George --W. Rerge. the -candldnle of the
fusion rr'y at the last election, haa aold
an Interest In hi paper to J. M. Ievltie,
who I now the editor. Air. Berge doea not
hesitate to y he I gftlng to devote hi
lima to campaigning, though he 'hna mad
no statement for 'publication that he I a
candidate for the nomination. That, how
ever, anion those frho know liim Roe
without saying. V. ,'H. Thompaon. It I
known, haa t ha democratic senatorial hee,
while a number of democrat are partic
ularly pleased with Bhallenbergcr. and
when the convention time roll around the
.Mma man will be a strong factor In nam
ing the ticket, and he stands a good chance
of heading It. McKilllp, It I known, would
nut refuse the nomlnatlon'for governor and
would ynake a good fight, even though he
haa been figuring on running for rongrea
nguln. Mr. Hitchcock la looked upon a a
senatorial aspirant.
A nnaie which ha not been mentioned in
connection'' with the dollar dinner, but
which a number of democrat turn to al
ways lr time of need. Is the Hon. Slla A.
Ilolconlb. , Judge Holcomb Is now on the
I'ai'iflcicoast for bin health and should he
return auftViently recovered to stand the
wear and tear of a campaign some prom
inent democrats who have visited Lincoln
lately y they would liko to have him
nominated.
It ia probable at this dollar dinner the
democrat will decide whether to endorse
a candidate for the senate. Just at this
time they are divided upon this mutter, but
It IIP all be threshed out at the love
leapt. ,
School for Vaaril OfMcera.
The ai-nool of Instruction for the officers
of the National Guard will begin at tic;
Stat house tomorrow evening with Cap
tain -Crojilh of the regular a,rmy as In
structor. More than the usual Interest has
been takell In the preparation for this
school and the attendance is expected to
be large, Members of the governor's staff
are expected to be here and take part In
the school. Judge Advocate General Ehr
bardt reached Uncoln this morning from
Stanton and ha brought the information
that more Interest was being taken In the
guard than ever before. ,
Adjutant Qeneral Culver lias romplcU-d
the list of questions to be presented to the
officer for examination, and this examina
tion will be a most rigid one. Every- effort
is being made by the adjutant general a. id
his assistants to make the guard as mar
perfect as possible. -.This interest In guard
matters haa been greatly Increased djrlng
the last few weeka because of the activity
of the government in getting the reguiur
army In better shape and the many tn-
itiirlea asked concerning the guard by tin
department. It Is not only possible, but
It Is probable the government will ,bo
called upon to Increase the number of sol
diers In the orient, and in that case tin
guard may get a chance at real war.
Many of the officers who expect to at
tend the school will reach Lincoln during
the night.

tion. XKAV YORK. Feb. IS. In t lew of the
manv riisttirbhig reports appearing In the
publle Yies oneeriiing the conditions In
China and the possibility of further out
breaks such as those at Llcnchow and
Shnnghal, and th consequent anxiety of
relative and frlemls of missionaries In
China, the Mlsslonnry Society of the Meth
odist Kplscop.il Church sent cablegrams
of Inquiry to Bishop Rnshford at Shanghai
and also to representative of the several
missions of that church at Tien Tsln,
North China; Nanking. Central China
Chungking, West China, and Foo Chow
for the Foo Chow and Honghua missions.
These cablegrams were sent on Thurs
day and Friday. February IS and 18. That
to Bishop Bashford covered all the Melho
dlst missions In Chin. He recently re
turned from an official visit to the West
China mission, coming down the river
through the Central China mission, whose
chief station are on the Yanktae. In the

The response from the mission treasurer

The secretaries of the Missionary society
add to the foregoing statement the follow
Ing:
As China Is In a transition state and the
leaven of western ideas Is working In the
muss, some ferment Is to be expected; but
any general uprising such ns the Boxer
movement Is, In the opinion of the best In
formed, improbable. The foreign mission
ary. Dr. Arthur Smith, author of "China In
Convulsion," expects some sporadic . out
breaks, but does not believe that the awful
tragedy of IWst can be repeated. The gov
ernment or China Knows mat tne ven
geance of foreign nations will lw visited
with terrific force not only upon the
dynasty, but upon the empire Itself, If the
terrlhle scenes or iw were re-enacien.
The situation is delicate and calls for
nrudence on the part of the mlsslonHtleB
and precautionary measures by the soee
tles. The missionaries are on the ground;
many of them are men and women of large
experience and know how to discern signs

LONDON. Feb. 19. The Tribune's Peking
correspondent in a dispatch discussing the
growth of the American boycott Into an
antl-dynastle and anti-foreign agitation on
the discovery that the boycott has united
all parties and all faith into a common
purpose, say: As time has advanced con
trol ha passed completely from the hand
of honest merchants to the revolutionaries,
until now it ha become a great weapon
to overthrow the Manchu dynasty. Mean
while the government, energised by Japan's
success, awoke to China's low position In
the scale of nations and instituted wide
reaching reforms. Toduy the dowager em
press (a, under Tuan Shi Kai's advice, the
foremost reformer in the empire.
The mas of the people believe China
I capable of assuming Its place at the
head of nations and blame I he government
for being profnrelgn and obstructive.
Parry Dlscasaes Boycott.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 18.-D. M.
Parry, president of the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers, said today that the
board of directors of the organization bad
adopted resolutions on the Chinese exclu
sion subject as prepared by a special com
mittee of t lie membership. These resolu
tions state that It is deemed Inexpedient
under present conditions to attempt to en
ter Into a treaty with China as to Immi
gration and call upon congress to adopt
legislation as ahall correct evils and re
store friendly relations with China. Mr.
Parry said:
Organised labor ha much to answer for
In the present deplorable condition of our
relations with China. Not only ha the boy
cott enmrceq iy the guilds or tnat country
almost destroyed our trade, but there 1
even talk of war a the outcome .of the
sltustion. Organised labor Is solely respon
sible for the destruction of this trails and
will be solely responsible for Mny recourse
to arms to quell disturbances thai may
grow out of present conditions. Our gov
ernment, yielding to labor agitators, has
not only violated treaty obligations with
China in the st, but has also for years
through Its immigration department given
ii n administration of the exclusion laws
that ia a qlsrace to a civilised nation.
The facts being developed aa to the In
dtgnitiea heaped upon Chinese travelers,
ofltclals and merchants visiting this coun
try, and the outrage perpetrated from
lime to lime on Chinese subjects by gov
ernment ottlclals are simply amazing. Also
it must not be forgotten that the labor
uniona on the Pacific coast have actively
maintained boycott not only against Chi
nese labor being employed, but also against
all goods made by Chinese. Is It a matter
or wonder then that the Chinese should
now In turn resort to the boycott? In the
present situation there la only one honor
able course for this country to pursue, and
that is to rectify' present abuses and make
them impossible in the future. We cannot
complain against "heathen practices" as
long a we are guilty of similar practice
ourselves.

Captain Abrau Jones, of 174 K. 36lh
St., Los Angeles, Cat., tells an interesting
coffee story, and say he can be publicly
quoted:
"I drank coffee all my life," he says,
and took no barm, I thought, till about
10 year ago when a variety of ailments
attacked me on after the other.
'First came a disordered stonaiii, fol
lowed by palpitation of the heart which
was very severe, some attacks lasting 4
or i hours at a lime. - Then my bowels
got out of order, and I suffered from
chronic constipation. This ran on for
some year. .
'Finally I quit the drug and struggled
along the best way I could, taking the
advice of friend hut never getting ny
better. At last I wss taken so serluusly
uick that I had to go to bed and the doctor
told my family I could not recover.
'.'While I lay In this condition a friend
auggested that I quit drinking the' old
kind of cofTee and try Postum Food
Coffee to aee what It would do for me.
He said Postum had pulled him through
when he was similarly afflicted.
"I took his advice, quit toffee and
drunk Postum. and In 2 month:.' time was
In good healtlu I was so elated at the
result that I told my doctor about It. He
wasn't very well posted on facts at that
time and said that he did not believe that
leaving off coffee and using I'cstum had
anything to do with my improved health,
but that it was due to goisl medicine and
good advice from the family lu'tor; that
my sickness had worked out of my system
the dtsessed condition that had been de
veloping for several years, that I could
now look forward to good health for some
time to come, and that I had better re
sume coffee drinking, . in moderation, and
thus save my family the trouble of r.
paring an eatra table beverage every day.
'I took the doctor'a advice, atopned the
Postum and began drinking coffee again.
The reault wa that all my old trouble
came trooping back, and I wa aoon once
more seriously 111. Then I became alarmed,
and awore off coffee for good and all,
and resumed the us of Postum, and got
well again. , '
"My health I now a good a It ever
wa. My dyspepsia gone, I never have
heart palpitation any more, my bowel
are In good working order, and all th
little 111 that go with th big ones bar
disappeared.
"It I now I year sine I quit coffee
and began to uae Postum, and In all that'

In presenting to the public his excuse for
renewing the discussion of a phase of the
race question Hint has slumbered for some
time, and which a lot nf people thought
had been disposed of finally. Rev. Tommy
Dixon has decked it In a decidedly attrac
tive garb. Aside from other considerations
"The Clansman" Is really worth seeing for
Its strength as play. It Is melodramatic
to the core, but It Is good melodrama, and
ns an Interesting proposition Is worth n
bundle of the bloodless discussions we have
been treated to In the form of society
drama . recently. Mr. Dixon has cleverly
and distinctly outlined, the several charac
ters of his play, and moves them so as to
tell a tale of a day In the south when the
white race groaned In spirit and suffered
In flesh. History, cold and accurate, sup
ports Mr. Dixon In his strongest premises
and the little tinge of romance he adds to
tho story Is simply the sugar-coating on
the pill. It Is hardly probable that "The
Clansman" will be the spark that will light
a fire as did "I'nelo Tom's Cabin," for men
and women, both north and south, are In
closer sympathy today than they were fifty
years ago. or even thirty years ago, when
the reconstruction of the south wa made
complete. The social phase of racial
equality is hardly open to debate nowa
days; It has settled itself, and It Is the
hope of the wisest of the leaders of a re
united nation that the political and Indus
trial phases of the same question will be
settled without a further disturbance. Mr.
Dixon prefers to take an apprehensive view
ot their present aspects; his play 'rather
represents in this regard a personal opin
ion than a public clamor. But. even now
Mr. Dixon niuy be comforted, for If we
may read the present In the light of the
pant. It Is clear that the white race will
dominate the south. His call Is hardly to
arms.
The play tells a slory of how a young
girl from the north loved a young south
erner. Her father Is an abolitionist and a
radical and Is engaged in bringing about
equality in the south. He ha helped the
negroes In South Carolina to dominate pol
itics and society. The young man Is tho
lender of the Ku-Klux Klan. The lieu
tenant governor of South Carolina Is u
mulatto, hailed by the girl's father as a
man and brother. When the lieutenant
governor seeks the girl's hand In marriage
a great light breaks in on the father, and
he gives her to the Ku-Klux lover, who
arrives at the head of his clan Just In lime
to save the girl from the negro. Incidental
to this several very accurate picturea of
life In the south oon after the close of
the war are given. An election day scene
with a crowd of darkeys running things at
the polla Is on.
Franklin Ritchie enacts the roll of Ben
Cameron, the manly young southerner.
with much earnestness and effective sym
pathy. He has a number of chances to
oveiact. but resists them all and gives a
clean, even performance of a high-iuliided
young man through a numler of trying
situations. Mr. Tooker. too. Is quite ef
fective In the role of 811as Lynch, tho
mulatto politician. John B. Cooke's work
us Austin Stoneman, the radical leader, is
excellent, his portrayal of the zealot being
one of the best bits of acting of the whole.
Charles Avery as the pusillanimous gov
ernor of South Carolina. William Pitt
Shrimp whose name recalla the report of
the commute of visiting statesmen that
wa sent by General Grant to Louisiana
In 1871'. ulso doea some splendid work. Miss
Brownell is a very capable actress and
carries herself well In hand through some
dinicult pahsiigcs. Miss McDowell and
Miss Messereau add two well-enacted roles
to the uin of good work done by the com
pany. The negro characters, which are numer
ous, are in the hnuds of men and women
who have closely studied the negro. .Mr.
Kehrwald as Nelse and Miss Durand n
Kve are splendid iyis. and Mr. Avelin s
Aleck Is another. These three might have
stepped from one of the stories of Harris.
Kdwards or Page. Ruth McKncry Stuart
or Martha McCuihx h Williams. They are
drawn remarkably close to life and are de
lightfully droll and comical ns only gen
uine negroes cun be.
Sccnlcallv the plsy Is altractlvt, and, al
together, It Is worth the while. Whether j
It merits the bobbery that has been kicked
up bout it. the time spent al the theater
while It is on will not be regretted. "The
Clansman" will remain at the Boyd till
after Wednesday with a matinee on

interest in the presentation of "Men

company is heightened by the ap
pearance or O. D. Woodward' or tho

In the cast. Mr. Woodward beiore becom
ing a manager and proprietor In a large
way bad years of training In dramatic art.
He play the part of Governor Rodman
and proved he ha not lost ability in read

Governor Rodman as Interpreted by Mr.

which for sustained strength and dramatic
movement ha few equal In the literature
of the stage, the audience clamored for
curtain calls incessantly. Even after Mr.
Woodward had made a little speech th
call continued and miht hav prolonged
th affair no one can tell how far Into th
night if the management had not been
"af and sane."
After seeing th careful and at times
brilliant production of "Men and Women"
little doubt I possible hut that th old
Belasco and I Mtlle play haa qualities ta
keep It allv fer many more ,ears. It

made very e ffective by finished acting. Mr.

Morrison pIh.vs the role of William Pres

The wonder In connection with Mr. I.ewls
Morrison's perennial picsentatlnn of Me
phisto Is not thai he docs it so well, for
It Would he a wnmler if he rtl.ln t rlo II
well after nil these years, but that he
hs so conserved his physical .powers as
to bring to the role the flre and vigorous
senl with which he characterise it. It
would be a task for a young and sturdy
actor to accomplish what this fine old
man does, and apparently he does. It with
great ease. It might , almost seem a If
he had renewed his youth as Fatist does.
Mr. Morrison's devil Is a characterisation
that embodies the best of tho classic, con
ception of the Prince of ths Nether Realms.
He Is gay, cynical, persuasive, nnd In n
grim way charming, while over It all he
hangs the spell of his sardonic humor,
fascinating even with the h nrrnr nf nla
personality. In the opening scene where
ne temps ranst to his undoing he Is con
vincing and in the second act, where he
ssslsts In the seduction ot Marguerite, he
Is more than plausible. Indeed. It I a
very effective devil Mr. Morrison plays,
and one that will be remembered by those
who have had the pleasure of witnessing
the performance.
The company assisting Mr. Morrison this
season I a very good one. Miss Ine For
man is a charming Marguerite, and Mr.
Ftanklyn Angus almost an Ideal Faust.
Mr. George S. Trimble is quite the best
Valentine Mr. Morrison has ever had with
him, and makes the role a prominent one.
The scenic and mechanical appliance used
to produce the devilish effects during the
progress of the play are under excellent
control and are used most effectively. Two
very large audiences witnessed the pro
duction at the Krug yesterday and greeted
Mr. Morrison with much enthusiasm.
"Faust" remains until after Wednesday

The Orpheum Road Show Is making It
annual visit to Omaha this week, and the
audiences that gathered at the Crelghton
Orpheum yesterday attest the popularity
of the organisation. Two of the biggest
crowds of the season were In attendance
and apparently enjoyed each number on
the bill thoroughly. One of the novelties
of the bill is afforded by Ye Colonial Bcn
tette, peculiarly appropriate for tha week,
a the costumes and appearance of the

to mind the days of George Washington,

The Ulster and Brother Ford arc dancers
