The mandamus milt Instituted by Ocorg
TV. Doane to compel the payment of | 235 n
attorney's fees for prosecuting the markc
hoiiBo Injunction case In the supreme cour
threatens to spread out Into legal proceeding
In which the flatus of the park board Itsel
It to bo determined. The city attorney , on
behalf cf the council , la preparing to flgh
the case on the ground that the park bean
has no valid or legal existence and that any
appointments It makes outside of Its own off !
corn are unconstitutional and Invalid ,
Mr. Doane's application for the writ o
mandamus came up before Judge Ambrose
Monday afternoon , and on the phowltiK tha
was made In affidavits he Issued a peremp
lory writ , or , rather , two of them. One com
mandcd the finance committee of the city
council to Incorporate ths rejected claim * o
$23."i In the appropriation sheet for November
mid the other commanded the council to allow
the claim. December 18 was fixed as tin
date on which ths writs were returnable amen
on which the councllmcn were to appear li
courl nnd show why they had not obeyed the
command.
As soon as tlm wrltu were served members
of the finance committee took steps tt > fish
the case , and yesterday went Into consul
tatlon with City Attorney Council. The re
milt of the deliberation was the drafting of a
motion , asking the court to modlty the per
tmptory writ so that the order w.uld be alter
native. It was also ai'ked that more time 1)3
given the councllmcn ! n which to make
answer to the writ.
HOARD WITHOUT AUTHORITY.
A number of reasons are advanced In sup
port of the motion. The principal ones
nttack the legality of the board and the con
stitutionality of Us appointments. Thcj
are as follows :
That the so-called Hoard of Park Commls
sloncrs referred to In said proceedings has
no vnlld cr legal existence ; that the law
purporting to authorize the appointment o
said Hoard qf Park Commissioners by tht >
Judges of the district court , and by whom the
present members of said board were ap
pointed , Is unconstitutional and void ; that
neither under said law , or any existing law
has the Hoard of Park Commissioners any
right or lawful authority to employ any at
torney , but the authority of said beard Is
limited merely to the employment of a becre-
tary , landscape gardeners , superintendents
engineer ; , keepers , assistants and laboicr :
as may bs necessary for ths proper cara am
maintenance of parks , parkways and boule
vards and the lmpro\ement and l > ? autlfjliiK
thereof to the extent that funds may bs pro
vided for that purpose ; that tne action o
wild defendants In allowing or approving the
' claim of raid relater and Including the same
In an appropriation ordinance and the voting
I for said ordinance Including sii'-li Item , cacl ;
1 and all In\nlved the exercl&s of Judicial and
leqlslatlvc discretion on the part of said
, defendants and each of them , and the sanio
I Is not subject to control by tha court ? .
I It Is also stated that no demand was made
en cither the finance committee or the coun
cil to psrform the nllsged duty of paying
the fee bsforo the issuance of the writ ol
mandamus , as in required by and declared
necessary by the supreme court. It Is held
that the statements made in the petition
nnd affidavits ars not In accordance with
the facts and that a number of them ore
denied by the cnuncllmcn. 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 by the order of the
courts the co'uncilmen were prevented from
hiving a hearing , which It Is held Is con
trary to the constitution and the laws of the
fctate. Inasmuch as the question Is over con
tested nnd disputed facts.
City Attorney Council announces that he
Is confident of o victory. He says that by
the granting of the writ Judge Ambrose- has
contradicted a ruling he made in the canal
case , by which ho held that the park board
had no authority to make appointments.
MODIFIED WHIT QUANTED.
The hearing on the application of the city
council for n modification cf the writ was
had before Judge Ambrose at 2 o'clock yes > -
'terday afternoon. At the close of arguments
the modification asked for wa granted nnd
the final healing was s > U for Tuesday , 1 > -
csmber 21.
In support of the petition City Attorney
Cornell nrgtiEd that the facts , as stated
In the petition upon which the writ of man
damus was IsaueJ were entirely misleading.
The finance- committee had never declared
that It would not allow the Item for Judge
Doane's fee , but had simply retained the
bill pending an ln\estimation which had not
been completed. As a matter of fact the
fen had not yet been earned , as tliu cane
had not been decide 1 by the supreme court ,
nnd It was expected that there would ba a
hearing by argument when the case WHS
reached. He alto attacked the bill of $35
for expenses , which ho declared was exces
sive. He held that It would be > a manifest
Injustice to enforce HIP peremptory writ un
til the members of the council had had n
day In court and an oppoitunlly to show that
the facts as stated In Judge Doano's pe
tition were not correct.
Judge Doano 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 should
that the council had not only knew of tlio
contract which was nmdo with himself by
the Hoaid of Park Commissioners , but also
approve 1 that contract. It had recognized
the fact that the servlcss contemplated In
that contract had been perfouned by paying
th first Installment of the fee. But In tlio
incMitlme there was an election , and It to
happened that he was unfortunate enough
to bo on the u'do of an organization that
proposed to change the complexion of the
oily council. Consequently when the Hem
had bfen approved by the park board It
was struck out by the finance commltUo
on the ple.i 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 ths city was the defendant In the cose
In question and the city attorney was the
counsel In opposition to the park board.
In granting the modification of the wilt
Judge AmbioFc stated that this was merely
to establish tlio question of fact which had
botn lalsed by the city , If the services had
ban performed ao chime 1 In the petition of
Jidie Doane It was mandatory on the coun
cil to fulfill Its part of the contract , and
hs should so decide. Hut If It was shown
that the services had not' betn performed
he should deny the- application for the writ
of mnndumut. Ho then cet the date for
hearing.

Tl.o popular actor , Clay Clement , whose
artistic character acting In his latest suc
cess , "The New Dominion , " has received
much favorable notice , will open n three-
night engagement nt the Crelghton , com-
meiclng Thursday , December 19 , presenting
his successful play to an Omaha audience
for the first time.
The nature of Mr. Clement's work cannot
be > appreciated by those who hnxo not wlt-
ntfNtd It , as his characterization of Daron
llohcnrtauffen is said to bo entirely new
to the stage , being free from the ordinary
"wooden shoe" work which Is usually con
nected with German comedy.
"The Fast Mall" closes Its engagement
at the Crclghton with two performancjs
today , the usual matlneo being given at
2:30. :
"Tho War of Wealth" Is one of the great
successes of the teason. It Is an American
CPircdy-drama , written by C. F. Dazey ,
the author of "In Old Kentucky. " Manager
Mil has spent n great deal of money In
ptcvldlug It with elaborate scsnery , and It
Is admitted to be one of the moat pictur
esque productions of nn American play given
Iti this country. It will be set-n at Hoyd's
Friday , Saturdiy and Sunday evenings.
The play wau tried In Philadelphia , Pitts-
burg , St. hints and Chicago , and scared a
gtcnt success. It his been put out upon a
vciy elaborate scale this season and with
a etrong c.ist will doubtless repent Its suc
cess , U Is spoken of as a Vigorous drama
of situation and strong heart Interest , trup
In Its reflections of life- and ndmlrnhlp 'n
Its treatment of a theme that has not been
worn threadbare by the dramatists of to
day. U Is said to be swift In action , crisp
In dialogue , and to present a number of
skillfully drawn and striking characteis , and
Is acry big scenic proJuctlon as well.
Leon Margulles , manager of the Dam-
rosch Opera company , wires to Manager
Haynes that the report which has ben given
circulation here by Irresponsible parties that
nil the principals of the company will ap
pear at Uoyd's theater during the forthcom
ing Onialu engagement. Ills e.\act words
aie : "Report nbtunl ; will bring entire com
pany of 200 , including all the principals. "
The sale of season tickets will continue
through the wek at Mejcr's music store.
The demand has basn gtatlfylngly larg' , and
even , tiling points to the financial success
of this notable undertaking.
Frank Mayo has escaped from "Davy
Crockett. " The loophole through which ho
has returned to artistic freedom Is the title
role In his own dramatization of Mark
Twain's "Pudd'nhead Wilson. " Tor mnnj
> turs Mr. Mayo as an ac'or has been under
the burden of a great eaccess , "Da\y Crock-
oil. "
The part of "Pudd'nhend" Is cast in a
mold so different that It will surely thrust
"Dav > " into oblivion. Mr. Mayo's "Pudd'n-
htttd Wilson" Is a sub'le , delicate piece ol
character work nml is sure to bring him
now fame. This attraction comes to the
Crelghton for three nights , commencing
Thursday , December 20.
The Christmas attract'on at Doyd's theater ,
opening Monday , December 22 , will be Jacob
Lilt's play , "In Old Ken'ucky. " This enter
taining domestic story , embellished by nniiy
strikingly novel features nnd faithful scenic
pictures , Is familiar to every theater-goer In
Omaha , and , In fact , has been honored on
pilcr visits by the largest patronage ever ac
corded a similar production in Omaha. The
now famous pickaninny scene haa been
widely copied since the advent of "In Old
Kentucky , " but It Is claimed for this par
ticular band of little darkies that they form
part nnd parcel of the play , and are there
fore the only'stage pickaninnies whose antics
and musical efforts have any dramatic
foundation or posses the charm of natural
ness.
ness.The exciting horse race continues to at
tract great interest , nnd ths ether unique
features seem to have lott none of their
powers of amusing. .
"On the Mississippi , " the great American
play , by William Hawthorne , will open a
four-night engagement at the Crclghton ,
commencing with the usual matlneo Sunday ,
December 22 , with a special holiday matinee
Christmas. "On the Mlsblsslppl" treats of
life In the mountains of Tennessee , along
the Mississippi river nnd In the. city of New
Orleans. Ths author has selected for bis
times 1SG7 and 1SCS ; for his Incidents the
thrilling episodes of reconstruction days , and
for his characters twenty-two of the types
toImvc been met on a trip from Louisiana
lo Tennessee In the years mentioned. There
are nine pets of scenery. These are the
Walden range of mountains , a drawing room
In a palatial New Orleans mansion , a levee
scene on the Mississippi river at night , In
which the colored roustabouts are shown , a
floating theater at the river front , the In
terior of the Star and Crescent gambling
palace , with full gambling paraphernalia
that cost $2,000 , the Henry Clay statue In
New Orleans , around which a Mnrdl Gras
proosstlon turns , a Louisiana swamp , the
nld Jail at Kelly's Ferry and the old Tyson
homestead on Lookout Mountain , Term.
Tlu company numbers fifty rocple , includ

One of 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 pome 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 devlso a
plan f"r helping the Farnam street union dcpt
project ,
.Mrs. Ford then presented to the club n
recommpndntlon of the directory , U was
that the club should pay to the university
extcntlon committee $25 , which should pro
cure to all club members the admission to the
last of Prof. Hessey's lecture ? . The sub
ject of the lectureIs "The Flowers of Ne
braska nnd How They Ar Fertlllred. " Mrs
Ford moved the acceptance of this recom
mendation.
Mrs. Frank Cross , one of the club's charter
members , who has been In the east for the
past year , gave a brief account of the clubs
Into which her Omaha club visiting card
had ndmltled her. She says .every New
ICngland village has nt least one club , and
most of them more than one. In their clnbc
nt least one-half of the programs arc
furnished by outside talent. Hut there Is
much freedom In discussion , nnd the speakers
are piled with questions. The Chicago
Woman's club , after bearing Dr. Sara
Hackett Stevenson read a witty paper on
"Disadvantage of Being Civilized , " was con
vinced that the disadvantages were para
mount. Harriet Hosmer , who was n guest
of the club on thi same day , expressed her-
sf ) as of the same opinion. Mrs. Cross say ?
the cordiality extended to guests Is one of
the most noticeable and certainly one cf
the most pleasant features cf these eastern
clubs * . She advises e\ery woman contem
plating a sojourn from home to arm her-
slf with nn introducing card.
Mrs. Tracy announced that Prof. Bessy
would make a short address on "Current
Scientific Literature" before the Current
literature department. Parliamentary practice
clnsi will hereafter meet at 2:30 : on the
Monday alternating with the club. Psychol-
cgy will meet next Monday at 4 p. m.
Department of applied economics will here
after meet once a month ; first meeting Jan
uary 4 , 1890 , at 10.30 a. m.
After the usual recess Mrs. Harford , who
had charge of the afternoon program , took
the chair.
The program opened with a song by Mrs.
nrkhart , "And There Were Shcphtrds. " This
beautiful Christmas music was followed by
n paper on "Christmas In Song , " by Mrs.
nmma C. Oorden. Mrs. Gordon traced the
growth of Christmas song from that first
glad peal of angels' voices down through
majestic measure of Milton to the merry
carols of holly and yule , nnd through the
later hymns and songs to the familiar
" 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. "
Mrs. EHn W. Peattle , who was heartily
cheered as she came before the club , after
an absence of several wesks , read an 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 hsarUi. Ho
falls asleep , to bo awakencJ 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 and
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 subject of Mrs. Kej tor's papsr. Her
opening sentence , "In considering any promi
nent force in history , tlie greatest Interest to
the student lies In tracing Its origin , the
conditions of Its Influence , and above all the
influence which It has had on subsequent
historical events , " Is an excellent introduc
tion to the manner In which the thetno was
treated. After noting the pluce ths 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
I llnd groping for the true , the beautiful , the
perfect. "Whether or not this be true , " s > riic
said , "the fact remains that more luminous
light than ever before shone on the p.iths of
men. A power had como among men , as
poothlng as an April shower , yet more potent
than the forked lightning tli.U sunders the
storm cloud of the July sky. " In speaking of
tile 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
como 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
Drlng Into Prominence the Real Christmas
Men ? " A number of women spoke , express
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 fovcral of the audience. Christ
mas candy bags , drawn work , embroidery
nnd one good old-fashioned stocktn' to bo
footed ! were observed.

Captain Deck , U. S > A. , last ovenlnft nd-
drcwed a large ntidlenc * nt the Flrel Meth
odist Eplpoopnl churclit n the stains of Iho
American Indian ot 'today. His experience
as nn orricer of the Kovornmcnt , extending
over Iwenty-elRht yonr * , . and Including many
thrilling experience * on the frontier , ns
well ns personal contact with the chiefs of
many tribes , gave lo the address an addi
tional Interest and value , and secured for
the S'pcnker the rapt attention of his auditors.
Tlio general results of Indian education
Imvc not be on satisfactory. This Is because
no place Is provided for the gradualc of the
Indian school after his or her return to the
tribe. The Indian boy comes home from
Carlisle or Hampton , only to return lo Iho
life of his fathers. The corn dance , the vtar
dance , nnd even the forbidden sun dance ,
may be seen today , nnd In the drunken revel
ries may be found the young Rlrls who have
rcceUed nn excellelil academic education.
"Hut vte should not be discouraged , " eald
Captain Beck. "The education of the masses
Is always n slow process. When we allow
for the Influences of heredity , \\c may think
thai It \\ill not take longer for the Indians
to reach the higher plane ot civilization than
It has other peoples. "
Captain Deck emphatically denounced the
"riff-raff cf the whites" who hang around
th ? borders of reservations In order to sell
alcohol to the Indian nnd then secure hi
mark on n paper signing nwny 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 co\et Iheso lands who raise Iho cry
'Tho Indian Is n citizen of the United States
nnd must be nllowed to do na ho pleaeea
with hla land. ' The reason It Is so dllllcult
to protccl the Indian lands from the grasp
Ing , greedy white Is because there has been
no settled policy In dealing v.lth the In
dians. Tlicro has bsen no perslstcnl effort
looking toward the civilization of the Indian.
About tlio time on ? policy begins to work
well n 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 nnd the new
type , passes away then will the education of
ths Indian bo more effective. I do nol bo-
llevc In the Indiscriminate distribution of
buds among nil Iho Indians. I would edu
cate the Indian nnd Ihen say to him : 'Hero's
a piece of farm land ; take it , till it nnd
compote with the whlto man. ' I would nol
give land lo the uneducated. If you give Iho
uneducated Indian land In the spring the
snows of the ne\l winter will llnd 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 Iho influ
ence of the covetous whlto tillers of the
soil. I pray you voters to uss your i : fln-
ence with jour rcpresentnllves for Iho red
men of Nebraska. When Ihey are I'irown
out nmong the whites and given Und In fee
simple Ihey are gone , pitifully and trrrow-
fully gone. "
