honor. About 10 o'clock the participants
In tho set vice assembled, nnd evt'.yihlng

the appointed hour.
It would bo difficult to Imagine a more
weirdly solemn funeral service than tint
laid down In the Kndosh ritual. The olli
eers of this branch of tho Masonic order ns
srmbled around the casket, gowned In flow
ing robes of black. The tolling of a bell
added to the solemnity, Candles In tho
hands of the participants furnished light.
A quartet sang sacred inner. The hymns

Agm," "Thero's Wldeness In Clod's .Mercy"
nnd others of similar character. The officers
of tho preceptory under wh:so direction

and W. II. Whltehorn. bearers of beaus-jnt.
Tho widow of tho deceased wns present,
supported by friends. Sho was deeply Im
prcssed; and nt times It was difficult for her
to control her emotion. Thcro was a largo
attendance of women. In addition to the
music tho chanting of tho Lord's prayer
and Invocation by tho preceptor thero were
other ritualistic features, which prolonged
the servlco nearly two hours.

The Knights Kndosh admit only thoso
Masons who have reached tho thirtieth de
gree. Tho Kndosh funeral service Is of ancient
origin. It wuh practiced by tho original
Templars and tho ritual hns been handed
down through many successive generations.
This service Is seldom conducted.
Tho deceased was well known In this city
during a long residence here, and although
he removed to WnHhlngton In search of
health ho nt no time censed to regard
Omaha as his home. Ho was an engineer
prior to his nllllction. .Mrs. Smith is the
only surviving member of tho family.

In tho United States district court Sat

The potltlon Is a reminder of tho times
when Omnha real eBtnte won "booming"

Douglas county would go to sleep contcntoJ

center of a crowd of promoters, each anxious
to be permitted to plat and sell his farm

when a real cutate agont figured his dally
commissions In thousands ot dollars nnd
when the wisdom of the serpent was Instilll
clent to keep a man from Inventing hard
cash In Omaha lots, which wero nearer
tn tho Florence yostolTleo than to that of
Omaha.
In those days Dennis Cunningham was
ono of tho ephemernl planets of the business
world of that buslnem world which fcnsoa

Into his veins and with many others ho
saw no end to tho Inflation of values.

Tho popularity of "Monte Crlsto," that
weird, exciting and Improbable story of ad
venture, as well ns tho popularity of the
actor with whom the delineation of Kdmund
Dante, the Count of .Monto Crlsto, Is In
separably linked, were attested by the lib
eral patronage bestowed uron Mr. James
O'Neill's presentation of this drama Satur
day night. The production wns given In its
elaborate entirety; the story of the vile
machlnatlcn which resulted In the plunging
Into prison of Kdmund Dante, bis subse
quent escape and ultlmato acquisition of
fabulous wealth; tho picture of the faithful
devotion nnd unconquerlng love of Mercedes
and tho final retribution and Ignominious
end of tho scoundrels who connived Dante's
Imprisonment, were presented lrr a mnnner
will nigh above criticism.
The capability of Mr. O'Nelll'g supporting
company In the production of "Monte
Crlsto" was marked In comparison with tho
characterizations of the same actors In the
roles ossayrd by them In "Tho Musketeers."
.Mr. O'Neill Is us Ideal a shipmate, an ardent
lover, an educated, polished avenger, a lib
eral, generous dispenser of wealth untold as
of yore. If It ' were potslble his artistic
ability seems to lmprovo with the passage
of time. Nora O'Urien enacted tho dlfllcult
role of Mercedes In a highly praiseworthy
manner. The actors to whom havo been as
signed the principal malo characters in the
drama are remarkably well suited for their
respective parts and, added to this, an elab
oration In scenery nnd costumes, no contri
bution to tho complete hucccss of the pres
entation is overlooked.

town which has ulready taken on consid

tho north fork of tho Stinking Water river
In the heart of tho rich Dig Horn btsln.
Tho contcmplnted route, which muy, how

It Is being developed, promises that the new
