A Pretty Entertainment,
Longfellow's ISvangelinc was pre
sented at the opera house Saturday
evening' under the direction of Mr.
Kendall to an audience that well
filled the iloor and galleries. The
poem was read by Mr. Kendall and
the principal events were carried
out in pantomime by nearly one
hundred adults and children, the
former wearing the picturesque
garb of the Acadians. These cos
tumes gave the stage a very pretty
appearance during the ensemble of
the cast.
Miss Josephine Goodman , as
Evangeline received deseryed com
mendation for her work, and es
pecially in the closing scene, where
she finds her lorcr dying in the
almshouse. Milton Doolittlc as
Gabriel, V. W. Bryant aa Benedict
Bellefontaiuc, W, M. Cunningham
us Basil and Frank McCall in the
role of Father Leblanc the notary,
were properly costumed and carried
out their parts well.
A pleasing feature of the enter
tainment was the buttctfly drill by
sixteen young ladies, who made the
intricate changes with much grace
fulness and precision.
The gross receipts ol the evening
were $172 00, and the ICpitcopal
Guild, under whose auspices the
production was given, netted fifty
eight dollars.
Congressman Burltott'o Spocch.
Congressman Burkclt of Lincoln
delivered a republican address at
the court house last Friday even
ing, in a terse and forcible manner.
In opening he told of the necessity
of republicans taking an interest in
politics in "off" years; that if they
showed apathy in the county cam
paigns they served to strengthen
and iortify the fusionists. He paid
a just tribute to Judge Sedgwick,
the republican nominee for supreme
judge, and uto the candidates for
regents. To the late President
McKiuley he paid a beautiful and
tender tribute, and spoke of the
beneficient meatures and acts of
the McKinley administration.
The speech throughout was a
lorciblc otic and aroused renewed
enthusiasm in the republicans pre
sent and showed the lusiouists in
the audience the error of their
ways.
Here is a quotation from Con
gressman Burketl's speech last
Friday evening that is mighty
timely: "In these times of leth
argy we permit the court houses to
fill Up with our opponents, who
make the fight all the more diffi
cult next year. We have carried
the majority of the counties for the
legislative ticket twice and yet if 1
am correctly uitorined two
thirds of the court houses of
the state are held by lusionists.
Thus intrenched, it requires heme
lean effort to overcome their influ
ence in presidential and congress
ional and legislative years.

Youthful Duiglnro.
Two boys eight or ten years old,
named Weisbcrg and Bowlby, were
arrested yesterday on the charge ol
entering Davis' hardware store and
taking two guns and a lot of am
munition. About two weeks ago
the Davis store was entered and a
rifle and cartridges stolen. En
trance was gained through a rear
window which had bars across, and
only a small boy could squeeze
through. The matter was reported
to the police, but kept quiet in
order that the thief might be ap
prehended. Last Sunday night the
store was again entered and a shot
gun and shells taken. That night
Bowlby and Weisburg tailed to
tdiow up at home, and their disap
pearance having been noised about,
the officers at once concluded that
the boys were guilty of the bur
glary. Toward noon the boys were
found and upon being questioned
admitted their guilt and took the
officers to where thev had hid the
guns one of which was hidden iu
Hinman's pasture and the other
buried in the railroad grade in the
west end of town. It is now be
lieved that these boys have been
guilty of a number of petty robber
ies which have occurred during the
past ninety days.
To Shut off Creditors.
The Union Pacific Railway com
pany has come to the assistance ol
its employes who have been har
assed by the garnishment ol their
wages iu Iowa for debts due 111 Ne
braska and a test will be made of
four cases to be tried in Justice
Bryant'B court next Wednesday,
The local attorneys for the railway
company have been retained to de
fend the cases and it is understood
that if Jthe-decisiou of the justice ot
the peace is unfavorable to the de
fendants the cases will be taken to
the district court and, if ncccsqry,
from there to the supreme court.
The defendants arc Edwin M.
Arnold ot Omaha and, J. Costello,
J. A. Taylor and M. Burke of
Grand Ibland, employes of the
Un ion Pacific. The claims against
against them have been aosigncd
to one J. B, Fulton, said to be a
collector of what are known as
'bad debts." Fulton brought suit
in the court of Justice Bryant in
this city garnisheeing the Union
Pacific, as the defendants not being
residents of this state arc not
entitled to exemption as heads of
families. These suits have been
brought despite the fact that a law
waB passed several years ago 111
Nebraska making it unlawful for
Nebraska creditors to assign
claims to persons outbide the state
for the purpose of avoiding the Ne
braska law nn exemptions. The
Union Pacific for the protection of
its employes has determined if
possible to put a stop to this prac
tice and with this end in view a
test wid be made on these lour
cases.- -Council Bluff Dept. in the
