Norfolk entertained ono of the big
gest crowds of people over In the city

Norfolk hopes its visitors extracted
ns much pleasure from the day as did
its townspeople.
The celebration on Saturday was
probably ono of the most successful
events of the kind over hold In this
city. The success of the occasion is
largely duo to the Commorclal club
and the various committees who ard
uously worked to make the event ono
that would reflect credit upon the city ,
as well as to those business ineu who
contributed of their means to finance
the project.
People began arriving early In the
morning to be In time , for nil the fes
tivities , both by team and rail , and
When the special train from Madison
reached the station more than halt an
hour late , the streets were literally
packed with people. Madison fur
nished the largest town delegation ,
more than 600 people coming by train ,
while others drove over by team and
automobile. Columbus , Plntte Center
and Humphrey wore also represented
on the special. Other towns wtth del
egations hero wore Tierce , Plalnvlew , "
Foster , Hadar , Battle Creek , Tllden ,
Nellgh , Oaltdalo , Stanton , Pllger , Bee
mer , Wlsner , Hosklns , Winsldo and
Wayne.
The committees who had charge of
the various , arrangements-were early
at work and by 9 o'clock everything
was in readiness. In fact , much of
the work of preparation had been , ac
complished the afternoon and evening
before. For the accommodation of
those who wanted to hear the oratory ,
a largo tent had been erected on
South Fourth street , Just off of Nor
folk avenue , and this had been com
fortably seated. Directly In front of
this in Norfolk avenue , a large booth
covered with green boughs had been
erected for a rest booth and informa
tion bureau. Along both sides of the
street at the outer edge of the sidewalks -
walks ran long rows of seats , while
shade was provided by massing green
foliage to telegraph , telephone and
electric light poles.
The color decorations were striking
and beautiful. At intervals there were
stretched across the street strings of
red , white and blue electric lights ,
which gave a particularly handsome
appearance at night. For day effect ,
great numbers of American flags were
attached to these strings of lights ,
while at either end of the street , fac
ing the coming guest , were great ban
ners carrying the words "Welcome
Have a Good Time , " expressing the
sentiment of the city toward Its visit
ors. Practically every business house
in the city was profusely decorated
with national colors.
Norfolk avenue from First street to
Seventh was filled with refreshment
stands of various kinds ; there were
some side shows , a bowery dance or
two , band stands at every street Inter
section , and the various apparatus
used In connection with the free at
tractions. The entertainment commit
tee and the committee on sports were
kept busy all day long giving Instruc
tions , keeping the crowd Informed of
coming events and generally seeing
( hat the visitors wore entertained.
The crowds were orderly and seemed
to derive much enjoyment from what
was going on.
Music by four bands during the day
and evening was excellent and enjoy
able , and it was no small degree of
pride that people compared the Nor
folk and Madison bands with the two
professional show bands that took part
in the festivities. The oration of Hon.
H. B. Fleharty of Omaha was all that
the occasion could require , while the
parade , water fight , fireworks , night
parade , the troupe of trained dogs and
goats , the stunts of Al Ritchie the
strong man , the baseball game and
the flremons' midnight ball of fire , all
attracted Interested attention.

Hon. H. B. Fleharty of Omaha Pleases
Large Audience.
It had been planned to have the
oration at 10 o'clock in the morning ,

late arrival of the special train , this
1
fcnuro was posptonod until after tlio
parade.

Hon. 11. 1) . Fleharty of Omaha na
the orator of the day. Mr. Fleharty
Started out by speaking of the "hot
air" given by speakers at Fourth of
July celebrations ordinarily and said
he did not wish to give any and would
bo brief In his address
Ho spoke of the advantages of the
young In this free country because
of the sacrlllccs of our forefathers ,
and then made the sifbjcct of his oration
tion "Dreams and Visions. "
"A dreamer lives forever , " while a
teller dies In a day. Turn away from
toll today and become a dreamer , "
said Mr. Fleharty. Ho theri spoke
of the Pilgrims and their dreams , of
Adams , Jefferson and their dreams.
"It Is not the mhn who does things
any more than tha man who di earns
of them. Adams and Jefferson had
visions of government not by one
man of power but by the people.
The dream of the free and equal.
Men nro not equal so far ns visions
are concerned and a man stands for
equality of opportunity , of right and
privilege. Wo have Washington , Lin
coln , Grant and Roosevelt but tholr
sons are not visionary since vision Is
not transmitted but the accumulation
of ages.
"Some things they dream of were
habeas corpus , right to trial by Jury
of one's peers , no excessive ball and
no false Imprisonment.
"Whllo they looked after natural
life they also looked after political
rights , the right of suffrage and equal
political right of opportunity. "
Ho spoke of the 8 o'clock closing
law for the saloons , and said that he
personally did not believe In it , but
that the legislature made the law and
it must be upheld , and the people
must respect the law.
In conclusion Mr. Fleharty said :
"We must think of the brotherhood
of man. Your rights are the rights of
all men and theri there Is the vision
of service to man.
"No honor so great as the honor of
service. The man who knew more
than all , Jesus , said : 'Let him who
would be great among us be a ser
vant. '
"One more vision possibly the great
est of all and that Is the dream of
the time when war shall bo no more.
Let the United States take first
place among nations in such a vision. "

Four Shot Dead on Dakota Farm.
Aberdeen , 8. D. , July G. J. W.
Christie , a tanner living near Ru
dolph , his wife , his daughter Mildred ,
aged 18 years , and a form hand named
Michael Soynmlne were murdered by
tramps. Emll Victor was arrested for
the murder. It is supposed that the
murder was the result of an attempt
to get a largo sum of money supposed
to have been In the Christie homo.
The murder wns discovered when
John T. Soymalno , the father of the
farm hand who wns slain , went to
the Christie homo to visit his son.
Mr. Christie , who was n man of
considerable wealth and n grain buy
er , was milking a cow in his barn
yard when the unknown person or
persons shot him dead.
The murderer hurried to the house
and finding Mrs. Christie and her
daughter and the Soymalne boy , who
was visiting at the house , prepared
to fight them , the assailant began fir-
Ing. The first shots took effect , and
the two women and the boy fell dead.
It Is supposed the man who com
mitted the crime was acquainted to n
certain extent with the Christie fam
ily and their habits , for few people
knew that Christie kept largo sums
of money in his house. It Is bol loved
he had several thousands of dollars
In his home at the time of the murder.
The entire countryside is aroused.
Bands of farmers were immediately
organized and a pursuit was begun.
The authorities In Aberdeen wore
notified and the sheriff and his depu
ties started at once to the scene of
the crime. The farmers threatened
lynching.
'Mr. Christie was about 62 years of
age , and one of the most prosperous
farmers in the northwest.
Emll Victor was lodged in the
Brown county Jortl hero , charged with
the Christie murders. Ho had worked
at Rudolph was seen In town before
the murder but was missing at the
time of killing. He was arrested at
Northvllle and brought back by Sheriff
Anderson. He was known to have
a silver watch , but was carrying n
gold watch when arrested. The of
ficers claim the watch can bo Identi
fied as belonging to Christie. Victor
denies his guilt , but tells conflicting
stories regarding the possession of
the watch.
Midnight Fire at Clearwater.
Clearwater. Neb. , July 6. Special to
The News : The biggest celebration
ever held In Clearwater ended in one
of the most disastrous fires of her
history. Just before 11 o'clock Sat
urday night the hardware store of
John L. James was seen to be afire.
The alarm was sounded-but when the
store door was opened the fire fight
ers were driven back by the blinding
smoke and before anything could be
done the flames burst through thereof
roof at the rear , end of the store and
in a few minutes the whole building
was a mass of flames. The rapidity
of the spread of the fire was helped
along no doubt by the machine oil ,
etc. , kept In the back room and also
by the ammunition of which there
was a large amount in stock.
Fortunately there was plenty of
willing help at hand as the celebra
tion was not yet over , and as soon
as the fire bell was heard a small
army of fire fighters threw them
selves into the work of saving adJoining -
Joining buildings. The residence of
Mr. James , to the south of the sfore
building , and the machine shed im
mediately to the north , were too close
to the burning building to be saved
and before the store had collapsed
these too were in flames. However ,
most of the furniture in the house was
saved in a more or less damaged con
dition.
The Macualey building , north of the
machine shed , was kept from catching
fire only by the most Taliant efforts
of the bucket brigade , the line of
water carriers keeping Its roof and
south wall saturated with water. The
Tyson house , to the northwest of the
hardware store , was also In the grav
est danger and its roof was deluged
with water and kept covered with
wet carpet during the heat of the con
flagration. The barn , to the rear of
the Tyson house , caught fire but was
extinguished only by the most heroic
effoits of the fire boys. Had it burn
ed it is almost certain the Tyson
house woulcj have gone. /
The origin of the fire Is unknown.
Mr. James was Just retiring when the
alarm was sounded and he Is totally
unable to account for the fire. It may
have been started by boys In the al
ley back of the store but this theory
does not agree with the facts that
the fire seems to have originated on
the inside of the building.
Mr. James carried a stock of goods
Invoicing about $6,000. A conserva
tive estimate of his entire loss would
bo $10000 with Insurance covering
about half.
With the exception of this disaster
the day's celebration was a pronounc
ed success.
Barton Delivers Oration.
Hon. Silas R. Barton , state auditor ,
delivered the address of the day , an
able and eloquent plea for more pa
triotism in this money-making age.
His words were warmly received by
an audience that filled the big tent
to overflowing.
Free open air attractions and band
concerts by the Royal band entertain
ed the biggest crowd ever seen in
CJearwator between the principal
events of the day's program.
At 3 p. m. the Royal and Ewlng
baseball teams began their contest
for the honors of the day and the
purse offered to the winners. The
score of 16 to 12 In favor of Royal
looks very amateurish on paper but
it was a far better ball game than
the score would Indicate. Royal's
