WANG.

Wang" with J. W. Kingsley in the leading role, which has been the talk of the cits for long Jimecomes to the opera house, for one night only. on the 18th.
 Wang" which has probably had the greatest popular success of any modern comic opera, is to be intro duced for the first time in this city next week. The opera has for the past four seasons been one of the greatest money makers that ever delighted a lucky manager. This fact has this season made it possible for an unprecedented amount of money to be lavished upon it's scenery and costumes which aid in depicting life in Siam under the re- gency appointed during the minori- ty of the present king of that coun- try. The company consists of 50 peo- pie and carries it's own orchestra. It also carries every foot of the gor- geous scenery needed for the produc- tion, the cost of this scenery being in the neighborhood of $5,000

SIBERIA.
An Interesting Lecture at Merrill Institute by Geo. F. Kennan
 Explorer and Writer.

George F. Kennan lectured last (Monday) night at the Merrill Insti- tute on the subject of Siberia. A fairly good-sized audience greeted the we'll known explorer and writer
 Mr. Kennan was one of party sent out by SanFrancisco corpora tion with a view of erecting a tele- graph line to St. Petersburg, Russia, by way of Alaska and Siberia, and his lecture is relation of incidents connected with that journey and a description of the language, customs and manners of the Russians and Siberians. Mir. Kennan has good voice for the lecture platform and is possessed of a sufficient amount of wit to make his purely descriptive lecture an interesting one.
 His description of the people of the frozen north was very graphic, and one could listen for hours while he tells of their peculiar life.
 Mir. Kennan gave a description of an aurora borealis seen by him when near the Arctic Ocean. His words conveyed his ideas so clearly that one could almost see the moving colors in the sky. His account of the aurora borealis was beautiful and impressive.
 Mr. Kennan also told of the sui fering endured by him and party the same night, when the tempera- ture was nearly sixty degrees below zero. He said that when people were properly fed and clothed they could sleep with comfort on the frozen ground with the temperature at 20 degrees below zero, but that 1t became dangerous to sleep without fire and shelter when any colder.
 The lecture was listened to atten- lively throughout by the audience.

Dancing Birds.

One of the many strange sights on
the plains Of southern Africa is party
of Waiting ostriches. Their queer an
tics have been described thus
"When tnere are number of them,
they will start off in the morning and
after runni, few hundred yards will
stop, and with raised wings will whirl
rapidly round till they are stupefied or
perhaps break leg Nhe males pose
also before fighting and to make their
court. They kneel on their ankles,
opening their wings and balancing
themselves alternately forward and
backward or to one side or the other,
while the neck is stretched on level
with the back and the head strikes the
sides, now ON the right, now on the
left, while the feathers are bristling.
The bird appears at this time 30 absorb
cd in it's occupation as to forget all that
Is going on around him and can be APP
preached and caught. The male alone
utters q cry, which sounds much like
an effort to speak with the mouth shut
tight"

VISITING A SHRINE.

nous saint of the Mohammedans
While Lieutenant Rawlinson was on
his way to Tcheran he heard much of
this sacred city and the glories of the
shrine, which, it was said, no Euro
pean had ever entered. Death, so rumor
whispered, would be the portion of the
audaoious infidel who should be discov.
cred within its precincts
Toa young and ardent spirit danger
Gus adventure is an irresistible attrac-
ton. Young Rawlinson determined 10
visit the shrine. Disguised as Persian
pilgrim, thousands of whom annually
journey to the sacred city, he joined the
crowd of pilgrims. His knowledge Of
try enabled him to pass undetected
through the temple gates and to make
his way to the tomb of tho saint. The
guardian gave him the customary form
of words and he repeated them.
But his curiosity almost caused his
detection. Attracted by magnificent
suits of steel armor which hung on the
walls, he was gazing at them, When
suddenly he found that he had turned
his back upon the sacred shrine where.
in the saint was entombed
A thrill of alarm startled him, bul

MATES OF GREAT MEN.
The Wives of Both Disraeli and Gladstone
Were Brave.


The Wives of Both DisraeIi and Gladstone
Were Brave.
Once when Gladstone was making an
outdoor speech it began to rain. Quietly
Mrs. Gladstone, with her sweet, moth
erly face, and who always accompanied
her husband, stood up, and, opening a
domestic looking umbrella Of the Camp
species, held it over him. The spectacle
which the old couple presented there
standing together was SO touching and
appealed SO thoroughly to the good feel
ings Of the crowd, because Of the strik-
ing picture of Darby and Joan domes-
ITCHY, that when burly costermongor,
who had been loudest In his catcalls
and hooting Of Mr.. Gladstone up o
that moment, suddenly shouted, "Three
cheers for the grand old woman" every
one responded with will.
Lady Beaconsfield showed similar de-
votion to Gladstone's great rival on
more than one occasion. She, too, was
devoted to her husband, and many old
parliamentarians recall the story of how
after having had her hand terribly
crushed in the carriage door while driv-
ing down to the house Of parliament
with Disraeli she refrained from utter
ing cry or from saying word about
her injury lest his mind should be divert
ed from the great and important speech
which he was to deliver that night. IL
was not until he reached home an |
found the doctor at her bedside that he
was made aware that she had sustained
any hurt.-New York Herald.

Discovery Of the Home Of Buddha.

Far away on the border Of Nepal the
home of Guatama Buddha has been dis
covered. Buddha lived about 500 B. G
and was the son Of the rajah of Kapila-
vastu. A pillar. inscribed by the EN-
peror Asoka in the third century b. O.,
marks the city's site. The ruins are all
of brick and are covered with jungle
and 20 extensive that their exploration
will require years. The city was de-

NO AGITATION IN PARIS.
Decision of Court OF Cessation Approx
by Most Papers

Decision of Court OF Cessation Approved
by Most Papers.
PARIS, Oct. 3l.-Nowhere was there
sign Of agitation Sunday. The city is
quiet The anti-Semite papers vainly
endeavor, by abusing the judges of the
cessation, to lash the public into hostile
demonstration, but the people seem
rather inclined to resent the culpability
or imbecility of the high officers of the
general staff who allowed themselves to
become the prey of unscrupulous forgers-
This refers especially to the officers de-
puted to investigate the Dreyfus affair.
1t is believed even now that important
facts are being concealed in order to
shield the headquarters staff.
Most Of the Paris papers approve
the decision of the court of cessation,
although the "Gaulois" and the Eclais
declare that even now revision is by no
means certain. The Liberte bows to the
decision but does not think it will end
the agitation.
The Figaro announces that Comte
Esterhazy has been deprived of his mem
bership in the Legion of Honor.
The Dreyfus decision seems to have
DELAYED a solution of the cabinet crisis.

insurance case from Linn county was
submitted to the supreme court yester-

against the Union Central Life Insur-

The controversy is whether or not a
policy can be voided except by viola
ion Of the provisions in the instrument
Itself. In this case the company claims
hat the deceased, who died of consump-
ion, willfully misled the company
n securing his policy by concealing the
fact that he had consumption, which
{ claims he had for a number OF years
prior to his examination. A Judgment
was rendered in the Cedar Rapids supe'
.ior court in favor of the beneficiary,
Mrs. WEIGH. The supreme court will
