Coasting on Dexter's hill proved rare sport up until Saturday night for a few. The track leads from Eleventh street to Seventh , with several curves , maklng < a distance of about five blocks through which the long racing sleds speed with the swiftness of lightning. Danger at guiding the long racing hobs through a narrow gate but in creases the sport. The rising genera tion , however , has had so little trainIng - Ing of late years In the coasting stunt that the hill was not crowded this sea son as of old. The slolghlng-Is at nn end. The sun killed It. With one backhanded stroke It dlew the sloigher's path of snow yesterday afternoon nnd there'll bo no more this winter. A large num ber of the streets in town have lost almost all of the traces of a snowfall and are as bare from whiteness as on a hot September afternoon. The hob runners that had been fastened to the vehicles of all sorts and shapes , have been taken off nnd relegated once more to the hayloft , while freshly oiled wheels have been spun on again. The epidemic of la grippe continues with unabated fury In Norfolk and there Is today scarcely a home In the city In which some one or more mem bers of the family have not been or are not , afflicted with this dreaded aching. Doctors report that people are 111 with the attack literally by the hundreds. It Is just bad enough to make the patient feel the limit In meanness and yet not severe enough to be given the sympathy that real Illness ought to have. The germs scorn to have spread considerably dur ing the past week. A few letters of the alphabet are frequently of inestimable value , and the editor of the Madison Star-Mail was last week one of the men who would give considerable to have a few little type In the place they were calculated by the editor to go. In an article on the finances of the county the editor Intended to say that "the county roads are In bad shape , " but the compositor made "roads" ( nto "records" and the proofreader let It go at that , the con sequence being that quite a serious statement was made from one Intend ed to bo n nominal complaint. Mr. Donovan has taken prompt measures to correct the Impression that the article conveys In a portion of his ed ition. It Is springtime , for fair. The gold en sun came up over the eastern hill tops this morning like a gilded sum mer's day. The air is crisp and sweet and fresh , just balmy enough to drink In with long , deep breathing , and fra grant enough to remind the inhabi tants of the northwest that there Is no place like home , after all. It has made many a man forget the troubles of the severely cold three-weeks which passed not long ago , and has revived hope that the robins may some time sing again. In fact they can almost be heard singing today , in the far away south , and It seems , from their coming constantly nearer nnd nearer , that they are flying this way. The groundhog , after all , may have been mistaken. Perhaps the winter winds are done right now , the gardening sea son Is at hand. At all events the wild geese flying northward will be watched for with eager eyes by the small boy who has no gun nnd by the bigger men who have boon paying coal bills , from now on. FIRE ALARM IN WEST POINT SCARES AN AUDIENCE. NO ONE WAS HURT IN MIX-UP Because the Audience at the Opera House Believed That the Fire Alarm Indicated a Blaze in the Theatre Building , They Were Frightened. West Point , Neb. , Feb. 17.
