A week from today is again circus
day in Norfolk- , when the Sells Broth
ers and Forepaugh aggregation prom
ises to be in with four special trains
hauling tents , equipage , wagons and
menagerie. This is the largest show
that has visited Norfolk since Ring-
lings were last hero and that has not
been for five or six years. The Ring-
lings used to make regular dates In
Norfolk every two or three years , but
they have recently cut It off the seed-
ulo , it Is said because the management
was not satisfied with the tax pre
scribed by the ordinance. The Ring-
lings Is the only large show that has
made Norfolk In recent years except
Barnum and Bailey who showed on
the lots north of the union depot
eleven or twelve years ago. They
gave but one performance. In the af
ternoon , and many of the Norfolk
business houses were closed to per
mit the attendance of clerks and em
ployers. The vast tents wore filled
to capacity by the people and many
were here from all portions of north
Nebraska to take In the event. An
equally large crowd may bo expect
ed for the Sells and Forepaugh show
which has a reputation rivalling that
of , Barnum. Omaha and Norfolk are
the only points In Nebraska where
they will exhibit. They are at Omaha
the 12th , Norfolk the 13th and Sioux
City the llth. The attendance at the
Gentry Brothers performance , which
was here last Friday , was undoubted
ly reduced by the fact of the near approach
preach of this larger show.
ATKINSON HAS THE WORST FIRE
FOR MANY YEARS.
ELEVEN HORSES ARE CREMATED
Livery Darn and Home of C. F. Wcl
Icr Destroyed by Fire Early Yester
day Morning Loss Between $0,000
nnd $7,000 , Insurance Normal.
Atkinson. Nob. , Juno 2. Special to
The News : C. F. Welter's house , liv
ery barn nnd eleven head of horses
wore destroyed by lire at an early
hour yesterday morning. The loss
was between $ G,000 and $7,000 , with
an Insurance of but $900.
The livery was -10 by 100 feet nnd
the house 28 by 28. The lire started
In the southwest corner of the barn
nnd rapidly consumed both the barn
nnd the house adjoining. Three or
four people were asleep In the barn
nt the tlmo the fire started , nnd one
of them , Sam Anderson , wan hard to
waken and for n tlmo It was thought
It would bo Impossible to got him out ,
ns the fire started under the corner
of the building where ho was asleep ,
and It was well along before the alarm
was given , but ho was finally rescued
Just In tlmo to save him from crema
tion.
tion.One
One of the horses burned was val
ued at $2,000 nnd another at $1,500.
One team belonged to Henry Wlnklor ,
from the country , who was In town
over night , and the most valuable
horse belonged to Charles Golder ,
who lives twenty miles north of town.
All the others belonged to Mr. Weller.
The fire had gained good headway
when the alarm was given and the
water pressure did not seem to be ns
strong as usual , so there was very lit
tle opportunity to save oven the con
tents of the barn. The household
goods were all saved , ns the residence
did not catch fire until the barn was
pretty well consumed. The wind was
from the southwest , carrying the
flames from the business part of town
toward the residences on the north
side of the track. Embers were
blown a quarter of a mile , but prompt
work prevented them from Igniting
other buildings. The barn was Just
across the street from the water sup
ply and gas tank , or lighting plant.
For a time there was a good deal of
excitement over the fear that the gas
would explode. Tills was the worst
fire Atkinson has had for a long tlmo.
At present the family of Mr. Wellor
are being cared for at the homes of
friends , until he has an opportunity
to readjust his affairs.
WEEKLY CROP SUMMARY.
Warm , Dry Weather of the Week Was
Favorable to Crops.
Lincoln , Nob. ; Juno C. IT. S. De
partment of agriculture , climate and
crop bulletin of the weather bureau ,
Nebraska section , for weelc ending
Juno 3 :
The past week has been for the
most part , warm and dry. The mean
dally temperature averaged 4 degrees
above the normal , while the maxi
mum temperatures on the last two
days quite generally exceeded 90 de
grees.
The rainfall was light less than
half an inch in most places ; how
ever , heavy showers occurred In a
few localities , with rainfalls ranging
from I1/- Inches to more than 2 Inch
es.
The warm , dry weather of the week
has been very favorable for crop In
terests. The replanting of corn has
progressed rapidly and Is about fin
ished. Some low lands are , however ,
still too wet to plant. The cultivation
of corn has been general In central
and southern counties and is just be
ginning in northern. Corn has Im
proved in condition but the stand is
thin in many fields.
Winter wheat continues in good
condition in most counties , but some
damage from Hessian fly and rust ts
reported from Seward , York. Saline
and Fillmore counties. Oats have
improved in condition and generally
are growing nicely. Alfalfa Is being
cut and a good to heavy crop Is being
secured. Potatoes are growing finely.
Pastures and meadows are In excep
tionnlly good condition.
Sam Coakley Hurt.
Sam Coakloy was throsvn from his
wagon on Fourteenth street last even
ing and sustained some wounds and
bruises. A physician was summoned ,
but it was found that the injured man
did not require much professional at
tention.

MATURE TIMBER IN FOREST RE
SERVES WILL BE SOLD.
DEVELOPMENT THROUGH USE
Lumbermen Will be Interested in the
Fact That the Treco Protected by
the Government are for the Use of
the Public Under Restriction.
Information comes from Washing
ton that the mature timber on the
national forest reserves IB to bo of
fered for sale. This announcement
Is in line with the declared purpose
of the department of agriculture to
develop the national forest reserves
by use. The restriction formerly laid
upon the export of timber from the
states In which the forest reserves
were located has been removed' , and
the law now places no limitation on
the shipment of timber grown on any
forest reserve except those In the
state of Idaho and the Black Hills reserve
servo In South Dakota. The effect of
this change In the law , and the de
clared policy of the department of
agriculture , Is that the timber on the
reserves may now be cut and disposed
of to the highest bidder. On many
of ( lie reserves there are great qnan
titles of mature timber , and on some
of them the facilities for getting It
out at a reasonable cost are excellent.
The forest service , which has charge
of ( ho administration of the reserves ,
Is anxious to begin the cutting of
tills mature timber as soon as possi
ble , and it Is prepared to consider of
fers from lumbermen who wish to
undertake such operation.
It is perhaps well to call attention
to the fact that this announcement
does not mean that the forest re
serves are going to be devastated under
dor authority of the government. On
the contrary , the distinct and definite
purpose of the forest service Is to Im
prove the reserves by utilizing the
material that ts now fit for lumber.
In doing so , it will also provide for
the reproduction of the forest and the
restocking of those areas upon which
forest conditions are defective. Work
of this kind has been successfully
carried on for pen > e years In the Black
Hills forest reserve , nnd has been be
gun with the greatest promise of suc
cess on the lands of the Chlppowa
Indians , In northern Minnesota , from
which It Is proposed to create another
national reserve.
The public In general , and lumber
men in particular , will be Interested
to know that In this last case the re
strictions Imposed by the forester
have In no way hampered the lumberIng -
Ing operations. Timber sold at pub
lic sale , with full knowledge of these
restrictions , brought higher prices
than were over obtained for white
and Norway pine In the same region ,
nnd the slash has been burned and
got out of the way at a cost of about
12 cents per thousand feet board mea
sure.
The supervisor of each forest reserve -
servo Is authorized to receive applica
tions for the right to cut timber ; In
tending purchasers should communi
cate with him , not with the depart
ment nt Washington.
If you have an article that you want
to sell ; or If yon need an article that
you'd like to buy ; or If you have a
house for rent or are after one try
News want ads. They reach thou
sands of people , and among those people
ple there is likely someone anxious
to make a deal with you.
