ORDERS BY TELEGRAPH Pel lee and Banker fttrlre to In ravel Mystery of Check Cashed at Dallaa with Falrbarr Man'e Kama signed to It. Dr. c. A. Stewart of the Bureau of Ani mal Industry, wbo has been one of the veterinary Inspectors In South Omaha and xne west for several years, left Friday morning for Danville, Pa., to take up the special quarantine Inspection ,for the hoof and mouth disease of cattle. This disease, which Is fatal and very contagious, Is said to have developed virulently In New York and Pennsylvania so that the states have been placed under quarantine. Dr. Stewart has had a long;, scientific experience In the quarantine division of the Inspection, fie was stationed for several months in Tennessee and Kentucky a year ago. He had spent much time In the west. He is therefore counted one of the best of seventy five experts, who were called within he last few dsys to go to the quarantine field. He received his call by wire Thursday evening and In about three hours was on his way. He will arrive In Danville thla morn Ing. The emergency Is being discussed In the circles of yio Bureau of Animal Industry nd It Is said that stringent measures will be taken. Cattle found to be Infected will be shot and the carcasses burned or thoroughly boiled In tanks. All herds suspected will be segregated and care fully watched for the first systoms. The government pays for all cattle thus shot so that no farmer or shipper will attempt fcy legal proceedings to call a halt to the prompt disposal of diseased animals. Mystery Abont a Check. The Gouth Omaha police have been work ing for several days on the case of J. W. Wellington of Falrbury, Neb., who loc $60 at the time of the Tripp county land opening at Dallas, 8. D. The man either drew a check for the money or a forgery was committed. At all events, the check was signed by Wellington and made out to parties unknown to the South Omaha police. The check was taken to the Pack ers National bank by Frank Dolczal of this City, who countersigned It and left It there for collection. The bank at Falrbury paid the check. Wellington now comes forward with a rather confused story,, claiming It was a bunco game. The officials of the Falrbury bank were In South Omaha Wednesday and on the advice of the county attorney left town. It Is thought they went to South Dakota to secure evidence there . If possible. Before any arrests can be made tha propercomplalnt will have to bo sworn out at Dallas, where the crime. If any, was committed. Sanday services.

Butler. I k I I . . i I ! ' Frank Planck. i I Edward J. Daemon. I '' t . Thomas J. O'Connor. Gus Peterson. These are the local candidates for tha position of oil Inspector during the reign of Shallenberger, all of them with the ex ception of Mr. Butler being candidates for tha deputyshlp for the Second district. Mr. Butler Is a candidate for the chief position. Gus Peterson Is the last to enter the lints, and he comes out under tha pro tecting wing of Harry Hayward. Mr. Ha ward leads one wing of the Jim club, Tom Flynn the other. Mr. Hayward wants the pap for Peterson, Mr. Flynn wants H for Thomas J. O'Connor, ard both of them arc bound to get the endorsement of the club for their respective candidates. . The mayor has been Importuned to inject his personality into the campaign, but he waves all oomers arldo with an Imperious gesture and the club members are allowed to wrangle among themselves, with Immi nent danger of ruction and the deserting of somo members- to the hated Jacks. Neither Holds City Job. Neither O'Connor or Peterson holds a city Job, and for this reason many of the big wheels who keep the dem.'crocy In tha present tense, among these being Colonel Faming, believe that cne of them should get the plum, but, on the other hand, tha other candidates have strong endorsements. The Omaha Posten, the local Swedish paper, has come to the support of Mr. Planck, whllt Mr. Daemon has secured the endorsement of the Plattsdeutscher Vereln, the German society with a mem bership of nearly 1,000. And tha new gov ernor Is of German descent. While the taste of oil Is the most pleas ant to the Jims, they are not adverse to getting their hooks onto other Jobs and new candidates are springing up like mush rooms. Adam Sloup, who waa fish com missioner under Governor Holcomb, has come out tot the same pfflce under Governor-elect Shallenberger and Joe Sherry, another former officeholder, wants to be game warden. Both Mr. Sloup and Mr. Sherry were deputies under sheriff Power Daniel Custer, an ' old warhorse In the party, has his lightning rod up for the position of custodian of the state house, the Job Dave Rowden landed under the fusion administration of days gone by. For commandant of the soldiers' home, the only candidate so far Is Fred W. Simpson, of Omaha. Mr. Simpson has been endorsed by all the Grand Army of the Republic posts In this city. Is a soldier with a record back of him, and appears to stand a good show. Lyman M. Hunt, a resident of Omaha for twenty years, has announced his candidacy for superintendent of the Institute for the deaf, and Is conducting a strenuous cam paign, securing many endorsements for the place. Mr. Hunt was connected with the Nebraska Institution for seven years and with the South Dakota Institution, four years, Is a printer, carpenter, paper hanger, frescoer and photographer by pro fession, and though deaf, his friends be lieve he could manage the affairs of the Institution In a creditable manner. PRINCE CHUN TAKES CHARGE Chinese Regent Assumes Active Direc tion of All Affairs of the . Empire. PEKING, Nov. 21. It Is becoming In creasingly evident that Prince Chun, the regent, is taking matters of government Into his own hands and that he resents any Interference from the dowager empress. Yehonala or the members of the grand council. A vigorously worded edict Issued by the regent today In the name of the emperor sets forth that his authority was received from the late dowager empress, and commands obedience to him. It Bays, In part: AH imperial clansmen are ordered to give a greater degree of obedience than others; this is for the effect of the example. Dis obeying princes and officials will be dealt with without leniency. Our 'purpose In this Is to fulfill the command of the late dowager empress and to satisfy the people, The wording of this edict Indicates the existence of dissensions In the Imperial family, and the disposition to take matters Into his own hands Is Indicated by other reports from the palace regarding the print regent. The regent, It Is said, has found advising with Yehonala onerous and his consultations with her are becoming more and more perfunctory. He la reported to have arrogated to himself the Imperial prerogative. The second edict Issued today Is directed against the revolutionaries. It Is: Two misfortunes have befallen the coun try, but In accordance with the a r ran ire ments effected by the late emperor and the late dowager empress order prevails In the empire. Foreign treaties will be ob served and the countries In sympathy with China are making their Intercourse more i Intimate. It Is a fact, however, that law tees conspiraiora recently nave mea lo in vade the Interior. These men must bo severely dealt with, and all officials are hereby ordered to arrest and summarily be hesd them wherever found. These officials will be properly rewarded. In view of the Impression In Peking that unusual tranquillity exists throughout the empire, this second edict Is not understood. The official obsequies that are being con ducted at the palace are bringing 1 In creasing crowds of officials and mourners The functions occur mornli.g and evening The Dalai Lama of Tibet, attended by the members of his suite, officiated this morn Ing at The Tibetan religious ceremony of prayer before tha coffins of the emperor and empress.

Marcel George F. De Vere The Cure .' Averell Harris M. Rosslgnol Louis I. a Bey Rosalie May Buckley Paillette du Bols Kvelyn Walls Txuls Trudel Francois Duval The Abbe , Edaon R. Miles When the curtain drops on the last scene of this play one feels as If some great oppressing weight, some overpowering In cubus that was crushing and shutting out the light at the same time had been lifted. The sense of having regained the sunlight and the open air which had been almost hopelessly lost Is, to say the least, the natural sequence of the five scenes of dramatic situations. This feeling of relief Is a tribute to the art of those who nre concerned In the making and interpreting of the play. The realism with which the situations have been concelved.and de veloped and the gripping fidelity with which they are Interpreted Is entirely responsible for the feeling one has at the end, that he has passed - through the .soul tortures of Charley Steele and has come out finally Into the bright sunlight. , The play itself Is set In a favorable back ground for sharp dramatic contrasts. The conventionalities of respectable society and the hard' lines of orthodox religion drawn by blind bigotry are set off sharply In con trast with a soul loving freedom and Jack of external constraint. The scenes shift from the den of Charley. Steele In his mansion in Montreal to the wlldness of the mountains In a parish 00 miles away. Charley Steele, married to a woman who does not love him and whom he does not love, finds himself in the tolls of doubt as to life and Its meaning and without the reassurances of religion to help him through. Addicted also to drink, he proves a poison In the society' In which he mingles. A drunken ex-mlniater and an embezzling brother-in-law both lay the! downfall to him. With the double purpose of finding "rest" and protecting his weak brother- in-law he assumes blame which should go to his relative and plans to go up the river with a riverman whom he has saved from a chargo of murder. Attacked in a low saloon he Is left almOBt lifeless and when rescued by Joe Portugal he has lost con sciousness, and even when he recovers In the wilds up the river falls to recover the memory of his past. He falls In love with a simple-minded girl and Is happy when an Inkling of his past leads him to submit to an operation which restores his memory. He Is about to renounce his real love, even though he learns his wife has remarried. thinking he was dead, when news comes of the death of his wife, leaving him free. The part of Charley Steele is one that requires repressive acting. Mr. Standing from the very first, when he swings on the stage the cynical, skeptical lawyer, to the last when ho finds life for the first time In the love of Rosalie, Is true to life. He can throw off fthe Indifference of the early stages of the story fcr the grim earnest ness of a man fighting with a bigoted community for his love In the latter stages. His transition into the sober, almost stern man of social responsibility Is most na tural. It Is the fidelity of Mr. Standing' work that gives the play Its grip. Of the same high quality Is the work cf Theodore Roberts as Joe Portugals. It is no formal French-Canadian delivering him self of dialect that is seen, but a living, breathing man, every gesture of the hand, every facial expression lending Itself to the characterization. The quality of the rest of the company IS unusually high. The minor parts are well filled and the staging deserves special mention. The reproduction of the moun tain scenery In the last scenes Is true and effective. The Boyd was crowded last night and the spontneous bursts of ap plause, which amounted almost to orations after the unusually strong scenes. Indicated the hearty approval of tht' audience. The engagement elopes with the Satur day night performance, with a matinee Saturday afternoon. Death by Kail from Horse. ST. PAIL. Nfb., Nov. 21. (Special.)

Women to Blame for Their Own Ills Too many women suffer needlessly each month from painful, profuse, scanty, or Irregular menstruation. There Is really no excuse for this, for an eminent physician has supplied a pre scription (which Is here published) that regulates the flow, stops all pain, calms the nerves, cures cramps, banishes head aches, clears and beautifies the -complex-Ion. fAny good, druggist will fill It for you: Alpen Beal, 2 ounces; Fluid Extract Black liaw, 1 ounce; Pure Water, 5 ounces. A teaspooonful before each meal and at bedtime, taken for several days before, during and after eafh period, will do the work aafely and effectively. Are you willing to take a wise physician's ad vice? Isn't It worth a trip to the drug store and the trifling 4:04 (tf baying the prescription filled?
