HOLCOMB IS HOLDING COURT Nebraska's Next Governor Quietly At- tending to the Business of His Distriot. BESET BY A HORDE OF PLACE SEEKERS Men Anxious for Appointive OMces Flock to Mroken Bow—Evidence of Gross rregularities In the Election is Accumulating. BROKEN BOW, Neb, Nov. 18.—(Special) —“Holcomb" s the mame inscribed on a banner run up to the highest point of the pennant pole in Broken Bow's great public square, and, although the town gave a plural- ity of @ few votes to the Peruvian states- man, the breast of tho averase Broken How resident swells several inches with pride | when he contempla the fact that Ne- | braska's next governor is his own distin. guished fellow citizen. This is also the home of that other populist celebrity, Congress- man Omar Madison Kem. The fact that these two champions of the people’s party | and no more wers successful at the recent election 1s pointed to with considerable pride by the Broken ow populists. Judge Holcomb is giving any intention he may posse his place on the bench at this (ime. He is | patlently hearing the trial of a long drawn- out breach of promise case. The prosecution 1s represented by Judge Hamer and the de- fense by Attorney Sullivan. Both are con- sidered likely candidates for Judge Holcomb's place on the bench in the event that his resignation is presented to Governor Crounse The usual quota of bald heads are listening to the somewhat salacious testimony pre- sented and there are many aspirants for po- litleal appointments in tae court room, who an the serene countenance of the coming governor and fall to hear t esting evi- dence. In fact, Broken Bow has become a| Mecca for statesmen looking for jobs. It is | understood on reliable information that Judge Holcomb has reserved his expression of prel- erence in each event until all applications | are in and the qualifications of each aspirant are carefully welghed. Probably thirty days will elapse before the expectant throng will be made miserable by the announcement of the judge's choice for the few. In the mean- time the Broken Bow hotels are reaping a golden harvest. Judge Holcomb maintains an imperturbable demeanor and a placid front, despite the ev- idently annoying persistence of the place seekers. In the morning he breakfasts early with his family, speaks a few words with the early birds who have gathered at his res- idence to preent their cases, and hurries down to his law office by 8 o'clock. For an hour there he looks over an cver-increasing pile of letters, holds a hurried levee with the political pilgrims, and commences the day's business in court. In the evening he makes | an attempt at answering the day's mail. Apropos of the ery of fraud made by the B. & M. element s supporters, it | i interesting to note that a great part of | Judge Holc s mail is filled with evidence | of gross fraud committed by the republican | managers. These marked irre; are | not confined to any one section of the !'\1\‘,[ but come from a great number of counties in every part of Nebraska. The manipulations | were remarkable for their boidness, and no concealment of names or designs was mad i many instances. “Old Sleuth” would be ! put to shame if he knew of the effective work done without solicitation by the friends of an honest count in securing the names of oftenders and the methods pursued in the prostitution of the ballot hoxes. Whether a | vigorous prosecution of these variofs cases will follow has not becn given ont. It is not supposed, -however, that thly’ elaborate collation of facts was made mefely for the pleasure of the work. Judge Holcomb expects to bring this term | of hig.eourd to an end about the middle of this week, wnd is contemplating a visit to Omaha fmmediately thereafter. s no evidence of | | s of resigning | BREAD TICKE LS T0O SPARE, Haker at Schuyler Lenves Pasteboards Behind 1 SCHUYLER, Neb, Nov. 18.—(Special)— H, C.

SAYS IT 18 INPREGNABLE, Commissioner Wright Defends the Strike Report. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—“It s Impreg- nable and the conclusions reached by the strike commissioners were based upon good solld evidence.” This utterance referred to tho recent report of the United States strike committee and was made by Labor Commis- sioner Carrol D. Wright. The statement called forth by the Assoclated dispatch from Chicago, which gave a sketch of an article which it was stated was to ap pear in the next issug of the Railway A in reply to the' report of the strike com mittee. Mr. Wright said those who were hurt by the report and felt its forceful pene- tration would, in their efforts to check its influence, use the weapons of abuse. They cannot, he said, point out the alleged “enormous and Inaccuricies which are in the Age. One of the so-called « errors or inaccuracies made by the commissioners, ac- cording to the Railway Age, was the state- ment that a large number of railroad em- ployes were sworn In as deputy United States marshals to protect railroad property, and that thelr salaries as government law offi- cers were paid by the railroad company and not by the United States. “This statement,” added Mr. Wright, “was testified to before the strike committee by President St. John of the Railway Managers' organization and others on his side of the question. “The strike commissioners did not set out to deal with or investigate Mr. Debs, Mr. Pullman, or Mr. St. John. It was not deal- ing with' individuals, but systems.

S N SUMMER. s Hary ns Tts Delightful tmosphere. eat difference of opinion » are wise in weather lore tima when Indian summer farance, some weather proph ets declaring that it includes every warm day between Michaclmas day, the 29th of eptember, and Christmas, while others lo cate it in the month of October. Indeed, the opinions of scicntists do not agree any be ter than those of ordinary individuals, but seem to be as hazy on the subject as the season itself, After looking up much data on the subject and making a consensus of poj ulas opinion, the fact teems estab the Detroit i"ree Press, that this phenomenon of seasons reaily belongs to the month of There 1s among those as to the exact makes its w app November, although the signal service notes | come | say t it Indian summer does not in" October or November it will come in winter, as if it were a sort of moveable sea- son. Neither do sclentists agree as to the cause of that hazy atmosphere which ac- companies the season, a condftion peculiar to North America, It was attributed by carly settlers in (his country to the smoke prairle fwex kindled by the In- dians—hence the name, “Indlan sum- mer.” But It s now said scientific Investigators, that the appearance a peculiar condition of the air, which might be compared to a dry fog. Sentimentalists declare that it is this dreamy haze which gives its great charm to this short, de- lightful season, when the whole world of ire appears like a_beautiful dream. is the fifth season, the mellow ripeness autumn, when creation stands still in lazy, languorous mood, and the picture is | vanishing and_indistinct like one of Corot's landscapes. It is the golden sunset of the year, brief and evanescent. Like a mirage, the Indian summer does not ait to be investigated, It is here—it is gone before the would-be investigator was aware of its presence. It is such a restful, happy period, that people are content to enjoy it without asking questions, yet there is ‘much in its phenomena that is worth the most careful sclentific investigation. It has been suggested that the dreamy haze which accompanies the season is composed of ani- mal life of such a minute form as to be incapable of microscopic examination, but of such innumerable quantities that they ob- scure the atmosphere and redden the sun. It is also charged to vegetable matter; but these are mere theories which have not yet been proven. So far no unhealthful in- fluences have been evoked nor any fashion- able malady produced to shake our confi- dence in the chance season which, for aught we know, may be a celestial astray, giving us a foretasto of a more delightful climate. Another token by which this genial Indian summer makes itself known is the absolute silence of nature herself, as if she were tak- ing a vacation from winds that blow and clouds that shade. There is such a still- nesy in the air from sunrise to sunsct that sound itself seems to hayve gone asleep. But there is no lonliness in the silence, it is only as if everything were resting, bathed in the happy sunshine. The flowers are gone, the singing birds have flown to, their southern climes, the leaves have dropped from the trees, when the Indian summer comes trail- ing her white veil to cover the desolation, and filling all thearés with the tranquility of her gracious presence. There is a tonic in the air she brings which chemists cannot bot(le nor charge commercial rates for whiffs of sumrhers that have been; contracted into a few days, and gone before we can analyze them to fay, “this is balsam, or that is balme’ (It is a draught for' tho ods. The subject-sof -dndian summer was vestigated as long ago as 1835, when Lyman Foot, bE the -United States a his report thki “the Indians ga ason its name by calling it their summer,” which occurred in Nover doctor was stationed at Fort Missour! territory, (at the time, and wrote from actual dbservation” He sdy “‘We_arrived'at this port on-the dd last November. ~We had three Indian summer, %ith @Il the pe of the sky in great perfecti that he had long observed the season with curious attention and calls for an expres sion of opinion on the subject from other observers. Prof. Willet advanced the theory In a re- port made to the government .in 1867 that the dry fog is real smoke, not produced by rairie fires, but the product of chimneys, he late Prof. Henry of the Smithsonian Institute reported that a portion of the haze, filtered, was found to contain the lava of volcanoes and fragments of burned veges tables. Neither of these distinguished scien- tists added anything to the literature of our Indian summer, so when doctors disagree, it is not expected that ordinary observers will able to form any tenable theory of its course. The next best thing is to enjoy opportunities, leaving its origin to the 1known source whence it Is derivad w England Is especially favored by this after summer guest.

On such days. it is impossible not to love nature, for she evidently loves us. At other’ seasons she does not give this Impression, but in these | happy autumnal days, when she has per- | fected the harvests, life overflows with a blessed superfluity of love.” The caprice of the season is to wait until winter 15 almost upon us, then to drop un- expectedly like a benediction with sunshin and warmth, and a restfulness that soothes and comforts her fractious children, and whisper to them sweet promlizes of heavenly death, i TACITLY UNDERSTOOD.

It is but seldom that an Omaha audience allows fiself to go beyond the per- functory applause which is usually vouch- saed Lo an attraction of even mediocre merit That It outdid itself in this respect last night | I8 sufficient evidence that the performance was in all respects worthy of the flattering endorsement which it recelve It might be sald that the new opera does not afford Miss Hall all the scope which was | allowed by some of her pravious successes. It 0 1o sense a nfirror to reflect the bright- | ness of one particular star. As Dorcas she is as piquant and charming as ever, but inci- dentally the plece introduces a number of other very clever people, with whom the star must share the honors. Dramatically the plece Is well arranged. The plot is easily un- derstood and well calculated to sustain the succession of pleasing melodies which con- stitute its musical features. Briefly stated, the story of “‘Dor is the history of a digidedly Interesting romance in which two young people learn to love each other under { an assumed rank and pame. Lord Lambourne as a sister, Lady Honorla, who has been absent for efght years with her father. An- ticipating her return, her brother wishes to marry her to his friend, Lord Beauregard, | and ihe latter, wishing to meet his destined sweetheart while she Is not aware of his identity, induces Lord Lambourne to intro- | duce him in his household as his private retary. While this is going on the Honoria also concelves the idea that she would Iike to study her future husband under the protection of an assumed character, and roturns to England disguised as a_peddier and accompanied only by her maid. They ar- rive in this character and stop at the village inn, to find that Mugby, the inn keeper, is in a pecic of trouble. He has the misfortune to have married a very pretty wife, whose beauty has come to the knowledge of Lord Lambourne, who has preferred a charge of poaching against Mugby and suggested that it would be for his interest if his wife should come to plead his cause. Mugby is insanely Jealous and sees through his lordship's little trick, but the peddler offers to help him out of his predicament by assuming the char- acter of Mrs. Mugby. Still belicving her to be & man, he consents, and, rigged out in Mrs. Mugby's petticoats, the Lady Hono arrives In her ancestral home. In her as- sumed character she falls in love with the ipposed secretary, while the latter loses his heart beyond recall to the supposed wife of the inn keeper. The transportation of | aracters gives space for any number u{i ughable situations, at the end of which | everything Is explained and Pady Honorla | and Lord Beauregard plight their troth in thelr real characters. From & musical standpoint the performance | is emphatically praiseworthy. The melody fs | pleasing and never tiresome, and the songs | are uniformly worthy of the artists. As for the latier, they deserve nothing but commendation. As Lord Beauregard Mr. J Aldrich Libbel divided honors with the star, and his solo, “Would That I Could Tell ee All I Feel," in the Jast act, evoked the most _enthusiastic approval. Mr. 18 Lord Lambourne was very acceptable, and Mr. Bradshaw as the thick-headed, jealous | liusband of a much admired and coguettish wife scored a decided hit. The drinking fong in the first act, sung as a trio by Messrs, Libbey, Broderick and Clarke, cap- | tured the audience as a beginning and was twice encored. The character of Lady Lam bourne was satisfactorily sung by Miss Jean- ctte St, Henry, while Miss Kate Davis as her maid and sage adviser added a spice of humor with her amusing mutilations of the English langnage and unheard costumes. M | St. Henry was especially pleasing in the chess song with Mr. Libbey, which was a novel feature, delightfully rendered. par- of the Swanee River.” “On the Swanee River,” a story of the Southland, interpreted by Miss Marie Wel- lesley and an evenly baianced company, did a big business at the Fifteenth Stree yesterday afterncon and evening.
