The mandamus suit Instituted by George
W. Doane to compel the payment of $235 $ an
attorney's fees for prosecuting the market
house Injunction case In the supreme court
threatens to spread out Into legal proceeding ! . '
In which the e'.atus of the park board Itself
It to bo determined. The tlty attorney , on
behalf cf the council , Is preparing to fight
the case on the ground that the park board
has no valid or legal existence and that any
appointments It makes outside ot Its own offi
cers arc unconstitutional and Invalid.
Mr. Donne's application for the writ of
mandamus came up before Judge Ambrose
Monday afternoon , and on the showing that
wai made In affidavits he Issued a peremp
tory writ , or , rather , two of them. One com
manded the finance committee of the city
council to Incorporate ths rejected claim' of
J215 In the appropriation sheet for November
nnil the other commanded the council to allow
the claim. December 18 was fixed ns the
date on which tli2 writs were retutnable and
on which the councllmen were to appear In
court and show why they had not obeyed the
command.
1 As soon 01 the writs wore served members
! of the finance committee took steps to fight
the case , and yesterday went Into consul
tation with City Attorney Council. The re-
oult of the deliberation was the drafting of n
motion , asking the court to modify the per
emptory writ so that the order wxuld be alter
native. It was also at'kcd that more time bs
given the councilmcn In > vhlch to make
answer to the writ.
BOARD WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
*
A number of reasons are advanced In sup
port of the motion. The principal onas
attack the legality of the board and the con
stitutionality of Its appointments. They
are as follows :
That the so-called Board of Park Commlb-
slonerR referred to In said proceedings has
no valid or legal existence ; that the law
purporting to authorize the appointment of
said Board qf Park Commissioners by the
Judges of the district court , and by whom the
present members of said boird were ap
pointed , Is unconstitutional and void ; that
neither under said law , or nny existing law
has 'he ' Board of Park Commissioners any
right ui lawful authority to employ any at
torney , hut the authority of said beard Is
limited ircrcly to the employment of a secre
tary , la'iilrcapj gardeners , superintendents ,
engineer ? , keepers , assistants and labotcrs
us may \is \ necessary for tha proper earn and
malntenoncj of parks , parkways and boule
vards and the Improvement and beautifying
thereof to the extent that funds may be pro
vided for that purpose ; that tne action of
wild defendants In allowinc ; or approving the
claim of sa111 relater and Including the t > nmc
In an appropriation ordinance and the voting
for said ordinance Including BIIPM Item , each
and all Involved the exercisu of Judicial and
legislative discretion on the part of said
defendants and each of them , and the simo
Is not subject to control by ths court ? .
It Is also stated that no demand was made
en either the finance committee , or the coun
cil to psrform the nllged duty of paying
the fee bforo the Irauanco of the writ of
mandamus , as Is required by and declared
necessary by the supreme court. It is held
that the statements made In the petition
and affidavits ars not In accordanca with
the ficts and that a number nf them are
denied by the councllmen. Even If they
were true It is allied that they do not con
stitute sufficient grounds for the p.remptory
writ. It Is alleged that byUhe order of the
courts the colmcllmsn were prevented from
hiving a hearing , which It U held Is con
trary to the constitution and the laws of ths
state , inasmuch as the question Is over con
tested and disputed facts.
City Attorney Council announces that he
Is confident of a victory. He says that by
the granting of the writ Judge Ambrose has
contradicted n ruling he inado In the canal
case , by which ho held that the pirk board
had no authority to make appointments.
.MODIFIED WRIT GRANTED.
The hearing on the application of the city
council for a modification cf the writ was
had btfore Judge Ambrose at 2 o'clock yet > -
tcrday afternoon. At the close of arguments
the mollification asked for was granted and
the final healing was 6t for TuesJay , De-
camber 21.
In support of the petition City Attorney
Cornell nrgtud that the facts as stated
In the petition upon which the writ of man
damus was IssueJ were entirely misleading.
The financf- committee had never declaicd
that it would not allow the Item for Judge
Dosne's fee , but had simply retained the
bill pending an Investigation which had not
been cnmpie'cd , As a matter of fict the
fen hnd not yet been earned , as tlio case
had not been decide ! by the supreme court ,
and It was expected that there would b3 a
hearing by argument when the case was
reached. Ho also attacked the bill of $35
for expenses , which he declared was exces
sive , lie held that It would be a manifest
Injustice to enforce the peremptory writ un
til the members of the council had had n
day In court and an oppoitunlty to show that
the facts as stated In Judge Doanu's pe
tition were not correct.
Judge Dcanc contended that on the faro
of proceedings It was evident that the
council was not acting In good faith , There
were proofs before the court which showtd
that the council had not only knew of the
contract which was made with hlimelt by
the Board of Park Commissioners , but also
approve ! that contract. It had recognl/ed
the fact that the servlc's contemplated In
that contract had ben perfoimcd by paying
the first Installment of the fee. But In the
mcMitlino there was an election , and It to
happeird that he was unfortunate enough
to bo on the u'do of an organization tlut
pioposed to ( .hungo the complexion of the
city council. Consequently when the Item
had been nppioved by the park board It
was utruck out by the finance commlttfo
on the plei that the city had on attorney
who should have been called on to attend
to the case. The speaker stated that this
pietext was an absurdity when It was a fact
that the city was the defendant in the oise
In question and the city attorney was the
counsel In opposition to the park board.
In granting the modification of the wilt
JuCge AmbioFO statctl that this was merely
to establish the question of fact which hud
bcui laleed by tha clly. If the services had
been performed no chime 1 In the petition of
Jtdge Doane It was mandatory on the coun
cil to liilflll Its part of the contract , and
he. should t.o decide. But If It was shown
that the services had not' been porfornud
he bhould deny the application for the wr't
of inandamui. Ho then set the date for
hearing.

AMUSEMENTS.
The popular actor , Clay Clement , whose
artistic character acting In his latest suc
cess , "The New Dominion , " has recclvsd
much favorable notice , will open a three-
n'ght ' engagement at the Crelghton , com
mercing ThurfUay , December 19 , presenting
his successful play to an Omaha audience
for the llrst time.
The nature of Mr. Clement's work cannot
be appreciated by those who have not wit-
ntfNtd It , as his characterization of Haron
Hohenetauffen Is said to be entirely new
to the stage , being free frcm the ordinary
"wooden shoe" work which Is usually con
nected with German comedy ,
"The Fast Mall" closes Its engagement
at the Crelghlon with two performances
tod.t > , the usual matinee being given at
2:30. :
"The War of Wealth" Is one of the great
successes of the tcason. It Is on American
cptredy-drama , written by C. F. Dazey ,
the author of "In Old Kentucky. " Manager
I.ltt has spent a great , dcil of money In
providing It with elaborate tctnory , and It
Is admitted to be one of the most pictur
esque productions of an American play given
In this country. It will bo setn nt Hoyd's
Friday , Saturdiy and Sunday evenings.
The play wan tried In Philadelphia , Pitts-
burg , St. Louis and Chicago , and scored a
great success. It his been put out upon a
vciy elaborate scale this season and with
a Etrong cast will doubtless repeat Its suc
cess. It Is spoken of as a Mgorous drama
of situation and strong heart Interest , true
In Its icllectlong of llfe > and ndmlrahlp 'n
Its treatment of a theme that has not been
worn threadbare by the dramatists of to
day. It Is said to be swift In action , crisp
In dialogue , and to present a number of
skillfully drawn and striking characters , and
Is acry big scenic proluctlon as well.
Leon Margullos , manager of the Dam-
rosch Opera company , wires to Manager
Haynes that the report which has besn given
circulation here by Iricaponslble partlea that
nil the principals of the company will ap-
licar nt Bnjd's theater during the forthcom
ing Omalu engagement. His exact words
aie : "Report absurd ; will bring entire com-
l > : < ny of 200 , Including all the principals. "
The sale of season tickets will continue
through the wek at Mejer's music store.
The demand has been giatltylnsly largj , and
every thing points to the financial success
of tills notable undertaking.
FiMnk Mayo has escaped from "Davy
Crockett. " The loophole through which IIP
lias returned to artistic freedom is the title
role In his own dramatisation of Mark
Twain's "Pudd'nhead Wilson. " For many
ycais Mr. Mayo as nn ac'or has been under
the burden of a great success , "Davy Crock
ett. "
The part of "I'udd'nhcad" Is cast In a
mold so different that It will surely thrust
"Davy" Into oblivion. Mr. Majo's "Ptidd'n-
liead Wilson" Is a sub'Ic , delicate piece of
character work and Is sure to bring him
new fame. This attraction comes to the
Crelghton for three nights , commencing
Thursday , December 2C.
The Chtlstmas attract'on nt Bo > d'a theater ,
opening Monday , December 22 , will be Jacob
Lilt's play , "In Old Ken'ucky. " This enter
taining domestic story , embellished by nnny
strikingly novel features and faithful scenic
pictures. Is familiar to every theater-goer In
Dmaha , and. In fact , has been honored on
pi lor visits by the largest patronage ever ac
corded a similar production In Omaha. The
now famous pickaninny scene baa beeji
widely copied Elnce the advent of "In Old
Kentucky. " but It Is claimed for this par
ticular band of little darkles that they form
part and parcel of the play , and are there
fore the only'stage pickaninnies whose antics
and musical efforts have any dramatic

One ot the most enjoyable programs of the
year was presented at the Woman's club
Monday afternoon to a smaller house than
usually assembles on such occasions.
After ronio routine business had been dis
posed cf , on Mrs. Powell's motion the chair
appointed Mrs. Peattle , Mrs. Keysor and
Mrs. Heller as a committee to devise a
plan f'r helping the Farnam street union dept
project.
Mrs. Ford then presented to the club n
recommendation of the directory. H was
that the club should pay to the university
extcntlon committee $25lilch should pro
cure to all club members the admission to the
last of Prof. Bessey's lecturee. The sub
ject of the lecture Is "The Flowers of Ne
braska and How They Ars Fertilized. " Mrs.
Ford moved the acceptance of this recom
mendation.
Mrs. Frank Cross , one of the club's chartc ;
members , who has been In the cast for tin
past year , gave a brief account of the club :
Into which her Omaha club visiting can :
had admitted her. She says every New
England village has at least one club , and
most of them more than one. In their clubo
at least one-half of the programs arc
furnished by outside talent. But there Is
much freedom In discussion , and the speakers
are piled with questions. The Chicago
Woman's club , after hearing Dr. Sarn
Hacked Stevenson read a witty paper on
"Disadvantage of Being Civilized , " was con
\lnced that the disadvantages were para
mount. Harriet Hosnicr , who was n gucsl
of the club on tha same day , expressed her
as It' as of the same opinion. Mrs. Cross snyc
the cordiality extended to guests Is one o
the most noticeable and certainly ono cl
the most pleasant features cf these easten
clubs ) . She advises every woman contem
plating a sojourn from homo to arm hcr-
srlf with nn Introducing card.
Mm Tracy announced that Prof. Bessy
would make a short address on "Current
Scientific Literature" before the Curren
literature department. Parliamentary practice
clns- ; will hereifler meet at 2:30 : on the
Monday alternating with the club. Psychol
ogy will meet ne\t Monday nt 4 p. m
Department of applied economics will here
after meet once a inonth ; first meeting Jan
uary 4 , 1S9G , at 10:30 : a. m.
Aftsr the usual recc s Mrs. Harford , who
had charge of the afternoon program , tool' '
the chair.
The program opened with a song by Mrs.
Erkhart , "And There Were Sheplurds. " This
beautiful Christmas music was followed by
a paper on "Christmas In Song , " by Mrs.
Emma C. Gorden. Mrs. Gorden traced the
growth of Chilstmas song from that first
glad peal of angels' voices down through
majestic measure of Milton to the merry
carols of holly and yule , and through tlic
later hjmns and songs to the familiar
" 'Twa the Night Before Christmas. "
Mrs. Ella W. Peattle , who was heartily
cheered as she came before the club , aftci
an absence of several welts , read nn ex
quisite bit of original fiction entitled
"Christmas at Goldsburg. " It Is n story of
Germany during the plague of the Fifteenth
century. One little boy , only survivor of a
family , sits by the desolated hiarUi. Ho
falls asleep , to bo awakeneJ by the cold wind ,
which , unmindful of the king's edict , has ,
torn open the shutter. The stars outside
shine. "Ah , " he remembers , "now It Is
Christmas ! " A bright star beckons ! He
plunges througli the window Into the air anil
shouts a Christmas hymn. It is echoed again
and again. The song reaches the poor king's
heart. He se ks the singer and the plague
has lifted ere the stars fade.
"Thoughts on the Christ Child In Art" was
the hiibject of Mrs. Keysor's paper. Her
opening sentence , "In considering any promi
nent force In history , llie greatest Interest to
the student lies in tracing Its origin , the
conditions of Its Influcnc ? , and above all the
influence which it has had on subsequent
historical events , " Is an excellent Introduc
tion to the manner In which the theme was
treated. After noting the place the child had
occupied In history before the Christian era ,
Mrs. Keysor advanced the Idea that the
sentiment that found expression In the lit
erature and art concerning the Christ child
was the culmination and satisfaction of man's
IIIml groping for the true , the beautiful , the
perfect. "Whether or not this bo true , " s
said , "the fact remains that moro luminous
light than ever bcforu shone on the paths of
men. A power had come among men , as
poothlng ns an April shower , yet more potent
than the forked lightning th.it sunders the.
storm cloud of the July sky. " In speaking of
I'ne results of the devotion of the childhood
which followed In the wake of Christian
thought Mrs. Keysor said children had be-en
rescued from their former owners and had
come to bo considered , as they are , a distinct
of the great human family , with needs , priv
ileges and lights peculiar to themselves.
A conversation was had on the topic "Do
Prevalent Methods of Observing Christmas
Bring Into Prominence the Real Christmas
Jdtn ? " A number of women spoke. expressIng -
Ing different Ideas as to gift giving , charities ,
Santa Clans , no Santa Claus , etc. , until the
hour of departure struck.
A noticeable * and practical feature of the
afternoon was the presence of needlework In
the hands of fDvcral of the audience. Christ
mas candy bags , drawn work , embroidery
and ono good old-fashioned stockln' to bo
footed ! were observed.

Captain Deck , U. S.feA. , last evening nd-
tlrwsctl n largo ntidlcnc * at the First Meth
odist Episcopal church ! in the stntus of the
American Indian ot."today. His experience
an. an officer of the Kovcrnmcnt , extendltiR
o\er twenty-elRht yonrc , nnd Including ninny
thrilling experiences an the frontier , us
well ns personal contact nlth the chiefs ot
many tribes , gave to the address nn addi
tional Interest niiu value , and secured for
the speaker the rapt attmtlon of his auditors.
The general results of Indian education
have not been satisfactory. This Is because
no place Is provided for the graduate of the
Indian school after his or her return to the
tribe. The Indian boy comes home from
Carlisle or Hampton , only to return to the
life of his fathers. The corn dance , the war
dance , and even the forbidden sun dance ,
may be seen today , and In the drunken revel
ries may be found the young girls \\lio have
rcceUed an excellent academic education.
"IJut we should not bo discouraged , " eild
Captain Deck. "The education of the masses
Is nluays n slow process. When we allow
for the Influences of heredity , we may think
that It will not take longer for the Indians
to reach the higher plane of civilization than
It has other peoples. "
Captain Deck emphatically denounced the
"riff-raft cf the \\hltes" who hang around
th ? borders of reservations In order to sell
alcohol to the Indian and then secure his
mark on n paper signing away his land. He
said : "The burning desire of the white people
ple from northwest to southeast Is to ob
tain the Indians' lands. It Is the people
who covtt these lands who raise the cry
'Tho Indian Is n cltlrcn of the United States
and must be allowed to do as ho pleases
with Ilia land. ' The reason It Is so illlIlcuH
to protect the Indian lands from the grasp
ing , greedy white Is because there hai been
no settled policy In denting ; -with the In
dians. There has been no persistent effort
looking toward the civilization of the Indian.
About the time on ? policy begins to work
well a new bill Is passed and the work must
bs begun all over again.
"When the present generation of the In
dian , the link between the old and the new
type , passes nway then will the education of
ths Indian bo more effective. I do not be
lieve In the Indiscriminate distribution of
hmls among all the Indians. I would edu
cate the Indian and then pay to him : 'Hero's
a piece of farm land ; take it , till It and
compote with the \\hlto man.1 I would not
give land to the uneducated. If you give the
uneducated Indian land In the spring tlio
snows of the next VvInter will find him with
out shelter. I understand there Is to be
some legislation In the present congress
likely to Interfere with the work uf civiliz
ing the Indian , due probably to the- influ
ence of the covetous white tillers of the
soil. I pray you voters to uss your 1 ; flu-
cnce with jour representatives for the led
men et Nebraska. When they are t'irown
out among the whiles and given land In fee
simple they are gone , pitifully and sorrow
fully gone. " _
