NI3W YORK. Nov. 4. A member of tht
XJilon Pacific syndicate , speaking today of
the arrangements for depositing In banks
the $58,000.000 which Is to bo pild the gov
ernment for release of Its lion on the Union
Pacific main line , purchased lost week at
Omaha , said-
"Tho tiansactlons will bo carried through
without a ripple to disturb the nnanclnl sit
uation. Tlio money will bo deposited In
eight or nine banks and more If they eire
to qualify as such depositories. Ono bank
tnkcs $15,000,000 of the money and It can
arrange to toke $30,000,000 If necessary. I
do not think any of the money , will bo de
posited In Chicago 'banks , for the rea
son that the money Is In Now York
and Chicago does not want It now any
morn than the New York bulks do. Some
little , of course , may bo deposited In Chicago
and ono or two other cities , perhaps , If there
are any payments to be made on that ac
count In these cities. It should not bo for
gotten that vlitually whatever money Is to
be deposited this month Is already hero In
b-ink and trust companies on account of the
reorganization committee and the under
writing syndicate , and the depositing of It
In banks to the credit of the government
simply means a bookkeeping transfer for a
great part of It and the lest merely a trans
fer from ono bank to another. Some of the
moiu'y to be received has jot to bo paid
by Currpcan Interests , and for that the un
derwriting syndicate will drawexchange. . "

CHICAGO , Nov. 4. Tlicro was a very sen
sational break tra wheat today and an equally
sensational rally. The December option
started at 93W@9GVSc. Suddenly , and with
out any apparent reason at the time , the
price plunged 14 cent and 1 cent at a tlmo
to 9174e. The recovery Was equally senna-
tlonal , the price advancing to 95 cents again
( Ho minutes after the drop. Tlio suddenness
and violence of the fluctuations bewildered
trader * tor a time. It Is generally believed
that the break was but a phase of the light
which Is on between the grain elevator own
ers and the Interest known as the bull clique.
The selling appeared like an organized laid ,
and for a time the pit was In a state approaching
preaching a panic The bull faction did not
take hold until December had touched 92c ,
and \ery little bidding sent the price up
again.
NUW YORK , Nov. 4. Renewed efforts on
the part of Chicago's wheat clique to drive
out long stuff today met with unexpected
SUCCC < M , considering the ne\\s. Although
naturally most pronounced In the home mar
ket , local prices suffered an early break of
lc a bushel In a space of ten minutes ,
which was qulto stlincleiu to set the pit In
an uproar and upset stop-loss orders. Tor
an hour wheat held on slim margins poured
In the market oca red out by nous from Chicago
cage After a shier drt ( < of 3 > ,4c a bushel
at the \\est cllquo traders reversed theli
tactics and began unloading upon the break ,
which started a sjmpathetlo recovery In
other markets. Again neai the close , however
over long wheat appeared once more and
pi Ices weakened locally to almost the lowest
point December's total change was from
U7c to 99e , closing at 9780 Total transac
tions were 8,111,000 biwliels Exporters took
advantage of the break to buy upwards of
ICO luids , or nearly 1,000,000 bushels , at New-
York for export.
AMUSEMENTS.
The Craao engagement at Bod's ended
with the performances yesteiday , "His
Wife's Hither" being presented at the mat
inee , and "A Fool of Fortune" la the evenIng -
Ing Hoth plasi are by Martha Morton , the
_ first bolng designed appaientl ) solely to
amuse and the second serving a more serious
purpose and pointing a moral which Is plain
to the leEu't observant. Unquestionably
there are opportunities for pathos In "His
Wife's rather " In other hands the charac
ter of old Hillings In his lonclinebj andi hla
mistaken kindness might and doubt'ess
would create smxithy | at times. Mr Crane
fallis short of the full measure of the part
by just so much. In "A Pool of Fortune"
ho docs his utmost In the pathetic vein , tut
again ho misses It by ever so little. When
all Is said and done , this admirable artist
Is a comedian , and not one of those , either ,
who have the rare gift of moving audiences
to laughter and teais at will.
"Ills Wife's rather" l.as been seen here
before. It to uproirlously fucciy , as Mr
Crane und his choice abboclates play It.
Perhaps It would not be so diverting if the
sober side of Hillings' l"t were a trlllo more
accentuated , but one u fain to believe It
would be truer to uatuio and so better. In
"A Tool of Fortune , " which shows Miss
Morton at hci best aa a playwright , the
comedian does work , ut once strong and del
icate , and for the most part quite convincing
As before , howevei , the humorous is his
metier , and while he doubtless gets more
than another out of the comic scenes , nnothei
might appreciably suipaso him In such
scenes as the powerful tas > t act of "A Fool
of Fortune "
Mr. Crane's compaoy Is an exceeding ! )
good ono Walter Hale has made an excel
lent Impression for manliness and slneerlty ,
and to these qualities he added a well
planned and happily sustained dialect In the
evening's play Mr. Putnam , viio was out
of the matinee cast , won much favor for his
performance of Worresdorf In "A Fool of
Fortune , " and Mr. Iloag made many fi lends
b ) an admirable character tketch as Green
In the simc piece. Miss Irish did not ap
pear in the evening , but had a part at the
matinee which oeemed1 to suit her. and Miss
Haswell , Miss Stevens and Miss Lester were
entirely acceptable In their several roles.
Last evening at the First Methodist church
the Mondamln Choral boclety under the di
rection of Mr. Thomas J. Kelly , gave Its In
itial performance of the present season The
society numbers 118 members , an'ong whom
are many of the best voices of the city The
choral resources of Omaha may bo judged
by the fact that there aie only two nembu *
In the Mondamln society who veto in Iho
Omaha Musical boclcty last joar. This
speaks v/cll for the possible chorjs for tha
Transmlsslfslppl exposition.
The program presented last evening vvab
unlmio In many respects New , deas mo
rare and Mr , Kelly POSSCEBOS the equally rare
gift of originating them. He seems to have
discovered that the making of a program Is
qulto as much a work of art as the painting
of a picture , and that the same 'avvs of hym-
mctry and relationship should 1 e observed
Also that a program , like a picture , t.hould
have a definite object. The obj vt. evident
In Mr Kell's program ! ast evening was Iho
education of the public In vvnat Is called
"musical form. "
There were nine numbers rendered by the
Mondamln Choral society and cae'i ono was
typical of a specific order of vocal composi
tion These vvero the mass , the acme of re
ligious composition ; the nadrlgil , a foim of
the English glee ; grand opera ; a hinn , Iho
chief musical outgrowth of the leformrtion
and Mai tin Luther's love of minlc ; tlio cra-

depth of feeling surely not to have been ex

Haverly played the piano accompaniment
with good taste.
The giving of concerts In a church Is a
questionable venture. Thcro Is a reserve felt
by the audience which is likely to bo mis
taken for coldness and lack of appreciation.
A great chorus needs the encouragement of
cnthuslistlc applause and tiioso who attend
choral concerts In a church should remember
that they are concerts and not church ser
vices and that the same freedom In expres
sions of approval should obtain as Is custo
mary In a theater.
The next concert b ) the Mondamln Choral
society will be given December 20 , and a
ointata entitled "Tho Daughter of Jalrus , "
composed by Sir John Stalncr , will bo pro
duccd.
Seats arc now on sale for the Julia Mar-
owe engagement at Bail's theater , opening
on Monday evening "For Bonnie Prince
[ Jharllc , " Miss Marlowe's now play , will bo
the bill Monday and Tuesday evenings , and
at the Wednesday matlucc. On Wednesday
evening "Hoiiieo and Juliet" will be given
md ot ( Thursday evening "Ingomar. " With
lier Juliet all arc familiar. She has not
| ilacd Parthenla In "Jngomar" so often In
Omaha , but many of her admirers will re
call that It was a sweet and pietty picture.
An Interesting feature of the Omaha en
gagement will be the production of "For
B.mnio Prince Chirllc , " the new romantic
drama with Scotland as the scene of events.
The play offers , It Is said , a picturesque
setting The paintings of the brown heath ,
the shaggy wood , nnuntaln and flood of
"Caledonia stern ami wild" are by the best
artists. There Is a field of romance In the
struggle of the Young Pretender , which
should yield a stirring play.
Tlio theater goem of this city will bo es
pecially Interested In the announcement of
the appealanco of Robert I ) . Mantel ! In a
new romantic play written for him and
partly under his personal direction , by W.
A. Trenianc It Is entitled , "A Secret
Warrant " Miss Charlotte Uehrens Is en
gaged as leading lady , and In addition , Mana
ger M. W. Hanloy has organized a select
company so as to secure for the new piece
an even and perfect rendering throughout.
The story Is laid at the Court of the Due
d'Orleans In 1720 , and gives some vivid
scenes of the corrupt Hourbon regime. Man-
tcll plays Louis do Beaumont , captain at the
King's Guards , a dashing , dare-devil soldier
of the d'Artagnan typo. The engagement
opens tonight and continues Saturday and
Sunday.
Ono of the best repertory attractions In the
west Is the A. Y. Pearson Stock company ,

RAPID CITY , S. D. , Nov. 4. ( Special. )
County warrants In the several cctintlcs of
the Black Hills arc , with the exception of
Lawrence county , not exactly up to par and
arc not considered In the sense of good In
vestments. Ever since the passing of the
law by the legislature In 1S91 , which gives
the rlcht to these holding county warrants
to apply them on their taxes at face value ,
there ha& been a depreciation In their value
Warrants In Fall River county are quoted
the lowest of the several counties In the
Hills. They are now worth about -40 cents
on the dollar and have been as low as 30
cents. Custcr comes next at 45 cents. Pen-
nlngton and Mcade counties arc quoted at
about the same , from CO to 75 cents , Law
rence county leads and sets the pace at 100
cents on the dollar.
The main reason , probably , for the decrease
In the \nlno of the warrants In the agri
cultural counties Is that the farms , many
of them , have been deserted because of the
dry times and people have left the country.
Many districts huvo been wholly depopulated.
The tide has turned and from now on. by
means of Irrigation , farm land will bo at
a premium , and , as already Is the case , the
old owners , with the new , are returning to
the Hills. In the last few months county
warrants have advanced bv from 10 to 20
cents on the dollar In all the counties
Considerable Interest Is being shown by
people outsldo of the state In regard to real
estate and pioperty of different kinds In the
Black Hills. Heal estate men report that
their malls remind them of olden times when
times were good. The experimental ago of
farming by means of Irrigation has been
passed and custom people are Inquiring
anxiously In regard to farm land. The Hills
have not been well advertised In the past ,
either they have been boomed too much or
nothing at all said. This summer there have
been a gicat many visitors from the far cast ,
who have upon their leturn paid this country
through their homo press the highest kind
of praise' . Irrigation In the Black Hills has
solved the question of farming There Is a
magnificent system of mountain streams.

draw any of the railroad litigation fund. Ins
presented a second voucher for $800 , on
which payment Ins been refused on the
ground of the attorney general's opinion and
also for the reason that there Is no longer
that amount of available funds. The action
of his Is probably a basis for a suit to test
the question In the supreme court.

There are callings and callings open to

Illustrated , and to the borrow of a clerk In
the linen department of a Maiket street firm
A well known matrofi who lives In the fash

this tragedy. She was out for whit she
could get and Incidentally wished to pur-
chise n tablecloth. She entered the house
of the firm , and , going to the linen depot t-
nient , asked the clerk what a certain table
cloth which was In the stock was worth. He
prieed them for her at $3.
This did not suit at all , and after an argu
ment of borne minutes she finaly peistiaded
him to sell the tablecloth for $ J 50. When
she had got the poor cicrk to this stage
she had him just where she wanted lil'n
She looked the tablecloth over once more ,

The clctk , feeling "soro" becm'so lie had

"Well , If vou can , I'll give you this cloth. "
"You will ? " Bhe answeicd , eagerly. "All

She left the store , and going to the other
place , asked the head clerk , to sho-v her a
tablecloth of the kind she had seen at the

Of course the clerk Immediately let her
have ono for $2.50. Taking the ticket and

"There , " she said , show Ins It to him , "I

No proof was wanting to convince the

The projectors of the line of railroad from

The upper Platte valley has a population
of 1,500. The town of Saratoga Is the com
