meant , and meant precisely what lie said. Do you really helluva it ? Jesus said to his disciples'The works that I do ye shall do also , and great er. ' Do you believe It ? If you do you will prove your belief In his sin cerity by doing these works. Ho said to the eleven when giving them the great commission to carry the Gospel to every creature , In order that they might know whether they wore preaching effectively or not , 'certain signs shall follow them that believe ; in my name they shall cast out devils. In my name they shall speak new tongues , In my name they shall lay hands on the sick and the sick shall recover. ' Do you believe that ho meant tills , and yet have never put it to the test ?
