Monthly Meeting.
TOASTS HELP TO ROUND OUT THE EVENING
BpcnUrr * Tell of "Whnt In Bclnir Done
to J'linh OninUit and the
KxiionKloni to the
Front. .
The meeting of the Commercial club last
bight was another of the big successes
which the monthly gatherings have grad
ually been becoming during the last twelve
months. The supper was god , the service
wan excellent and the spccchca were enter
taining not too long and not too many In
number. The result was an evening of en
joyment , which was partaken of by some
ICO of 'he ' members of the club ana their
business acquaintances.
The supper was served promptly at 7
o'clock. The menu , as at all suppers of
the past , was made up of Nebraska-grown
products. The service was good and con
sequently It was but llttlo more than an
hour after scats were taken that cigars were
lighted and Toastmastcr Euclid Martin
launched the post-prandial symposium of the
evening.
President J. E. Haum was the first speaker ,
his topic being "Tho Commercial Club. " He
devoted his remarks to the efforts that are
being in a Jo to Induce local and outside cap
ital to go Into local manufacturing enter
prise ? . Ho Insisted that now particularly
wad the time to start In In a small way for
Iho purpose of showing moneyed men who
may come hero during the exposition that
this city otters tinequaled opportunities for
them to accumulate wealth by embarking
into business enterprises In Omaha. Mr.
Baum slid that thcro arc now several en-
tciprlses ready to be taken hold of which
arc certain to return good profits , If some
capital were Injected Into them. Club mem
bers who are not able to put. money Into
the enterprises themselves wcro urged to
interest friends and acquaintances who have
'tho ' necessary Idle capital.
FIIOM OMAHA , TO TUB GULP.
Judge 'Den ' 8. Baker gave a humorous ac
count of the recent trip of the club from
"Omaha to Port Arthur , " aaJ related a
number of anecdotes Kvhlch Implicated mem-
ibcrs. Considering the trip from a buslne's
standpoint , Judge Ilaker said that It had
demonstrated that by means of the Port
'Arthur route Omaha Is brought so cloeo to
tidewater that products of this section of
the country can bo shipped to foreign trade
at an expense about one-half of what It Is
at present. Members were also Impressed
with the Idea that the road passed through
a country that could bo made Immensely
valuable. In the course of his remarks
Judge Haker spoke of the-inngnlllcent hospi
tality with which the club members had
'been ' greeted at every point along the trip ,
particularly on Its southern length , and
found In thla a further cementing of the
good feeling between the north and south.
The response to the toast "What Can Each
aicmbcr Do for the Club" waa made by
John Steel. "Among nome of the duties
devolving upon members , " said the speaker ,
"Is to meet in the club parlors as often as
possible to exchange suggestions for the
material advancement an/1 Improvement of
the city. They should ccmo together like
partners In a 'business ' house to work for
the common good. Every meinjber must
feel that the progress of the club Js a matter
of Interest and concern to himself , and must ,
therefore , tlo nil work ( b.at is put upon him
In order to 'build up the b'hdy. "
" \VT > at Other People Think of Us" was
the toast to which K. J. Cornish was called
upon to respond. In opening his remarks
! Mr. Cornish remarked'upon the big advertis
ing the exposition received during the last
southern trip that was managed byV. . II.
Green and II. Hardy. The junket extended
over twelve lines of road and through eleven
different states. All along the trip the
party was honored by the presence of gov
ernors of states , mayors of cities and the
best business clement. In every city Mr.
( Hardy secured lengthy advance notices an'd '
accounts of visits and speeches from half
a column to two columns In length. At
every place the visitors were heartily enter
tallied. The speaker also briefly described
the trip and related a number of Incidents
of It. All In all , ho Judged from the re
ceptions and newspaper accounts that all
ecctlons of the country through which the
party passed were brought to think well of
Omaha and the west.
BOOMED ( THE EXPOSITION.
Mora was to have been bald about the
nnmo trip by Hov. S. Wrl&bt Duller in ro-
uponso to the toast , "AroUnd the Circle In
Fourteen Days. " Ilev. Duller , however , was
atvsent on account of Illness and the toast waa
assigned to W. II. Green , Iho conductor of
the trip. Mr. Green stroke of Us. succcro
and said that it proved of great benefit to thb
exposition. Among other things he asserted
that the. delegation had more to do than any
body or anything else In Inducing Missouri
to appropriate a big gum for an exhibit. Ho
also gave the delegation the credit of se
curing the appropriations in Kentucky and
Ohio. In this connection ho complained that
the local papers fcavo not been giving the
delegation proper credit for this work , but
were giving It to tfao "hired men" of the
exposition who are traveling ! through the
elates In its Interests. Mr. Green also
asset ted that the credit must not be con
fined to the Omaha contingent alone , but to
the forty-four Nebraskana from the interior
of the state who formed a part of tbo dele
gation.
The final toast on the programme wat ,
'Ttio Exposition and the Dcglnnlng of
A New Development for Omaha , " end wa
responded to by John L. Webster. The
speaker said tfiat the exposition marks the
transition from the industrial civilization
which began with the pioneers , to the motvo.
polltan civilization of Omaha. This latter
n\aa described as the drifting and flocking
of people from the country to the city. The
speaker said that Omaha miMt see to It tfiat
It qets Us share of this now Immigration. As
to the moans , ho said that they must bo
found In the cause that Is leading to the
immigration , which ho said wo. a desire for
nmlUKtucnt , pleasure , contentment and hap
pinos. Ho therefore slid that Omaha mus
furnish a means to satisfy ttieao tlceCrea
with clean streets , boulevards , museums and
with surroundings that will plcato the mlntl
ncid censes. Itio exposition can be regardei
us symbolical of what Omaha might be and
must bo to secure this metropolitan clvlll
ration and become the glory of the transmits
isslppl country.

.AMUSEMENTS
That the public craves novelty In Its the
atrical entertainment was shown anew lost
light by one of the largest audiences of this
ir any other season which did honor to
ilr. Mansfield's new Dernarl Shaw play at
Doyd's. Doubtless the size of the assemblage
ivas in large measure also due toMr. . Mans
field's own popularity ; the proportions will
jo more conclusively demonstrated by the
jtlicr two performances of the engagement ,
r hlcli will be devoted to older and better
knoun parts of the actor's repertory.
If the people went looking for some new
hlng in play-writing they got It , "beyond " a
.iroadventure , In "The Devil's Disciple. " Mr.
Bernard Shaw , having given the world a
.asto of his quality In "Arms and the Man , "
han vouchsafed a etlll nearer vlci.v of his
unique personality in this later work. For
the first time in the history of the drama a
professed atheist , who glories In his unbe
lief , is made the , hero of a play. We have
had liars for heroes , and adulterers , and
criminals of all degrees , .who have been for
the most part made heroes by their authorn
because of their lying , or adultery , or mis
cellaneous crime. Dick Dudgeon wins the
.dmlratlon of those who come under his
nfluonco , not by reason of his Irrcliglon ,
but In splto of it ; and therein docs > Mr. Der-
nard Shaw avoid the stumbling- block over
which many leas sure-footed have porno to
grief. Ho even -makes Dick's reckless blas
phemy a pathetic thing , compelling regret
and sorrow for It , such as one might feel
over the depravity of a neglected or pcr-
erted child. For the religion which formed
.he nurture and admonition of Dick's chlld-
hosil. and against which ho revolted in
> outh , was the hideous cult of a GoJ of
k-cngeance , and its devotees were the stern
.followers of Calvin , who would unquestion
ably have closed up an exposition on Sun
day , If there had ibeen one to close. Dick
would seem to have been unfortunate even
.n his associations with the Presbyterians
of that day , for a more unwholesome lot
than assembled at the reading of the will
was never RathcroJ together at synod or
conventlde. To swing from such an extreme
to the other would not be difficult for a
young man of fine feelings and a reasonable
amount ot manliness ; hence to find Dick
Dudgeon a scoffer at religion and a revller
of goodness .entails no serious strain upon
the Imagination.
The first act of the play aeems a bit tedi
ous , but It Is essential to a proper under
standing of the character of Dick. Without
that picture ot bigotry , Intolerance and
hypocrisy ho would bo a monster and well
nigh ridiculous. In it ho finds his reason
for being , and In contrast with it his nature
shows whlto and almost without flaw. The
second act , In both its scenes , is strikingly
unconventional and full of augmenting
strength. The third is likewise strong In
the parting of the supposititious husband
limllfo before the trial and Inthe court
martial scene ; but neither the Interest nor
the originality can be said to bo maintained
In the hanging episode and what follows ,
for the piece ends , so far as its main in
cident la concerned , like plenty of inelo
dramas written by others than Bernard
Shaw. The dialogue Is unmistakably his ,
being quite what "Arms and the Man" gave
reason to expect , bright to the point of real
wit and reckless of all conventions.
Mr. Mansfield evidently plays the part of
Dick Dudgeon con amore. It Is quite 1m'
possible to conceive of anyone else doing it
so extremely well , or eo faithfully repre
senting In bodily form the author's singular
fionccptlon. LCFS refined as a work of art
than his Brummell , more appealing to hu
man sympathy than his Chcvrlal , less
powerful In its psychological Insight than
his Shylock , more readily comprehensible
than hla Gloater , it remains an achievement
of which a mm might never rise too high
to bo proud.
Many of the former members of Mr.
Mansfield's company arc still with him. Mr.
Andrews' friends searched for a time for
him among the characters on the stage , and
at last discovered him In the effectual dis
guise of the booby Christopher. Ho does
nothing 111 , and a Mansfield performance
without him would miss a certain proportion
tion of its charm. Mrs. Mansfield Is not
with the company at present , greatly to the .
regret of her many admirers. The role of I
the minister's wife Is very acceptably filled ,
however , by Miss Keelcr. Kittle Lottie
Drlscoe. whoso remarkable performance In
"For Fair Virginia" will bo remembered ,
has A srrall part in this plcco and makes
tlio most of it. Miss Clarke gives a con
vincing picture of the stony-hearted mother
in the fir lit act , and Mr. Johnson brings his
resonant voice and abounding energy to
bear upon the part of the fighting parson.
The play is lavishly put on with Mr. Mans
field's well known attention to details.
This afternoo-u "Deau Drummcll" will bo
presented , and the engagement closes to
night with a performance of "A Parisian
Romance. "
Edward Harrlgan on Thursday night and
Roland Heed on Friday and Saturday will
till out the week at lloyd'ts.
A largo audience spent last evening with
"Shakespeare In Picture and Song" at the
First Congregational church end a very de
lightful evening it was. Stcrcoptlcon slides
taken from famous pictures of scenes In
Shakespeare's plays were especially pre
pared for the entertainment. While the
pictures were before the audience appropriate
Bonus were rendered and passages from the
dramas were road by Mrs. J. J. Dickey. The
entertainment opened with music fron :
"Midsummer Night's Dream , " Mendelssohn
by Miss Uonner. Paul Thmnan's beautiful
picture , "Oberon Waking Tltana , " appeared
during the music and remained in view dur
ing the singing of Horn's "I Know a Dank , ' "
by Mrs. Wlllielm and Mlas HoaglanJ. Fol-
lowlnc this picture came others from "Tho
Tempest. " "Much Ado About Nothing. "
"Illchard III , " "Macbeth. " "Hamlet,1 "Oth
ello , " "Uomco and Juliet. " "Taming of the
Shrew" and "Merchant of Venice. " Solos
were eung by Mrs. Wllhelm , Miss Hoagland
and Mlrs Van Kuran and a quartet composed
of MIBECS Van Kurcn and Latey and Messrs ,
Allen and Dean rendered "Sigh No More ,
Ladles , " Macfarrcu , in a pleasing manner.
The muslp added much to the effectiveness
of the pictures. Mrs. Dickey's reading was
perhaps the feature of the evening. Her
rendering of the sleep-walking scene from
"Macbeth" was especially well received by
the audience.

HIS CONDITION IS A I'U'/ZI.EIl.
1'ecullnr Clnlm of n 'Man In the
County Jail.
T. J. O'Connor , a South Omaha resident ,
has been In the county jail for the last six
weeks on the charge of Insanity. Whatever I
the actual condition of his mind may be , he
U certainly sane enough to demand a hear
ing , but although he baa made such a de
mand several times during- the filx weeks ,
his request has so 'far been Ignored. In the
meanwhile the cost of his board and lodg
ing Is being paid out of the coffers ot the
county.
If O'Connor Is Insane he does not manifest
any of the symptoms to people Iwho talk w-lth
him , nor have any of them ibecome eo evi
dent as to attract the attention , of the jail
officials. The latter say that he may bo
rrazy on some subjects , but that ho seems
to be perfectly right on everything that has
came up In the course of his Jail life. In
sanity Commissioner Tllden 'has ' eeen the
man twice and he says that Tie Is mentally
unbalanced , but he bases his opinion no more
en personal Investigation than on some writ
ten evidence that has been given by O'Con
nor's brother and a South Omaha priest.
O'Connor wrote to The HCB a few days
ago. saying that he was "being " unjustly held
In the jail on the charge of Insanity and that
'his demands for a heating were being Ig-
nored. iHc reiterated the same .statements
to a representative of The iBee who visited
htm in jail. 'Ills story was b straightforward
one. 'He ' said that on January 20 howas
arrrctcd In f-outh Omaha at the Instance of
a Catholic priest on the charge of disturb
ing the peace. Before trial the charge was
( withdrawn and a charge of Insanity pre
ferred against him by 'his ' brother. On Jan
uary 24 he was removed to the couity Jail.
"On the next day Dr. Tllden vl.Jlted me
and asked me a few questions , " says O'Con-
ncr. "Ho came once again after that. 'I
have demanded a hearing < bcfore the Doard ot
Insanity Commissioners , but no attention has
been paid to my request. I hae no money with
which to employ counsel. I think It noth
ing moro than right that 1 should be given
a trial , In order that my sanity or insanity
may be shown/1 i
Insanity Commissioner Tllden ays that
when ho first saw the man ho reached the
conclusion that he was somewhat unbalanced
mentally , but since ho has received letters
from a brother he hae come to the conclusion ,
that be is Inssne. These fetters Indicate
that O'Ccnner hae been a victim ot delusions.
"The roan baa not been given a hearing
because I was not able to get the evidence
of hla brother and other witnesses Immedi
ately , " added Dr. Tilden. "It will be neces
sary for them to appear at the trial. I
thought alee that It would do no harm for
O'Conner to be In Jail , since he teems to be
improving. T Intend to have the trial take
place as aoon at possible. From the letters
th t have been written to me I am of the
opinion that the man U Insane. I believe
his brother Is actlnfilmall sincerity. "
O'Conner lived InlBotitb Omaha some eight
years , although ho smao away a part ot that
time. He was forrmrJJr engaged In the In
surance buslncee tthti a , brother , but the
partnership wan dl blTcd about a year ago.
At that time ho wasi arrested on the charge
of embezzlement attttUe Instance of an In
surance company , but the case was dropped ,
a settlement beingmade.
There Is even eome question about the case
1 belonging to this county. O'Conner Insists
that Ms house is on the outskirts of Al
' bright , over the Sarpy county line. In that
event the law would require that he be
turned over to tbo Bnrpy county authorities.

AT THE HOTELS.
[
"Education does not seem to have the
hoped-for civilizing Influence among the
Sioux Indians , " said a South Dakota man at
ono of the hotels , "and from all I can hear
I guess the condition of other tribes Is about
the same as that of the Sioux. For twenty
years I have lived near a Sioux reservation ,
and have carefully observed all the Indians'
movements. The government teachers and
agents force the children Into the schools in
most cases and have a hard time to keep
them at work. Occasionally there Is tn In
dian who wants his children educated , but he
Is the exception. As a rule Indian parents
htdo their children and try la all possible
wajs to keep them out of school. The little
Indians are bright and leajn readily If their
attention ecu bs commanded. After the chil
dren have finished the agency schools , many
of them are sent to Carlisle and other
schools , but even after they are separated
for a long time from their parents amd aa-
soclates they ijtlll retain their old Indian
wajs , and upon returning , fall into the
habits of the trlbo In a few weeks. Wheii
the young Indian men return from Carlisle
they are very respectable look'og and dress
In civilized fashion , but the fascination of
their old lazy habits overtakes nearly all of
them , and cue by one their civilized articles
of wearing apparel give way to the blanket
and moccasin , and there Is nothing left to
distinguish them from the other members
of the tribe. These educated Indians , after
a while even refuse to speak English. The
old saying , 'Once an Indlrn , always an In
dian , ' holds good almost without exception.
I have known a few Indiana who r.ettled
down io farmtag and earned their living , but
they were mostly half-breeds. Cattlemen
have trouble all the time with the Indlars ,
for when game gets scarce they will kill
beef. When the Indians receive their cup-
piles from the government they are not con
tented till they have used them all up. Edu
cation docs not seem , to help them learn to
provide for the future , and they often live
on slenlei' ratlcr.s and filcep In exposed
places. This , neglect Is telling on them. It
Is only a question of a few years till the
Sioux will be cxtlact. "
"Many 'cities ' are hilly , ( but Duluth Is the
peer of them all In t'jis respect , " eaid W. S. '
Oced. " .Tho city is Ciullt on the side of an
enormous bluff , which rises almost perpen
dicularly out of the lake. The houses set
In their little niches In the tf.uff look llko
they had been droppe.I there and were facld
In place by the dent made -when they lodged.
A level place for a building slto has to bo
blasted out' , of the solid rock which consti
tutes the bluff. ( Although It Is very hard
work to get around in 'Duluth ' , ono feels re
paid for the climbing when looking about
the surrounding country , which Is so plainly
In view from' a',1 parts of t'he ' city , and par
ticularly when watching the vessels that
abound on the lake. The shipping Interests
In 'Duluth are quite heavy. It Is the point
from which much ot the Minnesota wheat
Is shipped , and then a great many train
loads of Iron ore are loaded Into the vessels
at Duluth every day. The excursions Into
Dulut'h keep the city ful'l ' of people during
the entire summer. "

FUTURE OF BEEF MARKET
One Problem that the Dealers Cannot
Solve ,
MONEY BEING M\DE NOW BY THE SfLLERS
Country In Full of Feeder * , tint When
They Are < Jone Tln-rc * In Xolh-
to ItriilpnlHU the
Stock.
"What of the cattle market ? " Is the ques
tion that every business man who expects to
cell goods In the cattle feeding country of
the west Is asking these days. While the
questioners are numerous , the man with the
answer bis not appeared as yet. It Is ps-
slblo to predict a good many things as liable
to happen contingent upon certain other
things ' happening , but just at the present
time there are so many its In the way that
an opinion Is of no value.
At the present tlmo beef cattle. ' are bring
ing very fair prices , and where the cattle
were gcod to start with , and where the
fcede.1 understood his business , and the cat
tle took on fnt leadlly , money Is being made
by the sellers. At the same time It muat be
bcrno In mind that the farmers and feeders
cf the west paid very high prices for the
cattle to start with and good prices for fat
cattle are necessary to get them out whole.
A good many operator- the markets of
the countty adhere to the Idea that eventu
ally values will go higher on finished beef ,
but whether the advance will come In tlmo
for the majority of the feeders of the coun
try { to get the benefit of the advance remains
to be seen.
EVERYBODY BOUGHT CATTLE.
The country has been very sanguine of
higher prices ever since last fall , when any
thing In the slupo of a feeder brought such
extravagant prices. The country still takes
that view of the situation , as evidenced by
the high prices at which stock cattle and
feeders are selling. The country fur and
near has been scoured by speculatora and
shippers In search of cattle to satisfy the
farmers of the corn growing states. From
Canada to Mexico no locality has been over
looked. Thousands of little northern cattle
knothcads , that look llko 2-year-olds when
they are fully grown have been sold to the
Inexperienced farmers In eome of the corn
states , and from certain localities In the
south have conio other cattle equally unde
sirable , as no amount of feeding can make
them take on flesh or add materially to
their weight.
So nnxlotui for stock cattle Is the country
that It is rather the rule than the exception
that thu lilghctit price paid on the market for
a given day Is for little stockeia rather than
for choice heavy beeves.
The fact tint the country has been so
thoroughly scoured for cattle to be placed on
feed , and that the present offerings arc so
light. Is the basis upon which Is founded the
belief in higher prices for fat cattle. It
eeem reasonable to expect that with the sup
ply of feeders materially reduced there must
como a tlmo when the supply of fat cattle
will also show a shrinkage. When that
time comes It will be no easy matter to hold
prices down even if it should be the dealie
of any one to do so.

" \Vo told you yesterday that our new spring suits will
not bo marked down in August or July. They won't.
They nre marked down now. The prices on them
are so low now that you will bo only too glad to pay
them , for no house on earth will be able to show
you'as good goods for the same prices , no matter how
long you wait. We know that to bo an absolute
fact but we want you to know it. "We want you to
go around and compare. We want you to use your
own eyes and your own judgment because adver
tisers ain't angels andTies do slip into the paper oc
casionally by mistake. Today , to start the ball roll
, ing we call attention to two new suits which we think
will do some "tall talldn' " before the season is out.
One is a beautiful gray blue plaid from the well
known Sawyer mills whose products are reliable and
superior and which are seldom found in suits under
fifteen dollars. The price of these suits in this store
will be seven dollars and ti half. Another is
a work of art in a mixture of brown and bronze
green which nine men out of ten would bo willing
to pay fifteen dollars for and they would bo worth
it too if it wasn't ' for the fact that we will be will
ing to sell them to all coiners for nine dollars and a
half. Why nine and a half ? Why not ten dollars ?
Because , stranger , the difference between this store
and other stores is that instead of getting as much
as we can , we get along with as little as wo can.
