Campbell Hros. clrcun , which ap peared In Norfolk yesterday , drew mlihty good houses for holh the nf- tornooti and evening perfornianceii , considering the weather. And In spile of tholr limiillcap In the recent lire , they put a good , cloau show that waw worth going to seo. The Russian Con- nocks wore aw good IIH any. They did stunts In an ucrohatlc way which were hard to beat , ono man balancing eight others ovnr his head. Their style was dlfforent and fascinating. The Jap anese family were clov ( > r and at the concert a good shooting turn camoon. The rings were damp anil slippery and In coiiHi'iiuonco the horses found It hard to tuuko any Bpeed. Thu rid ers complained of the condition , us It Uopt Ilium from showing up woll. Among the lady rldorn , Miss Foio- paugh was perhaps the hofit looking Hho slipped from her liorso along with iho rest , hut lit upon her foot. Hack holilnd the big tent , where the dressing rooms are pltchod , there la something doing all the whllo tliat Isn't on the hill.

Trunks Always In Line. ISvory actor has a trunU of lilso\\i and every li'ink occ.uploo just exact iy t'.io .ir.'io josltlon from the day the citn.s starts out until the : ' fulfil : i the end of the sumiuor. Hvory truul Is laholod with the iiiiino of the owner und In these each performer carries his Individual soaps , tights and para phcrualta. The Cossacks have a little conic of the dressing tout and they ehatto In their native tongue. Opposite ar the Japanese , who constantly talk I their oriental language and froi whoso conversation you can now am then distinguish "Port Arthur. " They were not a little excited when The News told them that their country had lost Its dispatch boat on a mine. The ring master stands at the en trance from ( he dressing tent and whistles for each lot of performers as tholr turn comes. The music of1 the hand gives the actors a cue and they are all ready and lined up when the minute approaches. The horses are led In from outside , saddles and bri dled and mounted. Hneh rider has a separate way of doing his work and most of them place their heels Instead of their toes Into the stirrups making It Impossible , thus , to be caught If the animal were to accidentally fall. What They do in Winter. Most of the people with the circus are in the vaudeville business during the winter season. The women are on the stage as trape/o performers and the like , and the men get places as funny men and as acrobats with the vaudeville troupes. The lady riders learn their work from childhood. Miss Forepaugh , who is a relative of old Adam Fore- paugh , has been at it since she was ten years old. She learned without mechanical aid , there being a strap device which holds the beginner upon the horse , where desired. They at first learn to dance , n the ground. Then they are set on a horse and gal loped around. Gradually the work up to the knees , then stand and later de velop new steps and dances and som ersaults. "You never get through learning , " said one of them. The racing is in real earnest and not , as many suppose , a mere farce for effect. Each rider takes pride in his work and none likes to bo beaten. Oick Heswick , of this city who was one of the llrst to turn a double som ersault in the world has long known the Campbell brothers and ho wont down to visit with them after the show was out. Today the circus is in Wayno. TUESDAY TOPICS. M. C. Walker has gone to Lincoln. Duard Stafford was up from Stanton over night. Mrs. J. Dnum was a Norfolk visit or from Meadow Grove. II. P.

This Is another of these spoils of weather that talk enthusiastically for paved streets In Norfolk. The people with their huso burners up and their fur overcoats out of soak are among thrwn to be envied by the common run of humanity. Country schools are very generally closing this week , and closing oxer c.lsos In Iho district school houses are the feature of the school year. Lincoln Star : They have about as drastic a dog tax system out at Til- deu ns bns been heard of. The tux Is $5 and anybody IH authorized to kill any dog on which the tax Is un paid. paid.This This Is the season when the coal men deal In "dabs" of fuel , the house holder hoping that each one pur chased would bo the lust. Some of them have been buying their coal that way for the past two mouths. It was supposed that there would be few outsiders attracted to Norfolk by the circus on account of the weath er , but the streets were full of them and they had a happy time enough , all conditions considered , walking about the streets In the mud and taking In the sights Incident to circus day. The carpenters are not Idle , oven during the bud weather. They have door nnd window frames to make and most of them have shops In which to make them. Afterward when the weather clears the wet-weather work will go Into the buildings that are in process of construction or about to bo started. The rain that has been falling for the past few days has very generally soaked Into the ground , Indicating that the soil was In a receptive mood for a thorough wetting. While the rain has been falling Quite continuously , It has come so easily and lightly that very little of It has gone into the ditches and surface ponds and sloughs. Tlldon is to vote again on the prop osition of issuing bonds for the erec tion of a new school house. The elec tion will bo held on Juno 1 , and the proposition Is to devote $8,000 to the purpose.

The fruit seems to have pulled through the frost of the other night with a minimum of damage , but the weather man has evidently not given up the race and may yet get it. Many of the plum trees have passed the blossom stage and small fruit has formed in the place of the bloom. Karly cherries , apples and other fruit Is just in the midst of the budding and blossoming process.

But It's dead too dead to smell and even the idiocy of the democratic party , always to ho depended on to do the wrong thing , Is not Idiotic enough to resurrect it. "And the tariff , well , the tariff is like the poor It's always with us. It has been drawn into every cam paign by the democratic party when all other issues have failed it , and the same old creature in the * same old grab may be drawn out again In the coming campaign for the amuse ment If not for the instruction of the people , but the tariff cannot be made an issue between the parties during this campaign. No line of cleavage can be drawn now between the par ties about this question. The old dem ocratic doctrine of free trade has been repudiated time and again by the people and It Is as dead as free sliver. "Its dearth of leaders is as great as Its dearth of issues. It dare not noin- Incite Its former standard bearer , twice defeated , nor its other former standard bearer , twice elected. Its ranks disorganized and shattered , it has few to champion nnd none to lead. And wo have the sad spectacle of a once glorious democracy approaching preaching a campaign , torn by Inter- nnd dissensions , dejected , dispirited , without nn issue or a leader , not knowing what to do. but Mlcawbor- llko waiting for something to turn up at St. Louis In July , only to bo turned down by the people In Novem ber.
