Ills Incidents are never forced ; they follow each other naturally , and. tlio manner lit which catastrophes are averted nt every stage Is marvelous In Its Ingenuity Sardcm Is tlio world's greatest dinmatlst and ' Diplo macy" his very Breateit success. AVhen " " tn the "Dora" was done In London fall of 1877 , as "Diplomacy" was known on the other sldr , It had In the cast John Clay- i ton , vvlio plaved Henry Hcauclerc , .Mr. Ken-1 dal.

Shannon , liaron Stein ( the came s thai ot last night ] ; Maude Granger was Dora , Jlme. I'onlsl the marquise and Hose Coghlan as Countess Zlcka. In the London cast the men and women were striving fur Individual preferment and quite Ignored the unities ot the performance , In the original Now York cast there were names to con Jure wltli , some of whom have long since passed out Into the unknown For 5 ears the play wns allowed to real quietly on tin- shelf , until two years ago Hose Coghlan decided upon a magnificent revival of the dr.una , and the result has been beyond her most sanguine expectations. It Is not sayIng - Ing too much. In the * opinion ot the -writer , that the cast ot last ulglit was In every re spect the equal of the original New Yorli production , and In some respects much supe rior to the London cast , at least this was the Judgment of Clement Scott ol the London Telegraph , who Englished It and tvho aav , Mini Coghlan In the part of the countess In Chicago last iear. So much for a bit of history connected with tbls greatest drama of these- closing century tlajs. Mlas Coghlan loves plays of the adventuress type , they are abhorrent to most women of tha singe who would much prefer the IViulines , the Juliets , the Constances , the Nnatrlccs but with Miss CogMan all senti ment must yield place to the Inexorable demands ot the characters , whether It bo , Lidy Day Spanker , Peg "Wellington , or count- ' IP.TS others which this artiste has Illumined by her great gifts Miss Coghlan , even < n the searchlight of these times , Is a great , n very great , actress , In the full meaning of tlut word. The marvelous surety of her efforts and the amazing naturalness of her methods nro Intensely attractive to the man or woman who will sit under her spell. She Icals iu > rude blows , but cuts iloun to the otnotlon she > wishes to create , and never , so far as the writer can perceive , allows her weapon to control her. Dealing with all Hie hysteria of passion , she directs and m.an- jges them without ever becoming their vic tim ler | Zlcka Is the height of naturalIsm - Ism : there Is no straining after effects , no tearing1 of a passion to tatters , but a calm , steadfast picture of a woman borne relent lessly forward by a tide which Is Impossible - siblo of breasting. Her declamation U per fection. She passes over the gamut of her emotions and touches every blacl < as every white key. She moves llko a majestic stream that widens Into a river before you know It , and presently Is mingling with the ocean Itself. This Is Rote Coghlan as the Countess Zlcka In "Diplomacy. " Supporting her nre men and women who have won envlablo reputations upon the stage , .mil the performance In Its entirely last night lias not been equalled In Omaha , which Is saying much , but which ts thoroughly de served. Mr. Do Hcllevlllo Is easily the best leading man In America and bis Henry Is a magnifi cent piece of dramatic work , worthy of the man In every sense. Ills gentlemanly hearing , his diplomatic nay ot doing things , ( .hem to fine- advantage In the role which lie plays as If he loved It with alt the Inten sity of his nature In his scene with Zlcka , when ho discovers who it was that robbed Ihe despatch box of his brother Julian , through the perfume like that ol dead bouquets , he rose , to heights which It Is a pleisure to glvo him credit for. Mr. Sullivan art Julian is manly , devoted , a soldier with a he.irt In- the right place , and his assumption of the character was delicate ami verj nrtlftlc It Is the best thing which this young actor , who has been steadily rising ; In the profession , has ever done. The Baron Stein was a careful piece ot character work , probably a little * bit heavy In spots , but still very rlever , which may also be said of Mr. Cecil M. York's Count Orloff , and the scene between Henry , Julian and the Count , In third act , was a genuine triumph of fine act ing , such acting1 as ono used to sec In olden clay * , but which , more's the pity , Is rapidly disappearing In the demand for something to amuse It Is only Miss Coghlan who would hazard the appearance of Miss Maxlno Elliott , Ilattlo Hussell and Blanche Burton upon the flame stage with her , for two more beautiful women than Miss Elliott and Mlsa Uurton have not been seen on the local stage- for years , If ever , and both are players of pro- noimred excellence , Miss Ellllott particularly winning golden opinions for her sweet , womanly Dora , a girl who Is sought after by m.iny men who Is made love to by many but who , even In the hothouse atmosphere In which she moves , lives a virtuous , life. There Is an education In witnessing plays . like that of last night , a matter for sincere ' congratulation to have seen so many capable people in Sardou's great masterpiece. Do you have trouble with your baking * You have yourself totblame. Use Dr. Price's linking Powder and trials will disappear. It acts perfectly. 1.1 11 unt ; Cliiuig'rt llnnqaot.

DOUBLE HANGING AT ST.PAUL Young Desperadoes Who Robbed and Mur dered Pay the Extreme Penalty , MOMENTARY HITCH ON THE GALLOWS Otto Wonlgkoll Seen to full tint III * Part tier , Omrlcs Jlrmlflcli , l.clt Swinging for .Hovcntl Socomln 11m lixptMiu- tlnn Tholr Crime , ST. PAUL. Oct. ! > . At exactly six minutes | past 5 o'clork this morning the drop fell and Charles HrmUch and Otto Montgkelt had paid the penalty of their crime. These tv\o young desperadoes , wearing masks , at about 9 o'clock on the evening of May 2 , entered the saloon ot L. It. Kohlman , at the corner of Wabash street nnd College avenue , commanded everybody In the room to throw up Ills hands , and demanded the cash at the bar. They then shot down nnd killed Llndholf , the bartender. Though Ermlsch uaa but 19 and Wonlgkelt less than 21 , It was shown to the court and public that. from childhood they had been criminals. When under death sentence Krmlsoh secured n revolver through his mother and attempted to carry out a plot for escape laid between himself and Wonlgkelt through the passing ot notes. He shot and painfully nounded his death \satcli and escaped part ay through the Jail before being recaptured Preceded by Sheriff Chapel , Otto AVonlgkelt was the first to ivulk dovui the three or four uteps Reading from the jail to the enclosure crccte'd for the execution. Ho was closely followed by nrmlsch. There was nothing of the bravado In their eyes , jet their glances swept around the small room unlllnchlnRly and seemed to rest for an Instant upon every' body there. The black caps were on their heads , but bad not yet been drawn down over their eyes. Slowly and calmly they walked , eacli to the trap door which was presently to fall nnd usher them Into the unknown world They stepped on the doors without faltering , throwing1 one brl < f glance at the beam above their heads , from which was depending the rope so soon to cnclrclo their necks AH soon aa they had taken their places the deputies fastened the ankles of cadi securely , then adjusted Ihe nooses quickly , drew down the black cap over the ejes of the con demned men , stepped back and the signal was given. There were about two seconds of deep suspense. Then the door beneath \Vonlgkelt swung open , the body shot downward and out of sight. There wus an exclamation of excitement when It wns seen that Ermlsch had not dropped also There was a short and excited commotion and n quick movement among1 the Jail officers. Quicker than It takesto tell It Captain Hcan , ex-shcrlff of the county realized uliat had occurred and without a moment's delny swung himself down to the floor beneath , sprang to the pulley by which the trap supporting Krmlsch was opened gave It one strong Jerk and Wonlgkelt's partner In guilt also disappeared from view. The delay was easily accounted for. The weight of the spectators- the floor had de pressed the floor sufllclently to cause the trap door to hind so that the weight upon the end of the rope beneath was not enough to draw the pin that should let the door drop. Captain Bean's quick wit grasped the situation and he was prompt to act. The delay had not been more than fire or six seconds , but who shall know how long It seemed to Brmltch , standing there with the knowledge that there was a hitch and that his partner was already swinging1 below him. Hut If Erin I sch had any realization of the Incident ha gave not the slightest mani festation of It. In both cases consciousness had ceased In stantly. There was one short , quick , almost imperceptible shrug of the shoulders and upper part ot the body nnd the wretched man liuntt there without further motion. Dr. O'Brien , tlio official doctor for the occasion , stated that the fall was so great that death came almost Instantly from strangulation and without suffering to the men. In eleven minutes from the time ho fell Wonlgjcelt was pronounced dead and two minutes later life had departed from the body of Ermlsch. The bodies were taken down , placed In cofllns and removed for burial The crowd that hung about the Jail last night was still there today , its morbid curiosity about the first hanging lu this county for thirty-three scars seeming to be In no way depreasetl by the consummation of the legal tragedy.

James Dooley stepped on the scaffold in the cast corridor of the penitentiary cell room at 12:14 today He was firm and composed and was accompanied by Sheriff Kldrldge of Adams county , Sheriff Trump and Deputy McCormlck of Lee county , and the deputy warden. Sheriff Kldrldgo took him by the hand and asked him If he had anything to say. He replied , "I have , " and addressed those present , saying"You have violated the law. The law allows but seventeen persons to witness an exe cution , but there are twenty-three present now and more coming. A poor man can violate the law and he suffers the penalty A rich man can do the same and ha goes free. I hope God will forgive your sins as I know mlna are. " He was then pinioned and tlio noose and black cap adjusted , and at Just 12 16 Sheriff J. II Eldrldge sprung the trap that launched Murderer James O Dooley into eternity The drop was about seven feel and his Ufa was pronounced extinct ut 12 34. The crime for which Dooley was executed was one of the most brutish and unprovoked murders ever committed In Iowa , the killIng - Ing of Mrs , William Coons and her 11-year- old daughter , Nellie. In May , 1892. Dooley made his home with his uncle , William Coons , near I'rescott , la , working on his uncle's farm and going : to school. On the morning of May 11 , Mr. Coons ( went to visit a son , leaving Doaley to care for the stock. Dooley passed moat of tc the t afternoon In I'rescott , where he presented a forged order from Mr. Coons to a hardware - ware J merchant for "anything he wants , " with which he secured a 32-callbre re volver. Ho left town about noon. At about 12:30 citizens of Prescott heard two pistol shots but thought nothing of U at the time. An hour later Dooley waa seen driving rapidly toward the north. The terrible crime was not discovered un til 5 o'clock the next day , when Mr. Coons returned home. Tha county officials were notified at once and Immediately started on the young man's track. Dooley drove northwest from Frescott , and on Wednesday evening stayed at James Hus- sell's farm , seven miles from the sccno of the crime. He drove from there to Vllllsca and put his team up at a livery stable On descriptions sent out by the sheriff ho was arrested by the Vllllaca ofticlali In the depot that evening , where he was making an In quiry regarding a telegram. He waa brought to Corning , and at the Juno term of court was convicted of murder In the Brut degree and sentenced lo hang June 1C , IS93 Dooley was respited pending Ihe decision ot Ihe supreme court , which In May ot Ihla year a dinned the decision of the lover court , and on the 27th of September Governor Jackson , In accordance with law , signed the death warrant and set the date of execution. Dooley claimed to bo oaly 16 years old when he committed ttie murder , though he bad the stature and ways of a man. While he. had full possession ot bla faculties he was of a dull , brutish temperament and possessed none of the finer sensibilities of manhood. Ho had saturated his mind with covtbojr literature and loved to ape the bravado of dime novel heroes. Wnot Her llualmnd Located. Mrs. Nellie Willis.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 19. In his annual report just published Urigadler Oener.il Mcr- rltt , commanding the Department ot Dakota , says that the movement of troops In his de partment during last summer was occasioned by two remarkable outbreaks , which It has been necessary to control .by the use of the army , In April was the organization and movement of the so-called Army of the Com- monweaters of Christ , and later the Ameri can Hallway union strike commencing on the Northern Pacific , projected In sympathy with the strike at Pullman The llrst of those developed to the great est extent In the farther northwestern portion tion of the department ot the state of Mon tana , being atigumentcd and aggravated by causes like tlnse which mide the strike occurlng subsequently of coiulderable pro portions nnd more or less dllllcult to con trol. The causes are a largo floating , min ing and at times unemployed population , which being more or le-s * free from the re straint of law Is nlwnvs ready to join any movement In which idlenesfc , vlclousness and lawlessness are found Another cause Is an affected sjmpatliy extended to the lawless by both high and Ion In office who depend on the suffrage of the leis law abiding for their positions. This principle ot depend ence la apparent among all classes of the community. The merchant the grocer , the tradesman and all who live by the patronage of others are constrained to openly express sympathy with the violent and In many cases with the lawless , because of the principle of boscotting , whlrli has been re duced to a science In this newly nnd nuMgerly populated state. While many In these communities of the clisscs of which I speak privately condemn lawless conduct , fear that their means ot procuring a llvll- hooil 'will be taken from them by the boy cott places them , so far as the r public ex pressions of opinion go , among the worst element. It is not wonderful , under these circum stances tint lawlessness was In the as cendant In Montana during both of the ab normal oiitbreaVs refrred to It Is per haps only necessary to add tint all the re sistance which waa nmde to civil authori ties. In no instance did the people Included In this outbreak resist the military when It appeared on the scene of disturbance The troops -were used with complete discretion by the officers in command , and the law was enforced without violence In treating of the great atr Ke which stopped every wheel on the Northern Pacific railroad and Indicted great loss and untold Inconvenience upon the public General Mer- rltt says"It is difficult to conceive a woise tttato nt affairs than existed on this road. There was no mall cummun ration from any point west ot Kargo The posts situated on this road could hold no communi cation with department headciuarlers save by telegraph. If the blockade had been continued communities living and troops sta tioned at different points on the road were In danger of starvation resulting from the stop page of supply trains " General Merrill tells In detail how he dis posed his forces to meet the emergency and open up communication , anil ? avs : "It la especially gratifying to note all of these move ments , which involved In many Instances considerable marching under the least pleas ant conditions , were performed promptly and In the most creditable manner. The dis patch with which troops moved , without being cautioned to that effect , the celerity with which they reached theJr several desti nations and Ihe clearness with which orders were understood and reports were made re flect credit on the soldierly Instincts ot the responsible officers at the posts and In the field flli "I have no doubt that If ample measures | had not been taken In time to prevent it a jyeat destruction of railroad proper ! } , even to the effaccment of the road for d consider able length of time , would have been wrought by the lawless element whose character has been hinted at In the foregoing " In conclusion General Merrltt returns his thanks to the ofllcers ot his staff and to Colonels Swain and Burt especially , for their excellent management of the theater of operations In their care. In connection with the labor troubles he also calls at tention to the necessity of a system of tac tics for machine guns.
