A meeting of citizens was bold In tha Ma-

ronage ( or the homo Industries ot tbo city ,
rtio call , which WAS issued by tUo prosldunt
) [ tbo Board of Trade , was responded to
by uooiit UOO ! oal citizens , and a most
enthusiastic meeting was bold. Lucius
Wqlls was appointed temporary chairman
and S. D. Wads worth secretary. After the
object of tbo meeting had boon stated a com-
mlttco on resolutions was appointed , consist
ing ot O. H. Knox , T. J. Evans , E. P. Fcst ,
H. J. Clancoy , I. M , Troynor , P. O , Oloason ,
P. WIcs , C. Straub , V. Jennings and L. G.
Knotts. Ihcao gcntlomon retired to another
room , and while they were preparing tbelr
resolutions tbo audience listened to a num
ber of speeches by II. H. Fluid , Frank
Trimble. Major Oooreo H. Richmond ,
Thomai Tostovln and \V. J. Davenport , In
which the law was laid down in vigorous
language , and different schemes were pre
sented for publlo improvements. Mr. Dav
enport called attention to tbo fact that
1'ottawattamtc county had a rand future
before it as a fruit raising country , and ono
of the first things to be secured should bo a
cold storage warehouse.
"Tho Burlington , " ho said , "has shinped
1,005 cars of apples from this rctrlonvhlch
wcro sent to Chicago at $1.35 per barrel , and
are now being sold nt from & 1.M ) to 14 per
barrel. If wo had had a cold storaeovaro -
hauso hero wo might have kept that profit
'
bore and divided Hup among' the farmers
who raised the fruit lust as well as have It
turned into the pockets of Chicago specula
tors. Nothing would bo so profitable in pro
portion to tbo amount of camtal invested as
a warehouse of this kind. "
By the time these speeches bad been made
tbo committee was ready to roport. The
substance of their resolutions was that the
name of tbo organization should bo the
Merchants and Manufacturers Association of
Council Bluffs ; membership should boooen
to all citizens ; tbo annual membership fee
should bo $5 , and the secretary should be tbo
only salaried officer. These resolutions were
adopted and a committee was at oboe ap
pointed to secure tbo names of as many of
those present an possible who would Join the
association. Sixty-seven signatures were
secured in a few minutes.
The election of officers then teen place

Calling on Uiitcrmir Itojd.
C Governor James E. Boyd of Nebraska has
been ftubpujnacd as a witness before the
grand Jury to testify In the case of Klmball
and Champ , with whom ho had some dealIngs -
Ings before the failure of the Investment
company.
The story of the affair Is thus told by
Kimbali & Champ :
In the spring of 1801 Governor Boyd ap
plied to the Kimball-Cuamp Investment
company for a loan of tOO.Ol/0. The applica
tion wns sent east and accepted by ono of the
comnany's Investors. Before the note and
mortgage were delivered to the company cor
respondence was had and agreement with
reference to time and conditions of payment
as the work progressed , and was paid for seas
as to keep the security good. As the money
was to remain in the company's
hands pending payment on the con
ditions of tbo contract , the company
gave Governor Boyd Its bond with
sureties for payment of the tnonoy as agreed.
The preliminaries thus sottlcd , the loan was
made and $20,000 of the money paid down to
Governor Boyd In cash before the remittance
from the sale of the papers had reached Coun
cil Bluffs , and It Is not true that thn money
was held by excuses or delayed in any way.
Until the failure every payment rluo on the
contract as the worn progressed was promptly
mndc. Governor Boyd never was obliged to
and never did write or make any demand for
any payments , but they wcro made as duo ,
without watting for any request from Boyd.
Payments wcro made from time to time and
shortly before the failure Klmball & Champ
borrowed on the Grand hotel f 15,000 , (3.000
of which was hold back to cover possible
lions , and iho residue , $12,100 , was paid over
to Governor Boyd without request from him.
At or about tbo time of the failure Messrs.
Klmball & Champ , acting as officers of tbo
Investment company , put up $53.000 in secu
rities as collateral to protect Boyd and the
sureties on the bond to him , upon which se
curities the balance duo Boyd was raised.
Thus not only wns there no deity prior to the
failure in keeping the contract and no ex
cuses or any occasion therefor , but as a mat
ter of fact these gentlemen fully and amply
protected Boyd oven in spite of the failure.

"She Stoops to Conquer. "
A flnolv balanced compat.y , a magnificent
house with society people largely in tbo
ascendant , and an immortal comedy were the
graces that presided over Boyd'a theater last
evening.
When Mr. Robson announced that this Rea
son ho would appear in old English comedy
those who deslro tbo best interests of
modern comedy were highly gratified. They
saw in the announcement something of an
enduring nature , and perforce they have
looked forward with the liveliest an
ticipation to Mr. Robson's appearance
in the role of Tony Lumpkln , in Goldsmith's
beautiful drama of Kngllsh country life ,
"Sho Stoops to Conquer. "
There is hardly anything complex in tbo
character of Lutnpkin , nor is it difficult of
comprehension. Its chief charm is its de
licious humor , so thoroughly peculiar to the
author of "Tho Vicar of Walcofluld. "
At tbo first blush the role of tbo royster-
ing , awkward alo-loving squire , associate of
stable boys and turfites , Tony Lumpkln ,
seems beneath the talect of a finished com
edian , and possibly that may have been the
reason that Avoodward refused to accept the
part from tbo older Col man at the Covent
Garden theater more than a century ago and
made way for Quick , who achieved so signal
a success in tbo role of tbo loutish braggart.
As the tradition of 120 years has inter
preted the character , Tony Lumpkln is half
boy , half man , of no quick wit nor education ,
who can road "printed words much batter
than the crisses and crosses that is called
writln' , " yet not altogether a dullard nor an
arrant coward ; a peed humored country lout ,
spoiled by an indulgent mother , mischievous
as a monkey , schooled in stable lore and
drinking. And this character Mr. Kobson
made to live again tonight by the art which is
vouchsafed only to a few people m a gen
eration.
That peculiar strident volco , that blgh-
koycd laugh , that well defined fuc.o , were all
admirably suited for this most charming of
comedy parts.
The interpolations which ono naturally
expected were not overly many , not by any
moans as many as Jefferson introduces in
"Tho Heir at Law , " and those that Mr.
Kobson did make last evening were received
with oven mora enthusiasm than ttoina parts
of the original dialogue , but that is not to bo
wondered at , for moderns were listening to
tbo performance and not mon and women
who lived a century ago.
It was a delightful trout to BOO Mr. Robson
in a oart so far out of tboline ho has followed
so long tbat the present generation has now
to learn that his talents are not limited to
the Interpretation of farca comedy , and to
the older theatergoers in the audience it was
a pleasant departure from the times when
the comedian played "Our Bachelors , "
"Champagne and Ousters" and other farces
of a decndo ago.
While Mr. itooson's humor was keen , deli
cate and thoroughly winning , not so much
can bo said of Mr. Elwood's ' Morlnwo , which
was inexcusably exaggerated , especially in
the first scene with Miss Hardcastio , the
young gentleman working himself into a
torrid condition m bis frantic endeavor to
appear thoroughly embarrassed and bashful.
Ills best scone was in the third act , where be
makes love to Miss Hardcastle , whom he
tokes for the barmaid.
Mibs Amy Busby made an admirable Miss
Hardcastle. Sbo looked well in the costume
of a century ago , and the crown of gimlet
curls gave to her face a plquauuy and charm
tbat was Irresistible.
Miss Ohvo May played Miss Novlllo with
delightful grace and finish , taking Miss
luKcrtoll's place at tbo last moment.
M'r. George S. Woodward loft little to bo
desired in the role of Hardcastio , finding in
Mrs. McKcau an excellent foil in tbo cburao
tor of Dorothy Hardcastio. who gave a wol-
considered portraiture of tbo granue dame of
thu eighteenth century.
The epilogue , iXilcb Mr. Robson plumes
himself upon , was fluely spoken , al
though the. assertion that this was
its first rendition slnco J.uo production of the
comedy in 1773 must bo taken with a grain of
allowance. Still , as Authorities differ as to
this particular epilogue , Mr. Robson.will no
doubt go on making the assertion. lu ylo\v
of the fact that Goldsmith wrote four epi
logue * to the comedy , the quarreling cue
which brought the curtnlnjiflwn last even
ing being the secona-jrwhlch failed
because Mrs. Bulkelojy twho played
in the original cast refused t # go on. unless
she would bo permitted fo i pe.ik the orrl-
loguo entire , and so nnojhflrlry nl pleasing
the ladles had to bo made bjt to'author. [ ) .

Those who have attended tbo so-culled war
plays must have lonrnod tlmt lesson from the
demonstrations of Iho audiences , and the
fact that these theatrical attractions have
been among the most popular and successful
of tbo day is also In evidence.
"A Pair Rebel , " which began on engage
ment at thoFarnam street theater last night ,
is of that class and moved n crowded house ,
not only to ohoor the northern hero , but to
roundly and repeatedly hiss the villain In
gray. The play is weak in construction ,
often tedious In Us lines , and cannot bo
classed in merit with some others of its klud
"Shonandoah. " notably but the auditors
were not critics , and there wns enough'of
sentiment of the horoio and ot exciting ac
tion to thrill their hearts and plcaso the
superficial senses.
The third act opens with nu Interior view
ot Liuby prison , and the hero Is shown in the
act of making his escape through the chan
nel used by Colonel Rose and his com
panions In IbiH. Through a transparent
ploco otscenorr ho li soon maklnir his way
down the chimney flue into "Rat Hell. " The

seen coming out of the underground tunnel ,
His sweetheart , having changed places with
a confcdcrato soldier , Is the sentinel on
guard , and a very dramatic situation results ,
in which the fair rebel Is shot by a rival lover.
The company has considerable merit , the
principal roles being Interpreted by Edward
R. Mawson and Mlsi Familo Gilleto. The
performance- was spirited , the staging at
tractive and the entertainment pleased tbo
audience greatly.

The success which attended the recital
given by Mrs. J.V. . Cotton's pupils last
evening must have boon very gratifying alike
to teacher and pupils. Hitherto , pupils' ro-
cltals have been free , and , as a rule , have
been only indifferently patronized ; but on
this occasion , notwithstanding the counterattraction -
attraction at Boyd's theater , the concert hall
of the Young Men's Christian association
contained a largo , enthusiastic and cultured
audience. H may bo that the pupils gained
inspiration from thn size and appreciative.

throw their souls Into the work "for a wool
charity's sake , " but undoubtedly they all
acquitted themselves creditably. The drear ; '
mechanical style was noticeably absent &nd
the entire- program was characterized by vim ,
feeling nun spul.
Tbo opening number , which augured well
for the success of the recital , was judiciously
allotted to the Philomela quartette , which
consisted ot ladies who have already
made a reputation as soloists of high order ,
Mrs. J3undorland , Miss Clara Clarkson , Miss
Bishop and Mrs. MoellorT31
The opening solo wan entrusted to Miss
Palmer , who rendered Emery's "Burst , Yo
Apple Buds , " in a very" charming manner.
Her voice promises brilliant things.
Mrs. Mathcson follovved with Robyn' *
"Answer , " which was sling with good taste
and feeling. 1J'
Miss Kennedy , who sang 'Tho Secret , " bv
Ganss , was timid , but is .nevertheless the
possessor of a telling voice which will "lane"
when she has overcome hen nervousness , and
that will only require a.llttlo time and self-
confidence. i < )
Miss Clara Clarkson and Miss Bishop sang
Yarnall's arrangomontof Rubinstein's
melody so well known to' the music lovcr.and
sang it with artistic taste. The blending of
tone was exquisite , and [ /tho piece was
warmly received. Perhaps , at the next re
cital we may hear tbes"q Jadles in solo worjr ,
when they can expect 'ns"warm ' a reception.
Seldom has Mr. AViilter'Wilkins' ' so Happily
wakened up to a song as' he did in bis rendi
tion of Cbadwlck'.t beautiful selection "Bo
fore the Dawn. " His articulation was a
trifle weak , but bis quality of tone and the
verve which ho displayed in his singing was
decidedly good ,
Miss Coon sang Donizetti's aria "O luco
dl quest' anlma"in a creditable manner. She
is still young and her improvement has been
so marked in the past' few months that it is
safe to predict that she will make a good vo
calist.
A ploasincr intermezzo was Schilline's har
monization of the old melody , "Tho Blue
Bells of Scotland" rendered by the Philome
la quartette. This selection was very har
monious and catching and the audience would
willingly have listened to its rondition.
Miss Oliver was just -a trifle sharp in
"Heart's Delight , " ( Gilchrlst ) but after the
first verse she seemed to catch the inspira
tion of the music and sang with good effect.
Miss Woolworth followed in Ardlti's "Par-
la , " and seemed In bettor volco than usual
and her work was conscientiously done.
Mrs. AVhitncy sang Temple's "Fond Heart ,
Farewell. " in good style , notwithstanding
the fact that she competed with an impromp
tu vex bumana obligate In tbo form of a
crying infant. This oollgato was sustained
also during Miss Amy Barker's solo , when
Mrs. Cotton made a slight pause during
which t&e aear child was removed. Miss
Barker deserves commendation for the won
derful equanimity sh * displayed in this
emergency and at the conclusion of the solo ,
she fairly brought down the houso.
Mrs. Sundorland sang Rossini's difficult
aria "Una Voce" in an admirable manner ,
execution was faultless and her interpreta
tion good.
This artistic and well selected program
was concluded by the daintiest of dainty
choruses "Dragon Files" ( Uarglel ) , which ,
by the way , has captured rouny eastern audl
on cos.
Mrs. Cotton must feel proud of her pupils ,
as they do of her , for soldum has a more
gratifying program baoa given by local tal
ent.
