The Noss Family. JwlK KamHe' J- M' Crai
The Noss family will appear at left for Murray this morning to at
the Waterman opera house Thurs tend the funeral of Wm. Lloyd,
day, February 25. Seats are now on Dr. K.W.Cook departed on the
sale. The following is what the llyer last night for Chicago, where
Daily News of Morris, Illinois, has he will remain until the first of
to say of them: May.
"Talk about a big house and a marriage license was issued to
good performance. The second ap-J (j;1y oy judge Ramsey to August
pearance of the Noss Family here ! jfotling and Miss Katherine Reber,
attracted one of the finest and j both o Cass county,
largest audiences that ever saw the J WhvwiIlvou Courh when Shi
curtain rise in Morris. The musical
comedy, "A Ouick 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 yesterdcy re
moved Dr. Knapp from the asylum
for the insane at Lincoln. Dr.
Knapp. who has served as 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 B. Manning, of
Lincoln, succeeds him.
TheJ gWvernor also re-organizcd
Omaha's fire and police company
mission by C. V. Gallagher, rice
Chri9 Hartman, removed; Geo. W.
Shield, vice G. H. Gilbert, removed;
William Coburn was appointed to
succeed himself of the republican
member of the board and D. Clem
Deaver will in all probabilityfbe ap
pointed in place of Howard B.
Smith.
Whither Wo Are Drifting.
Whither is the drama of our day
drifting. Dollarward and down
ward some will say. Too much
vulgar comedy. Too much kicking
and too little talking; too much tin
sel, and too little gold. But 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 lecritimate drama starves to
death. Forms flit where talent lan
iruished. Lithe limbs cleave the
air that elocutionery gestures
struggled and .died in while striv
ing to mature art. The Lillian
Russells and Pauline Halls and
Fay Templeton9 have crowded the
Charlotte Cushmans and Fannie
Kembles off the stage. But the
public seems to be pleased, hence
the public alone is to blame.
But 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, the
most bouquets. Surely the recip
ients of the public favors are not
to be blamed for striving to win
them with legs and heels instead
of 'hands and brains. They work,
and work diligentl3', to touch the
fickle fancies of people. If a broad
joke brings tne hands together, a
broader one secures the foot accom
paniment. If a scant costume
brings roses; smilax and heliotrope
a scantier one will yeild a jewel.
If a high kick will -eild an encore a
higher one will raise the gallery
and perhaps the roof.
The play producers, who string
together wit and melody to fit the
forms, the feet and the taste of
the people they gather to
gether see the bent of the public
and go it one better. A word here
a gesture there, a suggestion yon
der, spices the exhibition and guar
antees a fortune, if not fame. They
struggle with fun, pure and simple
at tirst, but fun is a wily temper
and they were led astray. The pub
lic willingly followed, however, and
will continue to fol low until some
thing more novel offers. Pretty
pictures, clean wit, frank and open
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
light music which works the shape
ly automatons and keeps the sing
er in tune. Kearney Hub.

Bee, The Herald notices the name
of Clifford Wescott, Plattsmouth.
Ed Mish, a cooper of Nebraska
City, who mysteriously disappeared
last January, was found yesterday
near the C. B. & Q. bridtre. In his
pockets was $4 in cash and also
number of other trinkets. It was
evidently a case of suicide.
The Noss Jollities' farcial comedy,
"A Quick Match," suits everybody.

While looking over the records in
the clerk of the district court's office
a reporter noticed that G. F. S. Bur.
ton, the whilom editor of the Eve
ning News, had taken out his first
papers and intends to become an
American citizen, after eight years'
residence in our midst.
The funeral of Wm. Lloyd oc
curred this afternoon at 1 o'clock
from the residence near Murrty.
The Masonic order of this city of
which the deceased was a member
attended the funeral in a body,
leaving on the Missouri Pacific
train. The remains were entered
in the Young cemetery.
The Herald has it on pretty
good authority that Geo. B. Mann
who has been connected with the
Eveninir News ever since it was
r9
established, has sold out his inter
est in the paper to G. F. S. Burton
who will have full control of the
paper hereafter, and that the trans
fer has already been made.
Carl Carlson was instantly killed
on the B. & M. near Nebraska City
3-esterday morning. lie was in
company with John Olson, section
foreman, and was going down the
track on a hand car, when a freight
train approached. They stopped
the car and attempted to remove
from the track, but the engine
caught it, driving one of the hand
les through Carlson's head.
End of the Trouble.
Washington. D. C. Feb. 23. The
state department to-day made the
following telegram public from
Minister Ryan at Mexico:
Mexico, Feb. 10, 1892, via El Paso,
Texas Blaine, secretary, Washing
ton: Minister for foreign affairs of
Mexico makes ths following state
ment: Accordding to advices had
by this (Mexican) government the
bands of Catarino 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 ihe northern
frontier has ever enjoyed complete
security, although upon two dis
tinct occasion the bands referred to
crossed over into Mexico, on the oe
cassion remaining two days in con
stant movement and on the second
occaoii 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 safety and immunity from
harm always enjoyed by Mexican
railwaj's. Such security continues
unshaken and unaltered and suf
ficiently well grounded is the hope
that in the future 110 danger will
menace the same.

Between La Plat e and Ballevue
The Engln- on tl-e Extra
Broke Down.
Another wreck occurred on the
B. & M. between La Platte and
Hellevue between U and 10 o'clock
last, iiigut. xti extra was running
ahead of Mo. Oti, known as the meat
train, and when between La Platte
and Bellevue an eccentric on the
engine of the extra Jbroke. A flag
man was at once sent back, but
owing to the heavy fog the engineer
on No. (3(3 didn't see the signal in
iiiie to prevent the wreck. Engi
neer Kuhn and Fireman Frwin, of
No. 0(5, jumped and escaped injury,
The engine, however, telescoped
the caboose and one freiirht 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 Journal's Hastings coi res
pondent:
"General Bowen has been re
tained as counsel for Captain
Yocum. He will probably be as
sisted by Michael A. Hartigan
during the preliminary trial, which
will probably take place next week.
The coroner's jury met yesterday
afternoon and adjourned until
Friday morning.
"Mrs. Yocum 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 himself on the streets
last evening his body would no
doubt have dangled from the first
telegraph pole. This evening the ex
citmenthas subsided to a comsider
able extent. The counsel for Yocum
will make a desperate effort 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."
New Lodge Organized.
A new lodge, Knights of Pj-thias,
was organized last night at Pacific
Junction by District Deputy Grand
Ghancellor 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
marched to the hall. A delegation
of twenty-five knights from this city
was in attendance, arriving home
this morning on the flyer. Four
teen victims were initiated into the I
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. V. Miller, L. H. Stroud.
