[ Special to Tun Hi'.K.-Tho ] Mubraska exhibition train has reached the eastern terminus of its trip , and is on the way homeward. Should no addi tional stops bo made on the return from Pennsylvania to Nebraska the expedition would still bo u .success , In the fullest sense of the word. It Is safe to sav that no under taking of a similar character has over at tracted anything like the attention bo- Ktowcd upon the Nebraska product train. Ne braska Is the ono word In the mouth of the great majority of the men , woman und chil dren of the clues and towns where the train lins stopped. So gunulno is the Interest taken in the display that several of the visitors at the city of Salem took occasion to complain because of the fact that the train icachcd that cil ) ' a llttlo later than the schedule time , whllo they had been at the oooot promptly nt tno published hour of arrival to see the ex hibit. Two or Unco members of the party have devoted their energies to getting expressions of opinion from the prominent persons who visit the train concerning the exhibit and Its probnblo effect. These endorsements of the ncbomo and ouloglos of Nebraska's products nnd wealth would nmko a volume of "mighty intorestln1 roadin' . " It Is prob idly b.it Just to accord the citi zens of Indliina and Ohio the usual amount of stnto prldo , but not withstanding this , Nebraska's buporiorlty as nn agricultural and horticultural state isuiihcsltailngl.acknowl edged. The apples of Michigan have hereto fore bcou recognized In these maruuts as the highest standard of excellence , and for any Btuto to aspire to excel or oven to rival Michigan lu apples has been looked upon as the height uf lolly. TIIK HII : : correspondent has taken pains to cnll the attention of the fruit dealers of the larger cities visited to Nebraska's apples , und to say that they hnvo boon surprised would bo to give a weak expression to a strong fact. I is vory.evident that custom markets for many of Nebraska' * ! staple products will bo opened ns one of the many results of this trip.Ono Ono cannot speak too strongly of the hearty nnd friendly reception gUon the mem bers of the expedition by the representative bushiest men of the several states visited. The exhibit has received careful attention and warm praUo from them , but they have not contented themselves with that ; they have ovorywburo inndo it a special point to BOO that tno Nobrasknns were bospltablv treated and accorded all the privileges which are so welcome to visiting strangers. At the cities of Hueyrus , Linm , Upper Sandtuky and Massilloii this spirit was especially manifest , One of the most unexpected Incidents of the trip was the dismissal of schools at Monrooylllo und Uoehostor , that the pupils and teachers might take a practical lesson In geography. At both places thu teachers had instructed their scholars to provide themselves wllh note books and pencils , that they might bo prepared to recite a lesson upon the resources ot Nebraska , and the youngster * entered into tha work willingly. Some of the older heads on the delegates' shoulders were puzzled to unswor the thou sand ono questions of the boys and girls. The banquet to the press of Alliance wai ono of thu most enjoyable and enjoyed inci dents of tha ontlro trip. Tbo newspapers of that city had exerted themselves to ninko thu stay there October " 7 successful , nnd on the return westward the representatives of the two papers were ivitod to shuro the faro of the Nebraska Huslness Men's associa tion nt the Hnsso : ! hotel. Messrs. Brush of tbo Itovlow and Phelps of tbo Loader wore present , with tnombors of tbolr ataffit , nnd n most onjoynblo time was spent , The two gentlemen spoke briefly nnd pointedly of the nappy relations existing between the stntos of the western nnd eastern prairies , nnd of the greater possibilities still open for social and commercial intercourse. Thoufth thoroughly tired out with their labors the dologatw nro lu the best of spirits and wholly contented with the null Us of the Nut Goodwin at HoydM. After nn absence of thrco years Mr. Nat C. Goodwin Is filling nu engagement nt Hoyd's theater , appearing In a French adapt ation of n play , which ho felicitously calls "Tho Nominee , " possibly because the trend of the stage is In thu direction of political Bubjcct.s , duo no doubt to the Intense tiitoicst people aio taking in political problems. It tins \varinud-\ip \\hlchallsuchplays have , and ills os wlldlv funuv , us thoroughly ridiculous and in u measure ns risque us all such Ftench farces cun be. Yut Mr. Goodwin luu a pnrt In Jack Medford that Ills him as snugly ns n Joraoy linds thu best lines on n danaeuso , and bo dashes through tno piny with a sparkle that is akin to charnp.igr.o. There are lines in tno olay that should bo cut for the sake of propriety , which Is the mildest word that cun bo used. There nro lines which nro decidedly suggestive nnd border upon the talk you would expect to hear in u di.nco hall , but they go. In fact they convulse the audience when they are uttered , which accounts for their retention. Still Mr. Uoodwm Is too clover a comedian to rest his reputation upon ttio ultra sugges- livenebS which certain situations incite. Mr. Goodwin is a born humorist. Ho achieves his triumphs not fiom hard worlc , art or study , but because ho rumu into the world with n merry heart nnd no has kept up bis laughter creating nature over hlnco. His .spontaneity on the stage is roficshlng. Ho makes his points easily nnd gracefully with no attempted elaboration until you fcol that n master Is touching thu strings. The company supporting the star is in the main very satisfactory , although two or three of the characters might , with entire propriety , bo strengthened. As the JncKbonlan mother-in-law , who dates her democracy back to the crusades , Mrs. .fcan Clara Walters , is Irresistublo. Indeed she is so excellent that the star and she quito carry the burden of Miu play. And It must have done her ho , ut good to acknowl edge the applause whicu cumo upon her appearance , for joars ago she was n pnrt of Omaha's theatrical life. having been n member of Uori's stocic companv In tno palmy days of the old Academy of Music. And the stars she supported in the e days , what delightful rending it would make ! Hut that is another story. Miss Mabel Amber , the lendlne lady , Is decidedly - cidodly pretty but her accent is at times very bad. Thu llttlo she hud to do , however , was well dono. Miss Lombard as a liosa Har- clny was captivating. Mr. William fieach ns Mcdford's private secretary. 13r. Bunyon , was a pleasitiK foil to the star , nltnough In the opening scones of the plav ho lacked force and linlsh , duo no doubt to his comparative newness in the part. Mr. Theodore Habcock made a handsome - some and suave man of the world , who after countless oscapodes is at lust unmoihod by the fair Hosn. t There was a curtain raiser by Mr. William Vardloy. also taken from the French , on- titleu "Wit nnd Nature. " built upon similar lines to "Nnnco Oldlleld , " and designed to give Miss Amber an opportunity to display nor power as a comedicuno and melo dramatic actress. < corjjo C. t-taley nt the Fnrnnin. Long before the curtain rose at the Far- nam Stioet theater last night the "standing room only" sign had to bo hung out. Such was the welcome Omnliu gave to George C. Stnloy and his thrilling play , "A Koyal Pass. " All the interest of course centered around Mr. Staloy , who is ono of the cleverest of the Gorman dialect comed ians now on the stugo. Ills work showed the result of hard study and a close attention to details. The support was coed nnd the audience lavished their appliusc upon Louise , the little child of the star. In his scenes and songs with his babv Mr. Staloy is vcrv reminiscent of Fritz Einmot. While the whole play was interesting the great attraction was the locomotlvu race in the third act. The two engines looked Jorall the world Hlfo veritable "steeds of steam" nnd whirled across the stage atasuiprls- lugly high r.ito of speed. When the curtain went down on the sccno it Boomed ns if the applnuso would never ccaso. "A Hoyul Pass" toils n story of Gorman love for homo and tyranny of potty Kussian oflicinls. .I.V. % O VXUVMISA J.f. The appearance of Senator William H. Crane at Hoyd's Now theater on Wednesday and Thursday of this weolc , is an interesting event in society and theatrical c'rcles. The success of "Tho Senator" has been great , so great that in the two yoara tnat the play has been in Mr. Crane's possession ho has'only been able to present it in four or live cities outside of Now York , nearly the \vholo time wns given to the Stnr theater in that city , nnd it is snfo to sny that no drama or comedy has played to such enormous receipts in many years. "Tho Senator" is nn American play , In story , thomoand character , und deals with un historical incident of the war of 1812. The outIro action of the play tnkai place in Washington and ono of the acts depicts the noise , bustle nud confusion in a committee room of the United States senate on the closing night of its session. Mr. Crane will present hib great play here with the same admirable company that helped to the enor mous success ho achieved in Now York city nnd elsewhere. The sale of sonts will open Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock. Mr. Frank Young , representing the firco comedy success "Tho Hustler , " Is in the city. His attraction will bo at Doyd's Now theater on Sunday , Monday and Tuesday next. This ovculntr nt Boyd's now theater Mr. Nat U. Goodwin , the well-known comedian , will present for the llrst time in Omaha his great couifcdy , "A Gold Mine. " Jr\tl'OltlTJ : HlTll Making War on the Chicago , tent Qniiiey. durum , 111. , Nov. 1.-Tho policy adopted by the Chicago A : Grand Trunk is making tliat road a favoritu with shippers horo. Having abolished switching and curtago charges , It has uow entered into nn agree ment with some of the western roads , whereby - by the industries located on tholinosof those roads within the city limits are to got the bcnollt of the Chicago rates on all freight shipped eastward. Heretofore these indus tries tiavo been compelled to pay nn extra rate of as hlsh as $5 per cur for moving their freight to the Junction of the eastern roads. The arrangements made by the Grand Trunk with its western connection does awny with this extra charge by allowing the western lines a parceiilngo , the Grand Trunk gutting Its proportion ns of a through rate , the whole being "ijual to the regular into from Chicago to point of destination. This places the var ious factories nnd shippers of the city on an uqunl basis , whether located near the eastern road nr not. It Is generally admitted that the Grand Trunk has had sulllclout provoca tion for Its Innovation , and the movement will nn doubt bo supported by shippers , vho now have the privilege of the Chicago rate from their wuiobouso doors. Should they become greedy , however , ana uttumnt to piny one road against another , in order to got In still greater advantages , the result will doubtless bo n speedy reconciliation of all lines aud a falling hack to old methods. The Grand Trunk has not withdrawn from the Central Tronic association , nor , it U stated , does It Intend to at present , though on this question It tins declared Its Independence. The LttKO Shore ticket agents , who were discharged for accepting commissions , have declared war on the Chicago , Burlington & Qulnoy road.

On the whole the results of today are considered satisfactory us to the ability of producing American steel armor , the object ot the armor being to keep out projectiles.

Do vou know why the Chilians bate the Americans ? It is not the result of the Itata incident. It is not duo to the rrofler of this government to bring about peace be tween Chili and Peru under the Garlleld ad ministration. These incidents merely aggra vated the feeling. It dates far back of that. It goes back to the time of the discovery of gold in California 'J'hnro was a great demand mand for provisions in San Francisco nt that time. California was not then the great wheat pi educing state which It is todav , and Hour was Imported from Chili in largo quantities. This of course , brought San Francisco and Valparaiso into comparatively close communication and sev eral thousand Chilians went to the newly discovered gold Holds. It was just after the war with Mexico and the accession of that Immense stretch of country which made qulto a number of out- Spanish speaking people American citi/ens. rtioro was something of n bitter fooling at tno result of war. The native Californians looked upon the pioneers ns In truders nnd the emigrants dc- snisod them as greasers. Quito a number of the native Californinns became outlaws , like .lonqum Murietta , nnd many murders and tobborios wf-io committed. Mexicans nnd natlvo Califo'rniiins felt thu retaliation of the Americans. To them all Spanish speaking - ing puoplovoro alike , so Chilian miner.- , buf fered along with the Mexicans. Quite n number of Chilian ) , were murdered and robbed by American miners and the nice hos tility grow so intense that many of the Chil ian miners returned to their own land. They took back with thorn thu story of their inhoj- pitnblo.icception and the nation has smarted unuor what It deemed the wrongs to its sub jects ever since. The average Chilian hates the American bitterly , and this is otic touson for it.1 _ 1'I.HXTV OF Itll.K in Paris Indulge In 11 Ijittlc IlOIINt lljt , PAUIS , Nov. 1. The animosity Jell by the Chilian residents here agidnst the United Stutcs is reflected in an intorucw with a prominent member of the Chilian community in Paris , who attributes the enmity of the American government to the Chilian refusal to enter the customs union proposed by Mr. Bluluc. Said this Chilian : "Several Chilian statesmen oxchnneed views with Mr. ISlalno , assuring him that as soon as there was visible any advantage that the United States could urnnt to Chili in re turn for the hiirrcndurof her European trade , the proposed customs union would havosomo chance of acceptance. Unahlo to do this the Washington government would not forgive the Chilian roslstimcu to their pot schema tea a /Jllvuroln.

It lequlred all tuo authority of the Paris agents of tbo Chilian congress , numerous teloerams having been sent bv them to the commander of the Eimcruldu , to prevent the Esmornlda from lighting the United State * crusler Clinrloiton. "A further proof of their hostility Is found [ n the action of the United States admiral in watching the Insurgents at ( t > uintcio unit ru- jiortlnir their movements hack to Dutmnceda.

Of course a great crowd was Instunilv on the sccno nnd with nwo-strlclten curiosity watched the developments. A policeman was detailed to keen Iho crowd und pass- eiiKOp at n .snfo distance whllo the lleutou- nut proceeded with all baste to notify the electric lljilit people. Meanwhile n cab came driving rapidlv along. The policemen shouted vigorously , ' Halt , halt , " nud the crowd took up tha warning cry lu chorus , but all to no pnrpo-o. As If driven by fate tlio vehicle rusUod on mid Hunt over the deadly wire. Instantly thd horao reeled and plunged headlong to the ground , Its llo i siz/ling. The c.lb was not overturned und the di Ivor sprang out and rushed to the animal's aid , evidently having no idea ot what was wrong. In spitu of warning yells from the crowd ho grabbed the trailing "string" that had upso ! hU horso. At the instant the wire swung across his forehead , bit throuch ttio skull almost to the oars , and there remained , although the unlortuimto victim fell forward over the horse. And now n frightful scene , never to bo for gotten by the spectators , was witnessed. The electric lluid literally lllled the man's head nnd In a moment binin nnd eyes had been completely incinerated. Then tlio flesh and skin smoked and si/.zleil until they also were reduced almost to ashes. All this time the sparks played about the head in an awful shower , the eyds literally glowing with and radiating the consum ing lire. It was several minutes before - fore the electric cuirent could bo turned oil ana when it WHS the body was found to bo partially burned to ashes , the head completely so. The sight was ono of tlio moat repulsive phases of dojth the most morbid mind could Ucstro to behold. Thoio u ere at the tlmo between l.oOO and 2,000 volts going over the wires , nnd as the weight of the horse on the telephone wire had completely cut through the insulation , the man of course received the full hln < st. nf the current at the llrst contact.
