Very serious Illness exists at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. II. Lodor on
South Fourth, where brother of Mrs.
Lodor and son of Mr.. and Mrs. p. o.
Hirsch of this city, who arrived in
Norfolk some time ago from Chicago.
is suffering with the last stages of can.
Ger. II Is feared that, despite the ten
der care Of parents and sister, and in
spite OF every possible effort of med
ical science, the patient can not long
survive the disease and, though hop.
ing against hope. 1t Is feared that life
can not continue many more days.
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ c. Walker have re-
ceived word from Omaha that their
son, Heman Walker, who Is now TAX
ing his last years work in n medical
course, has been elected intern for the
Swedish hospital in Omaha for the
coming year. The compliment was
conferred by the board of directors of
the hospital. DR.. Walker Is n grad
uate of the Norfolk high school, class
of 1900, and also a graduate Of the
state university. This election to
responsible position in the Swedish
hospital in Omaha will be accepted by
his many friends in this city as fit
ting tribute to an industrious and ef-
ficient young man who has worked his
way to the front in his class by per-
sistent effort and unusual ability.
During the past few days I have
visited number of county Schools"
said County Superintendent Frank Per
due in Norfolk yesterday afternoon re.
turning to Madison after an inspection
trip through the northern part of the
county," and I find that disposition
exists among pupils and their parents
to take advantage Of the recent legis-
lation, whereby the resident district
pays the tuition of pupils taking else
where high school work not offered in
the district. Tilden, where non-resi-
dent pupils have been sought for, has
twenty-five such pupils at this time and
under the new law would receive $75
a month as tuition fees paid by differ
ent districts in the county. Norfolk
and other school districts will find a
new source of revenue in this law
Again, there are some seventeen pu-
pills from the Tilden, Battle Creek and
| Newman Grove schools this year who
expect to teach and who must have
some normal training before they can
secure the needed certificates. con-
siderable portion Of these / find would
normal training was offered in the
Norfolk high school as provided by
the new state law, which appropriates
something like $3.50 to every high
school offering such a course. The
state allowance and additional tuition
fees would probably pay for the cost
of this instruction"
| Norfolk is rid of Annie Abbott. And
well rid, too. The management of the
Auditorium, having discovered to its
thorough satisfaction that Annie Alb
bott is fake as mind reader" can
celled the last night of her engage
ment here and ordered the outfit from
the house. The Auditorium manage
ment Is convinced that Annie Abbott
who pretended to answer written and
sealed questions by mind reading, had
framed up questions and answers with
some confederate before the perform
ances and that furthermore she was
made the tool of some designing and
INSCRIPTIONS person or persons who
as a matter of spitework no doubt
posted the so-called mind reader" to
give answers which would slander and
malign highly respectable citizens OF
the community. The woman was a
fraud of bold order and her questions
are in no manner entitled to conf
dence. She is not entitled to the pa
tronage of theatergoers in north Ne
braska nor any other section, which
fact the Norfolk management wishes
to impress upon theater managers
throughout this territory. The Audi
torium management has met untold
difficulties during the latter half Of
the season, during which time the the
ater has been in its present hands
Many low grade attractions had beer
booked by the former management ant
it has been an effort to weed them out
Some of the show managers refused tC
allow contracts to be cancelled. Mos
of the poor quality shows, however
were thinned out and in their places
were substituted new bookings, sucf
as that of Lawrence Evart, Isabel Irv
ing, the Woodward stock company
, etc. AS was announced earlier in the
winter, another year will allow the
new management to protect itsel
against such attractions. For a tim,
