reason I cannot tpuclty, I shall give It up
entirely to devote myself wholly lo the
further development of tho wct," said
Colonel W. K. Cody at tho .Merchants' yes
terday nftcrnoon.
Tho colonel arrived In tho morning for
a. short visit here, It helm; his Intention

tho wreck that occurred on the Southern
railway In North Carolina tho night be
fore last weason'H eloalng. The railroad
lino has not settled yet, nor has tho colonel
bocn Informed of tho present status of
the negotiations.
"A singular fart ngaln brought out by
thin accident is that plenty of men arc
wllllni: to bark tho Wild West show who
are reluctant to back tho wild west Itself,"
declares tho colonel. "Kstitcrn people are
1.1111 doubting Tlinniasif. They would
rather put their money Into forty square
feet of Now York City real estate than
Into forty square acres of good western
farm land. Farmers back there on some
of tho worn out soil will spend JS and even
$12 per acre for a year's fertilizing when
tho samo nmount would buy the land out

"It Is partly to make those easterners
fion thlngH In a tiew and better light that
1 have been taking them west so fre
quently on hunting trips. Onci- they are
out w(t all I have to do Is to answer
questions. Tho west talks for Itself. This
last party that has Just been nut with
mo was made up of fourteen men and live
ef them Invested before they went home.
1 can get more of them out there now that
tho Ilurllugton la building up Into thu
liaaln, for the 100-mllo ride overland In
winter used to scare them out, and I
couldn't get away to take them In the sum
siiwr time. Some day I am going to do
nothing but entertain In the west, and they
can come any time.
"Tho Hough Hlders' school that I am
establishing out at Cody, and that will be
Heady for Its students next May, Is pro.
jectcd partly to boom tho west. I figure
that young men coming from eastern col
leges, and with wealthy parents from whom
to receive or Inherit starting capital when
they need It, can be shown tho now coun
try in such a way that thoy will become
enamored of It and place their money there
when they aro ready to tnrt their business
careers.
"To begin with, however, I am going to
teach them some things not In tho books.
For Instance, they will have to saddle and
earn for their own horses, hunt nlono and
butcher their own gamo before bringing It
In, acquire proficiency In target shooting
In fact, I want that school to turn out COO
men who could, If neccasary, whip nny
other K00 men on Cod's erven earth pitted
ugalnst them In battle. They may become
no more protlcleut In fancy drilling than
many foreigners, but remember that the
American volunteer Is a soldier of Inge
nuity and Individuality, nnd because of this
Is without a peer. It Is this rcsourceful
Dcsh of his that f am banking on In my
tiroiulscs for the school.
Sellout of .Vntiirp.
"Hut roughing It Is not nil a young man
needs, and there will bo professors of such
sciences ,ih have practical application In tho
vest. In 1870, General Sheridan, who was
then In command of thu United States army,
directed me to Conduct through the Had
Lands an expedition of students under l'rof.
Marsh of Yale and others. They spent their
tlmo hunting and discussing fossils and pe
culiar earth formations. At first, I thought
thosn professors were talking through their
hats, but beforo we returned I had learned
more of nature's past freaks than I ever
know before, and had also acquired knowl
edge of tho conditions then prevnlllng. It
wub right then that I got tho Idea of n
western school of nature, combining techni
cal and practical Instruction and that Idea
Is finally tnklng form."
Colonel Cody has always been a friend of
Omaha and apparently remains so, for ho
said:
"Tho development nnd progress of this
city simply cannot be stopped. Its period
of depression was only tho natural result
of Its having advanced too fast for tho ter
ritory tributary to It. When routing my
nhow I Uguro on tho population of each
town and also on tho population of tho ter
ritory around It from which I will be able
to draw crowds. If thero aro not enough
people In tho town nnd tho country I wnlt
until tho nno gross and tho other Is moro
thickly settled. Tho city of Omaha should
ulwayB apply the samo principle to the ex
tont of never striding beyond Us tributary
territory. That territory, however, will sot
a lively pacu from now on. Thero Is about
to begin tho greatest Immigration Into the
sow west from the worn out and congested
cast, that tho people havo ever known, nnd
Omaha Is going to bo tho feeder for the
n-cst and tho northwest. Threo of tho
Ave storcii In Cody buy every bit of their
uppllrs and stocks of wholesalers here
ml when I started an agent to lira ml Hap
Ids, Mich., to get a peculiar style of fur
nlturo that I wanted for a now house out
thero and for tho hotel, ho got only as far
s Omaha, wiring mo that, dealers Here hail
hat I wanted and nt a price Hint, figuring
freight, made it cheaper than to buy at the
Michigan factories. Of course, I bought
bora and that lncidont, while small, Is tho
key to thu whole situation. Tho only thing
tot Omaha to figure on is tho futuro set
tlfflB up of tho territory wost."

MODJESKA'S ACT0F CHARITY
llriiefaellon to OrHiwt (irlmlrr Itonsra
Itrnfhf tiirnt of Tired Trov
rltiiK .Men.
Prompted by the generous and tender
sympathy that has been one factor In en
dearing her to tho American people,
Madame Modjeska, while In Omaha on her
recent visit, did an act of charity that has
resulted unexpectedly and undesirably for a
local hotel.
Sho occupied a room on the north aid",
and looking out of her window one bitterly
cold nftcrnoon she noticed a street musi
cian on the pavement below laboriously en
deavoring to coax melody from a hand
organ and money from the public purse.
She called tho porter, who says that tears
were streaming from her eyes when he en
tered tho room.
"Look! Look! The poor creature!" sho
exclaimed, and the moment the porter had
raised the sash she threw nut n handful of
small coin. Tho next afternoon the musi
cian was In the samo place and madame's
purse was again emptied of Its nickels and
dimes for him.
Sunday the nctrcsa left, but the musician
didn't. He had found a good thing nnd
was willing to stay by It. Ho didn't
know who the woman of the open hand
might be, but he knew she was of rare
variety and he was willing to give her tho
worth of her money. In fact he played
under that same window every afternoon
until last Saturday, when grief overtook
him.
Up In the room over that which Modjeska
had occupied was a traveling man who had
been long on the road and short on sleep.
As no merchants could ho seen Saturday
.he prepared for a nnp. Just as he had
t-trctched' himself out nnd let his eyelids
droop thero was wafted up to him the
strains of Wagner's "Ragtime Liz." Thu
traveling man sat up In bed nnd raid
well, It renlly Isn't necessary to print nil
he did say. When tho Wagnerian selection
'was brought to a wild and wonderful termi
nation thero followed Ilcethoven's "African
Hotfoot" nnd somethlnc in mnjor H from
Charles K. Harris, each driving the travel
ing man a llttlo nearer tho point of despera
tion. Finally the organist start)! "A Hot
Time" nnd tho climax came! Or, rather,
tho climax fell. It wai n water pitcher,
and tho organist has gone out of business
for nn Indefinite period.
Amusements
lloj it'll,
"Rudolph and Adolph," on tho bills as
a farclnl melange, was given two perform
ances at tho lloyd yesterday. Its author
naively announces In n program fnot-noto
that the play was not written to elevate tho
stage, but to drive away tho blues. In thu
latter effort he has with tho help of Mason
and .Mason been successful as It Is nlmost
a prolonged laugh from Btart to finish. Tho
foundation of tho piece Is tho old mistaken
Identity Idea. Two eccentric Germans so
much alike In faco and flguro that their
own wives nro unable to distinguish them
npnrt, cause nil of the funny complications.
In his treatment of tho pleco its author
has followed the lines on which such ac
cepted farces as "What Happened to Jones"
and others of Its typo are written.
Charles Mason, seen hero with "Who Is
Who" and Ward and Vokes, and Dan Ma
son, late with Willie Collier and "Naughty
Anthony," enact tho roles of tho two ec
centric Germans. Doth havo good singing
voices nnd acrobatic Ilavarian dialects.
Lottie Wllllnms-Salter, who has the part
of Anna Gilbert, a soubrette, sings a coster
song In tho difficult Cockney dialect that
wins much favor with the audience. Nu
merous other praiseworthy specialties are
introduced throughout tho piece.
Tho engagement closes with tonight's per
formance. OrpliPiini.
In mnrked contrast with Its predecessors
this searvn, tho week's vnudevlllp bill glvon
Its Inltlnl presentation nt tho Orphoum
Sunday afternoon serves to Introduce nl
most nn entirely now list of acts to tho
patrons of this theater. Of the six num
bers that go to make up tho program only
ono hna been seen hero before, this being
the always popular and over wplcomo fun
maker, Kdillo Olrard of "Natural Gas"
fame and his talented and swect-volccd
partner,' Jessie Gardner. Their specialty,
"Tho Soubrotto and Cop," Is tho samo as
that In which thoy appeared hero a year
ugo, but Is nono tho less Interesting, since
new songs nnd Jokes havo been Interpolated
Into It. Glrnrd Is still as light on his foot
as over, his clover dancing being ono of the
features of tho act. HIh baboon Imitation,
with which he made theater-goers laugh
years ago, Is still forthcoming and threw
Sundny'H nudlcnces Into convulsions of
Inughter.
The Kaufman bicyclists nro without a
doubt tho most expert performers In their
lino that ever camo this way. Their net Is

In Its conception numbers of difficult evolu
tions nro accomplished without a skip or
break. Four men and two women consti
tute tho troupe.
Tho Onllnws offer a clover specialty, In
which some seemingly Impossible feats nro
accomplished on tho slack wiro by the
fomlnlnu members of tho trio. Hnnk Whit-
comb does Imitations of birds and beasts
that are well nigh perfect. His net. how
ever, lacks finish. Proporly put togother, it
would creato again bh much Interest as It
does. Tho Leslies, musical comlqueti, and
Annette Moore, vocalist, complete a praise
worthy bill.

MIiii'o'm Troriiilt'ro,
Two very Inrgo crowds attended tho opon
Ing of tho Utopian Durlesqucrs nt tho Troc
adoro yesterday, matlneo nnd night. Tho
Utopians' opening burlesque, " There's
Something Doing," wnrrnnts tho assertion
that It is a laugh from beginning to end.
It Is a nonsensical hodge podgo of tuueful
songs, clover dancing and stage evolu
tions, bringing tho entlro company before
tho nudlence. The program closes with a
clover conceit cnlled "Tho Coming Cham
pion," in which frequent comical allusions
aro mado to tho champion who appeared
at tho Trocadero Saturday night. Tho
Utopians will give two performances dally,
with tho exception of Saturday, the engage

micm.
Pome of tho city officials, Including Mayor
Kelly, seem to think that City Treasurer
Frank Koutsky Is reaping a benefit from
the city money on deposit In the threo na
tional banks In South Omnha. The impres
sion prevails among these people that tho
banks nro paying Mr. Koutsky Interest on
dally balances. Such Is not the case. At
tho conclusion of Mr. llroadwell's term as
city treasurer tho banks gave out the state
ment that hereafter no moro Interest would
be paid on the treasurer's dally balances.
Tho reason for this was that the city's bal
ances were lnrgest In tho spring when
money wbb plenty nnd the funds were ex
hausted along in tho fall and during tho
early winter months when money Is sup
posed to be scarce.
One of tho prominent bankers of South
Omaha said yesterday that for months past,
In fact during Mr. KoutBky's term of olflee,
no Interest on dally balances had been paid.
When Mr. Koutsky wns called upon In re
lation to this matter he stated to n Uee
representative thnt nono of the banks bad
paid Interest on dully balances during his
term of oHlcc. although he understood that
it was formerly tho custom. "Any Interest
accruing from city money." said Mr.
Koutsky, "will be turned Into the trensury,
but up to the present tlmo the banks are
not paying any Interest on city money
placed on deposit."
In connection with this matter Mr.
Koutsky has suggested to Mayor Kelly the
advisability of sending the flnnnce commit
tee of thy council to the various banks to
substantiate his statement that no Interest
Is paid on dally balances.
A Library .Site.
Since announcement wns mado In Sun
day's pnpers thnt the council would at Its
meeting tonight listen to the rending of nn
ordinance creating a library board, thero
has ben considerable speculation as to the
site to bo selected. In this tho board will
havo to deal with a number of factions,
as some wnnt tho proposed building located
south of N street, whllo others contend that
It should bo somewhere In tho neighbor
hood of the proposed High school. One dis
interested party suggested tho northwest
corner of Twenty-fourth and J streets, pro
viding tho property could be secured. An
other thinks thnt Twenty-fifth nnd M
streets Is nbout tho right place, whllo others
say that Twenty-fourth nnd O streets
should be chosen. Tho board, when organ
ized, will advertise for bids and of course
tho prlco to bo paid will have a great deal
to do with the selection. Not moro than
$3,000 can be expended for n site.
SiivIiik llrllmiiir nt Intermt.
This week will bo a busy ono In tho offlce
of tho city treasurer, as It Is expected thnt
the packers nnd stock yards company nnd
other corporations will pay tho 1901 tax In
order to avoid the 1 per cent per month
Interest, which commences to nccumulato
on January 1.
As soon ns tho yenr'a business Is settled
up, which will be about tho mlddlo of Janu
ary, tho city treasurer will Issue a call for
outstanding warrants and this call will, It
Is stated, Include all of the 1901 overlap
warrants.

Tho lovo of the shapes and forms of a
century ago has been but half satisfied by
tho rickety old furnlturo In tho second-hnnd
shops. It delights tho eye, but cannot bo
commonly used on account of Its decrepi
tude. This yenr wo havo made sorao perfect re
productions of tho more famous Colonial
plccea, accurately preserving their every
detail, even to tho nutlquo coloring of tho
wood.
Hero, for example, nro some old flag bot
tomed dining chairs, which not only dollght
tho eyo, but they can bo used by tho present
generation Thoy nro moro comfortable
thnn nny modern frnmeH, and tho cost 1
about half tho prlco charged for rickety
"antiques."
Thero can be no pride or sentiment surely
In tho ownership of the nnttquatcd furnl
turo of some ono nlso's family. Its only
vnlue Is Its historic shape, nnd this Is far
better reflected In our exact copies of fa
mous originals
