from head to feet.
Albert Richter, the 14-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Richter, living
near Hartford, while operating a disc
harrow was thrown from the machine,
which collided with one of his legs,
breaking both bones.
Elijah Parker, the young son of Mr.
and Mrs. Elijah Parker, who reside
near Hazel, while unhitching his team
in the field had an experience which
nearly cost him his life. All that
stood between him and eternity was
the fortunate breaking of a leather
strap. He became entangled in one
of the lines and the sudden whirlng
of the horses caused the line to be-
come wound around the lower part
of one of his legs. The horses at this
juncture became frightened and ran
away, dragging the boy some dis
lance, when he was released by the
line breaking under the strain. Had
the line not broken he would have
been dragged to death.

Wisner Neb., May 24.-Special to
The News: To Rev. L. V. Slocum
and w. E. Kelso is due the credit of
soliciting S1620 toward remodeling
the Methodist church and parsonage
of this city and, as but six and half
hours were required for the work, the
gentlemen are happy over their sue
cess. The people of Wisner are re-
spending generously to this call and,
since the work of soliciting is not yet

church and a comfortable parsonage
is unusually good. This need has
been felt for some time. and now that
the work has begun, the desired
changes are practically assured.

AFTER LlTTELL'S PLACE.
Death of Wayne County Superinten.
dent Accuses Officeseekers.

Waye, Neb., May 21.-The county
commissioners will meet on June L,
at which time it is expected that they
will appoint county superintendent
to succeed A. E. Littell, deceased, and
a lively contest is developing for the
place. Whoever may be appointed to
fill the vacancy at this time will have
an advantage over others in this falls
election. Commissioner Farran is in
clined to the belief that the vacancy
should be given to some one who will
agree not to be a candidate in No
vember, thus giving all an equal show
with the people at election time. 1t
has also been suggested that Mrs. Lit
tell be allowed to fill out her husbands

inently mentioned are Professor
Wright and Mrs. Phillips of Wayne,
Ben Robinson and Pennie Venneberg
of Carroll, and Professor Oline of
Sholes. Winside, which has given the
county its last three superintendent,
appears to have no candidate at this
time.

Theatrical Season Ends.

The theatrical season of 190S-O9
forum with the presentation by the
Burwood Stock company of Omaha,
of The Girl From Out Yonder." The
company was greeted by crowded
house and the audience was well
pleased with the play and players.
The company, which had made the
acquaintance of the Norfolk theater-
going public previously during the sea
son, is capable and we'll balanced, the
play was an interesting little love
story with human interest and a bit
of pathos mixed in, and the special
scenery brought for the production
was all that could be desired
Miss Leone capably filled her role
and Mr.. Ingraham played the role of
the pitiful ODD man with consistency.
Mr.. Gibson, the company's comedian,
was intensely clever as Ben Cook, the
typical fisherman.
The theatrical season just closing
has not been highly successful in a
financial way in any portion of the
United States, due to the money panic

fairly begun. This has made it eX-
tremely difficult to secure good at

point of quality. Among them was
Klein's THE Lion and the Mouse.

the very best attraction that e 'er
came to Norfolk.
Promise for next year Is much
brighter than the past year, the re.
vival of business prosperity having
already made it apparent that there
will be more good shows on the road
The Norfolk theater-going public
has given loyal support to the Audi
forum on those attractions which
could be secured for the year just
closed, and the management wishes to
cordially thank one and all for the
liberal patronage and good words eX-
tended. The effort of the Auditorium
management is to constantly secure
better attractions and this can be
done, of course, only through unfVer-
sal cooperation on the part of Nor
folk people But Norfolk has already
demonstrated pretty well that it will
support high grade attractions and
with the theater-goers and the Audi
forum working together in support.
