This was one of the company’s first offerings here, having been put on shortly after its summer en- gagement opened, and proved to be per- haps the most popular of any of the many plays {n which it has been seen. Mr. Ferris has the part of a bashful country lad and keeps his audience in an uproar of laughter with his clever handling of the comic situations and reading of the humorous lines with which the plece is supplied. The other members of the company have &ood parts and, altogether, the pertorm- ance is a worthy one. At the Saturday matinee each woman will be glvea a memento of the company's en- gagement in the shape of a souvenir pho- tograph of Mr. Ferris. The final performance of “My Jim" be given Sunday night.

Some criticism has been offered recently in regard to the location of Fort Crook at its present site and the abandon ment of Fort Omaha. At the time Fort Crook was established 1t was a question as to whether Omaha would have any of the posts or departmental headquarters. Gen- eral Sheridan was then in command of the army. Fort Omaha was getting into a llapidated condition and needed repairs had a conference with the general and he sald that he would not recommend the ex- penditure of a dollar on Fort Omaha, as it would soon have to be abandoned; that the reservation for military posts should con wist of several hundred acres to give the soldlers an opportunity for target practice with tho long range guns, without endan- gering the lives of citizens. For this reason I started the movement for the location of t Crook At the same time several hundred thou eands of dollars were expended in the de- velopment of the government corral from a place of tumbled-down shacks to a modern supply depot. In the first bill which was introduced for the erection of the new post- office and custom house bullding 1 was provided that the old building should be set aside to the War department ws headquarters for this department. Now that has all of its fnyest- ments kere 1 do not think it probable that there will be any removal. “This attempt {8 but a revival of former efforts on the part of Kansas City. They falled before and their efforts only brought to public attention the advantages of Omaha as a place for the headqurters. At differ- ent timee General Sherman, General Sheri- Aan of the army and of the department have ex- prossed their opinfor on this subject, and it bas invariably been that Omaha was the proper placg for the headquarters. These officers have referred to the geographical location und to the rallroad facilities as being better suited to tho use of the de- partrient than those of any other city within its borders. With these opinions in the minds of army officers I do mot think a change will be made.” GENERAL SUPPLY POINT Omaha to Become Source of Supply oops All Over the World. for For the first tine since its establishment the depot of the United States army at Omaha is to become a general supply point for the army. This actlon was taken as the result of a conference between Colonel Pullman, quartermaster general of the de. partment, and General Ludington, quarter- magter general of the army, during the lat- ter's recent visit to this ecity. For some timo the army has been piling up a large number of quartermaster stores in the east. The maintenance of armies in tropieal countries has brought about a rev- olution in the matter of uniforms and equipment of officers and men. The army in the northern countries has to be warmly clothed. while the efiorts of the quarter- master's department is turned to securing the coolest possible clothing for those in the tropics. Thie means that when troops in the United States are ordered to service in the Phillppines or In Cuba an entire chapge has to be made in thelr equipment other than arms, and the old clothing and equipment have to be stored. This has crowded the usual depots of the army, and in all cities where such depots have been maintalned the government has rented bouses for storage purposes. The War department was looking around for empty buildings In citles where depots were established and was not very success. ful in securing what it desired. Colonel Pullman was advised of this condition when he came to Omaha and as soon as he ar- rived he examined the condition of the de partmental depot at the corral. Here he found about 150,000 cuble feet of empty space and Immediately reported the condi- to headquarters When General Ludington came to the city the colonel took the matter up with him. with the result that instructions were sent to Omaha to make the departmental depot & distributing depot for the army. Infor- mation has been received that there are now enroute from Philadelphia and other eastern citles large quantities of biankets and clothing for the Omaha depot. When recelved they will be stored and issued to the different departments as required. A large part will be shipped to the Philip- pines, while others will go to Alaska. MRS.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL'S PLANS Pushing Consolidation Scheme with View to Getting More Northern Traffic. §T, PAUL, Minn,, July 25.—The Ploneer Press tomorrow will say: Private advices recelved yesterday by & St. Paul man from rellable New York sources are to the ef- fect that the frequently reported consoli- dation of the Minneapolis & St. Louls and the Towa Central with the Illinols Cen- tral is actually under way and in pros- pect of early culmination The plan s for the transter of the Iowa Central to the Minneapolls & St. Louls upon a basis of an exchange of one share of Minneapolis & St. Louls common for two shares of lowa Central, consolidating the two lines and paving the way for the tran fer of the Minneapolis & St. Louls to th Ilinois Central by a similar exchange, yet to be agreed upon. The Illinois Central made a tender sev- cral months ago for the control of the Minneapolis & St. Louls alone, but the negotiations resulted in an ultimatum from the interests that own the road, which also control the Towa Central, that both roads must be taken in of melther could be se- cured. The Illinois Central is now ne- gotiating on that basis. Their absorption will give the Illinois Central a direct line between Chicago and St. Paul, another be tween St. Paul and Omaha and will place it in a position to obtain trafic of im mense value from the Great Northern and orthern Pavific Freight Rates Disrupted.

Earl Spencer sald he hoped this were true, but he hoped more not tend to cause laxity on the part of the dairymen and cattle owners or less vigi- lance by the authorities charged with pro- tecting the consumers of milk. The speaker earnestly trusted the con- gress would not endorse the view that it Was unnecessary to take measures to pre- vent the transmission of tuberculosls from animals to humans. Prof. John in man. He eaid that until Dr. Koch had declared himself in this connection to the contrary it was supposed to have been fully proved that human and bovine tuber- culosis were identical diseases. Prof. MacFadyean discuseed the ground upon which Dr. Koch based his beliet, con- | tending that they were elther not well | founded or had Jittle bearing upon the question, and he submitted arguments to prove the strongest grounds remained for regarding milk from tuberculosis cows as distinctly dangerous to human beings. Dr. Ravenel of Philadelphia gave an in- stance of the Infection of ten persons from tuberculosis cattle, but sald he considered such Instances to be rare. James King, a veterinary inspector of London, speaking before the comgress, af tributed the large increase in the imported meat trade to the rigid inspection of home killed cattle and sald a meat salesman & sured him that the loeses from condemned | carcasses were so great that the British dealers were forced to buy imported meat. | Mr. King disscnted flatly from Dr. Koch's belief {n the nontransmisslon of bovine tuberculosis to humans, and urged the adop- tion of stringent measures in this respect, to insure the healthtulness of imported car- casses. He also urged a government com- pensation for cattle destroyed under fts orders, in order thoroughly to stamp out tuberculosis from British herds, where, he declared, it waus alarmingly prevalent King Edward received the foreign dele- gates to the British Congress on Tubercu- losis at Marlborough house this afternoon His majesty briefly expressed his keen in- terest in the congress and his hopes of frultful results therefrom.
