"I don't care, I think Its Just ni tnenn at it cnn bel" And when tho Indignant young lady had mastered her tt cling sufficiently to explain the Mid: "Why, I let somo of the boy look at my photographs yesterday and one of them is gone, and its tho photo 1 price the most of tho wholo collection. I linve a lot of tin types, too, and five of them are missing since 1 let tho boys look at them last week. You know how ono naturally runs into n gallery for ft tin -typo while out on n lark. Thov are valuable to tho persons In tho picture for tho associations, tho memories they stir up. I don't see what other people want of thctn, particularly if they have to steal them. Yes, steal them I" she renfllnned with flashing eyes. "1 would Just as won havo them come Into tho house and havo them tnko most any of my other things. They havo Justus good right to tako that piano," pointing ton handsome upright. "It's tho meanest kind of meanness to steal n girl's photos, and," appealing to Ryothe-Rye, "I wish you would tell tho boys so." Amen, soys Rye-the-Dyo. V It Is asserted, with n plausible show cf truth, that tho Hub and tho Enterprise of Kearney aro to be consolidated and will be come, tho mouthpiece of the non-partlsinn prohibition league. The Enterprise is the morning paper started n few months ago to boom Kearney. It was untlci stood at the time that it was being hacked by some of the easterners who had planted a big bundle of capital in the soil ot that town. They raked n fund of 925,000, sent1 n couple, of young newtaper men from New England and said to them: "Go out there and show them how to run n ten dollar paper In n three dollar town. Room tho place for all she's worth as long as the money latits, and may God have mercy on your souls." The young men did get up an excellent paper, but it was doomed to end about as soon ns the soap ran dry. The bottom of the bucket was reached several weeks ago, about tho time Kearney raised Its 250,000 bonus for a cotton mill, and the Enterprise was turned over to other parties, in whose hands it has been undergoing a slow death. If this deal goes through it will probably end tho scheme to give the Call a bonus ot (10,000 on condition that it become a morn ing paper and support constitutional prohibi tion. On sober reflection the Call boys huve concluded that the effort to establish a morning paper would soon use up tho 910,000 and perhajw leave tho pnptr in a precarious condition, slueu only one morning paper in the state is making money. And the prohi bitionists Jumped at conclusions. They count ed on Al. Fafrbrother's willingness to sell out, but he did not respond with tho exacted anxiety. On tho whole tho Call boys' beads aro level . v "Thero are sixty Lincoln people here," says a letter from Munitou. And they nre only a small part of tho Capital cityites who will havo enjoyed a vacation uwny from home this summer. All of which indicates that Lincoln has a large number of prosper ous, well-to-do people, who, furthermore, have the good sense to live while they live. . Shortly after tho Johnstown flood Walt Mason wroto a poem with the refrain, "I know God will save me, because my mother told me so." Ho received a piece of sheet music tho other day and found his poem put up in the form ot a song, and not u particu larly beautiful melody either. The publisher hud used Mason's words without so much as "by your leave," and copyrighted the whole business. "And the worst if it is," says Walt, "tho fellow hug dedicated tho song to a girl I don't know." However, the sheet bears the credit "Words by Walt Mason," V "Do you Know how much the life insurance companies take out of Lincoln each year I" asked Judge Mason of an ucquuintuuco in n burst of loquacity, while lounging in front of the Capital hotel the other evening. "No, I do not," wus the response. "Half a million T' In u tone of half guess, half ques tion and with an air of putting it high enough to meet the expected nstonlsher. "The premiums during the past year must have amounted to 1,250,000," said tho Judgo "Onecompany took out 760,000 and paid back 100,000." That Lincoln is having a vigorous growth will be evident to any one who will drive through the residence part of town. New dwellings are going up In all directions, und many of them will be handsome, costly homes. W. Morton Smith of the Omaha Republican bureau reports about 700j)ermit8 issued this year and estimates the value of tho new buildings at l,!J50,000,not including the new court house. At this rate tho build-, ing record for the year ought to reach '.', 000,000, and that without a bit of boom. V Lincoln is preeminently a city of homes. "I saw more tine residences in Lincoln thuu in Omaha," said u gentleman who had Just made a bouse to house canvass of the two places, "I don't mean comparatively, mind you. There aro actually more handsome, costly homes in this city than in Omaha, without regard to the relative size of the two places,' and tho speaker wus from another stute, with no reason to misrepresent. A surprisingly large number of new dwellings are in course of erection. V Among tho handsomett of the newer resi dences is the homo of Mr. George A. Spencer, on O street Just east of Twenty-seventh. It is a two story and attic frame, and embodies several novel feutures. Mr. Spencer got the lilci of its stylo from the home of a Kansas City lawyer, which pleased him so well that he had It copied with slight modifications to suit the particular needs of his own family. The ac companying illustration gives un excellent idea of its outward opin-amnce. The elfect is heightened of course, by the tasteful com binations of colors in painting. A particu larly noticvuble feuture Is the front, which Is shingled to its base with Califorim red wood shingles. They are fitted to varying angles with the greatest nicety and show n warm red color. Tho port enchere at the left Is a decided novelty and an attractive bit of arch- itecture. Tho arrangement Is such as to pro tect tho adjoining dining room from the heat and glaro of the sun, no matter In what quarter it is, and yet it Is open enough not to scrlouIy Interrupt tho light or any breeze that may bo stirring. The little balcony above affords a cool and shady retreat from tho upper rooms, as does the balcony in the front of tho houso. Tho Imndsomo tower nt tho comer serves admirably for comiiiuulcn tlon between tho several floors. Tho stairs rlso ono above another, and by an arrange ment of Mr. Spencer's own contrivance there 11K8IDE.NCE OV Mil. (IKCUfJK is nn uninterrupted opening from top to hot torn. On tho second floor In tho tower is u cozy sewing loom, ntnl If it becomes neces sary to communicate with tho sewer It can bo elono without compelling ono pirty to climb on tho other to descend a flight of stairs. On entering tho front hall one finds the lnrgn bow of the tower at tho left, and the parlor with a beautiful mantel at tho right. The house is very roomy, nnd tho in terior finish is In hard pine, which lias taken a rich mellow tinge. Inside sliding blinds nre in b,armony with tho wood finish. The cellar is n model in arrangement and stylo, In admi rable keeping with tho rest of tho structure. Tho house is surrounded by a handsome lawn that is well kept. Tho owner likes a good horse, nnd nt the rear of tho lot is a stable reached by a cinder path. All in nil, Mr. Spencer nnd family hnve one of tho finest nnd most convenient residences in tho Capital City. Dan Loob brnko out in a now place last Monday. Tho New York Trutli recently pub lished a series of portraits of theatrical man agers, showing how they will look when they grow old. It may havo suggested to Dan, tho Lincoln genius, tho ideu of picturing n number of loonl celebrities "when they were boys." At any rate ono of Semmons' win dows bro u lot of small caricatures. Frank Zehrung npjMjared In a frock, carrying a buso bqll bat. H. M. Lcavitt wus playing with n scuttle filled with coal. Rlshop Skin ner held a string tied to a little hobby horse. Chief Engineer Newburry was do.vn on his knees pushing a young fire engluo. Will O. Jones wore- goggles nnd rend a Journal seated In a big arm chair. Walt Mason was crying because he had sucked all the red pain; from n Jumping Jack. Rob McReynolds was busy fulling In lovo with a pretty musk. Doo I'nyne, Prof. Asclunan, "Street Cm" Ernst, Tom Lowry, Prof. Hartley, Chief Cardernnd Major Trlckey were portrayed with appro priate trappings. Tho novel pictuio gallery attracted a great deal of attention and blocked the sidewalk. Miss Alice Snell, now a CouniEii render nt Tucoma hut formerly a resident of l.ln coin, sends a marked copy of tho Tacoma Globe containing the following: "Why did the Nebraska newspaper men treat the metroiwlis of tho northwest with such distinguished neglect on their recent Junketing trip from Omaha to the great west. On nrriving hero from Portland nnd Kalama where they spent soveral days they crawled out of their cars, stood around the wharf under the bluff, and gazing at the old Hatch mlh with its attendant shanties, made disparaging remarks nbout tho dilapidated appearance of poor Old Tacoma. Notwith staudir.g all this wo still hoped they would stop r nd seo us on their return trip and had mado arrangements to glvo them a squaro meal at Tyler's, escort them around our beau tiful town in carriages drawn by beautiful pink nnd white horses, and present each ono of tho purty with a beautiful gold headed cane. And yet when the boat touched tho wharf Monday the great men of the prairie stato again 6 too. I around tho wharf like hens In a rain, until their cars were ready, when they crawled aboard apparently glad to get out of n town upon whoso gates they firmly believe tho name Ichabod is written, in scrawling characters, with blue chalk." Tacoma has long been recognized as u crea ture and pet of the Northern Pacific railway, it is tho terminus of that road, which is mov ing heaven nnd earth to build it up at the expense of other cities In Washington terri tory. Anything that tends to tho up-building of Tacoma is Indirectly a help to tho Northern Pacific railway. That road llatly refused to extend nuy favor to the Nebraska editors, although they wished to puss over an insignificantly small part of the lino. Not only did tho road refuse the tran)ortntlou freely tendered by other companies, hut it declined to make any concessions in the rnto of fare, although the excursion party offered about sixty persons in their own cars.

They have no kindly feelings for tho Northern I'acillcnud Ignored Tacoma puriHxeiy. And the reason for tho N.

A movement Is on foot for n stato lawn tennis tournament. Lincoln is the most e-en-tral point for the towns likely to take an In terest In It, and the local clubs ought to wake up and secure It. The Omahn Republican of Thursday said:, "For some time past Mr. A. Hl'ENCEH O.N O hTHEET. John Lnthrop, tho lending spirit of tho Y. M. U. A. tenuis club, lias been endeavoring to arrnngefora state tennis tournament for some time during tho month of September. It is estimated that there nre nt least thirty tennis clubs In the state and of this number it Is expected that eight or ten clubs will bo willing to take port In a state tourney. The clubs nt Lincoln, Nebraska City. Fremont, Hastings, Pawme City, Yoik, Re-ntrico mid several others havo been written to on the subject, and nil henrd from are enthusiasti cally In fnvor of such n tournament. When the mutter wus first talked of, Lincoln was chosen as the most centrally located city in which to hold the tournament, but ns the clubs in the Capital City do not feel disused to tnko nn active part In the arrangements, it lias been decided by the local parties who nre interested to hold the tourney In this city. No definite arrangements huvo ns yet been made, but affairs nre Itolng rapidly pushed to their completion." Tho secretary of the Lincoln tennis club says he has received no communication relative to tho proposed tour nament. Members of the club sny they will give tho use of their grounds gladly for such a tourney. They havo five com ts (one sod and four dirt), nil In flue condition, and a club house witli shower baths and other con veniences. Ten members of tho wheel club enjoyed a run to Roca and back last Sunday, going out in the morning and returning in tho after noon. The, twelve miles were made in nil hour and twenty minutes. Tho boys wired the hotel in advance nnd they had a llnosprenil for dinner. The party Included II. L. Case, Arthur Young, Myron Wheeler, Frank Vnn Horn, W. F. Kelley, Messrs. Sullivan, Wal ton, Rrockeliuyer und Edmfston. The boys are figuring on a dub uin tomorrow to Ash land and buck, n distance ot fifty. five miles. A good hotel ut that pluco Is one of the in ducements. The Semmons and the Lincoln lacrosso clubs played u sharp game Tuesday evening nnd each won n goal. Tho score of games stands 0 to 6 in fnvor of tho Scimuon. To decide tho chnmpiouNhlp another game will be played next Thusrday afternoon, to which n small admission will be charged. The boys have given over twenty free exhibitions and ought to be well lutronlzed next Thusrday. Play will begin nt 4 o'clock. Tho members of tho Lincoln tenuis club have been generous in allowing lady friends unrestricted use of their courts. Among those who have been noticed most frequently on tho grounds aro Mrs. Pitcher, Mrs. Dawes, Mesrs. C. C. Rurr. Mrs. Mulr, Mr. Sheldon, Miss Rarr, Walsh, Hathaway, Loom Is, Ram nrd, Pitcher, Hardy, Cook, Clark, Marslnnd, Mnud Rurr, Rertie Rurr, Aileen and Uelle Oakley and Anna Funke. There are said to bo only three players In Lincoln who use the stroko known as tho "luwn tennis stroke," which lifts the ball over tho net and gives it an over-twist that then draws it to tho ground. They are S. L. Geist hart, Lieut. Townley nnd Frank L. Sheldon. It is n stroke almost universal among experts, and it is strange more Lincoln players do not practice It. East Lincoln has taken kindly to lacrosse. ' mid its boys huve organized two clubs under tho names of Pluninier and East Lincoln. They pluyed a game Monday evening with Ralph Whited ns referee, and the East Lin coins won tho only goal played after a tus sel of three quarters of an hour. At tho beginning of the season thero was nn outcry against dirt courts for the Lincoln tenuis club, nnd some members oven men tloned dusty skirts ns an aigumeut ngnluit them, but it is noticeable that the one sod court Is never used If either of tho other four is vacant. The plana for tho tournament of the Lliir I coin tenuis club nre not matured, but the i contest will probably take place the last week in August. There will probably be men's singles and doubles and ladles, singles. The prizes will be tenuis articles. The olllcers of the Lincoln tennis club have decided to Insist on the by-law requiring ten ills players to wear tenuis shoes In the courts. lt;isdon tw prevent tho ground from being tut up l) ordinary slice s. The ymingjndles who nte tnjojlrg the fun of knocking n rubber ball over n net in tho "DudcV Pasture" have united in declaring Hal Yoiuiglhe best tennis plnjer In Lincoln.

Thti Circus Comlnsj, Tho combined Forepnugh nnd Wild West shows will exhibit In Lincoln on Friday, August 2!) This the first circus ot the sea son, Feircpnugh has beu beforo the public for years, nlivnys with one of the lx-t shows, nnd thi snson he has outdone previous ef fort. The Wild West deperttneiit alone rep resents a illi e ct cash outlay of 150,000, In Its wonderfully Interetting pictures of prairie life nnd in tho spectacular ilramn, "Custer's Last Rally," which fitting, ly rounds up thn "Wild West," over two hundroel Indintis, scout nnd cow boys nre engaged, nnd the Little Rig Horn mnssacre Is Impersonated by Dr. Wm. IS. Cnrver, the noteel scout and dend shot of the plains. Adnm Forepnugh, Jr.'s, daring !K) -horseback act, nnd tlio feats of Ills traJK-ro pony "Eclipse," have created a genuine sensation wherever tho show lias exhibited. Ho npenrs with his irnniMwtr flahthur. ilniiclmr and clown ele phants, which during tho memorable- senson of the Forepaugh show in Now York City, became lliewoniier aim mm en ine. iiicireiiiu li. Tii,.r nru of course the tisunl immmstla and ring feats, among them the trnpew ucts of tho Eugenes, iii-oni- imny or rrene.li er foriuers, . . Tlio font which "Eellpei" performs l iindouhtexlly one of thciiHstextrnoidliui' ry ever informed by a horse. It is not a trick, but a berform- niicore'quliing plucky correct mental meas urement of ellktnnco nnd the liorso's cemfl- ilence In his own abil ity. There nru two plutforiri swings, sus pended thirty feet apart nnd twenty feet In tho air. "Ecllpso" runs up mi Incline to one swing nnd takes his place on tho platform. Then both swings nro drawn back nnd released simultaneously, nnd nsthey approach the brave pony springs out nnd forwnrd and lands securely on the oppo site platform. Ho does this rojunteilly, jumping through hoojn and rings of (ire, and always exactly calculating the distance. Tho Idea of ono man driving thirty horses nt, one time Is sulllclent to exclto wonder, but when tho driver Is standing erect upon tho two wheel horses nnd the others are stretched out In a line nearly a hundred yards, and rushing around tho crentquiirter-nille hippo drome track at headlong speed, the effect Is simply startling. No single act produces so much enthusiasm. The training ot these thirty horses was entirely the wort ot Adam . Vnroiuitnrli. Jr. In order to illustrntn to tthnt iierfection elephants can bo trained, young Forepnugh has selected eight mammoth ll llllllicwilK MlwliJiiri ins, iuui iiiiiu-n iiiiii luur - fcmnles, nil nnswerlng to Shnke-sperlnn names nnd to make, tho quadrille they dnnce moro life like each main elephant has a "lady" partner.
