Very few politicians, though, save any money, and its n mystery to me how some of them live. When n man once gets a taste of public life it is liable to, ruin him. it is like an Insidious diseae re sulting from tho indulgence of one's pnlate. Once in ofllco a mnn always hankers nfter it ngnin. The great trouble is that one is lured on by tho fnscluntiou of tlio tiling to spend the best years of his life in chasing this Ignis fntuus, nnd when lie finally ncknowledgi i to himself that he is n back number hn finds that he is unfitted for miy other money mak ing pursuit, ami ho lias no capital oven if he I were. No, my boy, tnko the advice of one who has been through it and don't go Into I IKjlitics." A gentleman who has Just returned from Mexico tells of a wonderful rock which seems to have contracted the habit of fore telling rain storms. It Is about five i feet high and ten feet long. It protrudes from the ground and stands alone in n fer tile little valley. Ordinarily it is of a dull, grayish color. Tho surfnee Is smooth, as though it hnd been polished, mid it feels cold. About twenty-four hours before n lain the I rock gradually warms, reaching a tempera . r...... ...... j ,.... .. ....,.. tureof sixty degrees, nnd lis color turns led. After the rain It returns to Its orlclual con- Aiiti me lain ii returns to us or giuai ion dition. During o thunder stoi in it emits a pale blue light, which is supjKised to be elec trical origin. A Boston paper has been making an invest igation which shows that hundreds of New England forms nre nbpndomil. No wonder with the magnificent funning lands that Ne braska and other western states offer. Down east tho rocks are so thick that tlio farmers have to sharpen the noses of their sheep. Out. here why, tho son laughs with n crop if tickled with a stick. mSMMi l( Tho enercetlc vnunir B pcciesoi eguusiu. j'" . rlbli hUlsofNew &,e. ! se Riunte who didn't want to impress less ". ..!, ";..e.T"?

The Chlcngo Tribune of lust Sunday had n dispatch from Davenport, Iowa, exploiting a young lady of that city nu tho first woman appointed nn olllcial court reporter. Whllo may be the first female stenographer in a district court, n position she lias held less than two years, Miss Cora Outcalt of this city enjoys the distinction of being the fhst woman to rejiort a supremo court regularly and officially. Her term of service antedates that of tlio Davenport lady by teveral years, and Lincoln's representative Is ono of best stenographers In the business. ll"' What an enterprising set of fellows these Chicago men me! One of them has Just bought a building and is going to put it to a use that apparently was never dreamed of in any other city. Tlio building will be giv en up to traveling men for sample room?. The hotels of Chicago are already overcrowd ed, and tlio projector of this novel scheme thinks thei euro enough traveling uio'.i from eastern cities to fill Ills place and make It profitable. Each suite of rooms n ill have n bed and other conveniences, so that it will lx) n sort of a hotel, but the sample room Is tho main idea. An odd arrangement, isn't itf It sometimes seems as though the limit of the maudlin in society would never lie reach ed. A swell woman down east has given a pussy party for her cat. Engraved carda were issued and sent to tlio owners of other felines In her catships set. Said owners, all women, met at the time and place ileslgna ted and watched their claw-footed ts "out in society". The affair wound up with re-I freshnientb" for the cats. Imagine, if jou can, tho society women of Lincoln or any other western city, going through such a per formance as that. And yet those people down east affect a superiority that's quite chilling. What rot some newspapers do print! Hero is a sample extract from an article going the rounds; "One doesn't hear much about it, but a great, many of tho well-dressed men of today wear corsets. It Is sad, but tine, that n" lnrgefmujority of tho society fops who poso as models of masculine beauty me as completely mudo up as any hall-room hello with her touches of paint mid powJer, Ac cording to tailors, who ought to know, moio than half of tho straight-bucked, handsomely formed A polios with whom unsuspecting maidens fall in love owe their symmetry ol figure to genuine whalebones mid steels,1' 1 venture the opinion that there isiiot a gentle man in Lincoln who ever know of a man wealing corsets, or who was over told by n truthful friend that tho latter hnd iorsonal knowledge of such n man. If tills sort of thing was nt nil common some man out of the thousands In tills city would hnvo. run across it cno of it. There limy bo 11 few cases whero men, llko actors, mny for somo special reason wear a contrivance similar to corsets, but tho papers which Kinder to a morbid do situ for the unreal seek to make it ap'ur that the custom is general. The article quotid above says that "more than half tlio handsomo A polios" nro made up in that way. What ai-ranf. nonsense nnd sickening rot that Is to dish U)i to intelligent people! In nli college towns wo find nmoiig tlio res idents n tendency towards Intellectual pur suit for entertainment. Tlio literary club inltHVniious forms nourishes, nnd in Its functions a considerable; number of persons Hud that social element which human nature seems to crave the world ovor. Tills seems to be title, in n measure, of Lincoln also, al though its college element Is ovoishadowod by that which Is purely commercial. Only the other day a club compost d of ladles held a meeting nnd from the published procet I Ings it apiienrs that they discussed such sub jects us these: "Tho Aryan Controversy," "The Asiatic Theory of tlio Origin of the Hace," "Wavo Theory of Hchmldt" and "My thology of tho Aryans." Now tho things wo do not know nliout those old Aryans would fill n library, and what we do know about them we have mostly guested at. I grant you that these nneient ancestors of ours mnke an entertaining study for those who have a jienchant for ologles, but, Just tho Mine, 1 can't help wondering what benefit this misty speculation Is to common-everyday people In this practical age of ours. It is dollars to doughnuts that somo of tho good women who belong to this club will feel Indignant, lieeause they will jump at conclusions by inferring Hint the foregoing h a reflection upon them or their club. I Wait n hit. Their work was onlv used as a text, nnd leads up to another thought. In conversation with a highly educated gentle .., the otlmr dny he mndo this assert Ion: "Except for men pursuing l'nes of work thnt nbholuteiy require n special preparation line doctors, lawyers, civil engineers, etc., ikiok learning beyond that of tho public school cuts no figure in n man's success in life.

If we run ncross a mngnzlne or a newspnjier nrtlclo advancing some new the ory about the Aryans there is a mental pleasure in having nlready known something of tho subiect. If we run ncross somo old j crank wt o makes a hobby of the Aryans, I there is n keen jiersounl gratification in ho ling able to meet him on his own giound comment understandlngly and impress him with our learning.

The chief value therefore, of knowing things consists in knowing them. Should any of my renders not agree with me in this, The Couhieh columns nro open to them for discussion. The Almltflity Hollar.

The enterprise of this move rellects great credit iimki the firm whoso iiamo l si very popular in Lincoln and oqieolully Just now, which Is caused by tho great advance ment that tho llrm Is making in commorcia I circles.

Ileie there Is no such feeling, and tho plot of the play will be watched lather for the love story iiinnliig through It, than for its polities. Manager Ki oilman's company handled the play-mas-ter's woik splendidly, and the play achieved a well mellted success, Tho Ihst public iHTforinunoo of l'letro Museugnl's "Cavullerlii Uustlehm" or "Huh tie Chlwili')" at the Casino took place on Monday evening, and tho young coniiosers woik locelved enthusiastic endorsement. It Is charmingly original mid accompanied by a depth ol feeling and a certain abandon which coiitjK-1 first attention and then admir ation.

"The Patrol," an American melodrama by Scott Marble, sug gest d by the Tascott-Snell Chicago trog' ,ly, was In ought totowu by Manager Cud Given tu and presented at the People's Theatre. The scenes of the play show how skillfully the Chicago iwllco track down a murderer, and nn excellent feature of the performauco is tliv patrol station, depleting tho life of tlio hluecouts when not on duty.

Du.ni.oi'. "Our Iilsh Visitors', Murray and Murphy's great success was produced at Funke's Mon day evening to an appreciative but top henvy audience. Tho piece has undergone but few changes, mid iilthougli Mr. Murphy is no longer in the cast his place is admira bly filled by Mr. J. L. Davis. Mr. Murray is the kiiiu Jolly, rollicking, comedian and continues to draw applause loud and fre quent. Tliesupiortliig company Is fair, ex cept the female portion which is lather weak. "Fritz" the dutchmmi, lias a clover dialect and the dude character was n good piece of acting. However, the show with out Murray would lie a dismal affair, but with him "Our Irish Visitors" may make the rounds tor a number of seasons yet and meet with geueious success. "A Social Session" was given Tuesday night before a small audience. It Is a con glomeration of fun mid nonsense in which theio nro some met itorlous points mid some otherwise. It seemed to please tho js-ople present. . ,Im beau's "Starlight" ns pnsenlcd at Hi Funke Wednesday evening was substantially the same as tlio previous exhibitions of the absurdities which have been heeu in this city. A number of changes have been made in tho supixirtlug company, but the average remains unchanged. The songs and steelal ties aro as ot yore.

To foimuhito it character for Mr. llutsell which should successfully follow his admlras bly artistic ieiforninucoof Noah Vnlo in "A Poor Relation" was not an easy task. Ills therefoio gratifying to know that Mr. Edw, E. Kidder, the author lias In "Peaceful Val ley," met with success lu giving Mr. Hussell another great character in wiilcli ho has found another artistic nud financial triumph. lu this now play the ndiulrublo com Han has created tho character of "Hosea Howe" a native of the White Mountains. Full of In tegrity, nobility of soul, with absolute scorn of vice, yet with keenest sense of humor and quaintest methods of Imparting it, Hosea stands llko a rock amid the shifting nud ex citing scenes. The play, it is said, is full of the spirit of humanity and creates Interest I Kith In lis comlu nnd pathetic portions. Mr. Hussell has surrounded himself with ono of tlio strongest suportlug companies ou the road and the (day Is mounted with sieclal scenery. Tho oipennina lu this city of Sol.

On Thursday evening this laughable piece, lu a reconstructed form and freshened by the Introduction of much new music nud many specialties, songs, dances, etc. will ! prtscutcd ut Funko's The most solemn-minded of men cannot resist the temptation to laugh at It. The Philadelphia Ledger says: "One might as well hope to successfully photograph a laugh as to describe "Skipped by the Light of the Moon," or say why It Is funny.

The successful play, "The Still Alarm.'' will be seen at Funko's Fiiday and Saturday evenings, mid ll Is safe to say that the house will lie accorded two largo audiences. The cast tills season is better than ever liefore. Nothing ill the way of sensational leallsllc episode lias over been shown that can equal it. Mr. Joseph Aitliur must lie given credit for originality and novelty In his well-written drama. There is nothing ainmig the hupMHiings of everyday life in it great lue ttoK)lis tliat aw iikeus so much interest as the work of the gallant fireman mid the dashing of the engines through the streets drawn by !owcrful, spirited horse always attracts the attention of the thrones, So t is little wonder that a similar scene with a real engine and real horses should, when seen ou the mimic stage, iimil-o an audience to tile highest pitch of euthusia-m "Tho Still Alarm," outside of its sensational element, is a cleverly w i itten play. Tho story lias a charming and natural love element I mining through it. Vlrt'io triumphs over vice, tlio villain meets his just de-orts and a happy denouncement brings down the curtain.
