By rccpust, next Sunday Dr. Hritt
will preach mrning and evening
on "Christian Baptism not Regen
eration." These pennons will be of
great interest to ull who think upon
this question, and all are invited to
listen to the discussion.
Attention Young Fepeblloan.
The young men's republican club
will tit Id their adjourned meeting
Friday February 2(5 at the council
chamber for the purpose of electing
officers and the transtction of such
other business m may come before
it
The Nobs Family.
The Nobs family will appear at
he Waterman opera house Thurs.
ay, February 23. Seats are now on
ale. The following is what the
Daily News of Morris, Illinois, has
to pay of them:
"Talk about a big house and a
good performance. The second ap
pearance of the Noss Family here
attracted one of the finest and
largest audiences that ever saw the
curtain rise in Morris. The musical
comedy, "A Cjuick Match," con
tained plenty of fun. It is not a
company with one star and a lot of
wooden men and women for sup
port, but every member is an
, artist."
New Appointments.
Governor Boyd yewterdey re
moved Dr. Knapp from the asylum
for the insane at Lincoln. Dr.
Knapp, who has served aH superin
tendent of that institution ever
since the adminstrator of Governor
Dawes, has the reputation of hav
ing conducted the institution in a
faultless manner, and his removal
was made merely for parzsan rea
sons. Dr. Charles H. Manning, of
Lincoln, succeeds him.
The governor also re-organized
Omaha's lire and police company
mission by C. V. Gallagher, vice
Chris llartman, removed; Geo. W.
Shield, vice G. II. Gilbert, removed;
William Coburn was appointed to
succeed himself of the republican
member of the board and D. Clem
Deliver will in all probabilitybe ap
pointed in place of Howard H.
Smith.
Whither We Are Drifting.
Whither is the drama of our day
drifting. Dollarward and down
ward some will say. Too much
vulvar comedy. Too much kicking
nnd too little talking; too much tin
wel, and too little gold. Hut who's
to blame? Frivolity made a hit, and
frivolity reigns where pathos per
ished in the cold waves of public
indifference. Farce flourishes
where legitimate drama starves to
leath. Forms Hit where talent lan
guished. Lithe limbs cleave the
nir that elocutionery gestures
struggled and died in while striv
ing to mature art. The Lillian
Russell and Pauline Halls and
FayTenipletons have crowded the
Charlotte Cushmans and Fannie
Kembles off the stage. Hut the
public seems to be pleased, hence
the public alone is to blame.
Hut where will this craze end?
The loudest applause follows the
lines that contain a hidden mean
ing; the heartiest laugh comes af
ter the double entendre; the most
glasses are leveled at the shapliest
forms, the highest kickers, th
most bouquets. Mirely the reap
ients of the public, favors are ut
to be blamed for striving to win
them with lcirs and heels instead
of Jhands and brains. They work
and work diligently, to touch the
fickle fancies of people. If a broad
joke brings tne hands together,
broader one secures the foot accotn
pauiment. If a scant costume
brings roses; smilax and heliotrope
a scantier one will yeild a jewel
If a high kick will yeild an encore a
higher one will raise the gallery
and perhaps the roof.
The play producers, who string
together wit and melody to tit the
forms, the feet and the taste of
the people they gather to
gether see the bent of the public
nnd go it one better. Q word here
n gesture mere, a suggestion yon
der, spices the exhibition and guar
antees a fortune, if not fame. Th
struggle with fun, pure and simple
at first, but fun is a wily tempe
and they were led astray. The pub
lie willingly followed, however, and
will continue to fol low until sonic
thing more novel offers. Pretty
pictures, clean wit, frank and opt
folly are harmless, entertaining'
and restful. The snake of sugges
tiveness is crawling across the
stage, and will bask in the glare of
the footlights, charmed with the
Jight music which works the shape
ly automatons and keeps the sing
.r in tune. Kearney Hub.

6G, the Meat Train, Runs
Into an Extra.
TWO CARS HERE BADLY WRECkED
Between La Platte and Bellevue-
The Engine on the Extra
Broke Down.
Another wreck occurred on the
B. & M. between La Platte and
Hellevtie between 9 and 10 o'clock
last night. An extra was running
ahead of No. G6, known as the meat
train, and when between La Platte
and Bellevue an eccentric on the
engine of the extra broke. A flag
man was at once sent back, but
owing to the heavy fog the engineer
on No. 66 didn't see the signal in
time to prevent the wreck. Engi
neer Kuhn and Fireman Fwin, of
No. 66, jumped and escaped Injury.
The engine, however, telescoped
the caboose and one freight car
loaded with merchandise. The
caboose caught fire and burned, as
did also the car of merchandise.
The track was cleared, so that the
trains are all running as usual.
EXCITEMENT SUBSIDING.
TheJCoroner's Inquest in the Yocum
Shooting Case Postponed.
The following is from the Lin
coln lournals Hastings coires-
pondent:
"General Howen has been re
tained as counsel for Captain
Yocum. He will probably be as
sisted by Michael A. Hartignn
during the preliminary trial, which
will probably take place next week.
The coroner's jury met yesterday
afternoon and adiourned until
Friday morning.
"Mrs. locum was seen by your
correspondent yesterday morning
She incidentally remarked that her
daughter always exhibited a sym
pathetic feeling since childhood for
dumb animals, and, in fact, every
body that was connected with the
household. When Jeff, the colored
boy, came to the Yocum home he
could neither read nor write. He
was brought from Chicago to
Adams county by a German family,
and resided on the farm for several
years. When he was engaged by
Yocum he spoke very fair German.
Miss Alice Yocum, when she had a
leisure moment, would teach Jeff
how to write and spell, until he be
came quite proficient in those
lines. She was just as much inter
ested in the female servants, while
the family and she and Mrs. Yocum
are inclined to defend the colored
man.
The public feeling is so bitter
against the negro that if he had
presented hininelf on the streets
last evening his body would no
doubt have dangled from the first
telegraph pole. This evening the ex
cituient has subsided to a consider
able extent. The counsel for Yocum
will make a desperateeffort to secure
the name of the correspondent who
wrote the scandalous article that
appeared in the Lincoln Vanity Fair.
If the correspondent is discovered,
Hastings will be a most unpleasant
residence for him in the future
If men had to be judged by men.no-
body would ever get to heaven.

Washington. D. C. Feb. 23. The
state department to day made the
following telegram public from
Minister Ryan at Mexico:
?lKXtco, feu. 1U, iw; via ivl 1'aso,
Texas Hlaine, secretary, Washing
ton: Minister for foreign affairs of
Mexico makes tha following state
meut: Accordding to advices had
by this (Mexican) government the
bauds of Cntariuo Garza, organized
solely in the state of Texas, have
been completely dispersed, thanks
to the efficient pursuit of the same
recently set on foot in said state by
the United States forces. The Mexi
can railroad system inclusive even
of lines crossing he northern
frontier has ever enjoyed complete
security, although upon two dis
tinct occasion the bands referred to
crossed over into Mexico, on the oc-
cassiou remaining two days in con
stant movement and on the second
occason only a few hours, due to
pursuit kept up by forces of this
country. The precautionary meas
ures they instituted to prevent a
fresh incursion into Mexico resulted
in strengthening the sense of abso
lute safely and immunity from
harm always enjoyed by Mexican
railways. Such security continues
unshaken and unaltered and suf
ficiently well grounded is the hope
that in the future no danger will
menace the same.
(Signed) Ryan.
New Lodge Organized.
A new lodge, Knights of Pythias,
was organized last night at Pacific
Junction by District Deputy Grand
Chancellor W. F. Laraway of Glen
wood, Iowa. A delegation of about
fifty knights from Glenwood,
headed by the Glenwood cornet
band, arrived in the Junction and
inarched to the hall. A delegation
of twenty-fire knights from this city
was in attendance, arriving home
this morning on the flyer. Four
teen victims were initiated into the
mysteries, and instructed in the
secrets of the three ranks, which
each one had to pass through ere
he could obtain the rank of knight.
The hall was too small to accommo
date the crowd present. Work was
begun by 8 o'clock, and it was half
past five this morning before the
last man was finished. There were
fourteen initiated, and four joined
b card. F. W. Miller, L. H. Stroud.

starts out with a good membership
and before many mouths will be
doubled.
