Ho responded and reported to Judge Horn don that tho Jury was ready to come Into court. Thero was great Bllence as the Jury filed Into tho court room, but there was no demonstration when circuit uiorK Ford finished reading the verdict, which read: "Wo, the Jury, find the defendant not guilty." As tho words were road the crowd , arose and sent up a wild cheer. Colonel Colson, tho defendant, was standing near the wit ness chair. The crowd took no notice of tho court officers, who pounded vigorously for order, but piled over the railings, surround ing Colson, nnd Inolsted on shaking hands with him. They gave an ovation to the Jury and Colonel James Andrew Scott, Col son's chief counsel. Tho cheering kept up till Colson left tho court room and as he did so. It was taken up by tho Beckham soldiers In front of tho court house, to which tho colonel returned a salute. Tho tragody, which renulted In tho crime for which Colson was tried, occurred Jan uary 16. In a duel with Lieutenant Kthel bert K.

Tvnrs Clerk of tho Court ,....Jume S. llearn .Mesmerist Mr. Archer Cathorlu Miss Maud Milton Sozel Miss Hrenda Gibson Annetto Miss Heutrlce Irwin It Is a far cry from Shylock, the Jow, to Mnthla3, tho burgomaster; but tho versa tility of Sir Henry Irving was able to span the distance, nnd his Interpretation of tho onu was as meritorious as tho other. To dwell upon last night's production of "Tho Dells" would bo to reitcrato much of what was said yesterday of tho perfection of tho great master's art an art of such con summate perfection thnt to try and Improve upon it wero like an attempt "to gild re fined gold or paint tho lily." While It Is truo that "Tho Hells," as measured by tho canons of dramatic con struction, falls far short of being an ldenl composition, It Is also truo that, in the rolo of Mathlas, It presents opportunities that only a great nctor can compass. Re morse Is tho dominant theme, and tho principal character is carried along on Its ever-swelling wave, until at last tho terri ble strain becomes too great to be borno and death brings relief from tho stings of 1 conscience. It does not matter that tho 1 dream sccno In tho last net contravenes tho laws of hypnotic suggestion in every particular, and that tho happenings there . sot down could novcr havo really occurred, j Tho terrlbleness of It all was sulllelent to ' palsy tho critical faculty, nnd so strongly and weirdly drawn that no ono In all tho vnst nudienco dreamed that an nbsurdlty was being enacted upon tho stago beforo them. Of Mr. Irvlng's Matlilan, only words of wnrmest commendation can ho written. It wns characterized by a virility nnd finish to which probably no other Engllsh-speak-! ing nctor could nttaln, and tho nctlon was in tno nature oi an ever increasing crtfl condo that found its culmination in tho death of tho man who had been tempted above, what ho was ablo to hear. Tho great in fact, tho only fault with Mr. Irvlng's work Is that ho not Infrequently lowers his tones so that It Is Impossible, for those 1 Bitting far from tho stago to hear what ho Is saying. In dramas llko "Tho Merchant of Venice," whero ovcryono Is familiar I with tho lines, this does not matter so i much: but In "The Hells" It must havo detracted not a llttlo from tho enjoyment of tho play. It Is hardly necessary to say that tho sup port wns adequate. Especially worthy of commendation was tho Annette of MIjs Ilo- atrlco Irwin, tho Catberln of Miss Maud Gibson and the Walter and llnnc of Messrs. Charles Dodsworth and Clifford Hrown, re , spcctlvcly. I Taken nil In nil, it may bo said that the engagement of Mr. Irving nnd Miss Terry was an ovent in the dramatic history of the j city which will not bo forgotten. It is not likely that either ho or Miss Terry will ever bo seen In tho city again, anil tho theater loving peoplo of Omaha havo reaoon to feci grateful to Manager Durgetis for giving them ona opportunity to see the two great- '.nnce OlelHeld" A comedlatta In one act by Charles Heade.
