Saturday virtually promised not to con-
clude any further commercial arrange

proposed revision OF the tariff of 1892 to
preclude any chance of abatement. While
the extension nominally keeps the issue
open for another month. it is practically
certain that nothing Will be accomplished
unless the United States radically changes
its attitude. France having all along re-
garded the concessions as being dispro-
portionate to what was equitable. The
United States is expected to retaliate and
tarif war will then be on.

Omaha theatrical men are preparing to
block by Injunction any attempt on the

While 1t has been conceded the law did not
prohibit actors from appearing on the
stage. it has been contended 1t would pre-
vent ticket takers and sellers, ushers and
scenery shifters from working. which
would practically close every theater in
the city.
If a suit Is flied it will. according 20 one
of the attorneys, be based on the conten-

theatrical performances on Sunday and
consequently it would be improper TO ac-
complish that result indirectly by prevent
ing necessary employees from working

How would you like to have lived in
Nebraska during the days when the
titanothorium was among the prominent

The titanothorium was about the size OF
a large elephant and capable Of slipping
a man into his mouth without stretching
his jaws abnormally. Just how muny
men he could put away at one sitting is
not known.
Remains of this strange animal are inn
bedded in the banks Of the Platte river in
northwestern Nebraska = A. Jones,
civil engineer, who has been with the

and other parts OF the anatomy OF an
animal about nifty feet up blum on the

tinguish the bones, so he took tooth
and other pieces to Lincoln and laid them
before Prof. f. H. Barbourl curator of the
museum and head Of the geological de-
partment Of the University OF Nebraska.
Those are from the titanothorium."
