OR JORN AND SOCKLESS JERRY | Thoy Collide with Corvideratle Foros ard Amnss a Fotel Orowd, THURSTON TALKS ON FARM TOPICS. Bimpson Tells What He Knows About Mortgages, Trus » and the Tariff and Bxcitng Pos titical Enconnter. Cnicaoo Bunkav or Tre Bee, | Ca 1L, Seot. 10, § It 80 happened that Iton John M. Thurston, the Union Pucific lawyer, and ‘“Jorry" Simoson, the alleged sockless statesman, registered the same day at the Grand Pacific It was the'work of about two hours, calling | for tho exerciso of a littlo strategy, to got | them together. I'ney had never befors mot face to face, but it didn't take them long to get warmed up in a spirited debate. At the start it involved but two men, but before | they left the rotunda, 200 politicians, guests, farmers and business men haa ight the ®pirit of the discussion, and were hammering each other right and left The Knosas farm who claims that brethren are sorely oppressed with mort- gages and dobts, particu tho Union Pa- cific's bonded iwdobtedness, which, he asserts, 18 saddled mostly upon IKansas, ran tull il upon the guns of his encmy, and when the smoko of the battle cleared ' away “Jorry's' glasses were shoved up on his forehead, his slouch hat was hanging by tuft of hair to 1he back of his head and the usually caim demea of Judge I'hurston, who has wielded the gavel in g political conventions, wus very much rumpled. The two great issues, protection and freo trade, were immediately made the principal subjects of discussi Later they drifted 1nto farmer talk and personalities “Oh, yes,” said Jerry, “you republ put out a lot of points in Support of your toc trine of protection, but you don't stand on any one long enough to argue it. By your vory words you prove Uit proteotion furthers trusts and makes goods higher for the work- {0g man.' “*Now, noe hore, “Jerry! "—— 0, I wont. Waita minute. Look what you did with sugar, just as a bluff! How long aftor tho tariff was remeved from this pro- duct did the sugar trust last1 “Now, ‘Jerry,’ vou show me the business that thero is a guirautecd profitof 10 per cent 1n that can be controlled by a trust,” said Mr. Thurston, ““How about the farming implements that farmors have to stint their families to pur- chase?? “Bosh! There a 18 vough farming imple- monts lying arouud ou the various farums simply rotting to picces, to supply every farmor in the country. Why! Simply because men like you who know nothing about farm- ing purchased them and did not know how to use thom,” I can farm——"" “\Jerry,! you know you never farmed a legitimate day in your life. You think that because I wear a plus Lat that 1 don’t know anything about farming. 1 was brought up | tions | fn the neighbortiood of 150,000 pounds, on'a farm and I kuow my arvuments have as much woight as yours. Why, I'd_just like o chatlenge you to a plowing match— break- ing prairio sod if you like.” By this time tho crowd in the rotunda had become an excited mass of people. Phocion Howard, Farmer Voorhees of Illinois, QGovernor Waller of Connecticut and a host of politizians interjected arguments until “Jerry" turned his back, crying: One at a time, gentlemon.’’ ““You republicans »r responsible for tho tervible pall of mortgages that hangs over ‘the Kansans,” continued the congressman. “I consider these mortgages an evidunce of prosperity,” replied the Omaha republican. *Men went out there who could not borrow a dollar in_the world, took up farms, worked them aud in a short time found themselves with sufficient security to borrow money." “sut if they were prosperous why should thoy wish to borrow mouey{’ demanded “erry." ““They wanted better living quarters than the dugouts and built themselves finu houses and barns. I nevor mado a cent until I went wmto debt to do it.”” Then they wont into arguments so exciting that the noise of the crowd provented most of the auditors from nearing the debaters. Again they indulged in personalities and it Irightoned tho hotel people who thought blows might be exchauged. Simpson linally excused himself as he had to catch a train, but he said he would some day make politics hum out west for Judge Thurrton. The congressman was delighted. “I ran up against & man-of-war with ten times my comploment of guns,” said “Jorry, “but I had him in a coruer.” A MISSING PHILANTIROPIST. An English womun named Miss Alva, sup- posed to be worth over $1,000,000, an account of whose mission appeared in’ T Bex someo time ago, and who has for some timo boen carrying on a crusade against the “slums" of Chicago, is wissing, and it is be- lieved by her fricnds that she has been abduoted. Recently sho has received anouy- mous letters threatening her life. Yestorday evening Miss Alva entered the Jesuit chure 10 500 & priest, since which time she has not been seen. Tho priest savs she talked with bim about” fifteen minutes and thon left the church, but a lady who accompanied ner to the door savs sho did not se0 her come out of tho building. De- tectives are at work on the case. Mrs. Dr. Bolton, in an interviow, safd thoy wero much impressed with her zoal and work and her Christian character. Mrs, Botton said she had accompanied Miss Ava 1o the Jesuit collego o number of times, but there was nothing in the young lady’s lite to show she wasin any way partialto the Catholic religion. Miss Ava nover told Mrs Bolton the object of ber visit to the college and the latter nover asked her. Mrs. Bolton says that the day Miss Ava disappenred sho waited at the college door for fully two hours and half, ana when she did not appear sho made inquiry, which was fruitless.

Kansas City's Side With U Tracks Crowded Trains Servic ler the Ci ces De clared to Be Impossible. Prompt Kaxsus City, Mo, Sept. 10.~The froight vlockade ¢ the enormous shipments of wheat from the west to be about , but there is still muct complaint by toe grain commission mon here and small growers in Kansas, that tney cannot prompt service from the railroads. Monday bing last, there was scarcely a foot of nt siding in any of the switching yards, all of the tracks being occupled by loaded grain cars, The Sauta Fa confessos to have had 2,152 cars on its side tracks here, and the other roads were in almost as bad a condition. Now the blockade seems to ba purtially raised, but only partialiy ana the roads have been compelled to make herculean offorts to accomplish that much. Tho Santa Fo has withdrawn fourteen en- gines from its Pacific division and bas put them in sorvice hauling in and forwarding grain. The Missouri Pacific has eight Iron Mountain engines and four from its southern division in the western division engaged in bauling grain. The other ronds bhave all re engines at work and have all they b do in keeping things moving let alone ing the grain that care upon them unawares the early part of the week. T'o prevent an iticrease in tho blockade the rouds have resortod to measures which have never before been taken advantage of at this place. They have given notice to all shippers that cars will bo permitted to stan on the side tracks only forty-eight hours, If they are not unloaded by that time their con- tents will be stored in the railrond’s ele tors at the shipper's expense. Those roads which do not own: elevators bhave eiven no- tico that after forty-eight hours cars will be removed to remote side tracks, storage to be charged the same as if the road nad unloaded the cars in an elevator. T'hese measures aro expected to itauce the shippers to unload their cars and release them to the roads sveedily. This evening the yards seemed to fairly weil cleared compared to their crowdea condition the first of the week. The now has only 750 cars waiting to bo transported or untoaded. The Mis- souri Pacific has 2530 cars, the Burlineton about 200, the Rock Island 330 aud the Union Pacitic 500 belated cars, Receipts fell off today to 250 cars, and, un- less they increase again unexpectedly, the yards wiil be nearly clear bv Saturday night. 8" D, mo) vac OIL SHIPP ANDS. Important Session of the Central TraMc Association. Ciieao, L, Sept. 10.—The Freight depart- ment of the Central Traflic association has just concluded an important meeting. Among the matters considered was a communication from the Independent Refiners' and Oil Shippers® association aemanding a reduction of at least 25 per ceut in the present rates on oil and requesting that pro-rating arrange- ments be re-stablishea. A resolution was adopted to the effect that no reduction could be made in the present rate or any change in tho territory to which through raies are pub- lished. The recommendation of the Milwaukeo committee concerned differentials to apply on trafic from Milwaukee across the iako to points in tho terntory of the Contral Trafic association was concurred in with the under- standing_that if the differontial does not work satisfactory, a revision may be consid- ered on application of the lines intorested. ‘Tho rates agreed upon for such traflic are less than the authorized all rail rates from Milwaukee by tho following amounts: First class, 6 cents; second class, 5 conts; third class, 4 conts} fourtn, filth and sixth classes, 2 conts. A roquest from the director general of the World's fair thatshalf 1ates in eaoh di- rection be - charge on_ exhibits was not Eranted, the associating deciding that as the arrangement: )y isin accord- ance with established precedents, it could not be consistently modified. A resolution was adopted recommending that the same differ- eutials via rail aud water should be ullowed the Cumberland Gap Dispatch as are now effect vin Kanawha Dispatch when tho prop- erty is forwarded by rail and waterunin- sured, but that full rates saould be charged when the property is shipped by an all rail route over cither of these fast freight lines. The question of eliminating the insurance clause in bill of lading via wator routes was referred to a special committee for a report ut the next meeting. A resolution was adopted continuing in effect until further notice, the present rates and division on cotton from southern to east- ern points. It was agreed to recommend that joint committee circular No. 42 be re- issued in order to set forth in detail the weights 1o be used at initial and imtermed:- ate poiuts upon all classes of live stock. It was ulso agreed that authorized rates ou pig iron from Buffalo, Pittsburg and kindred points to East Burlington, Ill., could be ap- plied from the same points to Keithsburg, 1. CHARGES AGAINST A ROAD. A conference of trafiic ofticials representing lines in tho Trausmissouri and Western Ireight associations was held here today, the question under consideration being the aboli- tion of milling-iu-transit rates on grain in the territory of theso two associations. It was soon apparent that no decision could be reachod, 03 the lines opposed to the move- ment rofused to vield, and it is believed that some of them are bound by contracts with millers. In fact, the discussion of the matter brought out s0 uuch wal, was Jn the nature of a revelation that oune road was di chargod with having uarantosd. to Topokh millors milling-in-trausit rates for a period of twenty years. 10WA CENTRAL OAINS A POINT. The commssioner of the Western Traffic association handed down a decision in the matter of the application of the lowa Central for the equalization of through rates on oil. Itappears that from certain oil producing disiricts the rate to Peoria, added 1o the es- tablished rate beyond, makes a through rate conts higher than the existing through rate via Chicago to the same poiuts, No sufficient reason appears why this inequalty should not be corrected, us provosed by the lowa entral, and the commissioners thereforo authorized the establishment of a proportion- ate tariff on oil in car lots from Peoria to di tination, # conts less per 100 pounds than from Chiicago, provided that uo through rate shall be made lower via Peoria than via Chi- cago. PLEADING WITR SHATTUC, It is probable that Goneral Passenger Agent Suattuo will reconsider his resolution rezarding rates to bo mude by the Ohilo & Mississippi river from Cincinnati to Pacifi coast points, A conference of passenger of- ficials was held today and communication was opened with Shattue, who was urged to givo his assent Lo the advanco as originally docided upon.

IRESSEPE ALTON. Cutting Into thé Trrrnnry of Other Railrond Companics. IKAxsas City, Mo, Sept. 10.—At the meet ing of the Transmissoliri Passengor associa tion thoe hotae visitors rates were among the first to be considered. The majority of lines favored the rates from the beginning, and a resolution was drawn up and adopted. The resolution provides that tne rates shall apply from ldaho, Montana and Dakota, in caso the Northern Pacific and tho Great Northern concur. The whole resolution is to bo adopted subject to the concurrence of the Western Passenger association. The Alton sprung a surprise on the castern lines by announcing that it would extend the one fare home visitors' rate for September 16 and 20 to Cincinoati over the Ohio & Missis- sippi, and will sell from Kansas City to Cin- ciunati at $17 for the round trip. In view of the fact that the Alton is not supposed to have any representation in the east, this ox- tonsion of one fare rates into the enemies' territory Is somewhat startling.

It was a scholarly audienco that greoted T'homas W. Keene last evening st Boyd's theater, an audienco bafore whom wny great actor might have played with distinguished crodit It was just such au audience that vou would expect to see upon a night given over to the production of a tragic play, for Omaba theater goers have not had a taste of the legitimate since Mr. Keeno's last appearance hero. And they longed for somethiug that had the true ring of art about it and not its anti-typo, 1or his initial appoarance, aftor ar absence of two years, Mr. Keeno chose **Richelien’ as the bill, Bulwer's historical drama in five acts. “Richelieu” is a fine study of the force and vastuess of a complete individuality and af- fords to the actor a fine opportunity for the exhibition of the resources of histrionic art. But the great cardinal was no common man, he was made of difforent clay than that which onters into the composition of most men, and to show a glimpse of him as ho was 10 thie generation of over two centuries later, neads gifts of no common_order, “Titanic daring, iron resolution, sublime self-belief, tho wisdom of the serpent, the subtlety and the iustinctive understanding of the motives of men which only follow in the wake of personal experience, ire some of the component elements of the chiractor of Ar- mand Rich and to reproduce the charac- ter in all its majesty, without suffering the more noble qualties’ to be impaired oy the shadow of the less worthy oues isa task which Mr. Keene undertakes, and in which last night he scored a fair measure of success. Yet oue cannot pass lightly over the ability of Mr. Keene, for ho has ability of an exalter order. His growing mellowness, his studious character, his disposition to round the rough places of former interpretations, show how thoroughly the man appreciates the position he occupies on this side of the water, for with Mr." Booth in retirement, with 'Lawrence Barrett dead, or. Koene is America’s ropresentative tragedian, And the long woary years of patient plodding, of struggle even, what alesson o the young actor facing the plautits, the frowns of the public {'rom the first moment in which he ap- peared in the doorway of his chamber, clad in loose robes of dull color, with bent 'form and haggard features, with' the eyes of un- quencbable brizhtness flashing under the snowy tresses of old age, Mr. Keeno showed a knowledgo of tho character in keeping with the siudious lifc he leads. If the portraiture he gave of the cardinal was not powerful it was closely analytical, and that, in these days, deserves the greatest possiblo’ praise. But in the fourth act, where the real ruler of France protects Julio from fouis by the threat of the thunders of the church, a bit of declnmation which stands the peer of any similar threat in the language, Mr. Kecne rose to real sublimity. ‘The indomitable spirit scomed to wake again, the thin, nerv- ous hands whirled aloft ' the very ecstacy of conscious power. Under the cayernous eyebrows the old eyes flashed dark lightnings and tho quailing of the King's messengors seemod no stage play, but grim reality, Iu the iast sct he seemed to lose the grasp ho showed in the fourth act and sent the cur- tain down upon his “uow glory gained in a manner which to say the least was hardly remniscent of the scene s plaved oither by Mr. lrving, Mr. Booth or Mr. Barrett. Yet withal tie character was loviogly and laboriously built together, it was consistent as seen through the brawn of the interpreto: Tho passages in whicb he was least effactive were those in which Richelien is didacti Lord Lytton's blank verse in these passngzes is loud sounding, but inherently feeblo and Mr. Keono's attempt to give it force and ap- plication were not successful, As a whole the support given the star was in the main satisfactory, although one could not help longing for a'stronger Francols, a more ambitious Huguet than Mr. Eagleson mado the part, & more captivating Marion. “I'ho Baradas of Mr. Houning was accepta- ble, the actor showing a fine stage training which counts forso much in plays of the courtier class. Mr. Julius Scott as Do Mauprat was a quiet lover whose presence in the “taspestry chamber”’ could not havo sent Julie's blood to coursing any the more quickly, while his stroug scene with the cardinal in the second act touched the commonplace, Mr. Carl Abrendt piayea Joseph delight- fally, his long years in the legitimate iving him ' pertect command of the character, upon whom the only criticism can be made that, like Wolsey, ‘‘he was ambitious.” Miss Alberta Gallatin essayed the lovable rolo of Julie, and with one_or two oxceptions played it very well. Sho is young, has beauty and is conscientlous, and with study is destined to rake a name for herself in tho character so much sought after by the in- wenues in the legitimate. The play was superbly mounted, the new scencry showing to fine advantago. ' ‘I'he cos- tumes” were excollent, and altogether it was a painstaking, careful performance. Tho patrons of the Parnam Street theater wero in force last evening. The attraction was Curter's ever plensing realistic melo drama, the “'asv Mall.” tis a marvel of stage mechanisin, ana is filled with sturtling bits of renlism. ‘I'he sieamboat scene on the Mississippi was roalistic in the extremo. The engine room and the firoman feeding the tlames, the clanging doors, flashing light. flery furnaces were'true to naturo in eve detail, aud elicited great applause. ln tho third 'act stage craftmanship reached its grand climacteric.

They Threaten to Liherate the Con- victs at Briceville, Tenn, KxoxviLLe, Tean., Sept. 9.—Roliable in- formation received here last night from Briceville and Coal Creek shows an alarming condition of affairs thare. Whother it is a “bluff” for the legislaturo or *‘deaa earnest’ remains to bo seen. The information is to the effect that the miners there have dotor mined on turning loose the 123 convicts in the mines of the Knoxville Iron company. It now seems that tho free miners have deter mined to play a desperate game as the coal mining season is opening with n rush. Thero is now great uneasiness among the operators who don’t know what to do. Whother the minors will attack the convicts or not remains to be seen, buv thore is great uneasiness in the eutire district tonight, and a gentleman who is thoroughly postea upon tho situation says the public need not be sur- rised if overy convict in the district is re- cased with twenty-four hours. The convicts in the Oliver Springs district will bo ro- loased. Tho programmo this timo time is to turn them free in tue mountains and run them out of the state in Kentucky. Another alarming report is that tho forty or fifty free miners whom the Tennesseo Coal company have boen working during all tho trouble over the convicts have been unotified that they must leave the mine. They are tola that if they continue to work {u the mine thoy will be killed. The situation is causing the oper- ators much unoasiness. It is stated thut ono causo for the ronewal of tho disturbance at Briceville is the opinion of the state attorney general which was sub- mittea to the legislature. He held that the lessees had no legal autliority to sub-let the convicts, The miners learning this fact and seeing nothing done to remove them from the mines propose to get rid of them themselves. o For_restoring the color, thickening the growth, and beautifying the hair, and for proventing baldness, Hall's Hair Renewer unsurpussed.
