ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAWFORD GRAND.

Bill Nye and his company entertained a
select audience last night at the Crawford
Grand. The local critics claim that the
amusement notices as rule are compli-
mentary rather than critical, and with
their assistance it was intended to subject
last nights entertainment to q fearless
criticism. The same was studiously pre-
pared in advance, the secret of humor was
carefully studied and furnished whole SEN
tences that would apply to Mr.. Nye's
sketches, Mr.. Downey's touch and execu-
ton were wrought into high sounding
sentences, Mr.. Thalberg's high notes were
commented upon at length while Miss
Torbett's faltering diminuendos and ex-
quisite cadences were whipped into foam.
Mr. Nye evidently heard about it and
changed the program so the criticism
won't fit.
Mr. Nye's humor lies largely in his man
ner of saying things and although the
mind is only cognizant of what is
being said, during the pauses il
seems as if he was enjoying it too.
A sympathy at once springs up between
the listener and the speaker and the latent
sentiment of each sentence gradually
dawns upon the mind and starts pleasant
train of thought
Mr. Thalberg. the tenor, sings with ease
and delighted the audience with several
choice selections. Mr.. Downey's accom-
paniments were deserving of comment
while his pianoforte solo met with gener-
GUS applause The final trio fully brought
out the native musical talent OF the per
formers. and was listened to with wrap
attention.
The violin solos OF Miss Torbett were
entrancing The beauty of the performer
and the grace with which she handled
the bow were sufficient entertainment;
in themselves. The power of the king OF
instruments is iuirusted to her keeping
aud is welded with queenly dignity that
has already won her fame.
A striking feature of the entertainment
was the quiet that pervaded the house.
Mr.. Nye never once spoke higher than a
conversational pitch. while nearly all the
musical selections We're pianissimo, and
vet the audience kept so quiet that not a
note or a syllable was lost IN the farIhes.

NO LET UP ON CAR FAMINE.

The car famine as a result of the great
demand for moving grain is reported to
be giving the railroads as much trouble
as eyer. 1t was estimated some time ago
that ''let up' would come soon. Aside
from it being supposed that the rush
would not last so long, it was believed
that the action of the railroads on the rate
question would at this time give some OF
the roads few cars TO rest or do some
thing else. Instead of this being true,
according to railroad men in the city, the
rush in grain shipments for the south
west has been just as wild as ever. The
d., NJ. & A. Tor the last ten days has
averaged over one hundred and sixty cars
per day loaded on the line and handled
many cars from branch lines. The kiowa
branch and the Wichita & Colorado
handle over one hundred cars loaded on
the line. The Santa Fe branches in the
southwest handle about five hundred cars
daily which is the limit. The Wichita 81
| Western, Rock Island, and Frisco are
crowded as usual.
A freight railroad man yesterday said
that he had given up ali hope OF any let up
on the famine for at least some months or
possibly until most OF the surplus grain is
sent out of the country. Under reduced
rate, no matter how far reduced, the rail-
roads could not carry the grain out any
faster than at pr sent The demand tor
cars double the present would not increase
the shipments, because of the fact that
the roads are unable to handle more than
they are at present or have been for some
time

FIRST NJ. E. CHURCH.

The bible reading given yesterday at
2:3O in the First N. E. church by Dr.. John
Williamson was exceedingly entertaining
and instructive. Those who so far have
not attended the readings are certainly
losing rare treat. That the doctors life
work in the study of the bible has not
been in vain his ease In solving some of the
difficult problems and general knowledge
of the scriptures would certainly attest.
While his original mode of illustrating
and explaining his subjects make them
both comprehensive and simple. The
bible reading for this afternoon
will be the bible idea of prayer
All who can should certainly hear DR..
Williamson on this subject. The services
last night at 7:30 were attended with good
deal of success Quite large number OF
unsayed persons expressing their desire to
become Christians, while large number
of individual testimonies were given of the
power of the Lord Jesus Christ in saving
to the uttermost all that come unto God
by Him. Bible reading at half past two.
Services tonight at half past seven. Ey-
erybody invited.

STONE ON HAND.

Four car loads of stone arrived yesterday
for the Rock Island freight depot build
ing The company will use Alma stone,
that being On the Rock Island and having
an interest in the quarry.
The plans as first drawn called for con-
siderable glass on the sides and ends of
the building. That was objected to by
some who had say in that department.
As result the plans were remodeled and
called for more stone and less glass.
AS yet the contract has not been award
ed but will be within few days. As soon
as the weather will permit steady work,
work will be commenced.
1t is thought that the Enterprise Furni-
ture company of Kansas City, will occupy
the present freight depot as warehouse
for jobbing business.
