BENNISON BROS., Council Bluffs, Colonizing Voters. It s reported that the democrats in the Second ward are preparing a grand sally: for votes, and are executing the preliminaries in a quiet but effective way which will cause republicans to open wide their eyes on elec- tlon day unless something is done to coun- teract the operations now going on. ney Grahl, the Second ward candidate for alder- man on the democratic ticket, Is a German and has a large following among the Ger- man_citizens. Unfortunately, however, all the Germans of the city do not live In the Second ward, and so Mr. Grahl's friends are hustling around to import as many as pos- sible between now and clection day. It s only necessary for a man to live in a pre- cinct ten days in order to vote, and between now and the 24th it is stated that a large importation of Grahl democrats may be looked for from other wards which are so unfortunate as not to be allowed to vote for ward aldermen this year. In fact, the col- onization scheme has already been begun, and the Tremont house, Neumayer's hotel and the Northwestern hotel, all of them run by Germans and democrats, are rapidly fili- ing up with people who are willing, for th right kind of a consideration, to chang their boarding places until after election.

For some time past the repre- sentatives of the Bast Omaha Land company have noticed that a small frame building, which was unoccupied, has been slowly vanishing, and a watch was set to sea what was the reason. The three tailors were making way with the lumber and were nabbed by ‘the police. In court yesterday morning ‘they told a pitiful story about their poverty and misfortune, and said that it was either steal or freeze, and they p ferred to steal. Judge McGee took their case under advisement until today George Myers, who was picked up Thurs- day night while stealing coal from a North- western flat car, also told a tale of woe when arralgned before the judge, and his case was also taken under advisement.

Everybody knows Davi —— AMUSEMENTS, Lovers of the dran given an ex- cellent treat at Boyd's new opera house last night in the presentation of the “Duel of Hearts,” a thrilling romance which brought into full play the talents of the emotional actress, M Maida Craigen. And the audience suffered no disappointment In their expectations of sceing a good play well cast. Miss Cr was ably supported by Fred- erick Paulding, who is so well known in Omaha. This young man has developed into an actor of more than ordinary merit, and many officers and their wives, friends of the young man from Fort Omaha, were present to applaud his efforts, As a curtain ralser “One of You Mu Marry,” put the audience in a good humor. This is a little farce translated from the German and was well produced. The “Duel of Hearts” s a romance which brings out all the powers of emotion, boih of Miss Craigen and Mr. Paulding, and is a sort of a dramatic love story from the be- ginning. Miss Craigen took the part of Lady Austin Stanhope, and Paulding repro- senfed Bugene de Ligny. Both had had affairs of the heart in which true love was not a prime factor before their meeting at the house of a mutual friend. They ex- changed confidences and became interested in each otlier, but they were cynical about lovo affairs and true love. A challenge of hearts was made and accepted, but just as they became in love in earnest with each other de Ligny thinks he discovers the di- rect cause of his brother’s death by suicide, and after a painful dramatic denoument in the second act he casts Lady Stanhope from him and seeks relief in Yoreign lands, Lady Stanhope becomes insane after this dre dful scene and kept repeating it each evening at the hour in which it occurred, Her life was dispaired of. 'Then came the happy recon- cillation, the return of her reason with the usual happy ending. Wales Winter as Sir John Brooke, M. D., and Hollis Alexander as Sir Larry 0'Don- nell, who were friends of both the principal characters, gave Miss Craigen good assist- ance The remainder of the com yowas fairly good. Miss Craigen is an actress of force and ability and she was charming as the bewitching young widow, while she was interesting as the heartbroken, for- saken woman. She is not yet well known In the west, but she enjoys a fine reputation in the east, and she is the kind of an actress who will find friends wherever she goes in this part of the country. She Is young, graceful, has a charming manner and seems to have a true conception of her part, which she brings out so distinctly that so it once gains the sympathies of her auditors. The performance will be repeated this aft- ernoon and evening.

The bill provides for the appointment of ‘a nonpartisan commission consisting of five persons, two of whom shall be named by the house, one by the senate and two the supreme court. The members must all be learned in the law and have practice the same for at least ten consccutive years. All votes on decisions shall be omitted, and all laws of a local or special nature. The commission shall begin its work by September 1, 1804, and complete its labors by November 1, 1895, and recommend what further legislation it may deem necessary It is the intent of the bill that the code shall be printed by the state by the last date named above, and two copies furnished the members of the next general assembly.

Miss Marie Tempest, whose many s cesses upon the English and American stage have placed her in the front rank of operatic stars, admitted frankly upon a recent occasion that she 1s frequently attacked by stage fright. Miss Tempest combines u voice of extraordinary pitch and sweeetness with thedramatic fervor of an emotional actress to a greater de- gree probably than any other prima donna now upon the English speaking stage, and the statement will be n sur- prise’ to thousands of her admire whom she has impressed as the personi- fication of supreme confidence and self- control, *The lapse,” sh as b sensation is one of utter col- aidy ‘it is truly an awful feeling and is nearer toseasickness than anything else I know of. Players with a highly nervous organization are sure to be attacked by it when approaching the climax of an important part, or when appearing for the frst time in a new play. Those playing emotional roles nre more susceptible tostage fright than others, hecause the individual pable of portraying those parts succes fully is necessarily possessed of highl nervous und impressionable tempers ment. “In one respect a highly developed nervous organization 1s indispensable to success, as without ita proper concep- tion and feeling of the part to be acted are impossible. You kunow an actress must not only understand hor part. but be so absorbed in it that she forgets her own personality, and for the time being lives in her assumed character “Then great nervous excitability is a decided advantage to an actress? “In the way 1 have described, yes; as a general proposition, no, ‘The mental strain, the intense app'ication nec § to a proper realization of the part, the apprehension that the audience may be criticising you adversely, and the con- duced market prices.

At tho close of last season I was completely prostrated by nervous prosuration and overwork. My nerves were so unstrung that the slightest sounds startled me, and I became sleep- less, melancholy and ivritable. Sick and disheartened, I sought the homo of an old and dear friend, who immedinte- ly advised me to use u brain and nerve food of which I had heard much but knew comparatively little. [ would have taken anything sho chose to give me, but I liked the taste of the prepara- tion and continued its use. I had not consumed one bottle when [ found that that my nervous system had resumed its normal tone. I no longer jumped at shadows, my appetite came back, each night brouzht sound and refroshing sleep, and [ am now in perfect health and vigor, through o systematic uso of Paine's celery compound., The present season has been the most successtul, and therefore the most exncting, of my ca- roer, bub the invaluablo remedy which restored my health has also presoerved it. T have also recommended it to numbers of my friends, and in every caso with most fortunate results.” The beautiful prima donna looked the picture of henlth as sho spoke. Her large bluo eyes sparkled with animation and her countenance lit up with an ex- pressive smile thatenhanced the chara- ing vivacity of her manner as she re- marked: *[ have found that devotion to a chos- en pursuit is not iucompatible with good health. If all the men and women, the clergymen, teachers, merchants and lawyers in this busy country, whose overtaxed brains cry out in protest against the heavy burdens laid upon them, were to embruce this remedy, I am sure there would be a marked de- crease in that terrible disease, nervous prostration, which seems fast becoming a national one with you Americans, Success is, indeed, a glorious thing, but ealth is better,” * Ty & Co A complete assortment of all grades of furniture, from the , recently purchased at the re- 1206-1208 Douglas St. Wheye Do You Buy Youy « « If you want fivst-cluss m day und if you wint to buy 1oy Dok MEATS frash every at tho very roy's Noew Moat Mar- y npure thoso prices with u hivve been paying Roast Beef, from, ., ., Sirloin Steak, from Porterbiouse Steak, frou; Round Steak, from " He to Rib and Chuck Steak, f L e o Boiling Beof, from.... ... .
