Near Glasgow, Mo-. a force of men has

Ten years ago A. l.. Beardsley, of Sioux
City, bought seven acres OF land along the
Missouri, ten miles south OF Sioux City.
Soon the river began backing away FORM

100 acres had been given him by the law

across the neck and threw the entire tract
over into Nebraska. But, under the law of
evulsion, the property is still Beardsleys.
The river has made for him a fortune.

TO PROMOTE FREE SCHOOLS.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The general
educational board recently chartered by
Congress for the promotion Of educational
work in the United States organized
to-day. The board consists of w. II. Bald
win. jr.. Wallace Butterick. ]. l.. McCurry,
Frederick T. Gales, Daniel c. Gilmore.
Morris X. Jessup, Robert c. Ogden, Wal
ter HI. Page George Foster Peabody, John
d. Rockefeller. ir.. and Albert Shaw. Mr..
Baldwin was elected chairman, Mr.. Pea
body treasurer and Mr.. Butterick secre-
tary and executive officer. The business Of
fees of the board will be at 116 Nassau
street. New York city.
One of its main objects is the promotion
of rural free schools in the Southern States,
although the charter contemplates educa-
tional work in all parts of the United
States. Pending the granting of the char
ter the board has been at work for year
under articles of association. AT the be-
ginning of it's work "a generous friend,
as announced by the board, subscribed
100000 a year for a period of ten years,
which sum. the board says, has enabled the
demonstration of the possibility or effective
work and the practicability of philanthropic
cooperation with the public authorities. 1t
developed to-day that this donor was Mr..
Rockefeller. Other sums of money, small
er in amount, also have been received. A
recent report that vast sums of money were
to be placed at the disposal of the board
is announced officially to be absolutely
without foundation.

SLOW BUT SURE WORK
COLISEUM COMMITTEES HAVE PA
THENCE AND CONFIDENCE.
Chairman WATSON, Of the Ways and
Means Committee, illustrates Uses
of Building Contemplated.

The coliseum committees are bringing
their preliminary work to the final point
with patience and confidence. The lists
now in the hands of the ten committees
practically canvassed and the expected
contributions pretty we'll understood. The
work has been arranged that the steps
to the final success were somewhat slow,
and the committees have been composed
of busy men who have been soliciting SUBJ
scriptions from busy men, so that there
have been many impediments to rapid work
other than the desire to be slow and sure
The Legislature has many interests for
local business men and many of the mer-
chants are invoicing, that the field work
is more than a little disturbed.
II. p. WATSON, chairman of the committee
on ways and means, said yesterday that
he was abundantly pleased with the status
of the canvass. and that its fruits would
be borne simultaneously.
1--WE have many lines to talk to pros
pective subscribers" said he. "A man who
is able and willing to subscribe sees things
often in different light from that which
is given to him on the first discussion of
the subject. The comprehension of the
colseum advantages is, in some cases, not
coliseum will be for Indianapolis Is found
in the history of Grand Rapids. The fur
niture industry there established perma-
nent exhibit and Grand Rapids stood first
in the manufacture of furniture in a few
years. Then ii was the important point in
the lumber region. Now the lumber re-
quired may be shipped to Indianapolis just
as cheap as elsewhere. We already have
number of large furniture factories and
stand third in the production of the cities
of the country. a permanent exhibit here
has been great success. The furniture
industry is big one in Indiana. With
the coliseum TO show this great exhibit
there would be a decided advantage in the
buying season.
THAT is but an illustration. Why can
we not have exhibits of all industries, of
agricultural products, of manufactures, of
live stock? We have many great gather
ings here. There are countless ones that
we know little of, but let us provide the
coliseum and get them. We have the head
quarters of eighteen national organizations
here, because Indianapolis is an ideal dis
trfbutins' point for all purposes. Why not
get eighteen more? Then let US have thir-
ty-six great conventions like the mine
workers and other organizations. We can
get them easily if we have the coliseum. -
There are a large number of subscrip-
tons OF $1,000 or more assured the commit
tee, and these only lack official authority
to be announced. The next meeting of the
committee will show, ii is expected, a close
approach to the 500, 900 mark

HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS.
BY MAY MANTON,

Waists made with shoulder capes and
trimmed to give stole effect are exceeding
ly smart and very generally becoming. The
very stylish model shown includes both
features and is suited to all the seasons
dress and waist materials: but in the orig
inal is made of beige colored peau de cygne
with trimming of Venetian lace in deep
cream color brown velvet and brown silk
drop ornaments. The capes are a feature
and specially worthy of consideration, but
can be omitted and the waist left plain il
preferred. The slot seams and the princess
closing are effective and stylish and allow
of the fashionable machine stitching with
corticelli silk.
The waist is made over a fitted lining that
closes quite separately, but at the center

number of the lurid melodramas seen at
the Park Theater from season TO season
have been the works of Lawrence Marston,
and in THE Little Mother" which is now
filling in the latter half of the week at the
Park, another play from the same writer's
pen is being produced in the cheaper thea
tiers OF the country. The patrons of the
popular-price houses do not care particu-
larly who writes the plays which they go
to witness. so long those plays prove
entertaining to them, and IL is doubtful III
one out of ten Of them recognizes the name
of Lawrence Marston when he sees it.
MarstOn Is the stage director or the Amer
lean Theater, on New Yorks West Side,
Clyde Fitch or Theodore Kremer He is
not an original writer, but he thoroughly
understands how to work over old material
that ii will seem novel and prove quite
interesting to the audiences to whom he
caters. In THE Little Mother many of
the incidents which he uses have been seen
many times before in other plays of similar
character. but a drama OF life i'm the
New York tenement district it fulfills its
mission, and at both the afternoon and
evening performances at the Park yester-
day IL succeeded in interesting, and at times
thrilling. two large audiences.
This is the story: Nan, newsgirl, is left
in charge of her two little brothers through
the death of her mother. One of the boys is
and the other Is very laxative bit of a
chap. 1t was very wise of Mr.. Marston
to make one of the children dumb, for it's
no easy matter to find child performers
who can speak their lines intelligently.
The boy who does the talking is a clever
little fellow, and carries his share of the
dialogue quite admirably Not only does
Nan have to support the children, but she
is compelled TO contribute to the support of
drunken brute of a stepfather. Through
the Vaccinations of a very meodramatic
villain this stepfather tries to barter Mans
childish innocence to further his own ends.
Bob Dillon, the sailor hero of the piece, as
sisted by a kind-hearted tramp, succeeds,
precious pair of scoundrels (who are being
continually Kissed by the spellbound spec
tators) with proof of the most revolving
villainies imaginable which they have COM
mitted, and the play ends amid the great
rejoicing of the virtuous characters on the
stage and their stanch sympathizers in the
gallery.
The company is quite capable of giving a
good performance of the play. To Mabel
Brownell, a pretty Cincinnati girl, who is
making a success in melodramatic roles is
due the largest share of praise. Her por-
trayal of the honest young girl battling
port herself and her little brothers is excep-
tionally good. j. Frank Gibbons makes
manly hero, and Edwin S. Phillips, Harry
Mack and Frank Mccarthy give clever
performances of their respective parts.
Elizabeth Hunt is seen to advantage ia the
character part of an old Irish woman, and
Edith Talbot is we'll liked as a Bowery
girl The play will doubtless enjoy good
business during the rest of its engagement.
