The day before Christmas Allison Foote, a farmerish looking fellow hailing from Blencoe, a., called him and an- nounced that he was in a peck of trouble. He had come to town intending to buy Christ- mas presents for his family, but when he got here he fell among thieves and found limsel{ strapped. He had plenty of money !in the Blencoe bank, but the storekeepers Mdn't know him and wouldn't honor his | check. Unless Maloney would do the right | thing by him he would have to go home | without the red ealico dress for Sally Ann | and the candy cane for the baby. Maloney stepped to the front, although he had only seen Foote a few times, and rescued the feelings of Sally Ann and the baby by writ- ing a note to John Beno & Co., in which he sald: The bearer wants to buy a bill of goods from you. I know him, and his check is all right. WILLIAM MALONE Yesterday he received a package through the mail containing the check for $26, signed by Allison Foote, and a neatly worded no- tice of protest. The check had been present- ed at the Bank of Blencoe for payment, which was refused for lack of funds.

Trimble at Keokuk, with reference to Frank Trimble, whose unhappy fate is well known to readers of The Bee, He says that since being taken to the hos- pital for the Insane at Mount Pleasant he has been more quiet, but there fs little In his present condition that is encouraging. He is suffering, the doctor says, from a pro- gressive organic brain trouble, and if this is %0, his time is undoubtedly short. The only hope which his friends now indulge is that the physician may have made a mistake in diagnosing tho case. This news will be un- welcome (o the many friends of the unfor- tunate young man in Council Bluffs. It had been supposed all along that he was suffering mainly from nervous prostration, which, after a period of rest, would leave him in good health, but it now looks as though there is but little hope for his recovery.

Amateur Theatricals. “Blue and Gray” was the title of a play that was presented at Dohany's opera house last evening, under the auspices of the High school cadets, A good sized audience greeted the production. Some of the players showed a good deal of dramatic skill. Like all ama- teur performances, the element of comedy was not wanting, even if no great amount of it was intentionally put there by the author. In the last act a number of special- tles were Introduced, which took well with the audien During an intermission great battle scene was put before the audi- ence, fn which the blue and the gray un- mercifully peppered one another with leaden hail, and although some of the orchestra camo dangerously near being suffocated, no fatalities were reported from behind the scenes, The entertainment was given for | the purpose of ralsing funds with which to equip the cadets. The latter have gone (o a great deal of trouble in making prepara tions, and the opera house should be well filled” at the performances this afternoon and evening. Mr. J. K. Fowler, secrefary and treasurer of the Corinne Mill, Canal and Stock com- pany, of Corinne, Wtah, In speaking of Cham- | berlain's Cough Remedy, says: "I consider it | the best in the market. I have used many kinds, but find Chamberlain’s most prompt and effectual in giving rellef, and now keep no other in my home.” When troubled with a cold or cough give this remedy a trial, and We assure you that you will be more than pleased with the result. | 20 per cent discount on all trimmed hats at Mrs. Ragsdale's, | Domestic soap outlasts che: Mum 15 Keed's Word, Freeman Reed, the newly elected clerk of the district court, refuses to enlighten the public with reference to who is to be his deputy in thie city.

Smiley, Stewart Allen and Hugh Harting. On Thursday even- ing Mr. Russell will make his first appear- ance here as Dr. Pangloss in the classic old comedy “The Heir at Law.” It has long been his ambition to play the part of Dr Pangloss, which is one of Joseph Jefferson's successes, and baing enconraged by the senfor comedian he tried It and has made an em- phatic success of it this season. The bill ning will be his great play, “Peaceful Val For the closing per- formance ‘A Poor Relation” will put on. There is nothing on the American stage superior to Sol Smith Russell's {mpersonation of the impecunious inventor, Noah Vale. It raitks with the best cfforts of the best actors—with Booth's “Hamlet” or Mr. Jef ferson's “Rip Van Winkle.” The sale of ts for Mr. Russell's entire engagement opened yesterday, and the demand was very good, the most marvelous men of the day will be seen at Boyd's theater on Thurs- day and Friday evenings next and Saturday matince when the Seadow Trocadero Vaude- villes begin an engagement. No man of our times has excited so much interest or been more written and talked about than Sandow, the extraordinary athlete. The public which lias thronged the theaters where he has ap- peared has wondered at ‘his marvelous feats of strength, and eminent sclentists who have examined him have expressed wonder at his marvelous physical development. Mus- cles were found on his body that have never before been discovered on any other human being. The muscles of his stomach have the appearance of a corrugated washboard, and quite as interesting and astonishing as his feats of strength is the exhibition which he gives of the marvelous control which he has over his muscles. The organization in- cludes *“The Lucifers,” grotesques from the principal music halls of London; ‘“Tom Browne,” the eminent double-note whistler; “Billy ' Van,” comedian; “Mile. Mar- guerite,” the beautiful and ac- complished equilibrist, her first appearance in_ America; “Miss Scottie,” the clever cal- culator and’ card-playing collie dog, exhibit- ing the highest animal intelligence ever at- tained; “Ben Dunham” (late Marlo & Dun- ham), the premier bar performer of the world; “Amann,” Burope's greatest facial mimic; “The Marvelous Jordan Family,” as- tonishing aerial acrobats In indescribable feats, and the peerless Sandow in his re- markable acts of strength, which have o astonished the world. One of There is perhaps no other comedian alive today that our theater-going public would rather have engaged for a_holiday attraction than the quaint and homely Sol Smith Rus- sell, and the announcement that he is com- ing to the Boyd the former part of next week will bring joy to the hearts of a great many people, both old and young. On Mon- day evening Mr. Russell will commence his engagement at the Boyd in a character that is somewhat new to him, and in which he was never scen in Omaha—Dr. Pangloss, in Coleman’s old English comedy, “The Heir at Law.” This will be the novelty of the en- gagement. At the New Year's matinee the great comedian appears in the character of Noah Vale in Kidder's play, “A Poor Re- lation.” This is the play the young people like best of all in Russell's repertoire, New Year's night “Peaceful Valley” will ba the bill, Mr. Russell assuming the chdracter of Hosea Howe, the honest New England coun- try lad. The engagement will close Wednes- day evening with a repetition of “A Poor Relation.” This morning at 9 o'clock the sale of seats will open for the entire en- gagement of Mr. Russell, and purchasers will have to get in line early if they expect to get desirable seats. Sandow, one of the most talked-of men of modern times, will make his first appearance next week in Omaha at the Boyd. His en- gagement opens Thursday night and closes with the Saturday matinee, when he will appear with a famous organization known as the Sandow Trocadero Vaudevilles. San- dow has thus far appeared in less than half a dozen cities of America, and yet his mar- velous feats of strength have excited such extraordinary comment and notice that his name has become a veritable household word, as it also is in Europe. A more mag- nificent specimen of physical manhood never lived. Eminent sclentists have declared him to be “The Physically Perfect Man.” On Thursday afternoon next, at the Mil- lard hotel, Bugen Sandow, the modern Her- cules, will give a private exhibition of his wonderful physical development before a se- lect number of medical’ men and journalists. The affair is limited to twenty, and promises of an interesting lecture are also made. ——— High tariff, low tariff, or no tariff at all: which do you prefer?

Since the publication of the letter from Mrs. O'Brien, from South Omaha, people have been trying to locate the missing woman. Her husband thinks that she has gone to Glenwood, Ia., where she has friends and relatives, but the people of South Omaha are equally certain that she Is in Sarpy county near this c'ty. Mayor Johnston ordered Chief of Police Brennan Friday night to cloge all the poker gambling rooms in South Omaha. The chief complied with the orders and the keepers of sixteen poker rooms were loitering on the streels yesterday without visible means of support. A large box of clothing and supplies has been received from Kansas City for the needy in South Omaha. Some of the Magic City citizens are fnclined to regard the offering in the nature of an insult, as the city on the Kaw is jealous of the infantile municipality on the Missourl. However, the goods have been distributed among the deserving poor. Frank J. Broadwell has returned from a trip to Loutsville.
