Circus to Start. Nwit week Campbell Brothers' cir cus , a Nebraska institution with which Norfolk people are well acquainted and In which they feel u more or less per sonal Interest , will open Its 1908 sea son by appearing In Pairbnry , Neb. , the homo and winter quarters of the elrctm. The circus will make its an nual visit to Norflok on Friday , May 8 , HbowliiK In Wayne the Saturday following. The Falrbury Journal , a neighbor of the Campbell circus , Rives the fol lowing inscription of the results of the winter's activity at Falrbury : Campbell llroa. started out of Fair- bury about a do/.en years a o with a little wngon show , us is well known by those who lived here at that time. From that modest beginning ; , the boys bnvtt worluul up. against some very un favorable circumstances , until today , they own and operate the largest Inde pendent circus in America. In our inspection of the circus , wo visited the circus farm , a mlle and a half from Falrbury. In the past year many improvements have been made at tills natural winter quarters for a great circus. A large barn has been erected for the circus horses , another for the Shetland ponies , still others for the animals of the menagerie , which hat , doubled In size over last year. Among the animals of the menagerie there are now ten lions , two of which were born with the circus last October and are now husky looking cubs. Be fore the show starts out , the herd of lions will be increased to fifteen , five additional ones having recently been purchased. The herd of camels and dromedaries now numbers about fifteen , one of the largest herds in America. The show has a Tartary yak , ofwhich there are but two in this country. This is a species ol buffalo and in Tartary , which is a province of China , the fur or long hair of the yak is used for or namental tassels by the kings and princes of that land. This year two full-blooded Kentucky mares have been added to the show. These , are "cake-walking" horses very popular in the ring on account of their grace nnd beauty , as they keep time to music equal to the beat dan cers of the human tribe. Al Campbell is | n his glory at pres ent with bis trick mule. He is teach ing him to kick a rubber football , two feet In diameter. Al says the mule has kicked' everything else that ever got behind it , and he anticipates an Interesting trick when. "Maud" gets Into the ring with the big football. \Vith the circus there are seven large elephants , two being genuine monsters. Four of these are trained elephants and the history of the ele phants of Campbell Bros , t-bow is the key to the success of their entire en terprise. Several years ago , they had two or three elephants , including "Venus , " the largest. The second day after beginning the season , a fire broke out in the circus train and all the elephants were burned up. Before night one of the Campbell Bros , was on his way to New York to buy more elephants and In a few days , several elephant * -were being shipped by ex press to meet the show in its travels. Last year additions were made to the elephant troupe and four of the ele phants were selected to be trained. During the latter part of last season and during the past winter , trainers have bf en nt work with these monsters training them in new features for the circus , and now the show can boasl of as fine a herd of trained elephants as any t-how on earth. To bring these great beasts into submission and make them perform circus tricks , represents a world of labor and patience. The circus trust with unlimited capital , would have bought a herd of elephants alread > trained. The Campbell Bros. , with un limited pluck , bought the untrainet animals and set to work training them. So they have done with all the other departments. Last year they had about 100 horses ; this year they have 160 and they are in fine shape for the season. They also now have thlrt > Shetland ponies. They have added two Pullman cars , making them five Pullmans ra all. They bate added tbreequarters of a mile of storage tracks w4 will add etlll store next tall They have purchased and Blocked a line ICO aero farm , built building ! ) and painted them In shipshape , bought seven new nnlmal ca ea , repainted all their wagoiiM uml uiailc them shine like uwj bought new tents nnd added to ho sontliiK capacity of their big show cut until now It will seat from 8,000 n 10,000 holding as many people as any IrctiB tent In America. These are Hily a few of the steps In the growth ) f thin show.Ve were Impressed with the advance of the show partlc- ilarly when wo know , as we do , the infiivorable circumstances under vhlch the Campbell HroH. , have work- d.

This show Is entirely a western pro- luct. It IH tin1 largest show ever or ganized In the west and In fact Is a really Nebraska product , or more OK- actly a Falrbury product for the show ins never had any aid from outside , being entirely the work of the Camp- icll brothers and whatever credit is luc for the success of the enterprise , jclongs to them. Campbell Bros. , never permit nor mvo permitted any grafting of any kind uroitmt their show. They steer clear of fakes of all kinds. They try o avoid all misrepresentations nnd Ivc up to their promises. They make 10 claims they cannot substantiate ind their word Is as good as their loud.Ve know them personally for we have lived on the same town with hem for ( Ifteen years. The boys have undo their success hy work , and even low when they own as stated above , ho largest Independent show In this country , they labor side by side with : holr employes , winter and summer , Diilldlng up the show and keeping everything on the move.

Further evidence that the Nebraska pure food law Is not to be made a dead letter law was furnished Satur day afternoon when County Attorney Jack Koenlgstein , acting under the Instructions of the pure food commis sion at Lincoln , filed a second com plaint against M. B. Irvln of the Fair store management , against whom the first complaint was filed. The second complaint charges that hamburger steak In the defendant's possession contained a deleterious In gredient , being adulterated contrary to the pure food law. The pure food commission , through Its agent , bought some of the "hamburger" and had an analysis made by Its chemist In Lin coln , the examination showing the presence of a" sulphite preservative. The pure food commission claims that this sulphite , which Is used by practically every butcher to make their sausage "keep" better , has an In jurious effect on the stomach , hinderIng - Ing digestion nnd breaking down the digestive organs. It works , according to the commission , about the same as formaldehyde In milk against which the pure food authorities have con ducted a vigorous campaign. The Fair store management plead ed guilty to both complaints filed against them. The fine assessed by Justice Lambert was $10 In each case , the minimum fine. A third complaint along the same lines was filed Saturday afternoon by the county attorney against R , R Thiem , who also paid a fine of f 10 , Sunn-y California B < it To YOU Wh On To thoroimhlv Introduce.

SPECIAL SERVICES AT CHURCHES Flowers and Easter Music Brighten the Church Services and Mark the Close of Lent Knight Templar at Trinity. A happy Easter day with cloudless sky , a thermometer at eighty-eight degrees and nature taking on the bright colors of springtime along with the feminine part of the population was the Easter Sunday accorded Nor folk and north Nebraska. Special Easter services , with an abundance of pretty flowers and with special Easter music , were held In the Norfolk churches. The Knights Templar observed Eas ter Sunday according to ancient cus tom by attending service at Trinity Episcopal church. The commandery In full uniform gave an Impressive air to the Easter day services. Nature observed Easter Sunday In Its own -way. A day of bright sun shine followed close upon the first real rain of spring made the world green In a day. Easter Sunday of course brought Lent to a close. With Easter Sunday the pope's recent decree on mar riages became effective. The principal provisions of the new encyclical from the pope are : Marriages of Catholics by civil magistrates will be null and void af ter Easter. Engagements to be binding must bo written and signed In the presence of two or more witnesses. Private betrothals between Catholics after Easter effect no matrimonial obliga tion In the eyes of the church. Fallen- away Catholics , whether they become Protestants or Infidels , are bound by these laws. Bishops after assuming ofllco can perform marriage ceremonies only In their own dioceses. Priests after assuming office can marry only In their own parishes. Marriages will be Invalid unless the consent of both parties Is asked and received by a witness of tae cere mony. Marriages will be invalid unless there be two witnesses beside the priest or bishop. Marriages should take place In the parish of the bride , except for reason. Marriage entered Into In case of danger of death can be witnessed by any priest and two other persons. In the absence of a priest for more than a month Catholics can marry under the civil law In the presence of two witnesses. Norfolk Gets Beatrice Pastor.

Cuthbertcon of Gregory Dies as Result of Runaway. Wallace B. Cuthbertson , a young contractor of Gregory , S. D. , died as the result of a broken leg. About a fortnight ago Cuthbertson and three other young men were forced to jump from a carriage when the team they were driving became unmanageable , through fright nt an automobile. Cuth- bertson's leg was broken near the ankle joint and Infection Immediately set In , The young man was a native of South Dakota , having been born in Hftfid county in IBM. DR. MACKAY SAYS IT WAS THE WETTEST HE EVER OBSERVED. WERE SPILLED FROM A CANOE While He Admits That the Water Wa Wet , the Doctor Says His Hat Kept Dry All During the Trouble Ineiete That He Wasn't Drowned. No , it wasn't because he fell from- the water wagon that he was to wcl. last night. TVe wagon Dr. Macfcay fell from was his own canoe and the place ol the fall therefrom was the Northfork river just below the mill dam. Emll Pribnow , who was also In the canoe , shared In the fall and the resulting wetness. Mackay and Pribnow were out on the river last night In a light canoe using a dip net for minnows. The place where the canoe capsized wa In the dc ep pool just beyond the dam. Dr. Mackay said today that the boat was capsized by being caught In the back suction of water , which ho Bay exists just below the dam In tlmea of Tilgh water and which renders It dan gerous to approach too close to the dam "apron. " Anyway the canoe turned over with both Mackay ant > Pribnow. Dr. Mackay , who Is naturally a little averse to water , got out just as fast as be could. Pribnow couldn't Bwim and managed to grab the canoe , which he clung to until rescued. Dr. Mackay got out without getting his hat wet. The hat hadn't had any thing to do with the accident , he said , and he couldn't see why It should be gotten wet. "The water in the Northfork , " ob served Dr. Mackay this mornings \ the wettest I ever observed at this time of year. " Dr. Mackay said that the report about town last night that he had been drowned was greatly exaggerated. " 1 wouldn't have objected to the of- fair so much If It hadn't have been for the exceeding wetness of the watei , but 1 thought that was rubbing it In , FO I got out , " said the doctor. No ; not even good tenants will al ways "stay" but quick want advcr Using brings others.
