WITH A BURLESQUE CIRCUS
Very Elnbornto Prcparntions for tbo
Thanksgiving Entertainment ,
SOCIETY IS INTERESTED IN THE AFFAIR
I.rmlliiir VOIIIIMT Men if the City Will

Tliriiiimlinut a I.
With foot ball , turkey and the IHirlcnquo
Circus by the Council Bluffs Field club , .it
theDohany theater , eoclcty promises to have
a busy tlmo Thanksgiving day. The last
named attraction promises to be a rare
treat , and will rank far ahead of the UMial
homo talent entertainment , W. L. Haskell ,
the originator of the Burlesque Clrctm , has
Improved his production by several seasons
of success , and the show to bo presented
hero will bo something entirely new. Many
of Its catchy and rollicking features have
been brought out In the rehearsals , and the
cast selected from the young eoclcty men of
the city Is especially etrong. Such a de
lightful potpourri of melody , fun and bur.
losquo will be hard to Imagine until It Is
hurled from the stage of the Dohany Thurs
day evening.
Some clover plans have been studied out In
Introducing the various parts of the per
formance. George S. Wright will presl-lo In
the gulldcd rooms of the Metropolitan club ,
and with a coterlo of congenial souls , will
ovolvei the greatest sixteen-foot ono ring
clrcirs over seen anywhere. To his aid will
come the ubiquitous Mr. Barnes of New
York , and his dazzling personality will tlilno
through the placid features of Monn. I'erry
Dadolett. Drs. Macrae and Trevnor. peun no
often together In real life , will present on
entirely original and striking living picture
as Mc&ira. Upaon and Downs. But what they
will really do must bo seen.
And thcro will nome real serious and
artistic features to tlio entertainments. Mr.
Arthur I'ryor , Sousa's gieat trombone player ,
will appear during the evening , Mr. Pryor
's ' a personal friend of M. Haskell , the di
rector of the Burlesque Circus , and offered
to come to Council Bluffs and spend Thanks
giving with him and play some of his
masterpieces.
BALLAD AND COMIC SINGING.
In the ballad and comic singing , It would
bo hard to find a more accomplished coterlo
than I. M. Treynor. Phil P. Paschal , \\r. S.
tllgdon , W. L. Douglass. Tom Askln , C. S.
Haveratlck nnd W. L. Haskell. .
But the main feature Is the circus. Ed
Troutman Is announced to sell the pro\crblal
red lemonade and pop-corn to the festive
"rube. " Mr. Douglass will bark for the side
how , and the wonders of the side show
'reaks will be the subjects of divers disserta
tions by George Hughes. No rural sport will
bo allowed to go unplucked. and the wheel
of fortune will he- presided over by Will
Dee-be , whllo through the silence will bo
heard the peals of Tom Motcalf's portable
organ. There will be some legitimate saw
dust ring work , and among this can bo men
tioned the bareback riding of Paul Torrlng-
ton , on his famous horse "Spot. " Mr.
Haskoll and Mr. Douglass will make a great
pair , as the ring master and clown , and the
airy flights of Will Illgdon on the high
wlro have already resulted In much wonder
it the rrjiearsals.
Another feature that promises to detract
greatly frcm the charms of the Circassian
beauty , David Stuart , U the grand entry in
which Messrs. Ned Mitchell , Dr. Treynor ,
Griffith , DoLong. Ghould , Ingoldsby nnj
I'arnsworth appear.
Asldo from the explanations given above
if the proposed burlesque- , the Field club
nembers are carefully guarding a number
3f their cholEcst bon mcts , and have been
rehearsing them In private.

Ornnit Jury Flint * Murli Kvlilencc on
tliilt .Hnl.Jrct.
The grand Jury returned n final report
yesterday and brought In n number of In
dictments , only n few of which were made
public , bench warrants being Issued on the
others , A report was also filed on the con
dition of the two Jails , which were found
to bo In good condition.
J. F. Wright wasfjulfctcd on two charges ,
ono of maintaining a nuisance nnd the
other of maintaining gambling house. The
Indictment Is considered of much signifi
cance , as for some time the general Impres
sion has existed among the authorities that
thcro was no gambling going on. It seems ,
however , from the evidence brought before
the grand Jury that thcro Is nt least ono
full-Hedged gaming' place in the city at 535
Broadway , which Is the resort that Wright
Is charged with having maintained. Several
police officers testified before the grand Jury
that they had neon gambling going on. Jim
Snoddcrly testified that ho had lost about
$600 In the place shortly before election
trying to kill oft the high card nt the faro
bank. Tills ntntemcnt was supplemented
by ono by U. N. Whlttlesey , who said ho
had been authorized by Snoddcrly to re
cover about $500 that had been lost at
Wright's place. Whlttlcsey testified ho had
succeeded In getting back $253 In cash and
a note for $25. Carpenter Rose testified that
he had made a crop table for Wright and
had taken It to 535 Broadway. Wright gave
bonds at once for his appearance.
An Indictment was returned against Rob
ert Holiday , charging him with burning nnd
maliciously destroying fruit trees and
bushes. October 4 Holiday , with n num
ber of other boys , went Into E. B. CrandaU's
orchard and set fire to some brush that
destroyed several trees.
The boys claimed It was done by accident
and nt a trial of the case In the Justice
court Hallday was acquitted. This Old not
end the matter , however , as Crandall , who
prosecuted the boy In the Justice court ,
happened to bo a member of the present
grand Jury. Ho appeared before himself
and testified that ho had seen the boys com
ing Into his wife's orchard nnd had con
cealed himself and watched. Tlien Ho testi
fied he saw Holiday set fire to the under
brush that destroyed his wife's apple trees.
Hallday gave bali.

A gentleman who was present at this
meeting has said there Is nothing of a sensa
tional character In the report and that no
charge save possibly that of mismanage
ment is made against the Mayer adminis
tration. The methods of keeping the
books , however , Is criticized , and the report
Is said to show that for. more than five ycaro
past unearned dividends have been paid
with money borrowed .for the purpose and
upon collateral belbqgpig to the company ;
that tbo books hav bccn kept In such man
ner as to Indicate a more favorable financial
condition than actually existed and that
othT Irregularities3 of . minor nature were
discovered.
The moat Important feature of the re
port , however , Is soflil tobo that It reveals
the fact that even under the conditions that
actually existed thaw system was fully able
to pay Its Interest iandi other fixed charges
out of Its earnings and that If the dividends
had not been pald'aa stated the road would
liave been self-supporting and the necessity
of a receivership wolild liavc been avoided.
As soon as the .report Is made public n
meeting of the Baltimore reorganization
committee will be held , at which It will bo
determined whether a further examination of
the books will be made under the auspices
of the committee.

NEW YORK , Nov. 21. A statement re
garding the collapse of the negotlatlona for
ho transfer of the control of the Seaboard
Air Line to Thomas F. Ryan tf this city was
today Issued by the pooling committee of
stockholders of the property. It says an
agreement was reached with Messrs. Ryan
and Harvey for the sale of the property ,
subject to the approval of three-quarters of
ho shares represented' by the pool. With
very few exceptions every stockholder slgn-
ng the pool voted , and instead of three-
ourths voting In favor of the sale to Mr.
lyan less than one-half were recorded In the
affirmative. Mr. Ryan was at once notified
of the result of the ballot , and that the
stockholders declined to sell at the price
named. His $60,000 , the amount depraltcd ,
vas returned to him. "Tho proposition of
Mr. Ryan was submitted to every stock-
lolder fairly , " says the statement , "and the
) eel did not Influence or control their votes.
Vbether Mr. Ryan represented the Southern
lallway company in the proposed purchase
a a matter with which the company had no
onccrn , and they are not responsible for
vhat seems to bo the opinion that the real
bject of tbo purchase was to remove com-
ctltlon and thereby Imperil the vast busl-
css Interests of the south. "
