The annual memorial service In Boyd S
unday prtsented the jolly Elka in an
Unuaual poie, with Ink carnations and
luiut black coats, and . the soiemn faces
that go with thoughts of the departed
brother. Jn all the United States wherever
la a loilg of the benevolent and protective
oru.r, the Cmy was observed as a memorial
to the deceased of the society. Every Ulk
almost of No. C ent to Buyd's, and when
the uiTlufltra began a solemn strain the
dim Interior mas tilled.
The ceremony btgan with the Mtu.it for
the event, lead by Exalted Ruler Lulun
C. Olbfton, who called the memoers' atten
tion to the (act that It was a duty to pay
respect to the depurteJ. In the center of
the back drop was hung a frame with the
illuminated Dames of the deceased mem
bers of the lodge. As Secretary Frank A.
Fursy read the roll, the lights went out
one by. one,, and then the whole was Illum
inated with the Elk colors In elcolrlo globes
on the autiers of two Elk head hung at
each aide.
On the flower-decorated stage, among
others, were A. C. Wakelty, Frank 8. How

Enlocy by Frank B. Howell.
Frank 8. Howell, who delivered the first
eulogy, said:
"There is a mythological storv to the
effect that some timo, some place, there
was a race of monkeys whose principal
characteristic was a complete pessimism
for the living and an optimism tor the
dead. The pessimism so pervaded the race
that no good could be seen in the bones
and flesh while they were living and only
when they were laid out In the open, cold
In death, could they see any merit. With
out considering whether or not we be
lieve In the Darwinian theory, we may.
congratulate ourselves pessimism has not
grown so among us that we hav to wait
till death' before we can find anything
to commend. Of l:e of whom It Is said
that he exhibits no fault, I eay that he
is either a fool or a hypocrite whom we
should distrust Elks have faults and good
points also. We are given faults to make
us men and without them part of Qod'a
history could not have been written.
"That we owe encomiums to the dead
should be moved to the exhibition of deep
feeling. The many and varied acta done
while wrestling with the problems of this
life should ; npt bfc"; remembsred.- It has
been the accomplishment of these things
which has made the worker and his
brothers better. What he has done and
what he has been should be linked together
In mem'ot tntenslty of feeling is a grace.
To feel Is a fault only when It subdues the
virtue of the Individual. To weep Is not
to be conquered and a tear at the grave
of a beloved one aoftena and makes pure
the heart, Jesus wept and therein estab
lished .a new epoch. All should Join In a
tribute of a sigh to those who were and
are ao more."
I'focram of SloajlDa;.
An excellent program of appropriate mu
sic waa rendered. All Balnts' church quar
tet, composed of Dan Wheeler, John M.
Guild.' C. 8. Havcrstock and Jules Lum
bard, sang- "The Vacant Chair" and "One
Sweetly, Solemn Thought," and tho Har
mony mixed quartet, of whloh Mrs. C. E.
Squires, Miss Anna Bishop and Dan
Wheeler and Jules Lurabard were mem
bers, gave "Rock of Ages" and "Abide With
Me." Campana's "From the Depths" and
"Jesus, Lover of My Boul" were pleasingly
rendered by Mrs. Myron Smith, and the
theater orchestra .gave several solemn re
lections. The services closed with the
singing of the Doxology. Chaplain Lysis
I. Abbott made the Invocation.
Crawford Reeds for Tboaaasea.
W. H. Thompson of Grand Island was
to have delivered the second eulogy, but
was prevented from coming by the illness
of Mrs. Thompson. Frank Crawford read
his address, from which the following Is
taken:
"If I were to preach a sermon this Bnb
bath morning I would take for my text,
'What come ye out to hear, a reed, shaken
by the wlndT
"Of God'a eternal plan man Is given to
know but little. The philosophers nnd
sages have struggled to learn of Its mys
teries, but to be rewarded by the echoes
of their own fruitless search. They are
to be succeeded by others as the ladened
years have rolled Into eternity. IJke wit
less birds seeking their freedom, they have
beaten their lives out against the window
panes only to be followed by others la their
Impossible, yet ever plausible endeavor.
"As said by Bacon, 'the des.ro for power
In excess caused the angels to fall; the
desire for knowledge In excess caused man
to fall;' but In charity there Is no excess,
neither can angel or man come In danger
of It.
"If more time were rl"'"n In fulfilling
those things revealed tintj us that we
know, end given to us to know, and less
In striving to lesrn the hidden secrets In
time and eternity, that seemingly we are
not to know, the world would be benefited
thereby. Less of theory, more of practice.
Less of looking for duties we know not of,
and more of travel along the highway
plainly marked and to us all dlscernable.
"Thus waa organized the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks, asking not for
powers it had not, but the plain paths of
man's duty to his fellow man. Not in lieu
of a church, yet in aid in Its benevolent
welldoing. Thus we meet today, not In
sorrow, but to cherish and commemorate
the good deeds of our brothers gone before,
remembering ever that a good deed, like
an opening flower, scatters blessings along
the pathway and the giver Is none the
poorer because of the giving. The heart
that beats In love of its fellow men moves
the world of progression and lifts and In
spires In Its moving; the others are but
clogs on the wheels of time. The contrast
serves however a good purpose In rallying
the greater army on the side of duty well
performed, and by It the world grows
better day by day. Bo with the lives of
nations and societies, aa of men, 'To llvo
In the hearts of those we leave behind Is
not to die.' That this Influence may be
for good and .not for evl for happiness, and
not sorrow, is the cherished hope of every
loyal Elk. Believing 'It Is not all of life
to live or all of death to die,' and, with
Milton, 'That death Is the golden key that
opens the palace of eternity.' "

AT THE PLAYHOUSES.
ELLSWORTH COMES CLEAR
Coaacll BlofTs Voani Mao Aeqoltted
of Murdering- David Iloaser
In September.
The Jury In Judge Estelle'a court which
had In hand the case of Charlea Ellsworth,
charged with the murder of David Houser
laat September, after being out over
twenty-four hours, Saturday returned
Verdict of not guilty.. The vote stood nine
for acquittal and .three -for manslaughter
during most of the time the jury was de
liberating on the caae.
Ellsworth Uvea In Council Bluffs. He has
alv.aya resided with his parents, who stand
high In the community, and this waa the
first trouble In which he has been con
cerned. Ellsworth's leputatlon had always
been fair. Houaer and Ellsworth met at
dance at Hill's rohdhouse on the night
the murder occurred. They had been
known to each other before, and Houser,
like Ellsworth, resided In Council Bluffs.
Houser took ofTense at Ellsworth dancing
with a woman with whom- he was ac
quainted, and threatened Ellsworth. Ella-
worth left the roadhouae shortly after
Houser, who had stopped by the roadside
and waited for Ellsworth's team to come
tip. When the horses came alongside of
where he was standing, Houser stepped
out and grabbed them by the heads. Ells
worth leaped out of the buggy and stabbed
him In the ahoulder, severing an artery.
Houser was placed In a single buggy by
Charles Fosdlck, who waa with him at the
time the stabbing occurred, and sent on
with Instructions to secure medical attend
ance as soon as possible-. The reason Fos
dlck did not accompany his friend was
that he waa with a woman who fainted
when the stabbing occurred, and he re
mained by the roadside to try and revive
her. After the woman came to, she and
Foedlck started on foot to Omaha. When
they reached the Missouri Pacific viaduct
on Sherman avenue they saw the buggy,
wtth Houser lying In the bottom, standing
by the side of the road. Foedlck ran for-
waid and found that Houaer was uncon
scious from the loss of blood. He jumped
In and drove the rig to the office of Dr.
Hobbs, on Sherman avenue. Houser died
about two minutes after being carried into
the office.
Ellsworth never denied that he delivered
the blow which killed Houaer, but said
that be did It In self-defense. He was ar
rested In Council Bluffs when he drove into
the livery barn where he had hired the rig,
about three hours after the atabblng oc
curred, and while coming to Omaha with
Captain Moatyn told the whole story of
the affair.
After the verdict was rendered Ellsworth
thanked each member of the jury and
passed out of the court room.

Tremendous lathe word to fit the two
audience that gave "The Chaperona" an
enthusiastic reception at the Krug. The
offering aeemed to have all the drawing
qualities of a first production. It waa seen
here last winter for the first time with a
cast to which only a few important changes
have been made. So great was the crowd
that wished to see the show yesterday
afternoon that the police deemed It neces
sary to issue sn order forbidding the fur
ther sale of standing room.
"The Chaperona" has always been pop
ular. The lines are bright, generally funny I
and sometimes cross the line of demarca
tion Into the wit classification. Pretty
music has been provided and there is con
siderable novelty in some of the roles.
Distribution of the work allotted to the
members of the company waa made with
a fair hand, with the happy result of per
mitting no single actor to become monoto
nous. The chorus Is pretty and well
dressed and sings vivaciously.
Miss Mabel Hlte, as Phrosla, the girl
detective, scored heavily In a part created
by Eva Tanquay. Miss Hlte has not the
physical qualifications to make Phrosla
quite such a voltaic "small bunch of nerv
ousness" as did Miss Tanquay, but she
succeeds by more subtle methods. The
audience by repeated encores manifested its
appreciation.
As Algernon O'Bhaunnesy, John G. Bparks
simulates a very funny Irishman, one
whose brogue and Incidental "business" are
delectable. He, Harry Ladell and Thomas
Whlffen, are the new faces In the cast
Ladell, aa Schnitzel, the bill poster, and
Oscar Ragland, as the valet, composed a
long and short pair that caught the pleas
ant fancy of the bouse, while Thomas
Whlffen cared for the part of Adam Hogg
well without marked Individuality.
Miss Day's beautiful voice was displayed
to advantage in three songs. May Boley,
as the head chaperon, exhibits engaging
mannerisms, a very attractive presence and
not a little capacity for comedy. Both
women were greeted as old friends. Mr.
Earnest and the men of the chorus made
a hit with the "We re All Good Fellows"
song and Mr. Struns' heavy bass voice
plessed whenever heard.
Altogether, the opera Is well cared for
musically and the most made of every
comlo situation.
BURLINGTON'S DOUBLE TRACK
Line Templet from Caleaaro to Re4
Oak aael Beta feed Every
. Day.
Only about fifty mlies remain of single
track betweon the Vilaaouri river and Chi
cago ou the Aun.nglon ale in. 'i'ne uou
bl track whlcn has beeu under ooiuttruu
tiou tor some time hus been completed as
far aa fteu Oak, la. The Chicago-Omaha
trains are now running over tue Uouule
track from Chicago to Red Oak, and It la
expected that the track will be completed
to tho Missouri river early In the spring.
Part of the work on thla section la already
done.
The trains running betwtea Red Oak and
Chicago are being operated by the block
aysiem and without train ordera, the Bur
lingiou Lelng the Brat road la the weet to
lnaiall this system, which goes a long way
towards preventing wrecks.
By the building of the double tracks
grades and cu.ves have been eliminated
so far as possible. It Is thought that when
the sysluoi Is entirely double tracked be
tweeo Chicago and the river It will be the
cause of quite a reduction In the running
time of paaaenger trains. The trains will
be able to run at much greater speed when
the danger of oolllslon I eliminated by
the block system and the added safety of
having all train on the same track run
nlng in the saw direction. The Drat re
duction In time will be made In the mall
train service and gradually the running
Urn. other Iraloa IU be reduued
Voadevllle at tho Cretarhton-Orpheam.
It certainly Is a good show at the
Orpheum this week; just a genuine vaude
ville bill, wtth lots of occasion for laughter
and very little If any for thought. It con
tains what ordinarily constitute the ele
ments of popularity In the line, and If the
applause snd laughter of two large- audi
ences yesterday is a safe guide for opinion,
it has made good for Omaha., Lloyd and
Lllyan open the bill wtth a nondeacrlpt
combination of foolery and burlesque, and
start the laughter that keeps coming right
along. Leah Russell Isn't so very much
when It comes to dialect, but she tells her
stories well and sings much better, and
delights the people with a most winsome
smile. She Is a distinct hit. The 8a Vans
mix athletics and comedy In a unique and
original way, and prove themselves among
the beat of entertainers seen at the Or
pheum this season." Max Waldon, the
female Impersonator, is clever without be.
Ing grotesque, and won much applause last
night by hla characterisation of various
feminine characters, closing with an Imi
tation of a premier danseuse so good that
It wouldn't have been an Imitation at all
but for the fact that It waa a man doing It
Kelly and Vlolette come back with new
songs and some stunning new gowns for
the Vlolette half of the partnership, and
were enthusiastically received by the audi
ence. Fred Stuber proved that a lot of
mighty good music lurks in a banjo by
extracting a large quantity, thereby win
nlng much audible commendation. Gol
man's dogs and cats comprise about the
merriest troupe of four-footed entertainers
ever seen In Omaha, and accomplish a num
ber of difficult and some really amusing
feats. This feature of the bill ought to
prove Immensely popular among the
younger' patrons of the Orpheum. The
klnodrome has some new and good pic
tures, one panorama of travel In the Ca
nadlan Rockies being splendid.
Horrmaaa tho Great at tho Boyd.
Herrmann the Great Is still entitled to Ms
peculiar style of title, for he Is certainly
great in his line. Of course each and every
one of those who watch him realizes that
a trick Is concealed behind each and every
one of the feats that are so mystifying
but the trick Is performed with such con.
summate grace and skill as to command
applause and wonderment. "ZIs leetle ex-
per-r-lment," aa the wtaard announcea It
may be one thing and It may be another,
but It la always interesting and always
well done, and a number of them are of
the sort that would have earned the doer
wide berth If nothing more a couple of
centuries ago. Hla Illusions this season
are new. For the first he poses a bride
In front of a mirror, conceals her for an
Instant with a wicker cover, removes the
cover, and the bride has' vanished. In the
second he places a young woman In
cylinder covered with tissue paper, sets
the paper on fire, and as it burns the young
woman vanishes. Some old and aome hew
tricks of legerdemain are Introduced, and
some very graceful feats of palming ara
skilfully accomplished. The Laskys, who
play military music on trumpets, bugles
and cornets, are an attractive feature of
the entertainment. Two large audiences
were preaent at the Boyd to watch the
wizard at hla work yeaterday.

CHICAGO MEETING FACTOR IN THIS LINE
eaveatloa Will Be Held la Omaha
Neat Febraary to Complete
Orsjaalsatloa ot tho New
Assoelatloa.
L. B. Day, a prominent and well-known
farmer of Albion, Boone county. Neb., was
In the city last evening, a guest at the
Merchants hotel, on his return from Chi
cago, where he had been attending the
meeting of the Farmers' Mutual aasocla-
tlon, as the delegate from Nebraska, com
missioned to that . meeting by Governor
Mickey. Regarding the purposes and ob
jects of the meeting, Mr. Day said:
The meeting was held at Chicago and
should not be confused with any farmers'
grange or alliance movement. Its purpose
was to consider the expediency of organis
ing the Farmers' Mutual association, with
the view of permitting the practical farm
ers and grain growers of the country to
participate in the control of the products
of their farms, and particularly of the
small grains.
Representatives were present from fifteen
of the western states and the meeting was
throughout a most Interesting and profit
able one. In brief it was to discuss the pos
sibility of securing some relief from the
exactions of the line or syndicate elevator
companlea and to adopt measures more In
conformity with the law of supply and de
mand In the matter of grain markets, ship
ments and prices. It Is not antagonistic to
the question of middlemen, but rather to
permit the gralnralser to come closer in
contact with the consumer. The proposi
tion then Is to erect our own elevators and
enter Into active competition with the line
elevators In the handling and shipment ot
grain. We reoognize our obligation to the
railroads and nothing In the movement
should be considered aa antagonistic to
them.
Flan of Aetloa. "
"What we propose to do Is to erect local
elevators In all the grain growing dis
tricts, a..d terminal elevators at Omaha,
Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago. The
association Is to be Incorporated under the
South Dakota laws, for $50,000,000 capitalisa
tionwith ahares at $10 each. No one mem
ber will be permitted to acquire more than
M0 shares. The first of the terminal ele
vators will be built at Omaha. The per
manent organization has not yet been af
fected, but will be at a meeting ot the asso
ciation to be held In Omaha on the second
Tuesday In February. Delegates will be
present at this convention from twenty
states, Including delegates from the coun
ties of the several states, which Insures one
f the largest and most important conven
tions ever held in Omaha. There Is noth
ing secret or political in the proposed or
ganization.
We will endeavor to secure locations
for our local elevators ' on the railroad
right-of-way, otherwise will purchase sites
for them rear the railways. We will enter
Into fair and honorable competition with
the line elevators, and should any one of
our members be enabled to get a better
price for his grain at a line elevator than
at an association elevator he in perfectly
free to do so." '-

TO MAKE IT,' ONE COMPANY
Romored Plan .ml Northwester a .to
Assarae AnsolTarto Control of
Omaha Road.
A report is current to the effect that the
Northwestern is about to take absolute
control of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minne
apolis & Omaha railway. The "Omaht'
has long been controlled by the North
western but has always been operated as
a separate property. It Is now believed
that the time Is near when it will bo taken
over and will become a part of the train
system, the same as the Fremont, Elkhorn
ds Missouri Valley was a short time ago.
In case the report Is true, the acquis!
tion of the "Omaha" road will add to the
total mileage of the Northwestern 1.87S
miles, making the total mileage of the
system 1,673 miles Instead of 7,358. The
local officials of the Northwestern admit
having heard the report, but plead Ignor
ance of Its authenticity. For a number of
years the same Interests have practically
dominated both lines, and It Is understood
that of late some of the stock has changed
hands and that the "Omaha," by the
transfer, has been brought a little closer
to the main system. It Is thought If the
two systems are consolidated that in the
Interest of economy, many of the depart
menta of the "Omaha" will be merged wtth
those of the Northwestern.

Bride to Be Jantp tho
Coatract.
William Enderby, who I an employe
of a South Omaha house, drew a
board from an aunt of Miss Green at 8231
Maple avenue In Bt. Louis. Miss Green
also happened to be there. Possibly It was
a dull time with her, or Enderby waa un
usually attractive, for In a short time they
were engaged. But, as they say In Bulu,
"It didn't take." The two drove to Clay
ton Saturday and went through the neces
sary formalities. They made a date with
the minister to deliver a ceremony at the
aunt's home that evening. On the way
home Miss Oreen stopped off at the house
of a friend. Love's young dream had
begun to sit up and yawn. Bo she trotted
off to the dance, where the other man
might be found, leaving the aunt and poor
Mr. Enderby to scratch varnish nervously
from the chair leg In the front parlor and
to wonder who bad mislaid the bride.
Later they called Mlas Oreen' hand at
the ball, and she saw them, antylng the
ring, while aunty looked on embarrassed
at the game.
Enderby went away out Into the world.
Miss Oreen said she was glad. Enderby,
she is thought to think, fled to his job In
prise cold storage mitten recently In St
Louis, where he supposed that he was going
through the formalities precedent to
wedding. From report It would seem that
he wa wrong.
Tho party of the second part In the mat
rtmonlal contract was to have been Mlsa
Alice Qreim of Pacific, Mo., but after filter
ing out well trained "yes." helping to pur
chase the wedding ring, naming tho hour
and going shopping for a license she later
put on a different mind, and a pink silk
gown, and went to a ball at Wells ton, where
be had a presentment that she would meet
another ot her fiances. Mis Oreen, who 1
17 year young, now deposes, according to
report, and says that she Is engaged to one
man In Bt. James and another In Paolflo
and other men In other places, not counting
discarded ones. The list reads like a rail
way guide to the state of Missouri.
Mr, Enderby Is a railway man and re
cently came from New York and accepted
Omaha, where he could drive away vain
regret with work and the buxom air of the
packing center.

Hugh Chittlck. live stock agent of the Ne
braska db Wyoming division of the North
western, returned from a western trip Bun-
day. Mr. Chlttlok reports that the ranges
are In first-class condition and that cattle
are doing well. Me say, however, that more
now would be a good thing on tho rangea,
an the water frteses during the cold
weather, and when there Is no snow It 1
almost Impossible for the cattle to get
water. Owing to the low price . which
shipper have realised for their cattle when
sending them to market thla year a large
number of cattle ha been held back and
will be run through the winter by ranch
men. Some owners who had money bor
rowed on their herd and were conse
quently forced to ship In order to meet
their obligation have fared quite badly
during the past year, but those who are
able to carry their cattle over until next
year In the hopes of a better market have
not been hurt very much by the decline In
price o far. Mr. Chittlck think that It
the market strengthen up by next fall the
cattlemen of the wot will be prosperous.
