...AMUSEMENTS...


Absolutely the most inane theatrical at.
traction that was ever seen at Boyd's theatei
was the one that appeared Thursday night
and drew an audience that almost tested
the capacity OF the theater. 1t sails un-
der the title Of "The Spider and the Fly
and after sitting through n single act Of
the performance one could not help think
ing what a pity 1t was that the spider
had not entrapped the fly in its net and
devoured 1t and then been Immediately
crushed under one OF the twenty tons OF
special scenery advertised and not carried
by the organization itself before 1t ever
reached Omaha. From the character OF
the pictorial advertising matter placed
about town the people who attended the
performance were led to believe that they
were to see something decidedly risque,
but they were disappointed In this, as the
play was tame indeed. The company gave
every indication Of being, at most, very
bad transformers. Fortunately the engage
ment was for a single performance.

Two Men Suspected of Being Impli-
Gated in Train Robbery Prove to
BE Respectable Citizens.

Detective Norton of Chicago has been in
the city for several days and the local police
force has been interested also in the sup
posed finding of two men who were impli-
Gated in the famous Northwestern railway
holdup that occurred near Chicago some
time ago. The officers have had their eyes
fixed on two men who were supposed to
have had hand in the deal and sensational
developments were momentarily expected
when the bottom was knocked out of the
whole matter by the discovery that the sus-
poets were two staid men of families, in
Omaha, and had worked for years in the
Union Pacific shops. The local force had
made all arrangements for a raid this morn
ing and thought they would assist in bag
ging big game, but their hopes were dashed
to the ground.
The dispatches from Chicago We're to the
effect that Norton had positively located the
men wanted and the opinion around the
station was that the men were notorious
crooks who had been in hiding here for
some time. 1t was another case of mistaken
identity, and the police refuse to give any
names, stating it would simply be doing
honest, hardworking men an injustice to
mention them.

MARYLAND OPPOSES BRYAN
German Heads Movement to shelve the
Nebraska Man.
EARLY CONVENTION TO GIVE IT A BOOM
have Not settled on Candidate
schIey Absolutely Refuses TO
Have Anything 10 DO
IL with Politics.

NEW YORK Nov. 23.-The Herald says:
Maryland democrats will lead in an anti
Bryan movement il any encouragement is
shown them by the leaders in this and other
eastern states.
This fact was announced to Richard
Croker by ex-senator Arthur p German
and Governor elect John Walton Smith.
Senator German is quoted as saying to a
friend last evening that a sufficient number
OF anti Bryan delegates would be sent to the
next national convention to prevent the Ne
braeka leader from obtaining the two-thirds
vote necessary for a nomination.
While in New York Senator German and
Governor elect Smith have been in close
consultation concerning the democratic pol
icies which Maryland may develop during the
next six months. With them at the Waldorf
Astoria was Buchanan Schley, cousin of Ad-
miral Schley and surveyor OF the port of
Baltimore under the last Cleveland admin
istration. Mr.. Schley is close friend OF
Senator German and his presence started the
rumor that eastern democrats would unite
In presenting the name of Admiral Schey in
the next convention
1t is said, however, that Admiral Schley
has announced that he would have nothing
to do with politics and would not accept the
presidency as a gift.
II Senator Germans plans reach their full
fruition Maryland will hold a very early
state convention, at which delegation to
the national convention will be named
which will be solidly and openly opposed
to Bryan.
other eastern states and some southern
states are expected to follow Maryland's ex-
ample. No candidate has been settled upon,
1t is said, with whom to oppose Bryan.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-W. III. Wat
kns has an option on the Indianapolis base
ball club. He will undoubtedly be the new
owner of the club as the details of the
transfer are about completed. The deal for
the sale of the club has been on for sew
eral months. Mr. Watkins has ALWAYS had
faith in Indianapolis and will alone con-
troll the club. He said in emphatic terms
son interested: mo, sir; l am playing n
lone hand. l have an option on the Indian
apolis Athletic associations stock and this
includes the franchise and players and all
of the tangible property. My option ex-
pireS on Saturday and the deal will be
completed in all probability at that time"
Mr.. Watkins could not be induced to give
club. 1t will be in the neighborhood of
$4,000, however. Comiskey refused a sum
close to this for his st. Paul club and
Vanderbeck of Detroit refused an offer of
$4,000 for the Detroit club and its park.
Mr. Watkins buys only the Indianapolis
franchise and players.
The following players are purchased, be-
ent time: Foreman. Kellum. Sanders,
Hawley, Wood, Heydon, Dammann Foley,

and came from there to INDIANAPOLIS in
1882 as manager. He was with Kansas
City two years; In 1891 managed st. Paul
and Rochester in 1892. In 1893 he managed
st. Louis, won the Sioux City champion
ship in 1894 and for three years was at the
head of the indianapolis team, winning
two pennants and finishing second once. He
was with Pttsburg last year.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 23.-A Chippewa
Falls, Wis, special to the Dispatch says:
Frank Steinmetz, a young farmer who re-
sides in the town of Tilden, received a let
ter last night from Paris informing him that
he is a millionaire twice over. Stenmetz's s
grandfather was wealthy resident Of
France before the Franco Prussian war and
during that conflict all his property was
seized and later confiscated by the French
government. Ten years ago suit was COM
menced in the French courts for the recov-
cry of the property and not until last week

SENATOR JONES AT CAPITAL
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee Talks OF Probable
Legislation This Winter.

WASHINGTON, Nov Ex-senator James
X. Jones Of Arkansas, chairman OF the DEM
ocratic national committee, returned tc
Washington today from his trip to Chicago
where he went to attend conference of the
executive committee.
"There was some effort on the part OF
outsiders" said the senator this afternoon
ito make it appear that very significant bus
iness was being transacted by the committee
AS plain matter Of fact there was little or
nothing of popular interest in the meeting.
It was simply to arrange some matters of or
ganization."
What will be the policy of the democratic
senators toward legislation this winter?''
he was asked.
Democratic, speaking generally" was
Che senator's reply. 81 don't pretend to
speak for anybody but myself when I talk
about any particular measure. l believe in
resisting to the utmost the proposed gold
standard legislation, the abolition of green
backs and the extension of privileges to
national banks. The Hawaiian islands are
now part of our domain by annexation, but
people there should be admitted to all the
privileges of government that are accorded
to the residents of the United States
III We are to regard ourselves as Chris
tian gentlemen, standing on the Declaration
OF Independence, l do not see how we are
to force upon the Cubans or Filipinos any
form of government without the full con-
sent or the governed. 1t seems to me out of
the question to ever make a state out of
the Philippine islands. We are already
pledged to give the Cubans independence
and self-government. | haven't the least
doubt in the world that il it had been known
tn tbn
our war with Spain the words and the Phil
ippines would have been inserted in the
pledge for Independence for the Cubane''
would you support any legislation look
Ing toward change in the government in
Cuba?"
IF progress is being made in Cuba toward
an Independent government fer the Cubans in
good faith / would not hurry unnecessarily
about its establishment. II there is not
good faith in the steps that are being taken
! should be in favor of shaking things up.
1t makes no difference to me If 80 per cent
OF the Cubans are in favor of annexation
they should express it by their vote. I
regard 1t as all important for us to en-
tirely withdraw from that island and leave
the Cubans free to act for themselves"
Senator Jones asked with considerable
concern about the developments in the case
of Senator Quay of Pennsylvania. Apart
from personal consideration, he said. he
should regard 1t as very grave error for
the senate to allow Mr.. Quay to retain his
seat.
The precedents are so strong against
him." eaid Senator Jones, that a reverse.
vote now would give the country at large
the idea that the senate was playing pol-
