two-story bulldlnc on the southwest corner
of South and Ulovcntli streets. Whllo It Is
recognized as a Mate- Institution and receives
biennial appropriation ! ) from the legislature
It has been claimed that Its olllclals made no
reports to any one , but conducted Its affairs
on the lines of a decidedly close corporation
An Investigation ot these charges , how over
Siliovvu them to be only partially true , oud la
thly particular the managers ot the homo ap
point its owu ofllccrs regardless of the KOV-
ernor or the Hoard of 1'ubllc Hulldliigs.
A number of jcars ago the homo waa
started as a purely local charltjble organiza
tion , with a buard of women managers. Stlb-
nequcntly the legislature made an appropria
tion for Its maintenance nnd the prccelent
thus established has since been followrd. The
legislature of 1S33 appropriated $3J,000 for
thu homo and the last wo 3lon gave It $ iO00.
At present Mrs. A. M. IJavls Is prcsdcnt
and Mrs P. M. Williams superintendent of
the Institution. Ilia board ot managers make

Henry liliiin of Omaha , who succeeds
Jule Schocnhett as shorthand writer In
the governor's olllco was at his post today
and appeared to find hmuelf exceedingly
busy. The latest rumor i In regard to tlio
Kearney Industrial School for Uojs Is that
J. J. Imhoff of this city Is to succeed J ,
II. M.Ulallcu as superintendent of that insti
tution. It appeals to be fully settled that
Sidney J. Kent will assume the position
of deputy commissioner of Industrial sta
tistics to hi ! made vacant by the retire
ment of John Powers. The future of the
latter Is not > ct decided upon , and the rumor
that ho Is to succeed Nets McDowell In
the olllco of secretory of state lacks con
firmation. It Is considered certain that
Prof. C D Grlllln , n son-ln-lavv of Land
Comm'saloner-clect ' Wolfe , will bo given
some position , less than superintendent. In
the Kearney school. Mr Imholf , who Is
mentioned for the ouperlntendency , la a

In regard to recent dlstr'butlon of pitron-
ugo by the Incoming administration , It Is
generally remarked that the appointments
are getting Up-heavy with a democratic ele
ment and some of the more prominent pop-
ulluts are beginning1 to demur. Some of
them arc bold enough to admit , however ,
that this la done for the solo purpose of
strengthening the bonds of fusion In the
state , which was found of such Imnicu&o ad-
vantaco at the late election.

Slnco the opinion of Attorney General

questioned , but tlio lito opinion of Attorney
General Churchill would seem to cover his
ciso and that of other county olllclals , ao

So far Governor llolcomb has not announced

Mine Nordlca has canceled all dates for

word received jesteiday by the management
of the Omaha Musical society. The reason
Tor this change In her plans seems to bo the

to furnish a sulllcleht financial guarantee to

furthermore , their Inability to make a suf
ficient number of dates to properly 1111 the

At the Doyd last evening was given the
Initial exhibition of Cdteon'a Vltsicope Ir
conjunction with a dramatic performance
by the nittner compan ) . The play was
"The Tire Patrol , " and both It and the
company are too well known to need ex
tended comment. The Vltascopo Is some
thing new and novel. Ordinary pictures
throw n on a screen1 have become too com
mon to be of aleorblng Interest , but when
by the old of this apparatus some of the
meat beautiful combinations of nature and

scene was particularly good The central
figure U a woman1 scattering grain which
she carries In her apr6 $ and all the while
a largo number of doves are coming anil
going , busily engaged -picking up the grain
One of tno most artlstlc'was ' the portraiture
j of Sissy Fitzgerald1 performing one of her
graceful dances. As the figure goes through
the evolutions with all the grace and nat
uralness of life It Is dlincult to believe It is
! not actually flesh and blood , which the eyes
1 bcholfl. These are only two ot the man }
pictures pifflcntcd An ! the hearty applause

were well pleased. Lait night was the
