Thou sands of costumes , the design and make of Parisian artists , are employed and the scones of marching hosts , fes tive galaxies , galloping soldiers , royal ' groupings and swiftly changing dramatic - matic incidents form a spectacular display Indescribably fascinating. The music composed for this gorgeous production is rendered by a band of fifty selected soloists. The scenic In- ventlture Is elaborate and ornate , and the spectacle in Its entirety is Incom parably the most important and suc cessful historical display over shown under canvas. The same policy of enlargement and novelty Is to be seen In the ring performances this season. Three hundred of the pick nnd flower of Europe , America and the orient in the circus profession are to be found In the huge arenlc program.

TRAINMEN AND THEIR FRIENDS ARE THE GUESTS OF NELIGH. LARGE CROWD LEFT NORFOLK Train Full of Enthusiasm nnd People Left for Neligh at the Hour Set. Stanton Band Accompanies Excur sionists to Give Inspiration. IKioin Tliumlnv's linllv 1 With a train load of enthusiasm and people the locomotive llromeu departed - ed this morning on their excursion and picnic at Ncllgh. being favored with a rather agroenblo day for the carrying out of the program which had boon postponed from May 'J7. The train came up from the Junc tion with n largo number of trainmen and tholr families bent on having a good time1 , nnd were joined at the city depot by a largo number of tholr frltMids from the main pnrt of the1 town. Every nvnllablo ticket at the city depot was soon sold nnd a now supply had to bo drawn upon to moot the demand of the people , and whoa the train pulled out the cars were well llllocl. Excursionists joined the train at the stations between horn nnd Nc llgh and by the time Neligh was ronchod It wns found that the nr- mngemonts for hauling n crowd had boon none too extensive. The Stanton cadet band of twenty- two pieces , was brought along from that town and spirited music filled the air previous to the departure of the train for the picnic grounds. The members of the ledge who had the picnic arrangements in hand were somowhnt dubious last evening about being able to moot the expenses of the trip. They canvassed the busi ness bouses , but found n light demand for tickets. This morning , however , tholr fears were dissipated by the fine crowd demanding accommoda tions and they will undoubtedly llnd themselves a little bolter than even when a final summing up of receipts nnd expenditures are made. The firemen have prepared an o\- collent program of events and if the weather continues good throughout the day and evening there will bo no complaints on the part of the excur sionists that they have not had tholr money's worth. The crowd will return to Norfolk either on the regular trains or on the excursion which will come In about midnight. All train crows that could possibly be spared , have boon given a day off to help swell the crowd nnd there was every indication of n good time for all when the train pulled out of Nor folk. Warnervlllc. Roy Johnson went to Buffalo coun ty , Tuesday , to visit his grand father. The Omaha Elevator company shipped a car load of hogs to South Omaha Tuesday. Mrs. O. D. Muiisou returned Thurs day fioin a month's visit with her daughter at Omaha. Goo. Cnrleton and wife of Stnnton visited Sunday nnd Mondny with their daughter , Mrs. Goo. Marshall. While Wm. Berner and son of Nor folk wore driving a spirited team of horses Tuesday morning about a mile south of town the horses became un manageable and ran away , throwing Mr. Berner out of the buggy , and ran into a buggy containing Mrs. Everett Pettitt and Roy Pettitt , fortunately without seriously injuring them , but reducing the buggy to kindling wood. Lines From Three Letters. Los Angeles , Cal. , May 30. Editor News : Would you kindly give space In your paper to the few lines I send you . They were found among unfin ished letters on Mrs. Bispham's writ ing table , directed to you. Mrs. Es- tella Blspham is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Abbie White , who died in Nor folk , Nebraska , March 22 , 1905. She has lived here ten years and I have been her constant companion , . Through hard work sickness and anxiety her health failed all at once. and for five years she has been an In valid and cripple , depending solely upon her two boys for support , the eldest not yet 21. They are both de voted to their mother , who Is ono of nature's noblest of women , beloved by all who know her. She lived in hopes of getting strong enough to visit her mother this summer but the shock of her mother's death on the already weakened body was too much for her and she is now being cared for by friends. The worst Is feared , still she may rally. Her two sons wore born In Norfolk and they are noble boys , respected by everyone. The eldest was hurt two years ago and his health has been poor since. They are fire men on the Southern Pacific railroad. Very respectfully , Mrs. Stella Adams. January , 1901.
