In broad day light.
Those who were fortunate enough
to bo awake during the early morning
hours last Saturday witnessed a bril
liant display of polar lights , some
times called aurora borealls. They
seemed to radtato from several borenl
nrches or crowns that shot their tint
ed rays high up into the northern
sky. A shroud of mystery and won
der surrounds this interesting phe
nomenon. It is most common during
the fnll nnd winter nnd is attributed
by scientists to one of two onuses.
It is either a reflection of the sun's
rays from the Ice Holds against cumulous -
ulous matter which indicntes a storm
ns does the halo around the moon , or
it may bo caused by combustion of
meteoric substances when it is said
thnt a sizzling sound is sometimes
heard in higher altitudes. Tbo latter
is said to occur near the time that
spots on the sun are soon. Loader.
Chance for Norfolk and North
Nebraska.
FRANCISCAN SISTERS HERE.
There IB Every Prospect That Nor
folk nnd the Surrounding Country
May Get Benevolent Institution
Soon Fremont Wants It Also.
There Is a chance for Norfolk and
north Nebraska to got a hospltnl. Pro
vided this city nnd the territory trib
utary to Norfolk will become enough
Interested to make a donation of A
certain suni nnd provided that the
Catholic council which has the matter -
tor of location In hand will bo satis-
lied with this place for Its Institu
tion , there * will probably bo built n
hospltnl hero within n few months of
grent proportions nnd ono which will
cnro for the III nnd injured of the en
tire northern hnlf of the state as
those In Omaha nnd Council Bluffs
now do for the entire stnto.
Mother Jotmphn and a companion
from LaFnyotte , Intl. , were In Nor
folk Friday morning nnd the pros
pects for locating n mngnlllcont In
stitution in Norfolk were talked over
with them by n number of prominent
business men at the Elk cull ) rooms.
The Plan.
The hospital Is to ho ono of $50-
000 cost. It Is an institution of benevolence -
novolenco and charity so that these
patients who cannot nfford to pay
are cared for free by the Sisters
who have charge and do the
work. There would bo the main buildIngs -
Ings , laundry , kitchen , etc. , and It
would resemble the hospltnl nt Col
umbus very much. It would provide
for llfty patients nt one tlmo nnd
these It would draw from the whole
northern half of Nebraska , ns fur
west ns Deadwood , north to Bono-
stool , northeast to the Missouri rlvor ,
south to Humphrey nnd southeast
nearly to Fremont.
Help This Section.
There are right now a largo num
ber of patients from this section In
Omaha and Council Bluffs hospitals.
Every county has from tlvo to n doz
en. Those could nil bo well cnrod for
In Norfolk nnd the convenience
would make the location Invaluable.
It would bo a great benefit to every
town within many miles of this cen
ter and it Is thought that the physic
ians of the whole district will lend
their aid to the project enthusiastic
ally.
ally.Tho
The Sisters who were bore came
at Invitation of Rev. Father Walsh.
Fremont has offered n hospital to
them nil ready built In order to Induce -
duce them to locate there. There Is
no question as to the advantages of
Norfolk over Fremont nnd It is
thought thnt this will surely appeal
to the council.
A committee wns appointed by
Mayor Ha/.cn to nscortnln what the
city nnd surrounding country would
bo willing to do toward this lm > Ject.
Being n benevolent Institution , it will
of course not rank as a commercial
proposition. The physicians of Nor
folk are on the committee , and be
sides nro : W. M. Robertson , G. A.
Lulknrt , W. H. Bucholz , C. D. Jen
kins and H. C. Matrau.
The commltteo Is to learn nt once
what the city nnd territory will do In
the matter and n definite proposition
will then bo made to the Sisters.
The council meets Jn January and If
the proposition Is satisfactory the
hospital will bo erected Immediately.
There are now four Institutions of
the kind In Nebraska nt Grand Island -
and , Columbus , Lincoln and Omaha.
Fremont men and especially the
physicians have boon making n stren
uous effort to porsundo the Sisters
to bring the hospltnl thc.ro nnd only
yesterday a largo committee called
upon Mother Josnphn.
These Sisters have nt least forty
such hospitals throughout the coun
try. They nro now erecting ono nt
Michigan City. The Institution would
grow and bo increased from time to
tlmo nnd the expense of nil future
work would bo borne by the Sisters.
It would eventually develop Into a
property worth $125,000.
UPON MAN'S ' GREATEST TRIAL ,
That Is the Subject Upon Which Rev.
Father Shyne Will Address
His Listeners.
[ From Friday's Dnlly. ]
Ono of the most hushed nnd strik
ingly attentive audiences that over
assembled in Norfolk listened last
evening for nearly ono hour and a
half to the Rov. Father C. A. Shyno
of St. Louis university while ho med
itated with the audlenco on "Death ,
the Grent Conqueror. " . There wns
not from nil appearance ono in the
congregntlon who realized till the
meditation was over that it lasted so
long. The quiet , gentle unpretentious
methods of the lecturer , who is n
born orator of the refined typo , lend
you to forgot the man nnd his man
ner nnd think well upon his thought
ful matter. Though the course is
for Catholics It Is bard to see how
anyone who professes to bo n Chris
tian cannot profit by tbeso medita
tions as much as Catholics and it Is
to this .fact , no doubt , that wo must
ntrlbuto the overcrowding of the
Catholic church , which is twlco too
largo for its own communicants.
What Js It to Die ?
This is the first question Father
Shyntf asked his audience nt 7:30 : last
night. Then cnmo the nnswcr nftor
having answered what life is. Tlio
necessity of dcnth flown from the
constitution of our nature. It Is not
In the native power of the Immortal
soul to secure Immortality to the body.
Incrense , decrease , extinction nro
natural to the human body.
Between the cradle nnd the coffin
Is hut a span nnd wo are making
the span shorter and shorter , loss
nnd IOHH , every day slnco wo were
nri
Dcnth Is the tcrnrntlon of the soul
from the body ; rirnth 1.3 the end of
tlmo nnd ih j brilnnlng ; of eternity ;
death Is the consequence and punish
ment of sin for "God created man In-
corruptiiblo and to the imago of his
own likeness ho made him , but by
the envy of the dovll death came Into
the world" Over 80,000 die annually
none cscnpo death. What Is It to
die ? It Is to say farewell to fortune ,
plcnsuro , friends , to your body , to nil
the world ; It is to bo cast out and put
out of sight , to bo abandoned by
your friends and acquaintances , by
your children , or heirs , who will think
more of what you have loft them than
of you or pour poor soul. To dlo is to
leave your house for a narrow grave
and to pass Into the most humiliating
state , the nearest stnto to nothingness -
ness "under theo shall the moth bestrewn
strewn and the worm shall bo thy
covering. "
Must I Die ?
Reason tolls mo that a body con
stantly undermined must finally fall
to dust. Faith tolls mo "It Is appoint
ed unto men once to dlo. "
Experlcnco shows us that men dlo
In nil plnccs nnd In nil hours. Mnn
liatj raised doubts on all truths , but
who has over doubted the certainty
of death ?
When Shall I Die ?
"It Is not for you to know the tlmo
or the moment which the father hath
put In his own power. Watch for
you know not the dny nor the hour. "
Ono thing wo do know thnt denth will
coma when wo lenst expect It. Who
said this ? Dlvlno wisdom.
On Saturday evening nt 7:30 there
will bo the most interesting lecture
of the whole course. This will bo
the last. It wns the lecturer's inten
tion to close Friday night but at the
request of mnny , nnd especlnlly of the
Rov. Father Walsh , ho has consented
to lecture on Saturday evening at
7:30 : and to close on Sunday nt 10
o'clock mnss.
PEOPLE OUGHT TO CLAP MORE ,
That Is What the Actor Folk Think
Should be the Rule In Norfolk
Theatre Circles.
tFrom Saturday's Dnllv.l
"Norfolk doesn't clnp Its hands
enough when It goes to the theatre.
It doesn't warm up as It ought when
nn nctor tries to please. " Thnt is
nbout the substnnco of what a prom
inent actor who appeared In this city
not long ago , said. The Auditorium
was packed with people who , from
reports next dny , no doubt got their
money's worth. They liked the play
and were immensely pleased with the
actor but they didn't let him know
It at the tlmo and the result was that
It was Impossible for him , as an art
ist , to give his very best work.
Norfolk always has been more or
less addicted to this frosty habit at
the playhouse. Instead of warming
up right nt the outset nnd greeting
the star of the company with n hearty
hand , the theatro-goors will sit
through n whole act sometimes with
out recognition In any instance of
the actor's effort.
The applause that ho receives be
fore the footlights Is virtually the llfo
of an actor. Ho lives alone for this.
Ills salary Is nothing. No matter how
much It may be , ho spends It before
the week Is done. Ho throws his
whole soul into his work nnd the only
reward thnt ho can over set Is appro-
elation from his auditors. An ono of
the chorus girls In a recent company
put U , "Wo'd like to have them like
us just a llttlo bit. "
Dr. Tyndall Goes to Montana.
DP D. K. Tyndall , pastor of Trinity
Methodist church of Omaha , and ono
of the most popular ministers in the

G , B , SALTER TRAPS A BEAVER ,
Camping Out all Alone , Mr. Salter Is
Enjoying the Frigidity of the
Week.
G. B. Snlter of this city Is enjoying
rather a remarkable outing this week.
All alone upon the river bank six
miles out of town , ho has been campIng -
Ing through several days of this frig
idity , hunting , trapping , fishing nnd
enjoying every fenturo of nn ideal
camp llfo. Despite the fact that the
water is frozen thick every morning
when ho wakes up , Mr. Salter Is hav
ing great pleasure in his oxpcrlenco
and is standing the raw weather with
comfort rnthor than pain.
On Sunday night the feature of his
fun was the trapping of n handsome
beaver which walked unknowingly
into the snare that had been cleverly
sot for him. Clarence Salter and Car
roll Powers are planning to spend the
last part of the wcok at the camp.
Norfolk Dealers Have Endless
and Stylish Selection.
THEY MEET THE CITY PRICES.
People of the Territory About the
North Nebraska Metropolis Can
WcH. Afford to Keep Their Money
at Home for the Benefit of All ,
[ From Saturday's Dully. ]
Norfolk Is rapidly ndvnnclng to
the position it should occupy by
rights of location nnd facilities into
the commercial metropolis of this sec
tion of Nebraska. The merchants
nro awake to the field thnt is open to
them nnd are meeting the competi
tion of the cities In an effective man
ner thnt Is proving highly pleasing
to the people of this section who have
been spending tholr money In the
cities of the cast.
Never before hnvo the Norfolk mer
chants gone into the fall and winter
season with better stock of goods
from which to make a selection than
they have this year , and the prices
they nro quoting will bo found by
comparison with the same classes of
goods sold elsewhere to bo as low as
any of them are making.
In making this effort it is not the
effort or deslro of the Norfolk busi
ness men to enter into competition
with the merchants of the towns nnd
villages surrounding the city. It Is
recognized that they have a right to
live , and It is also recognized as ad
visable that the people of their vicin
ity should trade at homo ns much as
possible , because the prosperity of
the business men of the ontlro section
lends to the prosperity of the coun
try. There are mnny dollars , how
ever , that find their way to the east
without doing the homo people a
cent's worth of good , nnd It Is the de
sire of the Norfolk merchants to head
off some of these dollars that they
may remain In the country for the
benefit of the people. To do this suc
cessfully the Norfolk merchants have
greatly enlarged their selections and
are carrying an unusually line line
of expensive goods not usually found
on the shelves of the average country
merchant.
Now and rare and expensive fab
rics , and all the novelties that appeal
to the person who desires to bo fash
ionably dressed are found on the dry
goods shelves of the city In endless
variety and at prices that cannot bo
duplicated.
In clothing and overcoats there are
selections of stocks thnt nro not excelled -
celled In the Inrgo stores of the cit
ies. The goods are up-to-date and
nobby. Norfolk's exclusive clothing
stores and tailoring establishments
are well equipped to care for the
wants of these who cannot find the
styles and fits they deslro in their
local towns.
The city has three exclusive shoo
stores , the proprietors of which are
alert to secure for their stocks the
very latest nnd ncntest things In foot-
wcnr , nnd the thousands of shoos on
their shelves afford as choice a selec
tion as could bo found anywhere.
- The furniture dealers hnvo selec
tions In valuable house fittings , in ex
pensive woods and the newest styles ,
such as merchants in smaller towns
could not afford to carry. A look
around the furniture stores of the
city will convince anyone that their
stocks are not rivalled , oven by the
Omaha dealers.
In pianos , organs nnd musical In
struments there are no better selec
tions to bo found nnd the prices are
right.
In fancy groceries , fruits , vegeta
bles , bakery goods and other merchan
dise of like character , purely city
stocks are kept on hand.
The same Is true of the hardware
lines , the Jewelry stores , the millin
ery parlors , the novelty stores and
others that appeal to the city classes
of trado. Purchasers are advised to
examine the goods and prices offered
by the honorable nnd substantial mer
chants of Norfolk before taking or
sending their money to the cities.
