tors at tho tamo time Instead of electing
ono first and tho other afterward and tak
ing chances on electing no second ono at
oil. In nn open ballot tho advnntago lieu
also in holding a brake on the fuslonlsts
hould they attempt to Jump In. If tho roll
were cnllod first for ono senator and again
for the second It Is easily conceivable that
the fusion members might Jump In at tho
tall end and leave tho republicans hanging
In tho air. The simultaneous ballot worked
so Well today that tho alleged objections
previously urged havo been badly punc
tured. After holding two scislons the Joint rules
committee appointed yesterday at tho con
ference of republican members tonight re
ported that It was unable to agree on cau
cus conditions, lly a voto of five to four
tho commlttco favored n double ballot, but
there was a still wider division on tho
number that should be reuulred to rule In
the caucus, the various propositions rang
ing from forty-thrco to sixty. Tho result
' of tho deliberations wns reported to tho
caucus tonight and tho committee retired,
ponding further consideration of plans by
that body.
Committer Is DlnclinrKril.
After hearing Its report tho republican
caucus discharged the rules commlttco and
adjourned without fixing a date for another
meeting.
Messrs. Luflln and Mockctt asked to be
relieved from further scrvlco on the com
raltteo, but the other members expressed a
deslro for moro tlmo to present a final re
port. The caucus thought there was but
little likelihood of tho committee ever ar
riving nt nn ngrecmcut, and consequently
rellevrd all of tho members. No other
business or matters wero discussed at the
caucus.
. About 200 citizens of Lincoln mot at the
Cnnltal hotel tonight and passed resolu
tions, tandorslng the candidacy of I). E.
Thompson, a copy of which was presented
to tho latter by a commlttco hended by I.
M. Rnvmond and W. D. KltzRcrald.

Another voto challenged In the notice nf
contest Is ono cast by ono who the con
testant claims wrote Ills namo across the
back of the ticket. This ticket Is not pro
duced In evidence or examined by tho com
mittee, but as to whether or not It Is
marked as charged nr that It was voted
for Hodges, as claimed. Is left entirety to
oral testimony. Thn Judge who had posses
sion nf thn plain ticket swore In his opinion
It was voted for Johnson, the clerk and
another In their nplulnn It was voted for
Hodgs. All of this testimony Is objected
as Incompetent nnd not 'ho best evidence
by tho contestec. ami your committee In
plst that such testimony Is Incompetent,
yet without tho examination of the ticket
tho majority of this committee find that
suld ballot was cast, was so mnrked nnd
wan a bnllot cast and counted for Hodges;
that It wns Illegal and they threw It out
and thus Illegally, us wo claim, reducing
Hodges' tnujorlty,
Agnln, the contcsteo Insists that the con
testant Johnson cannot he seated for Un
reason that ho Is disqualified from holding
the said nfllru by tho constitution of tho
state of Nebraska, for the reason that he
was nt the time nf his nomination nnd elec
tion, and long subsequent thereto, a holder
of n lucrative olllco In the said county of
his residence, tn-wlt: A member of tho
board of supervisors of said county, having
been duly elected and qualified nt the time
of his nomination for thn position ot statu
senntor of the snld Twenty-eighth sena
torial district, nnd held the same until
after the last election: that It Is udmltted
In tho evidence that the said supervisor
district embraced more than one township,
and we Insist that the same Is a lucrative
ortlco under the laws of this state and does
nut come within any of the exceptions
enumerated in tho said constitution.
Wo therefore Insist und most respectfully
submit that the said contestant has nut
miHtiilui-tl thn rluirirrs nr anv nf them IIDOtl
which this contest is based, and Unit the
contestee, II. Hodges, Is entitled under the
law to retain his seat.
We further insist the said report of the

It 8oems somewhat presumptuous for
Mr. Seabiooke to cull his latest comedy
creation a comic opera. It la rather n
farce-comedy with u preponderance of
dlalogito and Just enough music to Justify
the presence of n chorus, And It were
better thnt the latter designation be used,
for as a comic opera "Tho Itounders" ran
hardly he considered In tho rrd-rlbhon
class. Vlewel In the light of fnrcc-comcdy.
however. It is entitled to recognition ln
that .It Is amusing nnd entertaining.
Tho utory of "Tho Itounders," ns related
through three nets of dialogue nnd song, Is
n leaf from tho dlnry of Mnglnnls I'aeha,
nn Irish Turk, who betakes himself to
Paris, clad lu the habiliments of n Turkish
nobleman, but nil Irishman through and
through despite his disguise. Ho Is lu
search of n popular ballet dancer whose
picture has como Into his possession, nnd
whom ho seeks as nn addition to his col
lection of 100 wives.
Arriving. at a summer resort near Paris,
ho finds n young French marquis, married
to nn. American heiress with a pronounced
religious instinct, who Is likewise In love
with tho ballet dancer. Tho two learn of
their mutual ndtnlratlon and leave post
haste for Paris.
Tho second sceno Is thnt of the dancer's
dressing room In n Paris theater. Without
Indulging in the formality of obtaining
permission from the box nfllco Mnglnnls
nnd tho marquis gain ndmlsalon to tho
dressing room. Tho Inttcr's wife, learn
ing of her husband's mission to Paris, fol
lows him to tho theater and contrives to
nrocure n costume Identical with thnt of
the ballet dancer. She proves herself a
rollicking young woman, even though horn
In Philadelphia, and Mnglnnls fulla In love
with her. Determined to repay her hint
hand In his own coin bug accepts the at
tentions of the pnBha until he becomes
helplessly Inebriated nnd then leaves htm
to the mercy of n love-lorn old woman who
serves as the ballet dancer's wnrdrobo mis
tress. The marquis eventually discovers
that his wifo U qulto ns charming ns he
had dreamed nono other could bo hut thu
bnllct dancer, nnd a happy reconciliation
folllows.
With this somewhat slender thread ns
tho origination Harry U. Smith has com
posed n fairly ontortnlnlng comedy. It
Is by no means up to his best efforts nnd
thero Is not n great deal to commend In
tho hook. Occasionally thero Is a briskness
nnd brightness In tho linos, but for the
most part the dlnloguo is dull nnd tho
lvrlcs somewhat doleful. What llttio music
thcro Is In the pleco Is of the catchy order,
hut Is not destined to bo immortalized by
tho whistlers.
It Is .somowhnt unfortunate that " Mr.
Seabrooke has not tho advantage ofirbef-

DYSPEPSSA.
Geo. S. Scally of 7f. Nassau St.. New York,
Bays: "For years I hnve been troubled with
rheumatism and dyspepsia and I came to
the conclusion to try your pills. I Imme
diately found great relief from their use:
I feel like n new man since I ommnnced
taking them, and would not now be without
them, The drowsy, sleepy feeling I used tn
have has entirely dU.ippeared. The dys
pepsia has left tne and my rheumatism Is
gone entirely. I nm satisfied If nny one so
afflicted will give Itadwny's Pills a trial
they will nurely cure them, for I believe II
all comes from the system being out cf
order the liver not doing Its work,"
