more lights," he continued, "and are anx
ious that the club push the matter with the

Someone suggested that the' matter be
referred to the committee 6n lights, but
Mr. Morlarity objected to 'having o' im
portant a communication buried In com
mittee and moved that the committee' on
lights be Instructed to present the -subject
to Alderman Evans before the next meet

and It was amended to the extent 'that all

Wolf's hair was pomfoTtabiy-filled last
night by an enthusUstlo crowd of republi
cans on the occasion of the regular meet
ing of the Eighth Ward Republican club
The meeting was somewhat late in being
called together, but tile early part" of the
evening was devoted to visiting and a sort
of reunion with the candidates. It was
8:35 o'clock when Chairman Scott called
the meeting to order.' Mr. Corn well acted
as secretary In the absence of the regular

A number of candidates. were present and

The principal speaker of the evening was
Nelson C. Pratt, president of the Sixth

that his address Would be more particularly
directed to the ' candidates. He was
first not favorably disposed to the system
of primaries to be. adopted this year, but
he had since channel! hlul mind and no

COTTON READY FOR ACTIVE WARFARE
American Vessels Arranste to Land
Men to Protrpt I.lfe and Property
When Governor Sends Gasrd
for Foreigners.
BEYROOT, Syrfa, Sept. 28. (Correspond
ence of. the Associated Press.) As this dis
patch Is mailed, the titua.ion, at Beyroot re
mains unchanged, there being a great feel
ing of uncertainty.
The correspondent of the Associated Press
called on board the United States cruisers
Brooklyn and San Francisco yesterday, and
found them armed camps. -The blue Jackets
and marines were In readiness to land at a
moment's notice, amunltlon filled their belts
and arms were stacked on deck. Rear Ad
miral Cotton Informed the correspondent
that 'he was rreparcd to give Americans
and Europeans in general the fullest pro
tection possible.
Fortunately the fanaticism of the peo
ple has not yet gone so fur beyond bounds
as to cause them to attack foreigners, but
business Is at a standstill, the atreets are
deserted and the shops are closed. Guards
to watch the American mission property
here were furnished by the. government last
night. Had the governor refused, Admiral
Cotton stood ready to land BOO men if
necessary.
Light In Dark Places.
The American ships played .their search
lights on the city. Illuminating not alone
the property of tha Syrian Protestant col
lege,, but also dark alleys and byways fre
quented as a rule by shady characters. Th
disturbance here began on the night of
Friday, September 4. A murder waa com
mitted in Beyroot, which waa by no mean
an unusual thing, but In this Instance, a
native Christian killed a Moslem. The next
morning the Christiana In the community
became much wrought up over th affair,
and a genuine fright prevailed.
"Now the Moslems will go out tonight,"
they said, -and five Christians will die for
th Moslem that is slain."
On Saturday night and on the Sunday
following, there waa an uprising against
the Christians in different part of the city.
But not only five were killed; thirty per
sons were massacred In one quarter, and a
reign of terror was Inaugurated throughout
the whole city. A visit to the scene of the
greatest slaughter found a, Turkish officer
dead on tha ground, another wlh blood
streaming from a wound In his face, while
in the homes of the neighborhood, victims
lay dead or writhing In agony. -
On Sunday morning a church was at
tacked in the same neighborhood, -while
service was in progress, but no one waa
killefl. ...
Panic stricken, the" Christian fled frtrni
the city, or remained In their home behind
barricaded, doors, . while Moslems, armed
with clubs, revolver and knives paraded
the streets and fell on a.ny chance victim
that came their way.
Helen of Terror Prevails. '
Monday found the situation -no better.
AH day stores remained 'elosed, the streets
were deserted and ' business - came - to a
complete standstill. People remained at
home, -afraid to venture out, and one or
two who did so were knifed for their
temerity, "
The foreign resident had not at first felt
any great personal dnnger, but the attempt
In assassinate -' the AmeHrnn vtna nn.mi

were Incidents not calculated to "give any
one too great a sense of security and the
arrival of the American c-ulsers In the
midst of these trouble brought great relief,
especially 10 tne foreign residents of th
city.
It Is difficult for the native Christian in
understand why his people are permitted
to be put to death when a shot or two from
these cruisers lying- In the harbor and
representing a Christian nation, strong and
mighty, might settle tho whole question.
He does not stop to reason abput Inter
national law. the rights of other nations
and the policies of conservative govern
ments. He only knows that his people are
dylnn and that here at hand are the means
wii! l?ht save them from death.
. .iup of Political Reform.
Those who, are interested In the welfare
of Syria are indeed hoping tht aome politi
cal Teform may be Introduced at Beyroot
and that they will' bring new hope and
larger life to Its people. When, after the
massacres of 1K6Q, the Lebanon district waa
made a province of an autonomous govern
ment and a Christian governor whose ap
pointment had to be ratified by the powers
Beyroot wa not Included within that prov
ince. Thu Beyroot, a Christian city, is
ruled by the Turks. -
rWhlle the Moslem element In the city
are not Turks, they are adherents to the
sultan' religion and loyal to hi govern
ment In principle, hence they receive the
support of the government In a large meas
ure in all religious controversies and politi
cal disagreements. And thu is the Chris
tian cjty of Beyroot 1 compelled to submit
to misgovernment and persecution.
Not long ago the Associated Press corre
spondent mad a trip through the Lebanon
district. He drove over splendid roadsnd
through cleanly villages and looked into
the face of a happy people. Everywhere
he beheld evidence t thrift and good gov
ernment. But he noted the absence of
many young men from the villages.
"Where are th young men?" ho asked.
"They have gone to America," was the
reply.
And not only the young men, but many
families had gone to America also. Some
had gone and come back and told marvelous
talea of the new world and its opportunities.
Wherever the correspondent went there
was scarcely a fumlfy It seemed that did
not have a representative In th new world.

One Payment to Treaanrer.
During the three and a half years of
Judge Vinsonhaler' Incumbency In the
office of county Judge but one payment h'is
been made to the county treasury, It being
$606.53 on January 10, 19C2.
Pursuing still further, it may not be
generally known, but It is nevertheless a
fact that the county judge appoints all
appraisers' In cases where land Is condemned
under tha law of eminent domain for rleht
of way of railroads and other corporations,
and In cases where the owners of con
demned property are not satisfied with the
appraisement made and an appeal I taken
the amount of the appraisement placed on
deposit with the county judge remains in
his possession until flnel decision has been
rendered by the higher court. Thus It often
happens that considerable sums of money
remain In the hands of the county Judge
for some time, In one Instance the sum of
$1,700 was tied up for over four years on
appeal to the diutrtct court on suit begun
In 1898.
An examination of the land condemnation
record books shows that . at the present
time there are several enses where money
is tied up In the hands of the court, In one
case, that of the Omaha Belt Railway com
pany against Catherine Farrell et al, the
cum of $2,290, awarded by the appraisers on
March 16, 1903, is still In the hands of Judge
Vinsonhaler, the case having been ap
pealed to the district court. Asked as to
the disposition of this money remaining In
his hands, which from time to time amount
to considerable sums. Judge -Vinsonhaler
replied ; that they are deposited In -bank
to hlff credit as-county Judge, but that they
draw no Interest.. , , :, ;
Tha bookkeeper of the county Judge's
office were cither unable or unwilling to
furnish Information concerning the amount
of money on deposit with the county judge,
claiming that it would take considerable
time to ascertain the total amount. The
same claim was made regarding the amount
of money held In trust for estates In pro
bate. I'nelalmed Witness Fee.
Another matter Inquired into waa In
regard to the reporting of unclaimed wlt
ns fee by th county Judge. Th pro
vision of the statutes In regard to un
claimed witness fees are as follows:
Chapter xxvlll, Bectlon 89: That Jn-U
cases where witness fees shall ba paid to
the clerk of the d. strict court, county Judge
or justice ot tha peace, in pursuance of
Judgment of any of said courts, and shall
rsmuin In their or either of their hands
uncalled for by the parties entitled thereto
for the period of six months after the same
have been puld in as afureuuld, it thail be
the duty of the said clerk, county Ju-lg-j
and justice of the peace, to prepare a lut
under oath of the causes in which shU
fr have been uald and remain uncalled
for, with the amounts In each cause and 1
the date of judgment, and present and tile -the
same with the county commlBaionera
of their respective counties on the first
Tuesday in January, April, July and Oc
tober in each year.
Chapter xxviil, flection 40: Atl fees re
malntng In the hands of such dltjtrict
clerks, county judge or Justice of the peace
for the period of six months after tho
same haa been reported by them to the
county commisatoners shall be paid over to
the treasurer of the county, who shall re
ceipt In duplicate for tho same, and one
of which receipts shall be fllfd wluh the
county clerk, and all such fees shall be
credited to the common ' school fund of
the county.
47ourt I pholda Law.
In a recent decision of the supreme court
In the matter of unclaimed w.tness fee
th constitutionality of tha provisions of
the statute ar upheld In the following
language:
The law In regard to unclaimed witness
fees provides that in all rses where wit
ness tees shall be paid to th county judge
and snail remain in ma nanus uiK-ai.eu iur
tor the period of six months, a report of
the same under oath shall be made to the
count v cominlush n-r of the county. '1 he ,
commissioners wlihln twenty days alter tha ,
nllng of the report are to pjti.isn a notice
in aome paper of general circulation for
two weeks, that the faos If not called for I
in six montlut will be paid into the com-
mon school tund of the county. It 1j made
the duty of the county commissioner to .
commence suit agilnst any other and his
bondsmen who falls to pay ovor to the
county treasurer the wl neaa f -es r-poru-d
hv him and not called lor by the uarty en- i
titled thereto within six month, after the
same are remirted to the county commis
sioner a above provided.
Inquiry at the county treasurer's office
disclosed th fact that no unclaimed wit
ness fees had been paid Into the treasury
by Judge Vlnaonhalur during either hla
first or present term, and the further fuct
wa ascertained that no report of -unclaimed
witness fees had ever been made
by him to the county commissioners as re
quired by law. Inquiry at the county
Judge' office as to why no report had ever
been flltd of these unclaimed fees and as to
the total or approxlmata amount of such
fees now on' hand wo met with the asser
tion that the county Judge had been un
aware of the existence of the law relative
to the reporting of unclaimed witness fees,
and It was further claimed that to ascer
tain their total amount would necessitate
a considerable amount of labor In searching
through the various records of th office.
Nor could Judge Vinsonhaler or his clerks
glv even a rough es.lmate of the amaunt
of these fees, some of which they as
serted had been turned over to Judge Vin
sonhaler by his predecessor, Judge Baxter.
It will be seen that with the exception of
quarterly report there I no check or
record In the auditor' office by which th
county can keep track of the various trust
funds In th keeping of th county JuJge,
nor 1 there any method of bringing on a
periodic, turning over of th money belong
ing to the county or to litlgaat.

To the theater for a sermon? Yes; when
the piny Is "Ben Hur."
For what draws us again and again to see
this play, but that we are anxious to see the
fruition of hope, the lifting up of the suf
fering and the miserable to the glorious
sun-lit heights, to witness again the "re
surrection and the life" as illuminated by
the cleansing of the mother and sister, of
the preservation of th brother; of the
defeat of the powers of darkness, aa rep
resented by tho daughter of Kgypt, and
tho victory of good, as embodied In the
sweet and gentle Jewess? It Is the Btory
of Christianity, symbolised as only the
adaptation of modern methods to the pur
pore of thtf preacher ran symbolise any
thing so abstract In Its nature; It la vary
abstraction, presented in the most con
crete and tangible form. And whether or
not thd sermon goes home Is not now the
topic of debate; It Is the sermon, and It I
but a mild expression to say It Is most
Impressively delivered.
It Is not a special source of pleasure to
turn from-the themo of "Hen Hur" to con
sider Its treatment In detail, nor will such
an undertaking be here entered upon. Tho
production must be considered as a whole,
and as pitch will ba dealt with in this
writing. "Ben Hur" tells . a Btory that
would-be absorbingly Interesting, were It
dependent solely on Its human aspect for
Its support; but so delicately has the di
vine been interwoven with the merely hu
man, and so reverently and with so much
regard for the aspect of the Intelligent
mind toward the mysteries of religion, that
the atory has almost Come to be recognized
as at least supplementary to the teachings
of the churches. In this, that I shows
the way; points out how doubt can be re
solved, how unfalth can give way to faith,
and how rest succeeds unrest, when the
ambitions - and aspirations, the longings
and desires of earth have been put aside;
and what reward comes to those who will
only trust.
In Illuminating the text of the atory
of the house of Hur, and the fortunes
of It representatives, the dramatist ha
chosen the high lights almost exclusively,
and ha handled them with rare skill and
effectiveness. It Is a peculiarity of the
book, that after the keynote has once been
sounded, 'it lends Itself readily to the use
of the dramatist. Thla keynote la the love
of Judah for his mother and sister. It
typifies llf. Iras comes In as the temp
tress, Esther aa the good angel who leads
him back to light. All .the other in the
play, a In the book, are Incidental. In
the production much attention. Is paid to
tha religious element that pervades the
story, and this I really the motif that
run through, tha whole talat . never ob
trusive, yet. never lost sight. of. From the
beautiful opening tableau,, Showing the
Wise Men and the Star . of Bethlehem, to
the closing scene, where the palm-waving
multitude chanted a song of praise to the
Nazerene, while . the restored family of
Hur knelt in acknowledgment of their
trust In Ood and their faith In Hla Bon
a the Messiah, wtth . all the Intervening
scenes, the setting of the play I most ar
tistic. Scenery and equipment la all new
this season, some of it having been used
for th first time here, and other part
but a week ago at Toledo, so that every
picture is bright and distinct, and all are
given with that finish that come from
year of experience In stage-setting and
grouping for a single play. The chariot
race, the sensational Incident of the play,
Is produced with even greater realism than
last January, when first seen here, and
waa rewarded by a great outburst of ap
plause. Yet this .triumph for realism waa
as nothing to the victory for Impression
won by the final scene, when the audience
at silent for a space at the lowering of th
curtain, and then slowly left tha house.
The company, too, is nearly new for
Omaha. In some respects It Is bettered. Mr.
Payne does not bring physical proportion
to the part of Ben Hur such a did Mr.
Farnum who had the role last January,
but Mr. Payne is an actor, and he render
the difficult role In a most Intelligent and,
at times, really Impressive manner. Miss
Anthon' Amrah is excellent, and Mr.
Wrlght'B Slmonldes Is a worthy bit of act
ing. Miss Ella Duncan was called upon
to assume the role of Ira with little prep
aration, owing to the sudden Indisposition
of Mias Reed, who Is regularly cast for the
part. I'nder the circumstance Miss Dun
can's presentation waa very good. She
suffered some from nervousness, due to un
familiarlty with the part, but aside from
thla wa moat acceptable. Mr. EthUr'
Menus. la was, particularly in the seen just
before the race, an ideal Roman patrician.
Other In the long cast so conscientiously
and creditably achieve what Is assigned
to them that it Is only Juntlce to Buy the
piece Is much better acted as a whole than
it was last season. Even the local contin
gent contributes to this result.
The theater was more than comfortably
filled last night, only the boxes being
neglected, and sum of those ware occu
pied. A has been the experience of all
how that open promptly at the adver
tised time, the curtain went up with the
parquette only about half filled, th first
tableau being mlfcaed. and the first act
much Interrupted by the lute coming at

GOOD WEATHER FoT CROPS
Fnrornble Conditions Help the Torn
Crop and Facilitate Fall
n owing.
The crop report given out by the Bur
lington official for last week states that
the soil ha been generally satisfactory
nd that light rains were reported during
the week on the Cheyenne line and south
ot Alliance. Elsewhere there was very
little precipitation, but In these localities
additional moisture was not needed. Tho
weather has been favorable for the fall
plowing and seeding, and tha plowing I
well along In t'he eastern part of the ter
ritory. A large amount of seeding waa
done during the week In the eastern ter
ritory and considerable seeding has b?rn
done further west. A great deal of the
wheat on the western division is already
out of the ground and growing. The, In
dications are that there will be much more
wheat sown this year than last year. Only
a very small part of the grain remain
unthreshed.
The weather In the eastern part of Ne
braska and Kansas has been warm and
dry and very favorable for mnturlng the
corn. In the western pnrt of the oorn ter
ritory the weather was colder and less fa
vorable on account of one or two light
frosts. The corn east of Hastings, Red
Cloud and Grand Island, that might other
wise have been matured, was very sltghtlj'
damaged by the frost. The east end of th
Alliance division hod about SO per cent of
the late corn damaged to some extent and
south of Alliance from IS to 25 per cent of
the crop I aomewhat damaged. None ol
the late corn la so seriously damaged as nol
to have a value for feeding purposes. On
the western division there was some dam
age to the corn by frosts during the week,
especially on the Cheyenne ltne, but there
I comparatively little raised In this terri
tory. The harvest of sugar" beefs has begub and
the crop I meeting all expectation. Pas
