BROKEN HOW , Neb , , Nov. 18. ( Special.
"Holcomb" Is the name Inscribed on i
banner run up to the highest point ot thi
pennant polo In Broken How's great publli
square , and , although the town gave a plural
Hy of a few votes to the Peruvian states
man , the breast of the average Hroken Bov
resident swells several Inches with prldi
when ho contemplates the fact that Ne
broska's next governor Is his own dlstln
guUhcd follow citizen. This Is also the homi
of that other populist celebrity , Congress
man Omar Mndlson Kern. The fact tha
thcao two champions ot the people's part :
and no more wcro successful at the rccen
election Is pointed to with considerable prld
by the Broken ttpvr populists.
Judge Holcoinb Is giving no- evidence o
any Intention ho may possess of reslgnlni
his place on the bench at this time. He I
patiently hearing the trial of a long drawn
out breach of promise case. The prosecutloi
Is represented by Judge Hamer and the dc
fonsc by Attorney Sullivan. Both are con
sldered likely candidates for Judge Ilolcomb'
place on the bench In the event that hi
resignation U presented to Governor Cromis ;
The usual quota of bald heads arc listcnln
to the eomewhat salacious testimony prc
Bcntod and there are many aspirants for pe
lltlcal appointments In tne court room , wh
scan the serene countenance of the comln
governor and fall to hear the Interesting ev
dence. In fact , Broken Bow has become
Mecca for statesmen looking for Job ] , H I
understood on reliable Information that Judg
Ilolcomb has reserved his expression of prel
ercncu In each event until all application
are In and the qualifications ot each asplrati
are carefully weighed. Probably thirty day
will elnp.su before the expectant throng wl
be made miserable by the announcement c
the judge's choice for the few. In the meat :
time the Broken Bow hotels are reaping
golden harvest.
Judge Holcomb maintains an Impcrturbabl
demeanor and a placid front , despite the c\
Idently annoying persistence of the plac
Bookers. In the morning he breakfasts carl
with his family , speaks a few words wit
the early birds who have gathered at his re :
Idenco to present their eases , nnd hurrle
down to his law office by 8 o'clock. For a
hour there he looks over an cvcr-lncreasln
pile of letters , holds a hurried levee with th
political pilgrims , and commences tha day' '
business In court. In the evening he make
an attempt at answering the day's mall.
Apropos of the cry of fraud made by th
B , & . M. clement of ( he Majors supporters , :
Is interesting to note that a great part c
Judge Holcomb's mall is filled with cvldenc
ot gross fraud committed by the rcpubllca
managers. These marked Irregularities at
not confined to any one section of the stati
but como from a great number ot counties 1
every part of Nebraska. The manipulation
were remarkable for their boidncss , and n
concealment of names or designs was mad
In- many Instances. "Old Sleuth" would b
put to shame If he knew of the cffcctlv
work done without solicitation by the friend
of an honest count In securing the names c
offenders and the methods pursued In tli
prostitution of the ballot boxes. AVhcthcr
vigorous prosecution of these varlorfi case
will follow has not been given ont. It !
not supposed , however , that tn'X ' elabarnl
collation ot facts was made merely for tt
pleasure ofctho work.
Judge Halcomb expects to bring this ten
of hi , ? court to an end about the middle i
this week , yind is contemplating a vlsl I
Omaha Immediately thereafter.

KANSAS CITY , Nov. 18 , The Journal wl
say : When Chairman Caldwell of the Wcsl
crn Passenger association opens his mall 1
Chicago Monday morning he will find
notice of withdrawal from General 1'assengc
Agent Townsend ot the Missouri Pacific. /
east It Is positive that such a notice , effectlv
November 29 , vas mailed to Mr. Caldwell lal
Saturday night. The-action of the Missouri Pi
clfio practically dissolves the Western 1'ai
senger association , which has been cltectlv
under Its present agreement for about a yet
and a half. The Union Pacific , Santa Fo ati
Alton have already withdrawn , but they ha\
always avowed themselves subject to all re ;
sellable- rulings of the association and ha\
rarely given the trouble that might ha\
iieen expected of aliens. Various causes mlgl
lie assigned for the action ot the Mlssou
Paelllc. The chief Is thai rates in genen
have been demoralized , especially to tl
bouthwcst and to the Paelllc coast. In tt
former direction blame Is likely to fall upc
the Missouri , Kansas & Texas , an alien lln
which is said to have been slanghterln
Texas rates. As Is Unoun , the Pacific coa
situation has been seriously affected by tl
action of the Canadian Pacific , because
was not subject ta association restrain
There lus also been a good deal of fecllr
about Hast St. Louis rates , and It Is ni
Improbable that the situation there was tl
Immediate caube ot the Missouri Pacific
withdrawal. It would not bo at all turprl :
Ing , the Journal continues , if the brcaklt :
up of the Western Passenger assnclatloi
which seems probable at this time , will pr
clpltate i general western passenger ra
war. The Itoclc Island will surely file notli
of withdrawal at once , and , if It does ,
will doubtless retaliate on the Missouri , Kai

Another token by which this genial India
summer makes Itself known Is the absolut

nest In the air from sunrise to sunset tli ,
sound Itself seems to have gone asleep. Bi
there Is no lonllness In the silence , It Is enl
as if everything were resting , bathed in th
happy sunshine. The flowers uro gone , th
singing birds have flown to , their souther
climes , the le.nes have dropped from tli
trees , when the Indian summer comes tral

The BiibJecb-'of'Kndlan summer was li
vestlgated as long ago as 1835 , when 13
Lymnn. Foot , IG'fhf-Unltca States army , I
his report says thlt' the Indians gave tl
season Its name by calling It their "fal
summer , " which occurred In No\ember Tl
doctor was stationed at Fort Wlnnebag
Missouri territory , rat the time , and wrol
from * actual oWemitibii. " ' He sdys :
"Wo arrlvea'afthls port on the -Jd day c
last November. We had three weeks <
Indian summer , frith "all the peculiar rednes
of the. sky lnf great perfection. " He adt :
that he' had long' observed the season wit
curious attention and calls for an oxpros
slon ot opinion on the subject from otht
observers.
Prof. Wlllet advanced the theory In a re
[ > ort made to the government .In 1867 tha
the dry fog Is real smoke , not prpduced b
prnlrlo fires , but the product of chimney !
The late Prof. Henry ot the Smlthsonla
Institute reported that a portion of th
haze , filtered , was found to contain the lav
of volcanoes and fragments of burned vege
: ables. Neither of these distinguished sclcr
lists added anything to the literature ot ou
Indian summer , so when doctors disagree , I
Is not expected that ordinary observers wl
ba able to form any tenable theory of It
course. The next best thing is to onjo
its opportunities , leaving Its origin to th
.mknown . source whence it Is deriv.M.
New England Is especially favored by thl
after summer guest. In that land ot rock
and rills the ttlllneis of the occasion Is mor
delicious , the haze more poetic and th
winds more langorous In their passive ac
quiescence In this meditative mood of natun
Emerson must have written of this psriot
" 'Twas one of the charmed days
When the genius of God doth How ,
The wind may niter twenty ways ,
A tempest cannot blow.
It may blow north , It still Is warm ,
Or south. It still Is clear.
Or east. It smells like n clover farm.
Or west , no thunder fear "
Hawthorne In speaking of this period sal <
'A ' glorious day bright , warm , yet wit

warmth and brightness. On such days
Is Impossible not to love nature , for si
evidently loves us. Vt other seasons si
does not give this Impression , but In the :
happy autumnal days , when she has pe
fectetl the harvests , 'life overflows with
blessed superfluity of love. "
The caprlco of the season Is to wait unl
winter Is almost upon us , then to drop ui
cxpectedly like a benediction with sunslili
and warmth , and a restfulness that soothi
and comforts her fractious children , ar
whisper to them sweet promises of heaven

Ono of the brightest , cleverest nnil mos

which she opened an engagement at Uoyd'i
last night. That the star has numerous ad
mlrers In Omaha was Indicated by the audi
cnco. which filled every chair In the par
qutt , and that "Dorcas" commanded thcl
cmphallo approval was evident by the en
thuslastlcencores which punctuated the per
ounance. It Is but seldom that an Omnhi
audience allows It&elt to go beyond the per

"hat It outdid Itself In this respect last nigh
a sufilclent evidence that the performanc-
vns In all respects worthy of the llattcrlni
endorsement which It received.
It might bo said that the new opera doc
tot afford Miss Hall all the scope which wa
illowed by some of her previous successes. 1
s In no sense a nflrror to reflect the bright
icss of ono particular star. As Dorcas sh
s as piquant nnd charming as ever , but Incl
lenlnlly the piece Introduces a number o
other very clever people , with whom llio sta
nust share the honors. Dramatically th
iloco Is well arranged. The plot Is easily un
lerstood and well calculated to sustain th
fcticcesslon of pleasing melodies which con
Btltuto its musical features. Briefly stated
tlio Btory of "Dorcas" Is the history ot i
Kcldedly Interesting romance In which tw
young people learn to love each other undo
in assumed rank and name. Lord Lambourn
ms a sister , Lady Honorla , who has bee :

everything Is explained and RaJy Honorl
and Lord Deauregird plight their troth i
their reaf characters.
From a musical standpoint the performanc
Is emphatically praiseworthy. The melody I
pleasing and never tlresrome , and the song
are uniformly worthy ot the artists. A
for the latter , they deserve nothing bu

most enthusiastic approval. Mr. Uroderlc
