DKS Moixr.s , la. , Jan. 27. [ Specfal Tele-
'pram totheUii : . ] The registry bill , which
1ms been under hot discussion In the senate
todny , is based upon the general registry
Jaw n.isscd'two ytiars ago. That was Iowa's
llrst/oxiH-rlment with the registration , and
like nil experiments , its defects were brought
cut by , trial. There has been n great deal of
clamor against the registry law because of
i.tlfroc. principal objections to it. Thcso wore
thu expense It caused , the nuisance of fre
quent registration and the operation of tl ;
law to deprive persons from voting who could
iiot-bo present to register on the days pro
scribed by law. Under present arrange.
in6nts it costs some S 1,400 or $ lr > 00 for onu
registration in this city. The law , as
amended proposes to reduce the ext -
( t > ci\BO \ by cutting down and limiting the
compensation of Judges nnd clerks of
registration. Under present iirrangemontM
voters are compelled to take the trouble of
registering at every election , general or
upeclal , QVCII should they come but four
weeks apart. The ainemlcd law requires
registration for presidential elections and
provides that in other years the lists may bo
made up from the lists of the year last pro
ceeding und adding such names ns have never
been registered , exempting school elections
entirejy from -its operation. Thus another
hardship is avoided and another oujcction re
moved. The now bill also provides that
1 when voters iiru out of town and so unable to
J register on the appointed days they may have
a chance on election day by making atmlavlt
to tlio necessary facts. It is believed that
with these corrections tlio registry law will
meet with general favor and bo permanently
accepted. Tlio objection to the old law is s < i
btrong that unless these defects are corrected
there will bo a strong effoit to do away with
it entirely. The debate to-day largely as
KUincd a partisan character and was quite
heated ut times. The democrats were op-
ixjsed to the bill or sought to weaken its pro
visions with amendments that would glvo it
but little effect. There was u good deal ol
cumpalgn talk of thu stump speech order ,
which protracted the debate several hours.

i last legislature and the bill nowunderdiscus
nion is a substitute for it. The bill was takci
up by sections , the consideration of the second
end section occupying the entire afternoon
The general changes were in some of tin
hraseology adopted. The main discussioi
was over thu amendment offered by Kcgler
of Jackson , conlining the registration t <
cities of the llrst class. The constitutionality
of the bill wns argued at length by Hutch
ison and Holler. These speaking favorably
to the bill were Hutchison , Woolson , Sweney
Young and Leeds ; opposed , Kepler , Dodge
ttmd Holler. The matter was undecided at (
o'clock , and an adjournment was taken untl
fl o'clock Saturday morning , milking the bil

AMUSEMENTS.
Kocno Greeted Hy a Large Audience
- ntr Boyd's. -
It wns nearly 0 oclock be-foro the curtnin
raised on the first scene in "Othello" at the
Hoyd last night. The large audience was n
most good-natured onu and patiently sat ia
semi-durkness for u long hour without any
unusual demonstration of disapproval ut the
delay. Mr Keeno's appearance failed to
elicit any welcoming applause , but this is not
strange us ho has changed greatly since his
last appearance in Omaha and fewrecog-
ni/.ed bun. Mr. KeQiie was cast us lago , and
in the portrayal of this crafty and cruel
character he fails to display the talcnt.s
which lui exhibits ns the Moor. Mr. Wheel-
ock's Othello was fair , though his conception
of the parj. . is inferior to that of the star.
Miss Hoyle nsr Desdemona was excellent.
She seemed to fully reuluo the importance
of tlio character and invests it with a charm
ing womanly interest that ia good to look
upon and hear. The balance of the company
are good.
AT TIIK oiuxn.
The second performance of "Hidden
Hand" by Cora Van Tassel's company at the
Grand last night was witnessed by a large
nud enthusiastic audience. The play has
been constructed with a view to satisfy a
popular audience and afford an evening of
entertainment without exacting n tribute of
mental effort. The setting of the piece ia
excellent and the climaxes are worked up
with u great deal of "skill.

frozen stilT. Ho put them in a barrel o !
water to thaw out. About three hours
after ( so Dempsey said ) ho went to the
barrel and found that the pickerel had
thawed back to lifo , but ho could find
no smelts. The pickerel had cuton
them.

widowed mother , a daughter yet unmarrlei
and a daughter by tlio name of Mrs. liich

two children. They unfolded a tale of mis

They occupied squalled quarters in a tenc

wore unable to pay their rent when it fol
due. Securing the services of a constabl
the landlady , who is represented to bo wortl

Ur. Harnsdalo Was the sjieakcr last evening

follows : i * i
Ladles und Gentlemen : Wo enter the
templi ) of anatomy and she greets us with
open Hrni'1) ) , nml gives us a hearty wclcomo to
her glia'stly ( mtr'phosttv department. You
will exnmhm the human 1 ody In all the
minute detijlls of It ? Intricate structure , from
its rough tmd Uul.V frame work to Its won
derful telephonic apparatus the nervous sys
tem through which mind talks to matter and

wull versed In anatomical constructions1 that
his paUentH Mil , api > oar as transparanclcs
and 'In ! will bo enabled at once to see through
thodlfllcultlesof ncaso and as n souvenir of
this department ho will be furnished with a
skeleton for his closet a very necessary pos
session of every surgeon's household. The
physiologist shows you the wheels ot life In
motion , the process of lifo , growth and de
velopment , of decay und tcpair. Ho graphi
cally describes for you in tlio feverish elo-
quuncQ of an enthusiast in science with
standard df health well dytlned , you are pre
pared properly to estimate tlio deviations of
disease and to | ippreciute tlio necessity for
professional luterferance and relative suc
cess or failure of your efforts at repair. The
chemist unfolds the mysteries of analytical
demonstration. Tlio mlcroscopist gives Us
glimpses of minute forms nnd nppearuncos
which the unaided eye could never detect or
the imagination picture. Tim largo army of
suffering men , women and children that pass
in procession before the surgeon in n per
petual march throughout his active
priu'tlco ' titlord abundant material
for thbught and research and demonstrates
his powers in repairing the ravages of acci
dents or disease upon the human form. The
heart with a quick impulse sends the blood
all brigtit and scarlet through thu great aortic
tree and its branches , to every nook and
corner of the human frainu. The various
organs and tissues of tlio body drink from
this river of lifo their sustenance. They
suck up all the beauty and freshness of the
beautiful current and pour back into it all
the waste and pollution of their continuous
decay. Tito stream , now black and muddy ,
turns sluggishly in its course and seeks once
moro the center of its lifo. On its way it en
counters a palo tributary from tlio organs of
digestion. The swollen tide at hist comes
homo to the heart , nnd with a convulsive
throb is carried to tlio lungs for its benedic
tion of tlio blood of life. The transformation
is instan'aneous nnd marvelous. The stream
is again bright nud happy and scarlet , and
lilted once more , for tho. uses of lite.
I wish I could to-night map out
practical suggestions that would refresh
and bunellt many a long expanse of life that
would bu dreary and barren without them ,
nnd be the beacon light that would warn you
in tluios of danger in placing upon the can
vas of the future your fancy pictures the
central figure of them all , the ideal surgeon.
An artist with his palette , brush , stool nml
umbrelln leaves his studio for a fe\v glimpses
of nuturo. If ho meets with no scene suni-
cicntly interesting to bo sketched as a whole
ho looks lor fragmentary bounties a shapely
tree , u jutting crug , a ruined house , u bit of
hike , of stream , of sky pleases his fancy , and
are sketched and placed In his portfolio to bo
subsequently blended in a work of art , or if
his fancy runs to figures a graceful form , a
handsome face , n beautiful hand , n well-
formed foot pleases his fancy they are re
membered and subsequently combined to Ins
satisfaction. Bo in the completion of the
true surgeon , if no individual of your ac
quaintance is sufficiently perfect to net as
your best ideal , and I trust thcro is none ,
you have to construct ono for yourselves ,
make the face intelligent , cheerful , patient
and kind , thu head poised in an attitude of
respectful attention , the hands skillful , yet
gentle and ready to perform whatever work
they may have to do. The feet tireless , will
ing und impatient for their dally rounds.
Givu the whole ilguro u bearing of confidence ,
ability , dignity and kindness. Tlio surgeon Is
a philosopher as ivell as a mechanic. Ho must
dual with men's hearts nnd minds as well ns
with their bodies. The part that concerns
the surgeon la tlio central figure , and he must
try nnd make his life as near it as jwasiblo u
credit to himself and to his profession.
Above all things make the effect a cheer
ful ono as the Warm rays of the summer sun
melt the snow and ice und awaken to activity
the hidden forces of nature , which tlio cold
and frost of winter chill nnd destroy , ns the
iiiild nnd effective measures banish diseased
conditions which cruder and severermeasures
only aggravate. No doubt but you have all
experienced the fact that the genial
presence of u warm-hearted surgeon
will encourage to returning health.
The world nbout ps is a mirror in which we
see but n reflection of ourselves nnd our na
tive selfishness , love of worldly prosperity ,
sensuality and wickedness generally cloud
our vision with a veil of eartn , through
which wo catch but glimpses of the higher
lifo wo all aspire to aud to which so few are
able to attain.
At the close of the lecture the doctor re
plied to a number of practical surgical ques
tions put by his auditors. Among them were :
How to stop n hemorrhage ; the modus op
erand ! of cutting off a linibthe ; repair of n
fracture ; why does the study of medicine
lead men over to infidelity ; how to dress guu-
shot , railroad and other kind of wounds.
THK SBWKlt INVKSTIGATION.

men of the county building , nnd waited for
people with grievances , who cnmo not.
Finally the committee called upon Mr. Mc

phatically denied that ho is neglecting his
duties , and represented the sewer system to
1)0 ) in good shape , outside of the bower on
Harney street between Nineteenth and

After un exchange of opinions ns to how
the so wcr system could bo conducted , the

ns "Old Hutch" wnn on 'change in pt-rpon

certain commission house which usually buys
for ICent. The Ititlueiica of these two leaders
was suniclent to glvo courage to thq slimllor
traders who were already favorable to the
bull side and to scare in the smaller shorts.
