that durlns the period In which ho was the
owner of stock the American Ice company

of lei' to various departments of tho city
and for tho leasing of docks belonging to
tho city, in my opinion tho owner or siock

Further on In his letter to tho governor
tho attorney general says;
In order to Justify tho mayor's removal

ostabllsli a ense against him upon which he
could bo convicted of u crime under tho
provisions of section 1,1133, above referred
to. but I do bolleve thero should be clear
and satisfactory evidence of his moral guilt.
it Is or 'lie utmost Importance tnat uo
further prnrcedliiKH should bu taken In this
matter uiuebS you are sutlsllcd that tho
charges can be sustained. Tho mayor of
tho Krcntest city in America siiouia not no
humiliated by being placed upon trial upon
churfies which are groundless or which
cannot be proved. Under nil theso
circumstances and In view of tho fact thai,
the chargeH uro made upon Information and
belief, und considering tho great expense,
both to the stnte and to tho mayor, 1 bo
lluvo that If u commissioner U nppolnted or
auy further proceedings taken in the
matter, you should require tho petitioners
to placo you In possession of evidence
which, standing olono unci undisputed,
would Justify tho removal of tho mayor.
In my Judgment, th mayor s unswor
should not ha made public ut this time. As
1 have already stated, tho denials and
lillt'cutlouH aro eleur and explicit, and It
mluht at 'line be suzceuted that the charges
should be dismissed or that a commissioner

An' audience that packed Iloyd's theater
from tho orchestrn rail to tho last row-lu
the gallery saw Allco Nlelsou in her latest
success, "Tho Singing Girl," last night,
and It Is safe to say that, in all that great
concourse, thero was not ono who rcgrotcd
either tho tlmo or tho money It co6t.
Nothing hotter has been seen In Omaha
this season and probably tliro will be
nothing, becauso, so far as ono may Judgo,
It stands for whatever is superlative in
tho realm of comic opera. If a pleasing
story, told In bright dlulogue, and lilting
lyrics set to dainty, sparkling music, and
sung by froali voices; a host of pretty
girls, arrayed, like Solomon, in tholr
glory; a stago that was an ever shifting
sccno of pictures, full of warmth and
color; a cast composed, as regards tho
principal roles, of artists of stellar mogul
tudc If nil theso combined can mako glad
tho heart of tho patron of the theater,
then, assuredly, every ouu must havu ro
Jolccd last night, for all of them were very
much in evidence from tho moment the
curtain rnso until It fell upon tho fln.tlo
nf thn Inst act.
That "The Sluglng Girl" Is quito thol
best comic opera mat nas pecn presented
.... . i
in tho city this season ennnot bo gainsaid,
is has been Intimated, It possesses all
tho elements that mako for popularity, nnd
thero seems no reason to doubt that, on
Its forthcoming visit to Kuropo, It will
ilupllcato the splendid reception with which
It has met In this country. Not only Is
tho piece strong per so. and tho cast
dangerously near an all-star ngcregatlou,
but back of tho principals Is a mangnlflcent
chorus, evenly balanced, and singing with
Intelligence nnd In admirable taste. It Is
needless to say that tho scene Investiture
of the pleco Is superb, tho costuming moro
than usually rich and elegant, tho stage
furnishings handsome and the settings in
harmony with everything else. Tho stage
manager has been astuto enough to realize
that u tasteful, harmonious grouping of
colors ndds to tho effect of tho piece, and
ho has proved himself nn nrtlst of no mean
rank In thu disposition ho hns made of the
various hues, and tho effects he has oh
talnod add not n llttlo to tho perfect
satisfaction ono feels whllo witnessing tho
production.
Tho music to which Victor Herbert has
set Mr. Smith's lyrics Is qulto ns torn
mendnblo ns tho verses themselves. Whllo
thero Is nothing In the piece that can com
pare with the Gypsy Jan In "Thn Fortune
Teller," there nro many tuneful bits that
are worthy of n place in the lighter muel
cal literature, nnd tho chorimos nrn full of
deep and resonant harmony that makes ti
plravlng contrast with tho delicacy and

portunity to don tho hoirely, but becoming
dress of tho European peasant, and a pret

thing sho does as In days gone by and she
sings nnd acts better than ever before. Her

and hor lines nro hotter. There Is a charm
In her unaffected manner and her bewitch
ing portness that makes her altogether

continually ordering his subjects to marry
against their will, Dugeno Cowles nppenred

Magician," showed his powerful volco to
advantage Hlchlo Ling, tho tenor of tho
company, was admirably adapted' to the rolo
of Count Otto, tho lovesick swain," who
looked earnestly Into tho eyes of nil women
