In 1831 th American people were free, but they held In their hands the land tools of slaves. They had to labor and sweat In the fields, with the crude Implements that had been produced by ages of alavery. For two generations the sickles, flails and wooden plows, with which they had tried to build up a prosperous republic, had held back agricultural progress. Let us try to reconstruct mentally the America of those days. Enterprise was not then a aatlonal char acteristic The few men who dared to suggest Improvements were persecuted as enemies of society. The first Iron plows were said to poison the soil. The first railroad was torn up. The first telegraph wires were cut. The first sewing machln was smashed. And the first man who aold coal In Philadelphia was chased from the state as a swindler. Even the railway was a dangerous toy. The telegraph waa still a dream In the .brain of Morse. John Peere had not In vented his steel plow, nor Howe his sew ing machine, nor Ho his printing presa. There were no stoves nor rastches nor ' lamps. Petroleum was peddled as a medi cine at 11 a bottle. Iron waa 75 a ton. Money waa about as reliable as mining stocks ar today, and all th savings in all th banks would not now buy the chick ens In Iowa.

That a whispered warning In the park by the ghost of his dead wife saved him from death by assasslnatloa is ths belief of Charles Henry Durand, a farmef living In the hills near Caldwell. N. J. His Strang story is being used as clue by th au thorities, uurana says tnsi isie Monaay. night, as lie was driving home from Pater- son, his horse began to tremble. In vain he urged the animal to proceed. It would not budge. ' Suddenly th air grew oppressive, and a faight light like distant heat lightning ap peared. Then gradually, amid the dim flashes a while figure assumed vague form beside the wagon. Durand himself commenced to Quake. He tried to dismount, but his limbs refused to obey his will. After as Interval the apparition In white spoke in a whisper. He recognised In fear and trembling the voice of his deed wife. "There is danger at home. Stay away till morning." th vote said. Cold chills crept over Durand. Scarcely had the supernatural warning been tittered when the ghost vanished. It took the farmer, some time to recover his nerve, and then he found the horse would not take a atep forward. He took oft the harness and, after twoHiours' work, brought the animal out of its chill and slowly proceeded home. Though badly scared, he did not put much faith in the warning that had been whis pered to him In such an uncanny way. So long had Durand been delayed by his ad venture that it was daylight when lie reached his farm house, which has a lonely location. Putting his horse In the stable, Durand entered the dwelling. He noticed that a window on the ground floor which he had fastened waa unlatched. Next h discov ered muddy footprints on the floor. As he wss about to go into his room, upstairs, he saw a string stretched across th open doorway near the floor. It was Just high enough to have caught his foot In entering. Standing to one side Durand hooked his umbrella handle over the string and gav It a Jerk. A flash Inside the room was accompanied by a report and a bullet buried Itself In the wall of the hallway opposite the door way. Durand then ran Inside his room and found that the bullet had crime from a pis tol fastened to the top of his bureau. The trigger had been connected with the string across the door. The shot would have struck him In the breast had he touched the string with his foot on entering the room. Dursnd, who moved from the west five years ago, says some one. whose name he will not divulge, had lain In wait for him all night at hia home, and would have killed him but for the warning he received from his dead wife's spirit.

The diligence of the South Omaha police force bids fair to depopulate the criminal colored population of the city. Detective P. H. Shields discovered Jess Walters among the prisoners In the Omsha )sll yesterday afternoon. He Is. wsnted In South Omaha for burglary. Walter was arrested Wednesday noon In Omaha for taking $1.40 from a cripple. He e-ava bis name as Henry Johnson In Omaha. Shields went to Orru.ua In .search of this man and happened to inquire at the Jail. The description fitted , so well that Shields took a look at the negro and a man he had taken to Omaha to Identify the negro. If found, had no difficulty In recognising him on the spot. As soon as the Identification was complete, Walters confessed to robbing th pawn shop of Dave Brown. 513 N street, early Christ mas morning. He also set the building kflre but he denied that he had Intended to do it. He claimed it must have been an accident from the matches he used. Walters appeared very anxious to recelv his sentence. He said: "I don't want no long trial, and I won't make no trouble. I want to git wha' Ps gwtn to aulck!" This apparent eagerness made the officers think that posaibly a far more serious crime may be the urgent reason, and that Walters wants to get Into the peniten tiary, hoping to avoid further suspicion. He will be kept until any such case may be looked Into. Walters goes under the nickname of "Red Bird." . . Hart ky Fall from Csur. J. P.

He had worked hard all day, and It had often been his custom to ride on the cars during the eveninr for a trio or two aa a rest. This time he was delivering a Christmas pre ent and should, it Is said, have taken the Hanscom park car In Omaha, but by acci dent got on the West Q street car and did not discover his error until nearly to the end of the line at Fortieth street. Then he asked to be let off, and when the car did not atop aa he desired, attempted to allsht while It was moving. Tho full stunned him, though he did not appear seri ously hurt. After that he wandered about aimlessly and either fell oft the bank Forty-sixth and Q streets or -was beaten by hold-up men. This he can not remem ber. It is said lie had no money whr n found and hia Injuries gave aome appearance of having been accomplished by blows. After the injury ho managed to crawl to the back of Peter Anderon's saloon at Forty' sixth and Q streets and his knocking at tracted attention. He said at the police station that he bad fallen off the bank but later his remarks would Indicate a pos sible crime. City Advertises for "applies.

DeWolf Hopper and company In "Hsp pyiand," a mulsacl comedy in two acts; music by Reginald DeKoven: book by Frederick Rankin; staged by R. H. Burnside: under direction of the Shu berts.

Ada Deaves ElyRtan Ladles of Honor " The I.adv Patricia Nella Shayno . The Lady Alicia Alice Hills Tag" to the King Ftrephon EJIsle Murray Phyllis Dorothy James and Sylvia, Daughter of King Ecetaticus.. Marguerite Clark When Reginald DeKoven wrote the music for '"Happyland" he was in a rem iniscent mood, at least, and his memory waa, still good. He has performed a dis tinct service for a lot of the older patrons of the piece; for he not only give the stags settings, songs and pictures of "Happyland," but recall to our minds de lights of bygone days, reaching back at least to the time of Gilbert and Sullivan, and mayhap bewond that. But these wecpUootions are., really pleasant, and heighten the enjoyment of th evening. Also, Mr. DeKoven has good Judgment and discriminating taste. Mr. Rankin's book Is good, and Mr. Burnside has proved himself an artist In his stage arrange ment of the various aspect of the piece. His pictures sre effective, hi dance are graceful, and his marchea well managed. "Happyland" Is as much a delight for the eye as for th ear. In King Ecstatlcus Mr. Hopper Is Just what he ha alway been; In "Panjs.r.2i rum," In "Wang," In "El Capltan." 4n all hi list of undertakings, he depends with absolute certainty on hi fantastic leg movements and hi lugubrious utter ance to make his fun, and he never falls. He Is Just as funny now as he was the first time you saw him, and likely will be to the end of his career. In company with King Altlmus (played by Mr. WoltO he sings a duo about "Flowers" that Is almost the limit for absurdity. HI elephantine tenderness for hi daughter Is another of the laughably ludicrous featurea of the evening. Mr. Wolff, Mr. Reed and Mr. Lawrence help amaxlngly in developing the. drollery of "Happy land." Mr. Poppen leada a hussar chorus with a big hass voice and opens the sec ond act with a song about a "Black Sheep" that is good. Mr. Odell gets a little opportunity to air his excellent tenor, but Mr. Phillips has the real tenor role and sings very well. Miss Shsyne opens the first act wllh a solo, "Hail, Gentle Eros," that is one of the best things In the lot; the curtain is raised on a stage that 1 totally dark, and then, as the light Is slowly turned on, simulating the breaking of day, Mlsa Phayne has her chance, and It Is per fectly taken. A chorus of girls follows this, and a dance that Is well devised, and the piece la under way. Mlsa Shayne also has another fine opportunity In a duo with Mr. Phillips. Marguerite Clark Is given all the work the most ambitious of soubrettes or prima donnas might ask. She has a solo and duet in the first act, a solo with chorus in the second, and solo with the stage all to herself. Each of these numbers Is a hit. - One wonders where so much voice can be atored in such a little body, but it Is a sweet and musical voice with range and power. Miss Clark dances gracefully and flits Ilk 'a sprite In and out of the action of the piece, leaving no wonder as to why she Is popular. And Ada Deaves is making fun Just as she has tor well, Ada may not care, but it wouldn't be nice to say how long. She is the pioneer of the women who bide their beauty behind grotesque applications ot paint and under horrid wigs, just to make fun. And she is still the leader of the lot, too. Her clever wsy, admitted long ago, haa not forsaken her. The chorus, both male and female, ia numerous, comely and qualified to sing. The hits are too numer ous to mention, and the laughspout Is turned on full and at high preaaure most of the time. Mr. Hopper obliged last night with a curtain speech that Is brand new so far as Omaha goes, and thereby won more applause. The audience was large nd gave ample evidence of ita enjoyment. "The Way of the Tranagrraaor" at tho Kris. This fine melodrama came back to the Krug last night, to the delight of a large audience. It is written around a series of episodes that combine to make a tale ef deep lntereat, and which develop some very strong situation On of them has to do with an attempt to wreck a train.

BOARD REFUSES ONE LICENSE Clifford T. Perkins isTmrned Down on Repntntton Given Place by Police. A long and busy session, with some sur prises, was held Thursday night by the Board of Fir and Police Commissioners. Th principal case on hearing was the pro test of M. O. Cunningham, an attorney, against the application of Clifford Perkins for a saloon license at 111 North Sixteenth street, and th license was refused. Before this case was taken up the board called up the protest of Peter Loch against tbe Fred Krug Brewing company. It came out that Loch bad filed a protest against the brewing company December 18 and that, without the knowledge of this protest, the license was ordered Issued December 23. All members of the board expressed Indig nation over the fact that the proteatant had failed to present evidence in the case before the license had been ordered, but the order for th license wa rescinded and tha protestant was given two hours to pre sent evidence. Before the ' time expired Loch came to the room and not only dis missed the case against the Krug Brewing company, but against all other persons against whom he had filed protests. Notice waa given that tha protest against Peter Peterson. 2706 Leavenworth street, would be appealed to the district court, but th board decided to Issu the license pending the appeal. Evidence In the Perkins case dwelt upon th character of the house operated, mem bers ot tbe police force testifying that many prise flghtera congregate about tho place; that on one occasion th safe In the saloon was robbed and that a man who claimed to have lost a considerable sura of money afterwards received from mem ber of th firm the amount of money taken"; that at one time gambling was con ducted in the rooms over the saloon and that all persons In the room wer arrested, but the county attorney filed no complaint; cards, chtpa and tables were taken and a bell connected the eurper room with, the bar of the saloon. The place was raided twice during 19u6. but never in Wt; that electric devises for loaded dice were taken from the place. Peter Loch testified .that the batteries had been left In pawn with him and he had no dice or other things with which to operate the device; that all prise fights and other matches were arranged by him with out the co-operation of Perkins. John C. Blanck, with his bartender and porter, appeared and swore that he had nothing to do with the sale of beer In the rear ot th building where his saloon was operated, and that the beer sold by John son In hi restaurant was not purchased at ths Blanck saloon. John Martlg, twice arrested for maintain ing a dlsordely house at 1002 Howard street, having been convicted once and having pleaded guilty once, explained tha neither time had be sold any liquor on Sunday, but had been compelled to go int the saloon after Ice, as h runs a boarding house in connection wllh the place, and that he pleaded guilty because he was told hs could not open hi place If he contested the esse.
