TII M NnitFni.it WKRKLY NUWR-IOUKNAL : Fin DAY. .IIJNIO m. HIM ? . SMALL DOY WILL THA f ' MOftE DEADLY'TOYS. ' FOR THIS FOURTH 'OF"JULY The Annual Display of Fireworks fop the National Birthday Has Been Put on Display In Norfolk More Noise Than Ever Promised. Firecrackers , large mid small , tor pedoes , cap plutota and sky rockets galore are on unlu In Norfolk today In satisfying profusion and only the fear of police Interference stands In the way of the small boy and two solid weeks of'ante-Fourth celebration. A now Fourth Is only two weeks away and the recurrence of the na- tlonalCtllrthday finds the destructive power of ' the small boy and cap pistol Increase' , six-fold over last year. As far as their history dates cap pistols have be/en , constructed to load with only one'c'np at a time. This year for the first time In Norfolk inventive EC- nlus hasj'placed "six-shooters" on the market and Norfolk youth can now T discharge' six caps in rapid succession , thereby adding to the Joyful noise of the Fourth and increasing the list of Fourth of July victims in small-boy- laud. laud.The The new pistol Is the only novelty on the Norfolk market. Because Nor folk is not to celebrate this year the stock of display and fancy fireworks brought to the city by Norfolk dealers is not large , although calculated to be sufficient for the private efforts at Fourth observance. No new designs are displayed. Cannon crackers have decreased slightly in size this year , the twelve- inch "two for a quarter" cracker giv ing away to a ten-inch "ten cent" cracker as the maximum size on the market , , The "continuance chasers , " the new form of torpedo placed on the market last year are again on sale. No Fourth of July manifestos have been issued from police headquarters in Norfolk. THURSDAY TIDINGS. Dr. O. R. Meredith left at noon for Battle Creek. Mr. and Mrs. J. B.

WAS GREETED BY GOOD CROWD " ' NORTH"'NEBRASKA FINEST COUN TRY HE EVER SAW. LIKES NORFOLK WOMEN , TOO / The Famous Statesman Said a Region's Prosperity Is Indicated by Attractive Appearance of the Ladles Spoke of Growing Public Morals. William H. Tnft , secretary of war and a presidential possibility exchang ed greetings with Norfolk Tuesday af ternoon. The big secretary alighted from the Deadwood passenger nt the Junction depot at 3:05 : p. m. From an open carriage , speaking for several minutes , ho addressed a representative gathering of Norfolk people. Secretary Taft's brief speech in Nor folk was along informal lines. The secretary spoke of the evident prosper ity of the country , ho smilingly said nice things about the Norfolk ladles and misses in his audience and speak ing In a more serious vein declared that there had been an uplift in the morals and politics of the nation. The secretary was greeted by a fair sized and very representative crowd. Citizens from Battle Creek , Meadow Grove and Tildcn were among those who gathered at the Junction depot. The train which brought Secretary Taft to Norfolk was nearly three hours late and this fact , with the muddy roads leading to the Junction station , served to thin down the crowd that would otherwise have greeted the fa mous man from President Roosevelt's cabinet. When the big secretary , bearing a close resemblance to his pictures , soon to be published In every paper In the land with the approach of the presi dential campaign , stepped into the open carriage awaiting him , he was greeted with a hearty hand-clap. Driv en a little distance from the depot to escape the confusion of passing traf fic , Secretary Taft spoke from the car riage. The secretary was introduced by Congressman Boyd of the Third Ne braska congressional district. Secretary Taft said in part : It is an outrage upon you people to Invite you to come down here to listen to a man who is so uncertain in his appointments as to be three hours be hind schedule time. Floods in the Black Hills Interfered with our trip and the delay is the result of accidents for which Providence and not the Northwestern railroad Is responsible. It is a pleasure for me to speak in a town like Norfolk , for I know some thing of the country around about In jour neighborhood. As I came down here Sunday night from Sioux City 1 remarked upon the beauty of the coun tryside , and I am frank to say that I have never anywhere seen a. more beautiful country than that In north ern Nebraska. The prosperity of a region Is con firmed by the healthy , happy , hand some faces of Its residents and the Indies appearing In their most attrac tive mood Is the best evidence of any land's prosperity. Such prosperity signs are visible here this afternoon. It is the hardest kind of work to make a short speech and say anything. We have had ten years of abundant material prosperity. Material prosper ity will lead to degeneration unless it teaches us to more fully appreciate our responsibilities of citizenship. The pessimists are pointing out that this great Increase of wealth which has marked the past few years of our na tional life , will mean corruption and the downward trend of the nation. But in spite of the great amassing of fortunes , this country today has something to show that wo are sound morally. In spite of our growing wealth , there has been a quickening of the public conscience , a quickening of the public morality that has called a halt and has caused men In public of fice and men in charge of great com mercial enterprises , private and public , to guage their actions and deeds in obedience to the law of the statutes and the moral law as well. ( Ap plause. ) This country Is rising to higher and higher levels of morality and our In creasing prosperity will bo used for spreading a greater Intelligence and frrnnfpr mnrnlltv Money is nothing unless a man can base his claim to reputation upon good character , and sooner or later they find that out. AU the failures of a lifetime , but with good character as a foundation , makes a successful career. And all the .successes in the world , without character ' , mean failure. ( Ap plause. ) , , Ladies and gentlemen , I thank you. Immediately , after concluding his speech Secretary Taft rptiirned to the train which was to carry1 bird on to Omaha. With ( the secretary war was Major General J. Franklln-dBel1 ! , chief ' of staff of the UnitjxU S&toa a'firjy , Mrs. , Bell , . Captain' W * " M. Wjrlght , ifiHo tlpneral Bell , and y ndpll-.W.

Other Ynlo men to hear the speaker were Hov. John lllnes and James Aubery , Jr. Secretary Tnft In Norfolk was In good humor and , save for n slight cold contracted In his western Nebraska trip , was In excellent health. The ef fects of the ptomnlno poisoning In Minneapolis last Friday had passed. To the few who gained his side In the short Journey from his cnrrlnge to the car stops the Hociotnry had a hear ty hand-shake. Doforo climbing up ( lie steps Into the sleeper , Secretary Taft turned to iixchnngo words of partIng - Ing with three young ladles who had greeted him , Some three hours behind bin sched ule , Secretary Tnft left Norfolk for Omaha to be the guest of Omaha Tuesday evening , before leaving that city for Fort Loavonworth , Knn. , at 11:15 : Tuesday night.

The Hecretary's short address result ed from a request made to him by a representative of The News when the not-rotary passed through Norfolk Sun day night. Mr. Tnft made bhort addresses nt Ixng Pine mid O'Neill and appeared on the platform at almost every town onroute , crowds greeting him nt onch point. In many places lings had been lint up In honor of the distinguished guest. The Norfolk band had been engaged to help greet the secretary of wnr nt the Junction , but owing to a misun derstanding ns to the time for the train to nrrlvo , the band fulled to ap pear until after the secretary hniUfln- Ishcd his speech. Secretary Tnft wns more than pleased with the size of the crowd which greteed him here , understand- IIIK as be did that the nubile bad been dlsnppolnted ns to the train schedule. Death Due to Earthquake. Otto A. Hirsch , the son of two of Norfolk's oldest and most respected residents , Mr. and Mrs. P. O.

Arriv ing In Norfolk last March the sick man was taken to the homo of his sister , Mrs. Tlarry Lodor. Otto Hirsch came to Norfolk with his parents , Mr. and Mrs. P. O. Hirsch , In 1883.
