ON THE
Stage j
"The Traveling Salesman.
The ) weie all so natural Hob
Hlako and Mrs. Babbitt and "Wattay"
ind Julius- that ) ou forgot you were
it a play and imagined vou were bee-
ng leal life In some little countiy de
pot or some small town depot In No-
Liraska "The Traveling Salesman"
was so fat and plump , as Mis. Babbit
said , that you liked him the minute
lie came on and kept liking him more.
You've seen him and the rent of "tho
bo.va" who were wltn him , a thousand
times In Norfolk. They're at the Ox-
mud ami at the Pacific today and to
morrow and next week and next year.
You know him before he came out on
the stage
Theie were no tin tiling climaxes to
get a melodiama uproar of applause ,
but from the minute the curtain
lalsod until Hob Blake telephoned for
one pieacher and two witnesses , there
was a constant How of rippling , spark
ling American wit of keenest t.vpe a
humor that kept the audience effer
vescing like brome sel/er.
The slang that James Forbes has
worked Into the show la Immense.
And It's the real , true-to-life dope , too.
It ought to be put up in little tins and
sold , tor It'a so hard to remember at
just one hearing.
"Make a noise like a hoop and roll
away , " says Bob and he says a hun
dred other clever things that seem to
hit the nail.
Mr Kehrwald as "Julius" Is as clev
er a colored porter as one could wish
to see Mr. O'Neill as Tedd Watts is
a traveling man you meet every day
and people like him. Miss Huneker
was highly acceptable as Mrs. Babbit ,
but Miss Tyler was hardly as real ami
as human In her part as the rest of
them.
The audience was the biggest of the
season , there being a largo number
from out of town. There were a cou
ple of hundred of north Nebraska's
prominent traveling salesmen In for
the show.
In the scenic production , Mr. Har
ris has lived up to his reputation. The
beauty about it all was that It was so
intensely natural that you recognizec
it.
Bryan Camp Disturbed.
Lincoln. Api 11 1C. The Biyan
campaign for county option in Ne
biabka lost a point last week when W
11. Piice declared himself a candidate
for the United States senate and an
noiinced that he stood for county op
tlon. Pi Ice , who Is a democrat , and a
Biyan demociat at that , was the first
candidate in the btate to declaie him
self as standing on the Bryan platform
of county option.
Hut Instead of being gratified at the
Piice announcement of adherence to
the Biyan platform , the Bryans are
veiy much put out at Price's actions
In tact , the Biyan plans have been
feat full ) upbet tor the time being , at
least.
It haa been learned that before sail
ing for South America , Mr. Bryan
made airangementb for a full state
ticket , every man to stand on the
county option plank. The slate was
not to be announced as a Bryan "make
up , " however , but each candidate waste
to come out on his own accord , seem
ingly , and take his stand on the Bryan
slate.
But Price was not on this Bryan
slate at all , and when he came out
with his announcement he caused con
sternation in the Bryan camp. Ac
cording to the Bryan list , W. H.
Thompson , "the Little Giant" of the
Platte , ' should have declated himself
for the senate on the Bryan local op
tlon ticket , but he dela > ed too long
and Piice got In ahead with his an
nouncement and statement of his plat
form. Thompson announced his can
didacy all right , but neglected , until
too late , to say that he stood on the
county option platform.
Finds His Slate Broken.
Bryan cannot turn down Price , who
has been a lifelong democrat , and was
the very first to step Into the fight
to asbist Bryan to cai ry the state for
county option , although the "peerless
leadei" depends much upon Thompson
In the coining fight Biyan would like
to help Thompson set me the nomina
tion , but at the outset of the cam
paign he finds bib slate broken and
his ariangements disarrayed.
Thompson is a "standing candidate"
for some office , and scarcely has an
election occuned In the last fifteen
jcais but that Billy Thompson's name
has appealed on the ballot for some
ollice. He bears the distinction , how
ever , of always having lost his fight.
Price is said to tarry around in bib
pocket much of the old time popullbt
vote , and he Is no mean foe in the
light foi the nomination for senator.
He lb said to have been offeied the
congresbional nomination in his dis
trict if he would consent to pull out
of the senatorial race , but refused the
offer.
Warm Fight Predicted.
The conseivatlon congress hold In
Lincoln last week was made the ex
cuse for a gathering of democratic
politicians fiom all sections of the
btate , and a general Interchange of
views was Indulged in. All agiecd
that the greatest battle ever fought
In Nebraska among democrats will
take place at the coming primaries on
the question of county option. The
leaders In the fight for county option
will , of course , bo the Bryans nnd
Tom Alien , W. J. Bryan's brother-ln-
Jaw. If William J. Bryan la not hereto
to tnko personal charge of the cam
paign , his brother , C. W. Bryan , will
take his place.v
The opposition hosts will ho under
the command of Mayor Jim Dahlman ,
of Omaha , the smoothest politician of
them all.
And Governor Shallenborgor , al-
hough an advocate of the 8 o'clock
aw , will bo an onlooker , hoping to
benefit by the result of the fight. In
'act. Governor ' Shallenborger has an-1
louncc'd that he will stand for re
lection on any platform the state con
volition chooses to build.
Thinks County Option Will Win.
Not all demounts In the state aie
> pposcd to the Hi.van county option
) lan , and Vlitor Wilson , a big demo
. iat of Polk county , thinks county
iptloti will win out. He sa > a
"I believe the demonatte coin en
Ion will Indotse county option. I tin-
lei stand that Mi. Hi ) an Is going to
stump the state for It dining the
nonth of May , and It seems to mo
he paity will place county option In
the plat foi in. I am not a candidate
'or anything , but will suppoit Gover-
uir Shallenbeiger "
Wilson , In his desire to help Slml
lonbeiger , has a plan by which ho
' to shift the question of count )
aptlon oft the state convention and to
the legislative conventions , thus per
mitting the governor to escape em-
ban assmont The plan Is to pledge
each candidate for goveinor or sign
any prohibition bill passed by the leg-
Islatuio , and then to penult the legls
latlvo conventions to Instinct their
representatives to vote for or analnst
county option , as the electors wish ,
Await His Homecomina.
Although it will lie two , 01 pos
sibly tinee. weeks before Mi. Biyan
retuins to Nebraska , there Is wide
speculation among demouats as to
what action he will take when he
leaches Lincoln and discoveis the ser
ious deflection among dcmociats , due
to the Hian county option announce
ment , lie has been kept falily well
Informed on those events , the cable
being used very fieely bv bis biothei ,
but the man ) details of the big family
low will not teach him until lie ar-
lives home That he will plunge Into
the thickest of the campaign light has
alieady been announced , but whether
01 not he w ill attempt to foi re his
ideas on the candidates themselves Is
not known.
But one thing , Nebraska democracy
Is cowering , half bold , half afraid ,
awaiting the coming of the former
master.

vices and take an active part in the
affairs of the congregation on account
of failing health and strength.
Mr. Frederick Strate was joined in
holy matiimony with his surviving

TO MEASURE A BLOW'S POWER.
M. Bertlllon Has Invented a New Ma
chine for Police Use.
Paris , AptII 1C. M. Bertlllon , whoso
nstem of Indentlllcatlon Is In use by
the police the woild over , has added
anothei Ingenious contilvance to the
mechanical methods of detection.
This new contilvance measuies the
blow which is all nek , whethei It he by
b.v a bin hit'a tool on a door , a window ,
or on a human being. The Instrument
consists of two dimmo mefeia which
aie placed at right anglea , ao that
either the piesaute or the hoil/ontal
tiaction can be measuied. The meth
od in vogue enables the measuier to
ti mister the power of the blow upon
any other Instrument or person that
may bo selected. The ptactlcal value
of the Invention lies In being able to
deteimlne positively , In cases of men
who have been arieated on suspicion
enl ) , whether they could have dealt
a ceitaln kind of blow with n sup
posed weapon.
