The following la the latest manifesto In
Connection with the proposed debates be
tween Hon. John M. Thurston and Hon. W.
y. nryan :
OMAHA. Oct. 11. Hon. J. C. Wharton.
. { on nrnd , D. Slaughter , lion , n , S. Hall-
Gentlemen : I have yours of yesterday In
forming mo that you have accepted the
jiiHiingemont on behalf ot lion. John M.
Thurston of the debutes proposed between
Mm und Hon. W. J. Uryan , and that you
are ready , etc. , to arrange the details. I
therefore address you Instead of ilr. Thurs
ton concerning his letter of acceptance and
the conditions by him named therein. My
Invitation expressly reserved the arrange-
jncnt of all details to representatives to be
appointed by each party. Instead of doing
this , however , Mr. Thurston has arranged
nil material details himself without con-
sultlnj ; with Mr. Ilryan or any person repro :
sentlng him. He has fixed the dates of
the debates , the places whcro they shall
take place , the length ot time each
speaker shall speak , how admission
shall be secured to the hall , and the man
ner In which the- audience shall conduct It
self. There arc , however , but two of these
conditions to which we are disposed to except
the opening and closing at Omaha and the
admission by tickets. Wo rccognlzo that
since there are to be but two debates he who
lias the opening and closing at Omaha , where
lies the great battlefield , and where can be
accommodated an audlenca five times as large
as at Lincoln , lias a great advantage over the
other. This might fall , however , In any
event to Mr. Thurston , but wo should have
an equal opportunity with him to secure It.
With refe.'ence to the admission by tickets
It Is fulrly certain that no ono will get In
that Is not a partisan of either slde.'and yet
It is those who are not partisans who should
Itavo an opportunity to hear the discussion.
" \Vo are seeking votes , and hence proposed
the debates.
But notwithstanding our objections to these
conditions. It they cannot bo changed we will
accept them ,
At the earliest possible moment I shall
convene a meeting of the executive committee
in order that complete details for the great
discussion shall bo perfected. In the mean
time I shall be glad to meet , you and , as far
as I may , prepare everything for the debate.
.Very truly yours , C. J. SMYTH ,
Chairman ,

EDGEMONT , S. D. , Oct. 11. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The eastern business men's special
train reached hero yesterday noon , where they
were welcomed by a very largo number ot
citizens. After being given a boat rldo on
Lake Calvert they were taken by their
special fourteen miles west , where convey
ances were In waiting to carry them to the
largo dam at the head of the famous Edge
mont power canal. Arriving at the canal
the/ thoroughly Inspected Its well built dam
and flume , and after admiring Its lovely
lakes and the level stretch ot land irri
gated by it , they again returned to this
place , Later In the day they were taken
by their special to Buena Vista , there to
view the magnificent scene ot Uie mld-repub-
Ilo city of Edgemont , 1,000 feet below , made
beautiful as It Is by the sheen of the Chey
enne river In the foreground , while the bil
lowy swell of the pralrlo stretched far away
In the rear and the pine clad Black Hills
on either hand added enchantment to the
bewitching landscape. From Buena Vista
point they went to Inspect the buffstona
iiiarry | , a short distance from this
place , and after having exhausted their
adjectives In praise of the stone and having
prophesied that It would ultimately bo used I
In all the moro Important structures of the
west , they again returned to this city to
while away their tlmo awaiting the banquette 1t
to bo given In their honor at the" Burlington
hotel.
At 8 o'clock the dining room was thrown
open to the twentyfourvisitors nnd to a
like number of the principal business men of
this city , and no liner spread ever gladdened
the eyes of a party lu either ot the
cities of Chicago , Boston or Now York. It
would be useless to attempt by wire or by
pen to convey any fair Idea of the addresses
and ot the festivities ot the evening. It Is
sufficient to say the visitors each and all 1
declared that not only -were they delighted 1f
at what they had seen , but that the half
. of what gave hope to Kdgemont's future had
, not been told them by that prince ot gentle
men and Round business man , their genial i
friend and host , Mr. Francis C. Grable of
Omaha. They further stated that In their
. deliberate judgment as business men , Edge-
mont was destined In the near future to
ho the largest and most prosperous city in
this portion ot the northwest. Besides , they
asserted that they not only were entirely
satisfied with their Investments here ,
which had been made by them wholly upon
Mr. Grablo's recommendation , but that they
a do ill < 1 advise their eastern friends to also
place their money In Kdgcmont property ,
whllo at the same tlmo they themselves
. would make further Ilka Investments , being
moved to do so solely by what they had
seen and knew of the resources of the city
and vicinity.
They further assured their Edgemont
friends that all of the enterprises promised
. . by Mr. Grable for the city's future ad
vancement could and should bo car
. , ried out to the fullest letter. Many
of the citizens also made short
addresses , Mr. Savage delivering the
one of welcome , while the Burlington agent
nt this point assured all present that the
corporation he represented would do all tn Its
- power to advance each and every enterprise
begun for the upbuilding of this city.
This report would not be full without stat t-
- ing that Hon. N. K. Grlggs , the B. & M.
. attorney for this division , chancing to pass
through the city , was compelled by the guests
to wait over to take a hand In the merry
making. During the evening ho recited a
.
number of his poems , Including "Ben Mar-
erlck , " "Joe and the Blizzard , " to give the ,
visitors an Idea of western life as ho knew
-
It. His poems aroused great enthusiasm
among the visitors and they declared that J
Mr. Grlggs1 lines gave- them n better and a "
more vivid picture of western character and
Incident than anything they bad ever before
heard or read.

Note of iv Councilman raid by
, Contractor.
LINCOLN , Oct. 11. ( Special. ) Over 1,000
pages ot testimony were filed yesterday In
the case ot J. T. McDonald against J. A.
Iluckitaff and others. The evidence was
that adduced betoro Heferee J , H. Broody ,
whose decision was filed the other day , and
some of It Is decidedly interesting. The
case , as It will be < remembercd , was brought
by McDonald to recover the sum ot $22,000
claimed to bo duo as his s'haro of the profits
oft a contract for city paving. Buckstaff
entered a cross petition wherein ho set up
that McDonald misstated ! facts to the council
when he tola them that the contract price
was $1.75 , and not tl.75J4 , as claimed by
Buckstaff , and that the half cent addition In
the contract was a forgery. He also re
lated that there were lobbying expenses In
cident to getting the contract approved by
the council , of which McDonald should pay
his share , and various other expenses.
The testimony of W. II. B. Stout , one of
the defendants , was to tha effect thM Mc
Donald was In on the deal , as was he and
nuckstaff , and Referee Broady practically
found for the defendants.
Buckstaff relates how McDonald repre
sented himself to be an expert In the parIng -
Ing business ; how he got up In council meetIng -
Ing and testified that the one-half cent ad
dition In the contract price was a forgery ,
nnd how he worked against the allowance
of the claim. Mr. Buckstaff , In commentIng -
Ing upon the various expenditures , of which
ho thought McDonald should' ' pay a share ,
says that ono check , payable to Bushnell
and Hyde , was given for having the paving
written up In their newspapers. He says
there had been a great deal of complaint
about the paving , and that the papers were
asked to compliment the work and state
that the paving was progressing as fast as
possible.
Among the exhibits along with the testi
mony Is a note payable to the Columbia
National bank for $150 , signed by H. M.
Hlcc , formerly a member of the council , and
J1. A. Buckstaff as surety. The note was
paid by Buckstaff. Aside from this rather
suggestive exhibit , are other accounts and
checks , one ot the latter , for (50 , being payable -
able to Louie Meyer for lobbying expenses.
The expenses ot this description amount
In all to nearly ? 5.000.

Julia Blarlotro In School for Scandal. "
It has been a number of years since an
Omaha audfence lins lind the rare pleasure
of listening to Brlnsley Sheridan's brilliant
sa'lro ' upon the Uojcnca ? of Engll h morJl ty
during the period of the Georges , "The
School for-Scandal. " Of late years It has
been the aim und purpose of dramatists to
give a patter and spray to their -work
rather than that food for thought -which
characterizes the writings of Sheridan ,
Knowles and the e other woithles who have
Illumined the dramatic page by their bril
liancy , their versatility and their profound
grasp of current events which they so finely
satirized. The modern Idea seems tn be to
make a. songof sixpence caper as merrily
to measure as one's feet caper to the seduc
tive charms of a waltz. In the midst of this
tendency toward the superficial , that sop to
the materialism of the age , there comes
a little woman with the courage of her con
victions , nnd by the revival of old plays
places her audiences under many obligations
for the breathing spell she affords them
from the drivel -which pushes current on the
stage an comedies , farcical urn ! musical , nnd
other forms of entertainment having but
a single purpose to amuse.
Last night Julln Murlowe Taber , as this
charming woman Is to be known henceforth ,
made a. representative audience nt Boyd'a
acquainted with "The School for Scandal. "
a play that Is hardly known to the present
generation of theater goers , and won a
measure of success , but by no means ns
great a triumph as she has earned In other
plays of her repertoire. Whether the young
artiste did the pioper thing in rescuing from
ungenerous noelert this keen satire upon the
morals of the " ( fraud ones of earth , " who
circled about the "English court In the last
century , Is yet an unsolved question , lor the
Judgment of the public Is slow , and from
last night's performance It would not 1)8 fair
to the star or her company to condemn the
resurrection. While the play Is very broad
In Us treatment of social problems , the
women appearing- the light of scandal
mongers , the men us tale hearers nnd be
trayers of virtue and Innocence , It abounds
In beauty of sentiment und cleverness of
Idea that could not he extracted from a
dozen plays which me endured with com
plaisance nowadays. Essentially a stock
play , It requires n c inpany cf sttillns actors
to pioperly bring out nil Its beuuty , ami last
night the rompuny which snrroundH Miss
Marlowe did not realize all that Is required
of them ,
Of Miss Marlowe s Lady Teazle much
might be written In praise ; considerable in
the way of kindly oiltlclsm. The refined
beauty of the artiste Is still predominant ,
her personality remains the same. Reason
as you will , beauty nnd youth ore ever
present theatrical factors. They Influence
engagements now OH they did years and
years ago , they affect the receipts and they
oven go so far as to color criticism. Gather
In your mind the reminiscences of the
women of the past. Do you remember what
they did or how they looked ? Can you tell
how Adelaide Nellson did the potion scene
or can you only recall her sweet , dreamy
face In the balcony scene ? Did you ever
hear a veteran speak ot Agnes Robertson
without beginning- her beauty ? All that
the "boys" remember of Albanl Is that she
had corn , and wine In her face. Bo , too , will
Julia Marlowe be remembered when she
passes off the stage. There may be an old
stager who will praise her Constance , who
will worship nt the shrine of her Viola , but
the thousands will f = i > eak of her eyes , her
finely modeled chin , her voice that has a
flute lu it. but none will remember her
Lady Teazle. While she brings to the part
much that Is commendable , while Bhe Is as
full of sparkle as champaKne , an full of
freshness as a May morning , as full of color
as the shifting Hen , she lacks the tlnesse ,
the long1 experience UH a player the role re
quires.
Here and there she gave evidences of the
genlua that seeks rn-muke itself known , but
very often dropped bark Into the common
place , marring the picture , at the same time
somewhat dampening the ardor of her
friends In front , who weru not overly en
thusiastic , But she made the character Im
pulsive , warm-hearted , full of life , full of
uayety , and there was a measure ot compen
sation In all this , even If she did not Jill
the author's Idea of the part.
Next to Miss Marlowe , Miss Rose Kytlng
won a fine recognition an Mrs. Candour ,
playing the scandal bearer with delicious
humor. The Maria of Mra. Woodward was
a dainty bit , her reading being particularly
retlned , In keeping with the gentleness of
the character. Mr. ! ' . A. Hverlll as Blr
Peter-was really splendid. Although suffer
ing from n. hoarseness which made his lines
often unintelligible , his scenes with Lady
Teazle were played with finished ability , and
his Interview with Joseph Surface a. clever
bit of acting. Mr. C'ollliw. in the role of Sir
Oliver , was another pleasing surprise , which
may bo said of Mr Colemon an Charles , but
Mr. Taber as Joseph wns stiff , 111 at ease
and gave an almost colorless portraiture
of the youns scamp who comes very nearly
rulnlnir his friend household through a
too fond devotion for Lady Teazle. Villains ,
even of the George period , are not In Mr ,
Tabor's line. He. Is essentially a lover , ro
mantic In every respect , ami Miss Marlowe
must not offend the equities by castlnK hoi
husband In any other part except that ol
the love lorn gentleman Indttlrii * sonnvtr
jo W3 mistress' eyebrow. Crubtree anC
Backbite were In competent hands , but the *
others were not in any degree strong.
Tony I'lirrrll In " ( lurry > T n. "
The liberty with which modern play
wrights have drawn upon the Irish char
acter has supplied the stage with much that
Is good and much more that Is strained and
unsatisfactory. "Garry Owen , " as played
by Tony Karrell and his company at the
Fifteenth Street theater last night. Is one
of the best of all the stories of Irish life
which have been seen on the Iccal stage.
As a melodrama It has more than usual
merit and , supplemented by new anil enter
taining musical features , Us performance Is
n the highest decree enjoyable. While Tony
" "nrretl " Is not a great Irish comedian , he li
upnblo enough tn please the average
heatergocr , and his rendition of the old
rlsh songs Is more than sulllclent to atone
or any deficiencies in his more humorous
mssages. But the character of Garry Owen
demands not only a comedian , but an actor ,
and In the more traglo scenes of the tory
Mr. Farrell Is a most satisfactory hero.
The singing Is the most pleasing feature
of the performance , and repeated encores
ewardeil each selection. The mixed quartet
rendered Rome delightful selections und the
rendition of the vespeij * music In the second
act was received with the applause which
t deserved. Taken us n whole , the per-
"ormnnce was one of the best that has been
seen here this season and well deserved the
arse audience -which received It with en-
huslastlc approbation.
