ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAWFORD GRAND.


The Isaac Payton Comedy company
made its second appearance last evening
presenting ''Trodden Down, or Under Two
Flags" The company will play the bal
ance of the week, including a Saturday
matinee The weather was little chilly
last night for the theater goers but fair
house turned out to witness the play. Mr..
Payton, as Fergus Mccarthy, made good
Irshman. His Irishman was not one of
"McCarthy's Mishaps," and the part did
not call for that All Irishmen do not
speak with brogue that whips the air
into whirlwind. The scene was laid in
Ireland where the lower classes speak with
a pronounced brogue, but as one comes up
the scale of society the brogue is lost. In
the mid die classes it is only pleasantly
perceptible, while in the higher classes
English pure and undefiled' IS spoken.
Miss keene made a very acceptable
Blanche Desmond and played the part
with interest and ability.
The other characters were all well and
faithfully portrayed.
Although the play is little ancient it
was presented in way that was interest
ing and the full effects OF the ciimaxes
were appreciated and generously ap-
plauded by the audience. Miss Keene
sang acceptably several times during the
evening.
The bill for tonight will be double one,
Edith's Burglar and The Child of the Reg
iment The company will appear in a
comedy which Is pronounced as their
strongest cast.
The orchestra and full band which &C
companies the show are particularly good.
Besides the regular overtures solo is
thrown in occasionally which meets with
hearty approval

LOOKING AFTER LIGHT BUSINESS.

Mr. Henry c. Scott, of st. Louis, presi-
dent of the Gas, Electric Light and Power
company, is expected to reach the city this
evening and will remain few days look
ing after business interests. 1t is thought
he may be able TO come before the city
council at its meeting tomorrow and dis
cuss the light question. The Schnitzler
constituency, according to accounts, want
all night service, and he being chairman
of the light committee they insist that he
ought to be able TO provide for them what
they want in that line. In the meantime
the Thompson-Ho Houston get their 694 per
month for light going until midnight, and
that contract runs nearly year and a half
yet. The company. as claimed, is making
more money than it would by giving all
night service at 50, but according to prop
ositlon as submitted will give all night
service provided they are given not less
than forty-five lights for a term of five
years.

IMMIGRATION COMMITTEES.
County Convention Called for the 2sth Inst
Work Of the State Bureau OF
Immigration.

The committees on immigration of the
board of trade and of the real estate ex-
change held meeting yesterday in one of
| the board of trade committee rooms and
| elected for chairman Mr.. Geo. H. Black
welder; secretary, S. E. Hubbard. The
chairman explained that the object of the
| meeting was to consider the proprietY OF
calling county convention to select a
committee on immigration to act with the
other committees on behalf of the county
That it was proposed that city and county
be thoroughly organized to act, promptly
and effectively in whatever line or direc-
tion the state bureau should direct and the
complete organization making every one
interested would make county organiza-
ton of some strength and Importance.
Mr. A. r. Carpenter said that he had
discovered in the session laws of Kansas,
back in ga there was law providing for
the organization of state bureau of inn
migration and giving the legislature power
to appropriate some money for its use. But
that would not bring the desired relief as
it would be year or more before a bureau
of that kind could be organized with any
power whatever.
A member of the committee recalled
that Governor Humphrey remarked re-
Gently that it would be well for the state
organization to make its wants known to
the next Legislature and possibly some aid
could be secured.
After some discussion it was decided to
request the township trustees to appoint
delegates to attend a county immigration
convention, to be held on the 2Sth inst at
. Ii l. \
are requested to act on the matter prompt
ly, and it is believed that the meeting
Tuesday will be of much Importance,
There was considerable discussion on
number of questions that concerned the
work of the committee. Everything was
most encouraging, and the members of
the committee favored prompt and earnest
work.
THE IMMIGRATION BUREAU.
The secretary of the immigration bureau
yesterday received letters from Miami
county, where J. NJ. Bell had been APP
pointed director to represent the county In
the directory of the bureau; Dickinson
county had appointed George C. Sterl;
Seward county appointed +. Griffith;
Commanche will be represented by Mr.. S.
NJ. Jackson.
A number of counties were heard from
through county commissioners stating
that action by the board Or by means of a
public meeting of the citizens would be
taken at an early date, and county sub-so-
cieties formed and a selection made for
member of directory The response from
counties not represented in the convention
is coming promptly, and it is believed
within ten days scarcely county in the
state will be without director to take a
hand in managing the state bureau.

EVANGELISTIC,

The evangelistic services at the First
Presbyterian church are increasing in in
terest. Notwithstanding the sorry condi-
ton of the roads and walks and good
deal of sickness among the members of the
congregation the attendance has been
gratifying.
Sunday morning under the powerful ad-
dress of the pastor, Rev. David Winters, a
very tender feeling was manifest in the
audience.
The pastor will preach each evening this
week except Saturday.
Rev. Winters in his practical way Of
putting the truth is reaching large num-
Der of people, as evidenced by the crowded
houses at the Sunday services.
A cordial welcome will be given to all
who can attend these services The serv-
ice will last only one hour, from 7:30 to
$50. Come to the meeting, Christians, to
help those not Christians to be helped as
far as the pastor and people are able to be
helpful,

SERVICE AND PAVING.

The Riverside & Suburban will probably
run their Riverside cars from First and
Main streets, while the cars going to the
north part of the city, taking in the pack
ing houses and car works, will leave Doug
las on Market street. For the paving on
Market it will take 1000 brick. and as
contemplated Forest City brick will be
used, of which the company has now on
hand $4,000. In a few days the brick con-
tract will be awarded and by the time
the weather will permit it is thought work
will commence. The concrete work is
ready to receive the brick pavement, and
there is no alarm about the property own
ers on Market objecting to the paving job
being completed.

TO VERMONT MARBLE.

There was considerable talk yesterday
over the councils action over city building
stone. There many 81 told you SO" fell
lows who could explain the many phe-
nomena of months ago showing clearly
that the Alma stone was to be selected
and all other sections were only TO send
out the IDEA of earnest consideration or
something of that work. No one was
found who suspected any scheme on foot
at present to make a change but possibly
Vermont marble might be arranged to
cost $40, 900 more and the inducement after
more consideration might be strong
enough to force another change. 1t was
suggested that that sort of marble was
used for cheap tombstones as well as for
good buildings.

ATTEMPTED RUNAWAY.

The usual runaway occurred yesterday
but was not serious as usual Mr.. Simon
West was driving down Main street in a
buggy; farm wagon was coming from
the opposite direction and to it was hitched
an unbroken horse. The horse SHE'D at
something in its imagination and locked
the hind wheel of the buggy. The horse
attached to the buggy started TO run and
was only controlled with difficulty. The
damage to the buggy was about SIS, and
will have to be paid by Hettinger Bros,
who own the outfit. Mr.. West was not
badly scared as the horse is given to rub
ming away on general principles.

VICTIMS OF LA GRIPPE.

C. S. Caldwell and family are certainly
having a serious time. Mr.. Cald wells
father and mother very sick. Mr.. Cald-
well is recovering from a very severe at

Captain J. j. Parks is recovering from a
severe attack of grip and brain fever. His

very sick man.
DR.. J. H, Fordice only few days ago
was in the clutches of the grip monster,
and now his partner, DR.. J. D. Van Nuys
is having a wrestle with the disease
Attorney E. B. Rood was confined TO his

THE PICKwICk CLUB REVIVED.

The 5. and B. club, of College Hill, gave
a unique entertainment last night, imper-
sonating the Pickwick club. Captain
Rutan represented Pickwick so well that
Dickens himself could not have told him
from the original subject. Last nights
success will encourage the members to try
1t again and the non-participants will sim
ny insist upon a return date. 1t was gen.
orally agreed that the last nights program
was the most interesting ever given 10y the
club and henceforth all events will be
dated from that period.

AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT.

To the Editor Of the Eagle
Some parties have been circulating the
report that County Treasurer Cartwright
has held large sums Of the city's money
instead of turning the same over to the
city treasurer. This we brand as an in
famous falsehood, as the county treasurer
has acted with the utmost Kindness and
generosity toward the city since we have
had charge of the finances OF the same.
We believe he has turned over the money
as fast as collected, and on one or two oe-
casions we know of his having advanced
money TO the city treasurerer when the
city had no money in the county treasury
to its credit. w. B. THRocKMoRTON,
City Treasurer.

out hope in the world, in the bond of in
iquity and the gall of bitterness, and the
blessed hope and deliverence made posi-
BILE through the Lord Jesus Christ. Ser
