Of The Bee announces the intention of Mr.,

Mr., Ellis has been a vigorous and earnest

the profession. He will leave behind him
a large circle of friends, but he will find
great many people i'm Los Angeles who
used to live in Omaha who will greet him

1t Is reported that play written in col

autumn. MIR. Resented thus eptomizes
the nature of the composition:
The play is ii humorous extravaganza.
1t tells the story of a poor astronomer who
for years had been struggling to earn a
living by his trade. The scene is laid, of
course, in an imaginary kingdom, over
which beautiful and naughty queen holds
sway.
"Wearicd of the labor Of struggling for a
mere existence the astronomer thinks out
a scheme for becoming famous over night
He announces that end of the world will
occur on a certain not far distant day. The
whole kingdom is aroused; crowds flock to
near and see the great man, VINO lectures
and draws big crowds who pay well. He
is in the midst of this new-found glory
when the queen summons him to her pres
ence. She is struck by his loneliness, but
suspicious Of his sincerity. You say she
tells him, the world will come to an end
two months from this day. If it does we

FAILED TO REACH WATERFALL at
tempt to drive an artesian well on
the property of Fred. Birchler, cor
ner of Sixth and Franklin streets, has
been unsuccessful. A two-inch pipe
was driven to the depth of 1854 feet
without striking flowing water. AT
the lower depths a stream from gar
den-hose attached to the city water
main, failed to project the sandy soil
from the casing, and pressure from
a couple of sections of fire hose was
attached to the drill-pipe and it
seemed to work we'll for time, but q
fracture in the Waterman at the fire
plug on the street corner flooded the
street and threatened destruction of
the cement sidewalk beside the First
Presbyterian church, on the south
side of Sixth. street, and that method
of sluicing had to be abandoned.
Yesterday workmen were engaged in
removing the well, and the project
for obtaining water at that place was
abandoned. This is the first of near
ly couple of hundred flowing wells
that has proven a failure, and the
fact is more surprising from result
that on contiguous property distant
only few hundred feet. ample flows
have been secured at the usual
depths of from 100 to $50 feet.

Now that the contestants in the
Perkins Tnins' lottery scheme can
see how little chance they had in the
lead-pipe sinch by which the awards
were made, they will probably not be
so ready to become dummies for en-
plotting another brace-game. The
damage done to the community, and
especially to the fairer portion of it,
the women and the children, is in
calculable, and it is a violation of
statutory AS well as moral law, a
subverSiOn of all that is fair and
honorable. leaving dissension and
rt-burns, as well as loss of self
respect and that dignity and char
acter that is the charm of feminine

employed as to the propriety of all
such plans being considered, before
lending their aid to such ill-advist d
