Ashlnger , who had been doing llttlo work
during the night , let out n link or two
Khertlv after U o'clock , and sot the pace for
his opponents. Ho was tenth man at that
tlmo. but by steady effort may beat Moore ,
who then led by ten miles
All the riders were making a very slow
luce , evidently husbanding their strength
for later In the day. Halo nnd Ulcu were
going nn olght-mllo gait. The Irishman's
condition t eenied vnutly better than that of
his noarivt rival , who wny still over thirty
miles behind , and evinced no disposition to
narrow the gap ,
Kloveu of the contestants vvero ahead of

Halo shows signs of breaking up and
there Is no doubt that another twenty-

la a stranger here , but comes to the coast

Omaha theater Rocrs have not been par
tlcularly well cntertalncil during the pa it
week by anything they found provided for
them In the way of legitimate theatrical
amusement. The Society circus probably
Interfered ftomeuhat with the attendance
( it the theaters proper , though not to the
same extent as last > car , when It practically
ruined Louis James' buslnos.s and seriously
Impaired that of Joe Ott. Whether the
circus cut Into anything sulllclciitly to earn
n consltlcrablo sum for charity may be
doubted , for the expenses arc paid to have
been heavy , and the patronase wns dis
appointing. The grave mistake v\ni made
In this case of sending out a ridiculous
and trUIal parade upon the streets , which
mlvortlseil local business houses , possibly to
their advantage , and went far to conflrm
the suspicions of the public that the circus
Itself was nothing tnoro ngr leas than a
lingo fake. The people of Omaha are
fairly charitable , but they do not love to
be Imposed upon ; and the parade undoubt
edly kept many away from the first perform
ance. These who allowed their benevolence
to triumph over their fears found the nhow
a meritorious one ; and these told others ,
and the- papers were uniformly kind , and
the attendance picked up a good deal after
the- first night. Hut on the whole It may
be doubted whether this enterprise , con
ducted on a generous scale by the Knights
of Ak-Snr-Hen , resulted In affording and
very substantial aid to the charities of the
city.
Aside from the llrownles , which arc a
disappointment In some wais , hut are giv
ing pretty good satisfaction on the whole ,
and the Godowsky concert , which would
seem to have thoroughly pleased a good
sized audience of music-lovers on Tucs
day evening , there has been nothing worth
noticing or patronizing at the theaters
IMdlo I'oy , who claims to bo a favorite in
Chicago , has taken The lice's ndvlcc , offered
on the occasion of Ills appearance last sea
son with "The Strange Adventures of Mis *
llrown. " to get "OK the Karth" again. If
ho will accept a further word of counsel
from the same source , and get off the earth
entirely ho will do cverjbody a service. He
was aluaja coarse and never funny , but
lie has become positively noisome , and he
cumbers the stage to no good end. The
lively little person who headed his com-
piny last week , did her best to make
Omaha chappies forget golden-haired Sadie
McDonald , who died untimely the other
day In Australia , and while she did not
wholly siicceul. she at least left a more
aKroeablc Impression than any of her asso
ciates In "Off the Knrth " To have had two
such dreadful visitations as "Town Topics"
end "Off the Earth" In one wcel : Is more
than Omaha lias deserved , and managers
should endeavor more conscientiously to
make the city's punishment fit her crimes
The Improvement which has been noted
of lain In the manner and matter of the
Crelghton theater program suggests an In
quiry as to the purpose of theater programs
In general. In older civilizations they arc
celled , "bills of the play , " or simply "piny
bills ; " hero and almost universally through
out the west they are spoken of as programs.
vVlthnut going Into the vexed question of
nomenclature- and without venturing an
opinion as to whether the western term
should bo pronounced program or "pro-
Krum , " as the manner of some Is , It maybe
bo safely assumed that the prime object of
these phamphlets Is to apprize audiences of
the name of the play , and also of that of
the manager , assistant manager , trcasiner ,
press agent , electrician , stage manager , car
penter , head usher and property man , and
furthermore to set forth , for the benefit
of Hiicli BJ need Information , the cast of
characters , and perhaps the tory of the
play. IJesldc these fundamentals. It la cus-
lomary to occupy as many pagra as possible
with advertising matter ; whereby the ex
penses of publication arc In n measure de
frayed , and to fill In the Interstices with
Items of news and comment , more or less
pertinent to the stage , in which those who
for any cause do not enjoy the entr-acte
music nor appreciate the conversation of
their neighbors , can find a certain amount
if solace. This feature has been greatly
amplified In the Crelghton program under Its
present management , and much of Its mh-
ccll.ineous matter Is Interesting and appro
priate. If the publisher , however will take a
suggestion from an older journal , which Is
very favorably Inclined toward the stage
and Its appurtenances , he will endeavor to
avoid the vein of exuberant enthusiasm
and to curb his tendency to personalities
Merely as an example of what Is meant ,
and not because It Is better or worse thin
other samples , the following gem Is culled
from one of the programs of last week
"Our friend Hell , of the Grand , at Salt
Lake writes ' .Miss Marie Vallen , our leadIng -
Ing lady Is a beauty. She made an In-
-tantaneous hit. If It's beauty you want.
Dell. Omaha can flnd you more leading
ladles to the square mlle than any city
In the union. If jou don't bcllcvo It , ask
Spud. Ho knows"
Now , one looks for that sort of thing
In theIlungtown Ilnzoo , but scarcely ex
pects It In a metropolitan theater program
An Improvement In this regard will add
value to a publication which Is In other
respects a credit to Omaha enterprise.

South Omaha News
Sluco the questions of dividing the First
ward and building a city hall Irive been
brought up there seems to bo more talk
than ever In favor of annexation. Many of
the heavy taxpayers favor the scheme , ns
the levy In Omaha last year was much lower
than the ono made by the city council of
South Omaha. "It Is likely , " said a leading
taxpayer , "that If the annexation question
were voted upon next April It would carry
by a largo majority On a valintlon of $1-
CS4.000 the city Is Indebted $307.000 , ex
clusive of $260.000 district bonds , which the
city has guaranleed nnd must look after
the payment of. Tills Is a very heavy debt
for a city of this sbe to be .carry Ing , and
the only relief from continued heavy taxa
tion seems to be In annexation.
"liven with the levy of GO mills , which wns
made last summer , the city will run be
hind before the end of the fiscal year , nnd
nn overlap will have to bo met nnd pild ojit
of the next levy. Judgments to 'the ' amount
of $12.000 or $15.000 have accumulated , and
are unpaid nnd at present are drawing In
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. While
the $2CO,000 district bonds , which were Is
sued to pay for grading , paving , sewers , etc. ,
Is not counted in when reckoning the city's
debt , yet It might as well be , for the tax
payers at largo will bo held responsible In
case the owners of property In thcso dis
tricts , fall to pay their portion. Adding
the amount ofthese district bonds to the
Indebtedness of the city , It makes a total
Indebtedness of $507,000. "
Council Hylnnd , who Is a member of the
committee appointed to Investigate the mat
ter of dividing the First ward , said yester
day that ho had looked into the matter n
little , and as far as his Investigations had
gone , he did not see the necessity for adding
the additional expense to the city at this
time It would mean an expense of at least
$1.000 a year to divide the ward as prayed
for In the petition presented to the coun
cil , and ho could not see the need of having
two inoro councllmen. Ho was Inclined to
favor Councilman Caldwell's plan of taking
off Iho Second precinct of tlio First waid
and adding it to the Fourth ward. Hy doing
that the number of votes In the city would
bo oquall/od , and thcro would bo no addi
tional expense.
