Alumni Meeting.

The banquet given last even
ing by the Alumni Association
in honor of the class of 'O3 was
a very enjoyable affair. In spite
of the rain most of the invited
guests were there and the
ladies paid their young enter
tanners a compliment by wear
ing their prettiest gown.
Masonic Hall was brilliantly
lighted and flower bedecked
for the occasion. The spirit
of hospitality and cordiality
reigned supreme. About nine
O'Clock Miss Smiley, who pre-
sided during the program, in
troduced Miss Lulu Beagle,
who very prettily welcomed the
class to the pleasures, honors
and privileges of the Alumni.
Orlo Edgecomb voiced the
thanks and appreciation of his
classmates in response. Mr..
Beveridge then addressed the
company in a very pleasing
manner. His chosen topic was
"Simplicity." Mr.. Beveridge's
address was simple, clear and
practical, trimming over with
good ideas, and quite merry
withal, and was heartily APP
plauded.
Interspersed through the ex-
ercises the male quartet, COM
prising Messrs. Cook, Davis,
LaDue and O'Connor, under
direction of Mrs. Green, gave a
number of selections and were
compelled to respond to encores
several times. Miss Josie Hair
mon sang a solo very sweetly.
The music was one of the most
pleasing features in a program
Which was very delightful in
every respect.
Refreshments were served,
after which Mr.. B w. Carlisle
served as POSTMASTER, and it is
the verdict of all that Mr.. Car
Isle proved himself master of
the art. Miss Hastings re-
sponded to THE Schoolmis-
tress," Rev. j. MacAllister re-
sponded to "What Could /
Spare" Mrs. Anderson replied
to the toast "The Value Of an
Alumni Association" Mr.. Hos
brook responded to "The Stud
ent" and DR.. Warren gave his
views upon Coming and Going.
About one hundred and sew
enty-five guests were invited.
All found the exercises very
much to their taste and thor
oughly enjoyed the evening.

Flood Hampers Presidents specla

Missouri Valley came mighty
near being host to the strenuous
and much travelled President of
the United States for a short
time this morning but the Pre-
sident was doomed to disap-
pointment, he couldn't come.
When the Presidents timer
airy through Iowa was mapped
out the Illinois Central was Sc
.lected as the line to take him
from Council Bluffs to Denison.
During the continued rains of
the past few weeks the high
embankment at the |. C. over
head crossing at Loveland has
become softened to such an ex-
tent it was considered unsafe
for the passage of trains. The
|. c. Company had a force of
1000 men at work on the grade
all day yesterday in an effort to
get it in shape to allow the Pre-
sidential special scheduled for
5 a. M. to pass over. Last night
about 10 o'clock the |. C. officials
called a conference and decided
the grade would be unsafe for
the passage of the heavy train
and accordingly notified the
North Western to be prepared
to handle the special. All sec
ton men on the NV were
called out, a Waterman placed
at certain intervals along the
line and every switch spiked.
After everything was in readi-
ness for the Especial" a tele-
gram came about 4 o'clock this
morning to the effect the |. G..
management had decided to
risk the passage of the train
over the grade.

One of the saddest deaths
that has ever occurred in Nor
folk was that of the little Son
of Mr. and Mrs. w. f. Thur
Der, which occurred at the home
OF the parents at the junction
last Saturday evening at 8
O'Clock. Mr.. and Mrs. Thurber
were moving into the house re-
Gently vacated by A. H. Viele,
and while the mother was busy
the little fellow in playing
about the premises found a can
of concentrated I've in the coal
shed. Water had gotten into
the can and dissolved the con-
tents, and of this terrible liquid
the child drank. Its screams
attracted the mother and neigh
bors, who applied restoratives
and summoned medical aid. 1t
was all of no avail, the burning
liquid had done it's work too
promptly and too we'll, and only
death relieved it's victims suf-
fering. The funeral services
were held Monday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. w. j. Turn
er, pastor of the First Congre-
gational church. Norfolk,

Says 1t Will Require Many Days
to Fix Roads.

Councilman A. 3. Hosbrook,
a member of the streets and
alley committee, today made a
careful inspection, so far as
possible, to ascertain the condi-
ton of the public roads leading
into this city from various direc-
lions. The road leading across
the Ninth street crossing to
the hills is in the worst condi-
ton of all. There is scarcely
any of the road showing above
water from just South of the
tracks clear to the hills. This
road is scheduled for extensive
Improvements however, almost
$4,000 being raised for improve
ment, work on the same to be
commenced as soon as the
water recedes. The st. John
road is in slightly better condi-
ton. The road clear to St
John is passable and can be put
in good condition with but a
few days work. The road lead
ing across the Willow south of
the Fair Grounds is in very bad
condition and will require many
days hard work before itcan be
travelled to any great extent.
The members of the High
School Alumni wish to extend
their thanks to the Masons and
Odd Fellows for the use of their
hall on the night of the banquet
and also to thank the K. P's for
giving up their regular meeting
night to the banqueters.

The carelessness in not de-
stroying dandelions on the lawns
in town is reaping a harvest of
mischief as the season advances.
The pests are filling into the
blue grass in a way that threat

heroic work is done to root them
out before they go to seed. A
great many who fought against
them last season find themselves
overrun this spring because
their reighbors were careless.

serving twenty-five years Of a life sen,
tence in the Saltwater p%enitentiary.
The parole did not restore his full citi.
zenship, and stipulated he should not
leave the state. When Younger wished
to marry recently Miss Alice Miller,
who had nursed him when he was
down with the wounds received in the
Mortified gun fight. he found he
could not because he was legally dead.
The police found a package OF let
tiers that had passed between Young
er and the woman with whom he was
in love. The woman reciprocated his
affection. and it was reported at one
time that they were to be married.
Her relatives raised objections, and a
further obstacle was the fact that it
vas pointed out that a paroled pris-
oner could not legally contract a mar
riage.
The couple determined to disregard
the objections of relatives and an eff
fort was made to overcome the other
obstacle to their marriage by securing
from the state board of pardons a full
pardon and restoration to citizenship.
This effort failed, and this, it is
thought, had much to do with Young
er's determination to end his life.

Younger were released from the state
