ImliofT wero draped in tho symbols of mourning last Sun day ami the awolnnplrltig emblem of tho black and whlto rosette fluttered from tho massivo doors. Snowy flowers of deliouto perfume wero tanked upon tho tables, and nrouud tho cnblnet pictures, resting on tho mantel was twined a wreath of bright green verdure. For death had dared to enter even that pretty and pleasant home, and claim from Hniong Its Inmates tho ono whoso leaso on lifo had seemed most secure. Dr. Joseph U. Imuoft breathed his last atll:ir Saturday night at tho early ago of SM years, 10 months and S3 days. Deceased was born In Nebraska City and camo to tills city with his pai cuts when but six years old. Tho golden days of his Ixiyhood were spent in Lincoln, and as a !oy ho is rememliorcd by his countless friends, and tho friends of his (Mirents, with warm feelings of affection and odmiiatlou. He is remembered as a good boy, a manly, studious uud dutiful son whose memory is ever fragrant of affection and kindness. After graduating from tho Lincoln high school ho entered the Pemuyl vanla Military Academy, where ho won first rank lu scholarship. He had wonderful ap plication anil was a close and apt student, and at the close of his courso at tho Jefferson Medical college of Philadelphia, where he went to fit himself for his chosen profession, his superior sUtalnments were attested by tho bestowel upon him by tho faculty of tho gold medal, a mark of rare merit. Ho fur ther prepared himself by a courso of hospi tal work In Now York and uftor a reason able time spent in travel settled down to the practice of his profession at Hoanoke, Va. His merit as a physician wo soon recognized and a large practice was growing constantly larger and more Imperative in its demands upon his attention and skill. In his zeal to ensure the health of others he neglected his own and even continued to practice after he was stricken with typhoid fever until the forobearance of neglected nature was ex hausted. Whfn he Anally was forced to succumb, be was ready to come home to die, for he was aware of his danger. A friend accompanied him on the long journey, and when he reached tho home of his parents there was no longer any hope of his recovery even with the tenderest and most skillful care. The obsequies occurred Tuesday after noon and were very Impressive. Dr. C. C. Losby of St. Paul church returned from Col orado to conduct the ceremonies, which were attended by a largo concourse of friends nicludlng many families of early residents in Lincoln. The casket was Ixirno to the grave by Messrs. Will Hardy, Harry Peckham, W, 0. McArthur, Daniel Wing and Dr. Finney, while Misses Thoo. Laws, Clara Walsh, draco Grifilii and Jo Winger bore to the grave the rich and numerous floral offerings. Tho death of this promising young man has been n severe affliction to his parents, who have the sincere sympathy of all acquaintances. At last enterprise lias touched one of Lin coln's most promising potslbllities and a com pany has been formett for the erection of a sanitarium or bath house In which tho medi cinal propel ties of the salt water abounding here are to be utilized for the physical bet terment of suffering mankind. For years it has been known, wrhaps more generally abroad than hero at home, that tne brine that has bubbled so freely from natural and artificial surface outlets in this vicinity pos sesses medicinal powers rarely equalled in mineral waters, and some local firms have for years realized a substantial revenue from the shipment of the water abroad In jugs. Many people from Chicago and other poInU who in their travels have chanced to enjoy warm baths in Lincoln salt water, have been known to make periodical trips to this city to renew them, claiming that they were more beneficial for certain classrsof ailments than any baths or remedies they had encoun tered anywhere else. In the tieutmeut of such ailments as skin diseases and blood poisoning some local physicians have aston ished e eu themselves by the cures they huve been enabled to effect by the use of the warm sail baths. With these evidences of the won dei ful efllcncy of this water known to hun dreds of people, the only wonder is that it has remained until this late day awaiting the lecognition or men of means, enterprise aryl Bclentinattalnnieute to develop It. All that Is necessary to develop the healthglvlpg properties of this water Is to warm it and put It where it can be used. V The company just organized comprises Dr M. II. Everett, Dr. H. M. Garten, Dr. J. O. Everett mid Mr. A. C. Zlemer. They have purchased two lotr on tho southeast corner of Fourteenth and M streets, a decidedly pleasant and convenient location, and have all eady begun the erection thereon of a hand some structure covering the entire ground, 100x142 feet. It will bo two stories above ground with a basement, equipped with every facility and comfort for giving MO baths per day, Tuiklsh, Honinn, Russian, massage and electric, or sits, shower or plunge. The plung bath will be 40x150 feet in the clear and from two and one-half to eight feet deep. Each floor will be separated, one side being reserved for lady patrons. The structure, a handsome one, will be of an attractive style of uichiteclure and tlie alls hi e to be made of i ed rock-faced bi Ick with ornate trimmings of red stone. It will cost MO.OOO with equipments, which will be as complete as money can make it. Dr. M, II, Everett has spent some time recently to the study of cmveulences in many similar institutions In the east with a view of secur ing the best. Henlso submitted wimples of the water to men of scientific excrieuce, unci it was Invariably pi ououueed to possess su pel lor qualities. The new cempnny is culled the Sulpho-Saline Until Company. There is no potslble doubt of its sucters. Lit coin citizens and isltors ore promised a piodlglous u.mictil (Ciiililimtlon dining fair week, An oigunlzntion termed u union exists among Nebraska Iwinds, and large cash prizes have been offered by the fair managers for competition in music, oien to bands belonging to tho organization. It Is said that thirty or thirty -five bands will 1ms present. It Is prOKsed to have them join forces for a street arado or concert, and the sensation promised the lover of muslo will undoubtedly Iw such as would mako tho Inimitable Levy wrltho In mortal ngony. There will be from !W0 to 3.W pieces, good, bad and Indifferent, and little experience Is needed to Impress ono with tho belief that tho bad and Indifferent will predominate. Hut the sniVfAcln. reimnllnM nf lu nnrlmilnr effect, will bo worth going miles to seo. That same old faku, "give you a write-up If you take enough books" has again been worked on the unsophisticated Lincoln litinl ness man, and it's not tho first time, either. "They've all been there before, many atlmo," but extorIenco seems to tench them nothing . This time It Is "mju and sunlight pictures of Lincoln" and It govs again to answer the query "what's in a u nmel ' (lenorally noth ing. A pretty co vor on tho book, a slick talker and the work is done. After It comes out and Is delivered tho victim howls agilu and sas he won't pay for the work they're not what he ordered, etc. All this time the fakir has a contract rending simply "wo agree to pay $ for number of books," and he generally gets his pay. The business man goes out and kicks himself, swears he'll give the next fake a wide berth and after a short time he's right In It again. These fakes never toko out less than from f 1,000 to fA,0(X), yot let a local enterprise lie suggested to the samo advertisers that patronize the fakp, It would recelvo but a bare support and prove unprofitable to the projectors. It takes tho keen-wltta!, glllKongued, stylishly dressed fakir to mako n success of such work. Tho clock advertising scheme, tho revlow of Lincoln, tho full information and time card fake, and numerous others that come todny mid go tonight, are the successful m;n of tho moment. Members of tho uniformed rank Knights of PythlaB In Lincoln havo every reason to congratulate themselves on tho impresrfou they havo created concerning Lincoln hospi tality. The 200 visiting members of the or der who'nssembled lu Lincoln last Sunday to embark together to the great Kansas City meeting all spoke in terms or highest praise of the cour tesles shown them while hero. The people of Lincoln have chased alxiut tho world so persistently during the past summer In the wake of tho railroad rate wars that tho city has been drained continuously of hundreds of her citizens. But the time. npiears to have come for a halt, and thoso now left nt home npiear to have determined to remain at home, wherefore tho recent cut rates to Chicago ami St. Louis found re markubly few takers. Tho rnto to Chicago wasdvarfed by cutting off $4.(1") from tho regular faro each way. To St. Louis tho cut was fS.'i.'t each way.

You would smllo If you might seo mo now. ns I am sitting here on a West Madison street cable car with a noto look of pink lined paper balanced very ndroltly on one knoo. Tho jieoplo with whom I am trnnsMrted to nud from the city every day regard me ns a mono-mnulna on tho subject of writing, I guess, as I nlways havo my noto hook and pencil with mo writing as If for dear life. They have sized me up as either a lunntln or nu authoress. There Is but little difference. Is thoro not? You behold In mo Jut nt this moment a bitterly disappointed person. Tho reason I Well I'll tell you. When I hoarded tho car at Ln Sallo street, I noticed ono of tho pretti est girls I ever saw In Chicago, or out of it, sitting some dlstanco ahead with her faco townrds me. Tho coloring of her counto nanco was beautiful (and, moio surprising fact In Chicago- erfectly natural) her featured wore perfect. Sho was dressed well, that Is fairly well, and her lint was a "triumph of the mlllinor's art." I studied tier, when I might without rudeness, nud I came to the conclusion that sho was Just charming. Hut woo is me! Sho rose to leave tho car. Deluslonol Sho his the pro verbial Chicago woman's foot; wears red shoes, ahd her dress Is Just short enough to mako very conspicuous tho fnct that she turns her toes In when she walks. I turn to these notes with a sigh. Who would have believed it I Tho local papers speak dismally of the "soup" that Chicago theatre goors havo hnd dished up for weeks, One cannot hlntno them. Of courso the summer season Is usually not so brilliant as the legulnr season but a series of attractions like the "Trip to the Circus," "Natural Gas," "Itoyal Pass," "Nothing Hut Money, "The Junior Part ner," and "Tho Volunteer," Is absolutely aw ful to contemplate. Take the first men tioned play It was nothing more nor less than a clear steal from "Country Circus," nud it was not up to ft In any way. A ballet at a circus, n circus on the stage, any thing out of the usual line, is sure to catch the crowds, but grows hopelessly stalo lu a week or ten days. With all their Improve ments (und they were numerous) "'A Trip to the Circus," like t ho 'Volunteer." Is not a good first class play. Mrs. Pacheco. who wrote "Incog," which is clever, (never a doubt of thnt,) miido a dire failure of "Noth ing Hut Money " Lederer'B stock company that was pre senting this at tho Grand has taken up a new play this week entitled "Divorce Day," and the paperr speak well of It. 1 havo not seen It, so cannot tell you my opinion of it. Speaking of opinions, ono of Chicago's boat known dramatic men called at our olllce tho other day when "Tho Junior Partner" was first put on, and in a general theatrical cen versutlnu I asked him what kind of a write up lie would give it. Ho replied with great gusto and much brevity, "Hoast." I asked him If he had soon It. He replied that he had not. but that every one else hail scored It, and ho could not do anything else. I had to smile. Such independence. In this case, however, the "roast" was meilted. How people with as much talent and as favorable reputations dramatically f peaking as Henry Miller, May Irwin, Hugh Tolaud and Mr. McKco Ilankiu, can waste their tnnoon a play like "The Junior Partner" remains a mystery. The curtain raiser "Frederic Lemaitre" is an exquisite little production, but the main play Is grossly common, even vulgar, Wo shall soon have something better, in fact, next week Frohmau's "Limt Paradise" company will pluy a long engagement at tho "Columbia." Their cast contains the name of William Morris, and that to many of Chicago's fair sex is a name to conjure by. He is a splendid fellow, and it Is our inten tion to hire a box for the whole engagement. He takes a peculiar part for him who Is prone to have puts assigned to him, that represent him nt the top of the social ladder, but lu this play he Is tho mill superintend ent. This company will also preno it 11 new play entitled "The Councilor's Wife," w lilch is very highly sioken of by the dramatic clitics. "All Haba" Is still succeeding. In fact It will ever succeed for it 1ms already succeeded I Ic passed Its 100th crforman ce August 17th, and 011 that evening presented each guest with a souvenir In the shape of a folio with fourteen half tone cuts of tho favorite members of the company lu cos tume.

"Charity Hall," "Squire Kate," "Lady Hcuntlful" und "The Wlte" will bo the repetolio for the live weeks. Ihadnemly forgotten our own Chicago play "On 'Change," written bv a Chicago boy and girl, presented chiefly by Chicago people repiesentlng the Chicago board of trade witnessed by audiences of enthusias tic citizens of Chicago. Joseph lluwoith took the part of Hen lieekinan, the hero, who was simply a clerk on board of trade, but whose heart whs in tho right place. He wus great I Not one word did he utter that whs not natuial and proper for the diameter he represented. And slang) Only 01 a Chicago youth can meusuie it off yard utter jurd. He wus one of that kind of fellows who said 'ever seen" and "havo saw," who ulwuys pounded the sofa pillows us Hut as pun cukes when things didn't go to suit him, and who was coiihUiitly belli,; corrected by nit mother. I wisli I hud time to tell you the whole Moiy, but undoubtedly on hnve road the ieiuwuf It elaewheie. It wus a very Jull iiiteitsilug cieullou und made A de cided hit heie.

A compromise was sug estcd on twenty-llvo cents n night, but not acoeptsl by the "slaves." Finally on promise of full iny they allowed the "gamo to go on" and It went, to the finale. Twenty llvo cents was again offered and Indignantly refused, on which a wild scrap ensued and fornbout thirty minute the vestibule, of tho theatre and the pavement In front of It was a scene of the wildest confusion.
