IS NO INCREASE OVER 1007 Out No Increase Waa Expected During the First Week of the School Year on Account of the Unfortunate Con dition of Dulldlng- Norfolk boys nnd glrla to the num her of 983 gathered up their school "thlngn" and went to ncliool lust week. That number of pupils enrolled In the city nclioolH last week , according to the BtiitlntlcH of the superintendent's olllce. The attendance mark for the first week does not show an Increase ever the first week of last year. In fact no ono expected that It would on-account of the unfortunate building situation that confronts the Norfolk schools as a result of the firo. Still the figures are about the same as last year which Is encournglug In view of the nctunl decrease In high school nttcndnnco duo to the luck of regular high school quarters. The different schools report the fol Rowing first week enrollment : Grant building 253 Lincoln buildings 30 High school 1-10 Grades , Gluey building Washington building 180 Jefferson building 25 083 No comparisons can bo made wltl la t year becnuso the high school fire wiped out nil school records bnck o last spring. The now system of rec ords will bo filed In a fire proof safe HO that no future fire can repeat the damage In this direction. Norfolk schools are In a healthy con ( litIon and with the completion of th now high school building In January and the resulting rearrangement o classes among the other buildings nn attendance boom Is Hinted to set In The high school attendance will tnk rapid strides upward at that tlmo. There Is ono now feature of schoo attendance this year resulting from r loglslntlvo cnnctment last winter. Ir cities of Norfolk's size all children in dor sixteen must attend school durln the entire school year. There are cer tain exceptions made between the ages of fourteen nnd sixteen but the new law Is stringent on insisting on a full year's attendance. IMMENSE THRONG OF PEOPLE ' FROM EVERYWHERE. CIRCUS PARADE WAS MISSED The Big Barnum & Bailey Circus Rolled Into Norfolk From Omaha , Early Tuesday Morning and Was Greeted by Great Crowd. The magic of the name of Barnum , still the trademark of supremacy In the circus world , was amply attested In Norfolk Tuesday. It was a perfect circus day , a Sep tember day built to the order of north Nebraska for the greatest show on earth. The crisp atmosphere and the cloudless sky called to north Nebraska to tnko a day off and go to the circus. Tuesday was not lone circus day In Norfolk , It was circus day ns well In north Nebraska. Visitors came to the city on the evening trains and from the west on the morning passenger from Chadron. A circus day crowd filled Norfolk avenue long before the noon trains poured their crowds Into the city. The first section of the Barnum & Bailey big show arrived In Norfolk early In the morning but It approached the noon hour before other sections bringing the rest of the giant circus began to arrive. Tents from the first section of the circus soon converted the Union Pa cific grounds Into a gigantic city of tents. Nearly all the canvas of the big show outsldo of the main tent came in on the first section , loaded out of Omaha while the evening per formance was still in progress. Cook tents , horse tents , the big animal tents soon crowded the big circus grounds , clear evidence that the Olnoy grounds could never Have held the greatest show on earth. Save for a llttlo moro system Bar num & Bailey tents go up like other show tents. And the greatest show on earth was willing to press the Norfolk contingent of small boys Into service In the absence of many of Its regular crow on the delayed sections. The amputation of the old time pa rade was a noticeable feature of cir cus day. It was the first parndeloss circus that has ever visited Norfolk. The absence of the parade lent greater Interest to the preliminary operations of the big show. Another effect was seen In people from the farm delaying their circus day past the noon hour. NEEDLE VENDER WAS WINGED BY CARROLL MARSHAL. IS NOW IN KANSAS PRISON Stranger Who Was Winged by Marshal - shal Maher at Carroll During the Period When the Country Was HuntIng - Ing Hlgglns , la Now In Stripes. Carroll , Nob. , Sept 10. Special to The NOWH : Word reaches hero that a needle vendor named Straddler , who was shot hero by Marshal Maher last aprlng as a result of mistaken Identity , IH now In the Kansas penitentiary. Straddlor was thought by Marshal Maher to bo Hlgglns , slayer of the Copplon , who was lynched at Bancroft Word was telephoned to Carroll that Hlgglns , the murderer , had escaped In that direction. When this stranger walked Into town Marshal Maher or dered a halt Palling to stop , Strad dlor received n bunch of shot For a tlmo Straddlor was In the Wayne jnll. Then ho loft and now ho Is In the Kansas stnto prison. HIGGINB' GHOST COMES BACK. Bancroft Bridge Almost Useless to Indians. Lyons , Nob. , Sept. 10. Lorla Hlg Ins' ghost will not down , according to nillun superstition. Since Hlgglns vas lynched by the mob near Bancroft , hey say : "White man , ho como back nd sit on the brldgo all night" See o Indian has dared to cross the brldgo luce the lynching nt night , nnd oven vhon they crosa In the daytime they iiako tholr horses go on the "dead run , " load or no load. Ono or two , vlll not cross the brldgo alone ; they , valt until they get a big crowd , and hen all go with a whoop across the 'atal brldgo. Last week n party start- 3d from Bancroft for their homo on the eservntlon. and as It waa getting late hey urged their horses to utmost peed so ns to get across the bridge > eforo sundown , as that Is the tlmo hey claim the spirit of Hlgglns takes ( H station there , In n sitting position. . \a they ncared the brldgo their speed jecnino greater , nnd nil begnn whoop ng yelling to help drown out their 'car. 'car.A A smaller party heard the din am noise and thought the spirit had at acked the Indians , so they got scarei ; and returned to Bancroft to await the rising sun before they would attemp o cross. And now they will not go across the bridge even In daylight , but go up around by Ponder , some twenty miles out of their way. EFFECT OF LYNCHING. Wayne County Man Tried to Cut His Throat Brought to Hospital. Wayne Herald : Ono evil of mob violence Is shown in the rollex on weak minds. A man under a delusion that the Bancroft lynchers had discov ered they had taken the wrong culprit as the Coppel murderer nnd that they were after him ns the renl criminal Is now In the Wayne county jail. Sheriff Mears received a midnight call from Leslie precinct Monday night with instructions to bring a doctor and hurry , for a man had cut his throat and was liable to bleed to death. The call came from the Henderson home , which Is ono of'tho Sullivan farms near the old Slaughter place. In company with Dr. Williams the sheriff arrived at Henderson's about 3 o'clock and found several men guard ing an unfortunate who had attempted to cut his throat with n big butcher knife and had succeeded in inflicting a gash about a half Inch deep and two Inches long In the fleshy part of the neck , from which ho had bled profuse ly. After the wound was sewed up the fellow was brought to town In the carriage. It appears that the man had fled from a gang of railroad laborers while working near Pender , because he thought they were susplclonlng him as the Copplo murderer. He said he escaped from their hands several days before and had hid In the weeds and brush and slept In haystacks , and that ho was glad ho had got away. Ho walked unannounced Into the Henderson homo , where several wo men were preparing supper for the threshers at that place. His actions were such that it was evident ho was demented. But when ho picked up a knife from the kitchen tnblo and slashed his neck , the men were called for and ho was overpowered and guard ed until the arrival of the sheriff. He gave his name as Joon Coleman , and Is apparently about thirty-five years of ago. The commissioners of Insanity will have him sent to the Nor folk asylum this week. TUESDAY TOPICS.

Battle Creek Enterprise : James Qlllesplo of Emerlck was In Battle Creek Monday for the first time since his return from a trip to his old home In County Denlgal , Ireland. Ho had a delightful voyage both ways and.un- llke a majority of the passengers he escaped the usual seasickness. Mr. Glllesple had not Informed his three brothers of his Intended visit , and after being apart for twenty years the reunion was indeed a happy one. Several weeks were spent In touring through Ireland and England. Dublin was visited and a few days were spent at the world's exposition In that city. Mr. Gillesplo says that Uncle Sam Is apparently little Interested In this affair , as he noticed very few American exhibits , though American machinery Is extensively used In the country and especially so by the farmers. As to crops In Ireland , ho says they are very poor on account of an extremely rainy season. During his entire stay ho enJoyed - Joyed the sight of the sun only a few days. While In England Mr , Glllesple visited London for the first time and saw the principle sights In the world's largest city. "Candidly , " he says , "I'd rather shop In Battle Creek , where the streets are fewer , cleaner , wider and not quite so long. " Liver pool was also visited nnd It was at this port he took passage for home. We hear a great deal about how much bet ter European railroads are than those of the United States. This , ho says Is all bosh. The faro Is about two cents n mile , the same as In Ne braska , but accommodations for the ordinary traveler are very poor. It is true the trains are not allowed to be crowded as In America , but the coaches aside from those reserved for the pinheaded - headed aristocracy are no moro com fortable than the common American freight caboose. Hotel rates are high and the European regards the Ameri can only for what there may bo In his pocketbook. John Gillesplo , a nep hew , returned with Mr. Gillesplo and will make America his future homo. As a general rule your store has prospered In proportion to the extent nnd attractiveness of your advertising in this newspaper. Isn't It true ? NAMES OF MEN TO APPEAR IN NORFOLK MONDAY.
