RELPED Threo Days' Adjonrnment of the Legisla- turs Productive of Some Good, ROUTINE WORK B:ING PUSHED AHZAD Members Clearing Away the Rabbish and Getting Ready for the Last Twenty Days of Real Effort at Lawmaking, LINCOLN, Feb., 24.—(Speclal.)—The ad- Journment of the legislature over Friday and Baturday was vigorously opposed in both branches, on the ground that work was be- hind, and demanded the attention of the mem- ‘bers. While this is true, it Is not so certain that adjournment has not facilitated work. Several commiltees have been busy during tho interim advancing thelr work and get- ting It In shape for practical legislation. Many of the members, especially chalrmen of committees, did not leave Lincoln to enjoy a brief respite at home until last night. A Joint committee has been enabled, by the ad- Journment, to visit the fish hatcherics under charge of the fish commission. It reports haying found everything in excellent shape. Then, too, but three more working days re- main in the house for the Introduction of bills. The adjournment will prevent a swamp of undigested and ill-considered measures be- ing dumped Into that body to take up the time of committces of the whole. Members who are anxious for the success of important bills, will, naturally, hold back the weaker measures in the line of rifi-raff, and the house files will not be lumbered with them. There are quite a number of most important measures which must come up for acti early In the weck. Among them is the Omaha charter bl By the legislature at large this measure is regarded as a purely Tocal affair, entircly different from the anti- oleo bill. The dissension, It any, over this measure, will arise In the Omaha delegation, Lincoln, too, has a charter bill on the stocks, and In very much the same condition of ad- vancement as the Omaha matier. And It is becausa these measures are considered *no funeral” of members outside of Douglas and Lancaster counties, that so little interest has been manifested in either house in these bills, The bills oroviding for constitutional amendments are to have an airing at an early day. So far, discussion concerning them has developed the fact that the majority of them are popular with both branches of the Tegislature. No bitter fight has, as yet, been threatened against any one of them. The house last week passed a few banking and loan agency bills, which are likely to meet with some opposition In the senate, and, pos- sibly be amended out of shape. The gencral appropriation bills must come in to the housc before next Thursda 1t is not expected that they will be extravagant. Strong pressurc has been brought upon the committee on finance, ways and means to duce it to recommend a number of addi- tlonal clerkships, and many additional build- ings to the state institutions. Disappoint- ment awalts the suggesters of these measures, Tho finance, ways and means committee will work In exact accordance with the present financial condition of the state treasury, and ;lhnl means retrenchment all along the ne. It is undeniable, however, that events are still in store for both Thera have been introduced several bills of aggression and retaliation. Of course, out of such a combination, compromise must result. several houses. FARMER DANGEROUSLY INJURED, Thrown from a Wagon Team. TECUMSEH, Neb., Feb. 24.—(Speclal.)—C. 8.

The members of the Epworth league of the Methodist church gave a *Boot and Shoe" scclal in the Wolfe building Thursday even- ing. There must have been something de- cidedly impressive about the baot or shoe portion of the entertainment, as a dog that had followed its master into the room jumped out through a plate glass window, thus destroying the profits of several such soclals, which the young people will be obliged to give in order to make good the damage.

AMUSEMENTS. When “Pawn Ticket'2}¢"" became the prop- erty of Lotta some seven years ago and was produced with a strong cast and well con- sidered sceniec accessories, with the “dramatic cocktall,” as Lotta was familiarly known, In the role of Meg, thg jydgment of theater- goers was unanimous (N favor of the comedy drama, the result of Dayid Belasco and Clay M. Greene's colaboratldd:t The story was in some particulars new, githough the situations were reminiscent of many of the older Eng- lish melodramas, but’ fn their handling a master-hand was seefl;- the working out of detalls leading up to_ the climaxes and (he strong situation in the third act, when Harris Levi, the old Jew maney lender, goes to his death, being enthusiastically received. In the role of Harris, FL.{iAug. Anderson made a sensation, and comparatively unknown be- fore, but always a most careful, consclentious artist, he rose through this one characteriza- tion to great heights as a character actd This was In the past. “Pawn Ticket 210" was found rather heavy for the aundiences Lotta drew, and the play was helved. For five years it has rested quietly, growing, if such a thing be possible, In strength, and now with a new Meg, a new Flash, but the same 01d Harris, “Pawn Ticket 210" is nnce more before the theater-going public and is win ning, if anything, much more fame than when the inimitable littla woman who pro- duced it counted it as thy main piece of her repertore, Last night “Pawn Ticket 210" was produced at the Empire theater and achieved a most complete success, not alone due to the clever handling of the subject by the playwright, but algo to the really capable company which the management has surrounded the stars, who are P. Augustus Anderson, Miss Amy Lee and Mr. Frank Doane, all highly respected members of the profession. In the midst of travesty, burlesque, farce and what not, denominated amuzement on the stage, It was a pleasure to watch the devel- opment of Uncle Harrls in the hands of Mr. Anderson. It is a role so absolutely suited to the man that it is very doubtful if a more virile portraiture could be given, and yet retain fts truthfulnes For years Mr, Anderson has held a high position as a creator of character parts, he has never done anything perfunctorily, and whether he plays a French count of unsavory reputation or a modern Shylock, he brings to the part reason and dramatic ability. He 1s consistent as Uncle Harris, and his death scene in the third act is worthy of a place alongside the masterplcces of the contemporary stage. Migs Amy Lee, who succeeds Lotta in the role of Meg, is a well known player, having been a member of Harrigan's company for several years. Her methods differ materially from those of her predecesscr. While she lacks the lighter, airier touches which Lotta gave the character, she excels in the dramat'c effects, which are essentially a part.of the role, thereby strengthening the stage pic- tures. Miss Lee was suffering from a ere cold last night, but even this did not de- tract from a very acceptable performance. Mr. Doane plays Flash with a good deal of dash, and with Miss Lee sang a number of bright songs. Mr. Sherry made a good deal of John Stembold, while Mr. Wildman as the villain Gregg wi sufficiently satisfactory to make the audience hate him with good old- fashioned expression. Mr. Connor as Charley Saxe, for whom Meg has a very tender feel- ing, was pleasing. Miss Nellie Dunbar made considerable of Alice, who, at least, is a rather negative weman and sang one or two contralto numbers with fine effect. She has a sweet contralto voice. “Pawn Ticket 2107 is today, in view of the trend toward meloédrama, one of the best successes entour. The fairy-like pantomimic spectacle, “Fan- tasma,” interested a large crowd at the Boyd last night. This production of the Hanlons same to Omaha with many new features, while retaining much thaf made it so pop- ar in other years. The pece, as in former years, depends largely up:n ingenious me- chanical effects to Amude, but the mag- nificcnce of the costimes and the genaral surroundings of the pfodnation are a constant source of delight. Tho several carloads of special and trick scemery,; together with the clever people compristig the cast, showed to axcellent advantage 14t _eyening, as was evi- denced by the most extravagant applause. Martha Morris, as d.ena, whem the fairy queen, Fantasma (Path Hénry) aved by her magic power ‘from kg - evil dedigns of Za- maliel, with her pretty face and pleasing manners, won considerablz applause. Miss Blanche Sherwood does an exceedingly clever song and dance turn, but in the way of spe- cialties, the work of T. C. Loughlin, M. G. Douglas, William McDonough and John M. Caughlan are especially good. The scenic effect is the great feature of “Fantasma,’” however, and toward this end expense and art have contributed largsly. The grand tableau closing the second act is probably equal in magnificence to anything ever seen in the west. George H. Adams, as Pico, was grested as an old fricnd in Omaha, and was ao pleasing as ever. “Fantasma’ will be seen at Boyd's for the next three nights and Wednesday matinee. At Boyd's next Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday and Saturday matinee Herrmann, the eminent mystifier, With his newest and’ best feats of magic, mirth and mystery, will un- doubtedly attract large audiences. The charm of Herrmann's entertainment is its novelty and_distinet departure from anything else known to the drama, Herrmann’s program this season is a gorgeous one, containing new mysteries and illusions, in which the magician is said to have fairly outdone himself. Among these are the beautiful spectacular magi-comedy, “The Artist’s Dream,” the biblical miracle, “Noah’s Ark,” or “After the Flood,” the oriental marvel, “The Asiatic Trunk Mystery,” Herrmann's most incom- prehensible feat, and the natlonal paradox, “The Columbian Transformation.” Mme. Herrmann will present her beautiful spec- tacular dance creations with the aid of four- teen different colored light effects. "At the Saturday matinee a program of special inter- est will be given for the benefit of ladies and children. " Salo of seats commences Wednes- day. In the new version of *“Paul Kauvar,” which comes to Boyd's theater on Sunday and Mon- day next, there will be introduced a number of novelfies that are sure to intensify the interest that this great play has always held among lovers of spectacular drama. Aside from the many changes in scenic and mechan- ical effects, there will be introduced a dls- tinct novelty in the French Grenadier quar- tet, who, during the action of the play, will chant all the popular French war songs, and in the last act will sing in English the cele- brated French national air, “The Mar- sellaise,” — 41 Houry und 5 Minutes, Is The time ow made by The Burlington route Between Omaha and Butte, 3 hours and 20 minutes faster than any other line. 7 Tickets and full information at 1324 Far- nam street. —_— Short Police &tories, Willlam Melborne, 4 refident of Harrison county, Towa, was arrested Saturday at his home and taken to Qouncil Bluffs and afterward brought to, Omaha, He Is sup- posed to be one of the GANg of wagon, har- ness and buggy thieves who have operated extensively In this part ‘of the country in the last six months.

Tt fs now no longer a question whether it shall be the loyal or rebel order of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, but whether such insurance orders can do busi- in the state without meeting the quirements of the law governing old companies. When this suit was instituted but little attention was paid to it, and no one would ave belleved that it would attract great at- ention, yet it seems it ie destincd to become one of the most important cases that has come before the courts cf the country. At its beginning it was simply a fight for a name. There was only one order till about 1875, when the yellow fever plague in the south and “cholera morbus” in the German lodges of Cincinnati wrecked all the grand lodges of the south and that of Ohio, leaving unpaid death losses to the amount of over $100,000. The laws of the order gave each state having a grand lodge and 2,000 or more members exclusive jurisdiction as to ass ments, Under such rules the lodges of the states hav'ng grand lodges could not be as- sossed for deaths occurring outside their re- spective jurisdictions. The sovercign grand lodge appealed for help, and the ‘lodges of Towa responded with thousands of dollars The year following the supreme lodge amended its laws 0 as to have power in such emergencics to make assessments upon the lodges working under etate jurisdictions The Towa grand lodge denied the right of the supreme lodge to tax Its lodges, and se- c:ded from the supreme jurisdiction. Every lodge in the state, except one or two, ad- hered to the Towa grand lodge. But the su- preme lodge entered the state as new terri- tory, organized subordinate lodges, and when these had a membership of 2,000 they wer et aside as a separate jurisdiction, sinc which time there have been two grand lodges of the Ancient Order of United Workmen in that state. In common pariance, the original called seceders or rebels, while those acknowledging the supreme lodge are known a9 the loyal The two organizations continued to do bus- iness under the same name, and maintain lodges of the same names in the same cities and are now so doing. The present action was brought about a year ago, and wae simply to determina which should be entitled to the name cf the Grand Lodge of the An- c'ent Order of United Workmen of Towa. Judge Husted has gone so far in his de- cigion that he has left the fight for a name completely out of sight. He has brought up the question of insurance, and precip tated a legal fight that promises to give him mere notoriety than any district judge in the country has received. His decision involves the whole insurance system of Iowa, and it has ceased to be a petty quibble, but has developed Into a desperate scramble of in- dividuals and companies for existence, Cvery fraternal society in Iowa holding a charter under a supreme lodge in another state is involved in the fight, and the Red Men, the Independent Order of Foresters, the Modern Woodmen, V. A. S., National Union, Knights of Honor, and the many similar organizations are deeply interested. Pure and simple it means if Judge Husted's view of the case is sustained their organiza- tions are void, and they must withdraw from the state. What is more important, it means that the policles held by individuals in these societies are not worth the paper they are written on, if a similar trouble arises in the organization, The “rebel” A. O. U. W. numbers 7,000 and the loyals 9,000. Sixtcen thousand in- dividuals are a large number to be interested in a law suit, but that number pale into in- significance alongside of the number now involved. It is estimated that there are now in Towa more than 200,000 individuals belong- ing to similar organizations, and each will henceforth watch the progress of the case with jealous eyes. The importance of the suit dawned on some of the leading members as soon as Judge Husted raised the insurance question, ana they were not slow to take action. Consulta- tion was had between the high officials of the different organizations, and from what can be learned of the matter the 7,000 rebel Workmen of Iowa have arrayed against them all the organizations of the country. It is understood that about three weeks ago a meeting was held in Chicago, which was at- tended by the supreme rulers of more than a dozen of the fraternal organizations. They were accompanied by other executives of the orders and their counsels. Among these latter were some of the most prominent attorneys in America, The mat'er was thoroughly dis- cussed. Al appreclated the danger that threatened, and it is understood a confedera- tion was formed to fight the case to the bitter end. ness re- line 0da Feliows at Nenraska Clty.

D., Feb. 2 peclal.)— One of the districts of the Black Hills which for a number of years has remained practically abandoned is Rochford. Within the last few months, however, a number of discoveries have been made In ‘“old round,” and new strikes made in unex- plored ground, which has added life and zest to prospecting in that district, with the result that the present season, even at its beginning, promises to be the live- liest it has ever kno Among the promine Mines n. t of the new enter- prises that is at present attracting atten- tion is the plan of work laid our for de- veloping and making productive the prop erty of the old Montezuma Mining com pany. This property s recently been purchased by eastern parties, and work of putting it in condition to oper: v begun. The property for years has been” worked in a_crude w and while it has shown that it was rich in gold, the right process for extracting it from the rock had not until recent times be known, and consequently little prog s made toward putting it upon a pa basis. The workings on this mine consis of shafts, tunnels and open cuts, along the course of the ledge, which expose the ore body for neary 3,600 feet in length and from forty to sixty feet in width. The ore, which s “mostly freec milling, will run §i a ton, as numerous assays prove, but there is in the veln quantities of ore which will go very high in gold. As a free mill- position the $i-rock will pay well The parties who have purchased the property are now putting up a Griffin mill on it,"a_cross between a pulverizer and a stamp mill, and beheve that it will prove successfu On the Alpha a tunnel 500 feet in length has been driven, cutting the formation, and has opened 'up three distinct ledges, the first twenty feet in width, the sccond about thirty, while the third has been pen- etrated for sixty fect, and the tace of the tunnel is still in ore. The first of thesc veins 1s a _decomposed quartz, highly ox idized, while the other two are a griyish- white rock, carrying a large percentage of iron pyrites. A test of this rock | was made last summer. Twenty-five pounds of the ore was pulverized and concentrated 10 to 1, the result showing an assay value of $10 per ton, This is but’ a sample of the work now under way in the Kochford district. The Stand-by, "Caledonia_group, Minnescta, on which & mill is being erected, and other Kood property are recelving the attenticn they deserve. Desides the last mentioned several large groups of asbestos claims are being opened up and developed, and it the intention to make an effort to brin (his district into prominence as a produce of that peculiar mineral, there being ex tensive deposits of It there, and of the highest grade. As the Rochford district is cut by the line of the B. & M., the problem of transportation s one easy of solution, and will not, as herctofore, stand in th way of development work. The Holy Terror mine continues to keep the attention of mining men riveted, and (o set them to wondering whether or not it will ever cease to give them new cause for wonderment. Its recent run of five days with a five-stamp mill and the unpre cedented clean-up of 20,000 has been th t of conversation in every mining amp in the Hills ever since it was made. As mines go the Holy Terror is yet in an undeveloped state, but in the workings so far done there s ore enough in sight to give its three owners a dividend of $100,000, which sum they recently deciined to take for the mine. The mine is opened by two shafts, seventy-five feet apart, one ninety feet in length and the other’ of seventy five at the present time. In both are go strong ore bodies, five feet in width., In the deep, or discovery shaft, the rich ore 18 found, and a pecullar feature of it iy that it appears to be a vein within a vein, Here the ore body s four feet w ver- tical, with well defined walls. Cutting the vein' proper almost through the center from wall to wall §s an egg-shaped chim- ney or ore chute of ore from eighteen to ten inches in width, which is fabulously rich, while the vein ‘matter on either of it will run from $10 to $12 per ton. This chimney extends from the surface o the bottom’ of the discovery shaft, and shows no sign of pinching out, as the ore scems to @rcw Ticher ns depth fn Increaseds and the present indications, are that it' will grow in width, The mine will soon have an additional five stamps drop- ping upon 'its ores, and then its bullion output will be doubied. - Evans Will Not Be Allowed to Intervene, DENVER, Feb., 2.—Judge Riner of the United States circuit court has denled the petition of ex-Governor John Ivans for leave to intervene in the foreclosure suit brought by the American Loan a st company agaln nlon Pacili Den- ver & CGulf r i This suit involves the foreclosure of ab $15,00,000 on the If line, and ex-Governor Bvans in his petition” attacked the " Valldity "of these onds. —————— Kidnapped the Freshmen's Preside CHAMPAIC 1., Feb, 2b.—The pres ident of the freshman class at the Statc university, 4 young man named Rinchart, and several other members of the class, were kidnapped and spirited away by upper class men today to prevent thelr uppeir- ance at the annual freshman soclal, Which oceurred last nlght > banquet passed off Quietly, with this exception. 1t it xald the prosecuting attorney will take up the mat- ter. e — Kecetvers for an Insurance compiny.

YORK, Feb, 24.—Henry Clews, head of the banking house of Henry Clews & Co., writes of the week In Wall street: Wall street fs fairly taken by surprise at the stupendous success attending the syns dicate’s negotintion of the new treasury loun. Two weeks ago all was in the gloom JEutter uncertalnty as to whether the treasury coull be Kept aflont, or it must rom lack of rescue. Noly the status Diblie credit s elevated hefore the world hy Lids for ten times tho amaunt of bonds oficred, and by the fact that the major part of the subscription fs made in urope. Thix fact fs as remarkabie for its revelation of the large amount of capital seckingg employment as 1 i for (ts evidence of the still high standing of our national ¢redit. The result o far exceedg all that Wall street has heon anticipating that it 18 taken by surprise by tie sudden appe ing of a ne or which it has not yet heen prepared, and the utilization of which it has as yet'no immediate plans, Tlicre, however, can be no secona opinfon to 'what all ‘th rtends, There 18 no nce for “Learing,” and buying must ene ard be the order of speculation, backed by a large reinforcement of confls dence in Tondon and on the continent. In- deed, wo take it that the events of the past week will strike the Keynote for a re- vival of confldence the world over, and for a general recovery of business that has Deen held in suspense for the past three We may expect o witness, at an 1y, the effects of the marshalling of of capital for promoting a lively s ulative cam ut, durinz the inter of pre those leaders, the market may any especiaily striking Bull speculation securities is likely, soon start up, pronounced as i London in American from all indications, to l::mll it probally be as b in the opposite Airection since the & panic of Nvemme 180, The Rothschilds and other lead- Ing London bankers had a foreshas wing of the overloaded condition of the Baring firm, and, in anticipation of their collapse, were quick to shift their load of Americans to this side, and there has been no time since then—now four and one-half years—that the London attitude has been not only to dis counage the buying of American sccurities, but to encourage the selling of everything American. The foreign press has also been dead against our investments, and their at- tacks have been of a most Virorous char- cter. Recently, for the lack of something tter, South African “holes in the ground,” supposed to contain gold, have been selzed upon With nvidity. AS an ovidence of the wild_ &pec =pirit that has come over I rators, an_enterprise known as nd mines In South Africa, which has not only paid no dividends, but has none in sight, has been able to advance Its shares from £1'to Under a recent renction the are mow etively dealt in at {25 n share, A great many similar schemes have advanced in cqual proportions with immense dealings in them. Such a boom probably has never been equaled bafore. Paris, Berlin and other continental markets have also participated in the speculative furore with great success, The profits which many operators have realized are fabulously large, and private advices rom Lonodn are to the effect that \e successful operators in these South Af- rican properties are now ready and willing to take hold of American railroad shares, providing the currency of the country is put on a fairly safe footing; In fact, inasmuch as they consider our range of prices now phenomenally low, the inclination Is to do it in any case. The mmense subscription In Tondon to the current bond loan is an evidence that forcigners have a higher estimation of the in <fc worth of United States government bonds than we have In this country. The signal success in floating this loan cannot fail to lead the way to a revival of confi- dence in American raflroad securities, which are now down to prices that should make them look inviting, for speculative ven- tures at least. The speculative spirit in all the Furopean money centers Is rampant, s we have indicated from the African gold craze, ENCOURAGEMENT IN SIGHT. The silver movement in the senate has come to an end not only without serlous consequences, but with significant sympc toms of its growing weakness, which will afford_an opportunity for othér important measures to be called up, including the pool- ing bill, which, together 'with the appropria- tion bills, will' about fill up the short time remaining of this wretched congress, the ending of which will terminate, to a’very large extent, the suffering of aimost every household throughout the land, Tt would certainly appear from all present’indications that better times are at hand. To recapitulate, the things in sight to be considered in didgnosing the situation, are the following: The pooling bill may yet pass this con- gress, : The adjournment of congress, now near at hand. The new crcps will bring the benefits ac- cruing from a sheltering winter. The opening of the spring trade has a very r promise, The $100.000,000 gold reserve s made good. The Tondon connection, under the lead of the Rothschilde, with the new government loan, again opens the door in London to American securities, The big profits that will be realized from the bond negotiation may be expected to en- courage the buying of other American se- curitles on an important scale. The prospects, therefore. are quite good for a turn in the tide of Wall street. LONDON MONEY MARKET, ico Before Has tho Discount Rate Remainod ut Two Per Cont.
