Members of thn Board of Education , both
Individually nnd nn a body , are being severely
criticised by the cltlzcnu of South Omaha
for their lavish expenditure of money. The
bnnkii IOIIK ago refused to carry any moro
school paper and the tcnchcm and janitors
liavo been compelled to do the Iwit they
could with the warrants Imucd to them.
Of all the nets of the board , the ono which
IH most criticised , was the payment of over
$1,700 for a hot water heating apparatus fnr
a four-room reliool house In Albright , The
building In n frnmn structure , ami IH declared
not to ba worth half the prlco paid for the
heater. During llio winter of 1835 the
board was conMnntly receiving complaints
that the utovcn then In ut > a would not half
heat thn four rooms , but nothing was done
at llio tlini ) to relieve the suffering of the
ptiplln. About the first part of the winter
an agent of a hot water hcnllng apparatus
appeared In thiJ city , and nil at once It wat
given out , that n contract had been awarded
for a heater that would heat the school
house ovim In the very coldest weather.
When It became generally known that the
Hoard of Education had entered Into a con
tract Involving an expenditure of : nearly

AMUSEMENTS ,

Farce comedy has not been tccclved lately
In Omnhn with .n very great degree of con
sideration , but from the en hurlnsm pro
voked nt the Crclghton yesterday by the
.inlrth-produdnK nffnlr entitled "Olrl
Wnnted" Ita \ apparently being restored to
favor. The thread of humor scarcely de
pends upon the plot of Ihc story , which U
not well denned , bur , on the contrary , Is
Ignored nnd rendered unnecessary by n ,
series of comical tltuntlona nnd side Hants
which chance v.llh Iho rnpldlly of the
kaleidoscope producing In &uccons-Ion n fccrlen
of attractions which nmuso nnd dcllcht.
Frank Hush's vcrrntlllty contributes to n
consldEwblo extent throughout "Girl
Wnnted , " While by no means a one man
show , Mr. Hush Illustrates his artistic use *
fulncsn by appearing In tovon distinct roles.
Ho chances from a rube of the Vermont
vintage to a Ocrmap lassie of the satim-
kraut variety with about the same degree
of faclllly thnt the average man mlcht ex-
hllllt In treating hlmiiclf lo Hie luxury o !
a shave. Hut aside from this Hie entire
company , an evenly balanced nggrcgntlon of
clover people , figure In a very entertaining
way throughout.
Farce comedy well Interspersed with good
songs , artistic dancing and a generous num
ber of graceful figures nnd pretty faces , finds
greater favor In Omaha than any other Kind.
These fenturcB of "Girl Wanted" arc ex
ceedingly prominent. Mabel Florence , Itn-
bcl Ward , Jcsslo Chnrron , Mnud Winston ,
Sndle Spencer , Ueatrlco Tate nnd Fern Al-
wnrd nrn the youilg women wbf contribute
with their fnee. itRurq nnd voice to a very
pleasing performance. The Dillon brothers

Hoyt'H dramatic efforts have never been
received with oilier ttian nn Indifferent de
gree of nttcntlon By Omnhn theater patrons.
With the possible' exception of "A Texas
Steer" and "A Trip to Chinatown , " his works
have never been p"atr6nlzed to any consider
able extent here.'Despite- ' fact , an en
thusiastic house { jrdotcd "A Milk Whlto
Klnu" at Eojd's las't night. This la Hoyt's
intest nnd was presented , for the first tlmo
In Omaha. It has lind jincnomcnal success
elsewhere. It Is prdnuunceil , Hoyt's best.
The ear mnrk > < j ( tl/o'author , are too nu
merous to permit''any one familiar with
Iloyt's work tc mistake the builder , though
It borders on the spectacular. However. U
differs materially from all other productions
of his pen In that forty people are reaulred
to complete the cat-t. The * staging of the
piece Is also much' more elaborate than any
thing previously attempted by Hoyt and
the costumes nro richer and moro elegant
In detail.
The feature , however , which probably Im
presses the average observer us the wildest
freak of the author's Imagination Is thnt
the mirth of "A Milk Whlto Flag" Is sup
posed to begin In n contest over n corpse by
rival undertakers. Many of the offensive
features of this part of the play , however ,
huvo benn obliterated ; still , there Is nothing
funny or artistic In this phnee.
That "A Milk Whlto Flng" contains much
( hat Is pleasing along with some things that
nro not so coed Is certain , however. Thla
could not be otherwise with the presence of
the old favorites , imch ns Frnnk Law-ton ,
John Mnrblc , Charles Stnnlcy , George Heanc ,
B. S. Wcntworth , Sallle Mncldern , Charles
Warren and Alllo Warner In the coat , to-
rothcr with several other clever artists.
The special features of "A Milk White

NBW YOIjK. Fcb , 2D. Wall struct having
fully perxuadcd Itself that all danger of reac
tion was over , the reaction hna come. It
hai been sharp and hag reached almost every
slock quoted on the Stock exchange.
A week ago It. was pointed out In the o
dispatches that however much U might ap
pear that the reaction crisis was past there
wag ntlll peed reason for apprehending that
the Petback which was overdue would be
uuro to come. The rank and flic of Wall
street trailer * have been caught , however ,
unprepared. They were pretty generally con
vinced that the market wan going to sweep
on upward without any recession whatcvc
for some time to come. Speculators wh
had accumulated paper profits on a prett
big wale got over conservatism and In th
early part of this week's renewed slrengl
plunged , The remit ha * been when th
reaction did arrlvo It did devastating wor
among thin class of accounts , t know on
man who on $100 margin In hand at Ne\
Year's was able by the pyramiding procesw
to round out over { 50,000 , having playei
Sugar trust flock on Its recent contlnuou
rises. Kvery penny of this accumulation ha
thlu week been extinguished. Today he ha
not even his original $100 margin loft. Thl
Is an example not by any mcins Isolated.
In the ernn hes of yesterday and In sue
reactions nt ) were continued today , however
there was evident buying by romc of th
most Important financial Interests In Wnl
Mrcet , Interest * which wore largely In at th
beginning of the recent bull movement , hu
who got out at figures lower than the top
They Eccm now to be disposed to get In again
through the opportunities which the quick de
cllnes at the end of tlie week have offered
Of couno there Is much division of sentl
ment In the street as to whether OP not the
reaction has upcnt ItH force. It 1 certain
that there Is moro nervousness on the Stocl
exchange now than for some time past , bu
then that Is not unnatural In view of th
rapidity with which the reaction developed.
DIG OPERATORS UUSY.
At present It looks ) as If few of the big
operators will try to yuplaln prices for some
time to come , tho&o who arc dlppoecd to buy
on the decline. ) being anxious to get stock
on the downward acalo and as cheaply as
they can.
There Iti no such feeling In the street now
as followed the historical Venezuelan mecenge
by President Cleveland. At the same time
the anxieties which do exist are rooted It
whnt Is being clone at , Washington and have
to do almost exclusively with the votes whlcl
accompany the Incendiary Inlk In congress
Whllo local traders have been alllng stocks
freely on the Cuban Incident , It Is noteworthy
that Europe throughout the weakness has
bc > 2ii a conspicuous buyer. While stocks
wcro weakest yesterday London bough1
heaviest. Its purchases were much more
clearly displayed than nt any time In months
One of the elements which will bo likely
to help along the development of the bul
market , If finally we are to have a bull mar-
ckt. Is llio fact that Europe has pretty wel
balled herself out of American securities
London nnd Paris , Berlin and Amsterdam
have all been Belling American stocks ever
Elnco 1803 at every opportunity which the
market has offered. Today It Is probably
true that Europejn traders arc really ohort
of twice as many American stocks as they
are carrying on the long side. They have
been educated to believe that the panic limps
of 1893 are bound BOOH to be repeated , amen
on this theory they have sold promiscuously
and In many cases alkogethcrreckloEHly.
'If now for any encouraging reason the
foreigners t/liould / be Induced to take favor
able views of the American situation nm
as a consequence begin to buy In considerable
quantities of our securities , the prompt result
la bound to bo that our market would be
given a tonlo assistance , which It has not
enjoyed for many a long day.
Wall street banking houses with close for
eign connections seem generally to be per
suaded that such a cheering condition of
thli gs Is quite within the range of possibility.
Some very Important firms Insist even that
the prospect of European purchases on a
large scale this spring Is moro than a pos
sibility a certainty.
Outside of Washington there Is nothing
new In the situation to alarm anybody.
Every reason which cheerful bulls have been
quoting for weeks past Is Just as forceful
now ns ever. Hallways arc < Increasing net
earrings. Operating economies are belns
continued. Dividend results have superseded
the deficit fashion. To Wall street this
means much , for In net profits Is after all
found the key to satisfactory stock market
conditions.
The commercial situation Is not what It
should he. Merchants are. still hampered by
the lack of accommodations which they de-
BOIVB. Manufacturers are being held up by
much the same sort of thing. But In every
department of trade and commcrco there
semis to be a growth In wholesome con
fidence , nnd In banking circles at last there
Is an Increasing expectation that the com
mercial atmosphere will BOOH , be quite clear.

Since January 1 there hns been n. fnllltlK
off In the receipts , ns compared with tha
coi responding period of 1&35 , amounting to
0,52. cntfc nnd 97.S5J IIORS.
CxVTTLl'Omaha had more cattle today
than either ChlcaKO or Kansas City and
nt the same time only 853 head were re
ceived. The cattle situation could be pum-
mcil up In n very few words about the
usual Snluidny's run and the usual Snlur-
daj's market.
Owing to the snow stoim It was rather
disagreeable In the yards nnd every one wns
ready to do business nnd get Ihrough with
It as soon ns possible. The buyers wanted
it few cnltlc and they were not lone In
making selections , paying about steady
prices. The most ot the fat steers on silo
were only fairish stuff , but there was ono
load good enough to bring $3.K ! ) .
llutchers' slock went nt nbaut yesterday's
prices , theie being no change In values of
any Importance. Everything was sold be
fore the close.
Stackers atid feeders brought fully steady
prices , and , while the offerings were alt
taken , the market , ns usual on the last day
of the week , was without feature of any
Importance.
HOGS The week clcscd with n fulr run of
IICKS , 3.J84 licnd bclnc riiwrtnl In , us against
3,641 jestenlny nnd 4,161 on Saturday of lost
\ \ e 'k.
Tininaiktt did not show nny material clmnse.
Tlio first bldi were , If anything , n little easier ,
but the market practically opened at fully
steady prices. If nn > thing. It was stroiic ; thnt
In , It was n lltlle ens cr to Ret the price than ,
yesterday. The dcmnnd was better nnd tlio
liuyerH took hold anil liouKlit nioi-e freely. Tin
pens were practically ilearetl In Rood pe.ison. At
Ihc close the feeling was weak , owing to the re
ports from other market * .
The IIOB market of the past week lias been
at the lowest point of the month. At the open
ing of the week hogs wild on thli market lamely
at J3.SOfi3.90. but It broke l > jilly on Tuesday R'J
ami Wnln'tilny , reco\eieil some of the decllno
nn Thursday , but went back uRnln on Friday.
On tha last ) twn ilay of tile week the IICRS fold
largely nt I3.G5W3.70 , which was the lowest point
touched since January 1C.
The demand has been Rood nil the week for
light hops , which have commanded n premium
o\or heavy weight * . WK heay hog * have not
sold so freely nnd on * ornc days it has not been
overly easy to u buyer for all theie were here.
Still , the jnrils have lx > en kept pretty welt
cleared nnd hogs ha\e Mid freely on most Oa >
at the current prices.
8IIEKI * The demand was good , though the mir-
ket la lower than a week ago-
