that It was unlikely that such serious losses
as those reported could have been inflicted
' by ordinary fire.
The Orel and Borodino are of 13,61 tons

Inch guns In a turret protected by eleven
Inches of Krupp armor. Another pair of

are thirty other guna of the Intermediate

A special feature of the vessela la their

Advices from a reliable fiuarter received

several colliers were off Shanghai Friday.
It Is believed that' Vice Admiral Rojest

of Shanghai In order to induce the belief
that hia main fleet Was there while the
major portion of it pushed on toward the

the analyaia of the famous fchemista of the

All the thin rolled flake foods are made
by soaking the grains of wheat or oata in

Contraated with thla pretenae, observe
the care,, method and skill In making
Grape-Nuta.
The barley is Soaked about 100 houra, then
It la slowly warded for aoma daya and

long cooking at certain temperatures. Then
the rock-hard alrc.es. are each one carefully

When finished, each little granule will

take or elnk the ahlp. Such an Incident la
unfortunate, but every naval officer must

The Temps paya a glowing tribute to
Admiral Rojestvensky'a skill In preparing
his siiuadrons for the final encounter, and
to hia auduclty In taking the route where
the Japanese were atrongest.
The Echo de Paris' St. Petersburg corre
spondent Says a letter has been received

weeks ago, in which the admiral said he
desired to reach Vladivostok without a
combat, if possible, but that he would do

A number of telegrama have been received

(Frbm a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May 2S.-(Spec1al.)-The First
district haa all the politics demanded by Its
active politicians for the next few das.
The certainty that Jurtgu Holmes, the I.an
caster county candidate for the republican
nomination, would secure the place seems
to have vanished, although he is still ac
counted a very strong candidate because
of the enormous numerical preponderance
of this county Recently there have been
reports that Hayward of Otoe county would
assist Holmes to secure the nomination.
Hayward Is accounted a Union Pacific ad
herent and It la claimed that the political
managers of that road would assist the
Lancaster county man through the use of
the Otoe county delegation In order to
reward him for having interfered with the
plana of J. H. Ager to nominate former
Speaker Paul Clark.
On the other hand, there are reports of
a combination among the other counties
of tha district to nominate Hayward, this
being the method the opposition to Holmes
will employ to keep him from securing the
honor. Political observers insist that it
Is the Imminence of a tietip between
Holmes and Hayward to the advantage of
the, former, which has led the opponents
of the Lancaster county candidate to make
tempting overtures to the Otoe county
nian. Otoe and Lancaster can nominate,
but Without T.nncnfitn. ft will talrA a. Iaco
j five of the seven counties In the district
to rorm a successful combination, providing
It Includes Otoe and Cass countiea. There
ia considerable talk of some effort to take
Cosa county from Pollard, who is accounted
an independent and would probably not en
ter Into any deal, and to give It to Repre
eentatlve R. B. Windham.
Eftch of the seven counties haa a candi
date to go 'Into the convention to be held
June 1 at Falla City, and all are actively
at work seeking support. Holmes Is doing
systematlo work all over the district, but
A. B. Allen, private secretary to the gov
ernor; Representative Wilson of Pawnee,
Hayward and Pollard are all doing active
work. County Attorney Ncal of Nemaha
county, who worsted Tom Majors in the
conteat for the county delegation, Satur
day, Is not regarded aa an active condl-'
date, and It la claimed that C. F. Reavla
of Richardson, who has been permitted
to choose his own delegation, is holding
it for some friend. The defeat of Tom
Majors' aspirations for the Nemaha dele
gations has been anticipated for some time,
since Neal has the backing of the Church
Howe faction, which engineered the defeat
of, Majora In the senatorial prlmariea last
summer, when Senator Good won his spurs
and laid the foundation for his candidacy
to succeed State Treasurer Mortensen.

A battalion of foresters, headed by the
Woodmen band, will march to the cemetery
to decorate the graves. The membera of

He suld In part:
Life Is a pursle men have sought In vain

AT THE PLAY HOUSES
Ferrla Stork Company at th Boyd.
The Ferrla Summer Stock company opened
Ita third week at the Boyd theater with
a play quite well suited to the strength
of the company, and one of much Interest
to the patrons, "The Danltra." Many
years have elapsed since McKee Rankin
and wife male us acqualuted with th
beauties of thla strong picture of life in
the west of nearly half a century ago, as
drawn by Bret Harte, who was an observer
and almost a participant In some of th
stirring events of that time. Very few
of the present generation recall the Danltes
as anything but a myth, but to the people
of those times, who sought to cross th
"promised land," they were a stern reality.
Harte threw up Into high relief some of
the Incidents, and made a really strong
play out of them. It Is of value aa giving
a close view of a phase of life that haa
vanished from America. Two audience
that tested the capacity of the theater
witnessed the performances, and grew very
enthusiastic over the play and the players.
Mlsa Pavey finds the double , role of
Nancy Williams and Billy Piper quite to
her liking, If she appeared winsome In
a garb of that period, the simple gown
and bonnet, what shall be said of her aa a
boyf She certainly looks well In trousers,
and this without appearing masculine,
while she gives a sympathetic and Intelli
gent life to the part. Rose Curry la very
good aa the "Wldder" Brown, and makes
the part a atrong on. Hattle Carmoti
telle is right In her element aa Captain
Tommy, and Miss Rutherford make a
good Bunker Hill. Mr. Dowlan flnda In
the lines of Sandy McGee something that
more nearly aulta him, and gives a much
more satisfactory account of himself than
he has done heretofore. Mr. Barbour's
"Parson" Is a capital piece of acting, and
Mr. McKee docs very well aa "Judge"
Wise. The rest of the cast is well placed
and the setting of the piece Is quite ap
propriate. "The Danltes" will be presented
thla evening and Tuesday evening.
the American achooner Endymlon. A. th
Celtlo approached It It was given a rousing,
salute of cheer and flags and handkor-
I chiefs were waved by the passengers. Th
Endymlon waa passed nt 10:28 a. nv, ships
time, on Wednesday, and was 1,320 miles
front Sandy Hook. The Hamburg, which,
was passed two hours previously, was
1.357 miles from the starting line.
On its arrival tonight tha ateamer Ham
burg, from Hamburg, Dover and Boulogne,
reported three of the yachts In th ocean
race. On May 23. at 10:46 a. m.. In lati
tude 46:OS, longitude 32:4, tt two-masted,

be the Hamburg, waa sighted. On May 24,
at 4:10 p. m, in latitude 43:08. longitude
42:21, a two-masted achooner yacht with

! Toara" at the Kruig.
Melbourne MacDowell began his second
week of effort at the Krug yesterday, this
time offering "La Tosca." I'p to
date he has been unable to overturn the
original plan of Sardoir and make the
man the start part. Sardou's dramas were
written for a woman, and the men are all
subsidiary, and Mr. MacDowell's best en
deavors are hardly sufficient to reverse
this order. He makes Baron Scarpia a
very monster of cruelty and duplicity, of
low cunning and open treachery, and omlta
entirely the little touches of refinemen
by which other and greater actors have
glossed the baron's actions. Instead of
making him appear the polished gentleman
who is driven to these extreme measures
by the exigencies of his profession and
the political necessities of the crown he
Is serving, MacDowell makes him appear
to take real satisfaction in his deviltry
his cry of triumph, at the climax of the
third act, Is the -Joyous yelp of a monster
who has feasted on human suffering, and
not the conscientious utterances of a min
ister of the law who feels he has done
his duty. In his scene with Ia Tosca In
the fourth act, where the woman gets her
chance, he Is the libertine In the grossest
form. All in all, Mr. MacDowell seems
able merely to emphasize the unpleasant
aide of Scarpia, without lending It a scln
tllla of the elegance that is the only re
deeming feature of the part.
MIsb Fuller Is even better aa La Tosca
than aa Cleopatra. In this character not
bo much Is demanded of her voice, and its
limitations more nearly fit with the re
quIrementB of the role. She haa the true
perspective, and very accurately values
tho situations. In the earlier scenes she is
life and vivacity, with her peculiar whim
aicallty that is a part and parcel of the
character, and In the third and fourth acts
she very nearly approachea greatness. She
seems to feel all the storm and atress of
emotion through which aha passea, and
enacts her part with discriminating taste
and Judgment, so that It rises far above
Its surroundings.
The others in the cast do fairly well
what Is asked of them. The Bettings and
coatumea are appropriate, and the per
formance movea smoothly enough. "La
Tosca" will be on all week, with an extra
matinee on Tuesday and the regular
matinees on Wednesday and' Saturday. It
was witnessed by two very large and very
well pleased audiences yesterday.
