WE AND OUR NEIGHBORS


The Nebraska Press association en-
lsreed itself by making the wives and
daue hters of members eligible for mem
bership. A committee, consisting OF
Mrs. McMurphy, of Beatrice, Mrs. Per-
kins, of Omaha. and Mrs Gere. ct Lin
coin, was appointed to attend to the
social features of the next annual meet
ing which will be held ut Grand Island.
Not more than ten OF the professional
newspaper women of the state we're
present at the meeting. They decided
they did not care to organize separate
press association as long as there is no
such thing as two kinds OF journalism
divided by sex line-there is no reason
why there should be either two state

association and an auxiliary.

cribable. Many Lincoln people
will remember Mrs. Mathewson
who made the stump speech in the
Omaha minstrel troupe that played here
last winter She vas Hammer. and
she lifted the part entirely out OF the
commonplace. She played it with dis
elimination, finish, delicacy. There are
very few troupes that visit Lincoln that
contain as spirited and as talented an
actress. She has real dramatic feeling
and might have had a career on the
stage, which is not saying that she
would be any happier than she is now.
She has made study of negro dialect

OF the sentimental old maid in "Ros-
berry Shrub" is an realist and natur-

fully as Mrs. Mathewson and does very
effective work The two women play
up to each other excellently. II they

not know that they have any intention

see it.
Perhaps the interest in acting shown
by Omaha is due to Mr. Frank Short, a
dramatic teacher. The "Bicyclers" is
so colorless farce that no acting, how
ever good, seems anything but slight.
Mr.. Short is young, ambitious and time
and he himself alone can prove ability.
But he has certainly demonstrated his
ability to teach acting.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-Two or three YER
sions reached Europe this week of the
cause of Ii Hung Chang's recent punish
ment upon his return to the Flowery
Kingdom. The most authentic is that
when Ii was in Europe he remarked 10
two Mandarins who were with him that
the ceremony of Tzotan was decidedly
antiquated, and it would be better if the
Chinese did homage 70 the Emperor al
ter the European fashion. The Tzotan
ceremony requires that Ministers or high
officials salute the Emperor by humping
the floor nine times with their foreheads.
This opinion reached the ears of the
Chinese Emperor a few days after Lis
return, and he was so indignant that he
was at first inclined 20 deprive Ii of all
offices and honors.
The Emperor and his advisors received
Lis report Of his tour in few days, and
they accused him of making engagements
and promises beyond his authorization.
1t was for this, it is reported, that he was
deprived of years salary. This penal
ty is of 10 material consequence to Ii,
whose private income is said to exceed
100000.

a silver badge containing the name of j.

Opequon in September, 1864. William
B. Bonacker, now residing in Florida,
was Captain of Company /.
John X. Crum was one of three Crums
who enlisted in the Company, from about
Summerhill, the other two being Austin
and Nathaniel, both of whom, according
to the records, were afterward transferred
to Company c, in the same Regiment.
After the war he returned 10 his home,
where he died about ten years ago.
There seems to be no question that this
was the man whose badge has been found
and his surviving relatives can doubtless
secure the memento by writing to Mr..
Sencindiver, at Port Royal, Va, and
stating their claims TO it.-Johnstown

Do You Want to be a Martyr 7

Probably not! But if y"u do, try and

Then you'll suffer martyrdom to this
complaint from childhood to the grave
suffering all its attendant horrors OF
heartburn, wind and pain in the stomach,
weary slumber and nightmare, capri
cious appetite, nausea, biliousness, lean
ness and sallowness. No necessity for all
this. The complaint, obstinate as it is,
when the ordinary remedies are brought
to bear upon it, invariably yield to the
great stomachic, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, which restores tranquility TO the gas
tric region and nerves, regulates the liver
and bowels, both of which are disturbed
by weakness of the stomach, and pro-
notes appetite and an increase of flesh.
