A doctor says It Is tho offspring of la gr!pto.
And so It has como to puss Mint nt Inst wo

that all that Mr. Illglow has promised will
be enrried out In every detail. This Is not a
mushroom Idea of the projector, but one that
has long been under serious contemplation
nud lin.s received duo nnd dclilicnito consid
eration. Thnt there Is something more in
this Idea than in tho reports heretofore print
eel is evident in tho manner of push and
enterprise Mint is shown in the fact that al
ready ground has lecn broken and the work
of excavation Is well under wny. The con
trnct wns signed Snturdny night nnd curb
Monday morning tho diggers commenced to
make the earth lly.
The plans call for n seven story build

to bo completed on or lieforo January llrst.
Tho plans have all been drawn and accepted
nnd therefore no delay w 111 bo occasioned on
that score. As for tho material that cannot
be obtained In the homo market, Mr. liiglow
nnd his architect are now In Chicago, whith
er they wont Sunday to make nrrnugements
for the shipment of tho same, so that 110 de
lay will bo had after the work of construc

for not less t linn two passenger elevators, a
freight elevntor, a rotunda on tho ground
floor -lOx.Ml feet, dining room and kitchen to
bo on the sixth floor and nil the conveniences
to be of tho latent nud most approved pat

A friendly relationship might 1st supiiOHcd

Hovernl Lincoln young people aro indebted
to Mr. Wing 11. Allen for a delightful even
ing ntOmnlin last week. An elabornte ball
was given nt the l'nxton hotel on Frlduy
evening, nud it was on Mr. Allen's invitation
that the Capital City visitors wore privileged
to enjoy tho guy whirl. It wns n subscription
nlfnlr gotten up by Mr. Allen, Clark Hcdlck
und llert Cook and brought out most of tho
buds of Omaha society. The music wns ex
quisite and included the popular airs of tho
daynrrnnged for dancing. The long, wldo
corridor on the second floor was canvassed,
and nnswered admirably for n dancing room.
Tho pnrlors, hnlls and balconies ulforded in
niimcrublo easy seats nnd retired nooks. At
the middle of the program nn elaborate i.ix
eouiso supper was served in tho dining room.
The whole coinpany sat down to tho table at
onco, and tho corps of colored withers were
kept busy for moro than hour. Tho ap
pointments of the ball were elegant in nil
respects, nud tho visitors surely must le
grateful for the nttentlons showered upon
them. From Lincoln were Miss Maud Ilurr,
Messrs. Will Clnrko, Lou Mnrshnll, Charles

face und a voluptuous
Hguio, Miss Tanner is
notably "handsome"
whether viewed us woman or as boy.
Ilettei than that, from an artistic and a crlt
leal view, she is an actress who sei-ms to have
the elements for a griMtt fame. It Is Ksslblo
a seveie critic might disclose something less
than perfection in her work in "I'lise-lnatlon,"
but tho spes-'tators who were under th'i spell
of her acting unit tho charms of her Isvuiity
saw no Haws. They were delighted, enthus
iastic, and their call Is-foie the curtain was
an ovation for the star. Tho siipsrt was
unusually strong and oven, and the perform
ance as 11 whole was as satisfactory nn enter
tainment ns the season bits presentesl.
Miss Tiinuer Is the wife of William Sinn,
w ho accompanies her as manager. Col. Slim
has a theater in Ilrooklju and often one or
two companies on the load. In tho east he is
identilled as "the llrooklyn manager," nud
occasionally a newspaper wit gets oil' a sMt
about "a great deal of Slim dwelling in the
city of (hurdles." This refers to the Col
onel's iimple propoi tlons. He is very proud
of his pretty nnd talented wife nnd piovos it
by providing her with such a flue supporting
company.

Sinn Is In love with her, and Mint's why they

The company finish their season at Oinnha
tonight, and go thence dlres-t to New York.
Miss Tanner will spend much of the summer
studying her part in anew piny: "One Krror."
She will peisoiintc a woman battling for her
reputation. The play will Ik strongly emo
tional, after the order of "Miss Multoii."
Miss Tanner prefers an emotional role1, though
it is a greater tax 011 her powers than the
simpler par in "Fasclnntlon." "One Krror"
will be played a season or two probably, but
Colonel Sinn's idea is, when she has minion
reputation for several plays, to use them as a
roKTtorv , giving each locality the one it
prefers. Miss Tanner will ohii with "One
Krror" at Now York for 11 six wesiks run, be
ginning in August. Thue'oiiiiauy w ill event
