1t is seldom the opportunity is offered to wit
ness performance so really refreshing as that
given by Mr. Sol Smith Russell in ga Poor Re-
lation' at Albaugh's Grand Opera House last
week. Free from the bombastic style which
might be indulged in by a less capable actor, he
gives to the part of Noah Vale quaint indi-
viduality that strikes a sympathetic chord in
the hearts of his auditors and holds their most
earnest attention. 1t is not what he has to do
so much as the way he does it that makes the
role of such peculiar interest. His every word
and movement show the artist whose personal
ity is most thoroughly lost in his characterize
tion. Noah Vale is presminenty the creation
of the actor rather than the author, although 1t
must be said that Mr.. Kidder has given Mr..
RUSSELL very unique and sentimental little
comedy-drama through which to reach the pub
lie. The company is more than an average one in
many respects. Miss Lillian Owen as Dollywas
very sweet and charming, while on the other
hand Mr.. Il. D. Tannehill as Jasper Sterret, the
gentlemanly scoundrel, was as unattractive as
he should have been. Mr.. Alfred Hudson as
the honorable and good-natured old gentleman,
Rodertck Faye, was very clever, and so was
Mrs. Mary E. Barker, who did the part of his
wife, Eunice Fdue. In fact. all were good,
from Miss Merri Osborne as ScollopS to the little
tots who figure SO prominently in the play as
Rip and Patch.

Next to New York there is probably not an

was educated.

Saying Goodbye.

Rev. W. II. Zimmerman, who has
been pastor of the Methodist church of
this city for three years, preached yes
terday his farewell sermons, the last
before going to conference now in ses-
sion in Horton. His subject both
morning and evening was "Go For
ward" and his sermons were full of
helpful suggestions to the church for
carrying on the work of the organiza-
ton to fuller harvest. In the even
ing he thanked his congregation for
the many kindnesses shown him and
said goodbye. Mr.. Zimmerman has
made many warm friends and admirers
during his pastorate here. He has
been faithful well-liked pastor, and
the heartiest of wishes both from his
church and from his wide circle of &C
quaintances will follow him to his flu
ture charge wherever it may be.

EVERYTHING READY.
The immigration Movement Of 1890
Under Way-LOW Rates Granted.


Under Way-LOw Rates Granted.
Director G.. G. Sterl has received
advices from the headquarters of the
State immigration Bureau at Wichita
giving most encouraging reports of the
negotiations with the railroads. The
general passenger agents of the vest
ern roads, after a two days session,
have agreed to run series of sO-called
homeseekers' excursions to the west,
beginning in april. A rate of one
fare was decided upon, except to points
west of the Missouri river, or west of
st. Paul or Minneapolis. The rate
will be the one way rate to the river
or to the Twin cities plus % per cent.
which will be the minimum rate to
that territory. Tie sale of tickets will
be on April %, May 20, September 9
and "a, and October IA. These excur-
sions will run to points in southwest
ern Missouri, Kansas, Indian territory
and the northwest.
Commenting on the action Mr.. Sterl
said that the favorable action had been
expected but TO be sure that it would
come was to see the result of the meet
ing on the question. The excursions
as granted, or specified might come
earlier and more of them this spring,
but it would be the work of the bureau
to cause so many people to come on the
first excursion as would prove the
strength OF bureau and the business in
the work of the organization. Should
the first excursion be ahowling success
it was suggested another excursion
might be sandwiched IN between the
first and second according to tie pres
ent program. The executive committee
was well pleased that favorable action
had been taken at last and that the
bureau, as well as all others assisting
and interested in the work, could see
the road clearly and know what to do
The mist had been cleared awoy and
no longer was it a fog voyage, but clear
sailing.
The leading question or feature of
the work as it now stands is to get out
advertising matter and direct the work
of inducing the people to come to Kan
sas, assisted by the low railroad rate
secured. The executive committee
will give this matter careful attention
and make as good show as possible.
The bureau itself will soon have the
state book prepared. Over sixty coun-
ties lave copy in and have made az
rangements for their ratio of the cost.
The matter being sent in is of unusual
merit. The variety of styles and the |
manner the merits of each county is
presented will make the book of I'M
usual interest. Dickinson county will |
be represented as enough money has
been raised by the committee to assure
