[ From Tuesday's Pally ] The teachers and pupils of the city schools are preparing for their ilrst holiday programs which will be given Wednesday afternoon and night -and the majority of the grades and rooms will observe Thanksgiving with appro priate exercises on an elaborate scale. Those classes that have not part with the program will witness the exorcises of pupils that have parts assigned to them , and the afternoon and evening will be happily passed. Dialogues , recitations , singing sk.etches and other entertainment in costume and with decorations will be given by the little people under the direction of their teachers and the prospects are that the programs will be better and more elaborate than ever before. Neat invitations to parents have been sent out and the various looms are looking for a large number of visitors from the homes who attend school but once or twice a year and perhaps not that often. Parents and friends of the children owe it to them and their teachers to encourage them by their attendance on these occa sions and none of those little invita tions should pass without response. In the evening the Junior class of the high school will give nn entertain ment that should be largely attended. Humphrey News Notes. Humphrey , Neb. , Nov. 23.

EGGS ARE SCARCEST ARTICLE No Football , No Skating , No Sliding Down Hill Two Theatrical Per formances nt the Auditorium Good , Supmtuous Dinners Everywhere. I From \Voihiostln > 'H Dnlly.1 Signs today point to a rather quiet Thanksgiving day In Norfolk. With the sunshine of the good old miinmer time , no snow , no ice , and no football games , there IH every Indication that the day will he given over In this p | | > to the quiet , peaceful day for renting and true thanksgiving , for which It was primarily Intended. There will bo nothing doing , to spenk of , In the commercial world to morrow. Stores and shops will be locked and the workmen as well an the merchants will enjoy a day of rest. There will he no tralllc over the coun ters of the stores , and little traveling about. The city schools closed early today for the holiday , and will have aaca - tlon on account of the ThankugiUng day. There will bo no school on the day following , Friday. Church services will ho hold In the morning , as announced and hundreds of Norfolk people , no doubt , will at tend. There will bo the usual numbrr of Thanksgiving dinners , with famll > re unions as a feature and guests at oth er tables. A number of people- rel atives and friends from out of town have been arriving during the past few days and are still coming , to ob serve the day In Norfolk ; and , on the other hand , n number have been and still are leaving the city , to bo pres ent at gatherings In other cities and towns throughout the state. Do/.ens of traveling men have arrived home today to spend the day with their fam ilies and at their hotels , with friends. Eggs are Scarce. A notable feature of the day Is the scarcity of eggs. It Is said that eggs are even more uncommon than tur keys and in many a home a piotty nearly eggless dinner will have to go. It Is reported that the little spheroids wlih their thin , white shells are even being imported into the west I mm eastern points. Turkeys are not so rare as It was at Ilrst reported and the markets have them to spare. For amusement seekers , there will be two plays In Norfolk tomorrow. "A Fatal Scar" appears nt the Audi torium twice , for matinee and evening performances. Tills is the troupe car rying Frank James as u feature. In some cities , but not In Norfolk , there will be gridiron contests. The chief game of Interest In this section is the Illinois-Nebraska game at Lin coln , for which a large number of people ple from this section have gone to Lincoln todny. In some former years skating lias been good on the rivers which run around Norfolk , but there's nothing to It this Thanksgiving , Norfolk resi dents will all recall the notable Ice storm which fell over this city sever al years ago on Thanksgiving day. At < o'clock at night the rain began to drizzle and when the city awoke next day there was a vast expanse of white ness covering every nook and corner ol the town ; with heavy coatings of the fro/en rain , clinging to trees and wires and poles. Hundreds and hun dreds of trees were broken bodily down , hundreds of wires were snapped In two and even huge telephone poles , staggering beneath the tremendous weight , swayed and sank to the ground. But there Is no Indication of n rep etition of that storm tomorrow. There Is no Indication of anything , In fact , except a good , plain , old fashioned Thanksgiving day , with turkey dinner and cranberry sauce ; and with houses- fill of happy , healthy children to make a townful of mothers and fathers hap py and bubbling over with sincere thanksgiving.

IKiom Wcilnesilin'h Dillj.i An Ineffectual attempt was made to bnrglarb.e the tailor shop of P. J. Fues- ler lust night by unknown parties , to whom there Is no trace as yot. Owing to bars which grate the rear windows of tljo building , the would-be robbers were unable to effect an entrance and had to give up the Job after breaking several window lights. When Mr. Fnenler ariived at 1 o'clock this morning , to begin the work of the day , he found that the glass had been shattered and that be ; nenth the window , at the rear end of Ihe structure , stood a box upon which the strangers had stood. There was no other clue as to the violence. The Iron bars prevented going further ami as the rods were ho firmly stuck that they could not be pried off , the un known man or men had to give it up as a bad piece of business. ir nn Klrplmnt.
