NORTH PLATTE, Neb., April 19. To tho
Editor of Tho I)co: The present turmoil
within republican ranks rclatlvo to the po
litical aspirations of John M. Thurston will
bo regrottod by every slnccro republican In
the stato. Howovcr lamentable this party
strlfo may be, thero Is nt least ono feature
lu connection with It that will bo welcomed
by ever conscientious and Intelligent mem
ber of tho republican party In the stato ot
Nebraska, and tho country nt largo, for that
matter, viz: A final doclslon whether this
organization la to bo utilized as an Instill
mint for 'tho benefit of tho Standard Oil
trust by an endorsement of its salaried
agent, or whether Its powers and Influence
nro to bo exercised In future In tho Interest
of tho welfare of this stato In particular
and goad government In general.
Whllo not desiring to foment further
ttoubln unnecessarily, I am most emphati
cally In favor of cnrrylng this light to n fin
ish for thlB purro.o. From tho fact that
there nro "others" who aro also members
of tho republican party nnd nro interested
In its welfare and tho execution ot Its high
purposes besides party leaders nnd am
bitious aspirants for otllclal distinction to
talk about smothering out the manifest oppo
sition throughout tho stnte to tho paid rep
rmntutlvo of n mammoth monopoly, act
ing In tho same capacity for tho great state
ot Nebraska at tho nation's cardial, through
any farcical attempts at "harmonizing dif
ferences" between would-be party leaders Is
to engago in a species of political folly that
will cost the republican party denrly, not
alono In this state, but throughout tho coun
try. Tho writer, in common with tbo mass of
republicans, whom aspirants for party and
political distinction must depend upon to
ratify their claims, has no personal ambi
tions or Individual cliolcu for filing tho
places of preferment within tho gift of tho
party other than that ot ability and per
sonal worth. From the fact that the Inter
ests of tho Standard Oil trust can In no wise
bo considered Identical with those ot tho
citizenship ot this stato, and whllo It Is
quite possible and altogothor probable that
John M. Thurston Is a valued nnd, no doubt,
conscientious representative of tbo said
Standard Oil trust, In the vory nnturo of
things 'tin cannot honestly represent tho
Interests of this stato nt tho sent ot national
government.
For this reason I enter protest against said
John M. Thurston receiving further honors
nt tho hands of the republican party of the
nlato of Nebraska. Furthermore, I 'wish to
Impress upon the thlmblerlggors (npd kin
dred Ilk who Infest ehe 'republican party, In
common with all political organizations,
that before they can enjoy the ofllclal crumbs
or gnaw tho federal bones that might bo
tossed to them through tho efforts ot a
United States senator, supplemented as they
might bo by tho mlghtly Standard Oil trust,
there must be somo voting dono before much
ot this can tako placo. This voting must bo
dono, In tho main, by republicans llko my
self, for Instance, who have no desire, were
opportunities ever so abundant, for "standing
lit" with these corrupting Influences. Tho

Causland and Dillon wcro unceremoniously
ro tired by him at various stages of tho
game. It was almost a phenomenal per

Hughes will bo rated as tho beot pitcher
in tho entire loaguo during the coming
season. Tho Regulars won tho game by a
scoro of 17 to 0.
President Buckerlno Keith stood spdnsor
for the team, which had tho temerity to.
oppose tho Rourko family. All 'of
them, except Dorcas, aro either sub
stitutes or applicants for positions on tho
regular team, but their work Sunday was
hardly up to a professional standard. Dil

but after nlno runs had been piled up Ncw
moyor was substituted. Tho latter pitched
a fairly steady game on a more equitable
bnsltf.
Tho contest was witnessed by nn enthusi

(innie Thla Afternoon.
If the ruin doesn't Interfere tho Univer
sity ot Nobraska team will try Its hund
on tho Omoha Western leaguo team this
nftornoon. Nebraska promises to mako
President Keith's boys hustle. In this re
spect It Is perhaps well to note that Bliss
will do tho rotatory work for tho collegians.
This young man Is said to havo up his
sleeve a most wondorful nnd Intricate set
ot geometric designs which he cheerfully
unfolds to tho wonder and bewilderment of
such 'batters as are presented to him, If ho
happens to tie feeling well he does Just
what Freddy Barnes, another alumnus of
'Nobraska, used to do. Ho makes monkeys
of them. It will be at Vinton Street park
and will begin at 3:30 with this line-up:

"A Photographic Flx"..MorrlHsey und Rich
Milton and Dollio Nobles, high grade
vaudeville artists, who havo popularized
themselves In Omaha as well as elsewhere
with admirers of original vnudevllllan pro
ductions, wero accorded a warm welcome
upon their return to this city. Their pres
ent appearance Is in au Interesting society
Bkotch from tho pen of Mr. Nobles. Tho
theme Is not original dealing as It docs
with tho curing of a flirtatious husband
by an ostensible affair ot similar naturo on
tho part of tho wife, but somo clever Ideas
aro Injected into tho playlet and it fur
nishes nn excellent vehicle for tlio versa
tility ot Mrs. Nobles. Tho lattor ussumes
tho part oia world-wlso widow and upon
her advice and with her assistance tho wife
of n rather gay club man cures him ef
fectually of his disposition to court favor
with other women. It Is a clean, whole
some comedy, freo from suggestion, nnd
though a trlllo llloglcally constructed In
places Is, withal, pleasing.
It was an easy matter for Jessie Couthoul
to romovo tho prejudice that genernlly ex
ists toward a woman monologuUt. Sho
deftly handled her collection of entertain
ing witticisms and gavo a particularly inter
esting "take-off" on tho female bargain
counter enthusiast.
Sulllclcntly novel to attract moro than
ordinary Interest woro two numbers on the
.bill tho Japanese opercttn by Kckert and
Berg and tho dancing specialty of Miss
Onrl. In tho former tho stago setting was
especially noteworthy, representing n Jap
aneso garden, with Its full ipiota of colored
lanterns. Mr. Eckert lntroducod a number
ot clever representations on tho plnno.
Miss Onrl pai formed her dancing feat upon
a hugo globe, which sho kept In continual
motion whllo engaged In Juggling various
articles. In conclusion sho gave a buttor
lly dance, Which was made decidedly ar
tistic by tho aid of varl-colored lights,
Thu Nellscn Bisters were charming vo
calists, their voices blending harmoniously.
Added to this wns tholr decidedly attractive
stago bearing. Thurston, the card mnulpti
lator. Indulged in several mystifying tricks
with playing cards and gave ether exhi
bitions of Bleglit-of-hand. Morrlsscy and
Rich roundod out tho bill with a comedy
sketch, without which no vaudeville- pro
gram would bo complete.
"VHdlllulil III CIlllllltlMTIl"
Melodrama, no matter how Improbable It
may bo, or how badly It may lio staged, Is
always suro of a liberal patronage, anil the
proprietors of "Midnight In Chinatown''
have reason to bo thankful that such Is the
case. Wero It othcrwlso, It U moro than
likely that tho piece would havo been pro
duced beforo empty scats Instead of good
sized audlonccs yesterday afternoon and
evening, for thero Is nothing In It, from
beginning to end, that is worthy of bolng
serlously considered. Tho dlaloguo Is moro
than usually pointless, the sltuntlons Im- !
possible except In melodrama and the pco- ,
plo ongngod in Its production rnther belotv j
meuiocniy, ii may uu iui iuu iuiui uid
trlcts, whero a play Is held to be good or
bad according to tho amount ot nolso that
can bo evoked during the performance, but
It Is quite unworthy of a hearing on the
stago of a theater like Boyd's.
DR. KARL CONNELL'S SUCCESS
Oniiihii Hoy AVI ii n IIIkIi tlnnorn In a
Competition in New
York.
Tho result of tho competitive examinations
for hospital positions, which recently took
placo in New York City, Is another evidence
that representatives of Nebraska do not
travel in the rear of tho procession. For
the four nppolntmcnts In tho Now York hos
pital for 1800 there wero upwards of sixty
applicant representing Columbia college.
Johns Hopkins university, Harvard and Yale.
A representative of Columbia, who Is an
Omnha -boy, Karl A. Council, not only se
cured one of tho much coveted positions,
but passed tho highest examination of nil
tho applicants and thereby received first
honors and became entitled to first cholco
of positions, Tho result causes much satis
faction among his Omaha friends and es
pecially tho faculty of Crelghton college,
whero Karl was a student for two yeurH
btforo entering tha College of Physicians
and Surgeons of New York. Knrl Is a son
of City Attorney Council nnd n graduate of
the Omaha High school. Ho Is remembered
by his associates as one of tho brightest
members of his class. Ho was captain of
the company of cadets who, the year ho
graduated, won the ling lu competitive drill.
When ho went to Now York, nfter two
years study and work In Crelghton college,
ho mado application to outer thu third year
of tho College of Physlclano und Surgeons
and was tho only student from nn outsldo
college who ever succeeded in passing tho
required examination for a third yoar ad
mission. Tho r ecu It wns considered by the
faculty of Crelghton collego not only as a
credit to Karl, but an honor to the-cnltcge
of his homo city. With referenco to hlij,
most recent success Dr. Frederick . Rustlii,
recently of tho Presbyterian hospital ot
Now York, sayo: "It is not only an ostrich
feather In Karl's cap, but an honor und
credit to Omaha."
