WILLING TO WAIT FOR DEPOT
Directors Express Willingness to Walt
for New Depot , Since There Appears
to Be a Prospect for Securing Union
Station In the End.
C. C. Oow was elected to the secre
taryship of the Commercial club at

rectors have been seeking for a suit
able man for the important position.

who resigned as secretary ot the club
several months ago. Mr. Mathewson
lias continued to act as secretary of
he club pending the selection of a
) ormanent secretary , but owing to
dans to be away from homo more or
ess , was unwilling to continue perma-
icntly.
After being up in the air for nearly

Willing to Walt' for Union Depot.
General Superintendent S. M. Bra-
.lt > n made a statement to the directors
xplalulng the attitude of the North'
western towards a union deiipt. Mr ,
Rradcn said that his loa'd Is willing tc
uulto with other loads oh a joint sta
lion , but that a union depot , If secured ,
\\ould involve many conferences and
that much time would bo consumed by
the necessity of the beveral roads
agieelng on the details of the plans.
In \ low of the fact that a union depot
might not bo secured , If at All. before
next spring , he asked if the Commer
cial club would favor a union depot
considering the attendant delays. Fol
lowing this the directors voted that as
long as there were favorable prospects
for a union station the club was willIng -
Ing toait. .

tot reported on the progress that bad

There Were Many Surprises.
There were surprises In that mln-
trel show. People went to the Audi-
.orlum anxious to help out In a good
auso and expecting to see tholr
rlends and acquaintances on the
tago dojng amateur theatrical work.
; 'ho same audience went away breath-
ng forth unstinted praise for the gen-
jlnely meritorious attraction that they
uul seen. Not only had they aided in
i worthy cause , but they had got tholr
money's worth as well. It baa boon
i minstrel more like a professional
how than a homo talent affair. In
'act some of the features produced un-
iiippressed amaxomont.
The music was the right sort , with
\ awing and a dash and a melody to
t that drove away thought of local tal
ent and produced unalloyed enjoyment.
The Jokes wore breezy , keen and fresh
rom the factory. The solos received
nerltcd applause and the specialties
> voro the genuine article. The stage ,
jottings , too , were unique and ddcld-
edly effective. The whole perform
ance was a success fiom beginning to
} iul and allowed an enormous amount
of work beforehand In preparation ,
rcdlt for the complete success of the
production belongs to the band as an
organization , to many who assisted , to
he entire city which so well patron-
zed the entertainment , and partlcu-
arly to Will F. Hall , who originated
he Idea and who bad the work of prep
aration In charge.
The Cast.
The curtain rose on a pretty stage
setting , with specially prepared pll-
ars , entwined with artificial leaves , as
ho background. As the band played

swell" appearance In his dress suit ,
seated In the center ot the circle , while ,
the balance of the chorus and end men
were stunningly gaibod , the end men
in white Prince Alberts and the chorus
In white ducks with blue blouses.
The first part of the program was
ghen over to song numbers , with wit
ty repartee and "gags" sandwiched In
between , A number of "warm shots"
were takou at popular local men.
The second part opened with "A
few minutes with Jimmie ; that's all"
a monoUfgue specialty by James Ki
lls in which ho sprung a number ol
bright "gags. "
Ono of the cleverest specialties ol
the evening was that of R. C. Smith
and his "red devil. " Mr. Smith's en
trance was In an Impiomptu automo
bile built for' the occasion. It was
made from a soap box on wheels , with
lovers and horn and headlight and a
stopo pipe for the escaped gas. It
came upon the stage with a llamo
bursting from Its pilot. Then the
thing refused to go. Mr. Smith twist
ed and hammered and wound up the
wheel without avail.Of a sudden It
lunged forward and loft him alone on
the stage. Then came an explosion.
Wheels and -stove pipe and other parts
of the "red devil" filled the air.

game. The trio wore fully as good
and finished In their work as many cir
cus acrobats and they hold the audi

a half hour.
Turning aomorsaiiltu In the air ,
forming pyramids by climbing ono
upon another , and making long dives
over high tables or chairs , to light on
their heads and turn a somersault ,
were among their dlfllcult feats.
Ira Hull did a clever dancing spe
cialty which won deserved applause.
Olllo Firkins did an excellent Swede
character stunt , using the dialect In
splendid style and springing a number
of snappy jofdica. Later lip did a dual

DR. J. N. M'CORMACK SPEAKS IN
NORFOLK.
MUCH ILLNESS UNNECESSARY
Proper Observance of Scientific Meth
ods Would Greatly Reduce Death
Rate and Lessen the Suffering of
Humanity.
Dr. J. N. McCormack , state health
olllcor of Kentucky and official lectur
er of the American Medical associa
tion , spoke In the Auditorium last
evening In the'subject , "Things About
Doctors and Other People Which
Everybody Ought to Know. " Dr. Mc
Cormack Is on a campaign of educa
tion and Is speaking throughout the
country to doctors , medical students
and the general public. Yesterday
afternoon he spoke to the doctors In
the Pacific hotel parlors.
Dr. Bear Introduced Dr. McCormack
In a few fitting words.
Dr. McCormack said , In part :
The American Medical association ,
through Its 2,170 county societies , with
their 70,000 members , Is trying to
bring about one of the most compre
hensive , far-reaching , altruistic , lifesaving -
saving reforms which has ever engag
ed the attention of the people. One-
third of the sickness which has oc
curred In Nebraska * and the United
States within the last year and every
year , was due to diseases which arc
distinctly and practically preventable.
Much has been altempted by the pro
fession to stop this cruel and unneces
sary sick and death rate , which Im
poses a heavier burden on the people
of this country every year than all the
taxes paid for county , city , state and
national purposes combined.
Dr. McCormack declared that the
thing which has worked against the
> rlnging about of this result is a
endency to "knock" among physicians
of different schools. He has had ex
perience with many legislatures , and
found his efforts handicapped by these
[ lissensions , which he declared wore
inlversal throughout the country.
Medical Fraternity United.
This evil has , to a large extent , been
rooted out. The medical profession
s today more solidly united than ever
before and working hard for the bring
Ing about of good to the people In pre
venting unnecessary disease. But the
feeling of the people that the profes
sion Is not united still oxlsts to the
detriment of any concerted effort along
eglslatlvo lines.
Ho quoted statistics showing that on
account of the Inadequate authority
: ) f the army medical officers we lost
sixteen young men from preventable
diseases to every one dying of wounds'
n the Spanish-American war. Japan ,
with her medical officers having co
equal authority- and rank with those
of the line , lost only one from preventable
ventable disease to every four dying
of wounds.
"Oilo-thlrd of the people sick In
Nebraska every year and one-third of
those carried to your cemeteries wore
sick and died of diseases which your
medical profession could and would
have prevented If they could have had
the Intelligent cooperation of your
people.You bad 1,000 deaths from
consumption. This Is not an Inherited
disease , though the common Impres
sion Is 16 ; that effect. If all the infec
tious 'matter ' and expectorated dis
charges "from every case of this di
sease no'w in the state could be col-
ectod and .destroyed until the patients
either recover or die there need never
bo another case In the state , " the doc
tor declared.
Unnecessary Loss of Life.
Dr * ' McCormack showed that there
wore 3,850 deaths' last year In Ne
braska from preventable diseases , an
asfcot ! worth to tho.state ; $3,850,000. Ho
'
deqlflred that the'phys'lqians have been
misunderstood In tlfoir efforts to se-
, cunJ-Vlegislation to pVbyont those dl
$ eu8q's , ' It being the popular view tha
' the i ( io fdcKn'es.8' there1 la , , the more

batolrs and other places wboro dis
ease lurks. By such a cmsado
against disease the rate of death
among the people would bo greatly I
lessened and the amount of human
suffering would be vastly reduced , ho
allli-med.
Norlolk physicians together with
other physlclana from this vicinity la
Norfolk for the Tuesday evening lec
ture at the Auditorium met with Dr.
McCormack during the latter part of
the afternoon In the parlors of the
Pacific hotel. Dr. McCormack , who
Is a Kentucky physician of proml-
nelicu lecturing under the auspices of
the American Medical association ,
gave an Informal talk to the doctors
during the afternoon on the relations
that should obtain between the mem
bers of their profession and pointed
out the harmony and co-operation that
was too much lacking the country
over. In addition to the doctors of
this city the following physicians wore
In Norfolk from away and followed
Dr. McCormack's words with Interest :
Dr. F. A. Long , Madison ; Dr. A. F.
Conery , Nellgh ; Dr. Lingenfelder ,
West Point ; Dr. M. D. Baker , MadL-
son ; Dr. J. M. O'Connell , Ponca ; Dr.
B. J. Leahy , Jackson ; Dr. E. Tanner ,
Battle Creek ; Dr. B. W. Beatty , Ne-T
Ugh.
Among other things ho said : There
arc 50,000 cocaine fiends in New York
City. Four-fifths of the quack institu
tions In the United States are being
run by ex-clergymen. Of all learned
professions , clergymen disagree among
themselves most , doctors next , while
lawyers never quarrel unless paid for
It. Nearly one-half the deaths could
bo easily prevented for one-fifth the
funeral cost.
