A few days ago two very pretty blondes left for the east to be gone £ome time, #0 & num- ber of their friends went to tce them off. Among them were four happy engaged girls. One has been spending her summer in the east, and now displays a beautiful diamond. Rumor says she will ma e, An- other lives In town, and is ongaged to a young livulenant, whom s> may wed in the near future. A third, although sho does not live in town, has won a great many tricutls on her various visits here, and is en- gaged to another licutenant, The fourth is only a rumor, and whether it is true still remains an_unsolved mystery, which time only will solve. An announcement, which was made last week, thal created a_ripple of excitemer and spread very rapidly, was the engage- ment of Miss Eugenie C. Kountze, daughter of Mr. flerman Kountze, to Mr. Mercdith Nicholson of Indianapolis, Ind., who will be remembered by some as having visited here last year about Christzoas tim One of ti ntes 18 having her coming- out gown made.

The guests meet at the home of their host or hostess, whichever the case may be, bringing with them horns, of all sizen and descriptions, to make merry along the way.

Last Wednesday afternoon a number of young women met at the pretty home of one of their number with the intention of trying to organize a little French card club. Sev- eral of these young women have been abroad and all are now studying French. It will no doubt be very enjoyable to the twenty or more who are likely to be members. They will probably meet once a week at the dii- ferent homes of the members. A fine will be imposed for speaking English and these fines will help to buy the prizes. A most enjoyable afternoon was spent by those pres- ent at the Initial meeting. In a letter from Searborough the following interesting and amusing incldent is told hich is characteristic of the old country: Last week I had a pleasant little trip to Wakefleld and walked three miles and a half to a beautiful spot called Heath Common. Fifty-five years ago, when I marrled, T took my wife there on our honeymoon, to stay at a small picluresque cottage. I had not seen it for all these years until last week 1 knocked at the door and an old lady of 70 came to open it. I told her who I was and why I bad called, when, to my surprise, she answered:. ‘Oh, T remember you very well. I was then a girl of 15, and my sister went to work for you when you left us.' She was very pleased fo see me again, and I felt well repaid for seven miles’ walk. She had lived on the same spot all those years.” n daing.

The answer charges Mendenhall with first deserting her, with compelling her with threats of viole and persecution to leave his home, and with adultery committed with one Kate B. Hardy, The new romantic drama, ‘‘Mexico,” by Edwin Milton Royle, the author of “Friends,” comes to the Creighton theater tomcrrow night. Curiously enough, although Mexico Is our nearest and most powerful neighbor, and gave us all the mighty group of Pacific states, it has been to the people of the United States almost an unknown and un- noticed land. Immediately after the pro- duction of “Friends” some three years ago, Mr. Royle's attentlon was attracted to Mex- fco as a country of unbounded and almost untried dramatic possibilities, Taking ad- vantage of a period of lelsure he made a trip to Mexico, examining its history and ar- chaeology, studying its people, their disposi- tions and thelr manners, and imbuing him- self thoroughly with the spirit and the at- mosphere of the scenes he had chosen. The eriod selected for the play was that of the war of 1846-48 between Mexico and the United States and the story follows the march of the American arimy, presenting as chief points of interest Monterey, Saitillo, Buena Vista and the City of Mexico. Upon this theater of action in the midst of a hostile country and against overwhelm- ing odds the American army carried to a triumphant close a campalgn of which the mere simple narrative reads like a story of possible fiction. In treating his subject Mr. Royle has not sought to create a military play, but has used this strong and pictur- esque background mainly to illustrate a story of character, passion and romance. His hero is a young American officer, the he ine a Mexican girl, by chance d tained briefly as a prisoner within the American lines, and about their fate |is woven the drama. The production will be complete in all details. The scenery has been painted by Thomas G. Moses, the Chicago artist, from exact sketches and photographs. The costumes worn in the play will include the picturesque national_costumes of Mexico, as well as the Mexican uniforms and the United States uniforms of that period, which were the most handsome and effective ever adopted by our army. The company s strong, well balanced and specially selected for the play, and includes Selena Fetter Royle, Gret- chen Lyons, Edwin Milton Royle, Lucius Henderson, Harry Allen, William Bettner, an Omaha boy; Willlam Humphreys, Gerard An- derson, Rachel Dean and others of equal note. The incidental music has been ar- ranged by Senor Saldierpa, the celebrated Mexican violinist, from Mexican national airs and folk songs, and no detail has been omitted that could lend local color and ine terest to the production. The sale of seats indicates that a royal welcome will be given the company tomorrow night. There will be two chances only to see ‘‘Mexico,” on Mon- day and Tuesday evenings. will be given at the Wednesday matinea and night performance. One of the most interesting events of the season, theatrically, to a numerous class of playgoers will take place tonight and the two following evenings at Boyd's theater. It Is nothing less than “Rush City.”” The author, Gus Heege, who is known in connection with “Yon Yonson,” has opened up a new field of farce comedy, writing in this his latest effort, and the enthuslastic reception accorded the performances elsewhere is direct evidences that the departure from the well-beaten track is duly appreciated by both press and public. The management points with pride to the records made in_Chicago, Minneapolis, Mil- waukze and St. Paul last season, where this company packed theaters like McVicker's, Chicago, to their utmost capacity. Oklahoma, with its tracklesy wastes and its chaotic desolations, has been selected as the site for “Rush City,” a place conceived by “Rush,” a speculative genius of the east, who blushed not, neither does he lack that famil- far strain seen in adventurers commonly called nerve. He brings to the town a num- ber of gullible people, who invest thelr means, which he appropriates to his own use. As- suming all the municipal offices, Rush runs the town to suit himself, but ‘just as the acme of fame is about to be reachzd a cyclone blows everything into a neighboring town. The opportunities for amusing situations and ludicrous sc=nes are many. The production, which is directed by Thomas H. Davis and William T. Keogh, 18 on a more pretentious scale than Is usually given to farce comedlies, The entire outfit of scenery and all the me- chanical effects are carried by the company. Mathews and Bulger still handle the leading roles, and in the other characters of the comedy appear: Joseph Coyne, John Hyams, M. J. Gallagher, Michael Heckert, Krank 0'Brien, Ralph Penfield, Charles L. Carson, Harry Mathews, Olive White, Mabel Craig, Helen Reimer Carrie Locke, Clara Palm gdna Aug, with Frederick Arundel as mus- ical director. H. C. Miner's New York production of “Human Hearts” recefves its initial local production _at the Creighton, commencing Thuraday, October 10. The story of the play deals with life in the hills or Arkansas. The first act shows Tom Logan married to Jean- ette Armsdale, an adventuress. Logan is also loved by Ruth Larkin. Frederic Armsdale, an old lover of Jeanette, comes to the Logan homestead, and Jeanctte, disappointed in Logan as & husband, consents to run away with him and desert her infant child. ~Arms- dale, fearing a just retribution at Logan's hands, suggests that he kill him. Jeanette consenits and plans the details, but, by an ac- cldent, Logan's old father Is stabbed to death instead. Logan is discovered bending over the body with the knife in his hand, and though the murder has been witnessed by Jem Mason, a tramp, Logan s accused of the murder by his wife, and is sentenced to prison for lite. Four years elapse, and Logan's mother has become blind, while Ruth, a ministering angel, has taken her place as mistress of the house. Tom's child prays for her father, whom she has never seen. Logan's blind mother and half-witted brother, Jimmy, go to tae governor of Arkansas and ask for Logan's pardon, without any proof of his innocence, however. This is refused, but when the mother gives the governor a bunch of old fashioned yellow roses it reminds him of his own dead mother, and, filled with pity, he pardons Logan. When Logan, in the prison, is ordered to the dungeon for hay- ing saved a crippled boy from a cruel guard, the pardon arrives. Armsdale has stolen Logan's child, In hopes of getting the Logan farm, which the grandfather had left her by will.” Logan now realizes that bo has loved Ruth all the while. Once free from prison he searches for his child. He finds her in the keeping of his false wife and her lover. Aidcd by the tramp whom he has befriended, Logan rescues the child, and the faithless wife is shot by Armsdale. The child is sate in Ruth's arms and all ends happily. An important theatrical event of the near future, and one which it 1s presumed will be of more than passing Interest soclally, will be the appearance of Caroline Miskel Hoyt and the original supporting company at Boyd's theater next Thursday, Friday, Saturday matinee and night in Mr. Hoyt's very latest comedy success, A Coutented Woman." Mrs. Hoyt Is a prime favorite everywhere, and as evory one can find unlimited pleasu in watching the development of her hus band’s bright comedies, the week promises to be & very brilllant one. “A Contented Wo- man” is spoken of as the best (hing that Hoyt has written. It Is not so much given over to farce as a great many of his other plays, being morc en the order of “A Texas Steer,”” and, like that popular play, a deline tion of cerfaln practices that Mr. Hoyt has the sake of galning their point, only, instead of heaping all of his satire on the men, he has taken a shy at the idea of women holding official positions. The scene is laid in Den- ver, and the basis of the comedy is furnished formerly principal of the Hardy school for young ladies ir. this eity. in the attempt of two political organizations, one male and the other female, to land their Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. 8.

The opposing factions are husband and wife, and the con- test waxes warm from the beginning. The husband goes out and does the saloons, spend= ing_money right and left, and making all kinds of promises It he is elccted, and the wife looks ufter her fences among the women voters, Mr. Hoyt will personally superintend the local production. The entire original scenes and equipment will be brought here, with the following supporting company: Mr. William H. Currie, Mr. Frank Lane, Mrs. Roso Snyder, Mr. George Ober, Mrs. Mary Plerce, Mrs. Adelaide Ober, Mrs. Clare Guge Clarke, Miss Matty Hornby, Miss Sally Seales, Miss Josephine Stanton, Mr. Thomas D.

Conroy and Fox, the eccentrle Irish com edlans, will bo scen in an entirely uew comedy, entitled “O'Flarity’s Vacation,” at the Creighton for four uights, commencing Sunday, October 13. Theso artists have for years been strong favorites In this eity. No matter what organization they are with, they have always been the stars of the attraction. “O'Flarity’s Vacation” is sald to be a far more pretentions play than any in which they have herotofore been scen, being possessed of a good, interesting plot, although funny to the extreme, People who love highly colored and sensa- tional comic drama may look fogward with pleasure to the appearance at Boyd's theater unday, Monday and Tuesday evenings, 13th,” 14th and 15th Inst, of “On the Bowery," the play by R. Ni Stephons, of which " real and fancied exploits of Steve Brodie are part of the subject matter, Mr. Brodie figures in the play_as the alder and abettor of persecuted Innocence. When a falsely accused young man takes refuge in Brodie's saloon Brodie prevénts him from being arrested, so that he may be free to seek proofs of his innocence. ‘The only proof is In the testimony of a girl whom the vil- lain causes to be thrown into the East river, Brodie jumps from Brooklyn bridge and saves her. Afterward the villain sets fire to an old watch house, where she is recovering from the effccts of her river experlence, and Brodle, balked by the flames from entering downstairs, mounts to the second story and saves her. 'Mr. Brodie has a prominent share in the comedy element of tho play, an ele- ment that has perhaps attracted more atten- tion than the serious phase has. Much of the comedy consists of the doings of the queer people’ who mako a resort of Brodle's saloon. They are characters such as may be seen any night on the Bowery, that famous thor- oughfare of poverty and ‘“toughdom.” It showld be said that, while dealing with the life of the Bowery and its vicinity, the play deals also with a higher sphere of life, and that it is morally as clean an entertainment as can be found on the stage. Followlng “On the Bowery” at Boyd's theater, eomes David Henderson's big Amer- ican Extravaganza company in “Ali Ba then Tim Murphy In “A Texas Steer;” * 0ld Homestead;" De Wolt Hopper in Syntax;” “The Black Crook,” and Hcss” Hoey in ““The Globe Trotter.” November ‘and December hookings at the Boyd will contain quite a number of sur- prises, and Omaha theater-goers may look forward with confidence to good entertains ment, he Dr. “0ld Both Speaking of Frank Lane's performance in the character of Cutting Hintz, In Charles H. Hoyt's new play, “A Contented Woman," the St. Paul Penny Press said: “He was a streak of sunshine through the whole story. Both author and actor are to be thanked for his existence.” The Minneapolis Times of October 1 gays: “Number one In the fine list of assisting forces is Frank Lane as Cutting Hintz, the brother of the successful lady candidate, although it may be questioned whether the exceedingly sympathetic nature of the part does not give him an advantago.” Mr. Lane will be remembered here as the popular manager of our summer resort, Courtland Beach, and his return (o Otaaiia will doubtless be welcomed by a host of friends. “‘Coon Hollow,"” at the Creighton, has played to increasing business at each performance during the present engagement. The au- diences have glven every sign of satisfaction with the entertainment provided, which con- sists of a melodrama of a stirring kind, pre- sented by a compmy Including several clever people, and which is enlivened by some of the best buck and wing dancing seen of late on the local stage. The engagement termi- nates with two performances today, matinee and evening. Another Outhbrenk in Kentueky. LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 5.—There was ane other outbreak in Harlan county yesterday between the Straight creek factions which re- sulted in the killing of Henry Brock. The trouble grew out of the disputes that arose some tlme ago over the Asher lumber camp's timber interests. The company will apply for a detail of militia to guard its property. The Asher Lumber company Is composed of capitalists of East Saginaw, Mich., and_they have §500,000 invested in their plant at Ford, Ky., and in timber lands in eastern Kentucky.
