Council Bluffs home tal.nt has scared an
other success In th field of light opjra
The performance of Gilbert & Sullivan's
opera. "The Mikado , " was In no respect
lets commendable and In some respects
moro satisfactory than that of "Powhatan , "
two months ago. The aucllenc ? greeted Ihc
tuneful melodies of the opera like old
friends , and wherever there were any short
comings they were overlooked , as such thing ?
always are- where home Thespians tread the
Lonrds , The applause was liberally bestowed
nnd the audience and players were on good
terms from opening chorus to grand finale.
Mrs. Robert MnllN played the part of
Kntlslm a thankless task when In the
hands of a professional actress , for no one
usually hit any real amount of sympathy
for the love-lorn of 10 or th roibouts who
IB determined to wed poqr Nonkl-Poo at
the ejcpenkc of fair Vum-Yum's eternal hap-
plt.ess. But Mrs. Mullls Invested th part
with a grotesque humor which was undoubt
edly one of th ? strongest features of the
performance She alto exploded the theory
that n Katlshn mutt of necessity be fat
If Ko-Ko's arm had had more trouble In
spanning her waist the situation might have
betn a trlfio more laughable , and yet there
was no doubt of It , the audience could not
help ndm'rlng Nankl-Poo's choice.
MUs Zena Lingo mailo an excellent Yum-
Yum. Her dainty figure fitted the port wsll ,
anl she showed great appreciation of the
humor of the lines. In the love scene with
Naiikl-Poo , who vus gracefully represented
by Frank Chamberlln , the audlenc ; certainly
thought It detected n blush which could not
be concealed behind Its vtll of stage cos
metics. Miss Bfssle S'.cwart as Plttl-Slng
could hardly have been Improved upon. Miss
Belle Snyder played the pirt of Peep-Boo.
Mr. Hnkei's Ko-Ko showed considerable
stage exptrlcnce , nnd when It Is remem
bered that In addition to nnnlpulatlng
his part he was manipulating th
orchestra , chorus and dancers , his perform
ance is little short of wonderful. E. S.
Allen played the masslvo part of Pooh-Bah ,
the gentleman whoixs spinal column had not
bent even under the combined weight of all
the offices nnd the'r emoluments In the town
of Tltlpu. He had all the dignity there waa
In town. Perry Badollet as Plsh-Tush and
W S. Hlgdon as Nee-Ban had small par's ,
but made out of them all the fun ther ? was
In them. C. B. Altchlson was the Mikado.
Ills make-up waa excellent , and he seemed
built from the ground up for a king of sjms-
thlng or other. The song In which he t'lls
of his efforts "to make the punishment fit
the crime" contaln'd a number of verses
not to bs found In the. original. He left one
pclnt In doubt , upon which the audience
would no doubt have been glad to have been
enlightened , and that was what sort of
punishment had been dcvlfed for the man
who wrote th ? words to that song The fol
lowing verse shows the seriousness of the
offense :
Some Irresponsible newspaper men nre fond
of roasting their friends ,
Because n dearth of ads iKIr "ensof
propilety offends :
All such are stuffed with oyster shell ?
and in nn oven laid ,
To lonst' nml simmer until their victim *
nil their debts have paid

A cat o ] nine tails with his fsct In the

The chorus did some very crelltable work ,
the male numbers being especially good.
The dances captured the eyes of young and
old alike. The garland dance , by eight
graceful young ladles , was exceedingly ef
fective , while the little Jap boys and the
little girls who danced "La Clcola" were
heartily applauded for their good work.
The only criticism that need be made
applies equally well to the chorus and two
or tnres of the principals Their enunciation
was none too clear and some of Mr. Gllbeit's
happiest Jilts were lost to all but the wings
und files But as this Fame thing Is done by
professionals every day , and as most of the
audience was familiar enough with the li
bretto to know pretty well what was going
on , no particular damage was done. The fol
lowing Is a list of the young people who
took part In the presentation of the opera-

The meeting of the Southwestern loua
Horticultural society began yesterday after
noon at the superior court room of the
county court house. M. 0 Edwards cf Glen-
wood presided , and O. H. Van Houten of
Lenox ac'ed as secretary. There was a fair
attendance. Several papers were read. L. 0.
Williams dlpcuj.'cil "Somo Lessons from the
Drouth , " and a paper written by Prof. J. L.
Iludd of Ames on the subject "After the
Drouth , " was read. One of the most Inter-
est'ng subjects was that of "Hillside Irriga
tion , " J. P. Hess opening the discussion. He
said he had watched with Interest the at
tempts made by Mr. Avery In this city to put
In an Irrigation plant , but It was not a suc-
ce s. Several others had entered Into the
scheme about the same time as Avery , but
rene of them hnd their first enthusiasm.
The soil Is so porous that It would take all
the resources of the Missouri river to supply
It with water enough to do any real good.
The fruit which Avery Irrigated was no bet
ter , so far as could be seen , than what had
been left for the elements to take care of.
Strawberries alone , he thought , might b ?
benefited by this plan.
Mr. Kcellne of Council Blurfn. Alexander
Wood of Council Bluffs and U. D McOeqhon
of Atlantic coincide with hip views * , saying
that Irrigation on a hillside had n tendency
to wash the soil away from the roots. Mr.
MqOeehon thought that a plan of sub-lrrlgu-
tlou might prove profitable by running a
two-Inch drain of tiling under the rows anil
run water through It. The moisture * would
thus be drawn up by the coll.
L. S. Axtcll , one of the oldest man present ,
and a striking figure , brought out an Idea
that provoked some dispute. "I am no' nn
alarmist , " said he , "but the fact Is wo haw
changed the conditions of the country during
the last thirty or forty years by our cultiva
tion of the soil. In 1856 all th ? sloughs wire
full , the hills were to wet you could not ride
over them , and were covered with a. mass of
follagci Now the permanent moisture has
settled away , and th ? hills nn dry and bare.
The lowest sloughs are dry enough PO they
were used fer raising corn last summer. The
whole- northern part of Iowa used to be a
tract of wet land , now It is dry. U Is a well
known fact that no more rain can com ; down
by precipitation thpt has gone up by evapora
tion. We have destroyed thousands of acres
of woodland , und have put an end to the
frequent showers and the heavy summer
dews. As a result we must expect more fre
quently recurring dry seasons , and we must
prepare against seasons of drouth hy sub-
soiling and cultivating water supplies end
forests. "
Rev. Q. G. Rice had about as many y ears
of early life In Council Bluffs to his credit
as any one present , and combaltcd this
view. In ISbO , he said , there was no rain
from one summer to the next. From here
to SIcux City the country was a mass of
glass as high as a man's head. He thought
that there are now ten times AS many trass
as there were in Iowa thirty-five years age.
In the 60s ho could travel from Council
DIuffs to Omaha and never see a trie In
riding from Council Bluffs to Glenwood he
could see entirely over the country which
la now hidden with forests. He ( Irmly bo-
1 eved that the people of Iowa would very
soon pee a succession of rainy seasons that
would put an end to all fsar lest the great
American desert should bo planning to come
over to the east bank of the Missouri and
t'jttlo down.
There were several other members of the
society who seconded Mr. Rice's view , and
one of them advanced the theory that if
a careful computation should be male It
would be found that Iowa lud lost more by-
vet seasons than by dry ones.
An evening session was held at which
quite a large number were present , drawn
by the attiactlveness of the program whih
was announcsd yesterday. The exhlb'tlon of
fruit and vegetables in the Elsenun building
attracted much attention. There Is an m-
t-restlng program for today's sessions.

Yesterday being a story-telling day , Amos
Cummlngs related one , hays the Washington
Post :
"It may servo to throw a side light on
the construction and origin of some of the
sentimental , as well as tenderly religious
articles wo sometime ! ) see , " said Cummlngf
"It was when I worked on the Evening Sun.
Jim I will call him Jim was a crack newR-
papci man , But with a strong appstlto for
liquor and a bent to bo prodigal , Jim never
had any money. One day ho cune up to me
as I sat working at my desk.
" 'Got any money , Amos ? ' said Jim.
" 'No ; why1
. " 'I want to borrow t ° n. '
" 'Well , I can't lend you , ' I said , 'fqr I
haven't a dollar In my pocket. '
" 'If you had $10 , Amos , would you lend
It to me ? ' remarked Jim guilefully ,
" 'Yes , ' I said , after xtudlng profoundly
for a moment , 'I believe I would. But a ?
I haven't ten , what difference does It
mak ? ? '
" 'Go to the business office and get an
advance , ' said Jim.
"But I explained to my persistent friend
that I wouldn't go near the business ofllce
for any such purpobe.
" 'U would queer me , ' I said , 'with ths
management , and I won't do It. '
" 'You go to ths devil , ' retorted Jim In
dignantly , and walked away.
"That evening I met Jim very much In
toxicated. He had laid aside all Irritation
toward mo. In far. , he was effusive and
friendly ,
" 'Come Into Benson's , Amos , and take a
drink with me , ' urged Jim , seizing mo by
the hand with as much fervor as if I had
been his long-lost brother ,
" 'Where did you get your money , Jlui ? '
I asked.
" 'Oh , ' responded Jim , with a thick care-
lessncss born of drink and a happy nature ,
'I jerked loose a religious poem and sold
It to the Indipendent for a saw-buck. It
ain't no trouble for a man of genlusli to
make a ra'sej 'specially when he's inshplred
by a twD-days' thirst. ' "

Major Thomng Q. Farquhar icf Annlston
Ala. , on a visit to Buffalo j-icfrhtly , told an
'
Express reporter a humorwm 'tory of the
war. During the siege of Vlcktfburg he was
In command of i confederate'rr'glment out
side of General Grant's lines "Wo had
plenty of food. " he said. " 11 tfas a fertile
territory that we had to draw from , and
there was no dlfllcul.y In getting enough to
eat. W Intercepted a poorl ) guarded supplv
train of the Yanks , and had dlough to feet
a regiment for a month stored right In our
little Mm p. In spite of the Yankee vigilance
spies would now and then "steal out of the
city , and we saw and talk'd with several o
them. Each had a pitiful story to tell how
the Inhabitants of Vlcksburg suffered for
food , and we ransacked our brains to dovlso
some means of sindlng them a portion of our
plerty.
"An old negro , who was acting as a gunnc :
under me , was th * one to suggest what lookec
at first Ilk ; a feasible plan. His Idea was to
load supplies Into the four cannon wh'cl
wu had , and fire them boldly over the heads
of the Yankees Into the city Itself. H was
a great Idea , and aftir some study It was
decided that U was worth while making the
experiment. The supplies which we had cap
tured consisted of hard tack In tins , that
would go Into the guns like graporhot , and we
calculated that by giving them plenty o
devatlon we couH send the food directly Into
the city , where even such morsels would b :
welcome. I was In command of the detach
ment , and give my consent to what an older
and more experienced officer would probablv
have frowned upon as being contrary to al
rules of war.
"Next morning at sunrise we loidid the
guns. We put a plentiful charge of powder
In each , and then rammed home as man !

Its first performance on'thg night cf June

Proas. It v/as the first native theatrical
company ever seen In this country cast of
the Rocky mountains. U consisted of twen
ty-five performers , Including four principal
actors and an orchestra of four musicians
The company had great difficulty In securing
a theater , but finally obtained the Ljceum ,
on Vine stroat , below Eighth. At 6-30 on
the evening of the 3d of June the entire
Chinese population of Philadelphia were on
their way to purchase tickets at the box.
office and soon the little theater was crowded
almost to overflowing.
The audience womed rath ° r uncomfortable
at first In the absence of the usual venders
of watermelon seeds and sweetmeats , to which
they had been accustomed at horn3 , but with
the aid of pipes and tobacco , a qtusl-Orlental
atmosphere was created , even before the
property men had completed th5 arrange
ments of the stage , in which work they were
engaged In full view of the audience.
The door on the right was used for cn-
trancj and that on the left for exit.
Both were hung with beautiful embroid

suspended on the wall. On the stage
wcra wocxen chairs and tables , with an
umbrella of state also draped with em
broidery. High seats for the musicians ,
above which hung the queer looking Instru
ments' ' , were placed In the background. At
7:30 : four men took their places and an
nounced the beginning of the play. The
drama was a historic one , dating about
twenty centuries back , and the Chinese court
with a warring king and his retainers formed
the dramatis personae. The scenes were
changed occasionally by the black-robed
property men , who were supposed to ba In
visible. When required , they would present a
little green label , telling of the place of ac
tion. At one time all the chairs and tables
were heaped together to represent the KI

The actors made their appearance from be
hind the curtain doors amid a volley of drum
taps , fierce blasts on the clarlonsttes nnd the
clash of cymbals , which continued throughout
the play. The players first prostrated themselves -

\cr > monotonous session last night. The
grist of business was exceptionally light ,
but the members uceeeded In Interjecting
enough oratorical extras to prolong the ses-
tlon to the usual hour of adjournment.
Seven banks ptejcnted bids for the deposits
of the city money during 189(5. ( They arc
the National Bank of Commerce , Nebraska
National , Union National , Commercial Na-
tlcnal , United States National , Merchants'

evident that the'o was no lack of an under *
standing among the bidders , as the bid
was 2 per cent p'r annum on dullv
balance In each case. The bids were referrci
to the finance committee.
The following resolutions by Taj lor wer

The ordinance providing for the opening o
a Urcet along Saddle creek was rexwmmomlei
by the committee. Sounders objected on the
ground that the proposed plan of a ° 3essmen
was not Just , and Mercer urged that It wn
tlm that some action was taken and detnllei
the advantages that would accrue from the
proposed Improvement. The discussion de
veloped Into a prolonged debate. liowvl
supported Saundere , and City Engine' ! Rose
water spoke at some length. He showed tha
several thousands of dollars had already beet
expended In appraisers' fees on the Improve
ment. The engineering department had spen
six we ks In preparing the plan of assess
ment , nnd If the matter was dolaved another
year this would all be a dead IOE . Thet
Mercer , Howell and Snunders took tutas
at speechmaklng , until the recent Ccrbctt
Fltzs.mmons talking match was totolb
eclipsed. Several members went to sleep
and even the lobby showed evidence of dls
gust. Then the committee report was adoptee
by 11 to 7. The board of equaliza
tlon will meet December 27 , to hear pro
tests against the plan of assessment.
The contract for furnishing horse feed fo
1S96 was awarded to James St'phenton. The

Tlis committee on pollcs submitted a rcpor
of Its special Investigation Into the methods
of the garbage contractor relative to the
removal of dead animals.
The contractor's bill for Novembai
amounted to if5C 25 The bill was certified
to under oath and was accompanied by the
usual Itemized rep'oit of the animals re
moved. This list had been turneJ over to
Chief of Police SIgwart , who had detailed
Mounted Officers Byrnes and Edghlll to in
vestigate The reports of the officers indi
cated that there was something radical ! )
wrong in the present system. The officers
succeeded In verifying the list of horses
and cows removed , but out of 205 smaller
animals reported onlj thirty-nine could be
located. In one case the contractor charged
the city 75 cents for taking a duid dog from
a cigar store at Eleventh and Farnam
streets. The owner declared that he paid the
contractor himself at the time. Two hogs
were removed from Second and Pacific
streets and Hie Item was charged up twice.
A resident at 1111 South Seventh street took
three dogs to the dump lilrmelf , but the
contractor charged the city for the service.
These were the principal facts brought out
and on recommendation of the committee
the bill was referred back to the Board of
Health and the chief of police for further
Investigation.
