KILPATRICK-KOCH DRY GOODS CO
Interest In the theaters during the pas
week of tragic presentation has centered t
the work ot the rarely gifted young ma
who appeared in the great roles ot tragedy
Shakespearean and others , at the Crelghtoi
All of Mr. Whitestde's performances hav
been enjoyable. Some , perhaps , more tha
others , but each presenting some feature
which entitled it to a high place amen
characterizations of its kind. One desire :
not to be misunderstood in one's expresscc
estimate of Mr. Whltesldo as a tragedian
Ono might call him the foremost among
tragic actors of the present day a posltloi
which , oven If It carried with it a grcate
meed of honor than belongs to it In tbos
degenerate times , bei would not bo too cage
to claim , for one believes Mr. Whltesld
to bo a modest man , and a well-balanced
whom not oven the Indiscriminate and in
judicious eulogies of his friends can turn
topsy-turvy. One might call his Hamlet th
greatest since Booth and not bo very fa
wrong. Such large and comprehensive .state
incntii are easily made , and not readily dls
proved , even If one were disposed to dispute
them. The faults Mr. Whltesldo has , am
they must ho apparent to everyone , are
tliobo which are Incidental to his youth am
to the lack of rigid training caused by his
early and constant appearance as a star
One cordially agrees with those critics who
credit Mr. Whltsldo with all the admirable
qualities which , when they are ripened am
rounded out with ago and experience , wll
make him a great tragedian. He may bo
the greatest today , but one hopes to give
him a better title , than that. A man may
be the- biggest man In the village , and not
bo a very big man either.
It was not In any way Mr. Whlteside's
fault , but while Hamlet's friends were
swearing- secrecy at the bidding of the rest
less ghost , Thursday night , a prominent
citizen , whoso name la not unconnected will :
the local drama , went sound asleep and
snored audibly , to the huge delight of cer
tain of his. neighbors , who looked upon
tliu Injunction , "Rest , perturbed spirit , " as
particularly timely and appropriate. The
'
weary citizen , however , awoke In tlmo 'to
join heartily In the applause which resulted
in a well deserved recall for thetragedian. .
The extra attraction announced at the
Ccelghton for the coming four nights , openIng -
Ing with a matlneo today at 2:30 : , Is a gor
geous representation ot Tompkins' "Dlack
Crook , " by the tumo famous company which
enjoyed a marvelous run of twelve months
at the Academy of Music In Now York and
six months at the famous Doston theater.
Magnificently designed new costumes of cost
liest silks , velvets and satins have been pre
pared for the tour. Now and elaborate
scenery has been prepared from the Bands
of our country's hist scenic artists , and many
navel effects of startling brilliancy Intro
duced. The Slalacta of the"Dlack Crook"
will be In the lianJa of Miss Leslie Mayo ,
who Is said to be a worthy and artistic suc
cessor of the many Impersonators of thU
role since the days of Pauline Markham at
Nlblo'a Garden. The- leading premiers are
Mile. Kraskce and Mile. Maveroffer , of the
tlioateiu of Milan , St. Petersburg and Paris ,
and tiny will be supported by a bevy of
coryphees , selected with special regard to
their youth , beauty and artistic acquirements.
Three gorgeous ballets will be Introduced ,
Dim of which , entitled the "Ballet of Gems , "
Is entirely new to the stage of this country.
Among other novelties are the Introduction
of the Musical Marionettes and the up-to-
date "Trilby Ballet. The Spanish Sere-
enaders will appeal to the musical loving pub
lic , as Indeed will the- Ingenious ballet de
vised upon the laeat popular airs ot the day ,
Among the strongest vaudeville specialties

ton ) , In his wonderful changes. Tbls pro
duction employs the wrvlcea of 100 artists
In all brandies , and the cervices of live train
coaches are enlleted for their transportation ,
besides a number ot sixty-foot baggage cars ,
The advent of the "Black Crook" as a pro
duction will be- hailed with delight , and the
occasion la cue not likely to be noon forgot
ten by our local play-goers. The manage
ment has given ample assurance that the
spectacle will be given with the same gen
erous attention to detail that witnessed Its
memorable New York rim of a year.
The attraction at Boyd's theater tonight
will be J. K. Emmett , "Our Fritz , " as ho I
familiarly known to theater-goers. In his eve
popular comedy , "Fritz in a Mad House.1
The play affords Mr. Emmett an cxcellen
vehicle tor displaying his peculiar talent , ad
milling of the Introduction of the singing ant
dancing for which "Our Fritz" is famed.
Mr. Emmett comes this y.ear surrounded by
a company ot unusual excellence. Mis
Emyllne Barr , Mr. L. P. Hicks , Mls Kat
Eckcrt , Wlllard Newell , Laura S. Howe , Mr
Gilbert Bralthwalte , George Hernandet and
llttlo Baby Spencer Slnnot are among th
prominent names In the cast.
"Down In Dixie" Is a title that exactly hit
the play to which it belongs. This play wll
soon be nn attraction In this city , coming to
the Crelghton for four nights , commencing
Sunday matinee , December 1. It was writ
ten by Scott Marble to give a picture o
southern lifeto tell a very sensational story
and to provide an opportunity for the Intro
ductlon of a pickaninny band and a lot o
darkey singers in addition to the regular
dramatic company of white people. The
manly son of a proud , rich planter loves a
girl of humble origin. His family close their
doors on her , but she wins their love by
the courage and cleverness with which she
defeats the plots of two villains against them.
She saves two lives during the course of the
ploy and both In very exciting circumstances.
Perhaps the mott stirring scene In the drama
Is tliut where the huge cotton compress Is
used. A number of big bales of real cot
ton are compressed by this machine , dem
onstrating Its enormous power of pressure.
Two villains knock a young naval officer
senseless , place him In the compress , start
the machinery and set fire to the warehouse.
The heroine breaks from the office In which
she Is locked and drags the ofl\cer \ from the
compress just as itu great Jaws are about to
close. An earlier feature of this warehouse
scene Is the Zouave drill by the pickaninnies.
umiiy iiancKer ana ner company or piay-
ers will present the comedy , "Our Flat , " at
the Boyd for three nights and Saturday mati
nee. The engagement begins with a Thanks
giving matinee. . It will be remembered that
.hero Is a scene In "Our Flat" which shows
remarkable Ingenuity and originality. Emis
saries ot an Installment house enter the flat
and strip It of Its furnishings to satisfy an
unpaid claim. The young wife Is left alone
In her beut room with nothing but a few pil
lows , scarfs and curtains. With the as
sistance of a maid sbe undertakes to repro
duce the former effect of the Interior with
joxes , tubs and baskets draped nlth the cur-
: alns and scarfs. In live minutes the work
a complete and tha audience la left to ad
mire the result and moralize on the many
pretty devices to which woman will resort In
order to preserve appearances.
George W. Parsons heads the support as
he Impecunious playwright and husband. Will
Jandevllle as the theater manager , Phillip
I. Hyley In the character ot the unsucceis-
ul aitor , and Charles Leonard Fletcher as
he fatl > er-ln-law , need no Introduction to our
public , and Anita Verns Is doing the servant
girl this year , replacing LetJarvls ,
An event of more than pa PS Ing Importance
will be the appearance ot William H. Crane ,
he comedian , at Boyd'e theater on Monday
light In " 'His Wife's Father. " This play
ia had an overflowing- measure of success
n all of the cities * In which It has been Men ,
nd It Is described as being a very clever
vork. The play will be repeated on Tuesday
Ight , Mr. Crane's engagement being for two
Ights. The story of the play relates to
lucbanan Bllllngci , a wealthy merchant , and
fell , his only child. The scene opens on
lie morning of Noll's marriage to Frank
lamlltou , and shows Billings supervising
lia details ot the wedding breakfdit. To
I * little girl Billings bM devoted all lite.
Ono ot the first things that ho does Is to
make Frank a partner In his business and
withdraw from active participation in Us
affairs himself In order that he may have
unlimited time to devote to his daughter.
He Interferes continually In the domestic ar
rangements ot the young couple and they
rarely have * n opportunity of enjoying one
another's poclety alone and undisturbed. It
Is not to be expected that any young couple
are going to stand much of this , and they
move from the old man's house , leaving the
latter bitterly Incensed against his son-in-
law. It never dawns on the old man that
he has been causing the trouble and he con
tinues to devise plans for Nell's comfort.
The very first morning that Nell Is In her
now home ho calls on her. The little
woman has not been an undutlful daughter
and rushes to his arms. This nettles bar
husband , quarrels ensue , which are unwit
tingly aggravated by the old man , and the
result la that Frank leaves his wife and goes
to Europe. As Nell realizes that she has
lost her husband on account of her divided
love she turns upon her father and , as she
upbraids him , falls on the floor In a faint.
A widow with an only daughter opens
Billings' eyes to the- fact that his selfish love
for his daughter has ruined her happiness.
Realizing this he brings the girl home with
him , where she remains until he brings about
a reconciliation. This done , ho marries the
widow and retires In the background of the
young people's lives. It will be seen from
this that the play Is founded on an error of
the heart and that the story Is pure and
clean.
Mr. Crane will be the father , Miss Anne
O'Neill the daughter , Mr. Edwin Arden the
husband and Miss Eleanor Barry the widow.
Miss Dallas Tyler , Miss Blanche Burton , Miss
Maude Carlisle , Mrs. Kato Denln Wilson ,
Joseph Wheelock , Jr. , Percy Brooke , George
F. DeVero , William Boag , E. D. Tyler and
O. V. DeVere will also be In the cast.
Although the title of " 1492 , " the brilliant
extravaganza which will be presented by
Rico's big company at the Crolghton for
three nights , opening with a special holi
day matinee on Thanksgiving day , Thursday ,
November 28 , Is 403 years behind the times ,
the performance as a whole has all the snap
and ginger of dialogue and the extravagance
of stage settings and costuming of the present
period In this waning century. " 1492" ran
steadily In New York for more than two
years and has also had tremendously suc
cessful engagements In Boston , Chicago and
other cities where nothing but the best in a
spectacular way would bo tolerated for any
length of time.
The curtain rises on the Spanish court ,
whoso treasury has been depleted through the
reckless extravagance of the king and the
treasurer's love for glittering diamonds.

ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM.
Uecently a decision was handed down by
the Insurance department of the state o
Illinois by which it Is hoped that In a shor
time the Independent Order of Foresters am
the Independent Order of Foresters of Jill
nols xvlll finally lay asldo their difference
and come together Into one body. This de
clslon grants a license to the former body
which recently met In Chicago.
The separation which resulted In the or
ganization of two bodies occurred In 1879
and came about through a disagreement re
gardlnn the basis on which assessments
should be levied. The present plsn of the In
dependent Order of Foresters was adopted
and thereupon a number of the members o
the high court seceded Mid formed the other
order , the Independent 'rder of Foresters of
Illinois. Sine ? thac time alt efforts looking
toward a reunion have been futile.
In 1S93 It was for a time hoped that the
differences would be settled and that or
agreement would be reached for a reunion of
the two bodies. At the last moment the
articles of amalgamation were not found tc
be acceptable to the Independent Order el
Foresters of Illinois and the bodies remained
separate. Through all the years since the
separation there has been a flglit between tlio
two bodies , and up to last month the Inde
pendent Order of Foresters of Illinois suc
ceeded In preventing the other order from
obtaining an Insurance * license. The effect
of the granting of the license has already
been felt In the west. As an Instance Court
Alamenla of South Omaha , with a member
ship of forty-five , lias gone over In a body to
the Order of Independent Foresters , and It
la understood that others are preparing to
follow in Its footsteps.
Writing under date of November \ to Frank
'j. Gregory , agent of Union Pacific council
o. 1,009 , Royal Arcanum , John E. Pound ,
supreme regent of the order , says : "I have
ust signed an order for $3,000 , payable to
ho beneficiary ot the late Brother Asher
ii. Lyon , a member of your council. Slnse
.lay 24 last I have signed orders to the
aiiicunt of $9,000 , payable to the bcneflclarlo *
of deceased brothers In your state , which
shews that the Royal Arcanum has been of
seme Intrinsic benefit to them. Such ac-
Icns speak louder than any words of praise
can as to the advantages of the order. "
While It Isn't always pleasant to be ro-
ninded at all times of certain death , a degree
of terror Is removed by the reflection that
Ife Insurance ID held in some/ reliable con-
ern. In this respect the words of Supreme
lecent Pound mean much to more than 170-
00 men In the United States. Hut Insur-
nco Is not the. only aim of the Hoyal Ar-
anum. Most ot the members realUa that
hey will be a long time dead , So they
have a feature of the game they can beat
without dying. A merry time here Is one
of the objects of the order , and a mote social
ot of fellows than those enlisted In tlio
anlts In Omaha and Council Bluffs would
10 hard to find. Union Pacific council , over
which Regent Gregory presides with such
dignity , Ii a model In this respect , and no
ne who has ever shared In the hospitality of
the members on the frequent occasions of Its
lubllo reception's needs further assurance of
he fact. In addition to being a royal good
fellow Gregory Is a huitler , and his worker
or the- Royal Arcanum In Omaha and Ne-
> rasku has been such a to entitle him to the
hanks of all poisestors of the secret.
Last evening occurred one of the rather
are occasions on which the thirtieth do-
reo of the Masonic body Is conferred upon
TO members ot the order and they are ad-
nltted Into the preceptor ) ' of the Knights
[ adouh , The ceremony was performed by
he officers of St. Andrew's preceptory of this
Ity , the only preceptory In the state. The
egreo waa conferred upon six candidates.
A ceremony of the kind Is looked upon as
tort ot reunion , and consequently Knights
ladosh from over the state as a rule attend
le occasions. Last night's meeting was no
xce-ptlon , There were about seventy-five
lembers present , and some of them repre-
snted the more distant town * la the state.
One Itnlght came even from Deadwood. It
is expected that only one more opportunity
will be offered this season for the receiving
of the deJree.
The newly organized Criterion club seems
to be Impregnated with the proper spirit , for
although it is but a week old It has al
ready almost completed all the arrangement ! )
for a grand ball , which la to be given on the

that the club has coma to stay the affair has
been announced as the first annual 'ball ot

lowed by the dancing program. The com

ment program will be especially good , as
