was inserted in thu foimur estimate. Just
how thnt could liedoue Is n problem unsolved,
but that It would bo nquiitil wnsuvlnced by
discussions in thu recent campaign. Again
tlie old proKsitioll contemplated u -HI foot
right of wny, much more than necessary, as
thu proiosed ditch did not averogo lialf that
width. l'roierty ownets in those, localities
subject to overflow cannot but renllu that
an assurance of immunity in that respect
would multiply pi esent values, and if they
would secure that assurance must lto willing
to share in the cost of it moiu heavily than
the owner of projierty which is not threat
ened. Meantime, the coinmissioucis of tliu
sanitary district have thu lawful authority
to levy a five mill annual tux on all projiei ty
in thu district for hotter sewerage. Will
they do it?
Wlnle Congressman llrynn is contending
for an nppiopi iatioii with which to muku thu
Platte navigable, hu may well remember
onu other Important avenue of cxienso
which such a consummation would entail.
Were the I'latte rendered navigable It would
be necessary to provide for tho defense of
Nebraska cities from foreign tin anion. Just
now theio is a gtcat deal of clamor lor coast
defenses along thu shorts of the great lakes
to protect us from Invasion from Canada.
Were tho I'latte navigable, what In the name
of common set so is theru to protect Col. Hob
Mclleyroltls, when he shall luivu donned his
fighting Mexican harness, from taking ad
vantage of high tide in Salt creek, sailing up
to the Ncbinsku capital and bombarding thu
police station or Skinner's livery stable If
Congressman Hiyiin succeeds in making thu
I'latte navigable, and he is about as likely to
do so as any cue is toevcr muku thuMtssouii
so, although u gunt deul of public money
has been squandered on thu latter pretense ,
hu must not neglect thu coast defense busi
ness, for Ins hrmu city is bent on enjoying
nil modern advantages, airs and luxurlus.
Lincoln has uceutly achieved cjusitlciublu
distinction as ii inaritimu city and her peo
pie hno learned a great deal about nnviga
tion us u science.
It is not a Mattel ing commentary upon tho
capital city that she has allowed her baxo
ball team to go liinco in disticss,aud weru it
not for the insiiireiablu weather that has
lietn vouchsafed this section tliu ladies of
Lincoln would ceitalnly be iKpilud to bear
their shai oof the opprobrium. And no in
consldelnblo thaie would it be. No base luill
team can thtivu in any city unless it lu
ceives tho support of the ladles, and even the
cranks among Lincoln's fair ner lent the en
courngt meiit of their presence lu nppi eciuhlu
ntimbeiH at a gumu this season. Under such
circumstances of courso tho team could not
play ball, and of course, also, ery few of
the sterner sex found time and Inclination to
attend. In sport, as in work, thu piesenco
and oppioal of thu fair sex stimulates the
zeal of thu champion nnd develops hidden
merit. The base ball manager who placed n
few dummies In the grand stand clad In ie
splendent millinery had a head so level that
n cheimei board would tit it. Should a west
ern association team comu to Lincoln some
thing must bo done to ielo tho Intel est of
tho ladles in baseball if it would live in Lin
coln. Mj ron I'riitt, the slajer of Mrs. Srry,
has n mest dlnnal prospect befoiu him. It
is his misfortune that his was not thu only
tragic killing thnt litis occuned leveutly in
Lincoln, and he must bear tho burnt of pub
lic Indignation for all of them. Aheady the
newspapers liavo started in editorially to
ensure to I'ratt the severest punishment with
in the gift of the courts by hammering o er
1'iutt's well-burdenid shoulders the sort of
justice that has bten dispensed heretofoie in
inurdtr cases, and Mr. Strode is likely to re
uliiro tliat his success in former cases will
hamper him in this one. Thu time honored
maxim that it weie better that iiiiiety-iiluu
guilty men escupu than that one innocent
man si culd sutrer has i un its course, uppai
entry, fur the public is not piepaied at this
day to contemplate with patience and equa
nimity thd escupo of tlie guilty, even to tho
extent of a veiy few, and theiu is an impies
siou pie vailing that too many murdeieisaru
escaping their duetts. Theietoio It Is going
to be a pietty ditllcult thing for Myiou
I'ratt to seem u un unbiased henrli.g in this
ccininiinity while the public piem is limping
upon tlie iiumber of muuleiers who hau
goiieunwhlpped of justice, and no ono need
be surprlstd should his counsel seek to secure
a change of vinue, using thu utteiancea of
' tho newspapers as uwdt lice to back up his
claims.
Ihe uggregntion of budding amateur tal
intjileptd (lie Lincoln bill team has beun
tiansfeiiul to Kearney, and few Indeed uiu
tlie unlets eipietud In Lincoln, for outsldu
of the fuel that they had begun by peislst
tutly w lulling defeat, their presence lu Lin
coln was not hiilltd as a cmiso for impulur
rejoicing, It n ay be pure presumption on
the lilt of local pationsof tlilssupoibsHit,
but withal there was a sentiment oeiywheu
expreseil thnt Lincoln should evince higher
aspliatlons than to sliluu ns tall ender in a
state league. She has trotted In swifter
classes and It looked like mi acknowledgment
of past piesiimptioii when she cntoicd the
state lenguu movement. There Is a suspicion
extant among knowing ones that Lincoln
will soon Iki invited to accent n fi'iiichlso in
thu western association Whether she may
ever locelvo such an Imitation or not, lion
over, cuts no sigulllcant llguio in the pi esent
situation. She has been lu pietty go nI base
bull company and U content 1 1 lest on hei
laurels. She will not dis'ionor the mommy
of her former gbry, uuprolltably exisMishu
though it was, and will play no hull until she
can do ns well again, or better.
To tlio observant pel sou who koip in
funned of what Is tlauspiriiig by cisoiial
liivestlgatlon It Is painfully apptrent that
MUS. V. V.
thu good people w ho never attend them do
not Isegln to leull.o the balieftlllKss of tile
public ball. Of coiir-o theiu may bu excep
tions, but tlie public ball as a rule should Ih
frowned down, nnd when fiowns aru no
longer effective moio uigent di-couiage-ineuts
should be Invented anil Intel posed, It
Is safe tosay that theie aru a louiid liuu
tlied dunces in Liniolii eveiy year which
should not be, or lather should not have
liecu, peiuiitted. It requires but a moderate
acqimintniifu to enable one to enter tliu uvui
ugu public ball mid at oucu descry iuiiocunco
enclicled by thu in ms of Satan, tlie pure and
thu vicious clasping ardent and fi fetidly

that chariict'rUes the aveingu public ball

the earnest luotherhotxl ,. lay is striving
to shield her son from tlio evils of Iiitemer

Moudii), Tuesday ami Wednesday of this
week the sixth annual musical festival given
by the Lincoln Uiatmlo soclot took place In
tho Lansing theutie. In foi met') ears thu so

with good weather mid good foituuo Thu
leading siugeis wlih sciucelv nil exception

evei, the liiins dcx'tnili-d, thu Moods came,
and the winds blew lltsldes, two of thu
principals fell slcli on the cwinf thu festival.
Mr, (lis n gu Kllswoith Holmes, huillouo, of
Chlciuo, was unable to appear at nil, mid
Siguor Ciliipiiilnl, though hu was seen, was
so ludlsp isimI on ncoiiiit of a set Ions atlnck
of iheimiiitism in ouu of Ids feet thill he was
not heaid to mi) advantage lint the Oiii
M. RAYMO.NI)
tor lo society uns not to he outdone by the
elements or by misfortune. Tho conceitM
pioceedtd in spltu of thu udversu clrctiui
stances. Mr. John Morley.of Chicago, took
theplacuof Mr. Holmes, ami Mr. Seamark
of ourcity pioveil his excetsllng usefulness
by adapting himself to any p-itt that lacked
ii pel former.
Monday evening Cow en's "Sleeping llenu
tv," a cantata, ivas leudered. Thu ietfoiiu
mice was a very meiitorioiis onu all tilings
coiisldeied. At tlie beginning thu oi chest rn
and chorus si eimsl n little neivniis, but as
tlie woik piogiesscsl this leellni; wore away
mill all entered hem tlly into their pints.
Tliei o in u no striking melodies in thu cuntutn,
neither is theio much oppommlty for tliu
cliorus todispluy its M)vver. Tho object of
tlie i'oiiiHiser wns evldontly to .uveul not tho
giandeiirbiit the ilellc.icy or music as mi in
lerpreterot life. One of the finest featuies
of tliu caiitatu is thu orchestiatlon, and I
think It may be safely said that no Lincoln
orchestia ever acquitted more ciedltahly
than diil tlie ouu on Monday night. Thu part
of thu Princess was sung by Mrs. Lnwson,
thu Wicked Fay by Mrs. Flsk, thu Prlncu by
Ciiinpanliil and the King by Mr. Senmnrk.
Tuesday uvonlng was devoted to a miscel
laneous comvit As in former years this
pioved to bo ono of the most jsapular fea
tuies of the festival. Tlio singing of Mrs.
lnwson, Mis. Flsk mid Mr. Morley wusof a
high guide of excellence, and tliu nudiencu
gnve abundant evidence of Its hearty appre
ciation of thu woi k of these artists.
Tlio choius of misses shown "with its
usual splendor. Nothing could bo nioro
sweet mid ilfectlng than Its rendition of
"Sleep, Little llady of Mine." Another very
enjoyable number of tho evening wus "A
Dutch Lullabv" iwimU by Kugeno Field), as
sung by Mrs. Lnwson uud tho adult chorus.
Wedntsday evening was given to thu
"Messiah," nnd though there weiu soiuu very
ninny unngs in inu Hiioiiuuuce, still taken
'nsu wliole it wnsby far the In-st presuntn
tlou tills gieat ouitoi lo has ever hail liuforu
thu public of Lincoln. The choiiiscs weie
sung with telling ciTcct, Mis. Luwson mid
Mrs. Fisk ciowntd their iilieady brilliant
lecord in such nils as "Comu Unto Him,"
"Itejolce Gieatly, O Daughter of .Ion," mid
"He wus Despised and Kejectud by Men."
Mr. Moiley ucciiltted libnself with gieat
crulit in such dllllcult iolusns"Tho People
tliat Walked in Dm hiiess" and "Why Do the
Heathen Huge," Mr. Senium k not only dem
unstinted Ids ability to meet mi eineigency,
but hu pioved his true mtistlc instinct and
mastery lu tlie pleasing maimer in which hu
sang tho tho lecitutlve, "Comfort Ye, My
People," mid tliu aicompaii) mg air, "F.v'iy
Valley Shall lie Kxalted." Special mention
should bu Hindu also of thu orchestia lu this
connection and ot the very happy way in
which It i formed tho I'liuous "Pastoial
Symphony.
ilut lioiepoil of thu festival would be
complete without a iiieiitiou of tlioso pel sous
who havu uiitdu it what it is. And Hist
nniong these is Mrs. 1. V. M. Kayinond.
The Cdl'ltlKIt has ginced this issue with a
cut of this eneigetlc wouian. Shu may in a
veiy just senso tie said to bu tlio Uiatorio so
ciety, for she lias made it what it is. She
has nut only held the choius together but it
bus grown in nuiiiheis uud ulllcluiioy under
her dliectlou anil supervision, 'lliu May
Festival Is a thing of her cieutlou. Were
she not in Lincoln thu people uf this city
would not lmo thu privilege of enjo)ing
this minimal musical feast. Fuw can leali.o
how much it costs to enrry thiougli snoli uu
enteipiiso mid to make it so uniformly sue
C'essliil, It is rale that one las tho skill,
lact, judgment, determination, Intelligence
tMm$tfflm.mmhmMiM

Ku) inoiitl Hissesses all these tpmlhlcntlons In
happy combination, llencuthu May Festl
vnl mid nil it menus lu tliu way of it purified
nuil uplifted life lo this city mid surrounding
country.
Mrs. Itaymoiids work has furnished aw Ide
imigu of otutoi lo and concert music. Under
her tllriH'tlou the following woi ks have lieeu
given:
Onul's "Holy fit)" (!l pel foi mances),
HninM's "Judas .MnccalHi'iis."

tlatlu's "Cuisitdtiis."

CowenV "Sift plug lleauty "
Mendelssohn's "II) mil or Praise "
Ami various mlscellalieous concerts.
Next to Mrs, Haymoiid liieutlon Is duo to
Mis, Will Owen Jones, the accompanist of
thu soclet) One of those women Is not mo re
faithful than the other, nor more piilustuk
lug and conscientious In whatever lieu Is to
bo done. Week after week Mis. Jones has
been found faithful at her pist of duty ac
coinpinylng the leheuisals of thu society
with lino appreciation mid patience. Audi
mtst tr)lng ofnll herilulies is thu woik le
tpiiieilat the liiheelliiieiius conceits when
each singer riom iilirond must be aecconi I
panUil iii his or her own peculiar way Hut I
to all these things Mrs. Jones has pioved
herself abundantly equal. i
Mlsi Stella litre, the organist during thu
festival, acted In this capacity for thu 11 1st
tlnio this ) ear. Her woi k was all that was
to bo desired mid contributed Its duo share I
toward thu ultimate success.
Thu puhll mo worthy a word too, right '
huie, for It mutters not how much a fuw may
labor for such uu entei prise If It Is not apple
elated nnd If thu people do not ress)iid to '
the demand made of them then llttlu can bu
done. Hut thu Lincoln Koplu have iesHiuilcd
generously and ehtsji fully in this matter.
They hiivo contributed their money mid
their pi eseticu to muku thu festival thu suc
cess it has uver Isuou. Only ouu thing re ,
mains to bu remembered and that is that '
Lincoln Is not at thu unit but neitrely at thu '
beginning or its musical cureer. It can taku i
tliu highest rank In such matters only by its '
continued nndMirslstontllili'llty. I
