"Do I like the Htago ? " repealed Miss Hohdo this morning , when the query was put. "Do I llko It ? Indeed , I love It nnd wouldn't give It np for anything In the world. Singularly enough half of the pcoplo In the pro fession declare that they are dissat isfied with the business , hut as a matter of fact they couldn't bo torn from it.

" Miss Itohdo travels nndor her own immo nlwnys niul Bho has done con Bldorablo traveling. Two years after the "Hello of Now York" had made Biich n hit In London , she went , with a company thnt Included many well known people , over to London nnd Inter throughout Europe on a very disastrous trip , from n flnnncln ! view point. The trip had been poorly man aged nnd tlio company liad barely enough money to got back to London. As the company , however , bad been compelled , by English law , to deposit n sum equal to two weeks' salary and return fares for the troupe before leaving London , they were assured be fore the start of at least getting back , "It would bo a great thing for the theatrical profession If the same law prevailed In America , " said Miss Hohde. "Tho now law could provide that any company leaving New York must deposit funds for salaries and return fares. " i "English theatergoers are much more loyal to their favorites than are Americans , " said Miss Hondo , speak ing of London Impressions. "In Lon don If they like you you can do no wrong. In America you are applaud ed one season and forgotten the next. Otis SKInnor. for example , who made such an enthusiastic hit In Now York last year has not been talked of this season because New York hasn't liked bis play. They've said awful things about It. " Miss Hondo was leading lady a year ago with "Winsome Winnie. " On her first trip , with "flay New York , " she played at Omaha , Sioux City and other western cities , later going to the coast and returning by way of N'eOrleans. . Of late years she bus not been west of Chicago. Last week she visited her brothers in Chicago , two young attorneys. Hohdo * Hohde. who formerly lived at Sioux Palls. Her brothers refused to be taken to the Iroquois theater , where a number of her close friends wore playing , because of their lingering prejudice against the building of pan ic tame CONGfTSS WASJ3000 TO OMAHA Some Liberal Appropriations for the Advantage of the State. Omaha has been counting ( he plums that have fallen in Nebraska's basket through the last session of congress and Units that a number of valuable favors and improvements have been secured , and while they largely come to Omaha , what Is added to Omaha is added to Nebraska and every citl/.eu of the state will lie pleaded to have congress advance the wealth and Im portance of the state's metropolis. Senator Millard has had appropriat ed 10,000 for the rebuilding of Fort Omaha , the money being now avail able. This makes a total of $100.000 available for the work. The new army appropriation makes $117.000 more available July 1. The work Is being pushed under the direction of Major M. Grey Eallcekl , constructing quar termaster. The old fort Is to bo used as an army signal service training school and station. Upon the completion of plans with reference to old Fort Omaha , the chief signal officer will establish there one of the most Interesting features of the service. The practice drills will bo unique. Probably the most Inter esting exhibitions to be seen pertain to the \snr balloons , with which ex perlmentn are continually being made. To avoid delay.1) nml to obviate an over-present handicap , a permanent plant for the making ; iml compressing of hydrogen gun with which to Inflate the balloons , will he one of the fea tures of the signal Mai Ion. An auxiliary of the war balloon Is the wireless telegraph , calling for con- slant nclentlllc experiments.

A LINCOLN-SIOUX CITY LINE Fake Report Emanating From Fre mont , and Published In n Morning Paper , Has no Foundation , AccordIng - Ing to Superintendent Reynolds. Fremont , Nob. April 27. It Is re ported here that the Northwestern railroad regards the Great Northern's cut-Oil as an Invasion of Its territory and tlmt there Is talk of the construc tion of a line from Hooper to Oak land to connect with the Omaha road , thus making n shortllno from Lincoln to Slonx City. Superintendent Reynolds , of the Ne braska & Wyoming division of the Northwestern when nskod In regard to the above report today * stated thnt there Is nothing whatever In such a story and that It Is merely "newspaper talk. " There have been no sugges tions In the headquarters of the Northwestern regarding such a plan , and there arc none contemplated , so far as the olllclals of the road know. The peculiar feature of the story Is that It should emanate from Fremont , while Norfolk headquarters , Including the general superintendent and divi sion superintendent , should know nothing of it whatever.

The witness said that the thrust which resulted in the sov- orlng of the jugular vein was of such a nature as to indicate that nftor the knlfo had been Inserted It was twist ed round nnd round , as though the murderer had deliberately felt about to Ihul and cut n big vein. The testimony of Dr. L. A. Frit- schlo , former coroner of Brown coun ty , was in a way a repetition of his evidence at the llrst trial , but it was stronghcncd ! for the defense by the doctor's statement , when describing the position of the pencil , thnt "it looked as though It had fallen out of the vest of the murdered man.

Norfolk , Nebraska , REASON WHY THERE WILL BE NO RAILROAD FIGHT. \ PEACE IN THE NORTHWEST An Associate of Hill Boasts That the Great Northern Financial Opera tions Enable It to Break the Other Roads' Attempts. Now York , April 27. As J. J. Hill swung down Liberty Btrcet the other day on IIB ! way from the ferry to his office , he was greeted by the cries of the ncwHboys calling extras of the evening paporK containing fearful and wonderful accounts of the alleged "great fight" which was crumbling the prices of Northern Securities , Un ion Pacific and allied stocka. "Whnt do you think of It , Mr. Hill ? " ho was asked. "If you want to believe that kind of rot , " said Mr ? Hill , "no ono Is go ing to stop you. It Is not even re spectable fiction. " Later In the day , when definite de tails of the "fight" were shown him , covering the alleged plans of E. H. Harrlnittii to build a through line to the coast between the Great Northern and Northern Pacific , Mr. Hill smiled grimly : "It looks Interesting , but It would be too expensive" was all that he would say. The exact wny In which It would bo too expensive Is the subject matter of the following remnrks , from one of the closest nssoclntes of J. J. Hill nnd one of the mon whose names np- pear In the list of largo holders of Norhorn ) Securities stock , recent.ly published : "If war of that kind broke out , the Milwaukee nnd the Northwestern would be up against it In three years anil the Union Pacific would be It self on the verge , carrying two , or perhaps three , bankrupt railroads on Its books as assets. Therefore war Is not going to break out. The reason Is that old man Hill has got the rail roads of the great northwest by the tall , and they know It. "The Great Northern was built across the continent on the lowest possible cost. It was built on the stock , not on bonds. The others were built on bonds and the stocks were the rakeoff. That Is the reason thnt the Grent Northern could cut Its an nual net earnings to $5,000,000 and still bo solvent. If you cut down the freight earnings of the Union Pacific ' 10 per cent that Is enough to meet the cut possible on the Great North ern without causing Hill to default Union Pacific would not earn ' its charges by over $3,000,000 a year. With a similar reduction , the Mil waukee nnd the Northwestern would run $3,000,000 behind fixed charges every year. year.Hill Hill Holds the Key. "Figure as you please on the bound less credit and power of the Union Pacific , in the end It comes to this , that J. .7. Hill has In his hands the key to the northwestern railroad sit uation. Mr. Harrlman may rave in his disappointment over his defeat In the Invasion of Hill territory. I do not believe that either Mr. Harrlman or the bankers who have stood behind him , and to whom ho owes so much of his power , will dare to lift a hand to precipitate again the state of af fairs that landed the Union Pacific In ( .10 receivership of 1893. "There Is not going to be war in the northwest. There Is going to be peace and the kind of peace that J. J. Hill and J. P. Morgan say that there will be . A month from now It will be known across this continent that there Is pence. These alleged fights arise out of market conditions. After It Is all over there will probably be a rearrangement of the situation up north , but It will take a form not looked for anywhere. It will be a * spllt In one party not a split between two parties. Also It won't hurt Hill. When It is all over you will note that old man Hill Is still the biggest rail road man west of the Mississippi river if not west of the Atlantic " OLD SETTLERPASSES AWAY _ Jacob Sheets , of Meadow Grove , Was Buried Yesterday.

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION It Is Now Contemplated by the Horse men to Hold a Big Race Meeting , With a Huge Celebration In Con nection , This Summer. With stalls for the accommodation of thirteen race horses , eight of them filled today nnd others In prospect to gether with a speedy half-mile track , nlrendy ditched and In fair shape , the horsemen of Norfolk are now es tablished' In a permanent way and the prospects for a two-days' racing meet here this summer are better than they have been in many years. It Is contemplated by the hoi semen to Jiold a two days' race meeting about July 4 , when It Is suggested by theiu that the city hold a Fourth of July cel ebration and make It altogether the biggest series of days Norfolk has seen. "There Is no reason In the world why a fine , spirited race meeting can. not be held in Norfolk this summer for two days , " said one of the enthu siasts this morning , "and It would boas T as easy as can bo Imagined. " . By taking early dates it is believed that many horses which are being worked out over the country could bo secured for entrance In the events , and thnt a big field could be had at an early meeting. Randolph and Wayne have dates following Sioux City in the western circuit and.lt has been suggested that Norfolk could sandwich dates between this circuit and the Battle Creek and Nellgh races , which are Included In the Ne braska circuit.

Among the horses at the race track now are Billy Onward , Minnie Wilkes , owned by Will Woods , a pacing colt owned by Pete Barnes , a bay filly owned by Jo Phillips , nnd Ruben W , with a mark of 2:18. : Mlnnlo Wilkes has a mark of 2:2514. : ' ' More than half of the subscription funds have been paid in thus far and the race track managers feel that with n little assistance from those who have already subscribed , the fi nances will be completely cleared. All work and labor on the stalls has been paid for and a portion of the lumber bill has been paid.
