Miss Aniallc Ilofer of Chicago , who Is presl
ill nt of the kindcrgarUn department of th
National KdiKxitlnnnl association , dellverei
n lecture on "Child Study" to fully 10
women at the Woman's club yesterday after
noon.
Of the various phases of child eludy , the
physiological , the psychological and soclolog
leal , Mica Ilofer said she preferred the latte
and proceeded to speak of the child as a
Miclol being , needing In the main Jut the
same essentials for comfort and growth tha
an adult ncods. First , companionship ; second
end , the activities utilized In a constructlv
uay , and third , that his Inner life be allowec
to grow and remain Intact that his Idea
might be cherished.
Perhaps no point In the discourse was mor
forcibly presented t'lan that children are o
tin- same substance and mold as Ihe adult
nnd tint to bo considered as a class beneatl
or n class remote , but of one kind will
the adult. Thn parent or teacher la a mode
from which the child Is continually repro
duclng.
Kroebel dwells much upon the value of the
chlld'n becoming familiar with types , typos
. < if color and of form. He also meant that ti
the adult who had charge of the child 1
should nnd a typo of all the child should
become. Only thus can a normal child bo
found , because If parent or teacher be not a
worthy typo the child's life , which Is bound
to be n series of reproductions , will mirror
nil the evils of themodel. . Hence proper
corrpanlonshlp Is ono or the great essentials
The molhcr who knows how to take away the
worry , sooth the Irritation and have the lit
tle one calm and happy Is the companionable
mother , the successful mother.
So far n a'ctlvtty Is concerned , the great
question Is to make use of this great reut-
lese fore ? in such a way that It may bo of
rcjl service , that the child may not only be
relieved from the fret of at ! ' energy turne <
back upon Itself , but that It may feel the
pleasure of having done something of value
, It requires ckill to chain the forces of Ni
agara. It requires genius to perfectly direct
the energies of the child.
"UP3 common pense. Think of yourself
as a child. Recall your dreams , your aspira
tions , your longings. Doubtless your child
lias nil of them , Tell stories , stories thai
have spoken to men through all ages , stories
that hold Irulh , no mailer In whal guise. "
Miss Hofer thinks a mother' ? story telling
deparltnont might well find place In any
.woman's club. Several questions were asked
as to the fairy i > tory and Us scope , anil
whether or not children should be told thai
Ihey are not true. In Illustration Miss Hofer
told Hans Anderson's story of a hell. And
closed her talk with : "Is It a true or a fairy
s'.ory ? " .
Miss Ilofer ypealis this afternoon and even-

AMUSEMENTS.
Kinlly Dancker and her company will close
their present engagement at Uoyd's theater
today by giving two performances , a matinee
at 2:30 : this afternoon and the regular even
Ing performance at S. The prices for the
matinee will be 2D , CO and 75 cents. The
laughable comedy , "Our Flat , " will be > the
play at both performances.
Illce's " 1492 , " which closes Its phenomc
rally successful engagement at the Crelghlon
with two performances today , the , usual matt
neo being given at 2:30 : o'clock , has playcc
to the largcpt audiences Men In Omaha In a
number of years , hundreds having ben turnei
away at the Thanksgiving performance. An
Interesting feature of the performances , to the
female patrons , al least , arc th ? costumes
which are worn by Mr. Richard Harlow am
the women , all of which are marvels of the
dressmakers' art.
Anyone acquainted with Charles A. DavlP ,
manager of the leclure tours of Robert G
Ingersell , who , by the way , will lecture on
"The Hihle" at Uoyd's new theater tomorrow
evening , need not be told why he never uses
a telephone when he can avoid It. In an
evil mome-nt Ihe other day In New York Mr.
Da vie \Mia led to break his rule of steering
clear of telephones. He was anxious tc
close Immediately an arrangement for Colonel
Ingersoll's appearance In Rochester , and ho
decided to communicate telephontcally with
John R. Pierce , manager of the Lyceum
theater. In that city. He went to the long
distance telephone at the Marlborough hotel ,
l > ad Mr. Pierce called up , and courageously
entered on the task of making his wishes
known. This column would not sufllce to
record the ensuing conversation , of which
nine-tenths consisted of repetitions of the
same consonant" . Mr. Davis has known
what It Is to have trouble with consonants ,
but on this occasion all his previous experi
ences were surpassed. Consonants stood up
in his path like perpendicular mountains.
Out patlenco and perseverance finally made
good their reputation for conquering- dim-
cullies , and al last Mr. Davis completed his
arrangements and the tebphone remained In-
tccl. Brother Davis , with a look of Ineffable
relief , came fiom the lelephone , wiped Iho
perspiration from bis brow , and offered pay
ment. The person In charge grinned and
said :
"It'll cost you $20 , sir ! "
"G g gr great S s EC Scott ! " cried
Davis. "I thought the rate was a d d < 1-
dollar and s s s seventy-five ! "
"That's for flve minutes' talk. We charge
\tra for each additional minute. "
Mr. Davis slowly brought forth a roll of
bills from au Inner pocket , and as he paid
the ? 20 he inefully murmured.
"W w w when I w w want to do
business with H r Roch Rochester again
I'lf save t t t time and m m m money
by l t laklng a t I t train ! "
Colonel Ingersoll and party will arrive from
Lincoln early tomorrow mornlnc The sale
of seats'opens this morning.
' The Boslonlans.are . said lo maintain the
standard light opera to the highest possible
degree of excellence and to discourage the
taste for clownish humor and the grotesque
of operatic performances. * Messrs. Darnabeo
and MacDonald , who control the destinies of
this company , point with considerable pride
to the list of principals engaged for this sea
son , which Includes Henry Clay Harnabeo ,
William H. MacDonald , Jes\o \ Bartlett Davis ,
Helen Bertram Henley , Kugcne Cowles ,
Gcoige Frothlnilmm , Harold Blake. Josephine
Haitlett , Jerome Sykes , C. C. Landle and
Cora Barnahee. For the engagement here the
Management lias selected "Robin Hood , " with
( s plclureaju ? background of Sherwood For
ests , Its merry outlaws In Lincoln Green , who
with yeoman bow and quartcrstavo maintain
heir royeterlng sway In the gleewood. For
'Robin Hood" will be can the full strength
of the organization , and this opera will bi
sung at Uoyd'o Monday ovcnlng and at
mallnec. On Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings Victor Herbert's opera
comlqur will be put up. "Prince Ananias"
s new here. The story of this opera Is laid
n Franco In the sixteenth century , a period
> rollflo in Its suggestions to an author. The
IbrettlRt has endeavored to get away from
he conventional comic opera story and
i eat with characters and Incidents that arc
tot huckneycd. The romantic side of the
opera is supplied by n vagabond poet
and adventurer , who falls In love
with the leading lady of n band of
trolling players , and nn outlaw falls In
eve with the daughter ot the king's cham-
> crlaln , and rli > ks his head by appearing at
he king's court , while a reward of 200 louls
H offered for hla capture. The comedy sldo
s furnished by the gloomy king of Navarre ,

course of his life , and the efforts of the
trolling playeis lo provldo an enlerlaln-
uent for him which will' make him laugh.

"The book of Job Is to mo one of the most
wonderful In the bible , " said Hon. W. J.
Hryan In his lecture delivered nt the United
I'rcsbyterlnn church last night. "I consider
It the phrase book of all ancient literature. "
Mr. Hryan added that he did not Intend to
confine himself entirely to biblical history , ns
had been tlic general Impression derived from
the short notices published , but would sup
plement It with "Our Form of Government
and the Ills that Infest It. "
"If the belief In Immortality Is a delusion ,
It Is the sweetest delusion that over existed
In the minds of humanity. " The speaker
then contrasted the sublime fortitude with
which Job met all Ills of the flesh , his un
broken faith with God , with the easy shifting
frame of mind of some modern people.
Colonel Ingersoll , In his lecture on "Sul-
slde , " had at last acknowledged that he did
not deny there waa a God or an eternity ,
but that ho lacked proof of their existence ,
therefore ho did not know. Mr. liryan
thought this a concession to the religion that
Job professed , as well as one. to all those
that followed Christ , as Ingersoll was evi
dently at last compelled to confess tliat he
was In the dark , while the Christians still
had the great light to which they had always
looked forward ,
The Lord had said that Job's "latter days
would bcbapplcr than his former. " Mr. Bryan
thought tuis'wmild apply very closely to th ?
lart few years of the national government
and also In the future. The republican forpi
of government hart proved Itejlf to bo thus
far the nearest to perfect over devised. It
had survived the test placed upon It by the
great war brought about by slavery. The
Declaration of Independence had said that
all men were created equal , and the great
and good men who had so wisely framed
It , had they lived to see the present day ,
would have witnessed an overwhelming-
firmation. The fundamental principle of the
American government which had made It
successful , where others had been lacking ,
was that the majority ruled while In the
monarchic ; ) of the continental countries tlu
minority had been given precedence.
Mr. Bryan then took up the subject of
government. He stated that a congressman
sometimes bscame lax In his duties while
away from homo attending a session of the
house. The roll call on Important bills was
proof of this , and was Instituted In order
to compel the member to employ his mind
with subjects In hand. The slate representa
tives were far more conscientious In the
performance of their duties , for they
were directly under the eye of the people.
For this reason the speaker averred that
all public onlcers should bo the direct choice
of the people.
The initiative and referendum principle
which was worked so perfectly In Switzer
land Mr. Bryan strongly advocated for use
n this country. When a proposition for anew
now law arose In that country It was first
framed by the officers , and then submitted
: o the people. If approved by them It went
.o the legislative houses and did not come
nto force until passed by both. Local laws
should bo always made by the people. They
were the best judges .of what best suited
their needs , nud any body of men In another
icrtlon of the country should not be ein-
loweied to Interfere.
Mr. Bryan briefly outlined the present
form of government In the United States and
pointed out some of Its weaknesses. He
contended that senators should be elected by
direct vote , as well as)1 ( ) of the other
elective ofllcers. Senators" were only human
and liable to bribery , as well as Iho smaller
vessels. Mr. Bryan believes a president
should servo but one term.
"I would like to think that when a man
elected to the bench/ ' said the speaker ,
'the transition takes away all bias , but I am
afraid It does not. " For this reason , he
thought all federal judges should be the.
choice of the people , and not possibly of
some powsrful corporation , ns appeared to ba
very much In evidence In some cases.
The wife of Mr. Leonard Wells of East
Brlmfleld , Mass. , had been suffering from
neuralgia for two days , not being able to
sleep or hardly keep still , when Mr. Holden ,
: he merchant there , sent for a bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm , and asked that
she give It a thorough trial. On meeting Mr.
Wells the next day he was told that she. was
all right , the pain had left her within two
lours , and that the bottle of Pain Balm was
vortli $5.00 If It could not be had for less.

The Board of Park > Oommlttloni > r held .1
short meeting yesterday Afternoon' , at which
the only business of Importance that was
considered w o the iu < .itlon of whether the
board could afford la keep Hunpcom park
In condition for skating during the winter.
Mr. nedflehl said th.U he was unwilling to
deprive the > public of a popular recreation ,
but It looked to him a * though the finances
of the board were not in a condltlc : to justify
the exprnse , especially If the leu In Miller
and Klvervlew parks -should freeze In good
condition. President Tukcy nnd Superintendent -
ent Adams were of the opinion that the
lUnscom park skating should bo preserved
undr any circumstances. They declared that
the skating drew more people to the park
In the winter than were usually there In the
summer season , and nothing could Justify
the board In neglecting to kop the lake
filled and the Ice In good condition. The mat
ter was dually referred to a committee , with
out Instruction.
The committee , on Judiciary was directed
to recommend some more definite rules to
govern the employment of special policemen
and other employes.
The contractors who are drilling the ar-
to9in ! well In KUnwood park have struck a
wiag. At a depth of sixty feet the drill came
In contact with a cednr stump , which caused
a deflection and compelled them to begin
at a new point. The stump was perfectly
preserved and showed that It had been par
tially burned. It Is evidently a relic of an
early Nebraska forest which was burned oft
by the savage Inhabitants centuries ngo , and
was hurled under successive accumulatlono
of earth until It reached Its present location ,
sixty feet below the surface.
The lake In lllvervlew park Is gradually
filling , and as the soil becomes more thor
oughly soalte.l the leakage Is less apparent.
The water has risen about six Inches In the
laat ten days , and It ls expected that the
lake will furnlE'h excellent skating later In
the season.

explained the difficulty of Irrigation In the
western part of the .state , the sandy char

tion making It almost Impossible to store
water In the reservoirs. The professor
then , by a splendid. ' series of stereoptlcon
views , displayed somn'of the fossils that have
been found in Nebraska and on the borders
of the state. The collodion Included every
thing from the lizard family to the slzo of
elephants , to the huge birds that lived In this
country In some remote ago and had teeth
like a reptile and were as big as cattle.
Then followed a description , liberally Illus
trated , of trips made by the geological parties
from the State university to the bad
lands of South Dakota. All of the wonderful
physical phenomena of that wild country
were presented from photographs taken by
the party and the geological peculiarities and
wonders of the country explained.

They Cure the Cause-
Most of the discomfort in lifo
conies from the stomach. You'll
admit that without argument. The
proof is in your own stomach.
A great many seemingly different
diseases come from the common
cause a disordered stomach. Com T
ing from one cause , it is natural
that they should all be cured by one Tj
medicine. Ripans Tabules not only j
cure the disease they cure the
cause.
