Deputy Sliei-IfT ( irclie ruptures n Hold
Horse Thief.
Deputy Sheriff Lou Grcbo made a $ 'JO
catch last night a-ml landed a long-looked-for
horse thief In the county Jail. For several
months a thief possessed of unusual nerve
has been making free vlth horses around
Omaha and Grebe has been watching for
him with llttlo success. He would get a
trace ot him and lose It almost as soon. U
seemed that the thief's boldness was hU ;
best protection.
Last night Grcbo pot a warrant for the
arrest of aman at Florence , on a charge
of stealing a spring wagon. He went out
and served the warrant and found he had
captuicd the horse thief for whom he had
so long searched.
Charles Homo Is the name given by the
thief. Ho is held specifically for stealing n
spring wagon from the premises at Forty-
third and Charles streets. Among other
charges against , him are stealing a black
mara from Greene Swazc at Klkhorn on De
cember 12 last and a horse from a Hurt
county farmer named Gammell on February
IS. Ilorne had In 'his ' possession when cap
tured a spring wagon with a cover and a
camping outfit. His team consisted of a
gray horse and a bay mare.
Douglas and Hurt counties have offered
rewards for his capture and so has Greene
Swaze , so the trip to Florence is worth $ UO ,
besides the satisfaction to Grebe.
.TiiokNonliiii CiinipiilKM Committee.
Tlio campaign committee of the Jack-
Ionian , club held a meeting at the club
rooms lust night for the puryo.se of discuss
ing ways and means of carrying on th ?
city campaign and organizing- the forces
in the several wards. The committee con
sists of one member from each ward In
the city and the situation In each ward
was discussed li ) detail and plans formu
lated for aiding tlio city central commit
tee In Its work. The committee was of the
opinion that unless the populists could be
drawn Into a plan of fusion there was a
very dubious prospect of defeating the
republicans.

The Mexican Financier , a weekly Journal
of finance published In the City of Mexico ,
In Its last number has nn editorial on the
subject of expositions , which advocates the
advisability of making a creditable display
at Omaha In 1898. The article speaks of the
Invitations which have been received by the
government to exhibit tlie country's re
sources at the Nashville exposition during
the summer of the ptwent year , at the
TransmlsslsFlppl Exposition and at Paris in
1900. The editorial continues as follows :
"Though these expositions arc to
bo on a far smaller soalo than that
which will elgnalizo the close ot the century
at Paris , and for which a preliminary ap
propriation lo 'Incorporated In the budget ot
expenditure of the Mexican govern
ment for the coming fiscal year , wed
d not hesitate to ( .ay that more practical
utility Is calculated to accrue to Mexico
from a comprehensive exhibit of her resour
ces at the comparative ! } unpretentious dis
plays contemplated In the states of Tennessee
and Nebraska during this and next year
than on the more Imposing stage of the
French metropolis in 1900. "
The attlclo dlecussra the balance of trade
between Mexico and the United Slates , as
compared with the buslncrs""done with Euro
pean countries and argues In favor of fosterIng -
Ing the friendly relations already existing
between the two republics by showing the
rcsldcnto of the northern country the re
sources and productions of the southern portion

which carries to the coffers of Kin ope each

A party of exposition promoters left for
Chicago last night over the .Milwaukee road
to meet the olilclals of tne World's fair at
the Union League club at noon today.
The party comprises E. Rosewatcr , AV. S.
Poppleton , 1) . Farrell , jr. , C. W. Lyman of
Omaha and Lucius Wells of Council Bluffs.
The party will be entertained nl the Union
League club by II. N. Higinbotiiaai , the
president of the World's ralr. A number of
the officials of the great Columbian exposition
will be present , as well as prominent citizens
of Chicago , among whom will be William
Penn Nixon , Colonel R. C. dowry and
Ferdinand W. Peck. Exposition Ideas will
form a subject of discussion and the Chicagoans -
cagoans will be Informed fully regarding the
Transmlsslbslppl Exposition. The party will
proceed to Springfield Wednesday night and
will probably bo accompanied byn delegation
of prominent Chicago people. Thursday the
visitors will auicar before the committees of
ways and moans of both houses of the legis
lature In the Interest of the bill that Is
now pending in the Illinois legislature , pro
viding for the expenditure of $100.000 for the
purpose of making an exhibit at the Trans-
mlfcsisslppl Exposition , to bo held In this
city in 1S9S.
AMUSEMENTS.
These who eaw "For Fair Virginia" last
night at the Crclghton and there were not
so many of them as there should have been
were doubtless surprised and agreeably
disappointed , whatever their expectations.
Of making war dramas there would seem to
bo no end ; nor , with the wealth of material
furnished by these years of civil strife. Is
It reasonable to suppose that the list has
been yet more than fairly begun with views
of the actual struggle , like "Shenandoah"
and "Held by the Enemy. " and with plays
such as "Alabama , " in which memories of
war teach a lesson of peace.
"For Fair Virginia" is good onoug'i to
rank with the beat of the. e. It Is well con
ceived , ( Irmly constructed , full of action and
stirring or sentimental Incident , end serves
to Introduce , along with the serious busi
ness of war. some of the most delightful
comedy sltu.i'ions , presented by some of
the cleverest people , seen , here this reason.
Probably the place would make its way with
out these lighter passages , for it Is Intrln-
ulcally strong , and the workmanship Is good.
Last night the loudest applause and the
greatest enthusiasm were bestowed upon ths
somewhat , boisterous climax upon which the
curtain fell in the third act. Hut the con
sistent and unremitting villainy of L.tughlin
becomes a thought too melodramatic at
tlmcM , ami the excellent work of Mrs
Whytal , Mr. Woodard and Mr. Doane HI-II-
albly relieves an audience which without
It might at times grow weary.
The title , "For Fair Virginia. " has a
double B'gniflcanco ' , resembling in that re
spect Clay Clement's beautiful Idyl , "The
New Dominion. " The scene Is laid in Vir
ginia , but the struggle with which the char
acters In the play are moat nearly concerned
is that for fair Virginia Esmond , the con
testants being her Yankee husband and the
villain Laughlln. War is not unpleasant ! }
prominent In the shape ot marching armies
of supers , and the only wounds shown art.
a pulntcd semblance on a negro's arm am.
.1 spot of blood on a woman's sleeve. Then
If a dali ty tcenu ot love making , a touch
ing pieturo of a child's love for Us father ,
and a moving instance of negro fidelity. H
may he doubted If "For Fair Virginia" has
been or can be especially well liked In the
south , whore a generation of time has only
partially healed ancient wounds. Hut north
of that old tlmo parallel known as Mason
nml Dlxon's line , It ought to have the full
mcuhuro of Its merited success.
Mr. Whjtal courageously assigns to hlm-
self the ungrateful role of the melodramatic
southern general. It Is < | iilto possible that
Mr. Whytal , the author , might contrive to
modify this very unpleasant character In
sucli a manner as that Mr. Whytal , the actor ,
would find Increased and more worthy op
portunities for the exerclso o his undoubt
ed and evident abilities.
Mrs.Whylal seems particularly well adapt
ed to the part of Noll. Her work In the first
act is a delicious bit of girlish coquetry ,
and she Is by no means lacking In the stren
uous later scenes. Miss llert sho\vs genuine
dignity and admirable restraint ( is Virginia
Esmond. The llttlo girl , LottieIlrlscoe , It ,
without doubt the cleverest child who 1ms
been hero since the duyp of Fauutlcroy. Ap
parently quite without the usual faults of
stage children , she shows a naturalness
and an Intelligence which , properly guided ,
will carry her very far Indeed.
The veteran John Woodard , carrying
bravely the weight of more than Ihrco score
years and ten , raises the part of JCeb well
nigh to the piano where masterpieces are
found , and Mr. Doaiie , In addition to a thor
oughly enjoyable impersonation of a south
ern gentleman , soldier and good fellow , presents -
sonts a correct southern accent which Is a
pleasure to the ear.
Mr. Whytal , by stopping the action of the
play until the disturbance ceased , admin
istered a richly deserved rebuke to a party
of ten or a dozen men anil women who came
In fifteen minutes late and trnnncd down
noisily to scats in the front of luu parquet.
"For Fair Virginia" will close Its brief
engagement with two performances to-day ,
matinee and evening. It Is a pleasure to
commend no good an entertainment most
cordially to pop liar favor.
Jaunts O'Neill and his company will present
.Sheridan Kuowles' tragedy. "Vlrglnlus , " at
lloyil's tonight. "Vlrglnluu" depicts eno of
the most touching of human emotions , n
father's love for his daughter , very beauti
fully , and baa Juftly fatclrateJ tlie ocrloun
theatcr-goere of two hemispheres for nearly
three-quarters of a century , The old theater
goers will remember Forrest's presentation of
the tragedy and how It steadily I'.icrcaaedi In
popularity with John McCullough as Icilluu ,
and later on with O'Neill In the eamo part.
John McCullough Inherited the part from
Forrect. and sine * the death ot that actor the
sterling tragedy huftxen allowed A long rte
with few exceptions until James O'Neill Us
year decided to glvo n sumptuous revival o
the play , In which ho appeared at Hoyd'fl an
won cordial approval 'from an Omaha audl
ence. Nature has endowed Mr. O'Neill with
a magnetic personality , a silvery voice am
stately presence , which are essential for th
Interpretation ot such characters as th
proud and sorrow-stricken Roman father. Mr
O'Neill Is well pleased with the work of hi
company this season and It Is said It appcan
to good advantage In "Vlrglnlus" an
"Monte Chrlsto , " the laltsr of which will b
presented tomorrow evening. Uoth play
will bo elaborately staged. Every woman
holding a coupon for a seat on the first fioo
this evening will receive a eouvonlr of Mr
O'Neill In character.
The admirers of ( Stuart Robson are evl
dently preparing for a delightful treat at th
Creighton Friday and Saturday nights an
at the bargain matinee Saturday , as prepara
tlonu have been made for n most substantla
reception of the comedian. It is understood
that "Tho Jurkllns , " the new comedy whlc
Mr. Robson will present , Is perhaps the bra
play , from a. substantial stand | > ont ! , In whlc !
ho has yet appeared , and It seems that hi
local admirers are determined to give him t
most enthusiastic welcome. H was nnnouncci
K'vcral years ago that Mr. Robson , who I
covered with honors , contemplated retlrln
from the stage not that hu wished to do so
but because ho found It quite dlUlcult to pro
euro a drama exactly suited for him. Th
chance offering of Oplc Reid's novel gave bin
a character which. It Is eald , Is one of th
most delightful on the stage today and th
critics have pronounced It to be one of th
mott clever creations of Mr. Robson. Seat
will be placed on sale tills morning.
When will the time come when "Undo

alluring powers will be perennial. The Cool

and Saturday evenings , March 2C and 27 , am
at a matinee on Saturday.
"Too Much Johnson. " William Gillette's
greatest comedy SUCCCFO , which ran an en
tire season In New York , and was enjoyed
hero last year with Mr. Gillette in the cast
will bo presented tomorrow night at the
Crclghton. "Too Much Johnson" has beet
described as being a ntudy In laughter
which begins with Hie rise of the curtS'Ii
and never cc-ascs until Us final fall. The
author acknowledges that the idea of "Too
Much Johnson" Is based upcn the Frcncl
vaudeville , "TomasslM Plantation , " but enl }
the Idea , as in dialogue and character It Is
entirely original. Ilio company , under the
management of Charlrs Frohman , Is said to
bo nn excellent 0110 "In every detail. Hu
