BORAXOLOGY
The first lesson in Boraxology is bath
ology how to take a bath that really
cleanses
Like all good ologies, it is simple put
BORAX fo the bath water. ;
i And if you ask "why' the Boraxolo
gist answers, "because it softens the water
and thereby doubles the cleansing power'
BORAX cleanses the pores and makes the
skin white and healthy.
. But like most every good thing, Borax
is imitated and adulterated.

Again has Omaha demonstated that
a revival of light opera will r welcome.
This latest of the Herbert compositions
doesn't pretend to greatness, and yet it
Is so much better than what we have
been getting in the musical line that It
seems almost transcendant in compari
son. In it Mr. H'erbej-t has accomplished
.something that should result In his name
being called blessed for many generations
of theater seasons; he has actually sub
dued the brass horns and has entirely
vanquished the bass and snare drums,
and the clashing of the cymbals is heard
not from the beginning to the end of the
aoare. Instead the strings and the wood
lid's blend in softest harmony, and mil
ltd genuine, unmlstakeable music has
come to soothe the ears that have too
often been assailed by noise. For this
Mr. Herbert has thanks. His score con
tains several ambitious bits of composi
tion, and yet nothing that goes aside of
the generally dignified but gonial motif
of the piece. Ha has prepared some
startling little little surprises all the way
through, little runs and trills for instru
ments and voices that dart in and out,
sparkling like fountain jets in the sun
shine," and making the composition one
that fairly delights the ear. Mr. Smith's
book has been prepared with greater care
than has been bestowed on any recent
composition, ' with the result that its
humor is healthy, its conversations natu
ral, and its story quit, within the bound
of reason. "Babette" is a good exai.iple
of what wo may expect to succeed the

"musical" comedies we have been sur
felted with of late seasons.
Interest centered very largely around
Miss Bcheft, who was making her bow to
Omaha, and Miss Scheff must be harder to
please than her appearance and action de
note if she did not sleep last night well sat
isfied with Omaha's opinion of her. She
got a welcome that a popular favorite
might feel proud of, a welcome that was
thoroughly merited. In person she la good
to look upon; she has a fine figure, a pretty
face, a pmlle and way with her that goes
direct to the seat of popularity, and,' above
all, she has a, voice that would win for ber
a position In publlo favor were she devoid
of all other charms. It is a full, rich so
prano, : flexible and resonant, and under
perfect control, and she uses it with great
skill. The eongs she sings in the early
part of the evening are written to show
the beauties and capacity of her voice, but
In the last act she has an aria that exhib
its it in all Its power. She won a triumph
at the close of the second act, and again
with her aria in the third.
Eugene Cowles' wonderful bass organ
still responds perfectly to his demands
upon It, and he does not spar, it'ln his
songs in the present Instance. He sings
with the earnestness of a man trying to
"make good,' rather than as one whose
reputation is secure. He Is heard In every
act. Richie ling, with his sweet and mel
low tenor, has fine opportunities, too, and
so does Ida Hawley, who has a very serv
iceable soprano. Louts Harrison, whose
ripened humor Is more delicious each time
he comes again, has full scope In his role,
aqd with Josephine Bartlett. as a coadjutor
and Nace Bonvllle for a second, lie makes
as good fun as the others do music. The
score calls for solos, duets, trios, quartets
and sextets, and has a number of choruses,
and all are good, so no effort will be made
here to single out any for special mention.
The motmtlng and costuming Is superb.
An audience that filled the theater to Its
limit enjoyed every moment of the evening,
and did not stint its expression of pleasure.

Is a question put to the people of the
country today who are affllated with
asthma, by the Milks' Emulsion Co., Terre
Haute, Indiana.
Their offer Is without a doubt an ex
ceptionally strong one, as they not only
agree to give you a-, written guarantee,
backed by your druggist, that Milks' Emul
sion will cure you of asthma, but in order
to start you off they offer to buy the first
bottle from your own druggist. and give
It to you free of charge All you have to
do Is write them, giving the particulars of
your cass.
Heretofore, asthma has been considered
almost Incurable, but th. discovery of
Milks' Emulsion has convinced physicians
all over the country as well as asthma
sufferers, that asthma Is no longer on th.
dreaded list.
Few men have don. more for suffering
numanity than the discoverer of Milks'
Emulsion. Only those who hav. suffered
with asthma for years can appreciate what

Heretofore th. members of the Douglas
county bar hav. suffered muoh annoyanc.
and inconvenience and oftentimes even
mor. serious consequences front th. rule
pertaining to the getting of flies from the
office of the clerk of the district court. It
has been necessary to procure from th.
Judge having th. particular rue on his
docket a written order on the clerk e
the documents. In the event of tb. Judg.
Happening to oe in attendance at court in
any other county or absent from th. city
for any other reason the annoyanc tht
might result from th. delay will b. readily
appreciated, especially by the members of
the legal profession.
At the last meeting of the bench Judge
Bartlett Introduced a motion abolishing this
rule and allowing: the clerk of th. court
to deliver th. papers In any cut In which
a lawyer Is employed as counsel to the
attorney without th. order of th. court
and upon th. attorney's receipt for the
same. This was concurred In by the other
members of the bench, and th. new process
is now In vogue, much to th. relief of th.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Street KaSlwtf Coo. pin t Ordered io Rip air

WATER AND LIGHT COMPANIES COME NEXT
Anti-Ticket Scalslns; Ordinance In
troduced as Desired By Railways,
Read First and fla.oad Tim.
and Referred.
Concurrent resolutions directing the
street railway company to make paving
repairs which Councilman Zlmman said
would otherwise cost the city $15,000
adopted by the city council Tuesday night.
They were introduced by Zlmman, who
produced figures from the city engineer's
office to show that in 1908 the city spent
11,603 In repairing pavements along the
rails of the traction company. It Is speci
fied In each case that the corporation do
the work within thirty days after receipt
of notification by the city clerk and that
It be performed under the supervision and
to the satisfaction of the city engineer.
The work directed Is as follows: Twelfth
and Howard, with the option of removing
old rails and resurface altogether with
asphalt; Capitol avenue, from Fifteenth
to Sixteenth; Fifteenth, from Capitol ave
nue to Howard; Howard, from Fifteenth
to Sixteenth; Fourteenth, from Davenport
to Howard; Sixteenth, from Dodge to How
ard; Douglas, from Fourteenth to Ninth;
Twelfth, from Douglas to Howard; inter
sections at Fourteenth and Capitol avenue
and Fourteenth and Davenport streets,
where the company agreed to raise paving
to level of new rails; between the rails of
the south track on Douglas, from Ninth
to Fourteenth, and at Twelfth and Douglas,
where paving was removed and disturbed
by raising tracks.
The resolutions met with no opposition.
In answer to a question Councilman Zlm
man said that other resolutions requiring
the water company, electric light company
and gas company to replace paving cut
and disturbed In laying mains and con
duits would be prepared by the city attorney-
and Introduced,
Anti-ScalplnaT Ordinance.
The anti-ticket scalping ordinance desired
by the railroads to prevent traffic in spe
cial rate transportation to the World's fair
and having stop-over privileges in Omaha,
was Introduced by Councilman Hoye, read
the first and second time and referred to a
committee. It makes it a misdemeanor for
a ticket broker to buy or solicit non-transferable
transportation which has been sold
at less than the usual rate; also compels
him to Issue a certificate with each ticket
sold by him, giving the ticket's history so
far as he la able to know. The ordinance
is favored by the business men because
the railroads have threatened to prohibit
stop-over privileges here unless provisions
are made by the city council to prevent
traffic In the tickets. Violations of the
proposed ordinances are made punishable
by fines between 150 and $100. The measure
will meet with opposition In the council.
Ordinances were introduced calling for
now water hydrants at the following places:
Thirtieth and Spring, Thirtieth and Vin
ton. Thirty-first and Vinton, Thirty-fifth
and Dodge, Thirty-third and Pine, Twenty
seventh and Ames avenue.
An amended automobile ordinance fixing
the maximum speed at eight and twelve
miles an hour was Introduced, as was a
new ordinance regulating billboards, con
taining some departures from that origi
nally advocated by Councilman Schroeder.
Slams ravine; Specifications.
Mayor . Moores signed the , paving speci
fications desired and adopted . fy the .ma
jority of the Board of Publlo Works, and
the council ordered the board to advertise
for proposals for asphalt paving around
Hanscom park, the bids to be opened May
23 and transmitted to the council at the
next meeting.
The council approved the bill of the
Omaha Electric Light and Power company
for April street lighting without the ap
proval of the city electrician. True to his
word that he would withhold his O. K.
until the council took action on the pole
proposition. Electrician Mlchaelson declined
to say the bills were all right and that the
lighting claimed had been performed.
The council awarded the Clifton Hill
main sewer, oontract to P. M. Connolly,
the low bidder, for $6,793.67, natural or
American cement to be used. Engineer
Rosewater presented a letter saying that
only twenty-five barrels of cement would
be used, - the difference In prion between
natural and Portland cement being only
1:1.25 In favor of the former, whereas the
difference in Mr. Connolly's offer was 1610.
The council decided to save this money.
' Orders were given to Board of Publlo
Works to buy 100,000 feet of lumber for
the construction of crosswalks.

WILLIE K. DODGES REPORTERS
Tonne Vanderbllt nets Confused
Wars Approached by News
paper Men.
Two very distinguished passengers came
In on the fnion Pacific Tuesday evening
from the west. They were Willie K. Van
derbllt and Claus Spreikela, the sugar king
of the Pacific coast. Mr. Vanderbllt was
accompanied by his wife.
Mr. Spreckels was on his way to Europe
for his health and the Vanderbllts were on
their way home after a pleasure trip In
California. The parties were not traveling
together. While Mr. Spreckels had nothing
of Interest to say to the press, he received
reporters very cordially.
While waiting for their train the Vander
bllts took a carriage and drove over the
city taking In the sights. When they re
turned to the depot their private car had
been moved and they had quite a time find.
Ing it. They walked all over the yards In
the vicinity of the Union station and finally
located it within ten feet of where they
left It, behind another car.
"Where have you been, Mr. Vanderbllt?"
asked a reporter, who slipped upon one Bide
of the young man before he could escape.
"I never Interview the newspapers," In
stantly exclaimed Mr. Vanderbllt, who ap
parently had been looking for Just such an
opportunity and In his excitement had got
his sentence twisted. "If I did," ho added,
"I would be at It all the time."
Having said which he wheeled about face
and was about to start up when he was
told in an assuring manner by ono of the
reporters that only two newspaper men
were In sight and tbey had no disposition
to monopolize such valuable time as his,
but that if he cured he might give up a
few minutes of his two hours in Omaha.
Now Mr. Vanderbllt is not accustomed to
the west and its ways, so he didn't propose
to take any chances. As one of the re
porters advanced toward the young man
he backed off as If he were afraid the re
porters might blto him, and hla wife, smil
ing proudly upon her rich young husband,
exclaimed:
"Oh, I don't think you need press your
Inquiries any; you won't get anything out
of him. Willie has been there before."
At that the rich young man walked pert!
up to his car, mounted the step without as
slstance, and with his wife retired where
tho reporters could not even see him. Mr,
and Mrs. Vanderbllt went east over the
Northwestern.
Mr. Spreckles is going to Europe for his
health, which is not very good. Ha is a
sufferer from nervousness, which princi
pally affects his legs and feet. It is Mr.
Spreckels' Intention to visit Carlsbad an
see if the waters there will not afford him
some relief. The great sugar man is look-.
Ing old. Mr. Spreckles said his trip east
has nothing of a business nature connected
with it. During his stop J. C Stubbs, di
rector of traffic for the Harrlman lines,
whose car stood near, called upon htm and
visited about five minutes. Mr. Spreckle
proceeded east over the Illinois Central.
