THE DRAMA IN NEVADA.

Ibsen's Ghosts" which was given
At the Columbia theater Thursday
night, has been presented nearly ev-
erywhere, and criticisms have been of
all kinds, some saying that the play
is edifying and instructive and should
be seen by everyone. while others con-
denim the play and contend that It
should not be permitted on the stage.
The most unique criticism we have
seen is taken from the Appeal, Car
son, New, where this company APP

Ibsen's Norwegian play OF Ghosts" :"
with one setting of scenery, no music
and three knocks with Il club on the
door to raise the curtain, was pre-
sented last evening.
'The play is certainly moral hair
raiser, and the stuffing Is knocked out
of the decalogue at every turn.
Mrs. Alving. the leading lady. who

hired girl, and gives an old tar 900

PLANK TALKS FAvoRABLx.
Thinks x. u. Might Wish to Resume
Athletic Relations.

Lincoln, Neb.. Feb. III. s. c. Plank,
athletic director of the University of
Kansas, talked with several members
of the State university athletic board
on the probability of the resumption of
athletic relations between the two
schools Mr.. Plank is accompanying
the Kansas basketball team on its tour
through the state and stopped in the
city over Sunday, after the game Sat
urday night between the Kansas team
and Wesleyan university.
He states that the sentiment of the
students at Kansas is decidedly in
favor of the resumption of athletic re-
lations between the two schools and
that mass meetings have been held and
petitions circulated to induce the ath-
letic board to make advances to Ne
braska with that end in view. Mr.
Plank made no effort to secure the re-
sumption of relations, claiming that he
has no authority to do so. Sentiment
at the university seems to demand that
Kansas shall be the one to breach the
matter, and that a definite proposition
must be presented to Nebraska before
anything can be done in the matter.

thought the disa ffected at home are
probably using the present war as a
pretext for their periodical demonstra-
tons which where known are regarded
no more seriously than formerly.
The cOmmander-in-chief's orders to
abandon the advance are reported to
state two reasons for stopping the
advance; first, the losses sustained
second, the failure of quick attack
upon which the advance depended.
The precise meaning of the above is
not apparent.
Notwithstanding the order to cease,
a tenacious conflict continues in the
