LARGELY ATTENDED MEETINGS At the Women's Meeting the Number of Converts Grew to 381. That woman's meeting yesterday afternoon was a remarkable gather ing , not only In respect to numbers , for it was perhaps the largest assam- bly of women Hie town has ever seen or over will nee , but In respect to the interest taken. The evangelist took for his text : "She hath done what she could" and at. the conclusion of his address a largo number canto to the front , swelling the number of converts to 381. It was a novor-to-bo * forgotten afternoon. Last night the evangelist spoke on the prodigal son and his touching pic ture's of homo life and the breaking of home ties were pathetic and when ho spoke of the prodigal's return , of the father putting on the son the robe that ho used to wear , the andlonco was moved to tears.

The Northwestern Is still having a big run of stock from Nebraska , South Dakota and Wyoming to the markets of the east. Ono day this week nine extra trains passed through the city onrouto to market carrying only cattle , sheep and hogs. This Is not the regular season for stock ship ' ments , the rush taking place In the fall when cattle are In off the ranges ' , but the run this spring Is unusually ; largo and Is composed of the animals that have boon In the feed yards durIng - Ing the winter nnd are In fine condi tion for the fancy market. The high prices of feed has Intlucnccd the farmers - ors nnd feeders to get rid of as much of their stock as possible and It Is probable that the rush will continue until all but stock animals are cleared from the farms and ranches. After the rush Is over It Is to bo ex pected that the market price of stock will raise , as It Is not probable that It will continue at the present low figure with the prices of grain nt such a high point. Eight of the trains that passed through the other day were double headers and 11 total of 175 carloads were Included In the nine extras. The Illinois Horse Co. can supply CO pedigreed draft stallions ; 30 of them Imported ; 5 breeds Perchoron , French Draft , English Shlro , Belgian Clyde ; 5 colors black , brown , bay , roan , gray ; rich blood , extra shire breeders 2 to 5 yoilrs old.

Jack Halo of Tedford , S. D , , n broth er of Battle Creek's prominent cltl- zen nnd a well known legislator of South Dakota , was In Norfolk last night , returning homo from the dem ocratic state convention at Sioux Falls. The busy season for the painters and paper hangers has arrived and the prospects are that there will bo more of this work than over done this sea- son. Numerous homes and store buildings will be Improved by the ap plication of now paint and Interior decorations.

Those composing the company | are H. Nlet/ , John Boch , P. Shorns and H. Stehr. They have undoubted ly been attracted to thltt territory by i > : the handsome slock that Is In the possession of the farmers nnd the ranch men. Norfolk , with other towns of the Htnto , Is probably to have pure vin egar In the future , nnd the people will be gratified ( o know that they nro to have the real fruit vinegar , rather than that made from grains and ac ids. State Chemist Walker has been here , nnd at this place and several other towns In this seel Ion of' the Htnto ninety barrels of vinegar were rejected , not because of any delete- tloiiH matter It contained but because the labels were misleading. Mr. Thompson Is now of the opinion that ho IIIIH won out In the fight with the Jobbers and miinnfacturerfl and that hereafter none but pure vinegar will bo Hold In the state , and If It Is made of acids and other compounds It will bo HO labeled.

Good Friday has not been a generally orally observed holiday In Norfolk and except for those who went to the special services at the churches there was little to Indicate that this was ono of the most Important days or the church calendar. None of the business houses wore closed In oh servanco of the day. Perhaps the largest observance given the day wa at the olllco of Edwards , Wood & Co. where there was little doing , owing to the fact that the city grain exchanges - changes wore observing the day The grain 6xchanges will likewise observe servo Saturday by remaining closed Silenced the Noise.
