AMUSEMENTS.
My Ood, man, how much romla opera do
you oxot for ten cents! The performances
nt the Kdon Musee nre given hourly nnd the
oH-iim had to be cut down accordingly. The
design was to tnko tlio prettiest musla nnd give
Jut enough of the speaking lines to Indicate
the plot. A great tunny people whlled a ivay

nnd that I what tho Museo Is for. Tho let

chniico of Lincoln people to see their strange
custom.
ran KAIIl WEEK.
Mnnngcr Mclleynolds hns engaged two po;.
ular falr-weok attractions for next week:
Milton Nobles and Charlotte Thompson, who
will divide the week equally. Milton nnd
Dolllo Noble will present "1jvo nnd Law,"
"Tho Phoenix" and "From Sire to Son."
Milton Is not only nn actor, but n clever
writer who produces hi own plays. In "Tho
Phoenix" ho is tho seedy lioheinlnn with his
blood-curdling romanco for tho Weekly
Chnmbermudi's Own, In which occurs that
now common expression "And the villain
still pursued her." The play has been seen by
almost everyone, but still holds Its plnce In
popular favor, "Lovo and Law" is n newer
piece that gives Nobles nn oportuuIty to
piny an Italian part that always catches tho
audience. "From Biro to Son" is Nobles' now
est play. Tho first act occurs In n mining
town In California nnd Is romantically con
ducted. We see nothing of tho conventional
types of tho familiar western ploy, and it may
be objected that tho author has given too
much refinement nnd "gift of speech" to sev
eral of his characters: but that Is n small mat
ter compared with tho dnrlngTorlginullty of
having all tho charncters,includlng the sher
iff, mcot in Venice four mouth later In regu
lation evening toilet. This is done for a din
nn'lc purpose however, and tho purpose Is
well met.
THOMPSON.
Charlotte Thompson will appear at Kunko's
on Thursday evening in "Jnno Eyro," on Fi I
day evening 'n "East Lynne" nnd on Satur
ila hvoii'iu in "Honrts Astray." Tho Now
York Ilo-uld says of this star, M w Chnr
lnttu Thorn "Mi Is of charming presence nnd
gifted by ni'tiro with rare talent. 8ho Is
mo, u idivihtedly in tho foremost ranks of
tli" nn U'le wnild. Thero are few, if nny,
ho hn vt ml tho advantages which Miss
Thompson possesses. Her manner Is natural,
nnd the iili'enco ot stage conventionality is
iet the lenr charm ot her Impersonations.
Iter action I freo nnd graceful, and she poe-.
hvmM.i djpth of sentiment and passionate
neiirv wnieii gives a vivm reality to every
motlo.t, At tlnios sin has nlo vivaa ity nml
archness, and a'l tho boiiyaut nnd electric
spirit of glewlug genius, .
NOTES.
The audlenco nt "Monbars" was nn attrac
tive assemblage in the matter of dress ns well
os in other respects, nnd ono of tho most
pleasing detail was n number of ladles with
out tho stage hiding pllo of tullllnory so dis
tracting to tho fellow behind one ot them.
Among them wero Mrs. K. K. Hayden, Miss
Maggie Mullen, Miss May Burr and Miss
KemiKT of Burlington. If It wore not for
tho objection of some suprr-Bcnltlro souls tho
CouillEH would start a roll of honor with tho
names of these ladies nt the head, nnd it may
do so anyway. It a lady distinguish her
self by good senso and thereby win tho np
plauso of man, why isn't that as worthy of
mention as n fetching gown made by a hired
modlstol There nre lints for feminine wear
that aro qulto unobjectionable even at the
theater, but at "Monbars" wero several whoso
owners would have blushed for shame it they
could have hoard tho comments upon them.
Manager McReynolds distinguished himself
at the opening performance ot the season by
arranging a fountain in tho foyer and adding
floral decorations to the house. It Is not ev
eryone who can accomplish so novel a feat as
that of making geranium blossoms grow on
palms and fems, but the ingenious Bob is a
versatile fellow whose genius no pont up con.
vontlonallsm can bound.
Harry B. Brown, treasurer ot Funke's op-
ora house lost season, has relinquished tho
place to take a course lu the buMness college,
but will retain charge of the JVo.wHiiim.
Frank Handy, late of 'Cincinnati, is now
handling the box office.

will be given about Christinas week, have

church.
Muiitcal Trulnlnt.
Prof. F. M, Olbeault returned last Satur
day from his summer sojourn in Paris. The
professor had five weeks among ro lathes and
friend at Bordeaux and in viewing tho won
ders of Paris, and like all true Frenchmen he
was sorry to tear himself from La Belle
France, but he knew a large class of young
people were noxiously awaiting his return to
this beautiful city of the far western plains,
The professor cornea back refreshed and reln
vlgorated lu mind and body, and is better
equipped than ever to induct beginners in his
profession, His studio is at the Lindell hotel,
and he has clashes In both vocal and instru
mental music. Quite a number ot his pupils
Insisted on resuming study at once, and his
classes began last Monday. The professor
will be pleased to consult with auyone deslr
Ing to pursue the study of music.
Five O'Clock Dinners.

A LINCOLN GIRL'S THIP.
Seattle, Wanil, Aug. 89, '80.
When the dny nnd hour flxel for our tie-wi-turo
from Lincoln arrived wo found it
nlmost lmHlblo to leave even the element
warred ngnlust us. Nature exerted nil her
forces to prevent us from forsaking our otii
lovely city. The rain iletcendod, the light
ning flashed nml- I ho thnttders rolled; even
that most beniitlful stream unjustly called
Salt CrrrAr (but wlmt's In n iinmof) oiired
forth Its briny wnters over Its bunks in n no
ble effort to wash out the railroads, nnd to
o jiiih1 u to stay at home. Could you llnm
It for shedding Its tears on such nn occasion:
However, nothing daunted by small mlslmin,
wo determined to tiersovero In our nttempt,
resigning ourselves to long pause waiting for
delayed trains. From Lincoln to Denver
nothing of n very exciting nnturo occurred.
Tho scenery nlong tho route through Nebras
ka consist, ns you know, entirely of rolling
pralrlep IntorsjHirsed with Melds of com, onts
and other grain, showing a wonderful degree
of cultivation. It Is not really poetical, per
liaps, but I eminently practical, which Is far
better in thl world of ours.
Wo sient n day very pleasantly with
friends diking about Denvor slghtvieelng,
etc. At fi p. m. we left by tho Denver & Wo
Urn tide for Salt Lako City, We entered n
narrow-gunged sleeiier more inconvenient
than the one wo hnd left, but that mattered
little, for this was to lw the most enjoyable
part of our Jotirnoy the "Trip to the
Ilockles." Upon Inquiry I learned that we
would pas through tho Iloynl Gorge, a most
nttrnctlvo bit of scenery, nt U:45 n. in. It
seemed hunt, but, when the Idea ontered my
head to be up ami on the rear platform of the
car at that hour, I seized Ukii It nnd decided
to put It Into execution. I had hnd somo llttlo
experience beforo with jwrtors nogloctlng to
nrouso mo nt the desired hour, so do'ermlnod
to trust to myself. With my watch grnsjied
firmly lu my hand I calmly lay nown and in-,
vlted sleep. Such wns my great anxiety that
I nwoko nearly overy half hour during the
night. I romember onco nwakonlng nt a tow
minute before 3 n. m., nnd I though1: that
another short sloop might yet bo mine beforo
tho eventful tlmo would arrive. Alasl for
human confidence In ono's self I Tho oplrlt
Indeed wns willing, but you know tho lest.
By a hurried glance nt my timepiece in my
next nwnkenlng moment, I saw tho hands
pointing to 4:00. I realized that "my dream
was onded " After lamenting for n short
tlmo I nrose nnd with somo friends wont out
on the platform. "Scenoryr do you nsk
Ye, mountain sconery unsurpassed in Its
grandeur. In front, nt sldes.and all about us
these lofty monuments ot ages reared their
summits high above the clouds. Soon wo
were nscendlng n steep grade on our way to
Marshall Pass. Beneath us lny a lovely llttlo
valley so fortllo and Green, so tranquil In Its
repose. "All tho nlr a solemn stlllnes" hold.
Thoro wns nothing to destroy tho clenrncs of
the atmosphere, and tho summits of peaks
miles distant mlcht easily bo seen, pome bar
ren nnd rockv. somo crowned with forests of
pines nnd firs and others capped with snow,
Far lu the east a light flush could be detected
in tho soft lmzo surrounding the summit of
the mountains. It soon changed into n deeper
nnd a rosier hue, nnd tho white, fleecy spocks
floating about In tho clear blue of the sky, nR
sumod various tints and shades as a few rays
of light tecied forth over the mountains, her
aiding the approach ot tho sun , In a moment
that clorlous orb Itself burst unon u with all
its dazzling splendor. How everything wns
niddenly changed? New llfo and spirit seem
ed Infused into all nature, nnd what was calm
ly beautiful beforo was now radiantly nnd
brilliantly so. Tho trees appeared a brighter
green, the ripples of tho llttlo streamlets
spiirklcd n they ran, chasing each other down
tlie hillsides; tho fliwers, which had been
closed In sleep by tho gentlo' touch of night,
now oped to the glorious light of day; by the
glittering nnd tho sparkling nt our feet and
on nil sides could be dotectod tho wealth of
mineral In the mountains. Everything about
us united In a muto but Joyous welcome to
tho Ood of Dny.
Tho passago through the Black Canon was
perhaps tho most fascinating part of tho trip.
Walls ot rock rose on either sldo of u. 'hun
dreds of feet nbove our heads, while the river
ran beneath us, In its shallowest parts clear
aim i)i uo nnu spanning ns it rippiea over tlio
tho. stones; In other paits forming miniature
falls and cascade, the daintiness ot the foam
and spray ns tho water dashed ngolnst the
rocks forming a picture in strango contrast
with tha ono which mot our oyes when wo
raised our head' and gazed upwards at the
rocks, magnificent, yet awful In their power
and strength. Some huge masses, balanced
on end overhanging tho abyss below, seemed
ever ready to plungo beneath and bury all
within their path In uttor terrible darkness.
All that day we speeded along, enjoying just
such grand scenery, of which a brilliant sun
set formed not the least attractive portion.
About 7 o'clock Friday morning we arrived
at Salt Lake City, and feeling the fatlguo of
the Journey, we decided to stop and recuper
ate. Ot course wo spent all tho time sight
seeing. We saw the new Templo and tho
Tabernacle, tested the acoustic properties of
tho latter, and "lntorviowed"a Mormon elder.
In tho afternoon we went out to Oarfleld
Bench and enjoyed a most delightful Imth In
Salt Lako. Some of our party seemed a little
afraid of the water so they went out only a
few steps, then decided that they had better
return to tho jmvIIIIoii, or they might miss
the car which would start for the city in
about two hours time. The rest ot us went
bravely "out to sea" and laughed at the
others on shore. After a pleasant evening
listoning to Robert Mnntoll lu "Monbars," we
retired to rest.
Our traveling the next day through Utah
and Idaho was not very pleasant naught but
a wido stretch of sandy desert for miles and
miles, covered with sage-brush. After enter
ing Oregon our trip wns moro enjoyable, as
wo traveled nlong tho bank of tho Columbia
river, n most beautiful stream and in some
jwirts very pHurewmo, ospeeiully at tho Cas
cades nnd Brldnbveil Falls. Perhaps the
most plcturesquo feature of the scenery was
the colonies of Indians camping out along the
bonks. At some place whero we paused long
enough to permit a sandbar to Ixj removed
from the track, tho noble red man and his
family would como up nnd gazo at us, evident
ly classing us amongst the seven wonders of
tho world. We were delayed by the sand-bars
and ontered Portland four hours late. Tho
timber country seen along tho route to Taco
ina Is really beautiful. ",n both sides of the
track were magnificent forest-crowned hills.
Some ot tho trees had already assumed the
drew of Autumn. Mountain duisles poeped
forth just above the grasses, while scarlet
berries, luxuriant creepers, and tall, stately
ferns combined to complete a perfect fore
ground to this lovely picture. As usual, we
were not on time and it was dark when we
reached the wharf at Tacoiua, darker still
when tho steamer arrived ut Seattle, and we
were only too happy to be at our destination
at last, The end of our wanderings for the
present Is it not n appropriate place for the
closing of this letter, winch also might be
properly termed "wanderings." Of this
"City of Tents" moro nnon.
