MID-SUMMER JUBILEE , RACE
MEET AND BALL TOURNAMENT.
WHY NELIGH GETS STAR ACTS
Want Norfolk and O'Neill ' In Base Ball
Tournament Nellgh Connections
Induce Several Star Troupes to Sign
for Mid-Summer Festival.
Nellgh , Neb. , July HO. Fiom a staff
coiiospondent : Nollgh has had some
mighty fine nice meets and midsum
mer festivals during the last four or
five years. But none , they say , to
equal that which is being planned at
the present time , and which comes
August 25 , 20 and 27. The name has
been changed. "The Nellgh Mid
summer Jubilee , Race Meet and Base
Ball Tournament" Is the now name.
It's a long name , all right , all right ,
but Noligh will back it up when the
time comes.
Tor instance , the Rcncllos , sensa-
tlonal bicycle riders , have already
been secured. The star actor used to
live in Neligh , and that's how he
happened to sign up Ho rides a
wheel down an incllno and then , turn
ing a complete somersault in the air ,
lights light side up with care and tin-
hint. It looks , on the pictines , like
a mlghtj sensational act.
Then Teddy brothers , the Omaha
Y M C A aciobats who pel formed
so crcdltablj before the state conven
tion in Norfolk last winter , are com
ing. They'ie nephews of Mis. W. W.
Cole of this city.
The races aie in charge of M B
Huffman , chairman , W. W. Cole , secre
tary ; C. L. Wattles , treasurer ; and
a lather good hand to draw to.
M. B. Hauffman will probably act
as starter at the O'Neill races and
J. S. Weekes of O'Neill will act as
starter here. Mr. Weekes has just
recently returned to O'Neill from the ) I
west and is said to have gone into 'I '
business at O'Neill. Starters' licenses
will be secured for them. No circuit
official starter will bo emplojed this
season.
During the base ball tournament It
Is probable Norfolk and O'Neill teams
will meet here. That is the hope of
E. B. Bockwlth , who has charge of
that end of the fireworks.

WHERE TO TAKE THE CHILDREN
Ticket Sale Is Now Brisk Season
Ticket Is a Money Saver Norfolk
Will Hear Two Men of Nation Wide
Fame Dolllver and La Follette.
What to do with the chlldien ?
That is one question that the Nor
folk chantauqua has solved. And the
answer Is to hi ing them to the chau-
tauqiin.
Apart fiom the Auditorium tent Is
another big lent It Is the children's
piny tent. It is far enough fiom the
main tent that the happy laughter of
the chlldien will not dlstutb the chau-
tanqua speakeis.
It will not ho all play that time
spent In the chlldien's tent. It will
bo more than phi ) . The young lady
In charge of the tent is Miss Mabel
Rilling , physical dliector of the DCS
Molnes Y. W. C. A. She Is a college
woman and a woman specially trained
lor her woik.

Ticket Sale.
x
As the chautauqua draws near and
it is just a day or so away the sale
of season tickets is showing a brisk
advance The season ticket costs $2
I' and is tiansfernble. Economy should
dictate the pin chase of a season ticket
as the saving is very great. And a
season ticket gives fiee access to the
giounds for ton da.vs.
Program High Class.
It is a piogiam of unusual moilt ,
this chautauqua progiam which opens
In Noifolk next Satin day with an ad-
diess by Senator Dollivor of Iowa. For
a balanced program the ten days
should appeal to every Norfolk citlmi
and to every poison within access of
Norfolk.

Senator Dollivei is One. of the leaders
in the federal senate. Ho Is a na

wires In American politics. He has
been a candidate for the piesldential
nomination. It is no secret that his
friends are looking to 1912 or 1910.
Many Will Camp.
Mtinj chautauqua vlsltois will camp

Attorney Genoial Bonaparte i ailed
to the conloronc'o Solicitor Geneial H.
M. Hoyt ol Washington , Edwin M
Sims ol Chicago , United States dis
trict attorney for the not them tllstiht
ot Illinois , Jumes \VllaMson ! of
Chicago , Mr KluiH' Hist assistant , and
Frank II. Kellogg of Mlinietota
Alter two coniuionces the following
statement was made by the attorney
geneiiil :
"The government will make every
effoit In Its power to secure a revi
sion of the locont decision and opin
ion of the circuit court of appeals lor
the Seventh circuit In the case of the
Standard Oil company of Indiana
either by the court of appeals itself
or by the supieine court of the United
States. The gentlemen who have been
in consultation with me all unlto in
tlie opinion that in the Interest of the
Impartial and effective administration
of our laws such action by the govern
mcnt is demanded by the circum
stances of the case and the possible
consequences If this opinion should
Bland as authority by the govern
ment. To this end an application
for rcargiiment and modification of
the opinion will bo submitted to the
circuit court of appeals nt the earliest
possible moment. Other appropriate
stops will be taken aftciwind , their
chai actor to bo determined by the
court's action upon this application.
The pending prosecutions In which
the giving or receiving of rebates or
offenses of like character will bo
pressed to tilal and judgment by the
government with all accessible enoigy
and as prominently as may be piac-
tlcable In the view of the govern
ment's legal advisers , the reversal of
the judgment in the case recently de
cided In no way affects the moiits of
that contioveisy or the necessity and
duty of bringing to punishment if pos
sible in this and any other cases any
Individual or corporation shown to
have evaded or defied the laws '
In discussing the case Attorney
General Bonaparte took occasion to
refer to the report published In cer
tain newspapers that W. Parmaleo
Prentice , the son-in-law of John D.
Rockefeller , had given or was to give
a dinner to the attorney general , Mr.
Rockefeller and Judge Grosscup , Mr.
Bonaparte said : "I have not the pleas
ure of Mr. Prentice's acquaintance. I
did not know that Judge Grosscup
was here until he had left , and the
dinner Is entirely a figment of n live
ly Imagination. During a political
campaign one must expect s'orles of
this character and It would be unnec
essary and perhaps indecorous to
properly characterize them Barring
its other merits , the tale is wholly
free from any taint of truth "
