In Love With a Princess.

In his own right Prince Wilhelm is
quite an interesting young fellow. He
IS In love, and with a very pretty prin-
cess. The further fact that this prin-
cess, whose title is grand duchess and
whose name is Maria Pavlovna, is a
1rst, cousin Of the car Of Russia adds
largely. to the interest of the outside
world in this romance. Only two
months ago Prince Wilhelm surprised
his fellow Swedes and everybody else
by announcing his betrothal to the fair
Young Grand Duchess Maria. It seems
that the young prince accompanied his
mother on q visit to the latters rela-
tives at Karlsruhe and took occasion
to continue along to Moscow and st.
Petersburg. On this trip he met the
beautiful seventeen-year-old daughter
of the Grand Duke Paul, and the sailor
prince saw a light that never was on

CIRCUS DAY IN NORFOLK
IMMENSE THRoNG OF PEOPLE
FROM EVERYWHERE.
CIRCUS PARADE WAS MISSED

The Big Barnum G. Bailey Circus
Rolled Into Norfolk From Omaha
Early Tuesday Morning and Was
Greeted by Great Crowd.
The magic of the name Of Barnum
still the trademark of supremacy in
the circus world, was amply attested
in Norfolk Tuesday.
1t was a perfect circus day, a Sep
TENDER day built to the order of north
Nebraska for the greatest show on
earth. The crisp atmosphere and the
cloudless sky called to north Nebraska
to take day off and go to the circus
Tuesday was not alone circus day
in Norfolk, it was circus day as well
in north Nebraska. Visitors came tc
the city on the evening trains and from
the west on the morning passenger
from Chadron. A circus day crowd
filled Norfolk avenue long before the
noon trains poured their crowds into
the city.
The first section of the Barnum &
Bailey big show arrived In Norfolh
early in the morning but 1t approached
the noon hour before other sections
bringing the rest of the giant circus
began to arrive.
Tents from the first section of the
circus soon converted the Union Pa
citic grounds into a gigantic city o.
tents. Nearly all the canvas of the
big show outside of the main ten
came in on the first section, loaded
out Of Omaha while the evening per
Torrance was still in progress. Cool
tents, horse tents, the big animal tents
soon crowded the big circus grounds
clear evidence that the Olney grounds
could never have held the greatest
show on earth.
Save for little more system Bar
mum g. Bailey tents go up like Other
show tents. And the greatest show or
earth was willing to press the Norfolk
contingent of small boys into service
in the absence of many of its regular
crew on the delayed sections.
The amputation of the old time pa
rade was a noticeable feature of cir
Gus day. 1t was the first paradeless
circus that has ever visited Norfolk
The absence of the parade lent greater
interest to the preliminary operations
of the big show. Another effect wa'
seen in people from the farm delaying
their circus day past the noon hour.

EFFECT OF LYNCHING.
Wayne County Man Tried to Cut His
Throat-Brouuht to HOSPITAL,

Wayne Herald: One evil of mob
violence is shown in the reflex on
weak minds. A man under a delusion
that the Bancroft lynchers had discov-
cred they had taken the wrong culprit
as the Coppel murderer and that they
were after him as the real criminal is
now in the Wayne county jail.
Sheriff Mears received a midnight
call from Leslie precinct Monday night
with instructions to bring a doctor and
hurry, for a man had cut his throat
and was liable to bleed to death. The
call came from the Henderson home,
which is one of the Sullivan farms
near the old Slaughter place.
In company with DR.. Williams the
sheriff arrived at Henderson's about
o'clock and found several men guard
ing an unfortunate who had attempted
to cut his throat with big butcher
knife and had succeeded in infiicting
a cash about a half inch deep and two
inches long in the fleshy part of the
neck, from which he had bled profuse-
ly. After the wound was sewed up the
fellow was brought to town in the
carriage.
1t appears that the man had fled
from a gang of railroad laborers while
working near Fender, because he
thought they were suspicioning him
as the Copple murderer. He said he
escaped from their hands several days
before and had hid in the weeds and
brush and slept in haystacks, and that
he was glad he had got away.
He walked unannounced into the
Henderson home, where several wo
men were preparing supper for the
threshers at that place. His actions
were such that it was evident he was
demented. But when he picked up q
knife from the kitchen table and
slashed his neck, the men were called
for and he was overpowered and guard
ed until the arrival of the sheriff.
He gave his name as Joen Coleman
and is apparently about thirty-five
years of age. The commissioners OF
insanity will have him sent to the Nor
| folk asylum this week

when they cross in the daytime they
make their horses go on the dead

wait until they get big crowd, and
then all go with a whoop across the
fatal bridge. Last week party start

reservation. and as 1t was getting late
they urged their horses to utmost
speed so as to get across the bridge
before shutdown, as that Is the time
they claim the spirit of Higgins takes
its station there, in a sitting position
AS they neared the bridge their speed
became greater, and all began whoop
ing yelling to help drown out their
fear.
A smaller party heard the din and
noise and thought the spirit had at

and returned to Bancroft to await the
rising sun before they would attempt

And now they will not go across the
bridge even In daylight, but go uI

No comparisons can be made with
last year because the high school fire
wiped out all school records back of
last spring. The new system of rec
ords will be filed in fire proof safe
so that no future fire can repeat the
damage in this direction.
Norfolk schools are in healthy con-
dition and with the completion of the
new high school building in January
and the resulting Encouragement of
classes among the other buildings an
attendance boom Is slated to set in.
The high school attendance will take
rapid strides upward at that time.
There is one new feature of school
attendance this year resulting from a
Legislative enactment last winter. In
cities of Norfolk's size all children un,
der sixteen must attend school during
the entire school year. There are GER
tain exceptions made between the ages
Of fourteen and sixteen but the new
law is stringent on insisting on a full
years attendance.
