man Will Not Affect Business of
Country I'm Serious Way.

Mr.. ]. v. Steger Of Steger & Sons Piano
Manufacturing company, and the founder
Of Steger, Ill. a thriving city located
twenty-nine miles from Chicago, was in
Omaha Thursday. Regarding business con-
ditions he said: las far as the western
country is concerned, every indication
points to q steady increase In all lines. The
railroads are much pushed for oars at the
present time, which is an accurate indica-
ton that a large amount of freight is be-
ing transported to the west and northwest.
Il have personally observed In M travels
in the last thirty days enormous corn
fields through the states OF Iowa and Me-
braska. Things have never looked better.
and II I I'M permitted to predict, I will
say that the price of corn and wheat Is
bound to remain high. The demand from
Europe for these commodities IL increasing
each year, and conditions are. sure to Inn
prove. To sum the thing up in a nutshell,
II the farmer is prosperous we all prosper"
On being questioned concerning tho effect
that the death OF Mr.. Hartman will have
on business, Mr.. steger said; Had his
death occurred a year and q half ago II
would have been very serious for the
country, but as things are now, It will be
simply q matter OF a few days until bust
ness assumes its normal tone"

"The Girl from U. 8. Az" at the Krug.
A musical dramatic novelty In three acts
that is how THE Girl From U. 8. A." Is
designated by the advance agent, and that
is what it proved to be, to the eminent
satisfaction OF a large audience last night.
Variety in scene setting, costume, plot and
action is al attractive characteristic OF the
production, which is presented by a capable
company, including O lively shorus Of
twelve. With three acts, one each laid In
Paris, Co~nstantinople and Picking, there Is
plenty Of opportunity afforded for elaborate
oostuming n scenic effect, which Is not
overlooked.
Headed by Nadyne shannon in the title
role and "oh, You KID" Dave Nowlin as
the hero, the company is worthy of note
for both its musical and dramatic ability.
There is little melodrama in the piece and
the nine musical numbers comprise the
main drawing card. Among the musica.
pieces that scored hits last night were
will Your Won't YOU Why7' 'Hypno,
the Her. and ~specialties by Mr.. NowIin,
the author OF "oh. You Kid" and other
members Of the company. The Leland

therein are we'll worth the attention and
praise the comedy has generally received.
1t is commonly described as an idyil, and
an idyll is an 'artless. easily flowing
description In poetry or prose. of simple
rustic life or pastoral scenes, The adj
jective "artless" will hardly apply here as
regards both play and player unless. in
deed, one interprets the adjective in the
sense OF that art which oonceass art.
The Henry z. Dixey, who is the beloved
vagabond about whom this play ~revolves,
is the same Dixey who delighted folk in
time past as the Man on the box. as the
Lone Fisherman In "Evangeline." and as
the hind legs Of that celebrated cow.
incidentally II is the same Dixey who,
when q pleased audience insists on a cur
tain speech, tells OF meeting that old lady
Of 50 years whose mother took her when
a little girl to see him in "Adonis." The
old lady must be following the show.
But, although Mr.. Dixey looks exactly
as he did when he satirized Sir Henry Irv-
ing in "Adonis," and though he has the
same effective sidelong glance and other

because OF a better role.

battle with the wolf. When the play opens
she is discovered to have done this most
successfully as the proprietor Of a country
paper In a small Indiana town.
Though tho spectator viii follow the de-
yelopmsnt Of the plot and the story as a
story with great interest, the discerning
win note one or two points with particular
pleasure. The playwright plunges the
family into difficulties which awake the
keenest desire In a father not now indif-
ferent, not now careless and t~houghtless,
to help his wife and elder daughter. But
he cannot because through his ancient cal

Petition Of Mrs. A. F. Sparrow of Pitts.
burg For Custody Of Child.

Brattleboro. April A. A hearing on
the petition Of Mrs. Allan r. Sparrow OF
IPittsburg. Penn, for the custody Of her
daughter. Helen. aged seven, on habeas
corpus proceedings, took place before
Judge X. NJ. Butler Of Rutland Monday
afternoon.
The child was taken from her home
BY her father last February and taken
70 Bellows Falls where she was adopt
cd by Mr.. and Mrs Henry Sparrow,
without the mothers knowledge or con-
sent. Counsel for the child's mother
claims that the child was illegally de-
tanned and that the statute under which
she was adopted was unconstitutional.
Judge Butler said that he had decided
that the mothers rights could not be
ignored and that he should order that
the mother be given the custody Of the
child, but as the counsel on the other
side wished to petition the supreme
court for the privilege Of introducing
testimony. Judge Butler arranged to
have the case brought 10 the attention
Of the supreme court without making
a formal order.
He said the question involved was en-
tirely new in this state. The child win
remain with her mother In Brattleboro
until the case Is disposed OF.
