Tlio reigning beauty of tlio American stngo
just at present is Miss Lillian Russell, who,
desplto several uiatrfmonlal infelicities, Is the
adored of eastern dudedotn. The drmimtic
columns aro never without mention of Miss
Russell, and not to know something about lier
is to nrguo yoursolf behind the times. The
CouiiiKH presents its readers with u handsome
hulf-tono-portrnlt of this comic opera queen
in costume. Sho is dressed for tlio pint of
"Fiorella," tho brigand's daughter, in the
comic oern "Tho Brigands." Tim piece has
just finished its run in Now York, but east
erners aro raving over the airy, fairy Lillinii,
nnd she will undoubtedly bo a pioiuluciit flg
uro in another opera.
Among tho members of tho "Shenandoah"
company is a young lady whoso htago career,
as well as hor work next Monday and Tuesday
evenings, will have a special Interest for Lin
coln people, because sho is a cousin of tho
Messrs. Wostorinun. Tlio lady Is MissElonn
or Tyndalo, who is cast for thu pait of ".Mrs.
Constance Huverlll." She made her debut
with Genevieve Ward in London in the sea
son of 1880-7. The following year sho spent
at her homo in Now York, but npenrcd in
private entertainment given at the homes of
tho millionaires of tho metropolis. In tho sen -son
of 1888-0 sho played tho lending juvenile
parts with Edwin Booth and Lawrence Bar
rett. One summer sho was leading lady for
Mndamo Mojoskn nnd appeared in Lincoln as
"Lady Olivia" in "Twelfth Night." Miss
Tyndalo was a protego of Mrs. Henry Vlllard
and is highly connected in tho east. 8ho is
earnestly devoted to her profession, and her
success is iuo to insistent, conscientious,
well directed effort Tho prominent rolossha
has been given by the leading American stars
is the best evidence of her ability.
Last week tho CouniKii announced the in
auguration of a policy of bringing the merits
of the paper more thoroughly before iH-oplo
of Lincoln. There nro hundreds of families
In tlio Capital City that ought to bo rending
tho CouniKii regularly, and they are to bo
given a chance to try tho goods Ixjforo they
aro usked to buy. Free sample copies will bo
sent them during a series of weeks. At the
end of that period they will bo given un op
portunity to subscribe, and if they order the
paper it will bo continued, Many sample
copies were sent out last week, and tho free
list has a largo addition this Issue. Persons
receiving a CouniKii with this notice marked
will understand thut it Is a sample copy, and
they nro invited to rend it carefully from
week to week.
Tho Seventh Day AdvontlstB nro not a nu
merous body, but they havo leen an unusual
ly successful church in a financial way. The
church has been fortunate in having good
managers In chnrgo of its niralrs, and tho
practical clement has conti oiled the organiza
tion, muking it solid, aggressive and effective.
Battle Creek, Mich., seems to be recognized
ns n sort of headquarters of the church In
America. Here is a lai go printing establish
ment turning out most of tho denominational
reading of the sect, and hero aro gathered the
leading spirits of the church. The local Ion of
their now college in Lincoln muy lead in time
to the establishment of another publishing
house here, and Lincoln is likely to Income
tlio denominational center for tho countiy
west of the Mississippi, In locating thu col
lege tho representatives of the church have
LILLIAN Kl'HNKLL IN "THE HUIOANDH,"
displayed tho poise and the promptness of
business men. For example they appeared
lieforo the Heal Estate exchange Monday anil
announced thciusclvoH prepared to push the
enterprise. They wero ready t give IkhiiIs
for the fullllhueut of their promises, and ask
ed for the deeds of tho land contributed to
them. They had their architect and plans at
hand and Immediately routed olllco rooms in
the Burr block. The now school will bo known
as Union college. It will bo located on tlio
May farm about a mllo and u half southeast
of tho city HniltH, and tho new suburb will bo
known as College View. Work will begin at
once, and we ai e assured of thu completion of
thu main building and one of the boarding
ImlU this season, presumably in tlmo for tho
opening of school next fall.
A number of business men have heartily
approved tho Couiiikh'h comment on tho fol
ly of patronizing tho tramps who como to
town to bleed it with cheap advertising
"fakes" and schemes and cai ry awny hun
dreds and thousands of dollars. Tho recent
alleged history of Lincoln was nanus! as an
example in xiiit, ami we have an Illustration
at hand of how tho smooth schemers work.
Olio of tho largest wholesale firms gave an
order for a fifty-dollar write up with the un
dei standing that it should include a cut of
their building and 100 copies of the pamphlet.
These traveling fakirs always make their pa
trons sign a contract, which is always worded
in general terms. In this enso tho slick solic
itor was careful not to mention tho cut in tho
contract. When thu historical nightmare ap
peared it was without tho promised cut, and
tho business firm very proj)erly refused to
pay. Tlio 100 copies of the pamphlet wero
delivered, but aro piled up in a corner, and it
is safe to assume they will never do Lincoln a
dollar's north of good. Huvlng no further
interets in the city, tho why fakirs have gone
to newer pictures nnd loft uiiMild uecount
with nn nttornuy for collection. Tho business
firm have u suit staring them in tho faco that
may cost more than tho claim aguinst them.
Ordinarily oral evidence limy not count for
much against tho terms of a written contract,
but in tills enso tho contract Is so vnguo that
it may defeat Itaolr. It simply promises a
notice in tho pamphlet. It is fair to presume
that there was an understanding as to the
length nnd chnrncter of that "notice," and It
Is probable that tho courU will admit testi
mony to show tho nature of that understand
ing. It is stated that bystuuding employees
overheard tlio talk aliout tho cut and for once
an advertising shark is likely to get left.
Kxerlcnces of this kind ought to Uvich
biiblnohs men to fight shy of strangers with
"schemes." If tho city or Individuals want
advertising there aro plenty of men right hero
ready and anxious to get it out for them
men with business reputations to sustain and
men who w ill keep tho prolltx of tho enter
prise right hero at homo. Wo have a board
of trade just aching for funds to advertise
Lincoln. If tho gentlemen who paid oxhorb
itnut sums for nauseating puffs In this wretch
ed "history" had contributed tho samo
amounts to the liouril of trade, tho f,',(XK) to
!i,000 so raised would havo gone four or five
times as far. A much better Ixxik would
havo Intel, Issued at cost price, and tho f 1,-100
said to have leeu made by the compilers of
this "history" would have spread tho gospel
of truth about Lincoln thu Beautiful far ami
wldu In the benighted lauds of tho east.
Business men, just think of these things the
next time you aro tackled by ono of these
riuooth.tongued solicitors, l'auso a moment
and think of the absurdity of paying an un
known tramp s homer f 10, fli'i, fo0 or 11X1 to
endorse you to the world! These rcmarksnro
addressed to the business men liecnuso they
nro at fault. The schemers nro not to 1st
blamed if they do as they promise. They
hnvo found uu c-isy way of making a hend
some income, and it Is only natural they
should use it. The business men of Lincoln
aro not more at fault than those of other
cities. The Commit has no expectation that
its comments will bring about a relorm, but
If it sets a few business men to thinking thu
leaven may permeate.
The Coimi:ii establishment, .vlilch Is sole

following:
"Tho friends of Editor Wessel of the Capi
tal City CouiilKlt are asking why he has
been absenting himself from his accustomed
haunts since tho appearance of thu last mini
Iter of his Justly celebrated publication. Thcro
weio some remarkably good things in that Is
sue. Mr. Wessel has no causo to bo ashamed
of it."
Tho gentleman in question has not Ixvon ab
senting himself more than usual, and ho Is
pretty well, thank you. An absence for an
evening is not strange when one is in the habit
of being out of town onco or twlceulmostnny
week. Mr. Wessel most emphatically is not
ashamed of the last Issue of the CouniKii, and
ho is pleased to notice thut tho Jottmiif knows
a good thing when It sees it.
Lincoln is likely to he indebted to the enter
prise and tho iK)cketH of C. K. Montgomery
mid Iloliert Mclteynolds for a coliseum, lhey
have lieon at work quietly laying plans for
the erection of such a structure, and havo
progressed so far that they announce It a go
They have an option on a central site, but tho
location is not to bo made public yet. The
promised structure is to have brick walls and
bo about lOOx 1,10 foot In size. Tliero w III lie a
bicycle track :tt0 feet long, a big stage across
one end mid a seating cnwiclty of 7,000. The
building is designed for sports, entertains
incuts, conventions anil other kinds of large
gatherings. Thu structure will cost $20,000
or more. Lincoln ought to have such a build
ing, and If Messrs. Montgomery and Meltoy
Holds want any associates In a financial way
they ought not to havo to lieg for them. The
coliseum w ill he three months in building. It
will probably bo put under the management
of Mr. Mclteynolds, who will give It as care
ful attention as he does the opera house.

(leiitleinc u'h Neat A I tire.
Few gentlemen in these imslern times can
afford to wear anything else biitcustom made
clothes. Thu agu of neat fit and flnu lluish In
either business suitings as well ns evening
di ess seems to pi evnll now even more than
ever. The gal incut that is made to your or
der with proMT skill and style Is overa pleas
ure to the eye, n credit to the wearer. It is
made In any particular stylu and wltliun aim
to please and satisfy your own cculfar fancy,
as to KX-ket.s, trimmings and general detail.
This reminds thu CouiilKlt of a recent
change that lias leen made In the location of
a lending house. Heretofore the P. H. Coojior
Tailoring Co. did huslnoss over l.'ll South
Twelfth street, and through its efllclent man
ager, Mr. James W. Smith, a valuable i
trouagu among our Ixwt business num has
lieon established. When the firm fli st located
hero they were unable to secure a ground
floor location, but havo since leased the west
half of the Ijinsing building, l'jyo O street,
where an elegant showing of their handsome
stock is Is'ing made. It is a fact worth re
membering, that in selecting gaiinentsof any
description, tho customer wants a lilieral as
sortment to select from, and it Is certainly
stating but facta when wosny that the Hue of
goods shown by Mr. Smith is not surpassed
anywhere in tho west. A call will substanti

The fortunes of war are stniiige. One day
ill the Southern Hotel nt St. Louis, a lew
mouths ago, J. II. Mcl'iillagh, tho editor of
the (iliilM--l)i-m(iritil, was sitting reading a
newspaKT. when a gentleman milked upuud,
extending his hand, said:
"How do) on do, Mr. McCiillaghf"
The editor put out his hand and said:
"How do you do, sir!"
"You don't seem to know me,'' the stranger
remarked.
"Oh yes, 1 do," said Mr. McCiillagh.
"Well, who am Ii" inqulicd tint stringer.
"I'll answer y u in this wa,"sald Mr. Mc
Ciillagh. "The lust time I saw yon wus In
IH's'l, in the pilot house of the gun-licit (r..iri
Inglt) In the river before Kt. DonaV.sou
Tlieie were three of us in the pilothouse, on,

Now if It was Morrison who was kiUtil by
that shell, your name is Hellly; mid If it was
Hellly who was killtd, you are Morrison. I
remcmlier jour voice K-rfictly, but 1 cannot

Mr. McCiilhigh was right The man who
stiHxl U-foie him was Hellly, the pilot who
was not killed. In Hronsou Howard's "Shen

opera house Monday anil Tuesday evenings, a
story is fold in which a failure of recognition
produces an equally striking effect. Genera!
Haverhill has a dissolute sou, who gets into
trouble in New York just before tho wnr. Ho
lias a step mother who loves him dearly, and
w hen his sins compel him to lit e from tho me
tropolis, he leaves w ft li his stepmother's pic

his valor soon wlusfoi him promotion. Hois
often near Ills falhtr's side, but the latter,
General Haverhill, Knows him not. At last,
while on extra hazardous duty, ho Is wounded
unto ihath. While lying on a stretcher ho
dictates a letter to his stepmother. His fa
ther leaches tho joung ollli-er's sideas the
icy fingers of death are sealing the lips. A
Ix-nrd grown on the field conceals the on's
features. Little know nig who lies there, the
old soldiei listens to the story of the joung
captain's bravely. "Ule him a mldier's

Ills voice, when the story is finished, "it is all
we can do for him now," nod tin ut d away.
"I Iioik' soim-Uxly tlid as much for my ty
