THE CIRCUS.

A Large Number Of People Come in
to See the Great Eastern Show.
From Tuesdays Daily.
The Great Eastern circus arrived in
town this morning at an early hour on
n special train of nine cars, including
two stock cars two sleeping coaches
and five fiat cars loaded with cages,
chariots and wagons. A large spread
OF canvas was made on the Olney
grounds on South Second street, the or.
ganization showing that 1t was we'll
equipped with tents and other circus
paraphernalia. The horses accompany.
ing the show were sleek.looking ami
mails and the first impression received
by the onlooker was that the show was
above the average of small railway cir
cuses.
The unloading was witnessed by the
usual number of big and little kids and
the operation of erecting the tents also
attracted considerable attention. To-
ward noon there was very respectable
crowd of people lining the streets to see
the parade. A large proportion of the
crwod was farmers and their families
who were in to enjoy the day.
The parade took place at 10 80 and q
very creditable showing was made, two
bands being in line and the parade ex.
tending over u length of several blocks.
The display of horses was especially
fine. The usual free exhibition followed
the parade at the show grounds and q
large number of people attended the
afternoon performance. This consisted
of many fine acts. The trapese exhibi.
tions were good the tumbling was above
the average as was also the bare back
riding. 1t is anticipated that there will
be another good attendance at tonight &
performance. From here the show goes
to Wayne.

About two years before Mr.. Sawyer
retired from the senate his mail one
morning contained touching letter
from n mas In Maryland whose home
had just be-an frightened by the ar
rival of n bouncing boy. The fond
parent went on to tell that the boy
would be named Phlletus Sawyer
Jones and expressed the hope that the
child would grow up an honor to the
name and the possessor of the fine
traits OF character that distinguished
the generous hearted man whose name
would be borne by himself.
Senator Sawyer went to the senate
chamber with a warm glow In his
heart and the determination to send
that fond parent nice big check. He
felt so good that he showed the letter
to Senator Allison. The Iowa man
chuckled as he read 1t and produced a
letter almost identical, except that the
young prodigy was to be named VIII
liam Allison Jones.
1t was too good to keep, and they
told the story to Senator Edmunds OF
Vermont. That stately old gentleman
melted sufficiently to smilingly produce
letter Of similar purport. Then there
ensued comparison Of senatorial
notes, showing that the youthful Mary.
lander had been fairly loaded with dis.
tingulshed names from Justin Morrill,

THE SN|FIEST BALL GAME.
Glenwood the Victor, But Had
to Play Ball.
ANOTHER GAME FOR SATURDAY.

Visitors are Pleased With Norfolk
People and With Umpire Smith.
Game is Witnessed by a Large
Crowd-lowa Boys are Winning.
| From Thursdays Daily
The ball game yesterday afternoon
between the Glenwood, Iowa, team
and the Norfolk organization was un.
doubtedly the fastest and snappiest
game that has been played here this
season.
The Iowa team was enabled to win
the game only by the fact that they have
played together so long that each thor.
oughly understands the other and know
all their best qualities and their weak
nesses. They are gentlemanly in their
conduct and are out apparently for pure
love of the game. They have played
every day since they started on their
tour Of Nebraska and have not yet lost
game, although they have been matched
against one Of Omaha's best teams and
against some of the swiftest teams of
the state. At West Point they were
given to understand that they might ex.
pect shabby treatment at the hands of
the people of Norfolk and were delight.
fully disappointed to find that the esti-
mate was not correct. They assert that
while they had the umpire to play
against at West Point, Smith of Tilden
was the best umpire and gave the quick
est, fairest and clearest decisions of any
umpire they ever played under They
also state that the Norfolk team gave
them the hardest rub of any team in the
state and were fearful that the game
was lost until the last inning had been
played.
The Norfolk team certainly did well
and if held together and practiced will
make one of the strongest teams in the
state. 1t is the general opinion of the
spectators that they made an honest
and determined effort to win from the
visitors. Jaleski put up splendid
game in the box and any team organized
less perfectly than the Iowa boys would
unquestionably have been defeated
His support was very good and there
was a remarkable absence of errors on
both sides. The Glenwood team went
from here to Oakdale for game today
and will return and play another game
with the Norfolk team Saturday.
There was a large attendance of Nor
folk people at the game and the manage.
ment is encouraged to farther efforts to
make the sport worthy of patronage.
Wayne is to play Norfolk tomorrow
afternoon and good game is promised
for both tomorrow and Saturday after
Moons. An interesting game is scheduled
to take place at Verdigre Sunday be-
tween the Creighton and West Point
teams and there will undoubtedly be a
large attendance from this city. 1t is
said that there will be special train up
from West Point on that occasion.

tail was as follows:

Thou shalt not go away from home to
do thy trading, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter.
Thou shalt patronize thy home mer

verify doth thy home printer spread
over the glad tidings of thy goodness

thee.
Thou shalt employ thy own mechan.

their homes to find bread for their
little ones. Thou shalt also consider
him thy neighbor, above all that

Thou shalt not ask for credit, as
goods cost much and the merchant s
brain is burdened with bills. His
children clamor daily for bread, and
his wife abideth at home for lack of
such raiment as adorneth her sister.
Blessed yea, thrice blessed, is the man
that pays cash,
Thou shalt not ask for reduced prices

thine heart and the merchant readeth

"Ha, ha!"
Thou shalt do whatever lieth in thy
power to encourage and promote the
welfare of thine own town and thine
own people.
Thou shalt not suffer the voice of
pride to overcome thee and if other

for thou mayest be deceived.
