A jolly band of cowboys we were,

Sand hills. 1t was warm. summer

stray cattle. Supper had been disposed

lit. and each had assumed position
around the camp fire most comfortable
or most convenient for himself.
Each one told of some peculiar hap

The dramatic attractions for last week
were above the average in interest and
merit. Tragedy and comedy ran neck
and-neck race at the Metropolitan, and
both were of high class. Warde and
James made their first appearance at
The Metropolitan in their new partner
ship deal and scored a decided hit. Both
are sterling players, and thoroughly
paved the way for future triumphs in
St. Paul. The latter part of the week at
the same house showed change of the
mask, and comedy reigned, in the person
Of that delightful English actress,
Roslna Vokes. Good houses prevailed
throughout the week, despite the very
untaVorable weather. A better than
usual play was at the Grand in Eagles
Nest" and the patronage was far above
the average, large as that has been.
For the current week there is q series of
attractions from which the most exact
Ing should have no difficulty in making
a selection. Tonight's openings will be
the German company at the Metropol-
itan and the comedy "a Railroad
Ticket at the Grand. Tomorrow even
ing the Thatcher company will begin
Its combination of comedy and min
Btrelsy at the Metropolitan.

Charlie and l were at a reception

ordeal of supper, and when the nuts

discovering one to be philopena, said:
Charlie, eat this with me?" He
couldn't refuse, so we ate it and named
the reward l wished if victorious, but

passed an act permitting Polk county to
enter the quarter section of ground on
which the fort was located, to be used
as county seat.
AS soon as it was known that Des
Moines was to be the permanent capital
OF the state all association called the
Capitol Building association was formed
Tor the purpose of erecting building
for the use of the state. During the
summer Of 1857 the building known as
the, old brick capitol was erected. The
cost was $4,000. 1t was originally a
TtWo-story building, but the state after
Ward put gallery in each legislative
hall, put in basement, and re-
built the roof. There were eight rooms
on the first floor Two were occupied
by the governor, two by the treasurer,
two by the superintendent of public in
struction and two by the janitor as
document and storage rooms. On the
second floor were the offices of the
auditor, clerk Of the supreme court and
the state library. The third story was
occupied by the legislators. The first
meeting of the legislature in this build
ing was in January, 1858, it being the
seventh general assembly. Thirteen
general and two special SESSIONS were
held in it.
INA The Sherman-BrOyn Riot.
1t was in this building in the fall of
1868 that the famous row between Gov.
Sherman and State Auditor j. l.. Brown
occurred. There was a conflict of au-
thority between the two officials, and
Sherman asked Brown to resign.
The latter refused to do so,
and the governor was finally COM
PEELED to throw the auditor out
of office. He had to call upon the mill
tia, though, for aid. Brown barricaded
the doors of the capitol and waited de-
velopments. He did not have long to
wait, for the militia one day marched
up TO the capitol, smashed i'll the doors,
and drove Brown and his allies out of
the building at the point Of bayOnets.
This fight politically killed both the
governor and the auditor.
The first move for capitol building
that would comport with the dignity of
the state was made in 1868, when COM
mission was appointed to prepare plans.
The corner stone OF the present palatial
stone is made from prairie bowlder,
which was procured in Buchanan
county. The legislative portion of the
building was completed and dedicated
to its future use Jan. II, 1884, and the
twentieth general assembly held its de-
alterations in the spacious halls pro-
vided for this purpose.
The old brick capitol, which was To-
Gated across the street from the new
structure. was destroyed by fire in Sep
TENDER, 1892. A feature of the fire was
the spectacular move of Ed Wright, an
old-time legislator, who rushed into the
burning building and rescued his desk
the same piece of furniture before
sions of the legislature. The charred
walls OF the building are still standing.

"a RAILROAD TICKET"
Will Be the Attraction at the
Grand This Week.

will Be the Attraction at the
Grand This Week.
There has been quite change in the
class Of theatricalS known as farce
comedy during the past few years.
Something of the furore which attached
to the early development of this form of
theatrical amusement has disappeared.
but 1t has been to the advantage of the
meritorious productions that were
placed before the public. The deve lop-
ment of tarce-cOmedy has proceeded
along logical lines of the improvement,
and the few that remain of the army of
ambitious aspirants that started out in
this line of theatrical work have won
and maintained their permanent favor
through genuine merit. There are only
few such companies before the public
today, and of these none has won more
conspicuous success than Blaney and
Gates popular comedians in their new
musical farce-comedy, "A Railroad
Ticket" 1t has already made money
and gained glory during this, its first
season, which must be accepted as
a very high standard in measur-
ing its value and popular favor.
The fun in "a Railroad Ticket" is
lnceSsant from beginning to end, and is
all OF the cleanest and most refreshing
description. 1t contains just enough of
plot to join coherently the Specialties
and ludicrous complications which in
trOduce the clever company of comedi-
ans. For the leading role the manage
ment have secured Miss Alma Earle, a
handsome and clever actress whose
face, form and ability are as radiant as
the play itself. The leading comedian,
Louis Wesley, is undoubtedly one of
the funniest actors in this kind of work
on the American stage. He is peculiarly
original in his methods, and creates the
fun in a way that makes people remem-
Der it long after they leave the theater.
The Bijou quartette is another of its
interesting features; it stands high
among the very best, and has wen its
reputation by incessant and earnest
effort. The rest of the company is up to
the standard of the principals, and each
and all have full share in the hilarious
fun of this musical farce-comedy, which
will appear at the Grand opera house
this week.

1t was with a determination to please
all classes of the amusement-loving and
the amusement-going public that Man
ager Scott closed the engagement with
the Bollmam German theatrical cOmpa-
ny, and that his efforts have been appre-
ciated and well received is certainly evil
denced by the liberal patronage extend
ed to the German actors. In order not
to be OutdOne by Manager Scott, Mana
ger Bollman has decided to aid him In
his efforts to please the varied tastes of
what might be called the cosmopolitan
population of our city, and to do this
has chosen play fOt presentation to-
night at the Metropolitan whose author
is not only highly popular in his native
country, but is we'll known throughout
the literary world. The play is entitled
Elm FalliSsement," or "A Failure"
and was written by the Norwegian poet,
BjOrnstierne BiOrnsOn, and translated
into the German by W. LANCE.
Though spoken in the German
tongue it will have attractions for all
natiOnalitieS who aim to study the char
acteristicS and habits Of any other, with
a view to beneiiting and eevating the
social conditions of their own. In this far
Northwestern country. where people of
allclimes are SO far removed from their
early associations, a panoramic picture
of the kind to DO presented on Sunday
evening will prove fruitful theme of
interest and revive many old memories.
The play is well cast. land the BOllman
company have spent considerable time
in perfecting themselves i'll the lines,
and on Sunday evening the MetrOpoll-
tan will probably see, besides the Ger
man-American contingent, many admir-
ers OF the great poet of other nationali-
lies.
