tainers Last Niuht.

Norfolk teachers last evening gave
n most delightful reception to Super.
intendent O'Connor, who is about to
leave for Panama, and Superintendent

teachers of Norfolk, with whom he
has been associated for nine years.
She expressed regret of the teaching

ture, and spoke of the fathfulness
with which he has filled his office

TEEN from the teachers, a very hand
some suit case, bearing a silver plate
upon which was engraved the name
of the recipient together with his ad-
dress as Norfolk, Neb.," and the date,
1905. Mr.. O'Connor ably responded,
thanking the teachers for their good
wishes and their beautiful gift.
Mr. Kennedy, one of the high school
teachers. then extended a welcome to
Superintendent Bodwell, expressing
the cordiality with which the former
Omaha educator will be received here.

membered by the Norfolk teachers
and by the two superintendents.

Fabio Romani.

The managers of Fabio Romani, the
dramatic version of Marie Corelli's
Vendetta, have spared neither time
nor money to make the present pro-
duction of this sterling success a not
able one from every point OF view.
The scenic environment is the most
elaborate that has ever been employed
in the production Of this favorite play,
and the acting contingent is the best
that could be secured, containing as
it does some of the foremost artists
on the American stage. That 1t has
been possible to secure such an i'm
portant array of actors has been made
possible only on account of the season
of the year, and the theatergoers of
the country should avail themselves
of the opportunity to enjoy the pres
entation of Fabio Romani by this
great galaxy of artists of undisputed
worth and reputation. That every
body who has had the good fortune to
witness this absorbing and highly IN
teresting play will do so goes without
saying and those who have not yet
had the chance to enjoy the ineffable
charm of Fabio Romani should not
let this opportunity pass to see one of
the greatest and most intensely inter.
esting plays ever shown. Fabio Ro-
mani will be seen at the Auditorium
on Thursday evening, November 80.

BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO HURRY
Mr.. o'Connor Will Leave Norfolk and

The Lincoln Star Is authority for the
statement that Nebraska educators
are preparing for a farewell reception
to Professor D. G. O'Connor of Nor
folk, the newly appointed superinten-
dent of education in Panama. The
Star says that the reception will be
held in either Lincoln or Norfolk. Mr..
proposed reception and has received
no information aside from this source
whatever. One thing is certain and
that is that if the educators of the
state of Nebraska want to tender a
farewell reception to the departing
Norfolk educator, they will have to
hurry, for Mr.. O'Connor will leave this
city and state on the coming Sunday
or Monday, dependent upon instruc-
tions which are expected today or to-
morrow.
Tom Cooke, formerly of Nebraska
but now collector of the customs in
Panama, has had charge of what little
has been done in an educational way

NORTHWEST FROM SCHUYLER
II Is Also Rumored That the New Line
OF the Great Northern viii Have
Immense Shops at Nickerson and
That This Means Maple Creek Line.

II Is persistently rumored that the
Burlington railroad will extend It's
line from Schuyler toward the north
west, pointing directly to Norfolk. II
is further rumored that the now line
Of the Great Northern, virtually the
Burlington, will have immense shops
at Nickt. son, as huge yards are being
built there. II Is thought this Is for
the purpose of running n branch out
from Nickerson up Maple Creek,
This, too, would be headed toward Nor.
folk and II Is thought that the Bur
lington might be induced to come this
way The state Journal says:
A special committee named recently
by the Lincoln Commercial club called
on General Agent McGinnIs of the
Northwestern railroad yesterday and
requested him to arrange n meeting
for them with the officers of the Ne.
braska & Wyoming division of the
Northwestern. General Agent McGin.
mis- will take the matter up with Man
ager Bidwell, and will arrange for
these gentlemen representing the busi-
ness interests of Lincoln to meet Off
GERS of the road. 1t Is understood that
these gentlemen will urge upon Man
ager Bidwell that the Northwestern
extend its line from Lincoln to Beaver
Crossing, or some point In that vicin-
ity on the line to Superior.
For a number of years the North
western has owned right of way from
its yards in this city out past West
Lincoln. 1t would not be difficult
matter for this road to get out of the
city. BY building to some point west
of here on the Superior line the com
pany would directly connect a rich
territory in southern Nebraska with
the capital city and make for it n good
business, both in the local passenger
and freight line. 1t is understood that
the road contemplated building there
at one time, but that a territorial
agreement was made with the Bur
lington which prevented further exten-
sion in the South Platte country.
Now that the Burlington has invad-
ed Northwestern territory and that it
contemplates still further line point
ing northwestward from Schuyler 1t
is believed that the Northwestern will
not feel bound by this old agreement,
and that it may be induced to build.

These are the plans 80 far under con-

open secret that they are under pre-
paration and will be begun in a short
TIME. perhaps as soon as weather condi-
tions will permit in the spring. When
they are finished and modern service
is instituted. then Mr.. Hartman will be

that is b ing forced upon him by the
