Judge Wakeloy. One uf hu chief charactl'HiUci is a fund of humor , of the dry , uuoVpcciad tort , and , therefore the more effective. This humor at least two ot bis sons , Arthur and Hlril , have inherited to a marked degree. Another son , Lucius , is now occupying n responsible posi tion in the service of the Chicago , Hurling- ton & Quincy railroad at Chicago. As a lad lie visited his father at Lincoln when the lat ter was a member of the constitutional con vention of 1S71 , of which the latter was ouo of the official reporters.

Tliuiston has for u decade and a half occupied a prominent position at the bar. In IbT.'i he ran against the la'o James W. Savage as a candidate for the Judgeship of this district , and was probably the only lawyer available tor the position who could have so nearly achieved success ns did Mr. Thurston. Ono of the most important local cases in which l.o lias taken part was upon the occasion of the trial of Charles uad lien Deroat ! , Indicted for the crime of arson. Tho-.o brothers were young men who came from Now Yorlc a dozen years ago and sson established UiemsuUcs in the gppd will of u laiRo circle of people , Oip.-ciuliy with tlioso of the Kplicopal church , and whmi they began business for themselves in a hat store on the north sulu of Farnain street , between Thirteenth and Fourteenth , they lecelvod n considerable slmro of patronage. A year later ttio frame building in which they wore located was burned to the ground and indications that the burning was not nn accident was easily detected. The stock was heavily irsured and most of the insurance coiniunis's Interested refused to pay on their policies. An investigation resulted in the ar- icstof the two brothers , n young man who was associated with them in business ( but who established his innocence ) and u man who was ostensibly u carpenter by trade , but \MIS not noted for his industry in thai line or any other. At the tlmo of this occurrence N. J niim- ham was district attorney and .Mr. Thurston was engaged by the insurance companies in- terestcd to assist him in the prosecution of thu case ns the establishment of ttie guilt of the accused would release the companies from the payment of their policies. The so cial standing of the De Greats and olhcr cir cumstances rendered the case onu of more than ordinary prominence. One of these cir cumstances was the fact that the upper lloor of the store had been occupied by Frank J. Currier us a photograph gallery and for sleepIng - Ing quarters and that it was by the merest chance he escaped from lua burning build ing ( the lire occurring about midnight ) \\lth his life , losing all his personal effects and thu stock and material in the gallery , on \\hichtiohndnoinsuranec. Currier's ability as an artist , established by many years of the closest attention to business , had llxcd him In the high regard of the people , and his mis fortune and narrow escupo from death Intensified the Intoioit taken by the public. In th - trial. E. L. Eaton's family oc cupied as a rosldciiro the rooms at the rear of his gallery , adjoining the hat store on the \\cst , and as the suttlnc tire to the latter bulldinc in the do.ui hours of Iho night ren dered the burning to death of these people u strange probability , and increased the public indignation n hinst the perpetrators of the crime , thu court room was crowded to its utmost capacity during the hearing of the CilSO.

Now is the time to buy property in East Omaha ; you cannot go the same distance from the postoiTice in any othcrj-vdirectiq n--and buy lots the same size at the price we are offertrigthem in this addition. Don't forget that this property is high and level and only two and three-quarter miles from the postoiTice , one mile from the manufacturing center of EaSt Omaha. We also have property in Steele & Wood's Addition to East Omaha , which the argument hu made in summing up the evidence In the case against the elder Do Great was a masterpiece of Impassioned elo quence , the equal of which is seldom hoaitl in a lifetime. Thu facts brought out on the trial were sufficient to enlist his highest powers , and the coU-bloodod , cruel thrusts made In the published letter referred to reused every manly fibre in his mental composition - position and the result was a two hours' tor rent of burning wjrds which carried court , Jury and nudlanco along In Its resistless flood and seemed the conviction of the de fendant , The carpenter was also sent to the pcnltentliuy as the man wlo actually applied the match.

As the season was a very wet ono , the roads and trails were full of mudholcs , in which supply wagons were stuck and mules and oxen mired. Wagons and animals worn unloaded several tunes n day to extricate them from the mud , and in ono instance at least fourteen days were spent on the road from Stockton , fifty miles away. Flour reached $1 a pound , rice the same , pork and bacon $1.UO a pound , saleratus ? 1 ( ! n pound , and spermaceti candles $1 each. An ounce of gold was the price of a pick or shovel , and almost anything needed , exiopt fresh beef , commanded a proportion ate price. That ad minors did not cot rich is accounted lor in the statement that It took a fair claim to pay expenses , The short dura tion of a placer claim , the loss of time in tlnding another , and Iho too general restle- ness , tell the story of many failures to realize a fortune by oven those who were most lucky. Too often It was duo to extravagance , gambling , or thu guz/llng of brandy or whisky at fS u bottle , but , drunk or sober , ono was obliged to pav two ounces for n pair of pantaloons , ? 100 for a pair of long-legged boots , and fl expressage for a letter. Minister U aril's A scandal at Mnryvlllo , N. D , has culmin ated in the lllght of W. M. Ward , a Method ist minister. Ho leavca i wife and two children In destitute circumstances Charges of the most serious nature were made against the minister. Ho was waited on bv about twenty of the citizens , and asked to explain the reports In circulation. He denied in a general way that ho was guilty , hut his answers on specillc points were evasive. There was absolute proof that lie was unduly intimate with a woman named Mrs. L. D. Lewis , and that they had lived together as man and wife at a Cassol- ton hotel for two days. Ward refused to meet the persons wtio had scon him at Cas- scltnn. As soon as ho realized that his con gregation had secured clean proof against htm , he began unking preparations to leave.

The public , the many sided , flcklo minded , capricious , whimsical personage whom au thors court in their prefaces , to whom editors anil singers and players cater , whoso smile makes glad , whoso frown Is terrible and who is yet so evanescent , Intangible , that it will bo held accountable to no tribunal for error or crime did any one over try to conceive of it as a living , sentient , acting being ! Did any one ever try to construct in imagination a person having all of Its instincts , traits , tendencies , possessing nil of its passions and appetites , its weaknesses and its strength , its follies and its wisdom ) Wo sometimes imperfectly personify the public when wo attribute to it some single trait , o. g. , its love of fair play or its gulli bility ; but whoever conceived of it in its en tirety ) Fairy tale has no Griflln so gro tesque , no giant so uncouth , no hobgoblin so horrible as would bo the inhuman creation which could in ono personality adequately represent the public. From the nature of Its mission the theater is not expected to ho serious. Its chior olllco is to amuse. It deals in the grotesque , the ridiculous. It is the parade ground of hypoc risy , the hotbed and the homo of shams. From the beautifully colored "Itlho" on the bulletin in front , past the gentlemanly face framed In iho box'oftlco window across the mock Holds of llctltioiis green through the courts and corridors of the feigned ualaces of pseudo kings , to the oroperty man's don In the darkest and dingiest corner of the stage , shams greet the eye or din the cars of the beholder. The soubrette , whoso artless and volutllo simplicity almost makes the benedict wish that ho had waited and drives the verdant alas , not too verdant Jo-mcsso doroo into wild excesses of gallantry and extravagance , dances and .sings and flirts and laughs from behind a make-up which hides the decay of a remote and long since vanished youth , and invests the earnings of her "artless and volatile tile simplicity" in the support and mainte nance of n bundle of wortiilessness to which she Is bound by marriage vows , but oy no other tlo save that of Bclf-respcct The hunt and tottering old ago whoso wise saws anil ancient max ims pass for profoundcst wisdom is a "thing of threads and patches. " Ills sil very locks are ] ute or horse hair. Ills stoop is an affectation. The lines of bis wnnklod forehead and face are carefully applied charcoal ' coal or bitumen. No sooner 'does the llnal curtain fall than , like a bent' sapling , ho Illes back to his former erectness , and shortly after emerges from the staga door , unrecng. nUablu in his smart array , and with other young bucks and bloods of the company or the town , starts forth on whatever lark may offer tuo rarest sport or the -wildest dissipa tion. tion.Tho The leading lady , usually the stntro heroine , whose famllv reverses touch your pity and whoso placid serenity amid misfortunes Indi cate , as you may Imagine , that her descent has boon derived from somn long line of woli bred ancestry , was taught ull she knows about manners at ttio stage rehearsal.

Jerome , that very clever young dram atist , in his delightful book called "Stago Land" thus speaks of the stage heroine : "Sho'is always in trouble and don't she lot you know It , too ) Her hfo Is undeniably a hard ono. Nothing gees right with hor. Wo ull have our ttoubles , but the .stago hero ine never has anything else. If she only got ono afternoon a week off from trouble or had her Sundays frco itjwould ho something , "Uut no , misfortune stalks beside her from week's beginning to week's end , "Sho Is very good , Is the stage hero ine. The comic man expresses a bo- 1 uf that she Is a born angel , bho reproves him for this with a tearful smile ( It wouldn't bo her smllo if it wasn't tearful ) . " Hut to resume a discussion of what could with ontlro propriety bo headed "Theatrical Shams. " The comedian , whoso gibes , gambols , songs and Hashes of merriment are wont to set whole audiences in a roar , is n stranger to mirth nimsclf. Under his paint are deep sunken cheeks and a sallow complexion and tils heart is heavy with Uomestlc'griof. Uut theatrical shams ere not restricted to the personnel of the stago. Its whole mechanism and machinery are but a system of mute shams , conceived to aid the walking and talking shams who pose and parade be- fort ) the footlights. The silvery orb that lights the lover to his lady's balcony , or with soft and tender efful gence wraps nature In such sweet and dreamy repose , or that looks down benlg- nantly upon the lending lady or comic man going out completely when the villain ma kcs his aypearanco , Is a combination of cheese box and tallow candle held up on the end of u polo by ouo of the stage hands behind the scenes. The snow that envelops the poor waif and her nqblo rescuer from the storm is not real snow that yeu see covering the earth in win ter , but line blLi of paper sifted down upon them from the stngo loft by ono of the "tly" hands as they make their entree. The thun der that echoes from peak to peak of canvas mountain ranges Is not the genuine roar of heaven's artillery , but proceeds from a rusty strip of sheet iron which hangs from a poir in the prompt entrance which is shaken by the stage manager. And so ono could go on revealing the shams which exist about the mimic world , but with what result ) Nevertheless , of all the impositions and do- colts at which satire has aimed its shafts , theatrical shams are orobably the least of fensive. Society not only affects virtues she aoi's not possess , but peislsts In her Pharisaical airs after her glitter has been shown to bo tinsel. The theater on the other hand , though It deals In meek courage and Hash pan light ning , never attempts to hoodwink you with out llrst tipping you the wink. It practices Its deceptions only on these willing to bo deceived. H "keeps" exactly what it advertises. It is ut Inast an honest sham and for that must bo commondca. TUB LouNnnn. The fact that Mr. Willard Spenser's "Little Tycoon" Is to bo the attraction at Hoyd's the llrst half of next week Is pretty well known. It Is a rmnarkablo truth that a favorite attraction can bo advertised sufficiently well to Jill a theatre nightly tor a regular engagement in about ono-tcnth the time that Is require I to put something new before the public. The "Little Tycoon" has been hoard In Omaha tlmo and again -always to good business -and It Is s.ifu to say that the coming engagement will not be a'dollar behind the others In point of receipts , 'i'nu opera has always boon a favorite. It seems almost impossible for the public to tire of its nrutty airs. For Instance , "Lovo Comes Like u Summer High , " which is the motif of the "Tycoon" Is only appreciated when It Is heard rendered by Mr. Spenser's company. Miss Tellula Kvans , the pros- out soprano of the organisation , is said to sing this delightful gem in a manner which causes her hearers to forgot that they over hoard It before. Those who hoard Her hero In Omaha with the Cnrlton opera company two years ago will easily call to uilud this uUtod unlato.

Y. The following is from the Philadelphia Press : "A Texas Steer" Is worth four of "Tho Senator , " seven of "Tho Mighty Dollar , " and eight of "For Congress. " And young Tim Murphy's embodiment of "Maverick Hrandcr" is , in many respects , a greater ar tistic achievement than Mr. Crane's "Sena tor , " Mr. Florence's "IJardwell Sloto , " or Mr. Kaymond's "Colonel Sellers.
