1-1 Tins OMAHA DAILY u . AMUSEMENTS. | I iff % r Tito er.terUinmcnt provided at the two local thi-alL-ru for fair week was of n kind especially well adapted to tliat pe culiar nine , nml unqucBtloinbly ROVO pirns- uro to th"tast crowd of country patrons , not that the large audlencce which nightly pai-hcd the playhouses were by any means composed entirely ot rural visitors. They came In for the most part two ami two. hanKlnK toqelher with an evident grim de- tirmlnatlon that In no shuffle. Inwcvcr olr 'ntioua , would they suitor themselvrs to bo lost. And many nn usher they drove to ilrlpk by misunderstanding or misappre hending directions and adding unnecessary weight to hla already overburdened back. Hut when they finally got seated la parquet or nailery and the curtain was fairly up liiforc them , their enjoyment was such that no sole could sen It unmoved. The average town crowd which likes a llnyt farce Is ppt to manifest Its apiirovnl rather noisily , but n audience In which the yeomanry predominates set down In front of such a vulgar , boisterous mess ot puerility as "A Milk White KlaK" will cap all climaxes r.ii-1 take all prizes for Uproarious mirth. "Silas and Kcalah , " fresh from the farm and the dairy , take even a keener delight than their city cousins of like mental devel opment In the coarse humor and unspeak ably bad tfistu of Mr. Hoyt. Jlr , lloyl Is perhaps the most conspicuous Instance now available of that class of writers for the singe which festers and ) still further ilebnuchos public taste already low. There U a demand for his kind of thins , rnoro's the pity , tnd ho noes on supplying 11 out ot the upparnntly Inexhaustible and not ovorelrati renorvoir of his mind. One must Klvc him credit for getting clever peonlo ( o prodtlcu his unsavory output. The- company which presented "A Milk Mhlto Klag" here last week , although not extraordinary one as Hoyt organizations KO. was nt least cipablc of giving Mr. lloyt's rubbishy dialogue a zest beside which the written words would read like an almanac or a copy of " 1'uck. " The > .horent vulgarity of the piece. In theme and treat ment , neither these people nur any others cc.ild renne away , it . , , ernai > s n trllln more offensive than the rest ot the Hoyt productions , but the difference IH only one of degree. They arc all offensive to people ot breeding and tnste. And meantime their author keeps turning them out , with gllli facility , and giving the poor , childish do- ludcd public what It demands ; posing as a fiatlrlst , and forgetting that the whitewash brush and the axe are not the tools of the atlrlst , nor the ocwcr his Inspiration. Memories of the dead magician , Herrmann , will bo called up by the appearance In town today ot his widow In her always attractive dinccs and of his nephew , Leon , who will endeavor to hold tin- great popular favor whlcn the clilcr man enjoyed , by working along similar lines Into the hearts ot the people. If one may Judge trom 'the com mendation which the work of the young Herrmann has receive , ! throughout this , his first American tour , he Is In no essential particular Inferior to his lamented uncle. In Bomo ways ho Is cald to be even more dex- troiis. Adelaide Herrmann needs no Intro duction to an Omaha audience. Her dances weio known and admired here long before that well advertised damsel , Lolo Fuller , made her meteoric dccccnt upon the town last winter. It Is to be regretted that the engagement of the Herrmanns Is limited to two per formances on a day when a great part of the women and children who used to make up the old Herrmann audiences will go to church rather than to the theater. It would seem that a longer engagement would have been profitable all round If it could have been accomplished. Hut perhaps the Herr manns will come again later. "Miss Francis of Yale" and "Never Again" nro two new comedies which have been re ceived with considerable favor In the east end will be presented hero within the next few days with excellent and In moat casss original casts. The former exploits Etlennc Glrardot und Is said to bo quite as amusing as "Charley's lAiint , " In which that clever comedian Ilrst appeared In America , although ho has not been In any of the companies which have played It In Omaha. "Never Again" had n long summer run In Chicago , with E. M. Holland , Ferdinand Goltschalk 1-rltz Wllllunu. Ucaslo Tyrce , Kitherino Florence and others helping to nuike It a success. Clay Clement Is headed this way , and will scon give Omaha theater goers an oppor tunity to Judge of the merits of his new play , "A Southern Gentleman , " which , he writes the dramatic editor , has undergone oomo beneficial changes since Its not over- onthUKlastlc reception In Chicago a few weeks ago. Mr. Clement has many friends here , and is prone to regard Omaha with special affection as a place which was among the very first to "discover' ' him. Doii'btlesa lie will also bo seen , during his coming en gagement , l.j his charming Impersonation of Haron Hohenstauffen In "Tho New Do- inlnlon. " The presence In Omaha last week of Thomas W. Ilyley , part owner and manager of "A Milk White Flag , " recalls the dainty personality and unquestioned genius of his lamented wife , Emily Ilanckcr , who died un timely last June. Miss Ilanckcr was a favorite with discriminating audiences everywhere , and was nowhere more sincerely admired and respected for the beauty of her peraonal char- nc'.or as well as for the manifest sincerity of her work , than In Omaha. She was last seen here less than a year ago , when she presented an adaptation of Sardou's " 1)1- vorcons ! " at the Crelghton under her bus. hand's management. The news of her death came as a shock to her many friends , who had hoped great things for her In her stage career. The comedian who heads the cast of "Miss Francis of Vale" has hit upon the Ingenious device of publicly advertising an offer of a free float at his opening performances to each and every eltlzen whoso name Is either Ktlenne or Glrardot. This IH resulting In happy family reunions of the Glrardots and Ullnmes throughout the length and breadth of the land , and greatly widening the domes tic circle of this particular player , especially on tin- Gallic side. It Is understood that a nar meeting has been called In anticipation of this Impending reunion , and that the Ktlcimes and the Olrardots will bo kept In separate boxes on the opening night of "Miss Francis of Vale , " Among the theatrical managers and press agents who have been In town during the last week are : Messrs , Davis. Merrltt and "Wlfikham of "MeSorley's Twins , " Ryley nod Arthur of "A Milk White Flag , " Scott. li > advance of the Herrmanns ; Harrison , the forerunner of "Never Again , " and Henry F. Greene , whose viluablo services are enlisted this year In behalf of "Miss Francis of Vale , " Personal letters to the dramatic editor from Sol Smith Kussell and Otis Skinner ni.nounce the continued good fortune of these favorite actors , Mr. HiiRscll huu re ceived uniformly favorable nntlcei from the Now York rrltlcH for his work In "A Ilaeh- I'lor's Itomaiice. " with which ho returned to tlio inctrnpolU last week after an absence of boveral years ; and 'Mr. Skinner has evi dently pleased the Chicago putdlo and a good share of the press with hla now romantic play. " 1'rlnce Itudolph. " Ciiiiilnu ; KvviilN. Hardly a man , woman or child In the United States waa not familiar with the fcaturei ) of Herrmann the Great , the dean magician. The features of a uuccetsful can didate for the presidency of the United Brutes were not better known than the face end figure of the man whose fame as n nccromuncer spread throughout the -world , lleforc be died he had Fclcctcd l.eoiv Herr- maun , his nephew and a star magician of Europe , us hla. successor In this country. The young man bears a striking resemblance to his late uncle. When he appears before Ills audience there Is Invariably a murmur ot tutonlbliment , for before them they see the familiar figure of the lamented Herr- wttiin the Great , the same coal black pointed xnouitecho and the same diabolical goatee. It almost sccuis as If the old Herrmann bud come to life , twenty yearn younger , and teed before tboia once gala la xnyitifjr And -Ulif/il them with his Inexplicable tents of Ir-Kerd.'maln The new Herrmann pos- srsi s the same little mannerisms that chnr- actc-rlzrd his uncle , and the came magnetism with which he used to hold the rapt atten tion of the spectators. Ills quaint and funny remarks as he performs his wonderful Illu sions with the name grace and skill ot Herr mann the Great bring him the friendship ot all who sco him. His success In filling the place left vacant by his uncle has been phenomenal. He will be seen here at the CrelRhton this afternoon and evening with Adelaide Herrmann , who will K'VO ' her mar velous spectacular dances. Herrmann the Great company this year contains no loss than twenty people , nnd the appointments ot the performance ate the most elaborate that have ever toured the country. The attraction nt the CrclRhton for four nlfihts , commencing next Sunday , October 3 , will be the newest eastern laughing success , entitled "Mlsa Francis ot Yale , " written by Michael Morton , a playwright of good repute. When Manager Charles Krohmau first pro duced "Charlo's Aunt" at the Standard theater , Now York , he selected the famous I.iglUh comedian , Ktlennc Glrardot , to cieato the title role. Glrardot made an cnor- inoiu hit and ho performed the leading role In New York City tor ono sollJ year. Mr. Glrardot last season t-clcctcd a new role In "Miss Francis of Yale , " In which ho has duplicated his "Charley's Aunt" SUCCOJB. The farce Is of the same order of "Mr.VI1 - klnson'rt Widows , " "Jane , " etc. , and comes here with an unprecedented record from the cast , where It was a laughing triumph last season. Much Interest Is being manifested hero by laughter-loving tlioatcr-gocrs to sco Etlcnno Glrardot , the actor who created a role tint made the whole world laugh. Man ager Hrentou Thorpe ot "Miss Francis ot Yalo" has cast the comedy with players of artistic merit. New nnd handsome scenery will be shown , which Is carried complete by the company. The names of the company contain such well known artists as Messrs. Owen Westford , Raymond Capp , George F. Farren , Loua ! Grlsel nnd the Misses Lav In la Shannon , Sarah McVlclter , Monte Donlco , Gertrude Honmn und Idalcnc Cotton. Omuha pcopln will have a chance to sec ti high class vaudeville attraction soon , as Diet's Schiller vaudevilles from tbo Schiller theater In Chicago \vlll hold the boards at the Crolghtorh for six : nights , commencing Monday , September 27. This company Includes the following pco- Ole : Monsieur Ulckncll , the lightning clay modeller , from the Folies IJergeres , 1'arls ; Florence Thropp , the American Anna Held ; Dunn nnd Conners , from' Tony Pastor's theater. New York ; Miss Ella 'Morris ' , the only woman ventriloquist In , the world , from the Aluambrn , London ; Clerlse sisters , Eng lish ductlsts and musical artists ; Tom Me- .N'lah , the well known minstrel comedian ; Mademoiselle DuLora , contortionist , from Circus Hentz , Berlin , Germany ; Grace Adalr , character change artist , and others of more or le s Importance , besides the ctnematographe , the same instrument which had a run ot ten months at the Schiller theater , Chicago , with all now pictures , such ns Queen Victoria's Jubilee , a bull fight In Madrid , Spain , scenes In Jerusalem , taken In front of the old holy temple ; Ixindon police patrol , one round of the Corbett fight , the Koyal Blue Flyer , coming at the rate of seventy-five miles an hour ; twenty pictures from the Klondike gold fields , nnd pictures frnm every country under the sun. "Never Again , " the one big comedy suc cess of N'ow York's last season and which conies from the metropolis with a record of : > 00 nights' triumph at the Garrlck theater , Is conceded to bo a brilliant exposition ot the ultra farcical side of life. The riot of laughter which clings to every moment of this merry play Is brought about by 'the ludlcrousness of the situations , the In genious business , the snappy repartee ana the brightly turned quips of smart wit ticisms. It will bo presented here next Sur * . day , Monday and Tuesday at Boyd's theater , and It Is safe to say will draw forth every amusement goer of the city who delights to rc\7el In a night of continuous laughter. The company Is said to be excellent In every detail , und the scenic environment exactly similar to the New York production. ' ' MKHTIXCJ. t'Oi.NTY ; COMMISSIOXKHS' Divide South Oinnlin Into Four IClor- lloil I'rci'liii'tM. The Board of County Commissioners at the regular meeting yesterday adopted a reso lution Introduced by Chairman Sten- berg , dividing South Omaha Into four election precincts , to correspond to the four wards Into which the city was divided In 1887 by ordinance , soon after the passage of the South Omaha char ter. This resolution was accompanied by an opinion ot the county attorney , to the effect that under the existing laws election districts In cities of the second class must conform to the ward lines Inside the city limits and that tbo custom which has ob tained In the past , of considering South Omaha as one big election district , having one assessor , was wrong , and should be changed to comply with the law. The effect of the change will be to require each word In South Omaha to have an as sessor , Instead of having one assessor for the entire THty , as has been the custom. It Is also probable that It will ba necessary to elect a Justice of the peace and two con stables In each ward of the city. When the resolution was read Commis sioner Hector asked It It was necessary that any action along this line be taken by the board. He said some of the wards In South Omaha were small and had but few voters and these were dominated by a certain power which would make the work of assess ment n farce. Chairman Stcnberg said It was absolutely necessary that the law be complied with since the discovery had been made that Hiich was the law. After some discussion between Mr. Hector - tor and the chairman on the merits of the new departure the resolution was adopted. An opinion by County Attorney Daldrlge confirmed the action of the finance com mittee at the last meeting on the claims of nearly every member of the .police . force for fees as witnesses In criminal cases. It ban been a practice with mem'Sers ' of the polled force , and especially certain of the detectives and patrolmen who wore "next" to the ring , to get mixed up In cases which were likely to be appealed to the district court. When a number of these cases would bo called on the Mine day , these same pollcoJ men would appear In as many as five or six different cases on ono day , and for their services In attending court they would claim $2 for each case , amounting to several dollars lars "pickup , " while their regular salaries went merrily on. About three years ago the Board of County Commissioners refused to allow these fees to policemen on tbo ground that they were on the city pay roll and should not bo allowed to draw what virtually amounted to two salaries. The policemen took the case to the supreme court after being beaten In the district court and the supreme court recently divided that tbo policemen were entitled to their fees the same as other wltncsss. On tlio heels of this decision a large number of claims were filed by policemen , some of the claims amounting to several hundred dollars. At the last meeting of the board the finance tommllleu recommended that each ot the claimants be allowed SI ! for each day's at tendance as a witness , regardless of whether ho appeared In morn than one case , This did not suit the policemen and they registered a protest , The matter was re ferred to the county attorney for an opinion and this was rendered yesterday. The county attorney Bald he was firmly con vinced that the claimants were entitled to but } 2 for each day's attendance , regardless of the number of cases In which they had appeared as witnesses. It Is not unlikely that this termination of the matter will be allowed by another lawsuit , with the policemen - men u.-4 plaintiffs , Ten bids for supplying the county with coal during the coming winter were opened anil referred Id the committee of the whole , which will meet next Wednesday for their coiiblderatlon. On bard coal for use at the court houeo Victor White was the lowest bidder at $7.45 per ton , being about (1.50 lower than was paid by the county last year.

The State fair and Its attendant festivities were succeeded by the ordinary routine of municipal affairs yesterday. The Immense crowds that uurged through the streets and packed the hotels disappeared ns suddenly as they came. Hero and there the remains of a stand that served Us purpose or be draggled bits ot stray bunting remained ' .o call attention to the fact that a test' ; al had been observed , and the gutters viere littered with the miscellaneous debris that a crowd always leaves In Its wako. Out at the State fair grounds tlio chnngo was equally noticeable. Promptly nt 4 o'clock Friday afternoon the exhibitors be gan the almost endless task ot moving their property , and It waa continued until long Into the night. Hours after the last y.lsltorl departed , tne grounds were alive with ex press wagons and busy men , who were en gaged In tearing down what had been so patiently conatrictrd. The avenues were lined with loads of all conceivable sorts of luggage , from a prize squash to the paraphernalia of a wild west show. In the stock pens the owners nnd a small army ot handlers were hard at work getting the vast herd ready for shipment and loading It Into the long line ot stock cars that were waitIng - Ing Just outside the gates. In the yards a half dozen switch engines puffed nnd splut tered and before midnight'the big grounds were practically cleared. The bulk of the best stock was shipped on to the Missouri State fair at Springfield , and a great deal of the fruit and miscellaneous exhibits went the same way. Yesterday the grounds were practicaltcnnntlcss. : . A tow local and belated exhibitors were still moving off their luggage , but they were only a handful us compared to the bustling crowd of tb night beforo. All over < ho grounds th evidences of dissolution were scattered broadcast. Heaps ot rubbish , straw and paper Uttered the avenues. Hero and there a trampled bit of turf Indicated the spot where some fakir had held forth , but the human gorilla , the snake charmers and the various human and animal freaks had migrated. Later In the day the regular em ployes cleaned out the big buildings and locked them up , and then they closed and locked the big gates and left the grounds deserted. The office of the Board of Managers was moved to the Mlllard hotel late Friday after noon and that evening It waa beset with exhibitors who had failed to transact their business until the last minute when they were ready to go homo. But the officials were tired out after a week -constant exertion and they dropped out Immediately after supper and did not appear again until yesterday. Yesterday the hoard and the clerks are busily engaged checking up the books and adjusting such matters as were left over from Friday. Then they will leave for their homes , and the next that will bo known of the fair of 1897 will be when their formal report Is presented to thu state authorities at the beginning of 189S. President Dlnsmore salrt yesterday that It would be absolutely Impossible to say anything about the financial phase of the fair until that time. He Insisted that the management could not even make an ap proximate estimate. He stated that from now until the first of the year warrants would be continually turning up and that an estimate that might be approximately correct today would be grossly IncorccJ to morrow. He added. In reply to further questioning : "While no figure can be given out It Is the general Impression of the mem bers of the board that the receipts have been sufficient to pay all expenses , take up the Indebtedness rema'lnlng from last year nnd leave the board In good condition for further usefulness.

The local merchants are well pleased with the results of the visit of over 100.000 pcoplu who came to Omaha to witness the Ak-Sar- Ben pageant and sec the State fair. One prominent merchant yesterday said that he believed nearly $2,000,000 had been left In tbb wholesale and the retail stores of Omaha during the past five days. Proprietor Brandels of the Boston Store estimates that $1,500,000 was spent here this weak , and figures It out by calculating tbo crowd from out of town at 75,000 persons , who spent an. average of $20 per capita. The Drexel Shoe company and other local retail stores report a marked Increase In trade , and think the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities did more to attract the great throng than the State fair. H Is a fact that thousands of visitors came into the city , spent the day In shopping and saw the pageants at night without going near the fair grounds. The merchants say what was started as an Incidental feature of the State fair has become - como the main attraction. - to Depend On. Mr. Jaineo Jonas , of the drug firm of Jonca $ Son. qowden , 111. , In speaking of Dr. King's New Discovery , says that last winter his wlto waa attacked with La Grippe , and her case grow so uerlous that physicians at Cowden and Pena could do nothing for her. It seemed to develop Into Hasty Consumption. Having Dr. King's New Discovery In store , and selling lots of It , he took a bottle homo , and to thq sur prise of all she began to get better from the first dose , and half a dozen dollar bottles cured her sound and well.

Al Carllle , Inspector of furniture and fur- nUhlngs for the Treasury department at Washington , arrived In the city yesterday to look over the furniture In the old post- offlce building and to nee what Is needed In the new building , He says such ot the furniture which Is now In the old building and Is In good shape will bo transferred to the new postofilco , as the law Is Imperative on that point. All other furniture will be new and will be made of oak.

And secret society folk can now re flect that their neglect to march , not only disappointed the visitor * , but also coat them an excellent opportunity of Impressing them with an object lesson In the gitat tirlnclpal of fraternity nnd with the strength the ec- cict orders really have In this city. The lethargy the societies displayed WEB very disappointing , particularly aa the ex pectation had been that there would be a good showing maile , Invitations had been sent to every lodge In the city nnd In al most every cose they were accepted. Com mittees were appointed to see that the lodge members would turn out. This was all very promising , but the actual fact was dolefully below \ho promise. Figuratively speaking , thcro was just about a handful of the secret society members of the city In line when the actual mcmbcmhlp Is considered. The Modern Woodmen of America had n fair showing , but out of proportion with Its strength. The Ancient Order of United Workmen wns hardly noticeable. The South Omaha representation of this order wns much larger than that from this city. The Wood men of the World was practically the only one ot the larger Orders In the city which had any turnout at all and some ot Its camps wore missing , despite the stlmulous offered by the prospect of winning n flag with n goid representation. Other orders were entirely missing. It Is to the credit of n couple of the smal ler organizations , smaller when membership In this city Is considered , that they made a far better showing. The Hcdmen hail a moat excellent division In the line and one that thoroughly advertised the order. The Fra ternal Union of America made a good showIng - Ing , even though none of Its members marched. The Scottish clan also put to shame the larger organizations. The division of the Elks wns as usual one of the most attractive In the parade. They made an cxecellcnt Impression In their full dress suit * . , With the Ak-Snr-Ben festivities and their attendant excitement out of the way , with the waning of hot weather nnd the coming of the fall , the secret orders In the city are once more getting ready for active work. Many of them discontinued work practically for the summer , but the cooler weather Is once moic wakening them up. With the next month degree work will again bo taken up In all the orders and the Indoor enter tainments will begin. Announcements of botn nro already being made. Independent Order of Odd I The sovereign grand 'lodge of the order as sembled at Springfield. . 111. , on lust Monday for the seventy-fourth time In Its history , with representatives from every state nnd territory In the union and the British prov inces of North America In attendance. The legislation required rft this session was not of the highest Importance , and officers wore not to be elected this year , yet the grand lodge had sufficient , work to do to keep It in session the entire week. The report of the 'grand secretary , showing the condition of the' ' order , was somewhat disappointing. It showed that the gain In subordinate lodge membership for the year ending December 31. ' 1S9G , was the smallest since 1S85 , being but 5,930 throughout the world. The encampment branch was a heavy loser during the year , having a not loss ot 2,001 members. ' On the other hand the Uebokah branch has grown vigorously , showIng - Ing an' Increase of 419 lodges and 26,103 mem bers for the year. The somewhat discourag ing condition Is a&cribed by the grand secre tary to the prevailing business depression and to "the strongly marked lack of per sonal Interest among the membership In the work of the lodges and encampments. " The report shows that on December 31 , 1S9C , there were In existence five Independent grand lodges ot the German empire , Aus tralasia , Denmark , Switzerland and Sweden. There were sixty-six subordinate grand lodges , with 11,399 subordinate lodges and a membership of 831,718. There were fifty- five subordinate grand encampments , with 2,671 subordinate encampments and 131,898 encampment members. The Kebekah lodge numbered -1,573 , with a membership of 1C4- C79 sisters and 116,812 brothers. The total membership In lodges , encampments nnd Itcbekal ; lodges was 1,245,107.Tho so-called Manchester unity bad 900,608 members. The total relief given during the year amounted to $3,393,235.63 , an Increase of $59,412.49 over the preceding year. The number of brothers relieved was 83,724 ; patriarchs , 10.073 ; widowed families , 6,415. A total of 670,816 weeks' benefits were paid by subordinate lodges and encampments. The number of brothers burled was 8,498 nnd of patriarchs 1,395. The total revenue from the subordin ate lodges , encampments and Ilcbckah lodges was $9,058,646.79. nn. increase of $4G7fi2.5S. ! The total expenditures were $4,021.891.01 , u decrease ot $16,874.50. The total invested funds amounted to $26,849,949.42 , an increase of $591,922,76 for the year. Since 1830 a total of 2.137,592 members have been Ini tiated , 2,076,004 members have been relieved , 227.940 widowed families have been relieved , 202,228 members have died ; the total relief $74,356,668.76 has been given and the total receipts have amounted to $193,247,022.80. A point of Interest to Iowa members In the p-occedlugs was a decision against the Iowa state grand lodge In an appeal case of In- dlanola lodge of Indlanola , la. . In the matter ot the location of an Odd Fellows' orphan home. The grand lodge made a contract to locate and crc'et ' a home at Indlanola and sub- ccquently annulled It nnd awarded a contract to Green lodge of Jefferson. An appeal was taken to the sovereign lodge. The latter body sustained the cppcal , ordered the lown grand ledge to annul the contract made with Green lodge and enter Into another with Indlanola. The amendment to the nobekab constitu tion , changing It so that all women over 18 years of ago bo eligible , was Indefinitely laid over by a vote of 104 to 77. The eligibility clause remains the same as In the past. Amendments looking to changing from yearly to bl-ycarly sessions of the sovereign body , changing the basU ot representation. changing the age of eligibility from 18 to 21 years and requiring that grand representa tives shall bo members of all branches of the order 'Wero Indefinitely postponed. The rania actbn was taken regarding the amendment fixing the minimum1 ago at 18 years and leaving It to lojal legislation. The next meStTIik of the sovereign grand lodge will occur pJl9 \ ton. Announcement has just been made ot the near approach of > the sessions of the Elate grand bodies , which will occur In Lincoln In about a moittir.

A fel- lowcraft cannot apply for the master de gree. It has to b0 done by resolution ot the master and for which a fee U charged. Improved Order of Hed Men , In thu military and civic parade last Tues day night there was not a society that re ceived more praise and applause or more favorable comment than did Altaretta coun cil , Degree ot I'ocahontas. The equawB and bucks on horseback in Indian costume were an true to life ns nny over Been In any trlbi ? 'of ' the HtwlRlnes. The lloat , with their | tepees and aimpflrcs , squaws ( ircparliiR a meal and papooses playing around , made the old Inhabitant think ot the days when he first flaw fair Nebraska. Alfaretta coun cil Is the only re.il live energetic reprcpenta- live the order has In these hunting grounds , nnd It deserves great credit for the display made. The liquor question came up as usual for ft considerable share of discussion at the recent meeting of the Great council at Phila delphia. It was decided to refuse dlspcnsa- I tlona to lodges selling Intoxicants In eon- 'ncctlon ' with entertainments and picnics , an action In line with that taken by other secret orders. The decision was not so much the result of a temperance simtlment. but for the reason that n habitual user of liquor Is not a desirable Insurance risk. The next ses loii of the order will be held In Indlancpolls. Modern Woodmen of America. Judge Showaltcr ot the federal court prac tically decided last Thursday that the head oince * ot the Modern Woodmen of Amotlca may bo moved from Fulton to Hock Island. That Is the real effect of his refusal to grant the Injunction asked for by the Fulton pco- plo to restrain the Hock Islanders perma nently trom attempting to remove the offices. And in the face of this decision trom a fed- cml bench 't ' Is believed that the fight will end and that In the near future the removal will bo peacefully effected. The attempt to bring the case Into the fed eral court was made on the grounds that the fact that an Indefinite , number of other members of the society objecting to the re moval , but not living In the state , gave the federal court Jurl'dlctlon. Judge Shownlter ruled , however , that the effort to hold the oincca nt Fulton did not rlsa from a desire to help the order , but to benefit a few men In Fulton. On the other hand , ho maintained that thi > convention of the order -acted for what It thought was tor tbo best Interests of the order when It ordeicd the removal. Ho refused the Injunction and ruled that Judge Geat of nock Island had full jurisdic tion In the matter. The result In this case leaves but one In junction suit pending , the eighth that ban been started. This Is before Judge Oo-U and will be heard In the near future. J. G. Johnson , chief counsel for the order , believes that In this case an Injunction will be re fused also. Ho does not see how Judge Cast can grant It In the face of the opinion of Judge Showaltcr. In the meantime both Hock Island and Fulton nre quiet , ns the former does not eire to go to Fulton again without n court decision behind It. Anelciit Order of t'nlted ' 'Workmen.

The supply committee of the Board of Education has purchased 5,000 pen and Ink tablets for use In the higher grades to take the place of slates. This Is on thu supposi tion that the usu of slates should bo dis couraged In the schools. U Is urged that no pupil over has occasion to use slates after leaving school , and as any error can be easily rubbed out and cor rected the ueo of the slate has a tendency to make the pupils careless In their work. Superintendent Pcarsc thinks that If tbo pupils are Induced to UEO a pen and Ink ex- clUElvcly It will make them more painstak ing In their work.

CANADIANS TO BUILD TO THE LAND OF GOLD llullrnniler * of < lie Dominion Tell of n IMan ( o Construct n Ino ( of Itoiul Into the Froxen \orth. Omaha wllronders yesterday wore glad to receive calls from J. Francis Lee , district passenger agent , nnd Samuel Bent , trawling passenger agent of the Canadian Pacific rail way , and William J. White of the Depart ment of the Interior ot the Canadian govern ment. Canadian methods of railroading nro some times Jeered nt by Americans , but these representatives of the great railroad ot Canada are always welcome In local rail way circles for they are n clever lot anil their Ideas of railroading nro strictly up-to-date. The object of their visit waa to introduce Mr. Whlto to the exposition authorities. Ho is the man who will have jurisdiction over any exhibits that the Canadian government may make at the Transmlshlsslppl Exposi tion , ami for that reason Mr. Leo asked Mr. White to accompany him to this city. Uoth gentlemen say that the prospectus ot next year's big stiow has already reached across the border between the two countries , and that the representatives of her majesty's government to the north nre anxious to do all In their powTfr to contribute to the suc cess ot the exposition. In an Interview yesterday J. Francis Leo said that both freight and passenger traffic had Increased on the line of the ' Canadian Pacific within the last few months. ! The Interpretation ot the much-dlscusscd section 22 of the Dlngley tariff law by Attorney General McKcnnn hns pleased the olllcers of tbo Canadian Pacific Immensely , and saved to them many thousand dollars that would otherwise have been lost. COMPLKTK1) NEXT SPUING. The Canadian Pacific has just begun work on an elghty-five-mlle stretch ot railroad In the Gassier * mining district of British Columbia. It Ms expected that It will bo completed In time to handle the heavy traffic to the Klondike territory that Is anticipated In the spring. As explained by Mr. Lee , the building of this new line will complete a now route to the destination ot the argonauts that Is bound to bu popular. It will bo part rail and part water , and will require twenty days from Omaha to the heart of the newly discovered gold country. The route will bo via Vancouver. From there steamships will bo taken to Fort \ \ rangle , a point on the Pacific coast about half way between the United States nnd Alaska. This is at the mouth of the Stlklno river , a navigable stream up which boats will ascend ts far as Telegraph creek , a point In the Inland of British Columbia. It Is trom Telegraph creek , located In the Capsler district , to Teslln lake , a point less than 100 miles directly north , that the Canadian Pacific railway has Just started to build its new line. Mr. Lcc said yester day that the surveys had been completed and that engineers with n numerous con struction gang had Just started to work , i As but elghty-Ilvu miles of railroad hno tc. I be constructed , and this strip 'over a level stretch ot ground , the scheme Is looked upon as most feasible. This ride will bo the only strip of railroad 'between Vancouver and Klondike , tbe remainder being by wcter. I The northern terminus of the railionil will ' be at the southern end of Teslln lake. ! There beats will again be taken , and th-ough ' the waters of Teslln lake. Hootallmma river I and Lewis river , the journey will bo made i uninterruptedly through to the Klondike gold fields. Mr. Lee states that all the waters Included In this route are navigable , and that both freight steamers and faster passenger boats will be placed In service ivhen the rush to Klondike opens up In the spring. The Journey from the northern end of the propcsed railroad to Fort Selkirk will be by way of the lakes , and from there north to Klondike via the Lewis river. This will be known ns "Tho Stlklne Hlver Houte. " and will mean a trip of fourteen days from Vancouver to the Klondike country. It will bo entirely dis tinct from the Canadian Pacific's overland ronto via Edmonton , which enters the Klondike region tluotigli the back door and Is an all-rail route. CIT RATH .MADIOX OMJCOSIO.

The latest reduction In freight rates from tlio cast to Omaha and other Missouri river points Is on shipments of glucose and glucose syrup. It will be effective on Monday next , September 27 , on all lines between Chicago and Omaha.
