It was an evening crowded with Impres
sions. They cnmo in successive waves , llko
these which kiss "old ocean's graying
shore. " They grew In volume as the even
ing shadows lengthened , until a storm of pro
found npprociatlon ro , which culminated
In a call for the mnn who had bullded BO
magnificent a temple In which to reflect the
boil thoughts of dramatic writers. It was a
memorable night , for It marked n now epoch
In Omaha amusements. Nor did the en
thusiasm stop with the house , but was ex
tended to the people on the stage , who for
two or throe hours lived In the ntmnsphoro
of the pa t , freighted with the scout of the
magnolia and the orange. To these who
were so Inclined , the scarlet ninncrs chased
thorn back to childhood.
Prom the old Academy of Muslctolho Now
Boyd Ihoatro , what a pathway have men
traveled I In Its sinuosities are seen the
changes that have taken place In the artistic
life of Omaha since the former temple of the
drama occupied nn exalted place In Iho hoarla
of the people.
I Of ItlO KlIHCIIllllC.
It was a night of pleasant sensations.
They came and went llko the Hashes from nn
magnesium light , leaving behind "thoughts
that were too dcop for words. " From the
beautiful foyer , with Us warm East Indian
off net , to the and Hot him In olUo and gold ,
the eye wandered , finding now beauties
nt each elevation as the sight was
directed upward. Then cnmo the boxes ,
and "luxuriant , " "beautiful , " "entranc
ing , " came from lip * that could not
hold back the delight experienced. Then
with an upward glance the story of the "Tri
umph of Fantasy , Ponlry and Music , " was
revealed in the broad panel nbove the pros
cenium opening , chaining the senses as Ingo-
mar was chained by the woman ho gave up
everything to lovo. But the eye , still bent
on finding new delights , took In with a com
prehensive iwcep the oxciulslto tone of the
celling and the graceful coloring of the
frlozo In Its arabesque designs , blending with
the dome In Its crowning effect of light and
shade until the perspective shut out the picture -
turo further. It wns nil llko the drawings
from n stcreoptican thrown upon the wall ,
nnd admiration giow as the artist displayed
the triumph of his bru h. At each turn
there wat something beautiful to numlro ,
some pictured thought to bo carried away to
remain a day droaui forever.
CoiniiiK ol'tlio People.
Iho beautiful entrance to Boyd's now the
ater , with Its rich pane-Hugs , its tessellated
floor , Its arches of soft incandescent lights ,
was thronged with a continuous stream of
gay find fashionable patrons in honor of the
opening night. The ciowa resembled In
point of brilliancy th.it of u Paris opera night ,
and manv were the expressions heard upon
all sides congratulatory of the auspicious be-
sinning of this now temple dedicated to
Eutorpo and Melpomene.
It scorned as If there was no end to the
largo throng who kept on coming , nnd the
wonder was where to find seats for them
all. Large as is the capacity of this
theater , it was taxed to the utmost last oven-
leg , and it is quito fair to say that Omaha
never witnessed a 111010 brilliant gathering
of the wealth , culture and. refinement of the
metropolis of this fair commonwealth than
upon this occasion.
Even a Paul or n Booth night could not
compare to it in point of social or intellectual
greatness , for it reminded ono very much of
a Vanity Fair In microcosm which stretched
away HUe the "field of the cloth of gold. "
And , as a view of the interior came before
the hundreds of spectators the exclamations
of delmht wore unstinted. And well they
might bo , for Bo\d's now theater Is In many
respects ono of the handsomest houses dedi
cated toThospis In America.
Opening of the Old Boyd.
When Boyd's old theater received 1U ded
ication at the hands of Fay Temploton nnd
her opera company In 1881 , the audience as
sembled upon the opening night thought that
the prettiest1 theater in America stretched
before It In Its color of gray and gold , but
times change ana men change with them ,
and the hundreds who were present at the
premiere of a bouse a decade ago , nnd who
were also present last nicht , marvelled much
upon the mutability of things , especially
upon the changes that can bo wrought In the
ideas of men as the years lengthen Into the
In nn I to.
It was an occasion for reminiscence , nnd
hero ana tboro little groups were noticed ,
the burden of whoso conversation was the
growth tnat has taken pluco in Omaha , slnco
the days.
When all the world was young , lad ,
And uvory geese a swan.
Men grown gray in the service of tholr
profession , in church nnd stale , exchanged
stories contrasting the Then with Now , nnd
from Iholr collection of memory pictures the
hlstorv of the rise of dramatic art in the new
west could well bo written by the historian
ocklut ; out "strange saws and modern in
stances" to Introduce into the tale which
must always have nn Interest to the follower
of plays.
" Jut that Is another story , " as our good
friend Hudynrd JClpllng sontcntlously remarks -
marks many times Ibroughout the course
of his writings.
Story of the Now Mouse.
Of the Intel lor a volume could easily bo
written 1 It was a revelation , n dream of
beauty to Iho hundreds gathered within the
auditorium , and as the nudionco filled tbo
pnrquotto nnd balcony , while a sea of faces
brightened beneath the central chandelier's
blaze of light , fur up In the gallery's ample
depths , the scone took on n brilliancy un
, rivalled In the fashionable 11 fo of the west ,
' i finding only n couutupart in n First Night nt
Daly's thcalor or an opera night at tbo Au
ditorium.
Omaha's fairest dumos mid swcetoit
demoiselles , the gay cavaliers or sterner
parents were all gathered there to participate
in tbo opening of a new temple of the muses ,
and Incidentally enjoy the story of the south
land as revealed In "Alabama , " which Inau
gurated auspiciously tha theater eroded
through the broad progressive , spirit of Gov
ernor Jamoi E. Boyd ,
It was nn. array of beauty , dross
fashion and Jewels seldom scon anywhere on
thlt side the water.
The toilettes were exquisitely rich and the
vrnolo effect was grandly charming. Look
whore ono would , it was a mass of bright
colors and myriad lights , which set off ilia
mural palntlucs on the walls , the nrtUtle
decorations about the boxes , the luxuriant
furniture throughout the auditorium , while
the soft swish of silks and satins added to
the hum of conversation , made the whole
cone one of kaleidoscopic charm that will
long bo a awoot memory.
And then the orchestra , In keeping with
the occasion , arrayed In the newest ot dross
suits , began , under the direction of Hurt
Butler , the now leader of the house , the
overture from Koslnt's magnificent romantic
opera , "Sonilramldo. "
Governor Iloyd Called Out.
Upon the conclusion of the overture , which
was beautifully played , the myriad lights
around the boxes were turned on , and tha
feelings of the audience so lonirhold in check ,
pnvu way to enthusiastic calls for the builder
of this now homo of art. Governor Jumos E ,
Boyd. It was a spontaneous greeting from
SJ,000 people , and the appeal so otroagly put
could not be Ignoiod ,
Governor Bovd stepped from hU box on tha
right hand bide , and taking hU position In
front said :
LudIns and Oentlomen ; Although I appru-
olntu the compliment > ou hnvo uliown me ,

.John AI. Tlntrston Spoke.
But the audience , having had a tusto of
Hpocchmaklng , desired moro , and Hon. John
M. Thtlrston was called upon to respond.
Just as he took his position near the par-
quette circle rail the orehnstra began the
prelude to the play , but before it had irene
for some one near the loader intimated that
another speech was on the progtainmo and
the band erased playing "Dlxlo" to glvo Mr.
Thurston nn opportunity to fittingly respond ,
which ho did in these words :

Who Were There.
As to the nudionco , It would have rivalled
In Its bravo attire and fete like deportment ,
any to bo gazed upon in an eastern me
tropolis.
An atmosphere of bon homlo and general
satisfaction pervaded the house in fact , be

For years the theater-going public has
yearned for a truly American plnv. Ameri
can In subject , in authorship , In treatment ,
In character , In sentiment , in spirit and In
scone , but until "Shenamlonh" was given its
piemloro , the longings of the people wont un
satisfied , and there were thosu who erow dis
heartened over the repeated fullutes of play-
wilghts to irrntlfy what seemed so simple a
reqiie.sU But when Branson Howard gave
to the dramatic world "Shonnndoah , " new
hope was Implanted in the breasts of theater
goers , and a universal Joy went up thai at
last an American ptav wns born.
"Shennnrtoah"
Following closely upon
comes Alabama , " which inaugurated the
season of umusoiponts at the now Boyd last
evening , nnd ono was lost In deciding which
was truly the better American play , ' Shcn-
nndoah" or ' 'Alabama " One deals with war
nnd Its concomitants ; tbo other nlludrs but
slightly lo Iho conflict which came so near
soiorlng two sections of n common country.
It Is but a motrory ; the years have healed
tbo wounds that were made In the rebellion
nnd "Alabama" la seen blooming in virgin
freshness as if naught had been done to ills-
unite the soulh from the north.
The iconoclast who sat in Boyd's last evening -
ing watching the development of Mr , Thomas'
story of post-bellum dn\s In the .south Inud ,
with stoicism upon his brow , no doubt could
point out a few lines that would not bespoken
spoken by living people under the
circumstances , nnd possibly could find
fault on several occasions for lacic
of the clement of suspense. But
the person whoso heart was in the right
place discovered in "Alabama11 an idyllic
play , pitched in a minor 'key. glowing with
the best of hun'nn sentiment , nnd nn Interest
that palpitated In unison with that good
hcait.
There nro no strong dramatic situations , If
you look a , it from a coMly critical
standpoint , nor are thev needed In
the proper development of the plot ;
there is no straining after effect j
but everything is made subservient to the
loves of several llo. > h and blood people , who
dominate the story. The men all save the
villlau , ana ho U n very mild typo are
courteous and chivalrous in the manner best
known to the south. The women remind
you in their freshness and tboir beauty of
tbo maznoliis that bloom luxuriontly along
Iho bayou near Colonel Preston's plantation ,
nnd the scenery , especially in the third net ,
the ruined gateway in Iho midst of luxuriant
foliage under a staVlit sky , is u delicious bit
of southein landscape transplanted to this
colder climate of the noi th.
Anil the I'laycrs.
With a less Inferior company to bring out
all the beauties of Mr , Thomas' poem in
prose much ot its sentiment would bo lost ,
but entrusted as it was last night to the care
of the greatest stool : company traveling , Ibo
play could not help but make a pronounced
success.
And In the midst of this galaxy of stars it
is bard to say who deservedly ranks first.
Mr. Stoddard has in Colonel Preston a part
which bn plays with all the beautiful finish
\vhich tins so long been a distinguishing
feature of his stage career. The pirt fits
him splendidly nnd one cannot help but
forgive the rancor in his heart for
everything that savors of the north , for
through It bo learned the lessons of self
denial , of self abnegation , which until thn
wnr were unknown quantities lo him. Colonel
Preston Is a lovable charucter and Mr. Stod
dard plays the part con nmora.
Mr. Uarrymoro Is n splcdld tigtiio of manly
beauty , courage nnd honor as Colonel Pies-
ton's sou Ills very much doubted if th t
best of our leading men on this side of tbo
water has over did anything in the w.iv of
acting more attractive and Interesting thun
in this pail.
Air. E "M. Holland omphusl/oa what Tun
BTK has said of him in the past , that ho is
the bnst chnrut'tor ii'.tor in America Noth
ing could no moro artistic than his portrayal
of Colonel Moborly , a chivalrous southron ,

NASHVILLE , Tenn. , Sept 11. The lower
house of the general assembly had two
genuine sensations. The first occurred when
a resolution was offered declaring the gen

ether glow out of the altering of n resolution

What Is Kvpootod of Counties in Con
nection \vllli the Train.
OMUIA , Sept. 1. To the Editor of-Tun
BIK : : There seems to bo a misunderstanding
In n few of the counties of the state , nnd only
u few , relative to the advertising train that
is to bo sent east under tbo supervision of
the advisory ooard of the Nebraska State
Business Men's association. That Is , they
want in carry the Idea that the object of this
enterprise Is to advertise Omaha and not
Nebraska. Now , there Is no call for this , in
the least. In the first place , six of the ad
visory board out of the eight live outside ol
Omaha. Not a dollar of the fund that is .
raisou by each county is to bs sent to Omaha. |
H.J.Leo of Fremont is the treasurer , nnd j
all money Is to be paid to him. Omaha , it Is .
true , will bo inlet cited in the enterprise.
Her assessment is nearly three times the
amount of any ether county , but she will
only have one delegate to represent her inter
ests.
ests.Tho local branch of Omaha will have the
supervision of Douglas county and has
already reported thai it Is ready to raise Its
fund , but'I have advised it to hold until
enough counties in tbo interior of the state
have reported , so that wo can estimate
whether we shall make the call for the funds
or not. I have aimed in all correspondence
relative to this matter to Impress each county
witn the fact whether they could raise the
necessary funds or not and report same tome
mo , so ' that when the board holds Its
meeting at agricultural hall on the state fair
grounds , September 9 , at U o'clock a. in. ,
wo would bo perfectly nblo to decide upon the
matter and as this Is a state association of
business mon working for the Interests of
the state , it looks as though each county
should do Its. part and bain to prove what
Nebraska really is , the greatest agricultural
state in the union.
1 have already received communications
from forty-live counties , thirty-three of them
making arrangements to take part and bavo
aho-idy teportod ; and it has been the aim of
this board to try and handle the matter so
that no feeling should exist nnd It is hoped
that everything can bo carried out pleasantly
nnd satisfactory to all counties ot the state.
It is true , wo would like to glvo moro room
for each county to exhibit their products ,
but the main object IB to advertise the state ,
no ono county In particular , nnd by taking
only two cats , it will bo impossible to allow
over four to six feet for each county , but
they will find when this is properly arranged
by an artist who will be employed for this
purpose alone that the exhibit will bo grand
nnd ono that they lll take pndo In showing.
What the board will want to know more
particularly than any other ono thing nt its
meeting next week In Lincoln is whether
enough counties have reported tint they
have raised their funds for the advertising
train. If wo find th-it such bo the cuso the
same will bo reported through the dally
press , together with information relative to
the products and amount of spaeo that will
bo allotted to nach county and when to ship
their pioducts to bo arranged In the car.
Trusting you will glvo this space In your
valuable paper and thanking jou on behalf
ol the state board for the interest you hive
manifested in this undertaking , I remain ,
yours vorv truh ,

COHISTO , Nicaragua , Aug. 'JI. Among the
passengers who loft hsru today on the Pacific
Mail Steamship company's steamer , Collmnr ,
wore six of the most prominent men in the
republic of Nicaraguu who were sent to Costa
Uica as exiles by the order of the projidont.
The party included three members of tbo
Nicaragua senate General Gavjla , who was
fo"inorly president of the republic ; J. D.
Uodnguoz and Schauiorra. The others were
A , II. Klvas , E Gu/.man nnd Pedro OrlU. It
will bo remembered that they wore made
prisoners during the recent riot in the city of
Grennim.
As the ptosulent wished to bo rid of his
most piomlnent opponents , he finally deter
mined to send them out of the country , and
thouuh ho has suuccoded in doing so. his ac
tion bus led to nu open revolt in the city of
Grenada , whore the parties all live , which re
sulted in bloodshed The prisoners were
placed in n wagou today to bo taken to the
railroad station and sent by special iraln to
Corlnto. The wagon was guarded by troops ,
and while It was passing through the streets
thu party wo. surrounded by a mob , which
shouted for tha release of thu prisoners.
The mob continued to make such demon
strations Unit at last the soldiers were or
dered to lira , which they did , Uioutrh no ono
iu the nrowd was injured The firing added
to thu excitement , nnd as the men composing
thu mob were armed , thev replied with n
volley and killed seven men , Including tha
governor of the district , the lieutenant com
mander of the troops , three soldiers and two
bystanders. Moro troops were brought to
the scene at once , and the mob soon dispersed
without any further loss of Ufa , but tha prts-
omiri were sent on to Corlnto and placed
aboard the steamer which afterwards took
them to Punta Arenas
There U a very uneasy feeling In Nlca-
raugua at thu present tlmo , owing not only
to dissensions within the country , but also tea
a possibility of trouble with Honduras. Both
Nlcarnugua nnd Honduras tmvo troops
stationed on the frontier , and It U the belief
hero that open hostilities may occur at any
tlmo.

CHICAGO. III. , Sept. It. (
Vice Preslddnt George B. Harris and some
ether officials of the Burlington uro engaged
in stoutly asserting that the road does not
propose to run its Wyoming lines into Helena
"at present. " Tliero was , however , over
present la their dentals of the story
the qualifying words , "at present. " There is
every reason to bellovo that tbo Burlincton's
yellow cars will run through between Omaha
and Montana about the tlmo that the World's
Columbian exposition begins to bloom in all
its glory , precisely as was intimated in Tim
Bus. The work of construction would bo
pushed now , but it is not a good tlmo
to sell bonds. The line is really completed
about fifty-two miles further toward Mon
tana at the present tlmo than was announced
on Tuesday , Vice-President Harris says
it will stop for "tho present" at Gillette , in
the famous Poivdor river viilloy ,
only a short distance from Buf
falo , Wyo. Between Buffalo and the
main objective points in Montana the ground
is full of Burlington stakes , placed there by
recent surveying parties.
It is now recalled that it Is not such n long
tlmo slnco some of the Burlington's most expert -
port trafllo officials quietly stele away to
Montana and spent several weeks in malting
a careful Investigation of the prospect for
truflie , especially in the mining regions.
The prospect of n now nnd shorter compe
tition for Montana traffic does not please
either the Union Pacific , Northern Pacific or
Great Northern. If the new road is put
through n largo-sized row may re
sult. In the Western Traftlo association
agreement is a clause prohibiting any
road from invading the territory of
nnothor line witaout permission. It was
claimed by a Union Pacific olllclal yesterday
that such constructon as the Burlington is
engaged in is a violation of the association
agreement for which the responsible official
must suffer.

Attorney General Hunt has furnished the

tnat corporations bo taxed at tbolr fair cash

OMAHA'S COM. u.vri.s.
An mlded rate of ii'i cents on every ton of
haul coal went Into effect yesterday. This
unsi Iho effect of the mooting of the eastern
coal barons held In liulTalo and all the local
wholesale dealers yostordav quoted hard coal
at i.3r > u ton on dock in ten ton lots or more
ucnlnst the even $ " > quotation of the day
previous.
The lake rate fluctuates , but at present is
N ) emits nor ton from Buffalo to Chicago and
between ! > and 10 cents less per ton to Duluth.
Local dealers am tr > lng to got thosumo rates
as Duluth , but an ) doubtful as to whether
they ran succeed1 The difference in thu rule
'
is d'uo to the larger number of vessels plying
between Uuluth and Buffalo onuccouutof
the lion trade.
The bulk of the coal Is carried by vessels.
Thu general traflio manager of one of'tho
Chicago roads declared that the amount of
coal carried by the railroads between Buffalo
and Chicago U probably no greater than the
amount carried between Chicago and Omaha ,
Ho was nsKod If the railroads could make
money at $1.75 per ton between Buffalo nnd
Chicago , why they should charge $ .i'JO par
ton to haul it from Chicago to Omaha , u uls-
tnnco of only nbout&OO miles , especially lu ho
admitted the coal trnfllo by rail between Chicago
cage and U in ah a Is as great as that between
Buffalo and Chicago. He replied that thu
coal from Buffalo came thiougli In train loads ,
trains of forty cats being made up In Buffalo
so that all that was necessary was to hitch
an onglno to them and bring them hern. The
added rate between hero nnd Omaha , ho said ,
was to covorthooxpensoiof switching , neces
sitated by the fact that Omahu dealer *
bought , in car load lots. Ho suld there was
no prospect of a reduction in the W.'M rato.

Omjo More DlHCii'-Hi'd.
CIIICHOO , 111. , Sept. ! ! . The old question of
See line differentials In passenger business
between St. Paul and eastern points was once
moro discussed at n conference of all Iho In
terested roads today. The See , the Canadian
Pacific am ) the competing lines in tbo Cen
tral Traffic association and the Western
Passenger association were represented. So
many points wore Involved in the general
subject , ho'vevor , that no agreement could bo
reached and tonight the situation re
mains unchanged. The Chicago and St. Paul
roads were generally willing to allow
the See a differential of $30 30 between St.
Paul and the seaboard cities piovldod It
would ngrco to pay no hlchor commissions In
the totrltory west of St. Paul than are paid
by the Western Passenger association linos.
The See would probably have accepted this
proviso had it been permitted to apply the
differential via Maeklnuo only , and to make
any rates it pleased via Siulttit. Marie , but
Its western competitors would not en tot lain
any such proposition.
It was proposed to submit the whole ques
tion of dlfTinenttuls , commissions and route *
to arbitration , but the negative votes upset
this plan. Traffic Manager Btisonbark of tha
Chicago , St. Paul i\c Kansas City olftirod .1
resolution providing that the question of
whether the See line is entitled to any differ
ential by any roads whatever should bo sub
mitted to three arbitrators , ono to bo selected
by the Central Traffic association , another by
the Western Passoneor association and the
third by the See line representatives. This
resolution was killed by ono dlsso'itlui ; volco
