| | asking our town board to pass an ordlnanco
B ! { requiring hotels to pay a license for running
EVfl j a bus , and prohibit any any ono from Bolicit-
B iiig trade on the depot grounus And all
this because the company has built u llttlo
I ono-horso eating house hero and is afraid a
M dollar might stray up town and be lost to it
The efforts that have been put forth hero to
rob our town of a little trade would bring a
blush of sharao to the fuco of nn army mule ,
H For genuine , unudulteratod hogisnncss , the
H IS & M. is entitled to the ribbon The pay
{ lag of a bus license would bo u great help to
fl them , Whut a muster mind it must have
been wherein was born this wonderful
I thoughtl The company should keep close
H watch of the olllcial who possesses such a
mighty Intellect , Few roads are bo for
tunuto ns to secure such It was nn insult to
our agent , who is ono of the very best in the
compau.y'a.ouiploy , to ask him to present
such a mnttnrto\nur citizens , and the one
who did it is lacking In everything that goes
toward the making of a man Omzux

THEIR HOME INSIDE OUT
The Odd Dwelling or a Faintly in a
Cnlitornln forest
A hunter on his way up Itussian
river , Cnl , , hoard a rustlinpr of the dead
loaves , as if a deer had risen to look
out for the intruder Tlio spot from
which the rustling ciitno was hidden by
a Riant redwood , 'or rather , several of
tlio giant trees grown together Drop
ping on his hunds and lcuoes the hunter
crawled to the tree , and pushing his
riilo ahead of him , peered around for
the quarry
There rose from , among the leaves , no
door , hut instead a pretty goldou-
haired , bluo-evod , doll-like little girl ,
apparently about six years old Ho
only saw her for a mdinont Then she
ran with a startled cry , direotlv " to
ward him nnd thotrco , and vnnisliod" . Not
moro than a dozen foot so pant ted thorn
whan the fairylike apparition disap
peared
The puzzled hunter sprang over the
spreading ' roors to find the Bprito
There was nothing in sight Suddenly
his wondorlngs were interrupted by a
soft voice behind him :
Good ovouing , sir "
Ho turned and saw in the dark hollow
of the big tree a woman holding up a
deerskin curtaiiu The gray sitin was
no near the color ot tlio mossy trunk
that ho had not noticed it , Now ho
saw that the Curtain hid a big hollow
• from which the woman had como , while
from behind her dress showed tbo faces
of several children , among thorn thut of
the pretty child that had so startled
him
, Ho answered the greotlng , and , to
cover his surprise , asked for a drink of
water Ho entered the hollow , , and
while she was dlJMng.tho " water from
a bucket ho lookcirnnjund and saw that
the piano was aajtiUialy fitted up as any

In attendance nt the Sarnsnto-D'Albort con
cert Inst evening The virtuoso ? were nt
their best , and tbo genial responsiveness
which they kindled In the breasts of their
auditors was nmplo ovldonco of the power ,
the spoil of sansion , thai these mnstors of
tlio sweetest 'intiso wlold Herr D'Albort ,
who Was hoard la the lirst number , a sonatc ,
op , Mi tn C , L. Lnn Beethoven , nt once ap
plied himself to tha rendition of this
brilliant but desultory quarto The move
ment is ltvoly , nlltgro con brio , but is
largely In octavos , and therefore Indeed the
moro dulcet harmony of thirds nnd sixths
Though rcplolu with brilliant fluency , there
wns some lack ot smoothness nnd shading
in the forte passages He plays with great
force and consummate oxccutnnt skill , but u
little moro roiwso or nonchalance would mid
grace to the general effect
The next number , andanlo and varla tlona
from Sonata dedicated to ICrculzor , L. Van
Bocthoven , was Mme Borlho Mar * und
Sopor Snrasato's itiltfal 11 o sue vlollno are
ono It is his llrth member Ho bus nil tlio
grace of manner which nature has so lav
ishly bestowed upon the Spaniard This
number was hardly adequate to the exhibi
tion of Ills most moving skill , having much
about It of tccliulquo nnd formalism , but In
the lntor nutubirs ho was hoard to hotter
ndvantaco
Herr D'Albort took the third number ,
solos a. , Borcuuso op , 57 , Fr Utiopln ; c ,
Burcarollo , A. minor , A. Huhenstuin ; c ,
Valse , ' Mail loot nurolnmnl , " Strauss-Tau-
sfg The first commenced nlloirro agitate ,
like nn impatient nurse chiding n sleepless
infant , but ended in the lullaby moasilro
with which a tender mother trains her child
to hnppy dreams The Barcarolle was not
particularly interesting , nor yet the vnlso ,
though there were some racy transitions
in it
it.Tho
The fourth number , "Llobosfoo , " ( La foe
d'nmour ' , morconu enractonsquo ) J. Uaff ,
evinced to high advantugo the marvellous
technical acquirements ot the Spanish ar
tist At first a rapid allrgrotto movement ,
the sweetness of tone and the smoothness of
measure , wns a dear delight to the heart
Anon ho passes Into the droamicst nn-
dantlno , and wo gnzo and listen onrnpt with
tbo soul langungo of this poet ot musical
harmony Mme Marx , throughout , lent
soft accompaniment nt tbo graceful Inter

Herr D'Albort gave the fifth number
solos , a , Norwegian Urido Procession , " op '
10 , No 12 , Bd Grlog ; b. , Tarantella , "Vouo-
zla o Napoll , " Liszt The first was flllod
with refinement and poetic feel
ing , which oITects were lost , however ,
at times in the velocity of
tbo arpeggio with sporzanda movement
"La Tarantella , " a dance movement , was
bright and sparkling and flllod with broad
nnd.oxpresslvo phrasing
Herr D'Albort Is a perfect instrumentalist
and only lac\ts \ a llttlo offhandedness to
make him an approach to the Ideal , so well
cxcmpliliod in his illustrious confrere , the
Spanish virtuoso This was his last num
ber , but ho graciously responded to an en
core
core.Tho closing number Faust Fontaslo , "
Sara9ato , by Senor Sarasato , was a charm
ing melody of musical harmonics , now dar
ing and inspiring , now dreamy and langor-
ous ' "twus sad by fits , by starts 'twas
wild , " und moved us to the very tbroos of
feeling
At the conclusion of this number Senor
Sarasato bowed and relirod , aud the audi
ence , not mcovcrod from the spell of the
music , was slow in starting Senor Sara
sato rcapp'carud and rendered what must
have been an improvisation , a scherzo ot a
dance movement , so full of short and ox-
presslva phrases as to reveal the very soul
ot musical harmony
The whole effect of the concert was such
as was never before felt Id Omaha , and sol
dftm in America Seuor Sarasato's instru
ment was n , little faulty In the lower regis
ter and marred the bouuty of sumo passages ,
but did not materially affect his executions
Mine Bertho Marx and Mr Otto Gold
schmldt gave excellent nccompanlmont to
the renditions of the virtuoso
