situation at South Omaha.

South Omaha, July 19.-All of the
packing houses received a few re-
cruits from out of town, but none of
the strikers applied for work. Not
withstanding that all was quiet, the
strikers did not for one moment cease
their vigilance and number Of men
headed for the plants were induced
not to enter. The best Of order still
prevails. A notice was posted on the
bulletin board at the Live Stock ex-
change stating that the packers can
now take care of 1.50O head of cattle
. day and 5000 head of hogs. This
notice was signed by all Of the four
packing plants here. Commission
men at once advised their shippers to
let shipments come forward.

Injunction Served on strikers.

st. Louis, July 19.-The sweeping
injunction issued by Judge Holder of
the st. Clair county court against the
striking butchers in East St. Louis
packing houses was served by Sheriff
Thompson on the union leaders. All
promised to abide by the injunction,
which forbade them from interfering
with the operation of the packing
plants or with the nonunion men hired
to take the places of the employees
who walked out. There is practically
no change in the situation either in
st. Louis or East st. Louis, and thus
far the strikers have been very order
ly. About twenty nonunion men were
taken into one of the east side plants.
Very little killing was done.

The Cats Eye.

The cats eye stone, now priced as an
ornament, is a very different thing
from the ancient cats eye, or eyestone
Of India, an agate cut so as to show the
so called eye or eyes. 1t is supposed
by some that this latter was used as
money in some parts of India four cen
turtles ago, and specimens found today
have an interest to numismatics.

Real Estate Transfers.
Important to Druggists and Liquor
Dealers.

A law was passed by the last gen.
eral assembly making it felony
oranyone to furnish to any patient
committed to any hospital as an
inebriate, dipsomaniac, or one adj
dicted to the use of narcotics, any
intoxicating liquor or narcotic drug
except upon the written prescrip-
ton of the superintendent of the
inebriate hospital, under penalty
of imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary of not less than six months,
nor more than one year, or by fine
of not less than $500. nor more than
$1,000. By this law no one, not even
a physician, can furnish such inc
briate or dipsomaniac with intoxi-
eating liquor or narcotic drug
under penalty of the law. Under
the same law it is also provided
that anyone who knowingly fur.
nishes any Intoxicating liquor or
narcotic drug, to one who has been
discharged from any inebriate
hospital, except upon the written
prescription of reputable, prac-
ticing physician, shall be guilty of
q misdemeanor, subject to fine of
not less than $500. nor more than
$1,000, and shall stand committed
to the county Jail until paid. The
law makers would have hit the nail
square on the head if they had
made the law to reach the one who
furnishes intoXicants and narcotic
drugs to those already sentenced
and are out on their good behavior.

arrives with manageable son and
daughter at a time when the 'stock of
Obllity" is out. To meet the situation
n strolling actor and singer, Snowman
and Alice Ben Bolt, are pressed in to
masquerade as baron and countess. The
first act ends with the exposure of the
deception. and the flight of the countess
and baron. On this slender thread are
hung a lot of musical specialties, which
are exceedingly clever. and well exc
cuted, both as to technique and staging,
while the chorus work is equally effec-
tive
The second act, set on a roof garden
wherein Snowman is about to bring out
Alice as a star, affords some opportunity
for the display Of histriOniC talent, and
the occasion is fully met. In this act
are produced three specialties written
for the play. the School Days Big

OF Majors book, and various opinions
have been advanced as to its merit for
stage use. Many melodramatic situa-
lions characterize the acting version, and
some rather unusual situat ions have
been chosen to lend variety TO the play.
Despite the cry against melodrama in

hands OF Miss Marlowe and her assist
ing players, were so well acted that
they succeeded in arousing the enthusi-
asm of the audience and making those
in front forget all about the fact that
it was really and truly melodrama.
Mr.. Powers Success.
Miss MarIowe's company has under
gone many changes since she last pre-
sented this play in Washington. One
change particularly is for the better,
and that is i'm the character of Charles
Brandon, played this year by Tyrone
Power, an actor who has two conspicu-
Gus successes Of the present season in
New York to his credit. Mr. Power gives
his role dignity and repose which his
predecessor lacked, and rather keeps the
part which has a tendency TO everyday.
within the limits of reason and comfort.
His work was one of the assuring fea-
lures of the play. and his scenes with
Miss Marlowe were satisfying and con-
sistent. The appearance of these two
players in "Insomar" will be anticipated
with interest.
Thomas L. Coleman, an actor who has
been associated favorably with Wash
ington stock companies, plays the role
of Wolsey, and Fred Tyler makes more
really offers.
