' The Omaha delegation which cam to this city last Tilght to promote the organlza tion of a brunch of the American Humane society expressed the utmost surprise to see no many representative South Omaha people present. The meeting was presided over by I C. Glb.on, who stated briefly the object of the meeting. Alfred Millard, head of the Omaha branch of the association, delivered an In teresting addrefl. stating the alms and pur poses of the organisation. Itev. John Williams also spoke of the organization, and explained the scope and value of its work. Mr. Clark followed with an Interesting address. All the speakers called attention to the fact that the or ganisation of a branch to the society In this city would greatly relieve the work Imposnd upon the Omaha members. The Speakers also pointed out (hat they had been assured of the co-operation of the Union Stock Yards company and the mem bers of the Stock exchange, and that there was plenty of work for active members to do In South Omaha at all times.. Instances wore cited wherein South Omaha people had frequently complained of those who cruelly treated children or dumb animals. . Among the South Omaha cltlaens who ppoke were A. II. Murdock, John Flynn, Ttev. James Wlss Bruce McCulloch. Thomas' J. Nolnn and lloward B. Meyers. Those gentlemen heartily commended the Idea of Saving such an organization here, and on motion a committee of five was appointed by the chair to effect an or ganization In the near future. The com mittee consists of Ttniee McCulloch. James Wise. Howard Meyers. W. 8. King and Chariest E. Bcarr. The committee will re port within a day or two, and the organi sation will be permanently effected. Another Kevr Sheep Record. January sheep receipts at the stock yards V Here numDerea ikidui aeaa, wmcn is m largest In the history of this market for XT the first month of the year. So rapidly I "Vga the sheep Industry at this market I crown that the officials of the Union Stock ilfards company are seriously considering the building of another large sheep barn.' Since South Omaha became a great sheep market Nebraska farmers and sheep men have found the feeding of sheep to be a profitable Industry,' hence many of them have gone Into It. This accounts In part tat the heavy receipts at this market. But there Is) another reason- Shippers in all parts d the country from, which South Omaha -can be reached have found that this market . gives the' best net results on an ftveragei Hence more of them ship here very year, and that explains why almost every month shows a gain over all previous years. ' While the receipts at South Omaha for the month of January, footed up 165,601, the combined receipts at Kansas' City, Bt Xioula, St. Joseph, and Sioux City amounted to only K52.791. "In other words, the re ceipts al South' j Omaha, -were -only 7,190 head short of all of the other Missouri river markets combined. To carry the comparison still further the receipts at South Omaha were 'almost twice as large as at Kansas City, more than three times as .large as the St Xouls receipts and more than four times as large as the receipts at "V5iP"ph" fer ' i y Mayor Signs Ordinance.. . The ordinances'' providing for the pav ing and curbing of Railroad avenue have been signed by the mayor and will be Sent to the printer at once. Thus another derail tn the matter of paving this Im portant roadway has been attended to. The expectation Is that next Monday night the city clerk will be directed by the mayor and council to advertise for bids for this work. City Engineer Deal estimates the entire eost of grading, paving and curb ing, from Q street to the county line, at fTCOOO. The street car company intends laying a double track before the pave ment Is laid and will be called upon to bear Its portion of the cost of paving. Engineer Bool thinks that the pavement can be completed about . the middle of the summer. Will Advert te Agsls, An adjourned meeting of the city coun cil was held Wednesday night and the question of the last bond sale was taken up. In November the council offered 121,000 renewal bonds at i per cent interest. Sev eral bids were received, but as the bidders 1 fiM,not understand about the five-year op-IJt-tlon, all bids were rejected and another ad 7 rertlsement inserted. In response o this second request a number of bids ' were sent in and the issue was sold to Victor B. Caldwell of Omaha. Mr. Caldwell bid a premium of U66. This was on December 7, and two days later the history of the bonds was sent to Mr. Caldwell. The con tract ., led for f.' aciieptanne of the brail hv t'wiuity days from date of sale. Mr. Caldwell failed to actpt them and so the council has taken the matter up again. Clerk ShrlMey was directed to advertise oiain for bids for these bonds. Likely tho bids will be opened at the meet ln to be held on February 16, as the eoun- I "am0 n Mvry piece, Chocolate & Bonbons ' aTswy VwcAaf Wmrrmt4t If 70a buy LoneT' Candies in the original se&li4 park ages yoa vil find them la perfect condition, or money refunded.

FIREPR00FING THE SCENERY Blaaeke Walsh Cesspaay Pvepartagr ta Co hi ply with String-eat Chlestc Law. The Blanche Walsh company, now ap pearing at the Boyd In "Resurrection," Is to begin a two weeks' engagement at Mo Vlcker's theater, Chicago, on Sunday. The very stringent laws now In force in Chi cago as a protection against fire have put the company to great expense and the working staff to almost endless work. As soon as the scenery was delivered to the Boyd theater yesterday morning a force of nine men went to work applying the fireproof solution to It Both sides have to be covered, which means ithat 30,000 square taet of canvas hss to be gone over carefully with a brush. It was stated last night that It would take nine men all night to do the work and that probably It would not be completed until time for the mat inee today. In addition to this all the woodwork and the frames on which the canvas is stretched has to be painted with a different kind of solution. The expense will be hardly leas than tooo. but as Miss Walsh is p.-actlcally assured of an engage ment which will net her a large amount the eost Is relatively small.

The terrible purposefulness of this man, the Intense concentration ot his text on Its theme, and the persistence with which he pursues the point he has in view, and the merctlessness with which he drives home his own. conviction, arrest the atten tion ot the thoughtful, if they do not con- vlnoe. Tolstoy deals In contracts so, ex treme as to be shocking. His shadows are blacks, his blacks are abysmal depths ot Impenetrable gloom, and bis lights, seldom turned on, are of the highest, so as to emphasise if possible the darkness of his groundwork. But he, draws true to life. Not a detail of the picture Is slighted, not a touch is slurred. His strokes are broad and clear, and accurate. His pictures ter rify, but they fascinate, and their study has set thousands to thinking. And this Is what Tolstoy seeks; his own course has been sincere, If eccentric, and his Ufa has proven his earnestness. Whether bis harv est will be commensurate is beyond human ken. It has been said that a single soul saved Is worthy any sacrifice that might be made for It. It Is not too much to think that Tolstoy baa saved at least one souL At sny rate, he has, alone of all the writers who have approached the topic, pointed out how a soul may be awakened and raised from its degradation to usefulness and earthly regeneration at least. That Is th. mlsafon of 'Resurrection." It Is not a pleasant play to look upon, but it does maks people think.

Yet the optimism of Leo Tolstoy Is greater than the problem, and It may be that unknown Dmitris are devot ing themselves quietly to expiation byhe means pointed out by the Russian philoso pher who refuses to think all the world ia bad. Miss Blanche Walsh has rendered a dis tinct. If not fully appreciated ! service by her vividly accurate portrayal of the char acter of ICatusha Maslova. It Is asking much of an artist to suggest that she cre ate such a part, and it Is certain that Miss WalBh undortook It not because Bhe ex pected to win additional laurels In Its pre entatlon, but because she honestly felt hat it was a way In which she might do me good. In her girlhood days she was ) situated as to know much of the life of e women like Maslova, and It was the ought that she might be of some service, t only to them, but to the earnest women ,ose efforts to aid them are often mls rected and whose energy is dissipated because of lack of proper ' understanding of the object sought. She enters Into the role with the seal born of a purpose above mere art, and at the same time brings to It all her acknowledged ability aa an artiste, with the result that ' Maslova lives ajid moves with dreadful realism through the whole of the play. Especially In the scenes where her maiden love yields to her seducer and where she is plunged Into the very low est depths of degradation, a woman of the streets, in prison, a condemned murderess awaiting transportation, sunk In 'shame and infamy, and still goaded by the thought of her lost Innocence, does she exhibit that power of character-Illumination that is ths mark ot the true actor. It Is the most vivid contrast in the whole realm of modern drama one that is beyond expression; nothing could be more shocking than the change from the happy, trusting girl, car ried away In the transports of her passion to the sodden, dulled and miserable wretch, who approaches even In prison the casual stranger with the repugnant solicitation of the bawd. What a relief It Is to all, after the Intense strain of that scene In the prladii, to witness the flow of tears of peni tence and know that the resurrection has begun. Those few moments are a triumph for her art worth more than ths plaudits won act after act in lighter and less worthy plays. . Miss Walsh does not end her conscientious effort with the climax of the play in the prison scene, but goes on to the end, care fully bringing out eafi step, illustrating the lesson, so that none of Its points can be missed. And she makes it very clear that the Tolstoy plan is feasible. Miss Walsh's company is competent, al though not so strong in all points as ons might wish. Mr. von Mltxel, who has the roll of Dmitri, Is good in his lighter lines, but falls short of what might reasonably be expected In the more Intense situations in which he Is placed. Yet he gives a very carefully studied interpretation to the ex tremely difficult part, a creation for which there Is no known counterpart in nature. As a whole the play is given In a most satisfactory manner. "The King of Detectives" mt the KrwsT. Theodore Kramer's latest. In which he Introduces a flying machine and a balloon; a street murder and a mutascope, the mov ing pictures being finally Introduced In court to convict the guilty and free the Innocent; the heroine being abducted In a flying machine and thrown out In midair, landing on a church steeple, from which she Is rescued by the hero In a balloon, and similar situations, the whole being grouped under the comprehensive title of "The King ot Detectives,' opened an en gagement at the Krug last night te last the rest of the week.

A citizens' meeting was held at the Cas tellar Presbyterian church last - evening under the auspices ot the Christian cltl senship committee ot the Young People's society of the Christian Endeavor. Five young men of the society gave fifteen minute addresses' on subjects of general Interest A fair attendance greeted the speaksrs. The purpose of these meetings is to Inculcate in the minds of the young people a desire to Interest themselves in those things that make for good govern, ment and citizenship and to stimulate In vestigation. Henry Kleaer, better known In the ad vertising columns as "Henry,'1- made the opening address with the subject "Fakes and Fakirs." Mr. Reiser divided his sub ject Into three parts, namely, the business, professional and religious fakir. While there may be different methods smployed by different fakirs, their motive, that Of money, was the same, declared the speaker. Corllas F. Hopper followed with a care fully prepared talk on "Immigration." Mr. Hopper discussed the subject in Its many phases, from the time in 1820, when theUde of Immigration was beginning to turn to our shores, until 1803, when 857.000 aliens were received In this country. The speaker uggeeted certain modifications of our im migration laws and closed with the state ment, "We cannot have too much Immi gration of the light kind, but we do not want any of the undesirable class. M "The Panama Canal" was well considered by W. Fred Krelle. Mr. Krelle gave an In terestlng review of this great project from the time of Its first Inception to its present status. The sneaker described with much minuteness the various difficulties that have attended the work ot the canal. Henry Hopper advanced various argu ments pro and con regarding the municipal ownership of public utilities. A. Ellurton closed the meeting with an address on ths subject, "Christian Citlsenahip. Mr. Ellis ton said that citizenship and Christianity were compatible. Judge Slabaugh will address the meeting next month on "Civic Improvement."
