from Norfolk has been pay
ing attention to a certain man's wife
and while the fireman was making a

an ax and the chase began. When the
two men reached the drug store the
man with the ax was about ten feet

Norfolk avenue.
The light strands used during the
chautauqua will be used to festoon
Norfolk avenue again with a solid
stream of light during the big Trlpp
rush.

The city council last night voted
| 50 towards the expense of the lights
and W. .1. Stadelrnnn , who appeared
before the council stated , that the re
maining amount necessary to be
raised will be secured without making
an additional appeal to the business
men who originally purchased the
lights.
The Incandescent lights will be enduring
during the entire period of the regis
tration , from October 5 to 17 and pos
sibly longer. As part of n Norfolk
advertising scheme they will be of
great value and will to a certain ex
tent overcome the fact that the
specials pass through the city during
the night.
