it?) l missed you horribly when you
we're in Europe. You and Mr.. Morton

and almost as young. hut he is no lorger
quoted Or copied. He is absorbed n
the management OF the Oliver and al.
though the presence OF first. class
company is always signalized by Frank
Zshrung's faultless, evening dress and
by his solitary presence in the left-hand
box next the stage. his participation in
functions is almost confined to this
semi.professional presiding" at the per.
formances Of distinguished companies.
1t has got 80 now that when a man
wants to find out the standing Of a show
he just asks Frank Zshrung il he means
to wear his dress suit, and Frank con-
scientiously considers and tells him,
though he knows when he says, "busi.
ness suit that that settles it.
While on the theatre, want to tell
you about the young men in this town.
In the days when Ferguson. Jim Irwin.
Downie Muir. Charlie Caldwell, Lam
bertsou and Will Leonard were "gallous
young hounds young men took the
girls to the shows. The queer set, who
are the beaux Of unfortunate Lincoln
girls, do nothing Of the sort now. They
are invited to happy BONES. where they
are fed and warmed and listened to
patiently, and with good imitation OF
pleasure. But they do not repay So
cial cou-tesies. They apparently think
it is sufficient to go calling and accept
all sorts Of favors without making any
effort to return them. The pleasant old
dances given by the Pleasant Hour club
are 70 longer tributary offerings. II it
we're not for the young. indispensable
longing Of every girl to eGjoy life, to
look her prettiest in pretty gowns, and
to just taste the cup poured out for
youth and beauty the ungrsteful, unre-
sponsive, petted youths OF this town
would be ignored by the very pretty
girls who redeem the streets Of uginess
when they pass through them. But
this is an old complaint.
The most successful public entertain
ment ever given by Lincoln people was
the Carnival OF Nations celebrated last
week at the auditorium. The only Mrs.
Ogden was the president general and
she was assisted by score and more Of
Lincoln women whose good nature, en-
a-gy and unselish energy for the city
was rewarded by an attendance OF
several thousand people. Omaha wom-
en- can unite 10 lise effort for the i'm
provement Of the city as soon as the new
auditorium is erected.
Lincoln, although, OF course only a
fraction OF her inhabitants is Catholic
or Episcopalian, is really observing Lent.
Society is taking nap and fast, a part
for the sake of their complexion and di-
gestion unhandsomely affected by mid
night ice-crean, coffee and salads and
the other part is in genuine retreat,
seriously repenting sins. renouncing real
pleasures, giving up favorits fleshly dish.
es and notifying their own flesh. These
will receive the rewards OF conscience
and appear on Easter in resplendent
chapeau and renewed youth. This is q
long letter. 1t is the JOY OF writing you
again, of being en- rapport again with
one whom 1 love.
With all the fervor Of nineteen.

about the inhabitants. Many OF the set
that used to form my whole horizon
have married. moved away. or died and
60 far az participating in current func-
tions, died, married or moved away has
had the same effect. The young mar.

the same and just as gay. The older
married set, the Buckstaffs, Irvines,
w. B. Hargresves, Wrights. Wilson's,
Yates. Thompsous. Leonards, Beesons,
Rodgers. ETC.. has suffered some losses.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rodgers now live in Bos-

depleted by death and by the panic and
long drawn-out hard times. Perhaps

HEAD HUNTER CABLES
Only Chief Americans Want Badly at
Large in the Philippines.
More Surrenders

Washir Gton, May 1.-Two import
ant cablegrams were received Tues
day OF the war department from Gen
eral Macarthur at Manila. In the
opinion OF the officials the news con-
tanned in them marked the almost
complete collapse Of organized rebel
lion in the Philippines. The cable
grams were as follows:
General Tinio surrendered with his
command today at Sinait. He will
deliver all men and guns in his COM
mand as soon as they can be gath
cred together. This completely paci-
fies the first department, Northern
Luzon, for many months the worst in
LuZon.
"Coloncls Ciprano Callao and
Gregorio Katibac, Malvars' best Off
GERS, surrendered to Colonel Jacob
Kline at Lipa on April 28, with 23
officers, les men and SO rifles"
1t was stated at the war department
by officers recently back from the
Philippines that there remained in
the field in Luzon only one chief
whom they were particularly desirous
OF catching. namely, Cailles, the head
hunter.
Later the following cable message,
dated Tuesday. at Manila. was re.
ceived from General Macarthur, an.
nouncing several other important sur.
renders in the Philippines:
Juan and Bias Villamor, leaders
Abra, surrendered Bangued April 27;
now engaged assembling scattered
commands, delivered arms. Aglipay,

Specia Ito News-Democrat.
East Liverpool, May 1.-The union
plumbers inaugurated strike this
morning. All the plumbers in the city
are effected and there is possibility
of long strike. The men claim that
the union is in good financial con
dition, and the bosses. say they can
hold out as long as the men wish to
continue the fight. The new scale was
to have gone into effect today, but none
of the master plumbers had signed
it. The clause which they objected to
is the one which states that plumber
shall not be employed for less than a
days labor. They claim the right to
discharge a man any time in the day
when they have cause It is claimed
the men took advantage of that clause
some time ago when they compelled
one of the master plumbers to pay a
man days wages when he had been
discharged at o'clock in the morning
The scale also called for an increase
of so cents per day. The master
plumbers made no objection to this.
