The other day the writer saw
a nice dog going up the street
which seemed to be in deep
misery. A close inspection
showed that some fiend had
tied a string or snapped a rub.

tail thus stopping the circu-
lation in the dogs caudal ap-
pendage had caused it to swell
and so tortured the poor beast
that he had torn all the hair off
in his frantic effort to remove
the trouble. The person who
did this mean act to a helpless
animal should be confined for
forty days on a bread and wat
er diet, and with a mighty
small portion of bread. The
dog in it's misery might have
bitten a little child and perhaps
have caused a case of hydro
phobia. We would like to see
persons who are guilty of this
kind of cruelty punished in
some way. Observer.
The fire company was called
to Upper 4th street last night
by the burning of a brush heap.
The person who turned in the
alarm was afraid the fire would
communicate to the barn.
A special telegram to the
Omaha Bee under yesterdays
date reports the death of the
little son of Mr.. and Mrs. ia

is thought the child in playing
on the cultivator started it
down sharp incline and fell
beneath the wheel.

with them through four acts. To single
out one member of the cast for partic-
ular praise without mention of the
others would be an injustice, for every
part is well taken, yet to Miss That's
Lawton in the character of Rhy Mac
Chesney falls the laurel for an excel
lent portrayal of difficult part In the
last act, when she wins her wayward
brother to sense OF manhood by the
very nobility of her own womanhood,
and again when she forces her lover to
give her his implicit trust without a
single word from her to explain cir
cumstances which have filled his mind
with doubt, Miss Lawton's acting is of
the highest order.
Ernest Glendinning as Glenn Mac
Chesney, the younger brother who falls
when tempted, but whose natural hon
esty prevails in the end. is given an
excellent chance to distinguish himself
in the part and makes the most of it.

IN RACHEL CRoTHERS' PLAY,

The Three of U.s." by Rachel Croth-
ers, is said to be one of the best Amer
fcan plays ever written by woman,
and so to aver that the stock company
did the play full justice in the opening
performance at the new Alcazar theater
last night Is to pay no mean compll-
ment. And it is true that the play de-
serves the reputation and the players
the tribute, as any one who was in the
delighted audience last night will tell
you.
There is cleanliness, LONELINESS and
the real live western swing in The
Three. of U.s. and. moreover, there is
a mixture of fun and pathos that takes
the characters straight to the hearts
of those who live the Nevada romance

production of San Toy" and all but
plunged over the orchestra railing to

Other boys of larger growth might
have desired to follow the lead of the
lad of four and breasted the orchestra

Chinese English musical comedy, San
