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. fa m pea Will Come Home. Oeorge L.

CABLEGRAM FROM BISHOP BASHFORD ft e port I nter rth. ( eatral. West ( hlaa, Koo ( bun and llonghna Mission Sta 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 late full he spent some weeks In the Foo Chow and Hlnghua missions. In the south where there has been the most agitation among the Chinese people. The bishop' cablegram, dated February 11, is reassur Ing. It I as follows: All are safe In China. No dimger ap. parent. BASHFORD. The response from the mission treasurer In North, West and South China, dated February 17, are of like tenor to that from the bishop: Tien Tsin No disturbance. Safe. Nanking No trouble anywhere. Foo Chow Foo Chow and Hinghua quiet. Chungking All quiet. Not . letter received recently at the missionary office from ny Methodist mis slonary In China speaks of any trouble or exeltemctvt among the Chinese, or ex presses any apprehension of n outbreak statement by "eeretary. 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 or coming Hanger, u ts sare 10 reiy on their Judgment. Bishop Bashford la In Shanghai keeping careful watch over the safetv of our missionaries. He will be quick to see signs of danger and give warn ing. Aarltatlon la Antl-D naatlr. 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. Remarkable Progress.

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' time I , hav not paid en cent (or medicine." There's a reason. " i AT THE PLAYHOUSES -Th9 riansmaa" at tbe Floyd.

Thomas An orderly Earl 1-ce Commissioner James Martin 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 Wednesday afternoon. Men nnd Women" at the Burrrood. interest in the presentation of "Men and Women" by the Woodward Stock company is heightened by the ap pearance or O. D. Woodward' or tho Woodward A Burgess Amusement company 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 ing linea impressively nor outgrown stage presence of no little worth. . The role of Governor Rodman as Interpreted by Mr. Woodward I not one of much "acting" a the term I populitrly applied, and th viril ity ia given by the reading. Barring a slight Imperfection in articulation this oflV was performed faultlessly, th two speeches In which Mr. Woodward was niOHt effective being his confession, first to his daughter' fiance, and second In the presence of the officer of the bank. After the third act. 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 action Is brisk and logical, the dialogue ! good, the sentiment sincere snd the moral ity of Unquestionable probity. ll deals with old materials In the weskness of man snd the love of woman, i Mr. Oaen Is the villain, but with every ; hall mark of the gentleman. HI part Is made very e ffective by finished acting. Mr. I Todd Is a strong Kdwsrd Seahury. par I tlculsrly in the denouncement secne. Mr. Morrison pIh.vs the role of William Pres cott, th" real defaulter, nnd In the slrng gle between saving himself and tils friend accepts opportunities for good emotional work. An event that gave .the Rurwood potions no little pleasure was the retitrn of Harry tmg to the cast, lie played dual parts, those of Arnold Kirk and Pendleton, and In loth was clever. The comedy Is Inrgely In the hands of Mr. Solinfleld, who plays Colonel Kip. and Mr. Simpson, who Is Sum Dellafleld, Both have congenial employ ment and their reputations profit thereby. Most of the women wear aMmctlve new gown. Certain adjectives have done serv ice for Miss Lang so often that it Is only necessary to say there Is no falling off In her work or personal charm. Miss Isa dore Martin, who has been seen but little, made n decidedly favorable Impression as Dora Prescott. Miss Hill. MNa Ward. Mis Davis and Miss, Hudson are all cast to advantage. "Faaat" at tbe Kmc. 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 night, with a matinee on Wednesday. Vanderllle at the Crela-hton-Oruheam. 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 men and Women J this aot bring strongly to mind the days of George Washington, whose anniversary falls on Thursday. This company plays with much skill on a num ber of instruments, and render a num ber of old-time airs a well a some of the modem In a way that pleaaea greatly Merlana dogs still enact with much re semblance to humanity th story of "The Unfaithful Wife." This little drama Is uproariously funny as done by th four footed actor Jules and Ella Garrison have a burlesque which they etyle "An Anclont Roman." It particular but Provide .in,.. r i..u ter Edgar Blxley sings a number of paro dies on popular songs In a good voice and iciis some lime stories in an Indifferent way. Winona Winter Is dainty llttje vocalist who thoroughly deserves all the applause she evoke. Her voice is pure and sweet ami her manner is charming The Ulster and Brother Ford arc dancers of enilneiK-e and prove a strong feature of the bill, and the bicycle riding of Camp bell and Johnson proves that this sort of funmaking has not yet lost its power to please. So great has been the demand for seats that an extra matinee will be given on Tuesday afternoon In order to accom modate those who cannot be taken vare of at the other performances.
