Whose Mem bers Are All Actors and Musi cians of the First Clas-s. From TuesCay's Dally, ' KcaJ what the Columbus (Ind.) Daily Republican has to say in refer tr.cc to this popular musical comed : -To tell the story in the first para graph, as al! newspaper workers are instructed to do. 'September Morn,' which came to Crump's theater for a .-iridic rerformar.ee Thursday night, is a good .-how. More than that it is an U iuuaiiy pood show. If there was anything poor in it. this material l.iu.-t have been eliminated quite ;..v:-i'.v ago. As it was the big audi ; kept the company going until 11 Vkvk and if the finders and dancers bad been willing to respond as long as .;rlau-e continued it is probable the performance would still be go- ,-.g or.. " 'September Morn.' a presented by lowland 6c Clifford, is a musical me I. i.c-e with a very slight plot. To be t there is a major who marries a vi.iov.. She has a son and does not toll him about it. He has a daughter ..r does net tc-il her about it. This r.i shea the complication end of the acc. Ti en there is a tango dancer v .o would fet-n to be a living an-.-v. or to the question cf why boys !cae the farm, ar.d there are some ihers. Dut the p.lot could be ciinii-r.ate-! and the music fun s-tdl would i o there. That is what caught the audience anyway. "The chief fun-maker is Leo Green wood, a gentleman cf Hebrew ae try, who takes the part of 'Iludo'ph Piu-tic' lie is funny in fuch a nat ural manner that o:ie almost fo regis he is getting paid for beir..r a Ir.ugh producer. His 'straight work, his j'ir.gir.g :i: ! his witticisms a:! (:o to r'a.e l.im in a el.i ,s by him.-eif. "Fui nihi:rr .the sparkle and the : pi.-e for "SeptemVer ?.Iorn.' is Miss Ciiie drew, who cs.-ays the role of Arrri'itir.a.' i-'he is r. t;::g- dareer on 'he bid and incidently ic mirht be said lit a! .-.e i a taTo cv.ctv in real l.fe. Her dancing as w-i! as every thing c-i-e ths doc; in tliir- production, are tip to a high standard and won lu r favor here. "But ihe cute-t ii:t!e pi: I; ike dain tiest little rir! and li-cowi e the sweet .. t little t'i-'l ir. the play is Miss 'j't'u. ;ria tZder., who piayc the part of :..-c In iticn to t..c-:ng c:.sy to iook at. charming m ner naive s-:.rr.r!:ctty -hi? roi-o 1 an actress ot bility, es that elusive attribute railed tharm and her stork of that is cm -i "rrably above par.

"As for the chorus, there were many of them and r.ll know how to f-ing and dance. Xot in a blue moon perhaps not in a couple of blue moons have such gorgeous costumes been c:n here as were worn, in "Septem ber Mem.' The scenic effects were l.-.vi.-h. pleasing and to some extent : t .rtiinir. The music is tuneful and lir.ce-s in one's memory. "Ju.-t because 'September- Morn' takes its name from a picture .of a --hi who went in wading without a baihir.T suit and then consented to ht;-.rd there while somebody painted 1 picture, is no reason to draw the binds ar.-l sit with your hands folded v.hile the show is in town. You've ail seen the picture in somebody's : hew window and thought nothing of i.. You won't f ee anything worse in SrterrJcr Morn.' An 1 the music, the fc.n, the costumes, th? effects, in fact the whole thinr mixed together : -d thoroughly done, makes a theat rical rr.eal that certainly is satisfying. Jut a word or two more.

However, she has more than enthusiasm. She has a jrreat amount of musical ability and while pecple usually overlook the hand that wields the hu:cn, it is not j-jjy io overlook the p-en i.d v.or!; Miss Yak-r-iiin;? does." , r.emerr.ber, this company, which is t niversally commended by the press , end public throughout the country, will be at the Parmele theater, Wed nesday night, January 13th. New Son at McKinney Home. The friends here of W. R. McKin ney, who for a number of years was here at the Hotel Riley, and who while in this city was one of the most popular young men in this place, will be pleased to learn that a fine son rnd heir has been born to Mr. and Mrs. McKinney at their home in Hastings, Neb., on November ISth. The young man is reported as being clever as his popular and genial father. THE DEATH OF JUDGE BARNES UN OLD CITIZEN WATER From Tuesday's Paily. The death of Judge Barnes in Weeping Water last night deprived the residents of lhat place of a justice cf the peace and this morning a peti tion was circulated there for the ap pointment by the county commission ers of R. G. Glover of that piace to the off.ee made vacant by death. There are a number of cases set for hearing rnd it is necessary to have the vacancy filled at this session of the county board. Mr. Glover has lived in Weeping Yv'ater for a number of years coming there from Springfield, Xeb., and is a gentleman well qualified for the ofnee. The commissioners .ill take action on the -petition as soon as it arrives here. A FALLING OFF l THE From Tuesday's Pa;?y. During the year just closed in the natui aiization department of the of fice cf the district clerk there were eleven petitions for citi.cndiip fried in that oniee an 1 ten declarations of intentions filed there. This shows a falling ofT from last year, when the applications for citizenship were much more numerous, but most of the citizens here of foreign birth have al jtaJy enttred the fold of the Ameri can citizens rnd are now fully en titled to their rights as such. The law in regard to the securing of naturalization papers is much more .-t:iet than formerly snc it requires a mvrch longer time before the papers will be issued to the applicants. I FANGER BUYS THE DAMAGED E6 ENBERGER STOCK And Proposes to Dispose of It at Prices That Will Surprise tbe Natives. RECEPTION BIVEH MISS LOOISE LQKMES AT THE HOME OF HER PARENTS From Tuesday's Iaiiy. Saturday evening at the handsome country home of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Lchne?, a farewell reception was ten dered their daughter, Miss Louise, who is to depart in the near future fof Omaha. A large number cf young folks gathered in and the evening was passed most pleasantly in dancing ;ind when dawn was almost breakimr the tired but happy crowd departed homeward, having had the time of their lives. Those who participated i i the delights of the evening were: Messrs. Ralph," Rudolph, Arthur, Glen and Lawrence Meisinger, August, Mike and Adam Meisinger, Lloyd Schneider, Irven Meisinger, Ernest Tritsch, Fred Fornoff, Willie Macy, George Hennings, Fred and John Ter ryberry, Clarence Busche, Harry Horn, Forest Baughman, Martin, El Ticr, Henry and Louis Lohnes, Misses Mable Kaffonberger, Mable, Dora and Gertrutle Meisinger.

Egenberger store building at the time of the fire here Christmas day has just been purchased by M. Fanger and he is preparing to offer it to the public at prices that will open the eyes of the purchasing public. The greater part cf the stock is in good shape, as it suffered little from fire, most of the damage being done by the water, and a great deal of it was uninjured, and Mr. Fanger decided that he would afford the people of Tiattsmouth a fine chance to secure some bargains in this line. The stock was first purchased by the firm of Palmer, Wheelock & Co., of Beatrice, but Mr. Fanger, not desiring to let the stock leave this city, repurchased it from this firm and will have it re moved to one of the rooms in the de pal t men ' store which is being pre pared to receive it. The stock in the department store will be consolidated in one room for the time being and the Eger.berger stock placed in the west store room, where in a few days the slashing of prices will be commenced and not end until everyone has had an opportunity to take advantage of it and secure fueh supplies as they need, and some very exceptional bargains will be of fered that cannot be passed up by the ise purchaser. If the goods are not disposed of here it is the intention of Mr. Fanger to remove them to Oma ha, where they will be offered for sale in his store building, which is being repaired and fixed up. There is no doubt but that many fine bargains can be secured by the shrewd shoppers from the Egenberger stock, and Mr. Fanger, with his usual policy, will see that every price -advertised will be made good on the articles offered for sale. The advertising of the prices will be made as soon as possible and the work of pushing trie sale commenced, rnd on this occasion there will be no legard shown as to prices, as every article will be sacrificed at figures that will neem almost too cheap to be true, and the sale will be one that will establish a record for low prices in this city and which has never been approached before by any company or store In the history of the town. A further notice of the sale will appear in this paper later, and its appearance will be eager !y awaited by the wise shoppers. Billiard Champion to Play Here. FUNERAL OF MB. W. R. . GARDNER.

F. M. Druliner of the First Methodist church. Mr. Gardner and wife left this city something like a year ago and have since that time made their home in Iowa, and their friends here were very much shocked to learn of Mr. Gardner's' untimely death, as no one here was aware that he was ill, he being stricken suddenly ' with the dread malady that ended his life. He was 65 years of age at the time of his death. The interment was made in the Oak Hill cemetery, west of this city, in the family burial lot.

MARY'S GUILD PLEASANTLY EN TERTAINED YESTERDAY From Wednesday' Pally. Yesterday afternoon the ladies of the St. Mary's Guild were entertain ed in a very pleasant manner at the handsome Gering home on North Sixth street by their president, Miss Barbara Gerin. and the occasion was cne filled with much pleasure for every member of the society. The ladies had come with their sewing and fpent several hours in the plying of the busy needle and in social conver ration, which served to pass the time raost pleasantly. During the after noon the company were entertained very pleasantly with music on the Yictrola, which proved a most pleas ant feature of the occasion. At a suitable hour a very delicious and tempting luncheon was served by the hostess which added greatly to the enjoyment of the afternoon. The ladies have closed a most profitable year and feel well pleased with their hard work for the good of the church that has been so successful. :o: VERY IMPORTANT SUIT WAS FILEO YESTERDAY IN THE DISTRICT COURT TUC DlTIDlMQ I ML. 1 1 LI IT OF A MOST EFFI- IT CIFL OFFICIAL The Ladies in the Various Olliccs Ten ders Miss Foster a Surprise in the Way of a Farewell Banquet.

They further al lege that on July lfi they sold for the cefendant 1,000 bushels of wheat at ?04 cents a bushel, and to prote this was compelled to advance the sum of ?150, which included their commission. On July 17 they sold 1. 000 bushels of wheat at 827i cents, hieh later required them to protect in the sum of S136.25, and these sums which they allege to be due have had paid on them the sum of 152.55, and they ask that judgment for the rest of the amount, some s-771.20, be given them against the defendant. Matthew Gering appears as attorney-for the plaintiff. SANITARY CONDITIONS IN -THIS CITY HAVE RESULTED One of the things that the residents cf this city can feel truly thankful for in the past few years is the decreas ing number of cases of contagious diseases that in - the past have pre vailed over the city and whenever s few cases were reported they soon spread into an epidemic which gener ally resulted in several deaths before it was over. It seems that the con ditions here have become more health ful as there are now very few cases of diseases reported save an occa sional case of some childish malady, where formerly there were hundreds reported to the health authorities. The public, however, have gradually become more used to taking safe guards against these diseases and while scattering cases may appear they are mild and generally easy to handle. Modern medical treatment and the constant campaign for the best possible sanitary conditions has cut down the contagious disease to the very lowest figure-possible and as the years go on science will carry out yet greater triumphs over these maladies that have all been such a menace to human life. - ! Yesterday afternoon a most pleas ant surprise was given Miss Mary E. Foster, the retiring county superin tendent of schools, at the court house, by the youjig ladies employed in the difTerent offices there. The affair was planned several days ago by the ladies, and it required great skill in preparing the event so that the guest cf honor would not get wind of it. The ladies' rest room was transformed in to a bower of beauty for the occasion, a large table being spread in there which was decorated very handsomely with candles and a tempting two course luncheon spread thereon. The surpriscrs had been kept wor ried all day that their "victim" would leave the building before the sur prise was sprung, and Miss Marie Kaufmann was assigned the task of seeing that she was kept in the officj until the witching hour, when she was called out into the hall and lured into the room, in which the ladies had prepared their dainty luncheon in farewell of their friend and co-worker. Miss .Foster was greatly touched by the feeing of friendship of her friendiand expressed her apprecia tion of the dainty treat prepared for her and trusted that their good feel ing might continue through other years. The ladies spent some time mort agreeably in visiting ith their friend pr.d much enjoyment was had by a!', gathered around the festal beard, al though the occasion was tinged with sadness over the departure of the esti mable lady who has filled the cfr.ee of superintendent so acceptably for the past seven years. . Those who participated in the sur prise were: Misses Mia Gering, Jes rie Robertson, Marie Kaufmann, Alice Tuey, Florence White, Gertrude Bee son. Miss Eda Marquardt, superintendent-elect, and the guest of honor, Miss Foster. Manhattan SHIRT SALE Beimiinf!
