The members of the Hoard of Park com
missioners are gradually getting everything
Into such shape that work can be commenced
Upon the Southwest boulevard between
llanscom and Hlvervlew parks as soon as
the contracts arc let. It Is predicted that
earth will bo Ilylng on the parkway In a
few weeks.
If the matter were allowed to run the
usual course It might be several months be
fore any grading could be done. According
to law , for example , the city could not
Bccure possession of the land that has been
condemned for the boulevard until It Is pre
pared to pay over to the owners of the
condemned land the amounts of money
awarded them by the appraisers. This money
could not lie paid , of course , until the taxes
that have been levied Tor the boulevard
were paid In. Inasmuch as the tax docs not
become duo for a couple of weeks , and will
not bo delinquent for several weeks after
that , It might bo several months before the
city could get possession of the land If these
Jegal requirements were complied with.
In order to overcome this difficulty the
$
members of the Park commission have been
3 busied In securing waivers of the prepay
ment of damages. They have 'been ' successful
in this find It Is said that waivers have been
obtained from the majority of the property
ownona whoso land l taken. Among these
who have filed sueh waivers are George T.
Mills , Q. A. and Arthur Remington , Harry
T , McCormlck and Lyman Richardson , eonio
of the heaviest property owners along the
proposed boulevard. These and many other
property owners have agreed to accept , In
llou of cash , warrants that will draw 7 per
cent Interest and will remain outstanding
until the boulevard tax Is collected.
The ordinance declaring the necessity of
appropriating land for the other end of the
boulevard , that which Is to extend from
Hanscom park to Twenty-sixth and Burt
streets , and appointing appraisers to deter
mine damages , hns been Introduced In the
council ! i ml will not be held up longer than
a week In all probability. It Is expected that
the measure will too passed next Tuesday
night and that appraisers will be appointed
by the mayor Immediately afterward.

"In my eighteen years of experience with
theaters , " said Manager Burgess of the
Boyd yesterday , "I never before saw
people wait In line twenty-four hours to
get tickets for a play. People started in to
wait in line at 9 o'clock Friday morning and
the sale did not begin until Saturday morn-
Ing. When I left nt 10 o'clock Friday night
there were 114 people waiting , who stayed
there an night.
" .Mr. Mansfield was simply delighted. Ho
said It was simply an ovation. It certainly
broke the record , both for him and for the
house. Never before did the house sell that
way at such prices , and never did Mansfield
fill a house of this slzo at the prices asked.
It never happened in New York , Chicago or
anywhere else. "
The management of the Boyd says that
tj 2,500 ls _ a very close 'estimate of the number
the house held. Over 200 extra seats were
& ' provided by placing chairs at every conven
ient point , Including the space In the orches
tra pit. While 'tho receipts for the night
have not been given out the amount is
known to be over $3,000.
Speculation In seats for the performance
was rife , although the house did all that was
possible to check it. The usual limit of ten
seats to one person was cut down to six and
there wore no seatn laid asldo for any who
failed to come in person and buy. But by
employing several agents the speculators
were able < o get hold of a number of Beats
each. Three commanded a high premium
Tuesday afternoon , two seats Belling a short
time before the rising of the curtain for $14.
But a number of the speculators were
caught on some of their seats by holding
thorn too long. Men who were offered $4
for Beats Just aa the curtain was rising
would not take it and after the first act had
been played were glad to get $1 each for
seats which had cost them $2.50.
Mr. Mansfield has promised to
bring to Omaha some new play next year.
Although ho realized that part of the suc
cess of the occasion wan duo to Admiral
Schley and was disposed to accord him all
credit , yet he feels very kindly toward this
city.

TALK OF EXCURSION RATES

The talk circulating In a number of west
ern cities about extraordinary Fourth of
July celebrations has led to further talk
nbout Fourth of July tales and guesses are
being made on to whether the railroads will
grant any particularly low rates this year.
The usual rate Is ono nnd one-third faro
within distances of 200 miles , but It hns been
suggested that this year on account of the
war and the presence In the country of n
largo number of war heroes that the cele
brations would be moro pretentious and that
the rates should bo proportionately lower.
As yet thn railroad officials arc not saying
very much nbout the matter , but they arc
doubtless considering It. They have before
them the proposition of the western associa
tion for the usual rate , nnd this will prob
ably be ncccpted. The numerous pence Jubi
lees that have already been held have tended
to prevent any extensive plans for the cele
bration of the Fourth.

HEARD ABOUT TOWN.
C. E. Llewellyn , one of the exposition
commissioners , has Just returned from New
Orleans , which ho visited In the Interests
of exposition concessionaires.
"While I was on this southern trip I was
much impressed at the good feeling that is
being displayed by southerners toward the
north , " says Mr. Llewellyn. "All bitter
feeling seems to have been eradicated by
the Spanish war. 1 saw an old confederate
veteran meet an Iowa volunteer Just return
ing from Cuba. Ho rushed up to the Iowa
boy , grasped him by the hand nnd ex
claimed : 'God bless you. I want to shake
your hand because you are wearing the
blue. ' i
"The same sentiment Is displayed In va
rious ways. For example at one of the big
pleasure resorts of Now Orleans , known
as the West End , the band regularly plays
'Yankee Doodle' and 'Dixie , ' and the airs
are received with enthusiasm. "

OR , RA1NEY UNDER ARREST
Is Charged with Larceny by Bailes and
Embezzlement.
COMPLAINT FILED BY CHARLES W , FRISBIE
Trouhle Arlnen Over I'urchnup of
Greater America ConurNnloiiit , for
Which Frlnltle Ailvnnccn .Money
llnliicy to Ho HrotiKht Ilnck.
A well known doctor who occupied the
much sought after position of house phy
sician of one of the leading hotels Is under
arrest In Chicago on the charge of larceny
by bailee and embezzlement. Charles W.
Frlsblo of Kentucky being the complainant.
Dr. James M. Halncy , who has had an ofllco
In the Uamgo building for several mouths ,
Is the alleged offender. The amount which
ho Is said to have taken Is $1,100.
According to Mr. Frlsble's story ho met
Ilalney at the hotel where both were stay-
Ing. They became pretty well acquainted
and Ualney succeeded In Interesting Frlsblo
In some concessions which might bo acquired
at the Greater America Exposition , which
he claimed were worth a mint of money.
The concessions were the offlclal
guide and one for the ealo of cigars. It
was estimated by Ilalney that these could
be secured for $2,200. He was willing to
put up half If Frlsblo would furnish the
remainder. Thinking the proposition a
good one , Frlsblo advanced him the money
In several sums between January 7 and
25. Ho observed that the conceselon for the
olficlal guide was awarded to Halncy on
May 10 , but heard nothing from him con
cerning It. Ho finally come over from
Denlson , la. , where he was staying tem
porarily , to see what had become of Ualney.
A visit to the superintendent of concessions
revealed the fact that while Ilalney had
secured the concession for the guide at a
ccet of $800 , the contract had not been
drawn , and no money had been paid , Not
being able to locate Ilalney , Frlsblo visited
Attorney Estello and consulted him In re
gard to what action he should take. Mr.
Estello learned that Ilalnoy left the city
last Saturday night and that nothing had
been heard from htm since. He advised
Frlsblo to have Ralnoy arrested , and acting
In hjs behalf , filed a complaint with the
county attorney. This complaint alleged
the appropriation of two checks for $100
and $1DO respectively , given him on or be
fore January 25. Chief White was given
the warrant , with a description of Rainey ,
and succeeded In locating him In Chicago ,
and tiad him arrested. Captain D. W. Her
left for Chicago Tuesday night to get his
man , Rainey having agreed to return with
out n requisition. Ho is expected hero
Thursday mornlnri.
Ratnoy Is described as a man about 32
years of age , a good dresser and of pleasing
appearance. Frleble is a Kentucklan with
plenty of cash , a portion of which ho
promises to devote to making Rainey per
spire for his action.
SOUTH OMAHA NEWS.
In accordance with Instructions Issued by
the city council City Clerk Carpenter will ,
In a few days , advertise for 'bids ' for the
repairing of the pavement on Twenty-fourth
( street from A to Q. The city engineer Is
to Inspect the street In order to ascertain
Just about how much work needs to bo
done so that the expense can ibe estimated.
The cost of these repairs will have to foe
berne by either the city or the property
owners , aa the guarantee given by the pav
ing company expired last September. No at
tention will be paid to the damage done
to the pavement by the Omaha Gas com
pany when it laid Its mains down the east
side of the street , as by the terms of the
franchise granted the company it must re
place the pavement torn up. It is under
stood that the company has already let a
contract for the repairing of the surface
damaged by the digging of trenches so that
the engineer will not take any cognizance
of this when making his estimates of the
amount of repaying to be done.
Ono question 'which will considerably in
terest the people and also the members of
the city council is where the money Is to
come from to make the repairs. As the
original tax levied against the property for
the payment of the paving has been declared
Illegal by the district court , it Is thought
by some that it would bo useless to attempt
to compel the owners of abutting property
to pay for the needed repairs. This ques
tion of repairing paved streets has never
been brought before the city council In this
light before , ae guarantees are held on al
most all of the paving at the present time.
The streets on which guarantees have not
expired are , with the exception of Twenty-
fourth , In good repair ,
Ono or two of the city officials , who are
famallar with the city charter , assert that
there Is no provision whatever in the char
ter for the taxing of repairs of paved streets
up against the abutting property. If this
Is true the city at large will be compelled to
pay for the work , Just what fund the money
Is to como out of Is one of the questions
which will have to be solved by the finance
committee of the council. At the present
time both the street repair fund and the
general fund are low , and warrants for
this work cannot be drawn on either until
they are replenished by the next annual
levy ,

John Dolzoll , an employe of the Omaha
Packing company , was severely If not fatally
Injured In the west railroad yards shortly
after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. As no
one saw the accident it Is not known just
how It happened , but from the location of
his body it Is inferred that Dolzell at
tempted to Jump onto a moving engine and
fell under the wheels of a refrigerator car ,
When picked up It was found that the wheels
had crushed both legs below the knco , In
addition to these Injuries , Dolzell was se
verely Injured In the abdomen. The switch
engine had gone up to Cudahy's to pick
up a refrigerator car and was backing down
when , it is thought , Dolzell attempted to
climb on to the front footboard. Heavy shoe
prints on the soft ground alongside' the
track show where the man had jumped ,
Blood was found on the front truck of the
refrigerator car and , ns no marks were on
the engtno wheels , It is surmised that the
accident occurred In this way ,
It was the Intention of the railroad offi
cials to take Dolzell to the South Omaha
hospital and the operating room was or
dered prepared , but shortly after these ar
rangements had been made tha father of
Dolzell appeared and ho Insisted that his son
be taken to his home , at Twenty-second and
W streets , and this was done. Judging from
the Injuries it is not thought that Dolzell
can recover. He Is a young man about 18
years of ago and has been employed about
the packing houses for some time ,
Another I'M inHrlrlc lliilldliiK ,
H. J. Abraham of Omaha was In the city
yesterday afternoon , looking after hU prop
erty Interests , and ho stated that ho In
tended erecting a tine brick building on the
vacant lot lust north of the fire hall , on
Twenty-fourth street. This lot Is 36x150
feet and construction Is to commence as
soon as the details can be worked out.
In connection with this structure Mr.
Abraham stated that , If desired , he would
erect a labor temple for the use of the
various unions in the city. At the present
time about a dozen unions are In existence
hen , and it is stated that they are all in
a flourishing condition. These unions meet
at the different halls about the city , but
Ji a no beadauarters which can riehtly bo
termed A labor temple. It Is Mr. Abraham's
Intention to communicate with the different
organizations and make a proposition for
the erection of a hall to be used exclusively
by labor unions.
Should these unions accept the proposition
Mr. Abraham will build the hall to suit the
tenants and arrange the Interior as desired.
The building Is to bo modern In every re
spect and will have a handsome front. The
locality Is considered first-class for a labor
temple and an effort will be made at once
to secure the Ideas of the different unions
in regard to the matter.

to commence work in about ton days. At
the present tlmo his grading outfit Is engaged -
gaged on another job , and ns soon as this
Is completed , the Twenty-third street work
will be begun. H Is estimated that 55,000
cubic yards of dirt will have to bo moved
In order to ulaco the street at the estab
lished grade. A petition Is now being cir
culated for the filling of Twenty-second
street , from O to Q , the expectation being
that the dirt removed from Twenty-third

second will bo a great Improvement to the
property In that section of the city.

Ittner "brickyard " Thirty-first and Lake
streets , yesterday he struck a hard sub
stance which on examination proved to be
a largo bone. The proprietor , Horace Ittner ,
carried It at once to Rev. Jacob Flook ,
pastor of the Hillside Congregational
church , living near 'by , who pronounced It a
very fine specimen of a molar tooth of the
dlnotherlum glganteum , an extinct animal of
the proboscidean order of mammals , and al
lied to the elephant of today , only much
larger.
It is probably the largest land animal that
over existed. The specimen was found forty
feet below the surface of the ground , In clay ,
and Is In a very fine state of preservation ,
The crown of the tooth measures two
Inches , having three transverse ridges , the
depth between being one and an eighth
inches.
The tooth , with a email portion of thu
Jaw attached , weighs two pounds and two
and a half ounces. The remains of the dlno
therlum glganteum , as far as U known , have
never been found in America. A caet will
be made of the tooth and photographs will
be taken. It will be given to a museum ,

INITIATION IN THE CLOUDS
Scheme on Toot to Confer Degrees Way Up
on Pike's Peak ,
*
PROMINENT MASON PROPOSES THE PLAN
AV , WrllliiKtnn Secure * n Spe
cial niKiieimatloii for the Work
IntcrentliiR and Xovcl In the
IJxtrctue ,
ELLSWORTH. Kan. , May SO. ( Special
Correspondence. ) Masons In the west , es
pecially these of the higher degress , have
doUbttres heard of the scheme whi"h has for
Its purpose the conferring of the degrees
of the Council of Royal Select Masters on
the top of Pike's peak. In this little city
In western Kansas lives the man who has
undertaken to carry out this unique plan ,
which will copy after the alleged customs
of early Masonry. Ho Is Edward W. Wel
lington , a Massachusetts man , n graduate
of Harvard , but a resident of Kansas ( or
over twenty years.
U Is said that every man has a fad to
which ho devotes his leisure moments. With
Mr. Wellington It Is that part of Masonry
represented in the council degrees. This
docs not mean that ho la not an enthusi
ast upon all branches of Masonry. The
council degrees ho considers the most beau
tiful and most Impressive In the work of
that ancient order , and ho feels they are
too often neglected ns not a material part
of the historical work. To remedy this
defect he has sot out to create new Interest
in the council , and the project for conferring
the degrees on the summit of Pike's peak
Is one of the steps he has adopted In his
general plan.
Mr. Wellington Is thrice Illustrious master
of the council at Ellsworth , and Is the grand
principal conductor of the work in the grand
council of Kansas. He Is a man of con
siderable means , of limitless energy , and ho
pursues a project under circumstances which
would cause a majority of others to throw
up in despair. This Is the spirit which has
characterized his efforts to make his ex
emplification of Masonry above the clouds
n success , and while his original Idea waste
to make the event an outing for Kansas
Masons , It has grown until It has become a
national affair in 'Masonic ' circles , nnd ho
has received Invitations from all over the
country for permission to Join his pilgrim
age.
Dlnpcnnntlon fraiicd.
Mr. Wellington has received from the
proper officers of the general grand lodge
and of the grand lodges of Kansas and
Colorado a dispensation for the conferring
of these degrees in the manner he has se
lected. For the time being the whole coun
try Is to ho under his Jurisdiction , these
receiving the degrees to afterword become
members of the council nearest to their
place of residence. Applications from 300
Royal Arch 'Masons ' have been received to
take these degrees under the novel circum
stances , and It Is believed the number will
> be Increased to over 1,000 before the time for
the pilgrimage arrives. Each candidate will
bo required to pay $10 for the degrees , and
under the dispensation granted Mr. Welling
ton ( or rather Ellsworth council , of which
ho is Just now the official representative )
this money will go into a fund to defray
the expenses Incurred in the undertaking.
Ono week will bo spent in Colorado. The.
visitors win rendezvous at Colorado Springs
on Monday morning , August 7. From there
they will visit Cripple Creek , Glonwood
Springs , Leadvllle , Manltou , Pike's Peak and
other points of interest In Colorado , wind
ing up at Denver. Candidates who can
stand the Journey will bo obligated on Plko's
Peak , while others will take the obligation
in the Garden of the Gods or in the Cave
of the Winds. The work of the degrees will
bo exemplified In the Tabor opera house
later In the week.
A feature of the work , In Imitation of the
three grand masters of the order In ancient
times , will bo the depositing In the snow
capped summit of Pike's Peak certain treas
ures sacred to the craft. The ceremony will
be similar to that at the laying of a corner
stone , except there will be no building. Upon
this spot a triangular tablet will bo erected
as a memorial that there the sacred obliga
tion of speculative Masonry had been Im
posed , In a lodge room carpeted with snow
and Ice , hung with tapestry of clouds nnd
with the representatives o/ the three great
lights of Masonry literally Illuminating the
altar. The name of each craftsman and
candidate present will bo Included In the
deposit.
Dt-Kree AVorlc nit n. IJrnnm.
While all this work will possess absorb
ing Interest to Masons , the beautiful and
elaborate portion of the ceremonies will ho
reserved to Denver , where the degrees will
bo exemplified in the Tabor opera house.
For this occasion Mr. Wellington is ar
ranging to put the degree work upon the
stage In the manner of a drama , In three
acts , one act for each degree. The dramatis
personae for each act will Include fifty people
ple fui'ly robed for the work. These are all
from Kansas , and each Is known for the
excellence of his work in the particular part
which ho will bo called upon to take. The
perfection of detail for this part of the
work has been carried to that extent that
an orchestra made up entirely of Masons
of the council degree will furnish the music ,
of which there is a great deal in the council
ceremonies when properly onducted.
To make ready for the work of Initiation
after reaching the objective point In Colorado
rado , It will "bo " necessary to have many
committees to supervise the many details
which come up. The principal one of these
will bo a committee to examine the candi
dates who present themselves for Initiation
that they may bo Judged as proper per
sons to receive the degrees. This commit
tee will bo compeojd of twenty-four mem
bers. They are all from the western states ,
mostly from Kansas , Colorado and Wyo
ming , but John J. Mercer of Omaha Is on the
committee as the representative of
Nebraska.
( A series of entertainments will bo pre
pared for the .Masons , their wives and
friend1) . At Colorado Springs there will bo
a theater party and a reception to Colorado
rado Masons , at Manltou the visitors will be
entertained by one of the largo mineral
water establishments , where there will bo
music and refreshments ; nt Glcnwood
Springs the local Masons will provldo en
tertainment , the exact character of which
has not yet been announced ; at Denver
there will bo a matinee performance at
Elltch's garden. All of these will bo free
to the Masons and their friends. At Den
ver , also , there will be a banquet to the
general grand officers of the council , and to
other prominent Masons who may be pres
ent. The attendance at this function will
be by Invitation as there Is no place In
Denver which could accommodate at a ban
quet table the number of Masons who will
bo In the city at that time. At the tlmo of
the banquet there will foe other entertain
ment provided for these who are not gath
ered around the festal board.
KcyHtonp of Md
The degrees of royal master and select
master , the eighth and ninth In the Ameri
can adaptation of the York rite , and which
comprise the cryptic rite of Freemasonry ,
with the nppendant or honorary degree of
super-excellent master , furnish the keystone
which binds together the symbolic arch of
anclbnt craft Masonry ,
The degrees of the cryptic rite are usually
conferred in a council of royal and select
mast era , under the control of some grand
council , or of the general grand couuncll ,
and hero is their logical and nearly univer
sal home. Some questions of jurisdiction
over these degrees have arisen in the pant ,
which have caused them to bo neglected.

It makes no difference where you buy the CAPADURA Cigar.
They arc all alike. So long as you make sure that the pouch is intact you
are sure that you will find inside a perfect , fresh , delicate smoke.
The most critical smokers in Chicago are smoking them to-day. They do
not understand how such a cigar could be made and sold for five cents , but
they are satisfied with the cigar , and agree that it is far better than most
cigars that cost two or three times as much.
It is for sale at all cigar dealers' .

NEGLECT A USEFUL ARTICLE LIKE
This unsettled condition , coupled with the
fact that the growing order of Knights
Templar , the popularly recognized end of
the so-called higher degrees of the Ameri
can Jiranch of Freemasonry , failed to make
'
the 'possession of the cryptic rite n pre
requisite , has served to keep the cryptic
rite In the background and to retard Us
natural growth. The rlto hns had to depend -
pend for its increase upon ( tie enthusiastic
praise of those who have wandered Into the
crypt and beheld its beauties.
Any Royal Arch Mason in good standing
Is eligible to receive the cryptic degrees at
the meeting on Pike's Peak. All members
of the Masonic fraternity may tnko part
In the pilgrimage , but no one except Cryptic
Masons , or candidates , will bo entitled to
the speclnl entertainments designed for the
craft. Mr. AVolllngton , as father of the
movement , expects there will ho enough
candidates to take tlio degrees to provide
eufTlclent fees to pay nil the expanses In
curred , but If ho should bo disappointed In
this direction , ho Is prepared to personally
make up the deficiency. Ho Is now nt work
getting out 20,000 Invitations and particu
lars of the pilgrimage , which will bo mailed
within the next week to Mai-ons ej-ery- I
where , asking them to participate In this
special dispensation meeting of the Ells
worth council.
Fine Mtixonlo Hull.
As showing something else In the direction
of Mr. Wellington's zeal for the wclfnro of
Masonry In general , It may bo said that
Ellsworth lifts the llnest Mn&onlc hall In the
west , not even excepting Omaha. Ho built
a 'brick block specially -with a view to fur
nish n home for the local Masonic bodies ,
every branch of the order being rcprcsrnled
he.ro from the Blue lodge to the command-
cry. After completing the building ho di
rected the furnlbhlng of the lodge room. The
furnishings are on the old colonial style.
The chairs at the station points are ( Mon
strous hlgh-backwl pieces of furniture , up
holstered In leather , of Mr. Wellington s
own design. The carpet is n red Wilton , I
nnd the furniture is of mahogany finish. At j
each of the stntlons there Is an arch fin
ished In white and gold. There Is n loft
for an orchestra or choir as they are needed ,
as Mr. Wellington Is an enthusiast on thn j
subject of music In the secret work , and
under hla direction the lodges hero have
secured a good choir made up of Masons.
All the furniture used In the degree work U
on an elaborate scale , and as near the an
cient Masonic Ideal as cqn be made. For the
ascension eccrio In the Templar work ho paid
over $300 , and It Is said to bo one of the
finest In the United States , For all the j
officers engaged In the work of the various !
degrees ho has purchased robes , appropriate
to the character they represent , nnd his
own robe as thrice Illustrious master of
the Ellsworth council cost $125 , whllo those
of his two assistants coat $7S each. Mr.
Wellington now contemplates putting In a
small pipe organ , and a piano , after which
he promises to quit spending money for
Masonry ,
In connection with the lodge rooms proper
there la a large dining room to be used on
state occasions , with a convenient kitchen.
There Is also a comfortable smoking room ,
In which a library will be installed when
the room Is finally complete. The homo
of Masonry in Ellsworth is the pride of
every member of the order hero , and to
Imitate It In the future Is the- hope of every
Mason in Kansas ,
