The seuator from Union oounty is responsible for the bill, and he will present 1 it in the general assembly during the present session.

Bowen, \he young man who was mentioned in yesterday's Bee as having dis- appeared in company with $100 belonging to Mrs. Nathalie Pollard, the wife of the noted historian of the civil war, has not been heard of recently, although he was seen in Omaha the day after luis disappearance. He s said 1o be aftlicted with spells of temporary in- sanity, which render him at times un- sccouatable for bis deeds. He hada long been a friend of Mrs. Pollard, and she thinks he committed the act while i bis 1 spells, The matter has been give the hands of the Omaha police, Chief Cary's men belng unable to assist her, and an effort is belng made to find bim. He will pot be prosecuted, if caught, so Mrs. Pollard says, and her only reason for wanting to find him is 10 prevent him doing himself any damage while not in control of his wili pow: A ram was sent to Mrs. Pollard's son In the east soveral days ago by Bowen noti- fying biro that his mother was dead and tell- ing him to meet bim in Chbicago. This tele- Kram was sent from @ station on the North- western and was absolutely false, as Bowen knew that Mrs. Pollard had recovered from her lilness and was able to be about. Itis thought to have been the result of his insan- ity, aud although there was no foundation for it it caused Mrs. Pollard some trouble to Assure her son that she was safe and sound.

The call, which was issued by the president of the Board of Trade, was responded to by avout 200 logal citizons, and a most enthusiastic meeting was heid. Lucius Wells was appointed temporary chairman and 5. B, Wadsworth secrotary. After the object of the meeting had beon stated a com mittee on resolutions was appointed, con ing of O. H. Knox, T. J. Evans, E. F. Fest, R. J. Clancey, I. M. Tregnor, F. O. Gleason, E. Wies, C. Straub, V. Jennings and L. G. Knotts, Theso gentlemen retired to another room, aud while they were proparing their resolutions the audionce listened to a num- ber of speechies by H. H. Field, Frank Trimble, Major George H. Richmond, Thomas Tostevin and W.J. Davenport, in which the law was laid down in vigorous language, and aifferent schemes were pre- sented for public improvements. Mr. Dav- evport called attention to the fact that Pottawattamie county had s zrand future before it as a fruit raising country, and one of the first things to be secured should be & cold storage warehouse. “The Burlington,” he said, *has shipped 1,665 cars of apples from this region, which were sent to Chiicago at $1.35 per barrel, and are now being sold at from £3.50 to $4 per barrel. If we had had a cold storaze ware- hause here we might have kevot that profit bers and divided it up among the farmers who raised the fruit just as well as hava it turned into the pockets of Chicago specul tors. Nothing would be so profitable in pro- portion to tho amount of capital invested as a warehouse of this kind.” By the time these pecches had been made the committee was ready to report. The substance of their resolutions was that the name of the organization should be the Merchants and Manufacturers Association of Council Bluffs; membership should be oven to all citizens; ' the annual membership fee should be $5, and the secretary should be the only salaried officer. These resolutions were adopted and & committee was atoos ap- pointed to secure the names of as many of those present as possible who would join the association, Sixty-seven signatures were secured in a few minutes. The election of officers then took place with the following result: President, T. J. Evans; vice president, A. C. Graham; sec- retary, E. F. Watts; treasurer, A. W. Riek- man; executive committee. E. F. Test, W. J. Davenport, R. J. Clancey, James Wick- ham, L. A. Casper, George H. Richmond, 1. M. Treynor, E. W. Hart and H. H.

A petition filed in the district court vester- day contains 8 story of & WOmAN'S WrODgy which 1s told as & reason why Caroline Boll- weior of Hardin towusbip should have s di- vorce from her husband, Fred Bollmeier, ‘The petition alieges that the parties to the suit were married in Wilten, la., twenty ears ago, and h lived together ever since, for thirteen years of this timo they have lived on a farm in Hardin township, and four children bave been born Lo them. For three yoars past it is alleged that Bolimeier has been flrluklu{l excessively, and has vented his spite ou his wife by Kicking her, pounding ber with his fists and otherwise abusiog her while she was in a delicate con- dition, $0 that at one time she barely escaped with ber life, About a month ago ne drove her away from home, threatening to kill her if she cume around bim any more. She asks for a divorce and $3,000 "alimony, together THE OMAHA children. She also demands the custody of the children, whose ages range from 5 to 10, She claims he owns about $10,000 worth of property, but says he has been trying to dispose of it since she left nim, in order to provent her from getving any share of it. A writ of attachment was issued by Judge ‘Trornell for $1,%0 alimony without bond, in order to prevent Bollmeier from aisposing of that portion of his property. ——— Calling on ¢ nor B € Governor James E. Boyd of Nebraska has been sabpenaed as a witness before the grand jury to testify in the case of Kimball and Champ, with whom he bad some deal ings before the failure of the invesiment company. The story of the affair is thus told by Kimbali & Champ: In the spring of 1801 Governor Boyd ap- plied to the Kimball-Champ Investment company for a loan of $60.000. The applica- tion was sent east and accepted by one of the company’s investors. Before the note and mortgage were delivered tothe company cor- respondence was had and agresment with reference to time and _conditions of payment as the work progressed, and was paid for so as 10 keop the security 'good. As the money was to remain ' in the ocompany’s hands pending payment on the con- aitions of the contract, the company gave Governor Boyd its bond witl reties for payment of the money as agreed. The preliminaries thus settled, the loan was made and $20,000 of the money paid down to Governor Boyd in cash before the remittance from the sale of the papers had reached Coun- cil Bluffs, and it is not true that the money was held by excuses or deiayed in any way. Unuil the failure every payment due on the contract as the work progressed was promptly made. Governor Boyd never was obliged to and rever did write or make any demand for any payments, but they were made as_due, without waiting for any request from Boyd, Payments were made from time to time and shortly before the failuro Kimbaill & Champ borrowed on the Graud hotel 15,000, §2,900 of which was held back to cover possible liens, and the residue, $12,100, was paid over to Governor Boyd withont request from him, At or about the time of the failure IMessrs. Kimball & Champ, acting as_officers of the Investment company, put up $3.000 in secu- Tities as collateral to' protect Boyd and the sureties on the bond to him, upon which se- curities the balance due Boyd was raised. Thus not only was there no delay prior to the failure in keeping the contract and no ex- cuses or any occasion therefor, but as a mat- ter of fact these gentlemen fully and amply protected Boyd even in spite of the failure. iy The Boston Store, Council Bluffs, Ia., closes every evening at 6 p. m., unless Mondays and Saturdays.

When Mr. Robson announced that this sea- son he would appear in old English comedy those who desire the best interests of modern comedy were highly gratified, They saw In the announcementsomething of an enduring nature, and perforce they have looked forward with the liveliest an- ticipation to Mr. Robson’s appearance in the role of Touy Lumpkin, in Goldsmith’s beautiful drama of knglish country life, *'She Stoops to Conquer.” There 13 hardly anything complex in the character of Lumpkin, noris it difficult of comprehension. Its ohief charm is its de- licious humor, 80 thoroughly peculiar to the author of *“The Vicar of Wakefieia.” At the first blush the role of the royster- ing, awkward alo-loving squire, associate of stable boys and turfites, Tony Lumpkin, seems beneath the talet of a finisned com- edian, and possibly that may have been the reason that Woodward refusea to accept the part from the elder Colman at the Covent Garden theater more than a century ago and made way for Quick, who achieved so signal a success in the role of the loutish braggart. As the traaivion of 120 years has inter- g;e!ed the character, Tony Lumpkin Is half ¥, half map, of no quick wit nor education, who can read ‘‘printed words much better than the crisses and crosses that is called writin’,” yet not altogether a dullard nor an arrant coward ; agood humored country lout, spoilea by an indulgent mother, mischievous as & monkoy, schooled n stable lore and drinking. And this character Mr. Robson made to live again tonight by the art which is vouchsafed only to & few people 1n & gen- eration, That peculiar strident voice, that high- keyed laugh, that well dsfined face, were all admirably suited for this n.ost charming of comedy parts, The interpolations which one naturally expected were not overly maoy, not by any means as many as Jefferson introduces in “The Heir at Law,” and those that Mr. Robson did make last evening were received AT 4 S v Y parts of tnenfl‘rinnl aialogue, but that is not to be wondered at, for moderns were listening to the performance and not men and women who livea a century ago. It wus a delightful treat to see Mr, Robson in & vart so far out of theline he has followed 0 long that the present generation has now to learn that his talents are not limited to the interpretation of farce comedy, and to the older theatergoers in the audience it was a pleasant departure from the times when the comedian played “Our Bachelors," “Champagne and Oysters" aud other farces of & decade ago. While Mr. itobson’s humor was keen, deli- cate and thoroughly winning, not so much can be said of Mr. Elwood’s Marlowe, which was_inexcusably exaggerated, especially in the first scene Wwith bfiu Hardcastie, the young geutleman working himself into a torrid condition 1n his frantic eundeavor to appear thoroughly embarrassed and bushful, 1s best scene was in the third act, where he makes love to Miss Hardcastle, whom he takes for the barmaia. Miss Amy Busby made an admirable Miss Hardeastle. She looked well in the costume of A century ago, and the crown of gimlet eurls gave to her face @ piquancy and charm that was irresistible. Miss Olive May played Miss Neville with delightful grace and finish, takiog Miss Ingersoll's place at the last moment. r. George 5. Woodward left little to be desired in the role of Hardeastle, finding in Mrs. McKean an excellent foil In the charac ter of Dorothy Hardcastle, who gave s wel- considered portraiture of the grande dame of the eighteenth century. Tuoe epilogue, vich Mr. Robson plumes nimself upon, wes finely spoken, al though the 'assertion that this w its tirst rendition since the production of the comedy in 1778 must be taken with a grain of Still, as cothorities differ as to this particular epilogue, Mr. Robso p will no doubt fo on making the assertion. I[n view of the fact that Goldsmith wrote four epi- with $1,000 to help bher take care of the | logues to the comedy, the quarreling ove vl DAILY BEE: SXTURDAY, which brought the curtain fng being the _second bocause Mrs. Bulkel in the original cast refused ta go on, uniess she would be permitted fo epsak the epi- logue entire, And so nno,fi}r ry at pleasing the ladies had to be made by dx\ athor. Tn addition to a well balangad company the lay was exquisitely moupted, everything ing upon a scale of richnpss that made the rrn‘uflmn memorable 1n the history of 3oyd’s opora house. The nlay goos again to night. 2 A Falr Rebid, 1t should not have needed the promise of a brush at long range with (lm little southern braggart, Chili, to configeé an observant person that the fire of patriotism burnea in the hearts of oar people as brightly as ever. "Those who have attended the so-called war plays must have learned tuat lesson from the demonstrations of the audiences, and the fact that these theatrical attractions have been among the most popular and successful of the day 1s also in evidence, “A Fair Rebel,” which bogan an engage- ment at the Farnam street theater last night, is of that class and moved a crowded house, not only to cheer the northern hero, but to roundly and repeatedly hiss the villain in gray. The play is weak in construction, often tedious in its lines, and cannot be classed in merit with some others of its kind —“Shenandoah,’ notably—but the auditors wero not critics, and there was enough of sontiment of the heroic and of exciting ac- tion to thrill their hearts and please the superficial senses. The third act opens with an interior view ot Lioby ptlion, aud the hero ls shown it the 8ot of making his esonpa through tho chan- nel used by Colonel Roso and his com- panions in 1864 Tbrough a transparent piece of scenery he is scen making his way down the chimney flue into “Rat Hell.”” The mimic prison is then pulled aside and he is seon coming out of the underground tunnel. His sweetheart, having changed places with a confederato 'soldier, is the sentinel on guard, and a very dramatic situation results, in which the fair rebel is shot by arival lover. The compary has considerable merit, the principal roles belng interproted by Edward R. Mawson and Miss Fannie Giliete, The performance was spirited, the staging at- tractivo and the entertainment pleased the audience greatly. ') lwn_last even- wwhich faiied Lwho pl Cotton's Recital, The success which attended the recital given by Mrs. J. W. Cotton's pupils last evening must have been very gratifyingalike to teacher and pupils. Hitherto, pupils’ re- citals have been free, and, as a rule, have beon only indifferently patronized; buton this occasion, notwithstanding the counter- attraction at Boyd’s theater, the concert hall of the Young Men’s Christian association contaiued a large, enthusiastic and cultured audience. 1t may be that the pupils gained inspiration from the size and appreciutive character of the audience, or perchance they threw their souls into the work “for sweet charity’s sake,” but undoubtedly they all acquitted themselves creditably. The dreary mechanical style was noticeably gbsent and the entire program was characterized by vim, feeling ana seul. "The openiug number, which augured well for the success of the recital, was judiciously aliotted to the Philomela quartette, which consisted ot ladies who have already made a reputation_as soloists of high order, Mrs. Sunderland, Miss Ctara Clarkson, Miss Bishop and Mrs. Moeller. The opening solo was efitrusted to Miss Palmer, who rendered Emery’s “Burst, Ye Apple Buds,” in a very charming manner. Her voice promises briiliant things. Mrs, Matheson followed with ‘‘Answer,” and feeling. Miss Kennedy, who sang “The Secret,” by Ganss, was timid, but is mevertheless the possessor of a telling voice which will *‘take” when she has overcome hery nervousness,and that will only require a.little time ana_self- confidence. Il Miss Clara Clarkson and Miss Bishop sang Yarnall's arrangement of Rubinstein's melody so well known to'the music lover,and sang it with artistic taste. The blending of tone was exquusite, and/the piece was warmly received. Perhaps at the next re- cital we may hear these ladies in solo work, when they can expect dswarm a reception. Seldom has Mr. Walter Wilkins ‘a0 happily wakened up to & soug as he aid in his rend1- tion of Chadwick’s beautiful selection ‘‘Be- foro the Dawn.” His articulation was ‘a trifle weak, but his quality of tone and the verve which he dispiayed in his singing was decidedly good. Miss Coon sang Donizetti's aria *‘O luce dt quest/ anima,”in a creaitable manner. She is still young aud her improvement has been so marked in the past few months that it is safe to predict that she will make a good vo- calist, A pleasing intermezzo was Schilling’s har- monization of the old melody, “The Biue Bells of Scotland” rendered by the Philome- ia quartette, This selection was very har- monious and catching and the audience would willingly have listened to its rendition. Miss Oliver was just u trifle sharp In “Heart's Delight,” (Gilchrist) but after the first verseshe seomed to catch the inspira- tion of the music and sang with good eftect. Miss Woolworth followed in Arditi’s *‘Par- la,” and seemed in better voice than usual and her work was conscientiously doue, Mrs. Whitney sang Temple’s *“Fond Heart, Farewell.” in good ~style, notwithstanding the fact that she competed with an impromp tu vox bumana obligato in the form of & crying infant. This obligato was sustained also during Miss Amy Barker’s solo, when Mvrs. Cotton made a slight pause during wbich the aear child was removed, Miss Barker deserves commendation for the won- derful equanimity she displayed in this emergency and at the conclusion of the solo, she fairly brought down the house. Mrs. Sunderiand sang Rossini’s difficult aria “‘Una Voce” in an admirable manner, execution was faultless and her interpreta- tion good. This artisticand well selected program was concluded by the daintiest of dainty choruses “Dragon Flies' (Bargiel), which, by the way, has captured many eastern audi ences, Mrs. Cotton must feel proud of her pupils, as they do of her, for seldum has a more gratifying program been given by local tal- ent, Robyn’s which was sting with good taste — Horse Skating In St, Louls, St. Louts, Mo, Jan. 28.—The new track at East $t.
