"You see , madam , Ivory Soap is really the most
economical. The cake is so large that it easily divides
into two cakes of the ordinary size. There is twice as
much soap as you get in the usual cake of toilet soap.
Then it is very economical in use , for although it lathers
quickly , it is always firm and hard , even in hot water.
As it floats , you can not lose it or leave it to waste in the
bowl. We sell it to all of our best trade for general use.1'

.AMUSEMENTS.
It wlis made qullo evident to those who
nttendcd the two performances of "Tho Tiii-
tlo" at Hoyd's theater Sunday that In to.i-
C coctlng farce comedies t.ho French authors
do not wrlto for Parisian Sunday schools ,
nor are American adaptations of their skit
tish plays Intended for consumption at re
ligious society entertainments. When one
goes to a French ball ho expects to have his
hat kicked off bcforo ho gets home , and nt
11 French play ho must not bo surprised to
have his everyday morals tilted a bit sldo-
ways before the curtain falls.
There Is hardly a line dr situation In this
much talked about play , "Tho Turtle , " that
appeals to any sentiment save sensuality.
There IB not a bit of brightness In It save
the spark here and there that comes from
the putrescence that penetrates the piece
from first to last. It there was a woman
in dither ot yesterday's audiences who did
not wish she was almost any place else before -
fore the second act was half over she was
Indeed hardened or of pronouncedly "ad
vanced Ideas. " If there was any In the vast
crowds who attended the play who did not
feel the necessity for fumigation after the
wallow of French filth It was because the
tittendanco upon places of amusement not
mentioned In respectable prints has accus
tomed them to verbal vllencss nnd situations
suggestive beyond comment. It la a nasty
French farce , such as has never before been
seen upon the stage of Boyd's theater , and
H Is a good thing that the theater Is to bo
without an attraction during this week , for
It will give Manager Burgess an opportunity
to have his play-house thoroughly scrubbed ,
fumigated and aired before a respectable
play Is produced In It again.
Before the much-talkcd-of disrobing scene
In act second there was an incident Intro-
ducod , unnecessary to the scene , between tue
French maid and a gentleman friend of the
family , so vile In Its suggestlvencss and so
unimaginative In Its nl th that the disrobing
net seemed rather tame besldo It.
Briefly , the story ot the play Is that of
n man with two wives on his hands at
onco. Ho' thinks ho has been divorced from
No. 1 , but she has secured a reversal of
the decree. She tries to get him to take
her back and he refuses. Then her mother
tries a French woman's game. She puts
her daughter to bed In his room nnd here
Is whore Isabellq Evesson docs a disrobing
act 1hat has seldom , If ever , been excelled
for brazenness on any stage. Certainly
Omaha has never seen anything quite so
bad. After the- disrobing act comes the hus
band and his pantomime Is even worse than
the woman'H undressing. Following this
bridal chamber episode when the two wives
and ono husband occupy the same room
como lines 'that wcro written to bring laugh
ter by their suggestlveness. Uttered by the
two mothers to their respective daughters ,
they reek with the slime of the social sewer.
Then 'there Is n chambermaid In the play
who Is constantly Inviting attention and
anaklng cffortH to entangle herself with men.
There are some other situations and lines
that are too foul to be hinted- In a rc-
epcctablo paper.
The men and women who play the various
roles are all very clever and as far as the
juerlt of their work Is concerned there is
nothing to criticise. They are , however ,
probably hardened or heartily ashamed of
themselves ; hence names or particulars are
riot to bo printed.
For the lovers of vaudeville entertain
ment the Crelghton-Orpheum this week
offers a bill diversified In Its character and
ono that Is oven better than that presented
last week. There are but two acts upon the
bill that might be called "fill-ins , " and they
are passably acceptable.
The feature of the bill Is the artistic llt-
tlu sketch offered by Felix Morris and his
company called "Tho Vagabond. " It Is a
jmthotlc little story of a veteran of the civil
war who , through unfortunate circum
stances , has become an outcast and for a
living sells brushes and paints. Happening'
Into the studio of a kind-hearted artist ouci
day he Is Induced to tell his story , which la
hair is starved
air
Hair Vigor
is food for starved
hair.
so touching In Its pathos and so clevcry told
by Mr. Morris , who assumes the role of the
Vagabond , that his audience Is moved to
tears. The part Is ono that fits Mr. Morris
to a nicety and In It he lsx given an excel
lent opportunity to show the splendid char
acter artist ho really Is. He Is supported by
Mr. Foster Lardner and Miss Rachel Croth-
ors , both of whom are capable artists.
For laughter Barnes and Slsson como Infer
for perhaps more than any others on the
bill. Their sketch Is called "The Theatrlca
Agent , " and while there Is little In It that
would suggest the title It Is replete with
good things laughable. Both are good sing
ers and their repertoire ot songs Is well
chosen. Miss Slsson's buck dancing Is ono
of the strong features of the act and Is the
best at Its kind sncn on the Orpheum stage
as yet. Their duet , "Susan Vanduzen , " was
a big hit last evening.
A novelty 'a.ct Is presented by the Pantzer
brothers , whose acrobatic work and head
balancing are simply marvelous. One of
the features of the turn Is that of doing a
head to head balance during which they play
a mandolin nnd guitar duet and the lower
man walks up and down a flight of stairs
balancing the other upon his head.
A novolU- musical net Is offered by Es-
meralda , who plays zylophone and violin
solos whllo standing on one foot upon a
swinging wire. She plays popular ns well
ns classical music that would bo very diffi
cult If she were on terra firms.
Hnnley nnd Jarvls do an up-to-dato talkIng -
Ing and singing specialty full of new jokes
and good lively comedy. They are clevur
entertainers and their singing Is not the
least feature of their act.
Maud Meredith Is a charming comedienne
with a good voice , which she uses to ad
vantage In tjlnglng several songs , some of
which arc quite difficult. ,
Lester and Stevens , eccentric acrobats
and dancers , complete the bill.
VISITED THE EXPOSITION
( iroiiniln mill HiillclliiniH Are Thrown
to I'nlille Inspection
Sunday Afternoon.
The Greater America Exposition grounds
formed the center of attraction for a large
crowd ot visitors yesterday afternoon , who
appeared anxious to sco what Is bclns done
In preparation for the coming exhibition.
The- buildings were all open to Inspection
and the crowd spent the afternoon In wan
dering through them and about the grounds.
Cara wcro packed with visitors the entire
afternoon , threatening clouds causing no
fear 'that ' the trip would prove a damp one *
A large force of workmen has been em
ployed on the grounds for some tlmo nnd
the effect of their presence Is noticeable
everywhere. Considerable curiosity has
been manifested concerning the durability
of the buildings and visitors yesterday ex
pressed surprise at the excellent condition
In which they 'were found. The directors
had them opened for Inspection and there
was nothing to hinder the pedestrians from
seeing everything there was to ho Been. The
grand court was a popular resort , as usual ,
while each scorned anxious to know what
wonders will be otTt-rea for the amusement
loving public on the Midway. Employes
about the grounds were kept engaged In
answering questions regarding the altera
tions to be made and the displays which are
to fill the buildings.

was In ruins. Tbo proprietor estimates his

Thirty-One Prisoners Waiting for Trial in

POSITION OF JAILOR IS NO SINECURE
lie nnil III" AftNlMnnti Imil n I.Ur of
U'nti'liftilncRK Sonic of
the I'tMipItNoiv Itchlnil
the line * *
Visitors to the Douglas county Jail may
abor under the Impression that the position
of Jailor Is a sinecure , because ho Is often
found In his office apparently taking It easy.
A little experience wduld change 'their opin
ion greatly , because whllo there are mo
ments when the Jailor may sit down nnd
rest , ho and-hU assistants lead a life of
watchfulness. They may not have any desperate -
porate criminals In their custody , 'but Just
ns much care must bo taken to prevent a
break from occurring. For this purpose a
double watch Is maintained during the day
when visits to the Jail are more frequent
and 'the ' attention of ono man Is devoted
to defeating any effort to provide prlBoners
with tools with which they may tct out
nnd also being present when attorneys or
friends call upon some prisoner At night
one man looks utter the Jail and his tlmo
Is fully occupied.
U Is seldom that less than fifty prisoners
are confined In the Jail , serving out sen
tences Inflicted In the police court or await
ing trial for felonies In a higher tribunal.
At 'the present tlmo thirty-one prisoners nro
watching patiently for the coming of the
ordeal In the district court when they must
answer for crimes which they are charged
with having committed. The federal court
will have seven men brought before It within
ten days.
Tlinxu Ilolilnil tlio lliii-M. .
None ot the prisoners are charged with
very serious offenses except John Kerr ,
whoso trial Is now In progress. Ho U ac
cused of the murder of John Reid , his
father-in-law. The others awaiting trial In
'tho ' district court are : Lowell Adalr , forgery ;
Rolla Sprinkle , Frank Thomas , Martin
Dlxon , William Connelly , James Ryan , Jeff
Jones , Luke Long , burglary ; Ernest Ray ,
shooting with Intent to kill ; Thomas H.
Coolcy , cmborzlement ; Julia Rhodes and Kit
Burke , larceny from the person ; S. Benson ,
stabbing with Intent to kill ; John Dell-
bridge and Cy Button , grand larceny ; Albert
Smith , conversion as bailee ; John Mason ,
burglary and grand larceny ; Frank Johnson ,
alias William Nixon , highway robbery ;
Frank Johnson , forgery ; H. J. Moore , ma
licious destruction of property ; Ulysses Bos-
tlder and Louis Hauschlldt , Illegal fishing.
Julia Rhodes has been tried and found
guilty , but a new trial was granted her.
Jeff Jones entered a plea of guilty at the
last term of court , but sentence was de
ferred. Kit Burke also entered a plea ol
guilty , but Is awaiting a second trial.
There Is nothing particularly promising In
any of thcso trials , unless it bo found in
that of Cooley , when he is brought up for
embezzlement. He waived preliminary ex
amination and the fight will be Indulged In
when his case Is called. He Is accused ol
having appropriated something llko $2,000
whllo ho was cashier of the Omaha road.
Lowell Adalr worked a pretty smooth
scheme when he was out of jail and suc
ceeded In eettlng some money to which he
was not entitled. He found that an Omaha
man had some money lu an Iowa bank and
wrote the cashier for a remittance , which
was promptly sent. Adalr secured the money
and thoucnt the snap was so easy he mlghl
as well have $500 more. This tlmo the bank
was suspicious and began a little Investiga
tion. The draft was sent and Adalr nnd n
partner were arrested. Adalr was caught In
the bank presenting the check , whllo his
partner fell Into the tolls near the postofflco.
The second man escaped punishment whllo
Adalr was 'bound over. Adalr Is a youns
fellow -with one arm.
Rolla Sprinkle was the most offensive ol
any ot the burglars. Ho entered several
houses before ho was caught , one Infrac
tion being particularly flagrant on account
of 'his indecent conduct in connection with
the breaking. Julia Rhodes Is a notorious
colored crook who had half a dozen charges ,
preferred against her before a successful
case was made. Kit Burke Is a tvhlto
woman with one foot In the grave as the re
sult ot dissipation and clgarretto smoking
Luke Long Is an habitual Inebriate and en
tered a meat market to steal something
which he could dispose of to obtain money
with which to purchase drink.
Of those to bo tried In the federal court
three are accused of changing the denom
ination of currency. They gave the names
of W. V. and W. D. Houck nnd O. AV. Ken
nedy. They were sent up from Falrbury.
Richard Porr and Harry Eby are accused of
selling liquor to Indians. James Twin
awaits trial on the charge of selling liquor
In the Indian country. John -Domasu will
plead to a charge of selling liquor on a
government reservation without license.

There Is an ancient and dreadful sword

The funeral services over the remains of
ho late Dorsey D. Houck were held nt the
amlly residence , 2016 Spruce street , yostcr-
ay afternoon and wcro largely attended.
Vll ot the county and city ofllclals were
irosent to do honor to the < lead man nnd

ounty and city offices were well represented ,
'he services were under the auspices of
Ouster Test No. 7 , Grand Army of the lie-
nibllc , ot which the deceased was n mem-
> er , and the Women's Hellef corps No. 62.
Rev. T. J. Mackay of All Saints' church
ead the beautiful and simple Episcopal
Itual an\l spoke briefly. Ho said In part :
"There can bo no sting In death , cspc-
lally to such a man as was Dorscy U.
louek , full of years nnd possessed of the
steom of his fellow men. The death of
his grand old man was as natural ns the
ailing ot the leaf from the tree In the an-
iimn. The rcecs wither and leave us , yet
vo do not mourn for them , for wo know
hey will return lu the spring. And so It
s with Dorsey Houck. Holll meet us In
ho great beyond and welcome us to that
hore. Wo can only put away his body his
oul Is at rest. On fame's eternal camping
ground he Is answering the- roll call of that
great commander cheerfully and Joyously ,
lo was a noble , true , bravo man , unlvcr-
ally beloved for his uprightness , consclen-
lousncss niul honesty of purpose. "
Judge Bstolle , for Ouster post of the
Grand Army of the Republic , spoke touch-
ngly ot the deceased. Ho referred to his
remarkable record ns a veteran of two wars
and said ho would speak no words of ful-
Bomo prnlso or flattery. Ho expressed the
lope that as ho approachcil the cold waters
of the stream we nil must some day cross
10 might bo greeted with the salutation ,
'Hall , comrade , hall ! " from the other side ,
and might give back 'tho answer Joyously
and proud , "Hall , comrade , hall ! "
At the conclusion of the services the
frlenda of the family were given an oppor
tunity to view the remains as they lay
peacefully at rest In the casket draped
with 'the ' flag ho loved nnd for which he
sacrificed so much that was dear to him.
Thurston rifles No. 2 , under the command
of Captain Hayward , headed the procession
.0 the cemetery and 'Were followed by a dele-
jatlon from Ouster post of the Grand Army.
3n cither side of 'the ' hearse and acting as
the escort for the remains , was a firing
squad of High school cadels , under the com
mand ot Captain Frank Hughes. When
Forest Lawn was reached the. ritual of the
Grand Army was recited nnd the flag service
of the Women's Hellef corps performed. The
firing squad fired the usual three volleys
and the bugle sounded taps.
The pall-bearers were Mayor Moores ,
Judge Fawcett , W. S. Strawn , Leo Estellc ,

AS SEEN BY FUNSTON'S ' MEN
oil the Ilattlc of Cnlooehu
from the Twentieth KIIIINIIH
llrKimcut ,
About a year ago CE. . Ady , the well-
rinown Insurance man , whllo visiting Topeka -
peka , became Interested In one of the bright
members of the Twentieth Kansas Volun
teers , who were then being mustered In , nud
asked him to write him about his first en
gagement. To Mr. Ady's surprise and pleas
ure ho has Just received a letter from his
protege redeeming the promise. From the i
letter , which la signed by Robert D. Max-1
well , corporal of Company A , Twentieth )
Kansas , the following extracts arc taken :
"Dear Sir : I doubt very muh whether or
not you can recall my name or my face , but
ono year ago when the soldiers were In
Tcpeka , Kan. , I promised to write you a
tow llnea after our first engagement with
the enemy.
"If I say little about the other regiments
except my own It Is because I know little 1
about them and their movements as I was
kept pretty busy In my own regiment , but'l
< lo know that each and every company In
the Philippine Islands has tlouo nobly ,
whether It was on the firing line or guard
ing In the city. As soon as the firing opened
up It spread like wildfire and soon ex
tended around to our lines. Then wo were
called out. Our company was left In town to
guard headquarters 'but ' later on the luck
was on our sldo and wo were sent to the
firing line with a train of ammunition. I
knew that I was going to bo on the firing
line and"I felt nervous , but so far we 'had '
not felt shaky. Soon after we reached the
line and tahlnir our train behind a largo
building they opened up flro on us , and our
boys answered , and then I shook and made
a good job of It. iMy knees would not re
main quiet and my hips tried to tear them
selves from my body. I have heard old sol
diers talk about the whirr of bullets and
the shriek of bursting shells , but at that
time I could not agree with them. The
funny part of It was tliat I supposed I was
the only coward and the only one that felt
so Impressed whenever a bullet came nearer
or a shell exploded quite close. But do you
know I spolto to most every fellow In our
company and the whole lot shook until It
was hard to speak without losing some teeth
or biting one's tongue.
"Tho major gave me ten men and sent mo
back to town for more ammunition , and thu
rest of the company went on the firing line.
We had no more .trouble there for a while ,
but returning with the ammunition wo were
fired on three times nnd had .to kill three
natives. Sharpshooters were In every church
tower and on top of the houses. Wo soon
got orders to shoot every man seen on a

train for three days and In the meantime our
lines advanced steadily , leaving the woods
filled with dead natives.
"I will try to give you an Idea of the bat
tle of Caloocan , In which our regiment took
a strone part. Caloocan Is a town about
six or seven miles from Manila , or , I should
have said. It was a town , for now It Is a
heap of ashes. Our lines were about two
miles from Caloocan , lying in trenches
awaiting the order to advance. At 3 o'clock
the order came * to be prepared for an ad
vance. At about this tlmo Dewey opened
up , sending shell after shell Into the woods
and town in front.
"At 3 o'clock Dewey stopped firing and wo
advanced , every man going over the trench
with a bound nnd starting forward. Wo
had not gone far when we were flrcd on from
houses and trees and from behind the
trenches. Wo advanced steadily on until
we heard the trumpet say , "Charge on them ,
boys , " then with a yell that In moat cases
would raise the dead wo started on a run
with the bayonets fixed. The natives could
not stand this and left the trenches filled
with dead and wounded. But wo did not
stop here. We could flee the tower of Ca
loocan church , and so still advanced wading
rlvors nnd sometimes through mud up to
our waists , never stopping unless It was to
shoot a sharpshooter out of a tree or to put

Some of thorn would fall as though dead and ,
after wo had passed , would climb n tree and
shoot every soldier that passed that way.
Even the wounded would rise up and shoot
after we passed. This lead to nil order to
take no prisoners , but to shoot all.

here , but charged on and on until dark.
Then we stepped and threw up trenches just
outsldo of 'Malabon. ' Since then wo have
done nothing. I think our leaders are waitIng -

will go across the Island , unless the natives
see fit to give In before then. After the bat

and In one place saw as many as thirty dead ,

fcerved yesterday .by the lodges of the city ,

covered with flowers and emblems of the or
der. In the afternoon elaborate services
wcro conducted at Hanscom park , attended
by a larco number.
The day set apart by the order throughout
the country for the decoration of graves is
the first Sunday In May. It has not been
regularly observed In this city , but It Is
expected that no neglect will bo detected In
the future. The decoration of graves was del
egated yesterday to committees from the
various lodges , each lodge looking after the
graves of Its own members. It Is estimated
that between seventy-five and 100 wore vis
ited. In the afternoon at 2 o'clock the
lodges met at the central hall , corner Fif
teenth and Douglas streets , nnd proceeded to
the park. The procession , four blocks in
length , was led by Past Master Workman
Dr. II. A. Worley and the Omaha Military
band , under the leadership of W. L. Dod-
son. SJx uniformed teams were represented
and nlno lodges.
At the park a large number of friends of
the order were present to listen to the serv
ices. Past Master Workman Worley made
a 'brief address , which was followed by an
Invocation by Past Master W. II. Wonham.
All Joined In singing the opening ode of the
memorial service. Past Master Workman
Lyman Searles delivered an appropriate ad
dress , which was followed by an address 'by '
Past Grand Master Workman J. W. Carr on
the good work accomplished by the organi
zation In Omaha since Its Inception. Pant
Master Workman Worley delivered the rit
ual address provided for such occasions.
These services were interspersed with sev
eral selections by the band.
At the close of the formal exercises the
crowd dispersed , to reassemble at a mouml
on the hillside where the symbolic decora
tion with the emblems of the order and
wreaths occurred. Here the band played a
prostration , sleeplessness , general debility ,
headache , overwork nnd heart trouble ren
dered my life most miserable. 1 took all
kinds of medicine , employed physicians and
advertised preparations , but none of them
helped mo. Finally I heard of Dr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine nud Now Heart Cure
and began using them. A few bottle * ot
these wonderful medicines vero sufficient to
brnco mo up nnd tticy eventually restored
mo to good health. "

Gus Johnson Is the mtmo of a hobo'who
purloined a check for ? 31.S5 from a money
drawer In Wearno Brothers' safe. Johnson
came to the city afoot via 'tho ' railroad
track nnd Jato Saturday afternoon passed
Wearno Brothers' foundry at 1409 Jackson
street. The door of the firm's olllco was
open and the room was deserted. The door
of the safe was open too and Johnson saw
the money drawer partly pulled out. The
ehaneo was too good to bo missed , so the
tramp entered and ransacked tha till. There
was no money in sight , hut among a lot of
uncndorucd checks was ono payable to a
person who had endorsed It In blank. That
made it as good as money , and Johnson
slipped U Into his pocket and made his
escape.
'When ' the theft 'was discovered the police
were notified and Detectives 11 colon nud
Hudson were detailed to find the robber.
They met Johnson on Ten'th ' street and ar
rested him , having obtained his description

tramp had endeavored to cash the paper ,
The check was recovered.
