AT The P~LAYaOUSIS
vsuaevIne at the creishton-Orpheu~.

vaudeviue nc the Creighton-OrBheum.
Leroy. Talma and Bosco are doing a lot
Of things At the Creighton Orpheum this
week that are mystifying tc the point OF
creeptness. II they had come a couple OF
centuries earlier they would easily have
earned a place in the list Of persons who
we're executed for the public good because
Of being ieagued with the Prince OF Dark
ness. AS It Is. everybody knows "it's only
a trick" but it's done so eleverly. espe-
ciaiiy the Illusion which winds up the act.
Some really marvellous straightforward
work is done. both by M. Leroy and by
Miss Talma, the coin palmipg by the lat
ter being particularly fine. N. Leroy does
some handkerchief palming or rather pro-
ducing that Is In a class by itself.
Bosco is a humorist, as we'll as a magician,
and contributes not a little to the success
Of the act by his funmaking. Some of his
merry quips are almost good enough to de-
serve embalming in the italics OF Mr..
Punch. But this trio Is not the only good
thing on the bill, not by. a good deal. All
the acts are good. and either of them might
be starred with Justice. Winona and
Frank still possess the marvellous preci-
sion with the rife and revolver that won
for them such admiration lest season, and
execute their shots with a neatness that is
delightful to a western audience, most Of
whom naturally know what good shooting
Is when they see It. Melville, a former
popular clown with the Hanlon productions,
has taken a helper in the person Of Miss
Conway, and the pair does a number of
funny stunts, ending their act in an up
roar. Arnim and Wagner sing several Sc
lections from w~ell-known opera, being dis
guised as a cook and housemaid. and make
considerable fun as they go along. Each
has a good voice, and both sing with
taste. Albert Kartelli has some new feats
on the slack wire, which he goes through
with expeditiously and gracefully, and
Hedrix and Prescott do a song and dance
turn that is worth watching. In the kino-
drome are some new pictures of an inter-
esting sort.

A we'll known Chicago hair specialist In

is to destroy the germs, and the only hair

AOORIss IS TO PHILOSOPHICAL sOcIEIY
In DiseussinE Good Citizenship He
Takes Occasion to Deprecate
Ignorance of science of
Government.

At the meeting Of the Philosophical So
city Sunday. p, N. Bartlett spoke Of
Good Citizenship" He said. in part:
when the savage tears a limb from a
tree and fashions a bow and arrow, and
with that goes out and conquers another
savage he performs an act which in It's
very essence is right. for the rule OF ma
ture is that might makes right and the
savage is natural. When the conquered
savage gets together a number OF his
brethren and brings the one stronger saw
ago into subsection, he for the first time
forms a government and the savages learn
that they must cooperate to secure in
creased advantages. But to do this each
must surrender something Of his personal
liberty, And In all governments this is
true, the best government being the one
which takes the least from the liberty Of
the citizen.
Organized government is but the re-
neotion of the citizen. The best citizen Is
he In whom the altruistic and the egoistic
ideas are about equal. Therefore, this must
be true Of the best government. The best
citizen is he who best understands his
true relation to his fellow citizen and to
the government under which they live. In
order to bring this about the citizen should
be educated in his duties as a citizen. Our
public schools are ~good-tbey have taught
everything except that which will make a
mar a good citizen. More time should be
devoted to the principles Of government.

"Are You single?' was the rather strik-
ing and ambiguous subject OF the evening
sermon preached at the First Christian
church by Rev. n. G.. Hill. but he took oc-
casion early in his discourse TO say that
while his title might indicate otherwise,
the sermon had no relation to bachelors or
benedicts, spinsters or housewives, but to
the lives Of his hearers as they are being
lived. He chose for his text James Nv, 81:
DRAW nigh TO God. and He will draw
nigh to you. Cleanse your hands. ye sin
ners; and purity your hearts ye double

DR.. Hill spoke of the fact that men

which he was expected to guide to tho

He called the attention Of his hearers
to the Importance Of avoiding small
breaches Of honesty such as prompt a man
TO avoid the payment Of postage by incor-

not call for 81. He condemned also the
petty receptions and dishonesty of every

Rev. J. L. Marsh OF Lincoln preached at
Unity church Sunday morning from the
topic. The Bystander."' He said In part;
"The bystander "a the real great fnfu-
ence in shaping men and motives. A bet
ter term than the influence Of public opin-
ion is the influence Of the reaction from
the bystanders. That is the real power at
work. From the very nature Of II criti-
cism is a view from the outside. from be-

Of distance from it gives q different view,

ment.
."In all departments Of life the more Just
estimates como from Just those outside
points OF view. from the b%ystander, unin-
volved, disentangled. The student and the
critic each is such a enc. In our " pri-
waite criticism those are the moments when
we look at ourselves from the outside, as
sc were. so long as we examine ourselves
from within the field Of labor and strife
the result Is not an honest one.
Gin the church Il has been the same.
The character Of Christianity has been de-
veioped by the >bystander. and thus also

ned. A great majority Of Christians today
are ~bystanders. Sc far as any theology or
creed. Is concerned. and 1t is the reaction
from this class that has made heresy a
thing of the past. A great wave Of assent
has been given the character Of Jesus by
the bystanders. The same influence meas
ures men not by creed nor doctrine, but
by character. There is more Of a demand
for manhood than for creed.
There is vast encouragement in the
thought that there lie always someone
standing by from whom a constsn. iniu-
ence and control Is coming back upon your
work. The responsibility for results il
thus shared. and there is a satisfaction In
feeling that an influence exerted by force'
outside has something to do with the re-
suit, that progress Is attained by a def
mite process Of action and reaction.

To-day we have men running for the
city council on the platform that they will
get large appropriations for certain wards
asking to be elected because Of their abil-
ity to squander the public money. We
sent men to the legislature who expect to
make a satisfactory record because OF the
number Of bills they introduce, while they
do not understand the first principles OF
government and have no idea of the real
reason legislatures are organized. In the
case of the councilman his idea makes
government organized confscation of prop

tion cannot afford to own a home-govern-
ment confscates 1t. The best government
is that which takes the least from the lib

to curb natural ability and the inherent
rights of the individual 1t becomes In that
degree a tyranny.
'"The stream can rise no higher than it's
source and the government cannot be bet

in reforming governments II is necessary to
begin with the citizen, and when a majority
Of our voters are good citizens in the

AIways Tried the Gas.

"Mr. ~Toppenson told me that Mr.. Mayer
on previous visits to Omaha usually Wis
tied him, and that he (Mr. Mayer had a
habit Of always trying the gas cock upon
entering a room or upon retiring. As this
gas cock was fully eighteen inches from the
electric light handle and as the latter was
in perfect working order l think Mr.. Mayer
must have tried the gas and accidentally
left the cock open. l see no evidence Of
suicidal intent and as, strong evidence
against such theory there is the fact that
the transom was open two inches. oddly,
however. no one had detected the odor Of
gas, even when the porter went to make
the call. Mr.. Mayors position in bed
seemed to indicate that he fell asleep un-
conscious of the conditions, and was over
come without ever waking. Apparently he
was IS years old and pros serous. / under
stand he was not married. He told some
one here at the hotel he was on his way
to Audubon, Ia, for a business trip. He
seemed in excellent spirits. but perfectly
self-possessed."

mittee clerk at the legislature for Repre-
sentative F. NJ. Gregg Of the Seventeenth
district. died OF asphyxiation in room No.
rs at the Merchants hotel yesterday morn
ing shortly before s o'clock, apparently as
q result OF carelessness in handling the

father, c.. G. Mayer, in care of his friend.
Chris Toppenson, in business at Tenth and
Hickory streets, Omaha. No inquest was
deemed necessary.
Proprietor II. b. Peters of the hotel
said; "Mr. Mayer arrived here Saturday
evening and registered as from Lincoln.
At 10 O'Clock be was shown to his room,
leaving a $3.50 call. At $50 J. Jones, a
porter, was sent to call him, but received
no response to his ~knockings and so re-
ported to Steve Miller, the night clerk.
Miller then tried the fire alarm 'buzzer'
in Mayors room and when that failed to
arouse the latter, went to the room door
and burst 1t in. A great volume of gas
gushed from the room. Miller went In
as quickly as he dared, turned on the cock,
which he found wide open, and turned on
the electric light.
Only Partially Disrobed.
He found Mayer in bed with his under
clothing, shirt and hose on. which may
have been because he had lost his right
arm and found undressing dihicult. DR.
8. N. Hoyt was sent for and arrived in a
very few minutes, but Mr.. Mayer was too
far gone to be revived by even a vigorous
pumping Of the arm, and died in a Very few
minutes.
when Coroner Bradley came he found
in the dead mans coat pocket a memoir
andum book which contained his name and
address. We teiephoned the operator at
Stanton, who said he knew Mr.. Mayer well
and that his father is a retired and well-to-
do farmer there. The operator notified the
father, who telephoned Mr.. Toppenson to
get the body and bring II to Stanton at
