As It Is his family nnd friends hope to see him about In another week or two. The dissatisfaction expressed in this city last Saturday by Senator Ep person regarding the Inconvenience of the now state hospital for the insaiio at tills place , was the cause of a con sultation among members of the sen ate committee In Lincoln yesterday afternoon. The senators are not nt all pleased witli the way that the in stitution lias been arrailged. The Oxnard and Norfolk beet sugar companies nro not satisfied with the recent decision of the supreme court denying the sum of $10,000 In bounty. They have filed briefs at Lincoln for rehearing. The companies declare that no duality of subjects exists in the act of the legislature granting the bounties. The right of the court to go outside the records and search the house journals for motives , is chal lenged. The attorneys claim the mo tives of the legislature or its mem bers is not a subject for judicial in quiry. Max. the eleven-year-old'son of Mr. nnd Mrs. Henry King is one boy who probably will in the future be careful about how ho "catches on" wagons or other vehicles. At noon yesterday ho caught hold of a corn wagpn to take a ride when in some manner his leg got under the wheel and those who saw the accident were positive that some bones were crushed and the flesh mashed hopelessly. An ex amination by Dr. Tnshjenn , however , showed that "no bones were broken and the limb was not otherwise hurt than to bo badly bruised. His leg must have lain in a depression or a soft place to prevent a serious acci dent. There are. a good many miles of sidewalk in Norfolk which still need to .ho cleaned. The snow which fell is so deep that it is almost Impossible and. to say the least , exceedingly In convenient , to wade through the drifts. People who shovel off the walk as far out as the street or who clear merely the portion of walk which leads down town merely the half of their front walks which they. themselves , will use , should be re minded by the city street commission er of the right K of the public. There Is an ordinance which demands that the walks be cleaned within twenty- four hours. There are some walks In Norfolk which are not cleared yet. "Maloney's Wedding Day" drew a fair sl/.ed audience to the Auditorium last night and afforded pretty good fun for those who held seats. The piece is a musical farce with Just thread enough of a plot to be called a plot at all , and with specialties in troduced throughout. Some of the jokes were new and the stunts in sev eral instances were mirth provokers for fair. Charles E. Huntington was a good character as Maloney , Ed munds Morton made a funny "Mach- namara , " nnd Harry F. Adams was h clever Impostor. Of the women , Hel en Treadwell was perhaps best In the role of "Widow Nolan , " though Laura Wright could sing. Laura was alternately a soloist and "Bowery Liz , " looking for some one to save her. The weather took quite a radical departure from the normal of the past week today and the mercury ascend ed In the tube quite enthusiastically , reaching tooro as the minimum for the past twenty-four hours and climbing as high as 15 for the mnxi- mum. Tills , In comparison with -the 18 to " 5 below that It has been quite steadily averaging , Induced the people ple of Norfolk to almost Imagine that spring was hero and some of them were quite prepared to shed their coats and hunt the shady spots on the street. The heat , however , was not so oppressive as to cause n premature - mature rush for straw hats , parasols , fans and Ice cream. Under the rise of temperature the snow fell In drib lets during the night and morning , adding a layer to the already heavy matting of Ice crystals that covered the surface of the ground , nnd the prospects are that there will be still further additions before the controlling - ling power chooses to remove the cov ering from the face of the sun. The barometer also took a radical de parture , dropping a half inch since yesterday , or from 30.14 to 29.53/tho lowest point In a number of days , nnd It Is very much feared that a storm of some proportions will bo ushered In perhaps a norther to swirl the largo accumulation of snow through space.

We have always bought the best attractions that money could buy , hav ing had such well known quartets as the Oltumwas , the Schuborts , the Kentucky Colonels , the Chicago Oleo Club , the Shillors and others , but we have never had a quartet that gave more universal satisfaction than the Ottorlielns. They appeared several times each day and were more pop ular In the last entertainment than they were In the first , and in every re spect , in all of the music furnished nnd In their gentlemanly deportment while In our city , they have complete ly won the praise of the patrons of our chautauqua.

A physician sent to investigate the condition of the Wilkinson family , cor ner Norfolk avenue and Eighth street , says that they are afflicted with ec zema. The children are not permitted to attend the public schools. The city authorities believe that the public has done enough that the place for the family Is In the poor farm , but the family refuses to go. They prefer to "enjoy" poverty In a home of their own. own.With With the snow blown and drifted about the city there Is all the more reason why the man with the scoop and the shovel should become active and energetic. Many of the sidewalks that had been kept fairly clean are now drifted over and almost Impas sable , to pedestrians. The condition of the sidewalks of private owners ap plies likewise to the walks of the city. The city Js responsible for the condi tion of the crossings and some of them are no bettor kept than the walks adjoining private property. Mrs. C. P. R.
