N ".Inch O'DIiiiooiiiIm" The Redmond Stock company last night presented the sterling old pleco, "Jack o' Olnmonds," to nn audience that filled the theater and warmly applauded tho prog ress of tho ploy. It Is, to bo sure, come- what didactic In tono and some of tho selections border closely on tho melodra matic, but these did not soum to dull the edge of tho enjoyment and the production, It tho earmarks of approval may bo taken aa a criterion, was wholly satisfying. Last night Mr. Durroll was cast In the title rolo and hla work was perhaps for the first time genulnoly artistic. Mr. Dur rell Is growing every day and his inter pretation of tho characters ho assnys Is marked by a finish that bids fair to place him ultimately well up In his profession. Miss Whipple wns seen to advantage and Miss Griffith, whllo possibly somewhat too energetic, was commondablo ns Cor delia Dcnnlson.

AUGUST IN AN APRIL MOOD NuccrsNlon of .Huiinhiiip mill Nliowpr Creole tliieiiHliii'MS Aiiioiik Sun ilny I'IpiiIc I'nrtli'N. August displayed an agility In Its scene shifting on Sunday which was not In ac cord with the intabllshcd character of that staid month. Instead of tho demeanor be fitting a dying Hummer's final tenure there wns a mad frolic of sunshine and raindrops with a dash of hall Interluded in the after noon. The nun showed no disposition to withdraw during tho fall of tho hall, but kept on brightly shining n curloim phe nomenon. Tho principal 111 effect of August's April mood wns suffered by picnic parties, which underwent distress during tho afternoon. Tho showers showed a respectful considera tion for church-goers nnd held away until devoted ones had safely reached their homes. There wero many vacant pews In tho churches, notwithstanding, ns It wns dls cnuraglugly hot for attendants of ordinary zeal. Tho barbers nt the Anheuser-Ilusch park were obliged to abandon their lawn gayetlcs and prlvato partita In many cases felt tho force of tho pelting shower on summer hattt and dainty gowns. At tho blcyclo park the principal events were postponed. There were no report of hall damage re ceived at the weather otllce and the fall la not believed to be widespread. Ileforo 9 o'clock In the evening a rainfall of .69 Inches had been recorded, which was materially Increased by tho thunder shower later In tho night. Last night's thunderstorm raged on Lalto Mnnnwa with a fury that was anything but pleasing to tho largo crowd that was witnessing tho vaudeville performance In the Casino. A terrific stroke of lightning hit tho refreshment pavilion, which stands n short dtstnnco from tho Casino, nnd ex tinguished part of tho electric lights In tho Casino. This was followed by another stroko which demolished n trco on Man hattan beach. Tho pavilion was but llttlo damaged by the lightning, which ployed about tho soda fountain and struck terror to a few employes who hnpponed to bo near. Tho flerco electrical display and tho daubing rnln threatened to bring tho vau deville performance to nn end, but tho lightning abated and tho nudlenco raised umbrellas, sought sheltered parts of tho theater and remained to tho end In splto of the discomforts.

HOW THE FOURTH WAS OBSERVED (liinlnl Nppiipm und Mrrr) inuklnc In Honor of the Full of the llnstlle Crowds, Detiorhtlon mid Illuminations, PARIS, Aug. 1. (Correspondence of Tho lice.) The Fourth of July wns a great day In Paris for the Americans, who assembled at 10:30 n, m. nt the Place du Carrousol for the Inauguration ceremony of tho La fayette memorial, after which, preceded and followed by French soldiers and United Stntcs guards, Sotisa and his baud of sixty-two men, marched up the Avcnuo do I'Oper.i playing such Inspiring marches as only Sousa and his men eau play nmidsi the constnnt cheering of both Americans nnd Frenchmen who lined tho streets. Kvery other person ono met wore the stars and stripes, In fact they pre dominated to such nn extent one was nl most Inclined to wonder If tho slates had emptied their eutlro population In the trench capital, though I presume llrond- way, State street and, yes, oven Fnrnnm street looked quite as busy and full of poople ns usual. In tho afternoon nnd evening thero wero numerous receptions, both public ond prl vato. for the American contingent. Of course the exposition was tho popular re sort, though there was no Illumination that night. However, one could recoucllo one's- self to that loss after having feasted one's eyes nil day with tho mammoth American flag which moved proudly In tho French breezes from tho heights of Ulffel tower. Hut tho 4th wns a great day. (Ireatcr, fur greater, wns tho llth, tho anniversary of tho taking of tho Hastllo nnd tho greatest fete of all French fetes. Preparations for this occasion began sev eral days before, llulldlngs nnd bridges wero deccrated nnd on the outer edges of the pavements booths wero erected whero various things wero sold, such as candy, drinks, canes, posters, Jewelry, etc. Then thero wero nil sorts of gambling games going on. 1'entlvnl Cluirnct crlst le. Whorover thoru wns an nvallablo space In tho streets a temporary bandstand was built and on the ovenlng of tho 13th tho festivities began. These bandstands, dec orated with tho French colors, wero lighted by numberless llttlo glass tumblers filled with tallow. Tho orchestras con sisted of from thrijo to six musicians and thu music. If Indeed It could bu culled music, wus enough to torture the Amer ican ear. Hut not so the French. It seemed to prove Inspiring, for great crowds gathered in tho streets, unj tho butchers, tho halters, tho cundlestick makers, ono and all Joined In tripping tho light fan tastic over tho hard pavement. They danced In all sorts of costumes, from oven lng dress, bicycle aults, to rolled up sleeves and kitchen aprons. Tho French waltz is something truly wonderful. They rovolvo In ono spot nnd tho steps thoy tako nro so short and quick that it Is Impossible to toll when one Is in or out of step with her partner and so far us I've been able to Judge from both observation and experience It doesn't seem to make uny difference. I spent tho ovenlng near tho exposition nnd ivo wandered from ono bandstand to another watching tho danc ers. It was all most amusing nnd Inter esting. Near Avenue Happ, which has been tho headquarters of tho American com mission, we saw two agile United States guards giving n cakowalk for the edi fication of n crowd of interested French people. Xho dances lasted until nbout 2 a. m. About 3:30 In tho morning a party of us went to Los Hallos Central, the great market place of Paris, and I believe tho largest In tho world. 1'vo never soen a moro Interesting sight. For four blocks before ono reached Los Hallos the streets woro simply covered from ono side to the other with ovorythlng from meats and vegetables to fruits nnd (lowers. Wo would Him, for Instance, almost a block with a solid wall of carrots or cabbage or perhaps beautiful roses. Everything wns in great confusion in the stroets, though the arrangement of tho vegetables, etc., was In most delightful order. Not the least Interesting wero tho people. Hun dreds of men nnd women there working, for everything has to be in Its place by C o'clock. Somo of the costumes of theso peasants were great studlvs nnd tho bas kets which they carry on their backs tilled with vegetables aro most curious nffalrs. Diiucln Kvprywherp. On Saturday, tho 14th, wo rodo all over tho city. Tho dancing on the street con tinued throughout the whole day. All tho world was out In holiday smiles. The pave ments In front of tho cafes woro crowded with tahloi. At all of tho places there were sideshows of every sort and always one O'" moro merry-go-rounds, which woro ex tremely Interesting. Instead of tho usual horjos wo havo in the states, thero wero usually Immense white wooden pigs and rabbits. Along tho streets wero numerous very original games for child ron. Speaking of children reminds me of a group of small boys I saw and how I did long for a bunch of American flrecrnckers to give them. Thoy had a small package of powdered sulphur, a llttlo of which one small boy placed on n stono nnd then with the perspiration streaming down his faco from the violent exercise, ho took another largo stono and rolled over'lt Just to hear tho report that followed. When this report wus heard all of the other youngsters would shout with Joy nnd delight. Saturday evening was tho great night. About 9 o'clock tho city was Illuminated from ono end to the other. I think the most beautiful street was Houlovard Saint Michael. The Illuminations elsewhero wero far morn elaborate, but -not ns effective. This boulevard, known moro generally ns Houlovard "Mich," Is tho most popular street In tho Qunrtlcr Latin. It Is winding and RllcVHy on tho Inollno nnd Is lined by beautiful trees, In which wero hundreds of red lnnterns. Tho fountain nt Plnco St. Michael was prottll Illuminated, as wero all the bridges crossing tho Solne. The Avcnuo do 1'Opern was" very pretty, but tho Houlovard dos Capuctoes was far moro brilliant. Thero the crowd was very groat. All means of transportation stopped except cabs, and oven these, were frequently blockaded, as tho' peldojtrlanfl used tho street as well ns thp pavement. When wo reached the Hue do' Royal, whero tho illu minations wero most elaborate, tho crowd was so great It was almost Imposslblo to movo nlong, nnd the nearer tho npproach to the Place de la Concord tho moro dllTl cult thn progress, for here they had very line fireworks. Wo loft Just buforo tho conclusion, fenrful of th stnmpedo that followed. When wo again reached thn Place de 1'Opcra wo saw a largo crowd or people. Wo finally worked our way Into tho ring nnd there, sitting on the ground In n circle, worn a number of art students, many of whom wo recognized as frequenters of tho Luxembourg gardens.

S An Interesting session of the school board Is booked for tonight. At the Inst meeting tho approval of the bond of Frnnk Koutsky ns treasurer of the school dis trict awakened n storm which haB not yet been perfectly settled. Injunctions ngnlnst tho payment of warrants for tho building of tho Jungmann school building and n reciprocation Injunction by the con tractors nsklng Hint other warriints for practically tho same work bo not paid havo grown out of that session. . There Is n current rumor thnt tho Hoc- tor Injunction fight has been settled and thnt at tonight's meeting all tho drastic measures that havo been resorted to by both factions of tho board will bo evenly smo'othed over nnd not n scar will remain of tho controversy that has thus so suddenly broken out botweeu tho mem bers. Tho notlco that was Borved on tho school treasurer to refrain from paying certain wnrrants has, during tho lllnoss of Treas urer Koutsky, been heeded by Deputy Ous- tufson, who snys that tho warrants. ngalnst tho payment of which such n pro test has beon entered, will not bo paid until Mr. Koutsky Is ready to ngaln as- sumo his official duties. Thcro aro a number of touchers to b yet employed by tho board and theso va cancies will probably bo tilled tonlcht. Superintendent Wolf at tho last meot- Ing 3ald thoro wero several positions that had not been filled out nnd from the list of teachers employed nt tonight's meet ing theso will probably bo chosen by the Hiiperlutendent. Tho council Is also to meet tonight. No particular business Is mapped out for it to do. The nppnlntement of n city attoruoy has long been hanging lire, but It seems universally conceded that nothing along this lino will he done nt this meet ing. This Is probably duo to tho fact that Mr. Montgomery, tho present attor ney, Is out of tho city and nothing will be done while ho Is nhsent for obvious reasons. It Is said that ns soon ns ho ro turns ho will tender tho council his resig nation and ask thnt It bo Immediately ac cepted. Mr. Lambert Is his prohablo suc cessor. Thero nro n number of minor matters that will bo taken up nnd attended to. Meptlntr Wan a Failure. Tho meeting of tho Hryan-Stovenson Democratic club, which was so extensively advertised for Frldny night nnd which, in Saturday's Issue of an uptown shoot, wns reported ns a largo turnout with lots of enthusiasm" was In truth a flat fail ure. Accommodations had beon provided for n packed house. However, whon tho president of tho club appeared with tho speakers thoy were chagrined to find live or six pooplo In the houso. Tho meeting wns then adjourned for half an hour, dur Ing which tlmo democrats were summoned from tholr homes. After a great deal of work about thlrty-llvo men. women nnd children wero secured to listen to tho ex erclses and Kdgur Howard commenced to tnlk. Thero was a sprinkling of handclap ping when ho smilingly arose, but ns ho proceeded his periods wero wholly un- markod with applause; In fact, during his wholo tnlk thoro was not n rlpplo of np- plauso, and when ho sat down several looked at their neighbors In bewilder ment, as If asking when thn advortlsud political speech was to bo made. That was all thoro was to tho mooting excopt n few Impromptu talks, which wero met with tho same reception ns was Howard's talk. Thon they adjourned. It Is n conceded fact that thero Is n serious disaffection existing between the demoirnts of South Omaha. Thoy havo divided themselves into two separato bod- CASTOR I A Tor Infanta and Children. fno Kind Ycr Have Always Bought Bears Sljjuaturo V Iss, have formed two separate ill's, havo two separato headquarters nnd will hav nothing to do with the other s meetings The ono club Is cnlled the Hrynn Stovou son club nnd the othor takes only the hams of th head of tho ticket, styling Itsolf tho Iiryan club. A member or one of these clubs will absolutely not at tend a meeting of tho other. More than that they havo gono so fur as to openly ueciaro ihst they will not support tho op position club's nominee. Tho whole trouble grows out of last spring's campaign. At that tlmo thoro was n spllt-up In tho ranks whon Mr. Hrennan was nominated for mayor. Tho Iiryan club now claims that tho defeat was due to the actions of the members of tho Hrynn-Stevenson club nt tho convention. while tho llryan-Stcvenson club declares that tho other club Is composed of a lot of soreheads" nnd that they do not want to politically associate with them. Thoro seems no Immediate prospects of tho breach being cemented, although Omaha democratic workers havo beon down hero almost dally Interviewing ench of tho heads of tho factions. It would now appear that democratic meetings In South Otnnha will be tabooed by members of their own party. Hiislnrns Men Turn Fnrmcrn. Several of tho business men of the eltv ara proposing to organize n co-operatlvo mrm. iho schemo which they have ad vanced is this: Hach of the members of the club will purchnao. near some glen Bite, a few nrrcs of land nnd It will nil bo combined Into ono farm.

HOSPE, Ulilll ud All 1513 DodiIil ON GOVERNMENT BY CONSENT 1'nrt of the t olored Mini In Oip I'rps ent Cnuipnluii Is Clenrly Outlined. OMAHA, Atlg. 1 To tho lMltor of Th lieo: The duty of all law and tlberty lov Ing men Is nt once set before them nt thoy view th platforms of the two great parties that havo been enunciated. Tha veteran of tho war of tho rebolllon la particular this fall will bo called upon ns uoer before perhaps to relied beforo casting his voto. First, tho fundamental principles of the republican party ura freedom and liberty, tho cost of which In this country wns much bloodshed and tunny human lives. The cost to maintain lib. erty is otcrnal lgllnnce. Tho republican pnrty In Its platform declared that nil at tempts nt undermining the foundntlon of government "ought to ho condemned," Now let mo ask 'nil fair minded men.who think, What can disrupt n government quicker nud moro completely than to dis franchise moro than ono half of Its citi zens to keep the other half, a part of whom nro no more competent than thoso who aro disfranchised In power? Mr. Iiryan said In his speech nt Indianapolis August S: "It was Ood Himself who placed In every human heart tho lovo of liberty." Thu author of theso words, W. J. Hrynn, Is the standard bearer of the demo rratlc party, the free sliver party ond tho people's party for president. Just ono state voted this week to rob the 40,000 or fiO.000 colored rltliens of their liberty to vote. Now, If Mr. llrynn's party has tho right to disfranchise colored citizens lit ono slate they havo tho same right In overy slnto nnd n vote for tho party mentis to sanction the Tillman Idea and nn In dorsement of tho shotgun policy which Mr. Hrynn pretends lo hate. One thing may bo said of "Imperialism." Whllo It will appear harmful to all pcoplu In tho couu try It Una more terror for democrats tlian niiyouo elso. 1 nm suro that under nn Imperial government thero would bo loss peoplo disfranchised than under tho pres ent "shotgun" policy. Kvery old Boldler who will next fnll cast n ballot for Iiryan and his party will simply voto to go squnro tuck on the principles for which ho fought so nobly from IStil lo 1863. "Liberty." u free ballot and a free count In tho aoutlt would mean death to Mr. llrynn's party. Tho other class moat Interested In this fnll campaign is tho colored voters. Tho democrats and populists havo silver-coated this democratic pill so that white voters tuny swallow It without as much violence, lo themselves as to Afro-Americans. For Instance. Ignorant whites of tho south wero not disfranchised. Home whllo votern may say I do myself and people no vlo- lence when I voto with tho democrat la party, but the negro voter cannot say this. To vote with that party means to him thu full Indorsement of his own disfranchise ment; tho full Indorsement of tho separata car law, separate ticket ofllco law, tho separato chalu-guiig law, the working of women of color In the chain gang and oven other cruel laws now on tho statute books) of the south. It will menn to them tho Indorsement of such open enemies ns Sen- ntnr Morgan of Alabama and Mr. Tillman of South Carolina nnd others. Now let nil liberty loving people, all who bellova In tho rights of tho peoplo, all who bellovo In nnd want continued prosperity go to thu polls this fall and vote for tho republican nominees for president nnd vice president. Again, Mr. Hrynn, In his speech the othor day, quoted Mr. Franklin In these words; "Justice Is ns strictly duo between neigh bor nations as between neighbor citizens." Also ho says force has never yot created a right. Why then will ho lndorso tho party In forcing tho right of suffrage out of tho hnnds of the colored men In tho south for no other purpose than to per petuate his party In odlcoT "The i ommaud to go ye Into nil the world and preach the gospel to overy creature has no galling gun attached." W. J. H. No, It bus no calling gun as we seo It, but It has ono more powerful and ono before which tho democratic party ha never been known to stnnd, nnmoly, tho golden rule- "Also whatsoever yo would thnt men should do to you, do yn oven so to them." Can Hrynn nnd his party say this? Yours, for Justice and liberty, .1. C. C. OWUN4. Pastor St. John's A. M. 13. Chur.ii. The Brownie Camera. Have you seen the new Eastman Day light Loading Camera?
