GROUNDHOG IN DISREPUTE
lie llee-ion ot Wisely null Null
Tlme-llomireil I're
eetl ettt.
I II en
The groundhog Is In disgrace. Saturday
which was his day ho prophesied that win
tor was virtually at an end, at least so far
as Omaha and vicinity were concerned. In
accordauco with the time-honored tradition
ho came forth February 2 and, falltug to
sco Ills shadow, remained out to enjoy tho
balmy breezes and genial sunshine of early
spring. If ho really did this it simply
shown that his plgshlp hasn't senso enough
to go In when It snows. Thoro Is nlso a
strong probability that ho Is now lying stiff
In death upon tho bleak prairie, for It must
bo a hardy groundhog, Indeed, that could
wcathor tho blizzard of Sunday and retain
his lcaso of ltfc.
There Is every nvldcnco that this porcine
oracle has been tho victim of a conspiracy
It looks as If Old noreas, Jack Frost, tho
weather bureau at Washington and possibly
Jupiter Pluvlus had conspired together to
deposo "Pork" from tho high position of
prophet of tho elements, that they have sot
ii trap for him and led him Into nn am
bush. In any event, It will bo many years
before he can hope to bo restored to his
position in tho public favor.
It began snowing in Omaha beforo day
light Sunday morning, and continued
throughout tho day, accompanied by a fall
Ing temperaturo and a strong, gusty wind
from tho north. At times tho storm was
almost scvero enough to ho classed as a
blizzard. Tho snow waa damp and spongy,
nnd as It fell was swept by tho wind into
deep Urlf tn. Theso wero most numerous
on the Hldewalks of streets running cast
nnd west.
Tho street ear tracks in all tho down
town districts woro obstructed by drifts,
and marhlno sweepers wero pressed Into
sorvleo early in tho day. Thus, tho- middle
of the strcots wero tho only parts of tho
thoroughfares open to pedestrians, tho side
walks beltig almost complotely blocked, and
It was not nn uncommon sight to sou a
long column of churchgoers disputing right
of way with a streot car and leaping hur
dles or snow in an attempt to reach a
houso of worship.
The snow was so damp that It "balled
up- on wagon wneeis, malting tno tires
many times their noinial slzo; It formed on
tho street car rails In llttlo hard lumps tho
slzo of marbles, causing tho cara to Jolt
as the wheels passed over them, making
every passenger nn unwilling rough rider.
Tho element was in excellent condition for
Hnowballlng, but on account of tho biting
wind few indulged in tho pustlme.
Advices recolved nt the otllco of tho
Omaha weather bureau woro to tho effect
that tho storm center lay In tho Ozark
region of southern Missouri, and that its
goncrai movement irora tnis point was
northeastward. Heavy snow storms were
reported from Iowa, Wisconsin, lower Mich-
i,i:h!o.ai.s.
Mrs. K. P. Orccn has recovered from nn
attack of tho grip at Canaseraga, N. V., by
tho use ot Dr. .Miles' rain Pills.
Among tho victims ot tho grip epidemic
now so prevalent, t. Coylo Is now recov
ering at Canton, 0 by tho usq of r. Miles'
Ncrvlni nnd Pills.
W. E. NlhellB of St. Louis, Mo., who was
down with grip, Is reported much Improved.
Ho used Dr Miles' Nervine and Pills.
Tho friends ot Mrs. L. Donlson will bo
pleased to learn of her recovory from grip
nt her uorao m nay uuy, Mich., through
the use ot Ur. Miles iN'ervlno and Pills.
Everybody says that J. W. Udy Is looklnn
splendid slnco his recovory from tho grip
nt MB norao in ues niomes, lowa. Thoy
nil know that Dr. Miles' Norvlne was what
cured him.
Prosecuting Attorney Charles L. De
Waolo, who has passed tho three-score
milestone, had a tlmo with tho grip, but
when toon at his nomo in Roscommnu,
Mich., tho othor Cay he said Dr. Miles'
Nervine was what cured him.
At nearly threo Bcore and ten Mrs. Galen
Humphrey was fighting against odds when
tho grip attacked hor, but she took Dr.
Miles' Nervlno aud now her nolgbbors In
Wareham, Mass,, remark on how well shn
Is looklug.
After au Illness of flvo weeks from tho
grip Mrs Harriott Jrckson Is ngnln about
and looking tine. Sho began taking Dr.
Miles' Nervlno after tho fourth week. Her
Igan Missouri, Illinois ana Indiana, rrora
tho northwest came reports of a cold wave.
Observer Welsh said that lucre would
probably bo a still greater drop In tern
pcraluro for Omaha and vicinity by thl
morning.

There Is perhaps no other dramatist in
America today who has the faculty ot crcai
inr uhni I termed by students ot me
dranm og ntmosphore in his plays as well
- ,,. auciisius Thomas. This seems to
ono o( Mr, Thomas' chief characteristics
nn wuen ono ..oca to see a play of which
no Ja tll0 author, uo matter whether tho
BCcno j)0 jB,j n ;cw York, San Francisco,
or QnJ, otnt,r pince, tho spectator finds him-
Bc)f (ncrCi n imagination, at least, snortiy
nftcr ,ho cur(nn R0CS ,lp. jn this play Mr,
Thomas transfers his audiences to Arizona.
ns tho name Implies. Not only docs ho tnko
them to tho state, but shows them different
narts of It. First, tho hot, nlkall dust of
tho Aravaipa valley clogs ono's nostrils,
nnd later the eyo feasts upon the beauty
of soldier trappings nnd gowns of 'fair ladles
In tho ball room of Fort Ornnt. Hut, get
ting back to the play, It Is ono that cannot
but please nil who do not object to having
nil of tho different emotions In tho human
gamut played upon. First tho spectator Is
In laughter and then in tears, and often
times during Its progress In absolute anger
Tho themo of tho piece, or tho Incident
upon which tho main portion of tho action
hinges, Is a rnther delicate one, but so
well handled by tho author that It Is at no
tlmo distasteful, and In tho end polntn a
mornl not always found in plays of Its
kind.
It Is rarely that one of Mr. Thomas
plays falls Into tho hands of a poor eom-
pnny, nnd this ono Is not nn exception to
tho rule. Last year local theatergoers saw
tho piece Interpreted by practically tho
original company. Tho one that comes with
It this season Is not the same, but ono
thnt wero comparisons used would not suf
fer In tho least. James Fulton, who Ib
pleasantly remembered for his associations
with tho Woodward Stock company for two
seasons In Omaha, has tho part ot Canby,
tho blghearted, plalnspoken ranchman, nnd
that ho looks and plays tho part almost
faultlessly is n well desorved compliment.
Frazer Coulter makes quite an Ideal Colo
nel Ilonham. Oraco Thome an Kstrella
Donham seems 10 feel tho emotions which
alio portrays, and that she Imparts them to
her audience well can best bo Judged by
the number of handkerchiefs In use In tho
auditorium during her scenes In which
pathos plays tho principal part. Lionel
Uarrymoro. who had tho pnrt of Sorgcant
Keller In last soason'o production, is now
Lieutenant Denton. Thnt ho was a better
Keller than ho Is a Denton thoro is llttlo
doubt. Mr. Uarrymoro has a scowl which
is noticeable In almost nil of his scenes,
nnd a volco that Is too husky for him ever
to succeed in a portrayal of herolo roles,
unless he can eliminate theso defects. Pen
Dean as Dr. Fcnlon, tho post surgeon, fur
nishes tho principal portion of tho comedy
nid brings out all tho laughs tbero are In
tho part. Wlllard Curtis offers a well
drawn character Btudy as Tony, the Mexican
vaquero.
Tho engagement will clooo with this oven-
lug's performance.
Orplietim
Tho current wcok's offering at tho
Orpheum comprises a decided variety of en
tertainment and is, on tho whole, worthy of
commendation. Some of tho "turns" nro
of tho top-ltner variety, but each has some
thing ot merit In It. Lotta Gladstone,
known ns tho "country girl," has some
thing now In her monologue and character
impersonations. Al and Mamie Anderson,
colored entertainers of moro than passing
ability, give a hodgopodgo of singing and
dancing in a little skotch entitled "Tho
Coon and tho Cherub." Dnlo, tho refined
musical artist, Is an old-tlmo favorlto vtth
vaudovlllo patrons and was accorded a well-
merited reception.
Stanton and Modcna return this year with
a new sketch written by Mr. Stanton, 'which
is decidedly amusing. It Is a takeoff on the
propensity of some women to patronize to
o.xccbh tho department store "bargain sales"
and is a very clever vehicle. Digby Ilell,
always interesting and entertaining as a
monologulst, tells any number ot laughable
Jokes and experiences ho Is supposed to
havo had whllo officiating as clerk of tho
Information bureau and closes with his old
but ovcr-ntw description of the tough boy
nt tho bnso ball game. Tho Staters Haw-
thorno sing a number ot songs, of which
"The Willow Pattern Plato" is a gem, and
the program closes with a new set of pic
tures by tho klnodromo.
Mlticn' Trocmlero
Mlaco'3 Trocadero, with tho "Wine
Woman and Song" company as tho attrac
tlon, was packed tb tho doors at both tho
afternoon and evening performances yeator
day. Tho company is composed of clever
peoplo whoso efforts to entertain are not
mado in vain. Thoy rirscnt the smoothest
performance given at this houso in some
weeks.
Donlta nnd her pair of plckanninles, for
an exposition of "scientific coonology," sur
pass tho efforts of the whole Williams an
Walker aggregation. Donlta is a pretty
girl, with n fair and rosy complexion, but
to glvo her net tho proper nBpect sho makes
up to a color almost corresponding with
that ot her roal darkey assistants. Sho
sings in splendid volco and In truo Ethl
oplan tlmo and tho pickaninnies add much
to tho music and comedy qf tho act.
Gilbert and Goldlo, sidewalk comedians
havo a largo lino of now Jokos which they
throw out in original style. Hanson nnd
Drew present an amusing sketch, Miss
Drew's Impersonation of "Sis Hopkins'
being worthy of special note. Tho Four
Amcrlenu Trumpeters and King and Gott
hold complete tho specialty 1)111 without
giving It a woak spot.
Tho two burlesques are up to tho stand
ard. In beauty ot face and figure tho girl
mcasuro up to their billing. Tho engage
mont of "Wine, Woman and Song" is for
tho entire week and Manager Jake llosrn
thai will probably recelvo his clients in
largo numbers at every performance.

YELLOW SMOKE'S VAIN TR1CR
Indian Resorts to Strategy to Got a Bide
to Omaha,
RESERVATION LIFE TOO SLOW FOR HIM
Viiliinli-rm Services n wllnc lit n
WlilsU)- Cimr, but U Himself Ar
rested on the Chnrne niut
Sent Uncle.
Tired of the monotony of his reserva
tion Yellow Smoke, a Winnebago Indian,
braved the dangers of arrest and a term
In prison for the sake of a visit to Omaha.
He was guilty of selling whisky to other
members of his tribe, but with the finesse
characteristic of tho raco ho tried to make
tho revenue olllccrs bcllevo he was merely
n witness to the transaction and willing
to tell his story in court In the Interest
of law and order. Ho was arrested and
Is now under $300 bonds to appear bofove
tho federal Judge. Sunday afternoon, in
custody of County Judgo Comstock of
Thurston county, Neb., ho started back to
his reservation.
This, In brief, Is tho story of Yellow
Emckc'R latest exploit nnd there Is n lesson
in It which does not appear at first glance,
lletl 3l(in nit no tlrlinn.
It raises the question: Docs the noble
red man love the institutions ot clvlllza
tlon better than the fastnesses of his na
tlvo heath'.'
Can Yellow Smoke have a bettor tlmo In
Omaha watching tho street cars than on
the vast reaches ot prairie out In ThurB
ton count?
It must bo that ho can, or ho wouldn't
run tho risk of losing his liberty, which
is dear to tho hearts of the aborigines
Horn ot the mountain and tho rock, he
gravitates toward tho city, like any other
human being. The Innocence of the fields
no longer nttrnct him; tho setting sun,
tho cast wind, the carpet of dead leaves,
the tracks In the snow, tho traits of
coyote, llsh and fowl, tho bark of tho trees,
tho honeycombed Ice, tho muskrat's mud
wall, (ho low-hanging smoke nrc to him a
dead language. Tho glamour of romance
has left the forest and tho stream. He
can get along without the woodcraft of
his fathers. Tho monstrous roll of tho
prairies palls upon him, "even ns you or
I," and ho likes to get his store clothes
nnd his hnblts on and como to town tor a
spree.
This Is why Yellow Smoke smoked up,
took his pen In hand nnd wrote the revenue
offlce In Omnha ns follows:

Orders wero transmitted to the agency
f which Mr. Smoko Is a ward, and ho wan
put on a train and started for Omaha, leav
ing his larlct In kinks ad his Uomau-nosed
cayuso uncurried. nut his story here was
brief, and ho will collect neither witness
fees nor mileage. Tho ofllcers learned after
his arrival that he was the man who had
sold "John Firewater" tho whlskj, and Yet-
ow Smoko was consigned to tho county
ail.
Yellow Smoko Is a big, 200-pound, full-
blooded Winnebago, and his spcach Is al
most as obscuro of meaning as his writ
ten composition. In reply to questions lib
ouchsnfed little besides grunts and stony
fctarcs. He seemed, furthermore, to bo care
ess as to his fate. Now that he had seen
Omaha and that the monotony of his exist
enco was broken ho was willing to return
for another slcgo of reservation life.

When tho city council meets tonight it
will bo called upon to take some action on
a proposition presented by Attorney l-arns
worth In relation to tno grading tax on
WeRt S. T and U strcots. This tax has been
declared illegal by tho district court and
it is tho intention of City Attornoy Lambert
to appeal tho case to tho supremo court
Mr. Farnsworth in his communication re
cites the fact that certain property owners
in this grading district, which Is known as
No. 19. nro willing to pay into tuo cuy
treasury tho sum of $300 providing tho city
attorney ia directed to drop proceedings in
tho case.
This communication from Mr. i-arnswonn
was addressed to tho mayor and council and
nnturailv was sent to the city cicrK. u
nppears now that Farnsworth blundered In
f,endlnc In a written communication, as tho
intention of his clients was to nave mm
see tho members of tho council personally
and Induce them to Instruct tho city at-
fct
tnrnnv lo dron tho case. Since this
has become known it Is hardly probablo that
tno city nuoruu ,,. u
tlons In tho matter.
Another important feature or mo conn-

December has had a history of the bonds,
but still he declines to commit hlmiielf.
It is now proposed to take steps to havo
Hannon either decline or accept the bonds
at once. As the bonds were purchased sub-
ject t0 th legality, this to bo decided by ,
an attorney selected by Hannon, It begins
to look no If the city was getting the worst

To Dlseti IIIkIi School l'lnnx.
It Is expected that nt the regular
monthly meeting of the Hoard ot Education
tonight plans for the proposed high school
will bo Bubmltted by Architect Davis. The
plans appear to bo complete in every detail
aud should tho board adopt them and the
building erected In accordance with the
draft South Omaha would certainly have a
high school to bo proud of.
President Bulla thinks that some action
ought to be tnken nt once in order to re
lieve tho crowded condition of tho schools
nnd to do away -with the renting of outside
rooms. Mr. nulla says that If eighty-live
saloons are In operation this year nt tho
rato of $1,000 each tho board can see Its
way clear to erect at least ono wing of
tho proposed building without the voting of
any bonds Tho bond proposition Is, how
over, being quite favorably considered by
many who favor tho erection of tho entire
building at once.
Workmen Propose to lliilld.
Members ot the Ancient Order of
United Workmen lodge No. C6 pro-
poso to erect n lodge building oti the
property owned by the lodgo at Twcnty-hfth
and M streets, A sinking fund, which nets
$1,200 a year, has been established, and the
lodgo proposes to borrow $10,000 or $12,000
for the purpose, of putting up a sultablo
building. As planned tho ground floor will
be used for a hall, whllo tho second story
will ho devoted to lodgo purposes. It Is
estimated that the cost of tho building will
be in tho neighborhood of $13,000. With n
sinking fund of $1,200 a year it Is thought
that tho debt can easily ho taken care of.

Saturday afternoon one of The Nebraska's customers,
ventured too far from her favorite shoe store, only to re
turn disgusted, yet satisfied, that she had learned a lesson
regarding truthful advertising. She had visited a shoe de
partment where dimes went as far as dollars, according
to the ad man's way of putting it.
She was politely waited upon by the salesman, who
tried to please her, but. after failing to effect a sale, the
customer says. "Are these the shoes you have advertised?"
The salesman answering in the affirmative said "These
are tho shoes advertised. Vou can leave them or take them.
Our business is to try to sell." Now ifouldn't that but
what's the use; when you want real shoe bargains, eonie
to The Nebraska, where all shoes are sold on their merits,
livery pair guaranteed and what the ad man says, is so.
