The exhibit this year surpasses pre-

aud only slightly obscured by aCmoS-
phere and shadow, are pleased with
Dolph's dogs, the "UnbuUton My

pleasant storytelling character,
which satisfy the occasional visitor

aspiration to attain atmosphere and
vibration. But most of the painters
of this years exhibit have confined
themselves to color, form, light and
vibration and the infinite variety of
the aspects of nature, and have left
writers and preachers.
1t is commendable and shows
laudable desire to disseminate culture
in those laymen and artists who have
volunteered to teach Nebraska peo-
pie which pictures are wOrthiest their

prefer to make their own choice with.

When Becky Sharp soliloquises be-
fore the fire after her spiteful, angry
guests have gone. she opens her mouth
and the vowel sounds are full and the
cOn>Onants have their full value. But
Becky Sharp in all the other scenes Of
the play speaks her lines through her
teeth very rapidly. Her GESTURES and
expressions are admirable and illumi-
nate her meaning, but her words are
unintelligible. Her character must
be a mystery to those who have not
read Vanity Fair. She is great act.
ress, and her work has the integrity
OF candid mind, it seems To me in
congruous and inconsistent she should
so slight the dialogue Of an author
like Thackeray. The soliloquy scene
is peculiarly suited to Mrs. Fiske's
temperament. She speaks of herself,
her deceits, her treachery, her
schemes to get into society with such
cOntemptuous frankness. Becky Sharp
was born with those pitilessly keen
eyes that see through shamS and COM
prehend instantly the motive for US
ing them. Such minds often belong
to cyDics like Becky. The clear sight
Of evil is demoralizing and Becky saw
it clear as a child. She was never
unsophisticated and faith never had a
chance to work on her. She alone un-
derstOod herself and she alone truly
estimated and weighed the other
characters Of the play or book. Raw

derstand her, Lord Steyn did not un-

with him. He asked Czolgosz IL he

Collins then told him that he did not
believe 1t could be removed without
serious trouble and strongly advised
him against the attempt. The plan to
take 1t to Buffalo, where Czolgosz had
assassinated the president, he regard

discussed the matter from the stand
OF the Czolgosz family and said they
would surely avoid serious annoyance
and possibly violence by consenting
to burial here. He assured CZolgOsz

that they would be protected, and that

IN SUPREME COURT.
OIL PartnsrshIp Cases Finally
Reach That Court From
Stark County Courts.

From staff Correspondent.
Columbus, Oct. 29-For some months
the courts Of Stark county have been
more or less engaged with cases
growing out of partnerships in the
drilling for oil in Carroll county and in
the vicinity of Scio. One Of the cases
is that of John T. Atwood against
James Welch and Jeh I'm l.. Arnold. In
the court of common pleas, in Stark
county, Atwood got judgment for
$607.02 for drilling dry hole. This
was before Judge McCarty in the jan
uary term. 1901. It went up on error
and the circuit court affirmed the judg-
nient and added some more costs. II

day. error still being claimed. In the
trial of the cause in Stark county John
T. White and G. G. Upham appeared
for the plaintiffs and A. A. Thayer
and G. G. Bow for the defendants.
Welch was quite plunger In the oil
business at one time and owned Can.
ton property. It was he who built the
Phoenix hotel and also several resi-
dences.

burial. Czolgosz was obdurate, now
ever, and Collins finally told him that
IL there was a well grounded suspicion
as to the motive In claiming the body
he would refuse to surrender 1t. law
or no law. Czolgosz then seemed In
clined to give in and went with the
superintendent to the Office Of Warden
Mead, where paper relinquishing all
claim upon the body was drawn.
While 1t was being prepared Collins
called up the chief Of police Of Cleve-
land and asked him to discuss the
matter with Czolgosz, senior. Collins
asked that the situation be fairly
stated to the father and that II he
agreed, q telegram Of REIMBURSEMENT
be signed by him and sent at once.
The Cleveland police expressed the
hope that the body would never be
sent to that city.
When the superintendent submitted
the instrument relinquishing all claim
to the body to Czolgosz he refused to
sign It until he had an opportunity to
advise with Waldeck Thomas Bandow-
ski, his brother-in-law, who was the
leader In the plan to secure the body.
He promised final answer at z
O'clock last night, when he was to call
with Bandowski for final visit to
the condemned man. Collins agreed
to send for him, but would not let the
brother leave the prison. Finally he
was, at o'clock, informed that the
people at the Buffalo crematory would
not accept the body, and 6uperintend-
ent Collins at once pointed out to him
that he would have the body on his
hands. At few minutes past ne
agreed to sign, and II was at once de-
cided to bury the body In the prison.
The agreement signed prohibits any
portion OF the body being removed
from the prison and this Will be
strictly enforced.

manifested itself In dilated eyes and

they finished the examination the
prisoner turned sullenly from them
and retired In the corner OF his cell,
refusing to talk. They gave him no
treatment, and were Of the opinion
that while he was very nervous he
did not show signs Of absolute col
lapse.

Some little comment. Is being made
at Republican headquarters because
Carter Harrison, Of Chicago, and John
Kern, of Indianapolis, are to come into
the state and make speech, at Green
vile. 1t Ia contended that bringing
any speakers from other states is a
direct slap at Col. Brvan. But this
view of the situation is hardly the pro-
per one. Mr.. Bryan cen come into
Ohio II he desires. rbe meeting at
Greenville is a local affc.r. The state
committee has assigned no speakers
from other states. If any local COM
mittee wants Mr.. Brya and can get
him, the state committee would
MAKE NO OBJECTION.
But 1t has probably not been wise
for the state committee to draw the
lines SO closely. A little more speak
ing would not have hurt Democracy's
chances for success.
A Lancaster man who called at DEM
ocratic headquarters, Monday, said that
the speech delivered there Saturday by
John G. Welty, Of Canton, was one Of
the strongest political arguments he
