lloiui' Life.
President Salem O. PattUon of Hastings

the subject , "Tho Homo Life and Its Influ
ence. " He said that the homo life Is the
formative period of t'he boy mid girl. The
speaker dwelt fully , Interestingly and touchingly -
ingly upon the home Influences on the lives
of Individuals. It Is all-Important that the
homo life should bo right , In order th.vj the
product of It may bo the best. Thcro Is a
great diversity of homes , good and bad. Al
most every boy accounts for what h Is by
the experience at home. Evil Influences ,
temptations and examples at home make evil
boys and girls. Parents sometimes neglect
their children , even v\hlle engaged In good
work elsewhere. Build up a home a coed
borne.
Early homo Hfo Is a tlmo for habit-mak
ing , to establish a set disposition acd char-
actor. Habits formed should bo rluht hah-
1m true , noble , holy and good. It will then
bo easy for the boy when ho becomes a man
to do good.
It Is a tlmo when memory and Imagination
are fixed and trained. Place before the boye
and girls that which will elevate , ennoble
and make them truer and , better.
Teach the children from God's holy \vorO
and set ) before them the lives of holy nice
of the blblo. The Influence of the homo Is
to bo permanent. Tbo child's destiny la be
ing moulded and shaped for weal or woe- ,
The speaker described the rigorous training
of the Spartans. It wo are to have Christian
citizenship In our land we must emphasize
the family as the unto of all that Is best end
makes for the best. When temptation comes
th remembrance of mother and homo keeps
Best to take after dinner ;
prevent distress , nld diges
tion , cure constipation.

LINCOLN , Oct. 23. ( Special. ) The state
administration Is having trouble all the time
over the buttcrlno exposure and cvcrj
squirm made by the "saving" officials slnkt
them deeper In the soap grease tureen ,
The matter has been further complicated
by the issuance of a letter by the Nebraska
Dairymen's association , which Is sent tc
every candidate for the legislature. The
loiter Is signed by the official secretary and
It written on the printed stationery , vvhlcli
shows W , A. Poynter to be one of the di
rectors of the association. Whether or no
the letter IB sent out against his wish can
not bo learned at this tlmo , but the "ro <
formers" at the state house believe ho hai
a hand In It and the breach between the
present officials and the candidate for gov
ernor Is thereby widened to a constdcrabli
extent. The letter addressed to the pros
pective ) legislators reads as follows :
FREMONT , Neb. , Oct. 10 , 1893. Dear Sir
In the year 1895 our state legislature en
acted a law , the object of which was to
compel the sale of imitation dairy products
on their merit alone and to prevent thcli
fraudulent sale and use.
So far as tbe provisions of the law art
concerned , they are sutUclcnt to nccompllsl
the result desired , but In effect the law li
a dead letter and of llttlo value , becaus <
there Is no officer whose duty It Is to se <
to Its enforcement. And for the last tw <
years oleomargarine has been sold In al
of our larger towns and cities in open do-
llance of the law , and tbo charge is cvei
made that It Is used In nearly all ot oui
state Institutions. Oleomargarine Is n <
longer manufactured In our state , so thi
argument which was put forth four yeari
ago that the passage * of this law would kll
an Important Industry of our state Is n <
longer of any force.
The dairy Industry of Nebraska Is n <
longer an Industry to be trifled with. It hni
Increased over 400 per cent within the las
ten years. Largo amounts of capital nr <
Invested In It and large numbers of peopli
are Interested In It. It embraces all clasBci
of people and conies close to every home
The labor , capital and brains It employs an
not concentrated In any one city or section
but are diffused over the length and hreadtl
of our state and Us benefits are sprcai
among the people by the people. It Is tin
people's natural Industry and all It asks I :
protection from fraud. At the next sessior
of our legislature an effort will bo mail <
to secure a dairy commissioner whose dutj
It shall bo to see that our laws regulatlnf
the sale of fraudulent dairy products nn
properly enforced.
Knowing you to bo a candidate for thi
ofllco of representative for our next legls
lature , I most respectfully ask jou to glvi
us your views on this question and If electee
\\ould you support with your vote a measuri
whose object it was to provldn for the bettei
enforcement of our laws regulating the sail
of Imitation butter'
The dairy Interests represent 50,000 voter !
In Nebraska who believe that the wholesomi
laws now on the statute books should bi
rigidly enforced. This can be done onlj
through : x > mo empowered to do so. Wll
you kindly let me hear from you as seoi
as possible , that this great army of producer *
may know their friends. Yours most re
spectfully , F. H. VAUOHAN ,
Secretary Nebraska Dairymen's Association
MlHsourl Sean Or on NO.
In order that there may be no doubt thai
the Missouri soap grease Is being used It
the state institutions ot Nebraska , atUn
tlon is called to the following figures show
ing the amount of buttcrlno known to havi
been purchased for the Institutions slnci
July 1 , 1897 :
Pounds. Cost.
Hastings Asylum 11.500 J1.144 3 (
Feeble Minded Institute 10,220 1,019 61
Institute- for Blind 200 200 (
Homo for Friendless 1,000 11001
Kearney Industrial Home. . . 1,800 243 CX
Lincoln Asylum 5,150 534.11
Besides these amounts , which are all veri
fied from sworn vouchers on file In the vaull
at the state auditor's office , there is ovlcle.nci
that a largo amount of butterlno wad boughl
under cover , or , that It Is Included In the
bills for groceries from wholesale houses
Only two ot the vouchers on file show thai
the grease purchased was "light colored , '
the natural Inference being that all the
other consignments were colored to Imitate
butter. As the state law expr nsly prohib
its the manufacture or sale of butterln :
colored to Imitate the real article. It seem :
that the state house reformers have com
mitted a double offense. The statute pro
vides for a One of not less than $10 nor more
than $20 for each offense. There arc forty-
one vouchers on file ( or the purchase ol
colored buttcrlnc , so that the mlnlniun
amount of the fines duo from tlm reformer :
would be $410 , which would be a nice ad
dition to the school fund. During the tlrn <
the officials were feeding the wards of the
state on Illegal Imitation butter , slxty-E > even
new creameries filed article * of incorpora
tion with the secretary of state , represent
ing a total capital stock of $3'ilCOO ' , and
paying $770 in fees for fllin the articles.
IMIIor CniiKht NillipliiK.
In the face of thcao facts some of the
popowats have the hardihood to deny the
while business , and on tlie strength of these
assertions some of the prominent fusioc
newspapers are led lu'o embarrassing eirivs
Edgar Howard , edl o , of tbu Papilllon
Times , was a member of the legis
lature that passed the nntt-but-
terlne law. The" fuslonlsts have lately as
sured him that they have bought no but-
terlne , and on the strength of this the Times
In its last Issue contains the following leadIng -
Ing editorial :
The oleomargarine squeal made by the
republican press of the state against the
present reform administration was consid
ered capital campaign thunder and a terri-
bio howl went up from the gold bug papers
It was the first good thing they had found
with which to charge the splendid gentle
men who have FO nobly and honestly con
ducted the affairs of the state for the last
two years. They said the state was golnij
away to Kansas City to buy dirty , impure
Oleomargarine for the unfortunate Inmate- :
of the state's ditteront institutions , thus
contributing to a mighty trust at the ex
pense of the dairy Interests of our own greal
state. This was Indeed a serious charge
against a reform party , but what a sad blow
It was to the howlers when they vvero In
formed that all the vouchers for Kansas Cltj
oleomargarine were signed by republican
otllclals. The oleomargarine war cry hat
died out In the land and only a faint sound
ot It can be beard from a few of the little
moss-backed editors who have not yet been
Informed of their unfortunate mistake. The
reform officials bavo been tested and not
found wanting and are entitled to re-election
as a reward for public services well per
formed.
When Editor Howard goes to the audi
tor's office and looks over the vouchers he
will find that the consignments of butterlne
enumerated above were purchased during
the last sixteen months and when he re
flects that during that time "republican offi
cials" have bad no opportunity to sign
vouchers ho will have a different opinion of
the "splendid gentlemen who have BO nobly
conducted tbe affairs of the state. " In fact ,
ho wilt find that he Is a victim of misplaced
confidence , having been caught by a false
hood that tbe fusion candidates are telling
In all parts of the state.

Oolil Simulant PrlciulH.
BLAIR , Neb. , Oct. 23. ( Special ) The
following .Iddress has been issued over the
name of S. O. Glover , chairman of the gold
democratic county committee , directed to
democrats of Washington county who believe
In the gold standard established by Jackson
in 1831 and now recognized by every civi
lized commercial nation on earth :
"You wli ) have no nomination In the field
this fall. There are only two tickets so
liciting your ballots. First , the populists.
They proclaim themselves in favor of cheaper
dollars dollars to be paid for your wheat ,
corn , cattle and -other products , which dollars
lars , when1 you part with , will buy > ou
less of othpr commodities than do the dollars
lars which you are receiving today. The
populists proclaim antagonism to the crea
tion of public debt $ and In the same breath
declare for the purchase ot all the railroads
by tbe government. They also assert that
tbo state should buy and operate the stock
yards at South Omaha. The populists ad
vocate other vagaries too numerous to men
tion and all of them contrary to the spirit
nnd teachings of true democracy. The re
publicans present the old Issues. They are
for the gold standard under which all con
tracts have been made since 1S34 and this
virtue Is In extenuation of a great many
of their errors. They still adhere to the
fallacy ot protection. Both tickets asking
your support are composed of men wltli fair
abilities nnd citizenship. If It's proper loy
alty to the party for the silver wing of the
democracy to support the populist ticket ,
It must be by a parity of reasoning perfectly
proper for the democrats who believe In a
standard adopted by a democratic adminis
tration as early as 1834 , to vote the repub
lican ticket. National democrats are therefore - ,
fore to cheese between two evils. It Is
hoped that you will select the lesser nnd
that In the near future > ou will have the
satisfaction of seeing the verification of your
economic views by developed facts now ob
scured by demagogic teachers. "

rally In the opera house and W. S. Summers
nnd Prof , Saylor of Lincoln and E. M. Pol
lard of Nehnvvka were the speakers. The
bouse was filled , tbe audience attentive and
the discourses so logical that It Is felt much
good was done. Mr. Pollard , candidate for
re-election ns representative , explained the
condition of the books of different state offi
cers as ho found them while acting on the
committee that was appointed to audit them
and proved conclusively that when the re
publicans turned over tbo affairs of the state
no rascality had been perpetrated. Prof.
Sajlor did not touch on politics directly , but
gave more of an Instructive lecture. How
ever , he did present a list of many fusion
office holders In this state that were de
faulters. Mr. Summers dwelt on politics
pure and simple and his eloquent address no
doubt won frtcnds , for the cause and made
republicans stronger In tbe faith.

of curiosity , tie ppeakers had good sized
audiences , but did no particular harm to
the republican cause.

TACKLES THE TIGERS TODAY
Nebraska Does Against Missouri in the
Opening Game at Columbia ,
MISSOURIANS PRESENT A STRONG TEAM

This afternoon the first championship
game of the Western Intercollegiate Foot
Ball association will bo played at Columbia ,
Mo. , between the Nebraska eleven and the
Tigers of Missouri. The association Is at
present composed of only Nebraska , Mis
souri and Kansas , slnco Iowa refused to
send a representative to the last league
meeting. The Havvkejcs consequently lost
their membership. But desplto the fact
that only these three teams are competing
for the western championship , ) cttho _ fight
fbr the flog Is certain to bo a warm one
nnd as a consequence the game of today
will bo watched with considerable Interest
by western footballlsts.
Nebraska won last year's game from the
Tigers by a large score and the boys who
wear the old gold nnd block are very anx
ious to turn the tables , but It is doubt
ful whether they will succeed In doing so.
Even with the absence of Guard Hanson ,
who Is out on account of Injury , nnd of
Quarterback Cowglll , the eleven Is strong.
Nevertheless Missouri may have a surprise
up its sleeve. Its victory over the Kansas
City Medical college eleven last Monday by
a score of 15 to 5 shows a vast Improve
ment over Its form of the week before ,
when It was defeated by this same eleven
by a score of 16 to 0.
Tbo Tiger line is much the best slnco ' 95
The two guards Toolson and Hunter , weigh
ing respectively 195 and 260 pounds. In
Monday's game Toolson played all around
the famous "Rock-of-Ages" Pcndlcton , and
Hunter , whoso physical get-up has earned
him the soubriquet ot "General Shatter , "
found big "Bill" Hill a mere plaything.
The Tigers have a superabundance of cen
ters and It Is not yet certain who will play
that position against Nebraska's crack man ,
Mllford. Captain "X Rays" Howard , who
hurt his shoulder In the Wentvvorth game ,
may go In , but if he dose not , either Smith ,
who played a good game against the Med
ics , or Bellow , a 220-pound man , who played
center for William Jewell three years ago ,
Is slated for .tbo position. Missouri has
two strong , snappy tackles In Parker and
Woodson. They each weigh 175 pounds and
are very fast In blocking punts and getting
through.
Missouri has always been noted for Its
ends , and this yeai's pair , McCoslIn and
Harris , are no exception to the rule. They
tackle hard nnd sure and , BO far , no back
has over advanced the ball a yard on a punt
which they went down on. Hnux , tbo quar
terback. Is heady , fast ! In passing and can
keep the team at work. Mosman , the full
back , only weighs 145 pounds , but be has
been doing great work this season. In the
Medic game , with a slippery , muddy ball ,
ho never punted under thirty-five jards and
twice ran the fullback fiom the ! kick-off
'twenty ' yards.
Missouri's weak place will bo Its half
backs. Its coach , Fultz , who has been piny-
Ing such a star game In the practice games ,
ot course , will nol be allowed to play in a
league game nnd bo will bo greatly missed.
Tor the game Missouri has four men to
cheese from Dunn , Troy , Robinson and
Pepcr. These are all good and all may be
fried In Monday's game.
Nebraska was somewhat ] bruised up In the
William Jewell game Saturday , but will line
up In the same way.

"Sloan having taken umbrage , 1ms be
gun talking nonsense. There Is no other
word for one , nt least , of several choleric
statements attributed to him. Among
other thliiKH ho cuvils at the Judges' de
cision that ho did not win the Sapling
plato outright on Myakkn No doubt hu
could have won , and no doubt he believes
that ho actually did win , Instead of only
dead-heating- there are such things
as jockeys being lured by deceptive angles
Into taking1 matters easily In the last few
strides Was it not somutblntr of this sort
that cost Sloun tbe Cambridgeshire ) racu
last year with St. Cloud II. There Is
a deflnlteness about the statements
ascribed to Sloan which docs not suggest
misrepresentation and yet misrepresenta
tion Is the only charitable explanation of
the most amazing of them. When the
American claims to have- won the Hei-
mltngo pinto on Bayard II , one Involun
tarily asks if he Is subject to optical de
lusions. "

.AMUSEMENTS.
. . . .
Roland Rt-cd and hts company opened n
week's engagement at Boyd's last night In
Broadhurst's comedy , "Tho Wrong Mr.
Wright " Thet welcome extended to the play
and the players was a warm one nnd induced
a happy little speech from "In front" by
Mr. Reed , In which ho expressed bis pleas
ure at bolng hero again and told some of
his favorite stories.
Aside from the Inimitable Roland with Ms
laughable scowls nnd drawls , the bright par
ticular star of the company Is Isadoro Rush
and shf was onthuslastloally greeted. With
Miss Rush , with her charming personality
and "cute" lltUo coon songs , neatly Inter
spersed , and Charles E. Lothlun , who Is
familiar to Omaha theater-goers through his
former connection with the Woodward Stock
company , Robert F. Cotton , Sheridan Tup-
per , Charles Abbe , Mabel Florence and
others , n very dull nnd plotless comedy might
bo made Interesting and atlractlve. And In
"Mr. Wright , " which teems with terse and
ticklish dialogue and not altogether Improb
able climaxes , Mr. Reed and his people actu
ally shine. The performance was spirited
and drew a fair Sunday night audience
against a strong counter attraction the fair
at popular admission.
Mr. Lothian is seen as Lieutenant Crosby ,
a part which bo enacts gracefully nnd In
which ho has some pretty love-making
scenes. Robert F. Cotton represents "Lord
Brazonface , a degenerate , " which Is n
unique character study. It Is an excellent
piece of comedy work and noticeable in that
it is a type out of' tbo ordinary of the con
ceited English coxcomb. Charles S. Abbe
is good ns the nephew , Frederick Bond.
Sheridan Tupper has a good character
part which contributes much to the humor
of the situations. Miss Florence , Mlsa
Aletha Luce and Mary Myers , the latter as
"an unappropriated angel , " lead In the sup
port.
Isadoro Rush , "Henrietta Oliver , " the fin-
de-slcclo detective , wears stunning costumes
and carries off her part with refreshing
vivacity and Is as pleasing as ever.
The bill at the Wednesday matlneo will
bo changed to "The Woman Hater. " Later
In the week "Tho Voyagers" will be seen.
"The Prisoner of Algiers" liad Its first
presentation at tbo Crclghtou theater last
evening and Its reception must have pleased
Frank B. Llndon , one of the members of the
Woodward companay , author of tbo
piece , beyond measure. It Is one of the
strongest plays of Its kind that this well
known company .has presented here so far.
It Is a romantic melodrama and a continua
tion or sequel to "Tho Count of Monte
Crlsto. " It opens up with a prologue and
Is followed by four acts , each filled with
enough dramatic action and excl'cnient for
the average theater goer for one evening.
Tbe Count of Monte Crlsto , who figures in
the prologue , dies at Its close , but not be
fore getting tbo solemn promise of his son
to exterminate the Danglars family , which
bo goes about to do in the first act , supposed
to occur three years later. Count Danglars
secures a commission as colonel In th < >
French army for the solo purpose of get
ting Captain Albert , Monte Crlsto's son ,
court-martialed and shot. Everything goes
the colonel's way unlll time for the shootIng -
Ing comes , when Albert's lover succeeds In
getting the Turkish army to storm the
prison and release him. The next three acts
Eee Captain Albert get the upper hand and
at the close of the play his father's enemies
are dead and ho gets tbe girl ho loves. Mr.
Enos as Count of Monte Crlsto was not
given much of a chance to show his talent
In this part , as the author saw fit to put
him out of tbo way In the prologue. Fred
erick Montague as Captain , Albert was par
ticularly good In this part , which seems
admirably suited to him. Frank K. Llndon ,
the author , assumed the role of Colonel
Danglars , the vllllan , and his portrayal of
It was splendid. Hal Davis as Corporal
McKenna. with the French heart and Irish
tongue , furnished the comedy part of the
play and did It as bo alone Is capable of
doing. Walter D. Greene as Benedetto was
good , even though a vllllan. Miss Bertha
Crelghton as Eugena. Mlsa Berkeley an
Madam Danglars nnd Miss Emma Dunn as
Toinctte pleased the audieuco very much
with their respective parts.
TheTrocadero Is this week giving a
varied bill of more than common merit and
embracing pretty near the entire range of
vaudeville , commencing v\lth a comedy
sketch and concluding with Miss Gertrude
Clnrlotta Planka's exhibition with five per
forming lions. Contrary to the usual pro
cedure of trying to make It appear that the
beasts were dangerous and displaying mock
ferocity , sbo shows Just how complete con
trol can be secured of animals naturally In
tractable and ugly. She plays with them
Just like monhter kittens , feeds them raw
meat out of her hand and In every way
demonstrates that she and the flvo huge
beasts are the best of friends. Hlnes and
Remington glvo a very amusing sketch in
which is < i catchy conceit of a woman tramp.
Leo and Chapman start In on what Is n
clover farm > ard sketch , but conclude It with
what Is easily the best horizontal bar per
formance seen In the city. Some of his
leaps from bar to bar with tbo twists and
contortions en route are simply wonderful.
Togarty and Tranccsca are cake walkers
who would bo prize winners In almost any
company. There are a number of other acts
on the bill , among them Frederick Welcome ,
a balancer , who docs some difficult feats ,
Forman and Hewlett , banjo artists , and
Marie Casastello in refined songs. The enter
tainment offered by the house -this week Is
ono ot the most pleasing of any which It
has yet offered and the Trocadero will do
its full share In making the stay of expo
sition visitors a pleasant one.
