GIVEN UP HOPE.
Gotlleb Niegenfind Expects to be
Hung on the 18th.

''e'6 w '''~ '~''
[From Tuesdays Daily.l
Gottlieb Niegenfind, who is at the
penitentiary under death sentence,
which will be carried out March 13, is
making no effort to gain his freedom,
and is appearantly resigned to his fate.
TIE only hope for the man is to appeal
to the supreme court. He wrote a
letter to his brother Sunday which
follows:
Nebraska State Penitentiary, Lancas-
ter, Neb, March 1, 1903.-Rudolph Me
genfind, Green River, Sweetwater
County, Wyoming.-Dear Brother
Rudolph Olga wrote and said you
wrote two times and haven't received
any answer. 1 wrote one letter TO you
and that one you got and also answered
it, You write that your wife is sick,
but hope she is getting better. l am
all right, feel like king, healthy and
well, plenty to eat and to drink and good
service, and what does one want more
in this world?
hope to hear from you again before
my time is up-the 18th of March.
hope you will remain we'll. I am all
right.
Now Twill close, dear brother and
sister in. law remain well and do not
let my death make you sorrowful.
GoTTLIEB NIEGENFIND.
Therefore, good night to you all.
Ammen.
The letter is in German, and is we'll
written. Sunday Gottlieb took bath
and remarked to the attendant that it
would be his last.
All his actions tend to show that he
has given up all hope.

evening Tonight Miss Edith Morrow
| will entertain those who composed the
theatre party and Mr.. Denny at o party
at her home in The Heights.
Katherine Willard and her company
in "The Power Behind the Throne"
met with great favor on the part of Nor.
folk theatre goers at he Auditorium
last night. With tn 4. 'ard shrek.
ing and bowling Ne6 auiment
outside, the plot of the. 'tak, ter
estingly unfolded and the !. blw
ations were safely passed to =, 'otco
scene where matters were adjusted
isfactorlly to the hero, heroine and thel,
suffering friends and to the discontinue
of their enemies. Miss Wizards work
in view of the fact that she is such q
dainty mite, is surprising. 1t requires
strength and energy that would seem
to be beyond her. and yet she carries
off the honors with grace and dignity.
Her support was excellent, each being
fully competent to the requirements of
the play. Deserving OF espe cial men.
tion were Wright Lorimer as Baron
Won Hoherlohe, Richard Nesmith as
Keller the presidents secretary, and
Maude Durand as the Duchess Won
Waldheim, "the power behind the
throne" The costumiug was clever
and the scenic and lighting effects fine.
The plot of the production is founded
on Sohiller's classic, "Love and In.
trigue." Katherine Willard portray
the character Of Aria, daughter of a
court musician. The scene is laid in an
Austrian province in the latter part of
the eighteenth century, and the story
tells of the intrigues of the rival factions
in the petty court to obtain ascendency
over the reigning prince. ARIA" is
loved by young baron, and a schem-
ing duchess who is infatuated with him,
plots to secure his hand. The weakest
point of the entertainment is its exag-
gerations. People do not even wonder
how such things could be, they are SO
utterly impossible. The good and virtu-
GUS are represented at one extreme and
the villanous plotters at the other. 1t is
too impossible, even for the time repre-
sented nevertheless the interest of an
audience is held throughout, marveling
at the artists ingenuity in weaving the
plot

South Norfolk at the Auditorium last
evening, was nicely decorated with cut
flowers and potted plants, while large
flag was draped above and national
colors below. The entrance was draped
with portiere and the effect with the
charming young ladies in handsome

pleasing. The entertainment was
greatly enjoyed by the party.
A large party of South Norfolk people
occupied the southeast corner of the par
