As it is to be produced under the personal direction of the author. Mr. Sedley Brown, a fault less production is assured Tlfe "ColoneL's Wives" is said to possess all the humor and brilliancyof "Too Much Johnson," "Jane," and "Charley's Aunt" combined, v the plot is more feasible than- that of either of the afore-mentio'ried "care-dispellejrs." The whoiestory is based on strictly original'and reasonable lines, which cannot be said of many, .of the comedy suc cesses of to-day. The humor is of the spontaneous sort and the situa tions something to afford laughter for weeks to come. The storv in brief is as follows: An old friend of Colonel Mc Veigh's, on his death bed, request's that the Colonel marry his daughter Marjority, the Colonel's junior by many years. Th&: young - lady acquiesces with, the understanding that they go abroad and remain a year passing as father and daughr ter and that their relations shall be such. Tins the Colonel consents to and his real trouble begin. Mar jory, being both young and beauti ful, is soon surrounded by suitors, among the number being three coL lege students. For a lark she en courages their suit and promises to marry each of them providing they obtain her "father's" consent. The interviews between the young men and the supposed father supplies the first net work ot many compli cations wich follow. The Colonel, surmising that his 3'oung wife is endeavoring to have some fun at his expense, gives her hand to each of the young men, in fact, promis ing her to the stuttering student before-ttfelatte&can open his mouth kno.wnfrthe,iobiect -; bh his visit. StinMiexloesnot- apbroyefof? Marjory's conduct and to make her jealous gets up a violent flirtation with Mrs. Honeybee, who is "fat, fair and funny," and who is assidu ously laboring to reduce he avoird upois by the aid of dumb-bells and out-door exercises. In' the mean time, Ferrette, a female detective has appeared upon the scene. in search of a man and wife who are confidence operators and who are known to be passing themselves off as father and daughter. She learns of the Colonel's secret marriage and prepares to catch her game. To add to the complications which are now arising fast and furiously, the Colonel'sjirst wile, who is supposed to have been lost at sea many years ago, appears. She and Marjory learn that there is a female detect ive in tne liouse ana tuey eacn im agine the other to be" Ferrette and both set to work to obtain advice. They eventually establish their identity and the fun begius in earn est, to the discomfiture of the Col onel. Mrs. Colonel Washington McVeigh No. 1 is anxious to re establish herself as the iron-willed ruler of the McVeigh establishment while wife No. 2, who has met a former lover, Count De Rockford, is equally anxious to relinquish her claim on the unhappy Colonel, but tactly conceals her desires. In a spirit or tun Mariory makes things lively for everybody and the attentions she bestows on the Colonel is "gall and wormwood" to the unexpected visitor from "the bottom of the sea." Ferrette reap pears and arrests Colonel McVeigh, believing him to be a noted confi: dence operator, The Colonel sup poses that he is being arrested tor bigamy and cheerfully submits. He admits that Mrs. McVeigh No. 1 and Rev. Savajre, the minister who performed the ceremony, arc accom plices and they too. are arrested. Matters arcfinslly straightened out and all ends happily, the Colonel and his first wife being reunited and Marjory marrying the Count. This, the funniest of all up-to- comedies, was written especially for Miss Parker, who plays Marjory, by Mr. Sedley Brownand it is prp nounced the best of his many suc cessful plars.

George was passionately fond of all outdoorsports. At school l:e took an active interest in football and all college athletics; at home lie spent much or 111s vacation in huntiug. iroDaDiv it is to too mucn vio lent exercise on the field followed by hard study indoors that not a little of his loss of health is due. On leaving his school last April, where his lovable disposition and generous heart made him a favorite his friends presented him with a number of tokens expressive of their esteem. For a few weeks atter his arrival home, tieorge seemed to be gaining strength, but it proved to be but the common flattery of the dread dis ease from which he suffered.

Then one Beeler spoke to a fast diminishing audience for an hour and a half at the close of which those who had not escaped had gone to sleep. The most notice able thing of the meeting was its being utterly devoid ot enthusiasm. The pops, by their gloomy looks, seemed to read the "hand writing on the wall." Wiggins. HEBEASKA NOTES. W.H.

Valentine Republican. J. G. Hamilton, manager of the Grand Island beet sugar factory, in a recent interview said: "Every one is much interested in beet cul ture, and unquestionably new fac- tories will go up all over the west- era country if a protective policy is adopted by the national govern ment The beet crop is one unat tended by speculative influences; it insures the farmer a good living on the product often, acres of well cultivated beets, it furnishes work for children, and wherever there is a factorv the benefits are far reach ing. It is estimated that a factory the size of those at Grand Island or Norfolk will, with the industries tributary and necessary for its sus- our Great Offering tenance, furnish, a livelihood for about 7,000 souls. This western country is especially adapted to the development of this industry, and, it will not be long before Nebraska will be known as a sugar state as there are millions of dollars await ing for just such an investment" when capital caii feel positively assured that'the product of foreign pauper labor is not to be admitted to this country free, and the sugar trust monopoly is prevented from attempting to destroy and close up the beet sugar factories. The labor mg classes are fast realizing that prosperity always exists when there is plenty of work, and this can only be furnished by the operation of factories, mills and other industrial enterprises." rjlaretta Averv. the 10-vear-old neirrawho is converting so mnnv 1 -' whites and blacks in the South by her magnetic preaching, has pretty eyes and a ready command of pure and elevated language.
