thes people , while ns n political manager ho
lini proven himself capable of every under
taking , As senator from'Nebraska no would
noon take hlph rank among ttio thinkers of
that body , ills election would bo a stop far
in nclvnnco for the state.
Fremont Flail : An Intimate friend of L.
D. Klrlmrds , otio who has figured with him
nnd worked with him over since ha has been
n factor In ntnto politics , lets us into the se
cret of Mr , Htchnrds' opposition to Senator
Paddock ns follows : A compact hns been
entered into between him nnil Tom Majors
that Majors Is to bo elected United States
senator to succeed Paddock , and tJiat lllch-
nrds In turn shall bo elected to succeed Man-
flcrson. It was understood when Richards
turned himself loose four years ago to reelect -
elect Matidersou , that Manderson should re-
clprocato in'(3 ( ( by assisting Ulcbards Into
Paddock's shoes. But the best laid plans of
mice and men "Rang aft nglcc , " and that
scheme is found to Iw utterly impractical on
account of the stronger aspirants for the
position and the present unpopularity of
Air. Klebnrds. Hut It Is believed that
Manderson Is now willing to Illng away
nmbitlmi and permit Klclmrds to bccomo his
successor If so It malms a tie-up between
Mamleraon , Majors nnd Richards which Is
fondly hoped to bo invincible.
Hut onto and adroitly planned as this
scheme seems to bo It will dissolve llko a
rope of sand. Majors cannot bo United
States senator to succeed Paddock , neither
can Hlchards bo United States senator to
succeed Manderson. 'J'lio first name In the
compart is as high ns he over will bo and
the last has been n dead duck ever slnco he
was defeated for governor.
It may bo casually stated also that Man-
dcmm lias already received all the honors
of the kind ho over need expect from a state
that ho lias so ably misrepresented.
The Flail bolloves that n majority of the
people of the state would likoto sco Paddock
returned and that they will sco to It , If ho Is
defeated , that tbosu who hiivo been treach
erous to him at least will not occupy his
shoes.

Considerable time was consumed In opoi
Ing bids for supplies for the county. Tli

It was expected that the bids for doing tli

an error. Those bids will not bo opeiie

THROUGH DUN'S EYES.
low tlio linil of tbo Yenr li Viewed by the
Mcrcnntllo
Mr. W. H. Roborson , Omaha manager of
1. G. Dun ft Co. , In his final weekly re
view of the trade for ISM , says :
"Tho year 1S93 closes with the Jobbing
trades of Omaha in the best condition of its
listory. Scarcely a house can bo mentioned
ivhlch has not enjoyed exceptional prosper-
ty slnco the first of June. The discourage-
iicnts of early spring have almost been for-
ottcn in its marvelous growth of the later
months of the year.
"If there has over been any doubt In the
nlnds of wholesale dealers ns to the future
obblng trade of the rfity it has long since
been dispelled. Wo enter upon 1S94 with the
brightest promise for a very largo Increase
over this red letter year. I shall bo very
: nuch disappointed if the next twelve months
do not show n most remarkable improvement
over the last twelve. The conditions
throughout the territory tributary to Omaha
was never so favorable. The farmers of Ne
braska are in better financial condition than
ever before in the history of the state.
"The trade conditions throughout the
country have been greatly Improved , and
confidence Is felt from the Atlantic to the
Pacific in the year upon which wo are about
to enter.
"Already the reputation which Omaha
has achieved as a jobbing center is drawing
now houses to the field. Some of the old
establishments will greatly enlarge their
facilities and branch out into now territory.
Several new houses are negotiating for a
| ) lace in this field. The number of failures
: ind the proportion of assets show that re
tail dealers everywhere tire in better shape
to meet their obligations than usual. Tlio
exact figures which are quoted below will beef
of interest to all comtnwcjial readers.

traveling men have bo'c'n nt home , but mail
orders in all the houses have been excep

the orders are larger and moro numerous
than at this time a year ago.
"Tho retail dealers of tno city are In bet
ter spirits than for six months past. The
holiday trade was so largo that many who
were discouraged have taken new heart , and
n number of the small bouses which
feared the approach of the now yeai
will bo tided over safely by their
holiday sales. Ono of the smallei
loading dry goods houses of the city sold
$ ' 22,000 worth of goods for cash during the
week preceding Christmas and for six weeks
past the sales of this house have not fallen
below $2,000 a day. Another house with n
heavier stock reports' a single day's casli
sales at $5,000. i i1
"Tho disastrous fire on Douglas strccl
which completely destroyed one largo furni

a largo clothing house , is the only mis

TERMS OF COURT.
District Judge * Settle Dntrs mid Decide on
Their Work.
After a full discussion of the matter , the
Judges of the district court , nt their annual
meeting yesterday afternooni idecldcil to
abandon the Idea of holding two instead of
three terms of court this year. Next year ,
they say , the change will probably bo made ,
but owing to lack of time nothing could bo
done toward changing the system during the
coming year. The statutes and rules of the
court make it dinicult to Inaugurate such n
change without considerable preparation.
All the Judges expressed themselves In favor
of the chance.
The three terms of the court this year
nrens follows : First , bcitlns February Oj
second , begins May 1 ; third , begins Septem
ber 1.
Judge Hopewoll acted as presiding Judge
at the meeting.
The assignments for the February term
were as follows :
Criminal Court Division 1 , Judge William
W. Koysor.
Equity Division 0 , Juilpo Melville R.
Hopowell ; division 7 , Judge Frank Irvine.
Jury Division 2. Judge Cunningham II.
Scott ; division it , Judge Herbert ,1. D.ivls ;
division 4 , Judge Charles Ogden ; division fi ,
Judge Arthur N. Ferguson.
A committee was appointed to consider a
change In the rules by which the judges try
ing cases nro to bear all motions In the cases
in question. This will do away with the
motion docket and simplify matters greatly.
Many other matters were discussed but
not acted upon.
AMUSK31KXTS.
Mile. Rhea last evening brought to a close
ono of the most successful engagements over
played in Omaha , and left this morning for
Kansas City where she will open today in
"Cainillc , " a play she has not presented for
a number of years. Yesterday afternoon the
largest matinee house scon at the Boyd this
season applauded "Josephine. " Last even
ing "Much Ado About Nothing" was the bill
and the large , representative audience at
tending enjoyed the brilliant comedy to the
full. Rhea's Beatrice is n living , breathing
woman , as witty as beautiful. Of course ,
nearly every theatergoer knows Rboa's ngo
as tlio calendars count age , but looking on
her Josephine or Beatrice the spectator feels
that only the fircek calends can bo consid
ered in considering her birthdays. Her
beauty shows no trace of tlio print of time ;
ber voice is clear and musical as over , and
no jot. of her old-time , oryoung-timo. vivacity
of manner is abated. Nothing could exceed
the youthful lire of passion that burned in
her "Kill Clamllo ! " in the famous
scone with Benedick last night , and
indeed throughout the performance
this quality was never absent. Rhea
has moro diflleulty in speaking the
quick lines of Shakespeare's wittiest woman
than she finds in any other part , but she
overcomes it admirably.
Mr. Hart's Benedick earned a special meed
of praise. He is a trained speaker of
Shakespearean blank verso and the line in
telligence bo evidences in delivery of his
lines , combined with his handsome presence ,
goes to make one of the most admirable
Benedicks on the stage today. All the
other members of the company wore well
disposed in the trying cast , and all in all an
almost ideal performance of "Much Ado"
was the result.
