SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
The last Rrand rally of the present cam.
palgn was held at Ilium's hall last night
Kvcry neat In the hall wai occupied and
many were compelled to stand Senator
John M. Thurston. Congressman Divld 11.
Mirror and James H YanDusen were the
principal rpcakers. These who occupied
seats on the stage with the speakers wore :
T. L. Matthews , candidate for auditor of
state ; George Mcllrlde , county surveyor ;
James Walsh , Hon. A L Sutlon , Harvey
Moscly , Henry C. Mtirphj , Charles J. Green ,
Edgar C. Snyder. private secretary to Sena ,
tor Thurston , and Captain Janus Austin.
Captain Austin ncted as chairman and In
troduced Senator Thuiston nn the first
upenker.
As the senator stepped to the front of the
platform IIP was greeted with chcvrs In
his Introductory remark * Senator Thurston
excused himself for the condition of his
voice , ho being verj hoarse. Some one has
said , continued the speaker , that there art )
Issues In this campaign. He did not know
of an > except to stand by the McKlnley ad
ministration. Free sliver talk was not
heard any more , and there was little loafing
on the street corners now. The reason for
this was that everybody was too busy to
Indulge in politics us u pastime. Two years
ago the democrats and populists said thai
there waa not money enough In the countrj
to do buslners. It was because there wa
little business to bo done Stop and thlnli
of thi ) remarkable change In the condition ol
affairs In loss than two > ears. The gen
eral condition of o\ery man , woman am !
child from ocean to ocean Is better todaj
than It was two years ago. The business
of the railroads has Increased wonderfullj
in two jearw. Then trains were nearly nl-
wnvs on time because one-third of tin
freight trains lu the country were rotting
on sidetracks and one-third of the locomo.
lives were rusting In the roundhouses
Now It Is seldom that trains run on tlm <
bccaiiho of the lmmen e amount of traffli
and freight business to be handled Ever ;
engine wheel Is turning and there is a ca ;
famine. If accidents do happen with mori
frequency than a couple of years ago It 1 :
because the train crews are tired out will
overwork. Ilnllroads are the thermometer ;
which show the condition of the eountry
When trains arc kept busy hauling crop
east and manufactured articles west It I
a sure Indication that business Is nourish
Ing Business has Increased fully CO pe
cent In the last two > ears , the bank tlo.ir
Ings showing It By January 1 Nebraski
will have paid off $100,000000 of Its Indebt
eel ness , and has mole money In Its troasur ;
today than over under a democratic admin
Istr.itlon. Reports nf hank failures nov
were few nnd far between. Our product
biought better prices nnd an upward ten
dency was evident In nearly all lines o
business. Continuing , Senator Thurston gal
that If people study UIP question they wll
find out that national prosperity depends o :
ono thing. The country Is prosperous tlia
has enough daja' work for Us people. A
the present tlmo nearly ewcry man tha
wants to work could find It and that i
what made prosperity. The republlcai
party has always declared that In order t
Imve true prosperity the labor to bo don
for the people of the United States shouli
be done by Its own people under the Star
and Strife * . Two jenrs ago \tho ralamlt ;
howlers said that If the gold standard wa
adopted all of the gold In the country wouli
go to Curopo. Slnco McKlnlcy has occuplei
the chief executive's chair Europe has sen
to the United States $230,000,000 more goli
than had been sent there This Is ovldenc
that frco silver Is a fallacy. Again , thes
same howlers said that prices of commo
dltlCB went up and down with silver. Th
reverse has been proven true. Under thl
administration prices have gone up whll
silver had steadily gone down. "They don'
talk that way now , " said the speaker , "the ;
abuse republican candidates nnd republlcai
success. " In connection with the Spauis !
war , the Rcnatoi said that the SpanN
peace commissioners are walling anxious !
to leatn the result of the elections In thl
country. If McKlnley' policy Is endorse
by the people , an early nettletnent can b
looked for , but If the \otcrs of the. Unite
States refuse to stand by this policy , the
Spain hopes to appeal to the money power
of Huropo and try to force us to acced
to Its i1 cm a nil s.
i U has been a wonderful year for thl
t | country , continued the penator We hav
won much and our armv and navy hav
f | been the aijnlratlon of all the > < .orlil. Ther
Is much to bo done yet. Wo cannot gal
advantage of our victories wlthon * wls
legislation and a republican congress I
needed to assist President McKInley In hi
work. The members of the house ot 101
rescntatlvcs nnd the senators to be electe
must pass the laws nnd tike care of ou
new possessions. Inlcuv of the glorlou
record of the republican pirty this pnwe
should be placed In the hnnda of staunc
republicans H was time , he irald , for mete

In congress to pass a bill allonlng th
woldlcrs In the field to vote This ineasur
wa- < opposed by the democrats and cons <
nuently the boys In blue who arc at th
front are deprived of their votes. Thei
ought , Mr , Thurston said , to bo cnoug
patriotism Mt at homo to make up fc
the voteh of the bojs who are detains
at the front and deprived of their votes I
the democrats. While it Is possible , coi
tinned the speaker , for the colonel of th
Third Nebraska to come home to vote
Is not possible for the , bnjs of that reg
ment to enjoj the same elective franchls
a condition made possible by a democrat
senate. The McClcary bill , which the fuslc
I
n ! papers are raving about Just now. wi
briefly explained. The senator said tint i
bill would ever papa a republican congrn
which would take greenbacks out of tl
hands of the American people This r
mark was gn-etcd with rounds of applaus
As for the state ticket the senator said
was a good ono and ho urged the vote
to support It The condition of his vole
ho said , prevenle'd him from talking at at

his remarks Senator Thurston was hcartl

speaking of hla opponent Congressman Mer
cer Mid that Hitchcock had stated that
ho Intended to be fair , but of late he had
been slinging mud. He nskttf why. If the
things which Hitchcock alleges were true ,
he received the support of thn World-Her
ald In his previous campaigns It was a
fact , said the speaker , that Hitchcock did
not support Doane , Boyd or Duffl , choos
ing himself Instead of the democratic candi
date" Now that Mr. Hitchcock was a can
didate hlmscTf the shoo won on the other
foot In conclusion Mr. Mercer said that he
believed he would get moro democratic
votes In Douglas county than Hitchcock
would.
James H. VanDitfen spoke briefly He
said that It was the duty of every man who
lives In the United Btatcs to first bo loyal
to the nation. After that bo could Ira loyal
to his party. Every man shouM vote for
what he believed to bo for the best Inter
ests of the people. H this were done there
was little doubt but that the republican
ticket would come out victorious. He-
thought that the best Interests of the people
ple could best be advanced by the repub
licans The history of the republican party
\\fin sketched and the speaker said that
every ono ought to be- proud of the mag
nificent progress made. Mention was made
of the state ticket and all were urged to
vote for republicans at the polls today.
The other pcakers were T. L. Mathews
and Joe Koutsky.

In "Tho Countess \ah-ska' the Um.ilii

legion , saw her In a character entirely for
clgn to anything hitherto presented Prob
ably nothing that Mio hns ever given thi
public pleased to a greater degree than th
now lomnntlc diama which Omaha hean
for the first time last evening. U Is by tu
means so difficult a character as several li
which her nrt has charmed , though 1
serves to present n new facet of the gen
whoso brilliancy had previously been ad
mired. With Its military trappings , th' '
glamor of a great name and a touch of tin
heroic "The CountCbs Vnlcska" requires i
largo cast , though to but few Is It glvei
to Hhlnc. The Eccue Is laid near the battle
ground of Frledland , time Juno 11 , 1S07 , th
night before the great contest In whlcl
Napoleon vanquished the Russians. Th
Countess YnloKka Is u Polish woman , th >
widow of a Prussian nobleman She Is decpl ;
In love with a cnptaln In the Prussian arm ;
though her Intcnfcc love and lojnlty to he
downtrodden native land embitter he
against his nationality and make her i
worshiper of Napoleon , who was considers
a friend of her people. Her lover and hi
command are haul pressed by the Frencl
and separated from his command he take
refuge under the walls of the castle of th
countct-s. who discovers his plight , admit
him to the castle , securing hi
safety by Installing him in th
gtiito of the manager of her estate an
Bceretlng his uniform. The great Napoleor
whom the counte s worships as thesnvlc
of her country , makes the castlp his abed
on the night before the great battle Achli
von Lohdc , the Prussian captain , Inspired b
bis Intense love of his own country and b
hatred of Napoleon , who had crushed It , an
spurred ou by his father , who hail gallic
entrance to the castle In the guise of a slier
herd , plans to kidnap Napoleon. She bef
him to Mek safety In Might before the ilnvvi
but he refuses. The plot Is discovered t :
the emperors aide-de-camp , Marquise
Sturmell , who Is also enamored of tl
countess. Thiough this situation dovcloj

treason and brings In the aimed guar

rest. Thp entire scene Is one of Intcn
passion , long sustained , and makes a stroi
call upon even MlbS Marlowe's wonderf
powers. That she Is able to meet It wl
such full measure was expected by tbo
who have watched her career of console
tlous effort and study of difficult ShaKn
perean roles and who know and apprecla
the great natural gifts with which bhe
endow wl.
Hobart Dosoith In the difficult role
Achtm von Lohdo admirably sustained I
part In this powerful scene , which Is ma
doubly difficult by the length of tlmo ai
dialogue which 1s requlrod to develop
John Blair , with the little less dlfflci
though much moro subdued role of t !
Marquis von Sturmell , rounded out the a
by aitfully sustaining his part. The curtn
falls on an Impressive tableau as the guar

The remainder of the company Is of su
a character that the performance Is r
made inconcruous by the slighting ot EOI

are such as to make It po fe-ct In detail M :
Marlowe has never surrounded herself

while she has been Identified In the past ,
stated before , with greater plays than "T
Countchs Valeska , " she has never been mi

pletely demonstrated the versatility a
