for water commissioner, is well known
to the people of this city, having served
the public in various capacities. He
too has a strata; antagonist in Mr. Har
greaves, ButTepublicaas have no cause
or dissatisfaction with Mr. Byer, and
they will stay by him. If they do he
will be elected.
The remaining candidates, Mr. Ab.
bott, Mr. Bonestedt, Mr. Gregory, Mr
BoBBcll, Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Babcock,
and the seven candidates for council
men, have, with the exception of some
of the latter, little opposition.
Mayer Broatch, of Omaha, is casting
about ia the state in the interest of his
candidacy for governor. 9e will be one
of the atf oagest candidates at the state
convention. Douglas county will also
present the name of Attorney General
Churchill for nomination. Mr. Church
ill has had to climb over a number of
rather large rocks since he has been in
the attorney general's office, and he has
Bot escaped criticism. But at this writ
ing it does not appear that he is in great
danger.
In all probability Churchill, Piper,
Russet! and Corbett will all be renomi
nated. A ghastly thing in state politics is the
resurrected Tom Majors. Majors was
coasigsed to the tomb two years ago. but
the corpse has rehabilitated itself, and
is today moving clammily along in the
similitude of life. There ought to be
some way of keeping the dead in their
graves.
The republican county convention
Thursday was a decidedly animated
gathertag. D. E. Thompson, bald and
blaad, set in a box aae watched the
proceeding, and as he surveyed the
seething mass of humanity and saw the
scheming and manipulation and voci
feration, be had the satisfaction of feel
ia that he was supreme. The slate
west through with practically no inter
ference and the boss as he sits in his
oftce at Fifteenth and U streets is to
day rubbing his hands with glee.
But McKtaley instructions went
through, aad theuominees are all good
aad true bmb, aeererybody, except, per
haps, the defeated candidates, ought to
be satiated. Mr. Keauarl and Mr.
Lirdaay aa3 Mr. Clark aad Mr. Waite
ami Mr. atorket aad Mr. Wimberleyaad
Mr. Mills and Mr. Spencer and Mr. -Talbot
and Mr. MungerandMr. Miller were
the best selections that could possibly
have been made, for each one of these
candidates was the preference of a ma
jority of the reputable delegates who
made up tne convention.
Of course F. W. Collins was not nom
inated for county attorney. Mr. Collins
is a young man and inexperienced in
practical politics. He wsb foolish to be
shouting for McKinley while a certain
well known influence was working for
Manderson. Then he was foolish enough
not to aak Mr. Thompson if he might
run.
Lancaster county has in L. L. Lind
say a candidate for delegate to the St.
Louis convention, who is an "original
McKinleyman," and if heipelecteda dele
gatte at Tecuraseh there will be no
member of the Nebraska delegation who
will be more earnest and enthusiastic
for McKtaley than Lindsay.
ANNOUNCEMENTS.
Weaver's Komedy Krew will hold the
boards at the Lansing theatre each
night next week. The company numbers
25 people, carrying a band and orches
tra and 10 specialty performers. The
repertoire for the week is of an entirely
new order, for as the title suggests the
plays are all comedies, among which will
be seen ."Farmer Stebbins," "A Wild
Goose Chase," "Aunt Sally," "Old Sol
dier," "A Trip to the Circus," etc. All
are. the latest and most successful one
night pieces for which Mr. Weaver pays
royalty for the right of production.
Among the company will be found such
artists as Miss Etta Merris Wade, prima
donna soprano, formerly with the Bos
ton Opera Co., Miss Lena Holt of the
California Stock Co., Miss Dot Putnam,
who for the past five seasons has been
starring. Miss Frankie Elliott, late of
McKee Rankin's Co. and Miss Josie Gif
ford; Mr. Carey Faut, Mr. S. M.Griffith,
Mr. L. E. Beach, Mr, Harry Strief, Mr
J. A. Weaver, Mr. Cal Davenport, etc.,
etc, making in all one of the strongest
repertoire companies on the road today.
An innovation in the method of con
ducting the performances is given by
Manager Weaver. After the curtain
rises on the first act it is not dropped
again untU the close of the last one, giv
ing a continuous performance. No long
waits between the acts for the interim
is filled with the latest singing and danc
ing specialties. This is a feature intro
duced by no other repertoire company.
Manager Weaver has secured the ser
vices of Prof. A. P. Rainsburg as band
master and bis untiring energy has
brought that portion of the company to
a high degree of perfection. They give
one of the most novel parades on each.
Monday that has ever been seen in this
city. The orchestra under the direction
of Prof. Arthur Foster is also another
feature of this organization. The price
of tickets has been placed at the ex
tremely low figure of 10 cents general
admission to all parts of the house. Go
early and avoid the rush. Seats now on
sale at the Lansing pharmacy.
George Bizet's Carmen, which is the
opera that will be presented by the
Tavary Grand Opera company at the
Funke opera house next Thursday is an
opera which needs not merely to be
sung, but to be acted. Carmen ib the
most dangerous type of coquette, a girl
with great powers of fascinating men,
but without a heart and without a con
science. She seems to be absolutely
without the moral sense. She is no
moral weakling, yielding to temptation
because she has no moral strength to
resist it. She has strength enough to
resist anything. She is bold, audacious,
utterly reckless, defiant of all moral
standards held by others and without
one of hr own. She is heartless, too.
She fondles a man who is mad with tas
sion for her as long as it suits her roya'
whim to do so, but as soon as her mood
changes and she tires of him or is at
tracted by another man, she throws him
overboard without the slightest mani
festation of remorse or regret. She
plays with the passions of men as a cat
plays with a mouse without the least
pity and without the slightest consider
eration for their pain or their pleasure.
Yet she has the power to compel passion.
Utterly without love herself, there is a
fascination in her which men cannot re
sist. They conceive the most insane
passion for her and become as insanely
jealeus when she throws them over for
somebody eke. She plays the game of
coquetry with loaded dice and never
failb to win . She meets her Nemesis at
last, in a way, in being murdered by a
jealous lover whom she has discarded;
but there is no change in her character.
This unsavory but nevertheless pow
erfully attractive character is imperson
ated by Mme. Thea Done. She seems
not to act the part of Carmen, but to be
Carmen herself, living her strong.tigress-.
like life under the authcr's very eyes.
Through a misunderstanding the dis
play advertisement of the Funker opera
house in this issue of The Courier an
nounces that James A. Heme will ap
pear ia this city ia f Shore Acres." This
is a mistake. Mr. Hearne will not be
with Ibe company. His part will be
taken by Archie Boyd who played Den
man Thorny son's role in "The Old Home
tead" in the road engagements of that
company.
