Thurston-Bryan Debates. The following is the latest manifesto in ponnection with the proposed debates be- ween Hon. John M. Thurston and Hon, W. b Bryan: OMAHA, Oct. 11.—Hon. J. C. Wharton, ¥ion. Brad. D. Slaughter, Hon. R. 8. Hall— Gentlemen: 1 have yours of yesterday in- forming me that you have accepted the mavagement on behalt of Hon. John M. Thurston of the debates proposed between Mim and Hon. W. J. Bryan, and that you are ready, eto, to arrange the details. I therefore address you instead of Mr. Thurs- ton concerning his letter of acceptance and the conditions by him named thereln. My dnvitation expressly reserved the arrange- nent of all detalls to representatives to be appointed by each party. Instead of doing this, however, Mr. Thurston has arranged all material detalls himself without con- sulting with Mr. Bryan or any person repre- senting him. He has fixed the dates of demo- the debates, the places where they shall take place, the length of time each speaker shall speak, how admission shall be secured to the hall, and the man- mer in_which the audience shall conduct it- self. There are, however, but two of these conditions to which we are disposed to except —the opening and closing at Omaha and the admission by tickets. We recognize that since there are to be but two debates he who has the opening and closing at Omaha, where lies the great battlefield, and where can be accommodated an audlence five times as large s at Lincoln, has a great advantage over the other. This might fall, however, in any event to Mr. Thurston, but we should have an equal opportunity with him to secure it. With Tefecence to the admission by tickets, it Is fairly certaln that no one will get in that Is not a partisan of either side, and yet it is those who are not partisans who should have an opportunity to hear the discussion We are seeking votes, and hence proposed the debates. But notwithstanding our objections to these conditions, It they cannot be changed we will accept them. At the earliest possible moment I shall convene a meeting of the executive committee in order that complete details for the great discussion shall be perfected. In the mean- time I shall be glad to meet you and, as far as I may, prepare everythimg for the debate Very truly yours, C. J. SMYTH, Chalrman.

Hon. Benjamin Butterworth, congressman from Ohio, will address a meeting of re- publicans in Omaha tonight. He fs con- sidered one of the ablest aides-de-camp of overnor McKinley, and has the reputation of being one of the most forcible stump yrators in the republican party. His text, when speaking in his own district or his own state, is always a broad one, furnishing the basis for a discussion of the main points of difference between the re- publican and opposing parties. Tolitieal Pointers. The Fifth ward couneil of the Municipal league have endorsed W. A. Saunders, publican, for councilman of that ward. R. Getty decided to run for the councll in the Third ward and secured his petition, but was just twenty minutes late in filing it. J. H.

Eastern Capltalists Given a Grand Reception and Banquet in the Booming Town. EDGEMONT, 8. D., Oct. 11.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The eastern business men's speclal train reached here yesterday noon, where they were welcomed by a very large number of cilizens. After being given a boat ride on Lake Calvert they were taken by their special fourteen miles west, where convey- ances were in waiting to carry them to the large dam at the head of the famous Edge- mont power canal. Arriving at the canal they thoroughly inspected its well built dam and flume, and after admiring its lovely lukes and the level stretch of land irri- gated by it, they again returned to this place. Later in the day they were taken by their special to Buena Vista, there to view the magnificent seene of the mid-repub- lic city of Edgemont, 1,000 feet below, made beautiful as it is by the sheen of the Chey- enne river In the foreground, while the bil- lowy swell of the prairie stretched far away in the rear and the pine clad Black Hills on either hand added enchantment to the bewitching landscape. From Buena Vista point they went to inspect the buffstone quarry, a short distance from this place, ‘and after having exhausted their djectives in praise of the stone and having prophesied that it would ultimately be used in all the more important structures of the west, they again returned to this city to while away their time awalting the banquet lo be given in their honor at the Burlington hotel. At 8 o'clock the dining room was thrown open to the twenty-four visitors and to a like number of the principal business men of this city, and no finer spread ever gladdened the eyes of a party in either of the cities of Chicago, Boston or New York. It would be useless to atlempt by wire or by pen to convey any fair idea of the addresses and of the festivities of the evening. It Is sufficient to say the visitors each and all declared that not only were they delighted at what they had seen, but that the half of what gave hope to Edgemont’s future had not been told them by that prince of gentle- men and sound business man, their genial triend and host, Mr. Francis C. Grable of Omaha. They further stated that in thelr deliberate judgment as business men, Bdge- mont was' destined in the near future to bo the largest and most prosperous city in this portion of the northwest. Besides, they asserted that they mnot only were entirely satisfied with their Investments here, which had been made by them wholly upon Mr. Grable's recommendation, but that they should advise their eastern friends to also place their money in Edgemont property, while at the same time they themselves would make further like Investments, being moved to do so solely by what they had seen and knew of the resources of the city and vicinity. They further assured their Edgemont friends that all of the enterprises promised by Mr. Grable for the city's future ad- vancement could and should be car- ried out to the fullest letter. Many of the citizens also made short addresses, Mr. Savage delivering the one of welcome, while the Burlington agent at this point assured all present that the orporation he represented would do ai o its power to advance each and every enterprise begun for the upbuilding of this city. This report would not be full without stat- ing that Hon. N. K. Griggs, the B. & M. atlorney for this division, chancing to pass through the city, was compelled by the guests to wait over to take a hand fn the merry- making. During the evening he recited a number of his poems, including “Ben Mav- erick,” *Joe and the Blizzard,” to give the visitors an idea of western life as ke knew it. His poems aroused great enthusiasm among the visitors and they declared that Mr. Griggs’ lines gave them a better and a more vivid pletura of western character and incident than anything they had ever before heard or rea et e SIXTY PERSONS INDICTED, Millions of Dollars Worth of Pine Land Stolen from the Goverament. MADISON, Wis.,, Oct. 11.—Strong rumors are afloat that the federal grand jury in ses- slon here has returned indictments against sixty people for conspiracy to defraud the United States by subornation perjury. The reported indictments are all in connection with fraudulent land entries and swindles at Ashland, Wis.,, by which millions of dollars worth of pine lands were stolen from the government. Strong efforts were made last night to learn the truth or falsity of the rumor, but it was impossible to do so. The oficials, grand jurymen and all others who knew whether the same is true or not are sworn to absolute secrecy, and deeline to discuss the matter at all. Color is lent to the report by the fact that all parties connected with the grand jury refused to deny that the in- dictments have been brought, except in two cases. o——— Shot Himself Before the Trial, DETROIT, Oct. 11.—Joseph Lichtenburg, one of the school Inspectors under indict- ment for receiving a bribe, probably fatally shot himself this morniug. His case was to begin In the recorder's ofice today.

LINCOLN, Oct. 11.—~(Special.)—Over 1,000 pages of testimony were filed yesterday in the case of J. T. McDonald against J. A, Buckstaff and others. The evidence was that adduced before Referee J. H. Broady, whose decision was filed the other day, and some of It s decidedly interesting. Tho case, a8 it will be remembered, was brought by McDonald to recover the sum of $22,000 claimed to be due as his share of the profits oft a contract for city paving. Buckstaff entered a cross petition wherein he set up that McDonald misstated facts to the council when he tola them that the contract price was $1.75, and not $1.75%, as claimed by Buckstaff, and that the half cent addition in the contract was a forgery. He also re- lated that there were lobbying expenses in- cident to getting the contract approved by the council, of which McDonald should pay his share, and various other expenses. The testimony of W. H. B. Stout, one of the defendants, was to the effect that Me- Donald was in on the deal, as was he and Buckstaft, and Referee Broady practically found for the defendants. Buckstaft relates how McDonald repre- sented himself to be an expert in the pav- ing business: how he got up In council meet- ing and testified that the one-half cent ad- dition in the contract price was a forgery, and how he worked against the allowance of the claim. Mr. Buckstaff, in comment- ing upon the various expenditures, of which he thought McDonald should pay a share, says that one check, payable to Bushnell and Hyde, was given for having the paving written up in their newspapers. He says there had been a great deal of complaint about the paving, and that the papers were asked to compliment the work and state that the paving was progressing as fast as possible Among the exhibits along with the testi- mony s a note payable to the Columbla National bank for $450, signed by H. M. Rice, formerly a member of the council, and J. A. Bucksiaff as surety. The note was paid by Buckstaff. Aside from this rather suggestive exhibit, are other accounts and checks, one of the latter, for $50, being pay- able to Loule Meyer for lobbying expenses. The expenses of this description amount in all to nearly $5,000. LINCOLN IN BRIEF.

AMUSEMENTS, Julta Marlowe in “School for Scandal.” It has been a number of years since an Omanha andfence has had the rare pleasure of listening to Brinsley Sheridan’s brilliant satire upon the lco-encss of Engli h moral ty during the period of the Georges, “The School for -Scandal.”” Of late years it has been the aim and purpose of dramatists to give a patter and spray to their work rather than that food for thought which characterizes the writings of Sherldan, Knowles and those other worthies who ha illumined the dramatic page by their bril- liancy, their versatility and their profound grasp of current events which they so finely satirized. The modern idea seems to be to make & song of sixpence caper as merrily to ure as one's feet caper to the seduc- tive charms of a waltz. In the midst of this tendency toward the superficial, that sop to age, there comes a little woman with th urage of her coi victions, and by the revival of old pl places her audiences under many obligations for the breathing spell she affords them from the drivel which passes current on the stage as comedies, farcical and musical, and other forms of entertainment having but a single purpose—to amu: Last night Julia Marlowe Taber, as this charming woman is to be known henceforth, made a representative audience at Boyd's acquainted with ““The School for Scandal,” a play that I8 hardly ¥n to the present generation of th and won a measure of Suc no means as ned in other plays of her repertoire. Whether the young artiste did the proper thing in rescuing from ungenerous neglect this keen satire upon the morals of the “grand ones of earth,” who circled about the Tnglish court In the last century, is yet an unsolved question, for the Judgment of the publ slow, and from last night's performance it would not be fair to the star or her company to condemn the resurrection. While the play is very broad in its treatment of social problems, the women appearing in the llght of scandal mongers, the men as tale bearers and be- trayers of virtue and innocence, it abounds in beauty of sentiment and cleverness of great a_triumph as she hi but by idea that could not be extracted from a dozen plays which are endured with com- plalsance nowadays. Essentially o stock play, it requires a ¢ mpany (f sterling actors to properly bring out all Its beauty, and last night the company which surrounds M Marlowe did not realize all that is required of them. Of Miss Marlowe's Lady Teazle might be written in praise; derable in the way of Kindly critic he refined beauty of the artiste is still predominant, her personalily remains the same, Reason as you will, beauty and youth are ever present theatrical factors. ~They influence engagements now as they did years and years ago, they affect the receipts and they even go so far as to color criticlsm, Gather in your mind the reminiscences of the women of the past. Do you remember what they did or how they looked? Can you tell much | how Adelaide Nellson did the potion scene or can you only recall her sweet, dreamy face in the balcony scene? Did you ever hear a veteran speak Robertson without beginning y2 All that the *'boys ni is that she had corn and wine in her face. 8o, too, will Julia Marlowe be nembered when she passes Off the stage. There may be an old stager who will praise her Constance, who will worship at the shrine of her Viola, but the thousands will speak of her eyes, her finely modeled chin, her voice that has a flute in it, but 1 will remember her Lady Teazie. Whi rings 1o the part much that i comme while she 15 as full of sparkle as champi as full of freshness as a May mornin full of color as the shifting sea, the finesse the long experlence ‘as the role re- quires, Here and there sh; of the genius that seeks o elf known, very often dropped back into the commo place, marring the picture, at the same time somewhat dampening the ardor of her friends in front, who were not overly ei thusiastic, But i m- pulsive, warm-hearted, full of life, full of gayety, and there was i measture of cempen- sation in all this, even if she did not fill the author's idea 'of the part Next to Miss Marlowe, Miss Rose Eyting won a fine recognition’ as Mrs. playing the scandal bearer with Rimor, 'The Maria of Mrs. Woodward wi a dainty bit, her reading be jcularly refined, in keepin th the character. Mr. . A Peter was really # ing from a hoarseness which made his lines often unintelligible, his scenes with Lady Teazle were playea with finished ability, and his interview with Joseph Surface a clever bit of acting. Mr. Collins, in the role of Sir Oliver, was another pleasing surprise, which may be sald of Mr. Coleman as Charies, but Mr., Taber as Joseph was stiff, il at ease and gave an almo olorless’ portraiture of the young scamp who comes very nearly ruining his friend's housenold through a too fond devotion for Lady Teazle, Villains, f the George period, are not in Mr. line. He is essentlally a lover, ro- mantlc la every respect, and Miss Marlowe must not offend the equities by casting her husband in any other part except. that of the love lorn gentleman inditing sonnets to his mistress’ eyebrow. Crablree and [ Everill as Sir Although suffer- Backbite were fn competent hands, but the § others were not 1n any degree strong. Tony Farrell In “Garry Owen.” The liberty with which modern play- wrights have drawn upon the Irish char- acter has supplied the stage with much that is good and much more that is strained and unsatistactory. “Garry Owen,” as played by Tony Farrell and his company at the Fifteenth Street theater last night, is one of the best of all the stories of Irish life which have been seen on the local stage. As a melodrama it has more than usual merit and, supplemented by new and ente taining musical features, its performance is in the highest degree enjoyable. While Tony Farrell is not a great Irish comedian, he is e enough to please the average rgoer, and his rendition of the old Irish songs is more than sufficient to atone for any deficiencies in his more humorous passages. But the character of Garry Owen demands not only a comedian, but an actor, and in the more tragio scenes of the story Mr. Farrell is a most satisfactory hero The singing is the most pleasing feature of the performance, and repeated encores rewarded each selection. The mixed quartet rendered some delightful selections and the rendition of the vespers music in the d act was received with the applause which it deserved. Taken as a whole, the per- formance was one of the best that has been seen here this season and well deserved the large audience which received it with en- thusiastic approbation, ——— MONTANA TOUCH ARR STEp, William G 088 Will Be Brought Haek from Missouri for Morder.
