ears ago the county of Atehison subscrlbou
150,000 stock in the Santa Fo railroad , then
n do construction and voted $150,000 In
ends to pay for tbo same. The bonds were
xccutcd and Issued and it was agreed that
: ie company should deposit with the trustee
cortiticnto for $150,000 of Its paid up capita
Lock. The agreement was that when the
Dad was completed the trustee should dover -
vor the stock to the commissioners of Atchi-
jn county , and they snould deliver the
ends to the railroad company.
Before the railroad was romplotod In ac-
ardanco with tha terms and conditions of
10 subset-Union and upon which the bands
roro voted and IssuoJ , a proposition was
resented to the board toioll tto stock of the
juntv to the railroad company In consldora-
on of ? 1 In cash and a goad many promises
i make Atehison the terminus of the line ,
'ho ' proposition was accepted nnd without
iibmlitlng the matter to n vote of the

locit. The uonds were also turned over to
10 company , Lawyers are of the opinion
mt the wtiolo proceeding of the commis-

Monday evening nt 0 o'clock tli
schooner left Muskcgon , and bcfoi
she had been out un hour Captain Barry wf
ready to turn back. The wind was so big
that the topsails were tooted at the ver
start. As the gale Increased in fur
the captain thought of putting hit
Grand Haven , but feared that hu could not pa :
the gates in safety bcc.iuso of the tlarltnoi

do , and that was to put across tbo lake i
the leeth of the storm. The boat sprang i
leak and soon there were four feet of wale
in the hold. From that thno on tbo me

said today ut tbo Wellington : "Many nl
tempts have been matin in our state to sav
the llax fibre , but most of thorn were complete
pleto failures and the partial successes wer
not encourngine. Tbucllmato is not f iwor.ibl
to the handling of the linen fibre. It is to
dry. The climates of Ireland and Scotlum
are particularly humid and the llax can b
handled without trouble becuuso the ntmos
phoro keeps il moist. With us the air is si
dry that the libra soon becomes hard am
brittle and cannot bo handled withou
breaking. Artllldnl moisture was tried , bu
tne thread produced by this moans was si
L-oarsa us to bo almost woithloss. It is modi

Fabrics , but no approach to the llni

and the fact that ho w.is liable to bo truatc

from him.

"Tho Charity Hall. "
"Tho Chnrlty Ball" Is again In Oinnlrn. nnd
It was welcomed by n Inrgo nnd fashionable
nutlloncoat the Boyd last night. It is pos
sible that some of the roles nro not quite as
well sustained ns In the company of last
season , but , in the fnco of so high n pencral
cxcollonco , 'twould bo hypercritical to draw
comparisons on such slight provocation.

mlrablo that the critic ns welt as thoordi-
mirv play-goer H tempted to Indulge in ox-
trnvng.int description , but it U do-
9 ? , MB of ft Kr0U ! many superlatives.
< ii
All the conditions combine to produce a per
formance of raio merit. 'Iho piuv h.isn't
much of a story nor an Intricate plot. It Is
pot melodramatic , nor romantic In the bro.id
sense of the word , it is n picture- picture
of a social circln in which money , eulturonml
Iho nmenltos of Hfo huvo produced thn high
est typos of the raco. And In that picture
wo bee not , merely the Images of men nnd
women. Tholr creators have so conlrivud
them that wo look Into thulf hearts , nnd
tticro behold the ebb and How of emotions
common to all humankind. The mtmle con-
met on tha stage plays upon tlio holiest
chords of the human heart and stirs Iho len-
dorost memories.
And the frnmo befits the picture. Tlio
ladles nro gowned In ravishing creations of
the modiste's art , nnd the handsome ,
elaborate , stngo settings arc a line compli
ment to the resources of our new rind
beautiful theater.
But there Is another thing which con
tributes lo the ndmlrabli-noss of "Tho
Charity Ball. " it might pu/7hi n great ,
many people to name with conlldenco the
stellar role. Tbo fact Is , it Is not a one-star
Play , and Belasco nnd DoMillo have
contrived a drama in which nt le.ist six roloj
divide tlio honors. And , then , whllo the
nobiost sentiments are constantly appealed to ,
the strain upon the sympathies is eased by
frequent bltn of the most ilolionto humor.
It is not of n kind to urovolai boisterous up-
mouse , but ministers to tbo liner .sensibilities
with tbo most exquisite doliciousnois.
Altogether , it is nn exceptionally powerful
play with not a dull line in it , nor a bit of
coarseness , nor n passage of bombast. It Is
quite probable that Frohman's other com
pany , that which plays at the Lyceum in
Now York , gives n liner production of the
drama , but the troupe now hero is of such
general merit anil so much hotter than the
avorngo traveling combination that tlio
Omaha thontcr-coor has no excuse for being
finical 0,1 that scoro.
"Theoilil AiMitmt Her. "
There was n change of bill at the Fnrnam
Street tho.itor last evening , Ilur-ey's great
melodrama "Tho World Her "
, Against , being
produced by Miss Kate ClnUou's company
for Iho first tirao In several yoirs. It may
not bo generally known that the leading
parts in this play were written especially for
Miss Claxton and Mr. Stevenson. Thn pleco
is of the old but over popular melodramatic
type. The storv , a thrilling one , is skillfully
woven about tlio abandonment of n ptao ,
uoblo woman , by her insanely Jealous and
suspicious husband and the incidents which
le.U up to their linal reconciliation. Harvey
considers It his best work , and Madgo Carlton
is Miss Cloxton's favorite part. In the clos
ing situation tha hero nnd the villain strir to
the waist and settle tuoir differences a la
John L. Sullivan.
In the role of Madgo Carlton Miss Claxton
bus a part adopted to allow her to display
her versatile powers us an emotional actress.
She g.ivo a powerful and finished interpreta
tion of ono of the stroneost , sweetest char
acters in itho whole range of modern melo
drama.
In James Cnrlton , the foreman of the iron
foundry , Charles Stevenson has n character
that Hts him like a glcve , and ho carried ttio
major paitpf the play most artistically.
Miss Lillian Lawrence , ai Lucy Danvcrs ,
made n most ch.irmmg inirjnun. 'Sho Is n
handsome , voluptuous woman of fascinating
manner. The remainder of the companycar-
ried their p.irts acceptably , and did much
toward giving a thoroughly well rounded
and enjoyable performance.

DID YOU SEE IT ?
The clouds were too heavy arid the
eclipse of the moon last Sunday eve -was
not visible to the many thousands ol
Omaha people who wished to view it for
scientific reasons or from curiosity.
THE ECLIPSE
may be seen all this week at our store.
It can be best seen from third floor , where
the extent , variety , make , style and finish
of our Overcoats eclipse anything of the
kind ever seen in this city. It needs no
powerful telescope or achromatic lens of
any kind to see the superiority of the gar
ments. It is
Visible to the Naked
of the observer of ordinary intelligence.
ifwe were to state the number of
Overcoats sold last Saturday it would sur
prise those who have not seen the goods ,
and as we do not wish to tax the credulity
of such persons too far until a visit to our
store prepares them to believe all we say
without hesitation , we will not state the
number.
The prices sell the Overcoats. If you
put on one of our
you will not want to take it off.
Next to an Overcoat , good wyrrn
Underwear is more conducive to comfort
than any other portion of the wardrobe.
We can give greater value for the money
in this line than you have been able to
obtain in any former season.
