LESSON FROIHHE TIMES
Dr. Tlndall Draws a Thanksgiving
Moral From Flurry.
The financial flurry America Is just
coming out of ought not , so Dr. D. 1C.
Tlndall told his audlcnco in the union
Thanksgiving services , Interfere at all
with the thanks due from this section
of the west for the evident prosperity
of the land. Dr. Tlndall even saw el
ements In the flurry for which to be
thankful.
The people were to learn valuable
lessons ] from the flurry , the Thanksgiv
ing i speaker said. The stress showed
how ] solid and conservative the west
ern banks were and ought to teach the
people to trust our banks nnd bankers.
The people ought also to learn to live
with more economy and to frown on
gambling ' and stock manipulation.
Dr. Tlndall found many other lessons
both material and spiritual for abun
dant thanksgiving and these reasons
he pointed out in the course of an
eloquent address.
Music at the union services was fur
nished by a male quartet consisting of
Messrs. Gow , Klesau , Parker and Sol
omon.
Thanksgiving In the City Jail.
Thanksgiving turkey in the city Jail.
That was Chris Paulson's lot and It
wasn't so bad cither , considering that
Paulson is of the species "hobo. "
Paulson was the only occupant of
the city hostile when the dinner bell
rang Thanksgiving. The city's bill of
fare isn't very appetizing ordinarily
but Chief Flynn's heart melted and ho
did the honors Thursday for his soli
tary guest.
Something Doing Every Night.
There's always something doing at
the Auditorium. The theater Is never
dark a night. Whem it Isn't a real
show , It's one of those mighty fascinat
ing moving plcturo shows with light
vaudeville. The pictures are simply
rich Interesting , Instructive and en-
tortalnlng. It's the best show you
over saw or will see for ton cents.
See It tonight. Now pictures.
NEW HIGH SCHOOL NOT PROGRESSING -
RESSING FAST AS EXPECTED.
BOARD SOMEWHAT DISTURBED
Coit'act Calls for Completion of Build-1
Ing by Januc y 15 , Gut It Will Not
be Finished Then Holiday Vaca
tlon Begins December 20 ,
Members of the Norfolk board of
education are somewhat disturbed over
the slow progress bring made on the
new high school building , to bo the
now home of the high school and the
seventh and eighth grades.
The contract calls for the comple
tlon of the building by January 1C ,
1908 , but It Is now absolutely Impos
sible that the big building can bo
turned over to the board within many
weeks of the date specified.
One member of the board stated
Monday evening at the December
meeting of the board that ho was
alarmed because ho thought the struc
ture might not bo entirely completed
within the present school year. It Is
considered quite imperative that the
building should bo finished by the lat
ter part of March If Norfolk Is to han
dle satisfactorily the big north No-
braskn's teachers' convention which
is scheduled to meet here the first
week In April.
. . .Contractor Valln of the Stanberry
construction company places the delay
op the shoulders of the plumbers and
the fact that labor Is hard to obtain.
The board was told last night that the
high school boilers , which are being
built at Fremont , wore nearly com
pleted and ready for Inspection.
The school board Monday evening
instructed Secretary Matrau to have
Architect John Latenser come up from
Omaha. Mr. Latcnsor has boon In
Europe the greater part of the fall
and now that he IH back the board Is
anxious to have him pass on the prog
ress of the building. As far as the
building Itself Is concerned It is gen
erally felt that the Stanberry company
Is giving Norfolk a good building.
The Christmas holidays , the board
decided Monday evening , would begin
Friday , December 20 , school resuming
on Monday , January C , 1908. This pro
vides for a two weeks' vacation.
It had been expected that when the
Christmas holidays were passed the
high school students would bo taken
directly to the new building. Now It
seems that the present temporary
quarters will have to serve at least
through the winter.

territory of rich land , whereas the

hunting season of fifteen days.

general opinion
, however ,
was that there
were plenty of birds
for the finding and
many quail sup

usual.

season for shooting
prairie chicken
and grouse , open since
September 15 , nlso closed. It Is still
within the limit of the law to hunt
ducks , geese , jack snipe , Wilson snipe ,

jack
rabbit Is al
ways with us.
