Mr. White, of the Prick and Terra Cota works, has contracted to sup ply 125 cars of brick for the new government building in Oma ha. The contract calls for two cars every day until the 125 cars are de livered. This speaks well for one of Plastsmouth's industries and shows that the brick made here is of the first class.

Eight street to work, but after he had taken them up there he had to bring them back on account of not having any shovels for them to work with. We knew Editor Polk of the Platts mouth New was tricky, but we did not believe him capable of stooping so far beneath his profession as to garble an article in such an un truthful manner as the one he cred ited to this paper last week.

Marie Heath, the corned beam of "A Turkish Bath" pany, is singing with great success a new song entitled "Poor Little Dolly," or "Just Like a Woman." It was written and composed by Miss .ixcaiii, anu ranKS tirst iu her ex tensive repertoire. There is a sad story in connection with this song, whereby a soubrette 1US ucr me, ana an ingenue is horribly married. In singing the song Miss Heath uses a doll. At the beo-in ninrr nf -n Miss Heath sent her remains to her home in Galesburg, where she was laid awa)r with nothing but the sad memories of a past greatness to be told about her. tr oor L,itiie Lome: Just like a woman when gifted with youth and beatuy, all bow at her shrine, but when age with stealthy steps over takes her, she is neglected for some new favorite, and left to dream over her past conqests in solitude, "the world forgetting and by the world forgot." On Christmas M iss Heath was pre sented by the members of her com pany with a large French doll, and she is now one among the many beautiful things to admire in 'A Turkish Bath."

I able paper A large sized smile stole over the countenance of the public last eve ning on reading "Current Com ments" in the Evening News, Editor Polk's Daoer. It annears KcKinr Sherman has started out on a tour of the county, probably collecting from his democratic subscribers, who take their democracj- "without money and without price," and the News grows humorous over it in its usual placid style when its polit ical editor descends to humor. But the richness of the joke comes in when it is understood that the News concern, with its paucity of subscribers, readers and sup porters, is starting the great and onlj reliable political editor out on a iour 01 Lass county to beat up subscribers for the News. When that missionary of morals and veracity gets home, the one sub scriber which Brother Sherman caught will be just about one hundred per cent in advance of the support the "slick" editor of the News will bring in. Polk poking fun at Sherman is enough to give the horses of all Cass the lockjaw. One blessing, however, arises from the pilgrimage of the editor and proprietor (?) of the News, and that S.

C. 1 V,UU in his absence. the season she engaged a small doll of the soubrette order, rather small for the part, but the best available doll talent at liberty. She was named "Lady Washing ton," in honor of the city where she made her first appearance. She ap peared with Miss Heath until the company reached San Francisco. The fatigue and wear were telling on her delicate constitution, so Miss Heath engaged an ingenue doll, who made her appearance at a children's matinee under the name of "Lady Francisco." Like everything else in San Fran cisco, she was beautiful; a perfect blonde, tall and graceful, with love ly blue eyes. She could use her head and arms with artistic effect, and made a most pronounced hit. A great rivalry sprung up be tween "Lady Washington" and "Lady Francisco," and Miss Heath had to relegate "Lady Washington" to the position of understudy, which so grieved her sensitive, ar tistic nature that she threw herself under a falling trunk and was crushed to death. "Lady Francisco," having the field to herself, was more charm inV than ever. She made herself a fav orite with the company, and shared the applause with Miss Heath. She stood the long, tedious journeys very well until she reached the Northern Pacific railroad; then she became rheumatic. Her neck and arms grew stiff, and she failed fast, until at last she could not appear on the stage, and finally poor "Lady Francisco" met her death in a Taylor theatrical trunk at Helena, Montana.
