CARPENTERS OBJECT TO PAY
ante) at Work on Aadltorlnm alt,
bat Not fader Authority of
tha Colon.
Thirty carpentera employed on tha Audi
torium, acting independently, went on a
atrlke Thursday. About thirty men laid
down their tools and refused to work
longer unless conditions are changed. The
difficulty which precipitated the strike is
tb sliding seal system of paying the men
which haa bean In vogue by tha Auditorium
company.
Some of tha men. It la said, were receiv
ing only SO cents an hour, while others
ware receiving as much as el cents, and tha
man receiving the lower pay objected to
their coworkers being paid so much higher
a rata unless they, too, were placed on the
aama plana. The Auditorium management
contends that It la Its privilege to hire men
and pay them Juat what they ara worth and
no mora.
Tha Carpentera' union did not advise or
authorise theaa men to quit work and their
action la understood to bear no relation to
tha union. No Serious results are antici
pated from tha walkout, as It appears ths
Auditorium company la able to get enough
man to do all tha work necessary.

FRANKLY ADMITS HER GUILT
Beereaat Wife, Mother Three Chil
dren, Estranged by Neighbor
aad Held to Aaswer.
"Sure I'm guilty." was tha prompt reply
of Mrs. A. I Kuts when arraigned In po
lice court on a charge of adultery. The
woman was arrested with R. B. Barton at
107 North Sixteenth street Thursday even
ing on complaint of Charles Kuts, husband
Of Mrs. Kuts, of Council Bluffs. Both of
the prisoner waived examination and were
bound over to the district oourt on bonds
t M0 each.
According to the statement of the com
plaining husband ha and Barton have been
neighbors for some time In Council Bluffs,
and while the former was In the country for
a month working for his family of six chil
dren, Barton took advantage of the absence
of Kuta and alienated tha affections of the
latter' wife, coming to Omaha about two
weeks ago to live, so it Is alleged. Mr. Kuts
says he ha r'x children, the youngest a
babe of S months and the oldest child 11
year of age.

Bingham Men rile Objections.
The attorneys for W. W. Bingham In the
Blngham-Broadwell election controversy
have served a combined motion, notice and
service upon the defendant In this action
en the ground that the defendant's nnswer
to the amended petition of the plaintiff does
not raise the same Issues that were raised
by Mm In the heating of the cake before
the county court.
FINDS SEVENTEEN NEW BILLS
Federal Grand Jory Indtcta Alleged
Bootleggers aad Looks lata
Conaterfeltlag Case.
Ths federal grand jury practically has
completed Its investigation into the boot
lerglrig case on the Indian reservations.
Seventeen Indictments were found. All
of them are of the same general charac
ter for selling, giving or taking liquor onto
the reeervatlona contrary to the law. The
Indian witnesses have been dismissed and
sent to their homes.
The grand jury Is Inquiring Into the
case of Charles flchwenk, charged with
passing counterfeit money, two 160 bills, In
Omaha at a resort In the burnt district
several months ao. In his original hear
ing before United States Commissioner An
derson. Schwenk did not deny passing the
bills, but maintained that he found them
at his home ,ln Carroll, la., and came to
Omaha to have a good time. He stoutly
denied that he knew or believed them
to be counterfeits. It looks as If an In
dictment will be returned against him and
his culpability of the crime determined
on trial before the United States district
court
WANTS THE WRIT DISSOLVED
Alleged Wife Deserter Informs Ceart
Be Does Not Intend Leav
ing State.
Oslas Fallenbaum, whose recent arrest
and trial In a Justice court on the charge
of wife abandonment developed some sen
sational features that attracted a good
deal of attention at the time, was bound
over to the district court in the sum of
11,000. Ho was immediately rearrested on a
writ of na exeat, an Instrument so rarely
used In the courts of this or any other
state as to be almost unknown, whereby
a man may be restrained of his liberty
without regard to any bond given. The
purpose of the writ Is to prohibit the de
fendant from leaving the state and for
feiting his bond, and is only Issued in ex
treme cases, where the court has reason to
believe that this Is the Intention of the
defendant. Now Mr. Fallenbaum. through
his attorneys, has made a petition to the
court to dissolve this writ on the ground
that the court Issuing the same had no
jurisdiction and that the same does not
apply in his case.
Announcements of the Theaters.
The attraction at the Krug, opening Sun
day matinee, will be Mr. Ben Hendricks,
the northland singer, in his beautiful ro
mantio comedy, "Erik of Sweden," by Mr.
Sidney R. Ellis, supported by a company
of artistic ability and a complete scenic
Investiture. Mr. Hendricks Is 'a rare combi
nation of good acting and singing, having
a voice of much sweetness and described
as a rich sympathetic baritone, while his
acting Is magnetic and full of delightful
quaint comedy for which he excels. His
songs Include "Fair Land of Sweden,"
"Phllopene," "Northland Lullaby," "Pass
It On," "That's My Friend" and "Scandi
navia." On Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of
the coming week Manager Burgess of the
Boyd theater will present one of the best
comic opera companies ever organised,
headed by Frltsl Scheff, the young German
singer and comedian who has created such
a furore in America during the last two
seasons. She was a member of the Metro
politan Grand Opera company of New Tork
last season, singing such roles as Nedda
In "I'PagltaooV and was a favorite from
the first, both as a vocalist and a comedian.
Manager Dillingham Induced ber to be
come a star In comlo opera, and Harry B.
Smith and Victor Herbert prepared " Ba

fessionals, as usual, then following a
rousing big amateur show.
The Clrena Will goon Be Here.
The Campbell Bros.' big ahows now con
solidated, will give two exhibitions
at Omaha on Monday, May B. Campbell
Bros, have passed the point of competition
and this season sees the greatest and
srwdest effort of their career. Their rlso
In the circus world has been phenomenal.
They have been successful because they
give the people what they want and are
ever alert In securing features that are
new and startling. This year's features
are entirely new and entail the efforts of
260 artists in the equestrian, gymnastic,
acrobatic and aerial line, together with
twenty-five clowns. Three hundred horses
are used and the performance of the
trained animals Is in Itself marvelous. A
gorgeous street parade will take place at
10 a. m. over the principal streets.

Omaha.
Orders have been Issued to the chief com
missary of subsistence of the Department
of the Missouri to ship 20,000 pounds of
hams from the Omaha depot to San Fran
Cisco, for transportation to the Philip
pines. The consignment will leave here to
morrow. Another shipment of 10,000 pounds
of hams will be made early In June to the
same destination,
Blxty thousand pounds of baoon have been
shipped from the commissary depot In
Omaha during the past month to Alaska
for use of the troupe and another ship
ment of 10,000 pounds ef bacon will be
sent there In July.
All of these supplies are bought from
the great packing houses In South Omaha
and much of them are shipped from the
commissary storehouse In Omaha, and the
remainder direct from the packing house
storehouses, as the emergenoy may require.
The quarterly contracts for smoked end
canned meat supplies for government use
with the Omaha packing houses call for
several hundred thousand pounds, and with
the enlargement of the department and
Increase of troops assigned to It the neces
sity for these supplies Is constantly In
creasing. There Is no particular significance at
tached to these recent shipments other than
that they are for current army needs In
the Philippines and In Alaska. The ship
ments to Alaska have to be made at this
season of the year on account of the clos
ing of navigation by Ice which continues
from September to April 1. But It Is re
garded here with much gratification that
Omaha gets to supply the orders.
GREAT DEAL OF CASH ON HAND
Excess Tax Collection Reaches Top
Koteh aad Quarter Million
Is Expected.
Figures compiled by City Treasurer Hen
nlngs show the collection of taxes In excess
of 80 per cent of the levy during the first
four months of 1904 have exceeded those
of a similar period a year ago more than
three times. The amount In 1903 was g:2,l!w,
while In 1904 it was I8J.S61. This money is
called "velvet" at the city hall and enables
the council to authorize warrants against
Just that much more than arranged for by
the current year's taxes. The Increase is
regarded as the direct result of the scav
enger law and the city treasurer hopes to
make the same statute clean up $250,000
worth of "velvet" during the remainder of
the year.
