bers of the association , Miss Annlo
McUrldo and H. Carroll Powers , lost
tholr lives by drowning. She spoke
of the absence of former Superinten
dent O'Connor , now superintendent of

Incoming class.
Unrtlo Elsoffor responded briefly ,

the pace sot for them , and that they
would try Iholr best to como up to the
mark. Mr. Elsoffor's response was
clever and well received.
Superintendent Uodwoll was Intro
duced as a guest who had to pay his
way with n speech. Mr. Bodwoll's
toast contained a bit of sound thought-
food for the young man.
Education and Success.
Ho quoted "Our own good and greal
Professor Uossoy of the stale univer
sity , who has Issued a statement , after
careful rosonrch , that of all uneducat
ed people , only 3 percent In business
succeed ; of those who complelo the
eighth grade , only 7 per cent succeed ;
of those who complete the high schoo
1C per cent succeed , while of those
who go through college , 20 or 27 poi
cent succeed.
Ho said that despite some opinions ,
ho believes the young man never had
such opportunities for success as to
day. Ho compared the employes whenever
never advance , because they always
have themselves In view , and those
who go to the front , by working hard
for tholr employers , to the two frogs
In a milk can. Ono gave up nnd died ,
the other kicked until ho churned the
milk to butter. "Never give up ; al
ways keep kicking as hard as you can ,
not matter what happens , " ho said.
Toastmaster Hays endorsed the view
that the young man today has bettor
chances than over before to succeed.
"You succeed by doing things bettor
than others ; otherwise , otherwise. "
Miss Von Goetz , principal of the
high school , spoke on "Moulders of
Humanity. " In clover manner. She
spoke of the Impossibility of altering
n bronze stnlue after It Is cast , and
the same Impossibility In human char
acter changing. Each mind has Its
Influence on humanity roun dabout.
"Gumption" formed the topic for a
spicy toast by Miss Mlno McNooly ,
In which she told of the race for dollars
lars to attain success , and the energy
nnd pluck necessary to win.
William Darlington gnvo a witty
toast In the "Summing Up. " Ho told
of high school ambitions that are not
always attained In a moment. "I
chose n literary career , " ho said , "and
now I am n man of letters. " ( Mr.
Darlington Is one of the city mall car
riers In Norfolk. ) Ho spoke of the
prldo with which a graduate regards
his diploma. "I hnvo only won a sin
gle prize slnco , " ho said , glancing nt
his brldo In prettily complimentary
form. Ho said the now class was bet
ter looking than usual , and ho was
glad to be ono among them.
Mr. Hays spoke of the man who
paid | 60 for teaching n parrot to talk ,
and wanted a rate on silencing It.
And ho closed Avlth a story of the wo
man , ill , who needed rest The doctor
joked nt her tongue nnd declared
lint , too , needed rest.

LITTLE CRIPPLE GIRL NEARLY
VICTIM OF AN ASSAULT.
3HILD BUT FIVE YEARS OLD
Roy Nichols , n Young Man Who Says
He Comes From Lincoln , Arraigned
In Justice Elsclcy's Court on a Most
Serious Charge.
I From TtiPHiiuy'H Dnlly.l
A young man IS years old , giving
the name of Hey Nichols , was up before -
fore Judge KlHohiy yesterday morning ,
charged with attempting an atrocious
clrmo upon the person of lltllo EHthor ,
the fi-ycnrs-old daughter of L. Sehon-
/el , who Is not only a crlpplo but par
alyzed on the left side.
The attempted crime wns committed
In the rear of the Schonzol meat mar
ket on Main street. The llttlo girl was
HOOII playing about the yard by some
neighbor women , when suddenly they
noticed Nichols approach , pick her up
nnd hug nnd kiss her. Then the youth
nnd the child sat down upon the stops
for a few moments , nnd by this time
ono of the women wns on her to in
form Mr. Schcnzol of what was going
on. At the moment Mr. Schonzol wns
waiting upon two or thrco customers ,
nnd not quite understnndlng what the
woman meant , ho sent his assistant
Dave Humphrey to Investigate.
Humphrey did not find the man nnd
child upon the stops , but wns directed
lo the coal house by another neighbor
who had seen the performance. Ho
ran to the door of the house nnd there
found Nichols sitting down with
the llttlo girl on his lap , and lo nil np-
penrnnces Humphrey wns just In time
lo prevent the commission of a horri
ble crime.
'
Humphrey made short work of Iho
young man nnd In a Jiffy ho had given
him a good lusty Jolt and wns marchIng -
Ing him toward the city Jail , where
ho was turned over to n policeman and
locked up.
A warrant was Issued from Justice
Elsoloy's court and the young man
placed under arrest. The trial was
sol for 11 o'clock , but owing to the ah-
sonco of County Attorney Koenlgstoln
It wan postponed until afternoon.
When Mr. Schcnzol told the fore
going story to n reporter his eyes filled
with tears ns ho spoke of his Innocent
llttlo crippled child nnd the horrible
fate which Hho so narrowly escaped.
Llko probably every other child of
her ngo In town she had been allowed
to play In the yard without thought of
serious consequences. Mr. Schonzol's
family llvo over tno moat market , nnd
the children must necessarily piny at
the rear of the shop to bo out of doors
nt nil , or else on Main street.
Hey Nichols says ho comes from
Lincoln nnd thnt ho has been here
about two months. Ho wns working
In the Junk shop of Labovltz & Bros-
lov , which is next door to the Sclicn-
if ] market. This shop wns closed
yesterday morning , the proprietors
having rolirod from business here.
Nichols has heon boarding nt the Nor
folk house.
At the afternoon session of the
court , the county attorney was still
absent nnd the case went to trial with
out attorneys on either side. The wit
nesses for the complainant lold prac
tically the story as printed , while Nich
ols denied tnat ho was In the coal
house nt all.
At the conclusion of the hearing , the
judge took the matter under advise
ment until 0 o'clock this morning.
Persons who heard the testimony nro
of the opinion thnt the vordlct will bo
that the young man attempted to com
mit an assault , which being a peniten
tiary offense , will require thnt the
Judge bind him over to the district
court.

An incident of the wreck at Cali
fornia Junction between the Sioux
City passenger and a freight , Is thus
related : "Immediately after the first
shock , caused by Engineer Murphy ap
plying the air brakes , an unknown wo
man , with a baby , went Into hysterics
In the day coach , and had not the pas-
ill/I ntnrfpr ?
a panic. When'the baggage car went
over the passenger engine , the electric
lights were cut off and the entire train
was in darkness , but when the pas
sengers discovered that the train was
still on the track , and there was no
sound of grinding steel or crushing
cars , they were cool and good natured
about the misfortune , and tried to
compose the woman who was hysteric
al. They learned she had a narrow
escape from death in the San Francis
co earthquake , and was on her way
to some of her people. The shock
frightened her , nnd awoke the memo
ries of the earthquake , which caused
her excitement. "
A representative of The News who
was In Nellgh yesterday became con
vinced that the article which appeared
in this paper last Thursday , under the
heading "Circus Spoils the Day , " did
not represent the true sentiment of
the town. The prevailing opinion
seemed to bo that while they would ,
rather have had the circus como some
other time than Memorial day , yet
the genuine courtesy which the old
soldiers received from Campbell Broth
ers left It so that there could bo no
real complaint. The management of
the show offered the old soldiers the
use of their band in the forenoon , did
not give the show parade until after
the Memorial day exorcises were all
over , and offered the use of a tent for
the exorcises , but the latter was not
accepted because of the rain. Many-
old soldiers were given free tickets
Into the circus and they were treated
In a gentlemanly way by the Camp-
bolls. At the meeting of the soldiers ,
the Campbells wore given a vote of
thanks for their courteous treatment ,
and Instead of there being trouble over
the fact thnt the show was there , ns
stated by the correspondent , the old
soldiers and business men generally
were satisfied that under all the cir
cumstances no one had reason to com
plain.
