BRIEF SKETCH OF HIS MAIDEN PLAY
llmv Mrlrx , the Itiinfintn , AliU In 1'nlllnR
n DrM nlnc VIliiln-\Vrl ! ! Told Story .if
Deep Intrrr l AVIII Soon lie
Aclcil ,
Council Bluffs has had sons nnd daughters
who have eoinosed ] operas , painted pictures ,
written love stories and wooed the poetic
muse , but never until now has she had n son
whonnplrod to fame as a writer of plays.
Or , if any of her children did have nsplra-
lions in that direction , they kept them so
f.ir under lock and key that no newspaper
ever dared to mention them. For the past
six morths , unknown to any but his Intimate
friends , Mr. I'M F , Cogley of this city has
been working at odd times on a play which
will be put on the stage within the next two
months.
Those who nre acquainted with Mr. Cog-
ley and his preferences need lumlly be told
that the play is a specimen of Irish comedy-
drama , or that It affords opportunities fora
man with a clever brogue among his per
sonal effects to dlHtiiiguish himself. Mr.
Cogley has made a study of the Irish dialect
for years , and away back hi the middle ages
somewhere ho had a relative who was u sou
of the "ould sod. " The. proclivity of this
old gentleman ( who has long since gone to
rest ) , for making bulls crops out frequently
In the work of his descendant. Moreover ,
the piece was written by Mr. Cogley'witli a
view lo Us production with himself in the
title role , and as be uridcs himself
on his ability to talk Irish so
fluently that a man right from the
Kim-raid Isle would not know what he was
drhing at , the piece naturally has something
of a flavor of his own peisonality.i
The Inscription on the tille page Is as fol
lows : ' -M.\lcs Nn Bed tire ; or The Boatman
of ICinsale. An Irish Comedy-Drama in four
Acts , by Kdwnrd Felix Cogley. " The name
of the hero was saggested to the author by a
poem from the pen of Thomas Osbonic
Davis , a well known Irish poet of the past ,
but the plot is original. That is. It Is as or
iginal as most plays of the kind , for It fol
lows conventional lines. The heavy villain
and his unscrupulous pal , the ruined abbey
and the packet of valuable papers arc all
there , but the manner of puttUg ( them to
gether is somewhat new , niiiKnew bits of
banter and patriotic eloquence arc put in the
mouths of the different characters , weaving
the whole into a story of great interest and
exhibiting powers of dramatization that may
lead the author on to something bettor in the
future.
Story of-MiU'li Interest.
Mylcs , whoso part Is to be taken by the
author hi the coming production , is an Irish
peasant , very much in love with Mona
Dwyer , and , like most people in Ills situa
tion , thinks that ever.vonc else is afflicted
with the same form of disease as himself.
Kate Condon is.an heiress whose father ,
haying left his homo and gone to Montana
to indulge his propensity for the \\lld life of
a miner , has run across one Gerald Conway.
An accident in a mine lays Condon on bis
death bed , but before bis death ho entrusts
to Conway a package of papers in which bis ,
Condon's , right , and therefore the right of
his daughter Kate , to the Kelly
estate back in Ireland is set
forth. YoungCouway immediately takes the
name of Gerald Kelly , and goes bade to Ire
land to introduce himself as the jirodliral
son. Kate knows nothimrof her Identity ,
the late squire had moved in only shortly be
fore his death , and there seems to be noth
ing to hinder him from marrying Kate , so
that In case anything should turn up to
show the false part he had been playing he
would still have control of the estate by
right of mairiage and could snap
bis lingers at those who would
take it away from him. In talk
ing to himself , after his arrival in the vale of
Kiusalc , which , by the way , is located on the
sen coast , twenty-live miles south ot Cork ,
ho is overheard by Owen Flint , who recoij-
uUes In the alleged new landlord the Gerald
Conway for whom he bad assumed priestly
robes n few years before and united in a
mock marriage to Grace Harlun , who , upon
learning the state of affairs , had put her
brother on bis trail and compelled him to
flee to America in order to avoid the consequences
quences of his misdeeds. Upon being
reminded of the little Escapade , Kelly
takes Flint into his confidence ,
having received the latter's promise of as
sistance in bis nefarious schemes. Ho learns
that years before Kate's father had loft bet
a paper in which was told the secret of hci
birth , and which was to be opened on hei
eighteenth birthday , now two weeks distant
If Kelly can steal these papers he won't have
lo marry the cirl , and bo soon leaius thai
they have been concealed by the girl in ;
ruined abbey in order that they may not b <
destroyed by fire or other casualty.

Walter Leslie , an artist and writer 01
n magazine. Is an interesting character it
the play. Ho has fallen in love with Kate
the heiress , ami during his stay at Kinsal
ho recollects having seen Conway , alia ;
Kelly , when ho was sent to Montana ti
sketch tbo mine horror in which her fnthe
lost bis life. In an interview with Kate
also discovers a resemblance in Conway ti
the plcturp of the handsome jouug ofllce
who bad been implicated In tbo mock marriage
riago to her old school friend , Grace Harlan
Leslie , seeing that the new landlord is deter
mined to win from him Kate's affections i
possible , patches up a scheme , with the all
of Kate , to induce Grace to come and iden
tif.v him as her betrayer.
Myles the boatman , upon being asked fo
advice , decides that in order to keep th
new landlord from suspecting the mine tha

Hobert Limerick , wlio was nrrcsted S
ISt urdtiy night for stealing a .sack of flour fix
pt Uradley's stoi-o on upper Broadway , seems
have been carrying ou a ya\euatio buslm
of thieving for along time pnst. If yester-
dn\ ' developments count for anything
When the account of the nrre < t was scon
In the mornlnp papers b.v F. W. Spctman
nnd Messrs. Peterson and Scboeiiluir. who
keep stores on lower Main street , they nt
once set nbout the task of connecting Mm-
crick with a coup * of burglaries that took
plnee nt their stores on the same night n few
weeks ngo. Limerick had been seen loafing
nbout the stores nt about the time the burg
laries occurred , nnd as his reputation wns
not of the best , suspicion wns directed
toward him. A search warrant wns swoni
out yesterday and several officers went to
his house in Sunuyslde , nt the head of Harrison
risen street , to make a search for any of the
stolen goods that nilirht be. found there.
The se.nix-h resulted In the finding of any
amount of property which , If It was not
stolen , could hardly have been purchased.
A lot of children's clothing was found con
cealed between the bed springs nnd mattress
in one of the rooms. Some brass plumbing
fixtures , tools and other articles of hardware
were found secreted In another part of the
house. Mr. Peterson , however , was not
able to identify any of the stuff , ns similar
nrtlcle.s nro kept by every plumber and
hardware man in the city. A start had
been made toward digging n hole m the
wood shed , presumably for the purpose of
concealing some of thu stolen property , but
it had been given up on account of the
frozen condition of tTie earth.
At the time of Lltncilek's arrest he wns
accompanied b.v his brother , who made a
dosper.Ho effort to get him away from the
olllcers , but without success. The brother
himself , however , succeeded in getting
nwav , und Is still nt large. The police are
looking for him , nnd it is not likely ho will
remain out of theirchilches very long. Im
mediately afler the arrest officers went to
the house , but decided not to make any
search of the premises when Mrs , Limerick
Informed them that her two children were
lying at the point of death. Yesterday
afternoon the sick ones hnd so far recovered

"A Mud Itnrffiiln" ut the llojd.
The cleverest farce seen in Omaha this
season opened a three night's engagement at
the Boyd last evening. This is "A Mad
Bargain , * ' the work of .Tohn .T. McNally and
Julian Mitchell , which , incredible as it may
look in type , possesses some really new and
original mitth-provokiug business. The
second act. holding the mirror up to fiat life
in Xew York , is one of the cleverests piece
of work to bu seen on the stage today.
The company is an altogether excellent
one , each member perfectly cast and all con
tributing to the full effect of the'admtrable
whole. Mr. .lames T. Powers heads the
company. He has neon fitted with a part
that suits him to bis patent leathers , and his
fine comedy work never fails to find its ef
fect. In his line Mr , Powers is an artist ,
and us Arthur ilones he is seen at his best.
Mr. Peter F. Dailey divides the honors with
Mr. Powers. His songs are very funny.
Every male character is in the care of a ca
pable comedian. Miss Hnehel Booth ( Mrs.
Powers ) as Hose istantalizingly pretty , viva
cious and altogethei-clmrining. In Mrs. T'imo-
Iby Tracy , Miss Lillian Cliantoro presents a
cleverly amusing sketch. Miss Delia Stacy
is all that could be wished for as Mis. Hobin-
sou , and does some immensely Clevel
pirouetting and high kicking. Miss Delia
Jackson in the I part of Helen Brown cap
tures all hearts with her singing of a sweet ,
though somewhat florid , love song , and then
tempts the house to rapturous ebullition of
delight b.v her rendering of a much bofrilled
setting of "Comin1 Thro' the Hye. " This
was one of Iho triumphs of last evening's
performance.
The greatest high kicker ever seen in
Omaha is with "A Mad Bargain. " Her
name is Leona Forrest , and in her specialty
she is perfect. She is tall nnd handsome
and in diaphanous drapery of a shimmering
primrose yellow she bewitches her audi
ence. She is perfectly graceful in every
movement , muscular ns they all must be ,
nnd has vastly improved on the methods and
effects of the conventional high kicker. All
in all , as a farce and farce has its func
tion "A Mad Bargain" is perhaps the clov
crest tiling on the slago today.
"After liirU"ut tint rarimm.
"After D.u-k" is one of the best bits o
work over built by that prince of playwrights
Dion Boucicault , and the company'that ii
presenting it all this week at the Fnnmrif li
one of the best nl'-round ' histrionic comblna
y tlons scnnln Omaha this season. The piai
y has maintained popular approbation foi
g
u many years and Is llkefy to go on holding It
if The scenery at the Funiani is all that ii
i1. needed to adequately present the play. Tin
i1.d Silver gambling hell , the Thames and Ixin
it don by night , the railroad tunnel are all excellent
itt cellent stage pictures , and when the hcrolui
is seen struggling in the river , splashing tin
ll real water all over the scene , the onthusinsn
'i- of the spectators is invariably evoked.
'iu Mr. Atkins Lawrence is the Old Tom o

This { tain Is due , largely to private cuter-

Included hi the foregoing list is tlie Norfolk

pushed to completion. Hundreds of men and
teams arc atvofk on the road between Nor-
fork and Yankton. while the road is being
extended north from Yankton to Sioux
Falls and connects with the
Great Northern. The road is pro
posed to be extended southwest from here
to the gulf. This road means more to the
state ( > f Nebraska In general and Omaha In
particular than nuist people apprehend.
With this road In operation Nebraska has an
outlet via the great lakes for her grain
and on to New York for one-half the
present cost ol shipping. In return
lumber can bo imported from the pineries
of the north tit a less rate than it is at pres
ent obtained. As for Omaha it opens up a
territory which is at present entirely for
eign to her markets. South Dakota has long
wanted to market her beef and pork at th ?
Omaha yards which arc justly recosnl/.cd us
the best market west of Chicago. This they
have been unable to do. Hut the Norfolk

tion. The stock question , while perhaps the
most vital to Omaha , is not the only one
which is involved.

The new road opens a now Held to the whole
salers of Omaha which at present Chicago
is getting the most of , while Sioux City
is getting her share. It is'a well established
fact that many people of small towns when
desiring to make a purchase of any consider
able amount of goods , seyk a market where
they can have a larger assortment to choose
from. Many people from the country and
smaller towns within a radius of fifty miles of
Norfolk , and even as fan west as Ixmg 1'inc ,
do a considerable portion of their trading at
this point , while others go even a greater
distance to have the benefit of the Omaha
markets. The special sales which
are so generously advertised through
the .columns of Tun Bin : arc
eagerly watched by itho ladies , in par
ticular , and not infrequently do they make
a trip to the metropolis for the purpose of
attending them. From this point the Klk-
horn furnishes the best accommodation , the
train leaves the city-at 8 : ; ) a. m. , arriving
in Omaha at 100 : ! ! ; leaving Omaha at 5iO : ! p.
in. arrives in Norfolk at V'Af , thereby giving
one sovcn hours in Omaha to do trading or
attend to business. Omaha is'consiilercd the
best market as well as the best trading point
west of Chicago , and people in this part of
the state consider themselves very fortunate
in having such splendid railroad accom
modations and having access to so great a
city.Norfolk's
Norfolk's future looks very bright and she
is certainly destined to be one of the great
cities of the state in which she is located.
