THE "COLOITEL'S "WTVZS."
-Brown's Brilliant Comedy to be Qivea
Lloyd's next Wednesday XveaiBg.
at
The Coloners Wives," which is
to be presented next Wednesday
evening; Oct. 30th, by Mr. JSedley
Brovvn's Tdeal5 Compawrr direction
of Mr. Gustave Ffohman, is con
ceded to be the most fetching com
eav contnourea to tne stasre in
years. 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.

0BOT7ABY 'NOTICE.
The following- supplementarv
obituary notice of Geo. W. McDon
ald is contributed by a friend, and.
corrects one or two minor errors
occurring in the notice published

George-W. McDonald -wasborn at .
Cottonwood Springs, Feb. 1. 1872
Three months. later his parents re
movedf wlth' him to North : Platte.
When about eighteen months old,
during a severeattackof spinal men;
ingitis, he was totally deprived of
his" hearing, together with the
power of speech. This sa4- affliction
has necessitated his absence from
home the greater portion of his life.
During the centennial year, 1876, .
he was taken by his parents to
several eminent specialists in the
east in the vain nope tuat one
misrht be found that would afford
him relief. :
At the ageof fseven, he was placed
in the Institute for the Deaf and
Dumb at Omaha, which: he attended
for eight Tears, visiting home only
during bis summer vacation.
In the fall of 1887 he entered the
Class ot '96 of Gallander College
the national school for the deaf, at
Washington,, where eight years
more of his. life -were, devoted to
hard work and close application to
study.
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.

J. G. Hamilton, manager of the

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

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."
