District Court-
The case of Maude Bryant against the
Omaha & Council Bluffs Bridge company
did not come to trial yesterday , as was ex
pected , an agreement having been reached
between the nttorenys for a continuance
until October 25. The basis ot Hie agree
ment was a stipulation by the attorneys for
the defense that the question of the com
pany's liability should be urged , the only
point at Hsue tie Ing the amount of the lia
bility.
A verdict was rendered In favor of the dc-
fcndant in the case of the Central Building
and r. Loan association against the Phoenix In
surance company. The suit wns brought to
recover Insurance on a house destroyed by
lire , the amount of the policy being fl.'W ) .
The main point of the defense was that after
the Insurance policy had been Issued the
properly passed Into other hands than the
person owning It at the time the policy wns
written. The Insurance company WHS not
notified of the change of owners
mid no application had been inaiie
by the new owner to have the
insurance policy transferred. The manner
In which the liutldtnj * and Loan association
becaino Involved In tha suit was that they
had loaned the money used In the construc
tion of the house , and held u mortgage as
collateral The Insurance company offered
to settle the dlsputo at ono time by the pay
ment dt $1,100 , but the loan association re
jected the offer. The case , will be appealed.
A motion for dismissal was filed by the
city attorney In the case of J. B. Fulton
against the city. Fulton filed a petition al
leging that the city had "blacknlalled" the
saloon keepers by the monthly flue system
during the prohibition days , and demanded
judgment for the amount of the "blackmail. "
A motion for a more specific statement was
sustained by the court , and , as Fulton did
not come to time , a dismissal Is called for.

LONDON , Oct. ii The most notflbio thing
In connection with the past theatrical week
has been the action of the county council In
refusing "n drinking auditorium" license to
the Empire theater and requiring the closing
of Its promenades. It Is nn Incident of the
annual attack upon the music halls license
arbj
bj the social purity leaguers and the vigil
ance comlttees , etc. This year the evidence
against * the Palace theater Is mainly that two
anonymous Americans have professed to have
been [ awfully shocked at the ballet , which
caused the Pall Mall Gazette to remark :
"This reveals Americans In London In qulto
a new light. "
Manager George Edwards , however , will
not give In without making a sturdy fight.
Ho announces that lie will appeal to the
county council , and that falling to obtain
what he considers Justice from that body ,
vrlllImmediately _ close the Empire theater ,
thus throwing 1,009 people out of employment
Just us the winter Is approaching.
The Palace theater , on the other hand , has
succeeded In getting Its license and there was
no opposition to the application of the Al-
liambra for Its official permission lo con-
tlnuo business as heretofore , although both
of these places are considered to be equally
guilty with the Empire theater In the charges
brought against the latter establishment.
The kaiser has promised to be present at
the opening of the Hoyaf theater at Wies
baden on Tuesday next.
No play Is produced nowadays but there Is
rancorous dlsputo ns to plaguarlsin In conncc- ,

authors Is to sit some time In November to
try' the question whether or not the plot of
Slgnor Leon Cavnlos' successful "Iplglacol"
was borrowed from "La Femmc de Tabarln"
of Cntulle Mendes. To an outsider the anger
of ' Cntulle Mendes , seemtf superfluous as the
Incident of an actor killing his faithless wlfo
In full view of the audience Is very old. It
occurs ( In "Yorlck , " which the late Lawrence

Cecil Melnotto lias been exceedingly busy
during the past week attempting to finish the
details of the Joint appearance of "ThejChlna-
man" und "A Trip to Chinatown" at Toole's.
Tlio plain facts of the case ore , "Tlio China
man" had grown to n popular success Just
when previous arrangements compelled Its
withdrawal Miss. Melnotte having leased the
Trafalgar for the production of "My Ivanhoe"
from thp 4th of October. On the other hand ,
"A Trip to Chinatown" was not well enough
cast to make It a success. Miss Melnotte's
Idea was that the two- could be sandwiched ,
playing alternate nights , and If It was found
"A Trip to Chinatown" did not pay , the suc
cessful "Chinaman" would certainly draw
good business to the house ,
Great preparations have- been made at the
Avenue , which opens Thursday next , more
for the purpose of restoring May Yoho to
London playgoers than from any remarkable
success that can be anticipated from the
production of "The Lady Slavey. " Miss Yohe
will sing a catchy song by Joseph Watson , for
which Mrs. Watson has written very charm
ing music. Whatever success the piece may
achieve will result from the cleverness of the
performers and ( ho Incidental music.

A splendid production Is to bo given at
Boyd's theater Friday evening. "Diplomacy"
Is neither a "gallery" nor a "pll" play , but
ono which keeps the attention of bath. The
story of the drama Is hinged about the Ill-
fated love of a woman , strong , passionate ,
vindictive , who , when she sees her lover
marry another , destroys their happiness by
casting suspicion , through Intrigue , upon the
honor of both ,
hiM The leading role , of course , la enacted by
Miss Rose Coghlan , whose physical and facial
qualities < suit her for the part of Countess
Zlckn , a woman not exactly scorned , but
nevertheless | with proverbial "fmy. "

Includes Frederic de Belleville , as Henry
Beauclere ; John T. Sullivan , as Julian ; Cecil
M. York , as Count Orloff ; J. W. Shannon , as
Baron Stein ; Miss Maxlne Elliott , as Dora ;
Miss Itattle Iliisscll , ns the Marquise , and
MUs Blanch Burton , as Lady Henry.
On Saturday afternoon a flue presentation
of Oscar Wilde's latest play , "A Woman of

Now York and Boston , where the papers com
mented upon the Intellectual gatherings.
By request , Miss Coghlan will give "For-
get-Me-Not" on Saturday night.
"Rush City , " by Gus Heege , the author of
"Yon Yonson. " will b3 proiluced at .Boyd's
theater on this ( Sunday ) evening. Ths action
of "Rush City" begins In the top story
New York oUlceof John J. Rush , n specuc
later , who Is promoting tlio new Oklahoma
city , named after himself , and described by
him In the most glowing terms. He Is
aided by his typewriter girl In dodging his
creditors. He soils lots to various people
who have reasons for emigrating lo the new
mclrorol.'s , a jay rainmaker , a teugh gamu'cr
a bncll pastor , a dude , u practical politician ,
a Boston school mann , a lively young Chicago
cage woman , who U seeking a divorce. Be
sieged by his creditors , Husli in desperation
sets fire to hla own olllce and puts out tlio
fire , while they are clambering pell mell
down the lire escape. The second act finds
Rush and his emigrants on the barren ,
shanty-dotted Oklahoma sltJ of the "clry. "
which on paper looked like a second Chi
cago. The population of "Rush City" Is
augmented by the arrival of a vociferous
cowboy and a theatrical manager , who has
been acting as mayor of the adjacent
metropolis of CactuBvllle. The citizens
resent Rush's endeavors to control the elec
tion , whereupon Rush plans to steal and
remove the county seat , In which
project he Is aided by the timely
arrival of a cyclone , which Is shown on the
stage -with great effect. The third act passes
at Cactusvllle , whither some of the person
ages have been borne by the cyclone , others
by the limited express , "drawn by a mule. "
The cyclone and the rcmovel have produced
very ludicrous complications. Opportunities
for mechanical effects and scenic display
win be eecn to exist In the play and suita
ble accessories are noticeable features of
Davis & Keosh's productions. The latest
songs and dances are given , and a series of
humorous animate art pictures. The- company
Include such well known artists as Malhcns
and Bulger , T. Edwnrd Hall. Adelaide Ran
dall , Merrl Osbourne , Gussle Hart , Josle Claf-
lln and Sadie Claflln.
At the Fifteenth Street theater for four
nights nnd Wednesday matinee , comincncftu ;
with matlneo today , Stair & Nlcolal's com
edy , "A Cracker Jack. " will receive Its flrsl
Omaha proJuctlou. "A Cracker Jack" Is the
product ot Herbert Hall Wlnslow's pen , and
tells a story that Is highly exciting. It
opens at Becchmcre , on the Hudson , an es
tate that had been left by Mr , Chandler In
charge of his steward , Thomas Carrlngton
Chandler , while abroad with , his son and
only heir , Lawrence , dies in Egypt , and later
Carrlnston hears ot the son's death. By
virtue of longnnd undisputed possession , he
cornea to look upon the estate as his own ,
nnd through the machinations of Brooke
Brown , a supposed friend , ho loses consider
able In speculation. After years Lawrence
Chandler returns to claim his own ; Carrlng-
ton Is about to make a clean breast of his
shortage and attempt reparation when Brooke
Brown appears , and a series of complications
arises , Involving Carrlngton , Ills daughter ,
Chrlsllne , Chandler and Brown. A tragedy
Is averted by the timely appearance of Sam
Derrick , a gawky law student , In love with
Christine.
The succeeding : acts are laid In Oklahoma ,
where the Carrlngtons are followed by
Brown , who Is determined to gain the- hand
of Christine. By artful subterfuge he fastens
the crime of stage robbery upon Carrlngton
and Induces tha vigilantes to lynch him.
The arrival of Chandler , Interference ol
Derrick and the aid of Sheriff Jorden frus
trate Brown's designs , but not without
several exciting scene , ? . Including a clever
fistic encounter and laler a n&vel sword com
bat between Chandler and Brown , and a
lynching lacene. In which the victim Is
actually strung up ; also a tar-and-feather
episode , In which the vllllon gets a free
ride on the proverbial rail.
This brief outline docs not touch on the
several subplots , nor give an Inkling of the
numerous naturally brought out thrilling
situations and artistically contrived comedy
complications , Nor does It more than hint
at the- pure heart Interest , the- genuine heroic
sentiment and natural comedy characteri
zations In which the play abounds.
Joe Ott , the sepulchral comedian , who has
mounted Iho top pinnacle of success In his
peculiar line of work , will explode a new
satire by Franklyn W. Lee , entitled "The
Star Gazer , " and this new farcical fun ex
tractor will bo presented at the Fifteenth
Street theater for three nights and Saturday
matinee , commencing Thursday , October 18.
An exceptionally strong farce comedy or
ganization has been engaged to present this
latest and exceedingly funny skit , which in
cludes a bevy of pretty girls ,
Conroy & Fox , who will bo here next Sun
day at the Fifteenth Street theater , at ths
head ot their own company , In "Hot To-
males , " a musical comedy , the story of which
centers around a broker's office In New York
City , will be rememboral as the clever Irish
comedians with the Howard Atheneum com
pany last season. Mr , Conroy. as his name
will Indicate , Is u pure-blooded Irishman , ani
Is noted for being the only Irishman In Ihe
city of New York who can vote as he pleases
without Dick Crok.ir pulling the string , He
studied Irish character among the 'longshore
men about the docks of the city of New York
and the character he assumes Is that of an
Irish sailor. Jerry Flannagan , which fits his
peculiar abllltl s , Mr. Fox , a the Wai
street broker , carries the burden of the play
and Miss St. George Hussey , as his sister
"Just landed , " makes an elegant foil for his
comedy abilities. Among the company are
such well known people O.B Kitty Allen. Josle
La Fontaine , May Allen , Urellyn Paddock
and Arlle Latham , the clown of Iho base
ball Held.

CATARRH , THROAT AND LUNG TROUBLES MAKING HAVOC EVERYWHERE ,
Drs. Copalnnd and Shepard Caring for Sufferers at a Merely Nominal
TT.vnnnon
So far from Ihcro being any abatement or
any clear signs of abatement In tha recent
wide prevalence of all manner of climatic
and : catarrhal maladies , there Is no question
but that the past week has been worse than
the preceding , Drs. Co pel a ml nnd Shepard ,
who are perhaps closest to the people gener
ally , In their professional capacity , have no
hesitation In declaring the maladies referred
teAr now definitely and decidedly epidemic.
And It Is needless to add that family phynl-
clans of largo practice , professionally fn-
mlllar with climatic action on the human
system , and personally conversant with the
present situation , confirm the statement ns
unquestionably true.
Nor Is the nbienco of any alarming pres
ent Increase In the death rate of the city
any evidence- the contrary. The curse of
the maladies now prevalent does not Ho in
their Immediate or early fatality. The dan
ger and the horror of them Is In n postponed
fatality In their Innevltablo liability to be-
coma settled nnd chronic , with no other
prospect If neglected , than that of n long
period of suffering.
Drs , Copclnml and Shepard hare had a vast
experience In the diagnosis nnd handling-
these diseases and their subtle complications ,
and their methods reflect the present ad-
" anced state of medical science ,
