AMUSEMENTS.
"A ,ulilr Onlrnxl."
Tho Redmond Stock company looks like a
winner. Last night's nudlenco was one of
the best that has attended thus far and, If
one mny Judge by tho usual signs, there
wore few In tho house who wero not pleased
with the play and with tho manner In which
It was presentod. The piece offered oppor
tunltlea for good work that wero taken ad
vantage of by tho members of tho company
and the production, while weak tn somo re
spects, was, on tho whole, fairly satisfactory
Tho characters were well assigned, the
scenic Investiture was wholly admirable
and the costumes wero quite Irreproachable.
Tho leading role, that of the noble out
cast, was taken by Mr. Redmond and It was
admirably done. Ho Is, almost without
knowing It, an unctuous comedian and, when
not under tho necessity of repeating long
speeches, reads his lines as well as nine-

The vaudcvlllo specialty glvon by Miss
Darlington was refined nnd praiseworthy. As
much cannot bo said for tho one that pre
ceded It, whllo tho other painful nttempt at
this form of amusement was about th
worst that has ever been seen west of the
Missouri river. It waa absolutely Inane
pointless, without merit and coarse to the
point of vulgarity. In Justice to the peopl
by whom it wan given, however. It should
be said that the nudlenco was pleased am

The council, sitting as a board of equali
zation, will meet this nfternoon for tho pur
pose of coming to somo decision on the com
plalnta filed by A. L. Dennett. At a secret
meeting of tho council held Saturday after
noon It was proposed that tho assessed valu-
tlon of the packers and the stock yards
company bo Increased $50,000 each. Johnston,
Dvorak, Clifton and Tralnor favored this ac
tion, but Adklns, Miller. Martin nnd Fltlo
were opposed and tho voto being a tie It
was declared lost. Then a proposition was
mado to cut the proposed Increase In two,
nd this nlso failed because ot a tlo vote.
Mayor Kelly was not present at this secret
session.
Those of the council who voted against
tho Increaso favor allowing the assessed val
uation to remain as turned In by the county
commissioners. Some decision will have to
bo reached today as under the law tho coun-
II must mako the levy tonight, and beforo
this the valuation will have to bo deter
mined. Illils for removing garbage, dead animals,
tc, will bo received by the city clerk until
r o'clock this nfternoon and It la expected
that the council will open these bids and
possibly award n contract bo that the pro
visions of the new garbage ordinance may bo
enforced at once. As soon as contracts are
entered Into a reduction in tho rates for the
removal of dead animals, garbage and night
noil will take place nnd It Is expected that
claims of extortion will cease. Printed
cards showing the rates allowed by ordinance
will be distributed and gurbago contractors
will bo compelled to show one of these cards
to customers when performing work desig
nated In tho ordinance.
It Is rumored that a change In the head ot
tho II ro department will be made. Mayor
Kelly Is reported as having said that ho
would, at tonight's meeting, name L. F.
Utter ns chief of the fire department to suc
ceed F. M. Smith. A couple ot changes In
the police department may also be made.

Some tlmo ago tho suggestion was mado
that the city trade Highland park for Syndl
ca'.o park In order that a park suitable for
the use ot the people might bo acquired, Tho
plan Is not favored by those who reside In
the vicinity ot Highland park and It Is now
suggested that the city proceed to secure
possession ot Syndlcnto park and at tho
snmo time retain the little park on the hill
It Is understood that $25,000 Is asked for
Syndicate park, which contains eighty acres
ot ground. This sum Is reasonable ns com
pared to the price asked five years ago,
which was $60,000. It Is proposed by those
Interested In securing a park that the city
voto bonds for tho purchase of this park.
A park In tho western or southwestern por
tion of the city Is also suggested. Dy pro
viding for a park In either the Third or
Fourth ward It Is stated that residents In
this section would bo willing to voto for
bonds for tho purchase of Syndicate park
On account ot tho financial condition of tho
city at present and in tho face of n high tax
levy It may bo deemed advisable to defer
this matter until a more auspicious occasion.
However, It Is expected that tho attention
ot tho municipal officers will be called to
the matter In a communication beforo long.

ON PLATFORMS AND PARTIES

"What the democratic party Is going to
do for plans for Its platform this year God
Almighty atono knows, unlets possibly Dryan
does."
Judgo Ren S. Daker made this statement
tn an address on "Conventions and Plat
forms" delivered before a well-attended
meeting ot the Patriotic league Saturday
night. Ho traced the policy ot nominating
conventions and platforms from their origin,
calling attention to the exUtence of po
lltlcal parttea long beforo the Introduction
of these methods.
"Now new Issues have arisen," said Judge
Baker. "The democrats have taken up the
1'hlllpptno question and the trusts. Why,
my friends, long years ago a republican
legislature In thla state enacted Into
law on anti-trust measure. It stands on
our statuto books today, but I have yet to
see any ot tho shattered remains ot trusts
rattling around to remind us of the ob
servanco of the law. It la truo that our
great trust-smashluc democratic attorney
general baj beon making same grandstand
plays, but he has accomplished nothing, and
ho has no hindrance from republican courts.'
Judge Haker spoke at some length upon
tho events leading up to the Philippine Is
sue, He showed how careful and deliberate
had been ovcry step taken by the adminis
tration and described tho manner In which
events had shaped themselves that pa
triotlsm and love ot flag and country had
compelled tho Philippine war. He spoke
ot tho complex conditions existent In the
Philippine Islands, tho largo number of
tribes, tho Internal strife and warfare that
would arise were they granted the privilege
of self-government now. "The republican
party," ho said, "Intends to do the honor
ablo thing with the possessions and the peo
ples that have virtually been thrust upon
this country as the direct result ot a war
undertaken alono "for humanity's sake.'
That It .will accomplish the desired end Is
assured from Its former record of reliability
and honor when great questions have been
Involved, With William McKlnley and
Teddy Roosevelt the republican party Is
certain of a glorious victory this fall and
the country ran rest Just as certain that
with thcae two leaders the party will give
all the people a glorious administration,"
Preceding Judge Daker, Senator Currle
ot Sargent spoke briefly, though Insplrluxly
of the nattering outlook for republican sue
ecu In this state this fall.

LEXINGTON. Neb., July 1. iSp itlal.)
This town has been In a furoro ot ix l.cment
for several days over tho arrest ot parties
for violating tho Slocumb law. For about
ten da)s two detectives, one named It. D.
'lerson of Omaha, tho other John A. Ucn
amln of Grafton, have been oporatlng hero
for tho Anti-Saloon league. On Thursday
morning Sheriff Hoys, with a corps of ai-
Istanbs, mado simultaneous raids on thro
resorts, finding liquor In each one. This
find was followed by tho arrest of toven
parties, charged with selling In oxlcatlng
liquors without a license.
It will be remembered that Lexington
voted "dry" this spring. Tho parties were
taken beforo Justice Ilenedlct, where ton
dlfleront comptatntA wero sworn to against
them by Rev. D. W. Crane, pastor of tho
Methodist Episcopal church, representing
tho Antl-Satoon league, and Jacob Wandllng,
Tho defendants all took a change of venuo
and tho cases were taken before JusMco
Turtnn, who convened bis court In tho court
bouse.
All day Friday and Saturday were occu
pied In the preliminary bearing ot tho ensj
gainst P. B. Coaney. Tho attorneys for
the prosecution were W. A. Stewart, county
attorney, assisted by B. A. Cook. Tho at
torneys for tho defendant were H. D. Rhea,
H. n. Flcharty and O. C. Olllan. Tfce
case was hotly contested from start to
finish, tho court room being densely packed
during the examination, the Woman's Chrli-
tlon Temperance union being out In force.
Several episode occurred during tho trial
that greatly Interested the spectators. Too
court was several times obliged to subdue
applause tbat would burst out first on one
side and then on tho other. At the con
clusion of tho evidence tho defendant was
bound over to the district court for trial,
after which, on application of tho defend
ants, the other nine cases wero continued
for thirty days. The testimony of the two
detectives was very severely eomincntcl
upon by tho defendants' attorneys, as tbey
testified that they wero paid by tho day
by the Anti-Saloon league and furnished
money to buy liquors nnd play pool.
Tho nrrest of the alleged saloon keepers
has aroused a deep feeling throughout the
entire community and the Anti-Saloon
eaguo declares that It will not let up until
every violator of the Slocumb law U brought
to Justice. It is charged that lager be r
la belnir sold without fltlnt under the name
of "malt mead," a temperance drink.

Nebraska's area Is serious enough to merit
public attention. Letters come every day
to the stato offices or state entomologist.
telling ot the rntds of chinch bugs nnd grass
hoppers and asking for assistance In fight
ing them, especially for Infected chinch
bugs, which In past years have proven ef
fective In spreading disease among those In
sects. At present State Entomologist Druuer Is
mailing from ten to twenty letters n day In
answer to such appeals. Each one ot tbom
contains a type-written slip staling that tho
United States experiment station fund can
no longer be used for tho purpose and that
the Nebraska state legislature has made no
appropriation therefor. In other words, the
great state of Nebraska, losing thousands ot
dollars dally from Insect pests, Is unable to
spend a few hundred dollars for the pur
pose of fighting them with tho weapons of
modern science. The parasite enemies of
both chinch bugs nnd grasshoppers have
proven tho most effective defense. Just now
rof. limner has received a tube of grasshop
per "parasite seed" from South Africa, but
e has absolutely no funds at his disposal to
propagate and send out tho same the total
allowanco for tho year being $73, not
enough to cover postage.
Now, cannot the great und rich state of
Nebraska meet this emergency? Cannot the
regents of tho Stato university mako a spe
cial appropriation from the other university
funds to help the farmers ot tho state fight
tholr enemies? If they will not, cannot the
railways furnish Prof. Brunor tho necessary
means? Very truly, A .E. SHELDON.

FARNAM, Neb.. July 1. (Speclnl.)
Harvesting baa Just commenced on the
rye crop, which has suffered less than any
of the small grain. Rye Is regarded a tol
erably sure crop here. Fall wheat will
probably yield a small return. Tho rye nnd
fall wheat are less affected by grasshoppers
and chinch bugs tVan the other grain. Oats,
barley and spring wheat are a posltlvo fall
ure the two former grains are being cut
and ground for fodder.
Corn never looked better at this season
and tbat which has been kept clean and
free from weeds promises well. Pastures
ure drying up, especially In tho region south
ot here, and tho situation becomes dally
more and more grave.
