The convention was called to consider the best means to shut out thu Importation of dressed inoats to Lincoln , and other points in the state , from Chicago niut Kansas City , Vig orous speeches were made by a number of prominent farmers. Some of them urged thut Lancaster county ulono entailed n loss of ! ,000 | > ur month from the encroachment of foreign butchers. The fact wus cited that dressed moats wuro shipped hero from Kan sas City und Chicago nnd sold to local butchers at prices thut killed Homo markets , and thu necessity of combining against such importation was strongly urged.

PLiAYS ANl'pLnXVKUS. at llio VurluiiH Theaters for lllf * Cotnlii'r XV'pok. Amusement lovers will have nn opportun ity to witness Charles Hoyt's latest success , "A Midnight Bell , " ut Boyd's , tlio first three nights of this week. It Is the custom of Mr. Hoyt's friends to refer to him as u very lucky young man. Mr , Hoyt is a very .keen und careful student of our present dramatic stage. Ho has a most sagacious comprehen sion of the nmuscmont tastes and de mands of what run bu culled the multitude , and to them ho caters. In "A Midnight Hull" Mr. Hoyt seems to Imvo struck the kuynoto of the puullo fancy. Ho recognizes the dnumnd for plays of the "Old Home stead" order nnd has written "A Midnight lloll" to take nlvuntago of the public tnsto and the dollars that alwajs follow from its gratification , The enormous run the piece hud of nearly five months In Now Yorlc U pretty good evidence thut Mr. Hoyt had caught the theatrical public. New York critics are unanimous Ir their verdict that "A Midnight Bell" is by far the best work of this clover author. It is said to bo absolutely different from his former ef forts. The place has a distinct plot. The scone is laid in Now England , and introduces thu country school , tbo village church choir rehearsal , the sowing circle nnd chatting so ciety , the coasting slide , and every character thai Is included In country pleasure , oven the city dude and the school murin , nnd it is needless to say that Mr. Hoyt makes every character prominent enough to bo u necessity In the ntory. which lulls of a bunk robbery and the various undertakings In capturing the thief , who , us in 'real career , turns out to bo the rushlcr. nnd who Is caught by the In. uoccnt efforts of a country deacon to extri cate himself from a church belt'ry , In which ho had been uccldonttally imprisoned. The pleca Is In four acts uud the entire Bconory for tlio production is curried by the company , which is said to bu not only very intricate and novel in construction , but won derfully realistic. Thut there Is great curiosity nuionK Mr. Hoyt's many admirers to sco what his now effort Is , Is evinced by the very largo demand for scats. Commencing next Thursday evening , Thomas W. ICoeao , the eminent trjgodian , will appear at Boyd's In n comprehensive und brilliant repertoire , presenting on Thurs day , the opening night , Bulwur Lytton's masterpiece , "Kicbolluu " On Friday nlfht , for the first time here , ho will bo seen In his latest grand successful creation of "Louis XI.

Edmund Lawrence. James Mitchell , Wlllnru Nowull und Mrs. S. B. Bjhn , who for tlfty- two seasons has boi-n oao of the shining lights of the American stave , us well as others of ooual merit. Every work as presented will bu accorded maunlflcout sur roundings , and particular pains will bo glva'i to thu perfection of every detail as regards costuming , which will bo historically cor- roct. Of Mr , Kecno's acting nothing need houaid.

THEY SAW LITTLE TO ADMIRE. A. Banquet That Could Not ISo Han dled Very L'oor In Public Im provements AFew Don't liiko the Town. Omaha's delegation of bankers who attended - tended the national convention at Kansas City last week have very little praise for that town , und more especially its social fea tures. While the citizens there did every thing possible to entertain and interest them , tbo place is so provincial , so far behind , us compared with Omaha , in public Improve ments that they saw very little to admire. With all her boasted facilities for taking care of larxo crowds , the bankers' conven tion of 800 delegates almost swnuipcd her. The big Midland , the mammoth Coatcs and other hotels seemed to bo so crowded thut the Omaha party , who three weeks ahead engaged nine bedrooms , discovered on their arrival there that tney would bo compelled to put up with three , nnd there fore hud to sleep on cots. In addition to throe bed rooms , the dclucution had a double parlor at thu Midland , which served them as headquarters , where they could meet their friends aud discuss matters of business. A. U. Wyuinn says ho wus specially favored In the matter of sight scuint ; bo- CIIUBO Joe Ilpr drove him about ono after noon. The others were given a ride on tno cable , having first bcuii notified that It was u safer means of transportation than the average Kansas City hack und carriage. Henry W. Yules says many of the dole- Bates were puzzled to know what the warning of danger meant , but ho soon found nut that the streets were not only full of holes , but very muddy and otherwise in terribly bad condition , "In private enterprises , however , " continued Mr. Gates , " 1 must give Kansas City credit for being well up with the times , though if you spouk of public Improvements Omaha Is far ahead of hor. One man proudly Informed mo thut thu city's ' debt was only $10,000 , \yhoroupon I explained to him tlio bouelll of having a much larger debt and batter Im provements. Tlia streets uro narrow , dirty aud badly paved. Nevertheless , Kansas City is , I must admit , a big town , too hilly to liva in , though slio does an Iipmcnso umouut of business. " ' It takes Luther Drake to toll about the banquet. Holng wall posted , from having considerable exporlohcu , as to how such affairs should bo couductuJ , ho probably ob served matters clospr than any ono else ; still all ugicu that thu , affair was entirely too big on undcrlaliint , ' for Kans.xs City. In the iirst place , it hud to bu given In n low , ono- fitory hall , situated In , tlio suburbs ut least n mile from the hotel. It was noted on the in vitations to commence nt' 7:1)0 : ) , an awkward hour ; consequently the bankers missed thulr supper , and were compelled to wait at the hall lu a cold tent until 9:15 : before the doors were thrown opon. 'Ihen they finally iot ; seated and tlio soup came on , and It , too , was cold , so that the outlook for u wlillo wus most dismal , "All duy u story had been cir culated , " says Mr , Drake , "to the effect thut wo would have eight kinds of wine ; there fore I prepared myself to have au unusually Jolly time. When I sat down I noticed that there were six glasses ut each plate , though the bill of fare contained butflvo changes of liquid refreshments , Homo of us speculated a long while a to the object of having on extra glass , and wo finally decided that there were two for clurct. " When the waiters ueirun to get drunk , about 1'J , Luther pulled out and went homo. Fred Davis describes the banquet a being very tine , but liorrloly conducted. Plates were laid for 070 guests. They had 800 waiters , part of whom were Imported from Bt. Louis , St. Joe , Leaven worth , Topeka and elsewhere , and they all trot so full on wlno thut by the time the toasts cauio it was iin- S.

Tlio banquet wus in every respect elaborate , nnd cost doubtless many thousand dollars , but for want of decant and sufficiently extensive accommodations to spread and servo such n feast tliu managers of it had more than thev could handle. "The experience of Kansas City with this event , " observed Mr. Vutes , "should bo a warning to Omaha. Some of our bnuUers wanted the convention Meld hero , and we could easily Imvo gotten It , but others of us discouraged the proposition , and I , for one , am very gild timt wo did. When wo do brine the association to this city we want to bo able to entertain its members bettor than our rival down the river , nnd that time will not , come until we pot a big hotel. " Mr. Uavis seemed to bo inoro forcibly im pressed with the beauty of Kansas City than liny of the others , though ho would not tr.ido his residence in Omaha for ono thoro. "It is allvo and entorprisincr city. " said ho , "but lot the railroads do as much for the interest of Omaha us they do for that town and we will go ahead of her In growth , com mercial importance and business oatorpriso very quickly. 1 think the future of Omaha superior to Kansas City in every respect. Sue lias a batter country to dr.iw from. " While they were at Kansas City the bankers of Nebraska , took the Initiatory steps to organize n state association. The following committed was appointed to ar range for a meeting , as well ns Hi : tlielimo and tdaco at which it shall be hold for the purpose of perfecting the organl/a- tlon. A. i , .
