OMAHA. March 16. To the, Editor of The

ourselves.
Ths visit of a high class opera company,
presenting one of the most difficult com
positions In modern dramatic music, Is
noteworthy event In every sense. The ac
count In two newspapers here of the per
formance at the Boyd last night Indicates
that a circus has been here and that most
of ths clowns were In the audlenoe. The re
port of The Bee was alone sane and sen
sible. . If pur people do not know how to
dross when attending grand opera "a de
cent regard for the opinions of mankind"
ought to shield us from the mean criticism
of our neighbors and this we may surely
expect, wken they read about It. I have
never read a more deadly character assas
sinaMoh'artlcl than, those which appeared
In the two before- mentioned nameless pub
lications. It was an. attack on cultured
Omaha which will be teceived with howls
of delight by Kansas City and Denver and
Sfbox'plty and other centers of sweetness
and light. And besides the report Is, In

who .brought their lunch In paper sacks and
did not go out to a restaurant.

there are others who have ventured even to

who know beyond doubt that you cannot
enter the dress circle In European theaters

OPPOSE THE CHARTER BILL
Prospect Hill Improvers Adopt Reso.
lotion Denouncing; the Pend
ing Measure,
The Prospect Hill Improvement club at
Its meeting Wednesday night passed reso
lutions opposing the passage In the legis
lature of the bill providing for changes In
the charter of the city of Omaha. It was
the unanimous opinion that the bill had
been twisted out of all semblance to the
form in which It was when It left the
charter revision committee. At that time
the club passed a resolution favoring the
passage of the bill, but sentiment has
changed aa amendments have been made.
Ths resolution reads' a follows:
Whereas, We have learned that the city
charter, as amended and compiled by the
citizens of the city of Omaha by represent
atives of different Improvement clubs and
representatives of different organisations
materially interested la, il, welfare of the
olry,' h&s''been chaitgeffr andr'rr
Whereas, We have learned -that the city
charter has been- so amended' as to- be
wholly in the Interests of city contractors
and to Increase the salaries of city offi
cials and employee so as to become a bur
den to the taxpayers of the city; be it
Resolved, By the members of the Pros
pect Hill Improvement club that we are,
under existing circumstances, opposed to
any change In the present charter . until
such time as the citisens of this city shall
be granted the right to make Its charter
by a charter convention. Be H- further,
Resolved, That a copy of this resolution
be sent to each representative of this
county In the legislature.
The resolution was Introduced by Chsrles
Unltt and a spirited speech In Its favor
was made by J. W. Van Gilder.;
A resolution was passed Inviting O. M.

ject of postal savings banks when he
should return from Washington, also one

PHI DELTA THETA BANQUET
Omaha Members of the Fraternity
Meet at Their Annual
Festivity.
The Omaha alumni association of the
various Phi Delta Theta societies met last
evening at the Commercial club rooms,
where the annual dinner was given. The
occasion was a spirited one, the toasts and
talks being brilliant and the edibles Invit
ing and the decorations neat. M. A. Hall,
retiring president of the association, acted
as toartmaster. Congressman J. 1 Ken
nedy gave the principal talk of the even
ing by responding to the toast, "Theodore
Roosevelt." Congressman Kennedy paid a
pretty tribute to the nation's chief execu
tive and threw numerous sidelights of the
well know characteristics of the president.
B. A. "Benson had a subjectless heart-to-heart
talk' with his fellow fraternity com
rades. Others present were heard on the
general subject of the "good of the order."
Harry A. Tukey and Chester B. Sumner
were elected president and secretary, re
spectively, for 1906. Secretary Sumner
wishes to hoar from all Omaha Phi Delta
Theta members whose names are not al
ready enrolled on the books of the lcacal
alumni association. There Is a move on
foot to meet every two weeks at downtown
hotels and restaurants and rekindle the
old fraternity spirit.
Those present last evening were: B. R.
Davenport, George Maltland, Alfred Mead,
Henry Crulkshank, C. A. Willis, M. A. Hall,
E. A. Benson, George Bertrand, Congress

Harry Burr, a 17-year-old lad, was
brought back from Chicago last evening
by Detective Mitchell. Burr is wanted In
Omaha for panning five forged checks upon
business houses of this city. In all cases
he forged the name of his father, A H.
Burr. The checks ranged In value from
16:40 to J12.85, and the total of them all Is
$37.85. The checks were passed some time
ago, but Harry Burr left for Chicago Im
mediately and was arrested there on a
charge of forgery. The officers here heard
of his arrest in that city and Detective
Mitchell went after the lad. When Mitchell
arrived the boy was on trial, but when the
Omttha officer asked to have the lad turned
over to him for trial in Omaha the Judge
sentenced Burr to one hour In Jail. As soon
as Burr served1 the hour and was released
he was rearrested by Mitchell and placed
aboard a train for Omaha. .

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
City Hall Bond Proposition is Beoeifing
Much Attention.
PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW THE LOCATIOH
Citisens Express Themselves aa Op
posed te Voting In the Dark en
Proposition and Ask the
Connell te Speak.
The coming election, Aprlt 4, at which
several bond propositions will be submitted,
Involves one question which It Is expected
will grow In Importance and Interest until
the day of the election. That la the prob
able location of the proposed city hall. "If
those interested In voting bonds for this
proposition want to see It carry, they must
let the people know beforehand something
about where the structure will be located,"
said a cltlsen yesterday.
In this connection the proposition to re
model the old high school building Is being
revived. There Is a sentiment favoring the
purchase of this structure by the city coun
cil and having It fixed over for a city hall.
It Is contended by those who favor this
Idea that no better site or better building
could be secured.
One citisen says: "I am in favor of the
city hall bonds only on the condition that I
know where the building Is to be. That
must be stated to the people's satisfaction
before the election Is held. Otherwise, I as
sure you, the city hall bonds will be de
feated by a decisive vote, and we will go
along here for another term of years pay
ing high rent for an unsatisfactory build
ing, the present quarters, of course, being
too small for the olty'a use.
"Just let the council apeak out In this
matter. Let it be known that the old high
school, which can be bought for a modest
sum, will be used. Or, let It be understood
that any site satisfactory to a majority of
the people will be decided upon. This can
as well be stated now by the council as
after the election, and It would probably
save a lot of trouble, too."
There were many who held out hopes
that the proposed new fire hall would be
built on the site occupied by the old high
school building If that were purchased by
the city. Another site has been purchased,
however, and that somewhat lessens the de
sirability of the old building as a city hall
site. However, the council will have to de
cide the matter some time, and there Is ap
parently a popular demand for the decision
at an early date, that the people may know
something about what they are voting for
when they vote for the city hsJl bonds.
Wedding; at Judge Levy's.
At 7 o'clock last evening the marriage of
Miss Jennie D. Levy and Mr. Julius Gold
stein was solemnised at the home of the
bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Levy,
2221 N street. A large number of friends
witnessed the ceremony, which was per
formed by Rabbi Cohn of Omaha. A din
ner was served later In' the evening, and
the bridal couple took a late train for the
east for a wedding Journey. The groom is
well known In business circles In Nebraska
City, and the bride Is as well known In
South Omaha, having lived here for several
years.

HOW TO KEEP WELL
Strengthen the Stomach, with Hi-o-na
and Get Perfect Henlth.
The source of health Is the stomach and
the digestive system. When acting as
Nature designed they should, the organs of
digestion do then work regularly and Un
consciously, like a perfect machine.
Those who use Mlo-na do not have a
sallow complexion, sunken cheeks, nor
flabby flesh. Their skin has a ruddy glow,
the eyes are bright, the breath sweet and
the step elastic. In short, the users of
Ml-o-na have the maximum of good health
and are plump,' rosy and robust.
Nine-tenths of all sickness comes from a
weak stomach, causing loss of flesh, shat
tered nerves, flatulency, heartburn, sick
headaches, backaches, spots before the
eyes, rheumatic troubles, and general weak
ness and debility. Take a Ml-o-na tablet
before each meal, and all irritation, con
gestion and inflammation In the stomach
or bowelB will be immediately soothed and
relieved. In fact, the stomach will become
well and strong and the whole system
filled with strength and vitality.
Even If a weakened stomach has brought
you to a chronic stage of 111 health, where
life Is one long drawn out pain, do not de
spair. Mi-o-na will effect a cure if the
simple directions in each 60c box are faith
fully followed.
Read the guarantee given by Sherman A
McConnell Drug Co., corner 16th and Dodge
streets., Omaha, with every package of
Ml-o-na they sell.. They pledge themselves
In this guarantee to refund the money,
should Mt-o-na fall to help.

A general request has been made by
the business men for the flushing of the
streets by the fire department, and this
probably will be done within a few days.
The streets have accumulated a consider
able amount of filth and mud during the
last few days, and nothing cleans them
as quickly as the firemen with the hose
turned on. The country roads are com
mencing to get In fairly good shape, and
the farmers, who came to town numerously
yesterday because of It being bargain day,
said that hauling large loads was compara
tively an easy task. Farmers are looking
forward to the paving of West Q street.
Those from the south end are greatly
pleased with the paving on South Twenty

PREPARING FOR THE BIG SHOW
Master Mechanic and Ballet Mistress
of "Mother Goose" Arrive la
Omaha.
Herr Shultz, the American representative
of the Crlgolat aerial ballet, arrived yes
terday from Denver In advance of Klaw &
Erlanger's production of "Mother Qooee,"
which appears at the Boyd theater next
week. Mr. Shults has charge of the Instal
lation of the ingenious mechanism used In
giving the aerial ballet during the per
formance of "Mother Goose." This mech
anism Is described by thoee who have seen
It as a triumph of man over art. So deli
cate and precise Is Its every part that It
is necessary for Mr. Shults to reach every
theater four or Ave days ahead of the show,
make his calculations and order necessary
changes.
The Inventor of this wonderful mechanism
by which human beings are impelled
through the air with the grace and agility
of a bird, la Herr Schregner of Berlin. In
this act eight beautiful women perform
complete ballets In the air, their flights be
ing graceful, picturesque and beautiful.
Mr. Shults says he meets with new propo
sitions on every stage the mechanism Is In
stalled. He has a staff of twelve assist
ants lit the work, and states he never (rusts
one of them absolutely until after three
months apprenticeship. The members of the
aerial ballet are required to practice one
year before they appear In public.
Madame Minnie Tlgh of the London The
ater Royal, Drury Lane, also came to town
yesterday, ahead of "Mother Qooee."
Madame Tlgh will train nearly 100 Omaha
children, who will appear in the spectacle.
