ejiponses of the encampment and for the
entertainment of the Woman's Relict corps
dolegalos. The funds needed will not bo In
considerable from the fact that at least 1,000
delegates to the encampment are- expected
and that the women delegates will probably
number 450.
Crelirhton hall has been obtained for the
sessions of the encampment and the Young
Men's Christian association hall for those of
the Woman's Relief corps. The sessions will
" probably extend over two or three days. The
entertainment to bo provided has wet been
arranged yet , but will consist largely of camp
fires and receptions. The poet scout , Craw
ford , will bo In attendance.

of this city , Fort Omaha and South Omaha
are exerting themselves In securing homes

the- money needed td cover the expense of
this , the relief corps of Omaha have united
' i giving nn entertainment which Is to occur
nn next Tuesday evening. It will be > held in
th ? quarters of Grant post. In the Conti
nental block , which has donated their use

ceptional merit , the names of many promi
nent performers appearing : opposite the num

was all made , during the last six months
of the year. The day labor system was
inaugurated July i ana lor me remaining
six months of the year the cost was
9,124.42 , as compared with an expenditure
of $12,705.45 during the corresponding period
of the preceding year. '
The expenditures for street maintenance
were f25.793.25 , of which $18,769.84 was for
labor and $7,933.41 for material. Of this
amount $5.210.01 went for sidewalk repairs

AMUSEMENTS.
There has bcen.littlo to tempt the local
seeker after amusements la the bill of fare
set out during tho'jmk week by the theater * .
'
Ono houro has nBC'ftl Us lamps at all , the
other was dark hiliLj ie week and catered to
children , old nniltx ung , the rest of UIB
tlmo with a trl ( * I spectacle. The enjoy
able performance oj [ t'ho pupils of Mr. Frank
Lea Short's school of dramatic art
Is noticed elsewhere In this Is
sue. Altogether It has been a week of rest
for the public , anil , as a mixture of cause
and effect , for the dramitlc critics also.
The managers have had an anxious time of
It slnco the first cf the year. The telegraph
wires have been constantly warm with mes
sages , the burden of which was the changing
or cancellation of dates , and the air has
been heavy with the smoke and report of
bursting companies. Now la literally the
winter of the manager's discontent , but he
hopes and believes that there Is a more
genial season coming for him. The hope Is
shared by all lovers of theatrical amuse
ment ; the belief well , It Is hard to look on
the bright side of things In Omaha Just now ,
but the croakers are not having It all their
own way by any meains.
The significant lact remains that no
theatrical company has yet closed Its season
In Omaha. The unfortunates have either
ceased , to live before they reached us , In
which case we are certainly not to blame
for the catastrophe , or have yielded up the
ghost nt a safe enouRh distance on the other
sldo to relieve us of more than a remote
liability. And another feature of the case to
which this column' has often referred with
prldo Is that with a very few exceptions In *
attractions which could show any valid ex
cuse iur ueuiK , . ana wore wormy or tlic
patronage of eolf-roppectlng people , have had
llttlo cause to complain of the treatment they
have received nt our hands. Thsre are
"shows" no other word expresses their
quality BO concisely which go about taking
people's money , with , to be sure , a trine
more of legal warrant than a highway rob
ber , but which render very little more than
ho by way of quid pro quo. Many of them ,
wiser from sad experience , will shun Oniahp
In future , for Omaha's greater glory. Others
have the lesson still to learn. That the full
measure" of neglect will bo meted out to them
Is not to be doubted In the light of past
events. The people will not go to see such
things as half a dozen that could bo named
out of the lot that have tried It here this
season , nor such things as half n dozen oth
ers which are understood to be headed this
way. Managers will find this out after a
while , and the one who first makes up his
mind that there Is moro money In good
attractions than In poor , will not bo long
denied the reviving warmth of the sun of
prosperity In the happier coming season
above mentioned.
To the eyes of ono who stands In the foyer
and looks out over the theater audience of
the presont. It la apparent that the cartwheel
hat of baleful memory Is going , if nt alroidy
gone. There was i , tlmo , not so very long
ago , when women , wore head-coverings to the
theater of a ozoj ! nd4-shapo ID remind the be
holder of those porR ous tents or decorated
marquees , which , ihowover well suited to the
dimensions of a .parade ground , arc cribbed ,
coffined and conflncfHn the space of a single
theater chair. With one cf these canopies
before him , the , hqne t citizen who had pro
cured a at for an evening's entertainment
was practically joat Ictod In the range of
.his vision to the hat of another man's wife.
Aumit , ror tno WHO or argument , that Provl-
dencehad bestowed two or three extra cervi
cal vertebrae upon llilm , over and above
those commonly allotted to , mankind , so that
ho might aoe ovpr the obstruction ; but , oh ,
how few are so.genprpusly endowed !
All this would arjpe'dr to bo greatly changed
of late. ° Whatev&Vthe cause and the influ-
oncea r-ivo beeni tcosmany and too various
to bo hunted onfwlth profit It Is possible
at presonii'toJgo ' ' > : to he theaterjand < see what

tall elllc hat of oommeYce any more In their
swatsj-thoy never did to any'extent , but they
have given It up entirely''now. ' In response
to what soehis to1have been a popular ds-
mand ; and the headgwr even of women hav
been so cut off In magnitude , and 00 very
many women remove It In the theater , that
an evening before the footlights la robbed
of ono of Ito direst terrors. Possibly public
opinion does not yet warrant the belief that
a woman who wears a hat four feet In dlamo- '
tsr to the play and'-refuses to take It oft Isn
woman with a pant , but such a ono will not |
fall to inspire the belief In certain minds
that It has necdoj much rude buffeting with
fate to produce the callousness which she dl9
plays.
Omaha'o playhouses compare very favor
ably In point cf eleganca and convenience
with thoFe of any other city In or out o
Omaha's class. A recent visit to Kinsis
City revealed the , fact , which had piiupd
from the mind with'the growth of familiarity
with our own wejf ' appointed theaters , tha
the sister city has 'no place of amusomen
which la equal In either reaped to the Byd
or the Crolghton. Ono feature of entertain
ment at the Caatcs , however , reemed espe
cially agreeable and worthy of Imitation by
nil houses which aspire to metropolitan wayo
At that theater lato-comors are not permitted
to disturb those wha are enjoying a prologue
or fl't act , by crawling over them to their
places. The Inexorable physical law which
provides that the latest arrival always holds
a coupon for the seat furthest from the aisle
Is cheated of its worst consequences there
No ono Is permitted t go down the aisles
while the curtain is up. Those who are
tardy may toke unoccupied seats In the rear
or they may stand , until the end of ttie act
when the ushers resume their functions and
handle coupons once moro. This excellent
plan has been considered by local manage
ments. ' , but lias never been tried. Rigorously
carried out , It would add largely to the pleas
ure of play-going. ,

John Kernel ! has mst with the mo t fUt-
.erlng lucceia la his new farce comedy ,
Tbo Irth Alderman , " and It will be pre
sented * t the Crelgbton. commencing a fourr
night engagement , , witb a matinee today.
Of course there Is a plot to "Tho Irish Alder
man , " which , though not to deep that It re
quires a great deal of thinking \ sufficient
to pervo Its purpo e. The first act finds
Alderman McSneoncy In his private office
Indulging In a flirtation with Don , his type
writer. Louis Louis '
, McSweency'a confiden
tial seprctary. . Is madly In love with Iora
and objects , ta McSneoney sharing her affcc-
tlona In seeking revenge ho Informs the
alderman's Jealous wife , who pays him nn
unexpected visit at his ofllce , and Inotead
of finding a young and pretty typewriter ,
sees an old and tinly one , Dora having In
the meanwhile dlrinilscd herself.
Cor.ner Hob a is Alderman McSwcency's
boSDm friend ; ho is a Gorman and , llko
McSwecnoy. Is In politics and falls In lvo.
McSweeney and Iloba are both nominated as
candidates for mayor and the rivalry be
tween them Is very great. McSwcenoy on-
giges the eervlcei of Messrs. Tubs and Mud ,
two political heelers , who are ready to do
an > body or anything for a consideration. Ho
tolls his friends to vote early and rftcn and
proceeds to buy up all the votes in siht ) ; , ami
the result Is an overwhelming defoit for
Hoba and a great victory for McSwcenoy.
Complications are explained and all ends
happily.
The farce Is sprinkled with many special
ties , accompanied with catchy music.
Messrs. Sam and IMvo Marlon execute their
now dancing specialty. The Sisters Urllno ,
Phil and Nellie Peters In a new aiul original
sketch , and Ren Shield ? , are among the
company.
"The Rajah , " with Its wealth of sppclal
scenery and mechanical effects , Is the at
traction announced for Wednesday and Thurs
day ovcnlims of the present week at Boyd's
theater. Henry M. Pitt , who will bo pleas
antly remembered hero In the original pro
duction of the Madison Square oampany ,
heads the company In the title roll.
The story of the play Is as follows : The-
adopted daughter of 'Squlro Wyncot finds at
his death that she lu the solo heiress to the
estate. His nephew , Harold Wyncot , who. at
the tlmo of his uncle's death , Is sojourning
In India , is appointed as guardian , and Im
mediately returns to England , but the daugh
ter , Gladys , lias formed an unfavorable opin
ion of him , and decided to make things so
hard for him that bo would not remain.
With the help of two attorneys she causes
everything about the estate to bo In utter
confusion upon his arrival. Harold , who Is
known In India as "The Rajah , " seems to
be equal to tbe occasion , and soon quells a
m'nera' strike , which brings upon him the
enmity of the ringleader , Cralgln. Thle
ruffian succeeds in getting into the room
where Gladys is , and announces to her that
his object Is to kill Harold. At this point
Ghd > s suddenly becomes nwaro that she ! s In
love with Harold , and makes various offers
of bribes in. the way of money and Jewels ,
which are refused until at last a pass to
Havra Is promised. This Cralgln will accept
If written by "The Rajnh , " and he bo al
lowed to hide In the room , so that ho may
kill him If ho does not do as requested. "Tho
Rajah" Is called In , and soon the pass Is
written , but upon Harold's finding out that
Cralgln Is there ready to take his llto , he
takes the pass from Gladys , refusing to allow
It to be given to the villain.
May Irwln appears to have found the op
portunity of her stage career In "The Widow-
Jones. " The leading part In the p'ece , which
was written specially for her by John J.
McNally , author of "A Country Sport , " has
placed her very high up among the stars.
The attraction has unquestionably been ono
of the pronounced hits of the present season.
Tbo star , her supporting company , and her
now comedy , are all spckcn of In terms of
the highest praise. The local management
will open at the Crelghton In the near future.
"A Bachelor's Wife , " a comedy-drama ,
which will be presented by Daniel Sully at
the Crclghton for three nights , commencing
iThursday , January 23 , Is entirely new , having1
boon written"by Mr. Sully and the German
camedlan , Dan Mason : It abounds In vari
ous complications , both humorous and dra
matic , and deals with love and a touch of
villainy.
The scene Is laid In a fashionable boardIng -
Ing house In New York City. Rudolph
Bunger , a Gorman of means , engages him
self to Mrs ) . Belle Dashlnqton , a widow , and
the match Is broken off by Tom Ryan , a
practloil Joker , who charges Bunker with
being the father of an Infant which 1 left
on the doorsteps of the boarding house by
Its mother. Much fun enuues in consequence -
quenco of the storm raised by the widow at
the supposed perfidy of her lover. George
Farwcll. allia Walllnizford. is the villain of
the play , ani there Is also his deserted wire ,
Helen Farwell. who IB the mother of the
Infant which cauees so much trouble for in
nocent Bunger and the widow Dashlngton.
Bernard Ryan , a wealthy , big-hearted Irish
man , who Is also paying attention to Mrs.
Dashlngton , after making several bad blun-
deru concerning Bunger and ethers In the
piece , which add to the mirth of the per
formance , flivally gets upon the right track
and straightens out the difficulty with
which all are surrounded and brings the vil
lain to Justice , and all ends happily.
At Boyd's theater Friday and Saturday of
thla week Frederick Warde and his com
pany will play -an engagement of three per
formances , changing tbe bill at each and
presenting two classic romances and one
Shakespearean tragedy.
The appearances of Mr. Wardo In Omaha
In recent years have established him In the
estimation of the play going public of tbls
city au an earnest , scholarly and truly ad-
mlrablo actor , whose successful am
bition It Is to render his per
formances notable not only for the
excellence of the acting displayed , but
also for the beauty , historical accuracy and
magnificence of the surroundings In which
they are staged. Hlu production of "Henry
IV. , " as presented hero last year , was de
scribed In these columns as "worthy to be
classed , In Ha scenic Investltude and tho-
pcrfoctlon of Its ensemble , with the best of
Henry Irvlng's' stage pictures. " This soi-
on , It is claimed , oil/the playo In the reper
tory are staged with the same careful atten
tion to detail and lavish generosity that
characterized that production , and those DO-
Iccled for performances here certainly ullow
large opportunity for handsome scenic em
bellishment.
For Friday evening "Tho Mountebank" Is
announced. It. Is a drama which combines
romance , comedy , humor and pathw , and af
fords Mr. Warde a latitude for the display
of varied histrionic ability wider than that
given him In any other play. Ilia uces
In psrtraylng the unique character of Wil
liam Belphegor , the strolling mountebank ,
has been as great as that achieved by him
In 'any ' other role , and the play has proved
Ita populailty with the public by the hearty
reception accorded It throughout Mr. Wardo'a
"Tho Lion's Mouth" will bo given at the
matlueo Saturday. This picturesque story
of Venetian life In the sixteenth century
was most cordially received when produced
by Mr. Wardo hero two years ago. It Is n
Petlo drama based In Its leading incident ,
from which It tikes its name , upon the ute
made In Venice during the tlmo of the In
quisition of the mouth of tba lion carved In
the stone of the capltol as a receptacle for
the names of ipersona charged with treason.
It should bo in Oft attractive an a matlneo
offering.
At the final performance Saturday night
"Julius Caesar" will receive production , with
a strong cast. Mr. Wardo will enact Drutui ,
Mr , Charles D. Herman Catslus , and _ Mr.
Charles Button Mare Antony , while J.
Landers Stevens will appear as Caesar , Miss
Fanny Gillette as Portia and Mrs , Isabel
Waldron as Calphunla.
"Wang , " with AI Hart In the leading role ,
will be the attraction at Boyd's theater for
: hree nlgbta , commencing Sunday night , the
2Gth lust. "Wang" Is probably tbe greatest
popular success of any modern comic opera ,
and this will b ? the Uit opportunity Omaha
people will have of wltneiilng the piece , as
t will ba retired after this season , Tbe
opera has for the past three seasons bofn one
of the greatest money makers that over dt-
Igbted a lucky manager. The company con
sist * of sixty people- and carries Ita own err
cheetra. It alio carries every foot of thi
gorgeous scenery needed for the production ,
h : cost of tbls scenery being In the ntlgb-
borliood of $16,000 ,
The following are soma.of tb good tbng | *
which Ilojrd's theater will present the re
mainder or the present teason : "OlorUnn , "

the foregoing list comprises what are , per-
hap ? , the best of the attractions that art ) to
come to the Hoyd the rcmilnder of the pres
ent season , they form only a small proportion
tion of the whole list of bookings.

pany's former appearances In this city. Ono

Ing engagement are the Rossow Bros. , Mho

SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not Ic Alnrmcd , but Look for the
CIIUHC. _
Heart troubles , at least among Americans ,
are certainly increasing and while this maybe
bo largely due to the worry and excitement
of American business life , it Is more often
the result of weak stomachs , of poor diges
tion. , , ,
Heal , orgoJilc heart disease Is incurable ,
but not ono case in a hundred of heart
trouble"IB organic.
The close i elation between heart trouble
and poor digestion Is because both organs
are controlled by branches of the same great
nerves , the Sympathetic and 1'ncumogastric.
In another way , alsa , the heart If affected
by that form of poor digestion which causes
gas nnd fermentation from half digested
focd ; there Is a feelfng of oppression and
heaviness In the chest caused by pressure
of the distended stomach on the heart and
lungs , interfering with their actfbn ; hence
arlaeg palpltaiicn and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood ,
maltes It thin and watery , which Irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment ror Heart
troubles Is to improve tbo digestion and to
Insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can best be dene by the regular use ,
after meals , of some safe , pleasant and ef
fective digestive preparation , like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets , which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain val
uable , harmless digestive elements , in a
pleasant , convenient form.
It Is safe to any that the regular , per
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
maal time will cure any form of otomacli
trouble except cancer of the stomach.

most druggists at 50 cents or by mall from
