A THRILLING SPECTACLE.

tions With Forepaugh-Sells.
The progressive policy of the great
Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers'
enormous shows united Is again illus
trated this season In the magnificent
spectacle , Panama , or the Portals of
the sea. The production Involves 1-
000 characters , and requires the use
of a stage larger than the combined
stage space In 100 theaters. 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.

foreign homes. This year it takes
four enormous special trains tn trans
port the Immense equipment , horses
and personal factors. When the cir
cus is completely set upon the show
grounds there are twenty pavilions In
all. The street pageant on the morn
ing of show day Is the biggest nnd
most varied ever organized. This at
traction with Foropaugh and Sells has
always been Immeasurably superior
to the efforts of all other shows , and
this season It is more diversified , re
splendent , novel , sensational and
longer than ever before. The great
shows will be hero one day only , Tues
day , June 13 , and give two perform
ances , at 2 o'clock and 8 o'clock.
Numbered reserved seats and admis
sion tickets can be bought circus day

actly the same price charged In the

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.

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.

Dear Sister : Wo live hut In the
