J. V. HendrlcUs of Suonaudoau had an ex
perience Tuesday night that has caused a
deuso cloud of disgust to settle down over
bis soul.
Ho wbllod away the evening at a Main
street saloon , shaking dlco , shooting craps ,
and indulging la all the wlld-oyed amuse
ments that a mau Just from tbo country
would bo likely to Indulge In , until bo baa
all the money bo started ID with and all of
bis companions' excepting 1M cents. Ono of
the men with whom ho bad bcuu claying , ra-
marked that bo hadn't a cent to pay tor a
room In a hotel , and Hoadrlcks , who bad
taken something of a liking to him slnco ho
had sampled his money , offered to let
him upend the night in half of bis bed at the
Kiel houie. The victim of adversity Intro
duced himself as Franlc Sherldon , ana Heu-
drlcks was soon peacefully snoozing tbo
hours awav while his room mate lay and
thought. Pretty soon be got up and went
downstairs , telling tha night clerk he could
not sleep and was tiding out for a walk. Ills
were somewhat suiplclous nod juo
police wcro notified. An officer who was
sent to tba scene to looK up the case mot him
and took him to the station , where ho garo
his name as C. J. Tobln , and was slated with
robbery. In the meantime Hcndrlcus had
been aroused , and when ho looked at bis
clothing ho wns surprised to find every
pocket Insldo out and all bis property gone ,
including papers and & 0 In money. At the
station Toblu , who was ' 'dead broke" wbon
ho wont to the hotel , had about 20 In his
pocket. Ho will have a hearing before Judge

A bill Is Doing drawn up and will bo pre
sented to the legislature this winter by Hop-
rosontatlvo Ware , providing for a radical
change in the administration of city govern
ments. A move of this kind has boon quietly
talked of for several months past , and a short
tlmo ago the Board of Trade , at ono of Its
sub rosa meetings , took tbo matter in hand
ana appointed a committee to draw up the
bill In proper shape. Just what provisions
the bill contains Its frnmors will not say , ex
cepting that It will have n tondoocv to knock
down the salaries of city officials all along
tbo lino.
'Hero in Council Bluffs , " said a prominent
Board of Trade man yesterday , "wo ncod
something of this kind vary much. The ad
ministration that was olactod on a retrench
ment and reform platform has proved to boone
ono of the most oxponslvo In certain respects
thnt the city has ever had , and the particu
lar itoma of expense that nro calling forth
this wall from us taxpayers are of th6 kind
that the cltv In general reaped little if any
benefit from. VYo propose to see If wo can't
change affairs around so as to cut off a few
of the superfluous heads certain departments
of the city government now have , and tbo
bill wo ore preparing Is a stop in tbo right
direction. Of course , the committee to which
the bill Is referred In the legislature may sit
down on our plan or mnv rovlso It beyond all
recognition before ills finally passed , but wo
Intend to see what can bo done toward ef
fecting a change. "

Several weeks ago Mrs ! Nathalie Pollard
came to this city on her way across tbo conti

this place she was taken ill , and ever since
that tlmo she has made tbls city her head
quarters , together with her advance mana

He was traced as far as Omaha , but there
the clew was lost and nothing further has

Mrs. Pollard was scon about the matter
yesterday , but was decidedly noncommittal.
She admitted that the young man baa dis

SENTIMENT IN CHILI.
.Malta U the Hero of the Hour Navnl Offi
cers Talk Vleht.
SANTIAGO , Chill ( via Galveston , Tex. ) ,
Jan. 27. [ Special Dispatch to tbo Associated
Press. ] The text of Chill's reply to Presi
dent Harrison's ultimatum bos not yet been
made public. It Is awaited on all sides with
Intense Interest. The substance of It has
already boon indicated in the Associated
Press dispatches from hero , and this , so far
as can bo learned , meets with general ap
proval on the part of the Intelligent classes.
The news that President Harrison bad
sent a special message to congress on Mon
day relating to the points at issue between
the United States nnd Chili , ana tbo dis
patches published hero yesterday and today
describing the attitude of the American pub
lic toward the matter bavo caused no little
popular excitement boro. The Baltimore
incident , the president's ultimatum and
message , and the dangerous tension of
the relations between the two governments
have boon topics of conversation in all clr-
cloi. They dominate the newspaper columns
to tbo virtual exclusion of all other questions.
The younger and hotter-beaded portion of
the publlo continues to Indulge In much war
talk. Rather than have their government
acknowledge Its fault or apologize for Its ut
terances , these young patriots declare that
they would prefer to see a resort to arms.
Such talk as thin , it U believed , reflects the
opinion of a largo element of tbo common
people.
Navul Ofllcerg Stirred Up.
The naval officers are reported to bo much
stirred up at the thought that they may bo
called upon to salute tbo stars and stripes.
They go so far as to say , according to the re
ports published In today's papers , that they
would sco the Chilian Hoot sink before they
would salute the American flag.
Whatever tbo government may sav offi
cially , In withdrawing the offensive note of
Scnor Matta of December 11 , there are
abundant Indications that Senor Malta's
popularity will not In any way bo decreased
because of bis authorship of that now famous
dispatch. Instead , it looks very muchasthouch
tbls was the most popular act of his admin
istration of the department of foreign
affairs , While the cabinet has been deliber
ating upon the orcciso form of language in
which to apologize to the United States for
Senor Malta's discourteous and undiplomatic
performance , preparations have boon actively
going on by a committee of loading citizens
to honor Senor Matta with a grand ana Im
posing banquet. This will take place next
Saturday and promises to be a brilliant af-

SAN ANTONIO , Tox. , Jan. 27. Uonorol
Stanley , commanding the Department of
Texas , does not bcllovo tbo rangers will
succeed in capturing Garza , not
withstanding their present plan of
operation is said to bo based on
accurate knowledge of Garza'n whereabouts.
Garza has boon ostensibly located so often
and escaped so many tlmos that the
general belief Is that bo will not be
captured unless ho is accidentally lound
In camp somewhere or voluntarily
surrenders. General Stanlo/ believes that
Garza Is accompanied by but two men bis
brother and an experienced scout ; that they
are continually on Ibe alert and wbtlu
occasionally visiting ranches of their friends ,
never sleep in a bouse nor In the same
spot twlco , while the federal troops are doing
little else than guarding the river crossing
and highways and the rangers are scouting
between points. Tbo troops will be main
tained In tbo field and should cause require
will bo augmented by rcinforomonts from
posts in Indian Territory.
General Stanley does not bellovo that
Garza will again attempt to organize bis
forces on tbo lower Hlo Grande , but
thinks It probable that an outbreak may
occur further up the river. With this in
view orders were today issued to the ofilcers
at Fort Clark to proceed to Camp Kaglo Pass
and patrol tbo border half way down to La

But the improssarlo of the future will
not contlno himself to Italy or to Ger
many , writes Edmund O. Stan ton in the
North American Uoviow. The Slavic
countries and Hungary have already
produced operas of sterling merit and
startling originality. And what a
splendid operatic mlno has yet to ho ex
ploited for our benefit in Russia , which
can boast of not only a national but of
nu international oporatio repertory , in
cluding works by composers of all coun
tries , not excepting Wagner , and which
has symphonic and operatic composers
like Rubinstein and Tschaikowsky.
Turning to Bohemia , there is Dvorak ,
whoso cantatas alone are known to us ,
but who has written several interesting
operas for the Bohemian stage : while
England has produced of late yorrs sev
eral grand operas by her native com
posers , some of which have been adopted
In the Gorman oporatio repertory.
Franco , too , has many modern writers of
opera , whoso works have not yet boon
heard here , but which have found bril
liant interpretation , for the most part in
Brussels. Why , then , should the oper
atic roportorp ol Now York bo confined
to the works of Italian and French composers -
posers of a quarter of n century or moro
go , worn out , and only revived to on-
husitism with the assfstunro of oxcop-
ional singers , demanding exceptional
prices and necessitating tbo curtailment
3f expenses in every other directionthus
prohibiting the production of opera as
an art wore ? The operatic repertory o
the future must of necessity bo cosmo
politan and international , in character.
During the last season ofprnnd , opera in
Gorman the directors .of the Metropoli
tan made a beginning In fthis direction ,
and only the constant 'Jarid ' pressing de
mand on the part of th"6 public for the
Wagnerinn repertory fcompollod a post
ponement in carrying out the
plans to completion. Such a
repertory will onibraco all na
tionalities and all > schools , moro
especially the modern. Wo are essen
tially a cosmopolitan people , nnd should
not , if wo wish to develop further in
musical nnd operatic taste , confine our
selves slavishly to the production of the
operas of any ono sbhbol'or ' country.In
what language'this international reper
tory is to bo sung is yet a matter of earn
est thought and discussion. It seoin-
probable that wo must eventually adopf
the English , but , for the present , wo can
hardly afford to prohibit by our lan
guage the engagement of the many
great singers of the world who cannot
do , and never will bo able to do , thorn-
solves or their art justice in our ver
nacular. This difficulty will presumably
seUlo itself in good time. " Fortunately
wo can feel assured of this : that what
ever opera is prese'nted in Now York in
its artistic completeness , the audience
will not fail to give it the necessary sup
port , not because the opera house is the

Seven Thnu iinil Miles of Wheels.
If all the locomotives in the United
States wore coupled together they would
make a train of'solid iron and stool ever
300 miles long , says the St. Louis Repub
lic. Add the passenger cars and wo
would have 300 miles moro of wood and
iron ; this would give us a gigantic pas
senger train 000 miles in length , couut-
ing both engines and cars. Should wo
want a huge "mixed" train wo might
add the "box , " " ( lit , " nnd every other
kind of freight car , and our train would
then have a total length of ever 7,000
miles ! The passenger cars in this gigan
tic train would bo capable of Boating
1,500,000 people , and upon the freight
cars could bo loaded , the weight of all
the pyramids of Egvpt , nnd all tlio state
capitol buildings in , the United States
besides. Verily , great is the railroad
system of America.
It Worked.
At a matlnoo performance in ono of
the theaters , says the Tribune , a little
man who sat in the parquet loaned forward -
ward and spoke in a loud whisper to the
lady sitting on the seat directly in front
of him :
"Fan , " ho Bald , "I wish you would
take off that blooming hat of yours. 1
can't see a tiling that's going on. "
"Slrl" haughtily pxclaimod the lady ,
turning round. >
' I bog your pardon1 rejoined the little -
tlo man in the sarno. loud whisper , "I
thought you were my'sistor. She lias n
hat exactly like thnrpgo you'vo got on. "
Ho loaned back in ] \\p \ \ soatand serene
ly resumed his atvpmnt to stretch his
neck so as to eoo avaathut hat.
And it wasn't twotalnutos till shotook
it off ivith a jerk ami-laid it in her lap.
Famine and nihilism notwithstanding ,
Russia seems to lie { 119 land in which
human life reaches jlagreatest , longth.
During the year 1898u8 persons died
in the land of the qy-iM' who were be
tween the ages of 10J ) and 105 ; 130 who
had reached ages hotwoon 115 and 120
also succumbed , wliilo' throe were re
ported to the authorities as having
died after living tp lio'JSO years or moro
'
of ago.
