I'ort that Judge Owen P. Thompson of
Jacksonville is to be candidate for
Democratic national committeeman
from Illinois, if true, means that the
Bryan-Sullivan warfare in the Demo
cratic party is not as near to its end
as ii was reported to be a short time
ago. Judge Thompson is probably as
close, personally and politically. to
the N'ebraskna as anybody IN Illinois.
It is said that Mr.. Bryan would like
to make him chairman OF the national
committee. brit in order to bestow
this honor upon the Jacksonville
Judge. he must first be chosen com.

drawn public attention In connection
with an inquest upon a woman who
died of an overdose OF cocaine to the
deadly results of drug habits. All these
habits are carried on in secret, and
they are far more common than might
be supposed. Those who know this
best are the chemists and druggists.

these drugs Is sold for consumption In

Early French Theaters.

The French theater owes its origin to the religious exhibitions given by the pilgrims on their return from Palestine At these exhibitions the pill grims gave an account of the Holy Land and recited their own adven- lures. They were afterward initiated by those who had never been to the Holy Land. To these succeeded dra- matic representations of subjects talk en from the new text, and, being for bldden by the provost of Paris, the priests of France invited the king to be present at an exhibition to prove that they were calculated to excite re- ligious feelings.
 The building in which those plays were produced was divided into three scaffoldings The highest represented paradise. the second the world. and the lowest. which was in the form of a dragons head. represented hell. The unly entrance to the two upper scaf- Holdings was through the dragons head
 The actors never left the stage, even to change their dress, and the plays were so long as to require several days for their completion. At the close of each evening the audience was invited to return until the whole were finished, sometimes forty nights.

STANDARD O|L
 REACHES FOR
 MORE COPPER
REPORT CURRENT THAT THE STANDARD ALLIED INTERESTS UTAH CONSOLIDATED AND TO BUILD A NEW SHELTER.

The rumor relative to the extension of Amalgamated Copper or Standard Oil interests in Utah and Nevada is stated as a fact in authoritative quar. ters, says the Mining World.
 For some time the report has been current that interests allied with the Amalgamated and Cole-Ryan concerns had secured control of the Utah Con. solidated Mining company, one of the big low-grade copper propositions. The report is followed by an official an nouncement that the directors of the Utah Consolidated had authorized the making of new ten-year contract for the treatment of the company's ores to take effect upon the expiration of the existing contract with the Garfield Smelling company, controlled by the American Smelling and Refining com. ipany. It was stated that by the terms of the new contract the Utah company without the investment of any capital would save $300,000 year over the expense of treatment under the exist. ing contract, and the company would not be put to the expense of building its own shelter.
 At the time the new contract was made it was not intimated that the con. tract was given to new interests or ri. vals of the American omelting and Refining company, but it developed lat CT that John D. Ryan and Thomas F. Cole, heads of big copper interests closely allied with the Amalgamated Copper company, represented the new interests in the Utah Consolidated, and that they will build a new smelter for the treatment of the company E ores. They have taken over the land options held by the Utah Consolidated and it is stated that the new interests have also obtained control of the new company itself.
 The new smelter, which, it is said, will cost several million dollars, is to be one of the largest and best equip ped in the west, and will be large enough to handle the ore of other Utah companies.
 The extension of Amalgamated and Standard Oil influence in the copper in- dustry is gradual, but very sure. Di- rectly, these big companies are not in- terested in the new companies that are coming under their control, but they are passing to allied interests which they govern, just as they do the North Butte, Butte Coalition and other big producers, although the latter are app parently independent concerns, only ap- parently, however, for they are abso- lutely controlled by the same influence that controls Amalgamated itself.
