Annual Normal Entertainment.

The auditorium was crowded last night
on the occasion of the annual liter
airy entertainment of the normal school
students. The elaborate programme was
exceptionally we'll rendered throughout.
The normal school entertainments are
very popular with the public. They are
always honored with large and apprecia-
tive audiences. That of last night was
the very best ever given by these stu
dents.
The music and literary numbers of the
programme were of high order through
out. The impersonation of the world
wooing the beautiful queen of Hawaii
was novel and thrilling feature. The
Mother Goose drill in lighter vein was
equally entertaining, The farce at the
close sent everybody home with ligh,
heart.
These normal entertainments are grow
| ing SO rapidly in public appreciation that
the need of more room in the near future
to accommodate the audience is generally
recognized. The Lewiston public forcibly
express appreciation of our school by lib
eral patronage of their entertainment
which are given for the benefit Of the
library fund.

The Order of ElkS.

! There is no doubt that within a short
the order of Elks, one of the most benrv-
olent of all societies, and one of the jol-
liest, as well. 1t is an order histriouic
in its inception, wherein only was known
the actor; but one day an actor. with a
bright thought, read lines from Shakes
peare, in effect "the world IS a stage upon
which all men are players y and with
the heartfelt benevolence characteristic
of the Elks, il was decided at once to ex-
tend the order. 1t has been extended
until its membership embraces governors
of states, senators, congressman, lawyers,
doctors, and in fact, men in all classes OF
life and following all honorable avoca-
tions.

Wreck of the Naomi.

A dispatch from Potlatch relates
that O'Clock Wednesday smoke was
noticed far down the river and soon the
little steamer owned by Wren & Green
ough, contractors on the Clearwater ex-
tension of the Northern Pacific, hove in
sight. When the little boat struck the
rapids below the Potlatch, she lodged
from one side to the other, bht could not
get over the rapids. Her bow was then
turned down stream and the boat took
refuge under the lee Of the island for the
night
Next morning the boat tried the same
tactics, but failed to pass the rapids. A
line was then taken ashore and fastened
above the rapids, and after most severe
lstrain on the rope the boat went over.
After short rest by the side of the
steamer Hanaford, a new start was mads
under full head of steam for Greenough'
1 camp, mile further up the river. Th'
boat has5 been gone about two hour
d wnen men on the Hanaford heard call
for help and saw the littie steamer drift
ling helplessly down the middle Of th
stream.
/ The life boat was quickly dispatches
from the Hanaford and the steamer an
crew were reached just in time to say
them from going over the rapids.
It appears that some accident occurre
to the little steamer rendering her nls
chinery useless shortly after the bos
passed this place, The boat is being n
, paired, and the crew is stalking rest afts
: two days of excitement

A Sudden Death.

Dougall McLelland a bridge builder
by trade died unattended in room 49,
at the Hotel DeFrance yesterday be-
tween 10 a. Ill. and p. III. He ate his
breakfast at O'Clock and went to work
Oh the Nineland bridge. His assign
nlent was on the opposite side of Snake.
He took sick before he crossed the river
and went to DIR. Browns office. He al
most fell into the office so near did his
condition approach state of collapse.
He was assisted to couch where re-
storatives were administered. He re-
vived in few minutes sufficiently to
state that his heart was affected. In the
course of an hour he recovered sufii-
ciently to leave the doctors Office and
secure room at the hotel. He had been
a boarder at the hotel for three months
but he roomed elsewhere He secured
this room SO that he would be i'll reach
of assistance.
The doctor called an hour after the pa
tient had gone to his room, and found
him somewhat better but he advised him
that he should call some other physician
i'll consultation. He said he could not
afford to pay SO many doctors. He was
not seen again alive.
About 1890 p. III. +. f. Trombly an
employer of the hotel, called at the
room and found the corpse lying upon
the bed. He seemingly had died with
out struggle.
Mr. Davidson, upon being informed o
the death, notified the coroner. He
testified that he did not realize the dan
gerous condition of the man when hs
assigned him the room, but he had in
over.
The deceased has a brother in the city
who was not notified of his serious illness
The doctor testified that the deceased
realized his danger, and it is inexplicablt
that his brother and roommate was no
notified. Though the brothers roome,
together they worked OH different depart
ments of the bridge on their RESPECTIVE
sides of the river. The brother says HI
did not know of his sickness, or of hi
being subject to attacks of heart disease
He was we'll at the breakfast hour. HI
had the severe attack within thirty min
utes after each went his different cours
to work.
| DIR. Brown testified that he admins
istered simple restoratives when he al
tended the patient. He applied hot waite
bottles to his side. A large black bottl
in the room aroused suspicion, but it wa
found to be harmless bottle of waite
used to promote warmth by DIR. Brown.

ing Of Frank Robinson, d. Caffery, J.

4 CITY'S DEAD. DURING THE REGENT COLD SPELL IN NEW YORK'S
 MORGUE
ITO BODIES ACCUMULATE.
And It Was Not Until Monday That tn Remlins Could b
 Buried.

New York, Feb. g Packed away, each Tn. . refrigerator cell amid tons of ice, there were in the morgue until yesterday 170 bodies of the city's unknown and homeless dead, the largest number ever gath cred there since the great morgue was built. The cause of this was that the city burying ground on Harts island was hemmed in by ice aud could not be approached by steamers of the charity department.
 The city supports on Hart's islaod a colony Of forty men, whose duty it is to dig the graves m the potters' field. These men for tea days have been without occupation. The tug Fidelity and the side wheeler Thom- as s. Brennan, of the charity de partment fleet, both tired to break through the ice which surrounds Hart'ssislahd, but failed. On Sun day the big steam lighter Columbia was fixed up for. a rush through the ice. One hundred and sixty-one. bodies were loaded on her, and she steamed up to Hart's island. In, spite of all the captain could d2, he was not able to force a passage.
 The Co,umbla tried it again Mon4 day, however, and reached Hart's island, after aIhard battle with the Lice.
