HE BEGINS WITH BASEBALL.
Jeffries Starts His Training With the
National Gnme.
Jeffiies Training Camp , Rowarden-
nan , Cal. , Apiil ' . . "Fnimei" Bums
Is the first man in the new moun
tain ti.ilng tamp to spott a black eje
and , stiange as it may seem , it Is
not horn the impact of a gloved list.
The fanner was hit bv. a svvlftlv
thrown baseball while playing with
Jeffries and his nephews this morn
ing and the "smoky wick" Is the 10-
suit. "Jeff" did not go on the load as
was expected. The atmospheie of the
pine country had a somnolent effect
on the big fellow and he remained
between the blankets until the mom-
ing sun was high. When he did arise ,
however , lie busied himself. After a
hearty bieaktast ho called his crew
together and set them to mowing the
grass on a patch of turf back of his
gymnasium. As soon as this space
was cleaned off It was duly installed
as the baseball gioumls and play be
gan.
Jeffiies plays ball. It might be
thought that baseball chasing is rath
er n mild pastime foi a heavyweight
pugilist to do In tiaining but it is
doubttul It " .left" infuses as much ac
tlon into nn > thing else he does. Play
continued tor a full two hours and
befoie it was tluough "Jeff" falily
dripped peisplintion. He was stripped
to undeishiit and pants and even his
clothing was soaked. What is moie
to the put pose , he has ambition him
self. His e.ves danced and lie uiged
his companions to gi eater etforts. It
was nearly lunch time before a halt
was called and while they weie pie
paiing "Jeff's" btoth he splinted sev
eral times along one of the paths be
tween the cottages.
It was given out that " .left" would
not engage In boxing until tomorrow ,
but for that matter it will be several
days piobably before an > thing like a
progiam is followed.
It is well known among those who
followed "Jeff" closely in past train
ing that to him a weighing machine is
a bugaboo. Up at Haibin Springs he
once said that for two pins he'd toss
"the denied thing over In the canyon. "
He likes to do plenty of work and
feel that his frame and limbs are
cleaned of excess mateilal. He avoids
the scales for fear they will Inform
him that he Is heavier than he thinks
' Dlck"Adams , w ho has been "Jeff's"
crony for jenrs , was asked by a San
ta Cnu visitor if he saw much differ
ence in Jeffiies' appealance at present
as compaied with the Jeffries of the
Harbin days.
"All there Is that I can see is that
he has a little less hair , " said obser
vant. Mr. Adams. "His face is as
young looking as it was up in the
countiy and that Is what surprises me.
The pictuies that came back here af
ter he leturned fiom Carlsbad gave
him an older look than I think he now
has. They say the camera can't He ,
but hang me if I don't think It gave
Jeff' the worst of It. As to his ac
tivity , let every fellow judge for him
self. "

A WOMAN AS CHANTECLER.
Maude Adams Tells How She Will In
terpret the Part.
Chicago , April 'J Chailes Fi oilman
has cabled fiom London confirming
the report that Miss Maude Adams
would appeal In the American pie-
sentation of "Chantecler , " play the
lole of the cock , now being acted In
Pails by Gultiv , the French trage
dian.
dian.At
At the close of her present season
in Banle's comedy , "What Every Wo
man Knows , " Miss Adams will begin
teheaisals ot the Rostand fantasy , and
will have It icadv foi pioduetlon in
the eaily tall Until this message
came It was the geneial impiession
that Otis Sklnnei would be Mi. Fioh-
man's selection for the role , although
Miss Aadms * name had been mentioned
of the part of the pheasant , which Is
Intelpreted In Paris by Mine. Slmonc.
The manusciipt was delivered to Miss
Adams this morning at the Congress
hotel. She will receive the scene mod
els and costume plates of the Paris
pioduction soon.
Miss Adams dechued that she had
alieacb determined upon her inter-
pi etatlon ot the role of the cock and
piactlcally had ciystalll/ed in her
mind the message the play contained ,
not only for the Fiench , but for all
peoples , and , In a particular sense , for
Americans.
As played by Gultry , Chantecler Is
"presque un dieu" almost a god. Ho
is a lieio , a cieature of gravity , a
lover of beauty a thinker.
Mifas Adams' idea of Chantecler Is
that he is a composite of gravity and
gayety. The theme of the play , she
believes , is that one should do one's
work , even though it cost love and
life. A man's work In "Chantecler"
Is exemplified by the cock's vain
thought that it is he who , at the morn
ing's crow , raises the sun and lights
the woild. He lives to learn , in a
moment nf distraction , attracted by
the rosslgnol ( woman ) , that the sun
rises despite him. He finds that his
work Is not so important as he thinks
but he persists Just the same.
Miss Adams says that in her mind
"Chantecler" Is a poetic lesson in the
doctrine of faith and hope through
work.
Interurban Looks Good.
Diiectois ot the Noifolk Commer
cial club have alieady taken steps to
ascertain the appioximate cost of the
pioposed interurban line between Noi
tolk and Newman Giove and definite
figmes are expected within a few days.
A meeting was held last night to dis
cuss the matter. The plan is legard-
ed bv Noitolk business men generallv
as oiie highly feasible and one which
would mean a very great deal to the
southern poitlon of the county as well
as to Norfolk. Such lines in Illinois ,
Iowa and other states east of here aie
successful and it is believed the line
in this county would be .it once a pay
ing project.
A Bas the Fly.
The season of the ubiquitous and in
iquitous housefly is upon us. The 11 y
spreads disease , pollutes our food and
is unspeakably filthy. It breeds in
manure and tormenting trash of any
kind. If there are no breeding places
there will be no files. Let us make
an individual effort to keep the town
free from breeding places for files.
All manure should , during the sum
mer , be placed In llyproof bo.xes ,
where there Is not sutllclent to have it
removed ever.v few days. Every house-
holdei should have a rat and llyproof
can for garbage. It will pay in dollars
and cents to keep clean and avoid dis
ease. JH. . Mackay ,

To Race at Brlstow.
Brlstow Enterpiise : A petition was
clidilated last week and every busi
ness man and citizen of Brlstow and
in fact , a few of the farmers , sub
scribed their share toward fixing up
the race track and raising of purses
for laces and other sports. The mer
chants and business men of Bristovv
appreciate the liberal pationage thev
have been given In the past few
months and have agreed to have some
amusement for the farmers on Satur
day afternoons.

Chops Down a Tree , Too.
. Rowaidennan , Calif. , Apiil 9 With
mil a elo/on camera men snapshoot-
ng him. Jim Jeffries did his Hist woik
n his new ttalnlng quarters. It was
iilay , pel haps , that the big fellow In-
lulged In , but he made ot the mliila-
tute baseball game that composed the
inogiam haul work and was not satis-
lied until he had passed a couple of
tiouis with the persphation pom ing
Idun his tacc and showing tluough
tils shiit.
It nttorded an oppoitunity for many
poses , and as it was the first leal woik
tow aid getting Into condition It was
viewed seilously by the huge eiowd.
Clad In an old khaki suit that lias
lone seivlce In many hunting trips ,
the whole topped off with an old cap ,
lelf looked the pait ot a lighter In
tialtiing , and the earnestness with
which ho went about his task was the
best pi oof that he Is anxious to get
down to teal tiaining.
Following the baseball game , which
consisted ot having Fanner Bums bat
the ball at the lightei , Jeff ties skipped
the ) OH ] > and used the dumbbells to
give the newspapei photogiapheib one
mote chance at some snaps.
Just to show his piowess as an ax-
man , Jellrles didn't have to bo coaxed
much to cut down one of the stuiely
pine tiees so thick in tills neighboi-
hood. It used to be the favorite oc
cupation of Jeftiies to chop down trees
and , lemenibeiing his failing for tills
amusement , his ti lends planned a joke
on him.
The dullest ax that the establish
ment affouled was diagged from cover
and laid temptingly befoie the burly
boxer. One blow at the tree convinced
Jeffries something was wiong , and the
only thing that saved Dick Adams , the
perpettator of the joke , was the quick
substitution of a bhaiper cutting tool.
Then Jeffries proceeded to woik.
Begins Boxing Thursday.
Boxing also began. The ring has
been elected and Bob Aimstrong has
appealed. To bieak the monotony
there will be frequent tiips to Santa
Cm/ , which Is only half an hour by
automobile , for a dip in the surf.
Jeff Is pleased with his quarteis ,
which are ideal for training. The
dance hall has been coin PI ted Into a
gymnasium. In the main hall , seating
oOO spectators , will be the boxing ilng
and gymnasium apparatus. Adjoin
ing is the bath and nibbing loom , and
connecting with the latter is a large
loom for lounging. In close uioximity

No Depot for the Junction.
The Northwestern railroad has de-
lined to build a new depot this year
it Norfolk Junction. In reply to a
ettei from the Norfolk Commercial
lub asking that a station be built
here , \'ice President Gardner has
vritten a letter In which he states
hat such an Improvement this year is
out of the question.
It was pointed out in the letter to
he railroad that the present depot fa
cilities at the Junction are highly In
adequate. And since there aie no
suitable station facilities at tne June-
, tion , Norfolk business men believe
that this is the time for the North'
western to lun Its trains up town
where theio is a $25,000 depot. In
- that way the Northwestern could avoid
additional passenger station expend !
ture and still be giving Norfolk the
treatment it deserves in train service
treatment not now accorded this
city.

A Good Show Next Frldny.
I In- best laugh of the ptesent theat-
rital season In Norfolk will come next
Friday when Henry H. HnirlH soiuls
an excellent ( onipuny to the Auditor
ium In the fiunuiiH comedy. "Tho
Tiavellng Salesman. "
Tills show is considered b > many
peoplu as the bust that was been In
New York City last year. The oilglnal
New York and Chicago company
comes to Not folk. It piomlses to bo
one of the treats of the > ear and ad
vance Interest Indicates that the at
traction \\111 be greeted by a packed
house.
Seats are now being reserved by
mall and the legular sent sale will
start Thursday morning.
Henry 11. Harris , who Is the pro
ducer of this show , bent "Thu Lion
and the Mouse" and "The Third De-
giee" to Norfolk and for that reason
Norfolk knows that an extraordinar
ily high grade attraction may be ex
pected.
Story of the Play.
The story of "Tho Traveling Sales
man" concerns Hob IJInke , a jovial
diminuet , who Is compelled to spend
his Christmas day In a lonely village
ot the middle west , and on arrival
llnds in the picsence of Beth Elliott ,
the ticket agent at the depot , a most
congenial person. They btiikc up an
acquaintanceship which soon ripens
Into affection and for the first time in
his life , the young , well-meant dmin-
mei discoveis that'he is enthralled
with the sweetness and beauty of a
charming young lady Through her
ho learns that she is about to lose
a tiact of land , and he at once takes
tepb to piotect her lights , and there-
bv runs counter to his emplojer , who
Tab laid plans to obtain what the girl
hlnks is a worthless piece of real es-
ate , but which has suddenly assumed
consldeiable value , as it is needed bv
he railroad company to complete
' -ome improvements they have in view.
JlaKe jeopaidl/es his own position in
espousing the rights of the girl , and
this leads to many interesting compli
cations. The comedy of the play is
ot a most delicious chaiacter , and
lev or before in the history of the
stage has there been a play which
ncludes so many laughs as does "Tho
Traveling Salesman. " So well does
t depict the life of the diiimmer on
the road , that it has won the endorsement -
ment of the United Commercial Trav
elers of America and the Travelers
Protective association. If the success
attained bv thib play in New York and
Chicago is any criterion , crowded
houses should await itb advent in this
city.
Henry B. Harris will send "The
Traveling Salesman" to this city with
the original New York and Chicago
company , which includes Mark Smith ,
James O'Neill , jr. , Cliftord Stoik , Lawrence -
rence Sheehan , Theodore Kehrwald ,
Daniel Jarrett , Guy B. Hoffman , Emmett -
mett Shackleiord , Robert Hamilton ,
Miss Miriam Nesbitt , Miss Diana Hun-
eker , Miss Marion Stephenson and
Miss Virginia Hamilton.

On Wednesday night there'll be a
popular priced attraction at the Audi
torium in the shape ot "The Matinee
Girl , " which is said to be clever and
meiitorious , coiibidoiing the pi ices be
ing charged.
Profebsional vaudeville for the first
time shown at a moving picture thea
ter here was presented to the public at
the Crystal tills week. The Overland
Four , which consists of home talent ,
however , have not lost out by any
means , and drew two packed houses
in their comedy sketch entitled , "The
School Master. " The Norfolk boys
showed some line talent and made a
decided hit.
The Lyric Comedy company won the
heartb of two packed houses this week
n their comic sketch , "Handy Andy. "
Vritten by one of their members , the
ketch is Indeed clever and deserves
much credit. The boys went to Cres-
on Saturday to put on one of their
: omedy sketches at the opera house.

MRS. ASQUITH IN TRADE ?
The Prime Minister's Wife Said to be
Mistress of a London Shop.
London , Apt II 9. Tiade still seems
to have its fascination for English
women of proud pobltion , but with
means below their desires. There
have been heartburnings in certain
quarters in London over recent re
ports that Mrs. Asquith does not find
it beneath her dignity as wife of the

under the title of a lictltions company.
It is said Mrs. Asquith makes fre
quent quiet trips to Paris to do her
own buying , but the most serious ob
jection to her establishment beems to
be that , though the articles offered
for sale are of high quality , the man
agement is bad.

"Why Is it , " asked a Noifolk busi
ness man , "that on all the maps of
Nebraska Noifolk Junction is iiven
more pi eminence than Is Noitolk ?
There is no such place as Noifolk
Junction as It was many yeais ago
that the Junction came into the coipo-
ration limits. Looking at all maps of
Nebraska It will be seen that Norfolk
Junction Is given prominence in large
black type , while on the other hand
Norfolk is either not mentioned at all
e- or , if it Is , It is named in a dim type ,
making it look like a little place north
into of Norfolk Junction. "
