'Fimo liret. examinations for the bridge at
this point wore made iii the winter of
1881.82 , these examinations consistiumg of
surveys and borimigs. The surveys aitowotl
that the general course of ( ho river was
such that by imoldiuig certain governing
points oim the east ahoro , and by render.
log time svcat shore perimmanent , the cimaim.

rock being unusually bevel , amid imm every
rCSIOC ( being well calculated to stmstaitm
time piers of mu bridge. As the result of
timeso oxamnimiations a plauu was deter.
mined upon for the rectification of time
river , and a alto selected for tIme bridge.
As time bridge was to be built across time
river , when confined by artificial mnoamma ,
and no longer free to cimango its course in
time bottom land , it was thougimt best to
build it of such diunoumsiona and such
character as thu features of the river at
points where its ciiaimnel has long been
permanent Imave shown to be necessary.
On that portion of ( Ito Missouri bo.
tween time l'latto and Kaw rivers whore
time b1ufl are but two or tiureo miles
apart , mommy places are to be found
where ilmo elmaimmiel has boemi porimmanont
for a long aenies of years ; in these places
( lie width of time river does not exceed
1,000 feet , and is sometimes materially
less. It was determined , timereforo , to
mnake time permnanormt bridge 1,000 foot
bug , to protect time shore by rip-rap and
rnattrass svork until it should be as stable
as a rocky blufF , and to close all slough
cimamunols on the east aide so that time
river would imavo no room for a width
greater than timat found at time stable
places below.
This bridge is time oleventlm constructed
across time Missouri river. At several
others imnportaimt rectification works have
been required , but it is ( lie first bridge
located at a place which my be des.
cribod as absolutely unstabho , with ito
permanent shore line on either side.
The rectification works consist , first ,
of a rip.rap protection of a governing
point on the east side about two miles
above the bridge , this point being selected -
lectod with reference to throwing the
channel against time west bank , second ,
of a dyke extending across tim sand bar ,
500 feet above the bridge line , and terminating -
minating opposite the east pier of the
bridge ; timird , of the revetment , partially
of brush but principally of steno on the
west bank of time river , from below the
bridge line to timopoint whore time current
deilectcd from time east side strikes this
siioro.
Time upper protection on time east side
was bouim in the epring of 1882 , and the
governing point was imold against a violent -
lent current during the whole summer of
( lint year , and again in the followiug
year up to this date. Thirty thousand

3,600 cords of brush have been used in

At aim early imour last evening the Ocr-

took imi wading timrough time somewhat

Mrs. Kraft.Frey is wimat might bo
termed a trimly mmmagnificent blonde with a

con appoaramico. Although somewhat iii-
dimmed to embonpoint , she miorer-
timeless mulovos about time stage
with time graceful mnovcmenta
of a fairy and in all her gestures ovincte

uviso blessed with a sweet soprano voice ,
wim'icli she knows how to use with great
effect. Those who kimosv her say she ox-

timat ouio might literally hmavo imeard a

theater arc , however , very orderly , and
there is never any of that whistling and
othior unpleasant noises in which time

scan theaters seem to take such great do.
light.Mr.
Mr. Hauck , as Fordimmamid , a Roman
emperor , performed imis part admirably.
In faat he always attains success iii any
part ho undertakes. Mr. Moichin , who
is so well and favorably known to fro.
quentors of the lerman theater , per-
somiatod the character of Archduke For-
dinamud iii a very hifo.hiko manner amid
niB innko.up was very appropriate. The
role of Duke Frank of Thurn was allotted -
lotted to Mr. Penner , who acquitted
hmimnsolf very creditably and Mr. Peclital
made ami excellent Frank \Volsor.
Mr. Baureis no Matiuias Overatolz , an
old and respected patrician played
with his accustomed artistic skill. Ho
also appeared in another role , that of a
peasamit. Mr. Pubs made a very
efficient Hans Overatolz , the patrician's
son. Mr. Lindcmanmu as time servant ,
Conrad , amid Mr. Jeddcr's as Marshall ,
wore both good.
Among the Indies who appeared on this
occasioil were Mrs. Baureis , as Catha-
rina , a very charming widow ; Miss
Thiessen as Anna Weisor , the wife of the
old patrician , and Mrs. Lindemami as
Brigitte , the maid. Mrs. Puls.Ahl made
a very successful hit as iCadislaus , the
archduke's page. She has a fascinatimig
figure , which was doubly attractive in
male attire.
. Time Musical Union orchestra enlivened
( Ito piece throughout with a very carefully -
fully chosen selection of popular airs.
At the close of the histrionic portion of
the programme the seats in the audito-
riumn were stored away and the aulieuico
joimied in time festive dance with mmmcii
enthusiasm. Mrs. Kraft-Froy may well
fool proud of the hearty reception she
received on her first appearance mu time
wild west , and it is to be hoped her
charming figure will often grace .tho
boards of the German stage.

maim churcim , and of some of time unauc-
ceasful attempts at reform , I come to-
imiglitto speak of certain clearer and
more successful immfluemmcos that ushered
in time reformation. Before time morning
comes there are always promnommitory
flashes of light which , if they may mmot
dispel time mists , at least simow their oxis-
( once amid dqnsity. So there were heroic
timimukcr before Luther , who by time
brightness of timeir piety revealed tIme
darkness of tha corruption in time cimurcim ,
although they wore imot able to remove it.
It is to time lives of sorno of these that I
wish ti , call your atteiitioii to-uiigimt.
Aimd as a mmmotto that timoy all acted upon
I immve , cimoscmm time words of time apostler ,
, ' \vu ought to obey God rather titan
uimuu. '
'rite mmmcmi who precede a great mmmovo-
imueimt are by mme macam to lu , forgotten.
They should share in time honor of the
more fortummato ones who see ( lie accom-
plishmmncmmt of their united hopes amid
aims. 'rimey must bear time ridicule of
tIme world as beginning a premature and
umureasomuibie agitatioim ; they must endure -
duro limo fear of failure , amid not infro-
quemitly must sustain bitter persecution
or death itself. But I smy , all hail
to time mmmcmi who begin the agita.
tioni of public reforms. Lot time

phuilantimropis and silly dreamimers. Time
sober sense of history declares tlmat they
