The committee appointed to Investigate the trouble with the Omaha Labor Bulletin made Its report , sustaining the finding made some time ago and reiterating the charges mndo In resolutions published In the dally papers. The Bulletin Issued a special Labor day paper and it was charged that the editors solicited advertising from the local mer chants with the understanding that Omaha labor organizations were to have their pro gram printed therein. When the paper came out there wns no mention of the Omaha pro gram , the South Omaha organizations be ing the only one represented. The Central LaUor union then Issued a statement to the effect that the Bulletin did not represent that body to any appreciable extent. The editors objected and u committee was ap pointed to further look Into the matter with the above result. The members of the com- mltteo were : Joseph Buggy , James Strlbllng and J. G. Brlnkman. Early Cloning. The early closing committee reported that a committee of fifteen men had been ap pointed to watch the stores until Christmas to see that the law regulating the employ ment of female labor wns not infringed upon. The committee on municipal ownership of the city water works also handed In a re port , A joint meeting had been held with the committee from the Commercial club nnd another one will bo held soon when < Mr. Poppleton will address the committees on the present status of tbo case. It was the opinion expressed by the committee that the proposition of the city council to vote $5,000,000 bonds was simply a scheme to kill th matter outright. A comajwilcatlon was rend from Typo graphical union No. 190. asking that the evi dence Introduced In the trial of Jaeon It , Lewis be taken by the committee from the Central union to a meeting to be held Sun day afternoon , It was decided to ask for ten days' or two weeks' time in which to got ready for the matter. The Barbers' union made a report that four barbers In the city were not living up to the regulations. They were not charging 15 cents for shaves , as had been agreed upon. It was explained that at the present time barbera were allowed their choice of two classes of shops , one where a plain shnvo wns given for 10 cents and the other where a shave with hot towels and other luxuries were given for 15 cents. The matter was referred to the arbitration committee. Iliirnctt AVII1 SinanIlliuxclf. . It was reported that Mr. Elsasst-r had promised to have his deputy , Mr , Barnett , nqnaro himself with the Plumbers' union be fore he took his position In the treasurer's office , Mr. Elsosser said ho would stand by ] ht'i ' appointment , but would have Mr. Bur nett pay up. The Plumbers' union com plained that Mr. Barnett was In arrears. The difficulty between the Bakers' unloo and Mr. Rrlckson was stated to be still far from a settlement nnd It waa decided that If Mr. Krlckhon did not come to time today j u boycott would be endorsed on his shop. Secretary Sparks was authorized to nrlto to the president of the Boatd of Education and ascertain just what the dutlia of the truant officer were , The union decided It would help the officer ferret out any vlola- tloim of the law regulating the employment of child labor in the department stores of the city , The Walters' union reported the boycott On the Hensbaw was still In progress and , Secretary Sparks was advised to write to the Pnbtt Brewing company In regard lethe the mutter to ecu If pressure could not bo' brought to bear from that direction towards settling the difficulty. !

"The Franks" was the subject of the evening. The opening feature was a general historical sketch read by Miss Carrie Brown of the High ehool.

I SOUTH 0&SA8SA mm. lJ l -J About half of the 1899 Jevy has already been expended by the city council and there now remains a balance subject to warrants of $34,885. At the present rate of expendi ture several of the funds will be short long before the expiration of the fiscal year. It takes now about $1,000 a month to run the j police department and only $3,777 remains In I the police fund. This sum will pay Decern- I her , January and February bills , leaving a deficit of about $5,000 at the end of July. The fire fund Is but little better off. It will be behind four months at the close of the fiscal year , as there remains only a little over $2,000 to the credit of this fund. So much money has been drawn from the gen eral fund that only $180 remains , and even with additions coming from transfers a six months' overlap Is almost a certainty. The water fund Is running low on account of the number of new hydrants located and there will undoubtedly bo an overlap In this fund of about $2,000. When It comes to street repair work It Is thought that a majority of the work needed In the spring will have to be performed on time , as there is not suf ficient money to run this department through the winter. Taxpayers have been demand ing street lights and In compliance with these requests quite a number of additional lights have been ordered Into service. At the least cardilation this fund will bo short $3,000 , at the close of the fiscal year. A great many do not consider that the levy Is sufficient , as many Improvements have to be made In order to keep pace with the rapid growth of the city. IJIirnry Involve * Talcfii. Friday was spent by the directors of the library board In taking an Invoice of the books now stored nt the High school build ing and the removal tn Mclteynolds' store was effected last night. The Invoice sho\s about 1.000 books on hand , the majority being in very fair condition. It Is nndcr- btood that several valuable books of refer ence arc missing , but It IH expected that these will bo returned to the association now that the public is to dcrivo gome good from the books. On Monday the books will be ready for circulation nt the old post- office on Twenty-fourth btreet. Mr. Mclley- noldx makes no charge for Issuing or caring for the books. i rx. Mullaii Knf erlnliiH.

To soy that Mr. Whlteslde's portrayal of this exceedingly difficult role was praise worthy , Is Baying much , for the actors left upon the American stage , or any other for that matter , capable of giving oven a. praise worthy presentation of the character arc scarce. As Hamlet , Mr. Whlteslde doubtless has no equal upon the stage today and to this character ho should adhere. Charles. Martoll and other characters of Its kind are be neath him. His reading of blank verco ; IB not only distinct but convincing and the , beauties of Shakesperean construction ate j made manifest by his clever reading.

Tbo regular performance commenced promptly nt 8 o'clock and was finished by 10 and while It furnished abun dant amusement the real fun of the evening commenced when the amateur program was well under way. The first number wns fur- nlfihed by Marie Snowdon , an artist of tender ycnra , who danced cleverly and offered a monologue that was not at all tiresome or bad.

William Cornwcll's specialty came next and right hero was where the fun com menced. Manager Roscnthal Introduced him as "Omaha's own , the Ezra Kendall of the local vaudeville stage , " and the people naturally looked for something to tough nt , which they got In short order. Mr. Corn- well started off with inouologua and the audience soon forced him to wing by refusing to laugh at his Jokes. A song started and they were Instantly In nn uproar of laughter and applause , which was 1,0 hearty that Ilio artl'H was forced to leave tro Htage. This act was followed by n gruphophono specialty by H. II. Myers , Then little Lillian ISmsley entertained with some well-rondcrcd songs.
