Something i : n tlrel- Now , llnrd'H , May 1O mid 1 1. Tableaux Phantasma comes hero under the personal supervision of Prof. John W. Sher man , a man known from the Atlantic to the Pacific for the last twenty-five years. They come hero complete , as produced In Chicago , where they had a run of twenty-five nights. s Ho has given them In all the largo cities of the cast with Immense success ; also In San Francisco , where he gave 123 presentations. The phantasma are groupings In one. con tinuous pageant biblical , historical , mytho logical and humorous. The groups appear and disappear with the rapidity of thought. The manner In which living people dissolve through ono another is startling and beauti ful. The entertainment is one that will ap peal to the refinement and culture of the community. To pro luce this performance Mr. Sherman will bo assisted by fifty of our young bud. , our crack military company , base ball team nnd a lawn tennis club. Some of the best musical talent of the city will alsc participate. Mr. Sherman brings with him two carloads of scenery and apparatus , which will bo placed the coming week. Rehearsals arc under way.

Of the many philanthropic enterprises of Omaha women the establishment of these drinking fountains Is the newest and , In many ways , the pluckiest , nnd , moreover , It premises to be a boon to the poor of the city. city.Mrs. Mrs. Lewis , president of the Central union of Kansas City , writes : "I think you have a plucky set of women to under take such an enterprise , " and continues : "Your scheme of raising money Is certainly unique and practical. " The enterprise Is this : The Woman's Christian Temperance union has bought fifteen automatic penny- In-the-slot drinking fountains , with the ex clusive right of operating them In Council HlufTs and Douglas county. Having se cured from our generous city council the privilege of setting up the fountains the women set about getting the necessary $1,000 to pny for them. Tho. peculiar finan cial embarrassment which prevails led the organization to dcvlso some way of raising the money aaldo from the usual popular subscription paper. Finally a plan was evolved ; the money should bo borrowed but where ? Cash loans without ample secur ity nro scarce nnd fluctuating , and as an organization the Woman's Christian Tem perance union has absolutely nothing to back Its honor. And then another fertile brain brought out a bright thought , and It was decided to nsk loans , of $5 nnd upwards at S per cent Interest , giving ns security a legal note running ono year and signed by the president and secretary of the union. This plan worked like a charm , and be tween February 12 and April 1 this ener- getlo liand of women had borrowed } 305 , a sum sulllclcnt to complete present payments , and $37.50 had been donated to the fund by well wishing friends. Mr. Carl Smith of the World-Herald , through his lecture , added $22.75 moro for the fountains. They are now In the city , and we take this opportunity to publicly thank each one who by helpful co-operation with the Woman's Christian Temperance union , In giving and doing , has made the accomplish ment of our desire possible. From the Income of the fountains we pro pose paying our entire obligations. The fountains will be In place as BOOH ns the wcnthcr becomes settled. In the mean time wo arc negotiating for privileges In certain public buildings. As wo have been Invited by Mr. Ober to place one In the Young Men's Christian association building that will bo our first base of operations Call there to see the cunning llttlo fellow In side the machine deal out the cherry phos phate. The mechanism of this machine Is per fect for Its purpose. Nothing but n piece of metal exactly the size , weight nnd Hhnpo of a penny will suffice. U cannot be operated by a wire or any other device. II honestly gives full measure , but resolute ) : declines all artifices and attempts to coa > another drop from It. The base of the fountain Is of cast Iron and the body of enameled sheet stee mounted upon n wooden stand. The rcser volr holds fifteen gallons of liquid. A bo will attend each fountain to change nickel Into pennies nnd to cleanse the glass afte each Individual la served. The fact that this means of refrcshmcn Is becoming popular Impresses us , asv hear of the fountains across the Atlanti nnd In our largo cities here. The prcsldcn of the Chicago Central Woman's Chrlsllai Temperance union writes iw : "Wo hav- - for two years operated these fountains here and we expect to run 100 moro this Bum mcr. " Speaking with Chief Iledell In reference erenco to these fountains In Chicago , li talks enthusiastically of their patronage am the satisfaction given ns a public bcnefac lion. lion.The The Kansas City union writes , througl Us secretary , that Us twclvo fountains ar paid for and It considers them a flno ir vestment and a great temperance work. Lincoln lias albo tried the fountain an found It a great success. Investing la moi for the coining summer. In closing wo bespeak your patronage nr a > sure you that \\e mean to please U public. 13.

STA1E TENNIS ORGANIZATION Strong Iteprcqoiitiulim of ClnlH Location of the TournuiiicnU. Grand Island will entertain the lawn ten nis players of Nebraska July 16 to 18 and Lincoln will show her enthusiasm for the game June 10 , 11 and 12. The doubles cham pionship will bo competed for at Grand Is land and the singles at Lincoln. Tills was decided at a very enthusiastic meeting of representatives of eight or nine clubs In different parts of the state held at the rooms of the Commercial club in Lincoln last night. The Omaha club was represented by O. E. Haverstlck and W. Byles ; C. H. Young held a proxy for the Young Men's Christian Club of Omaha ; S. L. Gelsthardt and W. Shepherd represented the Lincoln club and Prof. Ward was present to see what was done and report to the Lincoln State University club ; O. A. Abbott was present from Grand Island and A. E. Gullmette from Hastings. Mr. Havcrstick also held a proxy from Ord , and Wllber sent a communication to the effect that they wished to enter the association. It was hoped also that the Shrlner Lawn Tennis club of Omaha would become a member of the association. The meeting was free and easy , but the object for which It was called together was accomplished .It was decided to form a state association and a set of officers was elected. Sir. S. L. Gelsthardt was chosen as president by acclamation and Mr. W. Byles for secretary and treasurer. These two , with Gullmetto of Hastings , K. A. Gary of Wllber and Abbott of Grand Island , will form the executive association. Any club In good standing may become a member of the asso ciation upon the approval of the executive committee and the payment of $1 for the annual dues , but It was agreed that any club which failed to send at least one representa tive to the state tournament for two years In succession should forfeit membership , The question of the location of the state tournaments then came up and Grand Island put forward a request for the doubles. It was decided that the management of the tour nament must be entirely In the hands of the local club , with whom all responsibility for Its success would rest. Grand Island WM ready to undertake the burden and the con sent of the meeting was given for the doubles to bo played In that city , with the under standing that the university club of Lincoln would help them out. The Lincoln clut promised to make a success of the single ! competition and It will be a feature of Ou university commencement week. The one Idea which prevailed throughout the meeting was to make the game populai throughout the state , and It was with this object In- view that Grand Island , where tin sport is beginning to make headway , am Lincoln , where It Is showing signs of re newed life , were selected for the champion ship competitions. After the business wag disposed of thi members of the Lincoln club treated theli visitors to a. nice luncheon In the rooms o the Commercial club. e Ladles' shirt waists to order. 1911 Farnam vuit Omaha Guards ! The name opens a store house full of blttcret thoughts bitter for the loss of the fine-young fellows who once answered at rolli ell I , and whose lines lie alas ! In other , let us hope pleasant , places ; sweet , for the manly , genial band who compose the present-roster. The adage , "there's luck In odd number * , " Is verified In the tucctsstof this company , It being the third attempt at citizen soldiery In the city. The ( other two the Omaha light Infantry , and the Edward Crelghlon Guards , dying In their Infancy , the Omaha Guards having passed their seventh birthday. "May they live long .and prosper I" Of the original members , few remain to tell the tale. Not of early struggles for ex istence , but of the generosity of the citizens. Appreciating the need of such an organiza tion , they responded nobly to an appeal for funds , making possible the otherwise Impos sible , since the state refusal aid to these would-bo "Sons of Mars. " 'TIs a well known fact that a uniform Is dear to the feminine heart , and Oiiaha's daughters do not differ In this respect from their sisters. Almost from th ? first nsscm bly call the actlvo brains and deft fingers of married ladles and young girls were busy with schemes for aiding the "soldier boys , " which efforts resulted In their possessing the handsomest stand of colors that have been unfurled at any encampment they have attended , and dress uniforms , which are their Joy and pride. Who In Omaha at that time does not remember the glories of the Bazaar ? Its gorgeous decorations , handsome booths , pretty girls , the grace- with which the crowds submitted to be fleeced , and the fas cinations of the Razzle Dazzle ! With a deep sense of appreciation for th ? ladles' kindness , together with their native gallantry , the guards have at all times been more than ready to respond to any call n'ade upon them for "snct charity , " or whatever it pleased the ladles to suggest. Since Us Inception the > company has had three captains. Captain Scharff , now of the Thurston Rifles , Captain Baintord of the regular army ( who , by the way , Is the fourth ex-member who has won his shouldr knots ) , and Captain Mulford , the present commander. They have entered six competi tive drills , and their flag bears but one black rlbbcn. Wherever duty or pleasure has called them they have berne themselves as soldiers and gentlemen , and left a record for which their city need not blush. Another proud possession Is their galling gun , the only Ilko piece of ordnanc ? In the "Nebraska National Guard. " With this death-dealing Instrument , a detachment under - dor command of Captain Mulford leaves for Memphis to strive for new honors. It Is Indeed a goodly sight to see these athletic young warriors ( handsome , too ) , go through the very Intricate and difficult maneuvers , and surely no one could see them without wishing they might bring homo a lue ribbon , and breathing for Uum a fer- ent "God speed. " ANNABELLE POPE MULFORD. THURSTON RIFLES. After the political campaign of 1892 had ecome a memory of the past nnd the various : lubs had disbanded , the famous Zouave flambeau club of the Fifth ward decided to etaln Its organization. The Idea of becoming n state mllltla com- tany and the difficulty of obtaining n suitable rmory In which to drill were the principal ibstacles which were gradually overcome and m September 13 , 1803 , a reorganization was ccompllshed and named "Thurston Rifles , " n honor of Omaha's worthy representative In congress , Senator John M. Thurston. Arthur I. Scharff , whose ability asa military com- tiander Is well known , was made captain nd through his efforts the rifles have at- alned a high mark of proficiency In military iclence. The company moved from North Twentieth treet to their present armory on Harney treat and the rnnltc became strengthened vlth able bodied men who are Imbued with a love for patriotism and ready to uphold * he law and maintain the dignity of the state ivhen called. William J. Foye was made first lieutenant and J. II. Johnson second "leutenant. On the 18th of December , with military pomp and splendor , the Thurston Rifles were mustered Into the Nebraska national guard and became soldiers of the state for a psrloa three years. The company made Its first appearnce In public at the First Baptist church on the evening of February 22 , 1894 , ' .he occasion being the , celebration pf Wash- ngtonl birthday by the cltfzcns of Omaha. On the Sunday evening following the com pany accepted an Invitation from Rev. S. "Yrlght Butler of the St. Mary's Avenue ihurch to attend "services In honor of the 'father of his country. " Rev. S. Wright Butler was afterward unanimously elected chaplain of the Thurston Rifles. On the evening of May 28 the company became prominent In the minds of the public , the occasion being their flag presentation. The great Coliseum was packed to Its utmost capacity by friends who witnessed their pdesentatlon of a beautiful specimen of "Old lory , " by their lady friends , and bearing the nscrlptlon. "Thurston Rifles , Omaha , Neb. , Organized September 13 , 1893. " Two days later the handsome silk flag was unfurled In the May breezes of Memorial day , when the company headed the procession to Hanscom park with ninety men In their ranks. They began drilling at once and on July 4 , 1894 , the Thurstons were victorious in their first compatitivo drill , their rivals being the Omaha Guards , who until then were consid ered the crack military company of the state. It was a great victory for the Rifles and while but eight months old , the Idea of de feating a company ssven years their senior and ono that had become famous was a source of much Jubilant feeling for the RIRes. The Rifles again caino before the public during the labor trouble at South Omaha last August and were highly praised for services rendered. Being the largest , as well as the best drilled , company they were stationed In the most dangerous places. After the strike the Klflles went to the encampment of the Nebraska national guard at Lincoln , the principal event of which was the competitive drill for the governor's challenge cup. There were to bs regular army officers as Judges and the cup was to be awarded by their decision. The drill of the Rifles could not be equaled and Instead of receiving the trophy , which was ) won fair and square , they received the decision of the Judges , which was framed and hung In the vestibule of the armory. Previous to the 4th of July contest Lieuten ant Johnson was obliged to resign as chlel of the second platoon on account of business and Mr. J. Hayward was elected to succeed him. Musical talent Is not lacking , the company quartet being composed of Wallace , Cover- dale , Richards and Huffman and Is one of the best In the city. An instrumental club Is being organized , afl' follows : Banjos , Rich ards , Thompson , Connell and Ong ; mando lins , Coverdale and Vincent ; guitars , Claud Stockham , McCullogh , Hackenberg and Hun- gate. gate.At present the company Is devoting al of Us time and energy In preparing for th < Memphis contest. Tha work Is being dom systematically and Inca most soldierly man ner , which will Insure success when th < company takes the field. Continuing the precedent of last year , ar rangemsnts have -been made for a gram militay tournament at the Coliseum on Frl day night , May 3. The principal featuri will ba the annual competitive drill betweei the four companies forming the Omaha Hlgl School Battalion of Cailets , Interspersed will drills by the veterans of ' 65 , Knights o Pythias uniformed rank , Omaha Guards Gat ling gun corps , the Rifles' Memphis drll team and an Individual competitive drll between the member * of the Rifles for th Thurston trophy , a handsome gold meda presented to the company by Hon. John M Thurston. The company has every reason to fee gratified with Its short history , and If energ ; and perseverance have anything to do will Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S.

A. 1'enn ns mili tary Instructor , at present consists of about ISO members. The staff of officers has been the Bamo through the whole year , Mr. Col- petzer being cadet adjutant , Mr. Sheldon quartermaster , Mr. Word Clark ecrgent major and Mr. Crou quartermaster sergeant. The very creditable condition of the four com panies Is largely duo to the captains , Mr. Hnlpli Conncll , Mr. George Purvis , Mr. Samuel Hums , Jr. , and Mr. Albjrt Egbert.

A small flfo and drum corps was or ganized this spring under Corporal Wertle True as drum major , but was , discontinued on account of several drummers leaving school. It Is , however , to be reorginlzed next fall. During the winter the cadets drilled Indoors , and short talks on military subjects were given by Lieutenant I'emi. As soon as the weather permitted , outside drills were again held. A greater Interest Is given these by the fact that the annual competition drill will be held on the evening of May 3 at the Coliseum. Whichever company excells In dress , nppfarance and military elllclency \ \ \ \ \ have the honor of carrying the standard for the following year. A silk flag Is to be pre sented them early In May. The rifles , which have been so long wanted , stem no nearer being procured than ever , but It Is to be hoped that the next congress will consider tha question favorably , and In that case guns and other equipments will bo furnished during the next year. The cadets will take part In the Decoration day exercises , and on the same day the orders announcing the officers for the following year will probably bo pub lished.
