BELLSTEDT'S ' MUSIC IS A HIT New Band , nt Greater Amerioi Exposition 0&tche8 the Popular Fancy , INITIAL CONCERT IS A GREAT SUCCESS Iinnirnne Croirrt I * Knrlinnteil by the ExouUlfc Munlc Mimlcnl Ilcpnrt- incnt I'rnvcn n ttrenl IVntnrc Knrcucll to ( io'iltrcy. Every reserved teat on the Plaza of the exposition was seized with avidity last night , the occasion being the departure ot the British band , which , under Lieutenant God frey's masterly guidance , has pleased people tot some weeks , end the Introduction of Doll- stcdt's Concert band , which \a \ now the star attraction. Ueforo passlnc on the merits of the new organization It Is but right to say a few words ancnt the band which has lust closed an encasement of six weeks. Lieutenant Godfrey , .tho orlclnal Dan Godfrey , Is the most remarkable bandmaster on Ameri can soil today. No one bandmaster has had Ills triumphs , his honors nnd his experi ence. No ono bandmaster Uvlne has con tributed such a diversified catalogue of music to the literature ot banddora. Let this bo * ald without disparagement ot any of our own bandmasters. It Is hli right. Ho has won bis laurels and none can wrest them from Ms brow. In Omaha Mr. Godfrey has made many friends , fHcnds whose decline for him Is more than sentiment , and moro than tem porary. cMany there were , of course , who could not understand his reserved manner nnd l ls absolute freedom from oil of those tricks and platform pyrotechnics which seem necessary to some. These persons , however , nrc In the 'minority ' , and ovcryono respected the veteran conductor , whoso musicianship Displayed Itself In every pleco of work pre sented by his band. For wealth ct tone- color , beauty ot finish and perfection of style , Godfrey's .band will long bo remem bered. The crlsodo of last evenlnir , when the Tcd-conteJ musicians came on the stage and stood to salute , at attention , whllo Bell- stedt erected them with "God Save the Queen , " was one to bo remembered , and the ovation which the tremendous audlenco gave to the bandsmen nnd then later to Lieutenant Godfrey when ho crossed the stage was flatterlnc Indeed. It was the spontaneous outburst ot affectionate hearts , In honor of those who had entertained EO well. The American people may bo slow to appreciate nt first , but ( to USD a slang though pertinent pharse ) they "get there. " Entrance ot New Conductor. When Herman Dellstedt lifted hla baton over his band of artists , numbering forty- lx men on the stage , he was closely watched by on nudlcnco which fllled the seat space , the standing room behind the scats , and every available foot of ground on the Plaza , extending aa far back as the viaduct , be tween the restaurants. Curlcslty Boon give plnco to Interest , Interest grew Into enthusi asm , and' enthusiasm developed Into an ex citement BO Intense that the strain was un bearable and the usually stole audience burst forth Into thunders of applause aa number followed number on the carefully prepared program. When the conductor laid down his baton Omaha was his. As a con ductor , Dellstedt proved that he rend score at rehearsals and was not disposed to leave anything to luck at the performance. His players , therefore , showed a flno security , nnd ample confidence in the great leader. He has a band ot magnificent strength In every 'section. His reeds have never been equaled in Omaha concert history. | Ils trasses word nJl that could be'deslred. and not a few of national reputation are to bo seen In the charmed circle. As stated In the musical column of The Bee some weeks ago , the BellHtcdt Concert band Is a great Wagner band. This waa clearly exemplified by the manner In which the Lohengrin music was given. Such aforzando effects ! Such de licious planlsslmos ! Such fearful climaxes ! Such a band will do much to popularize tbo great master of 'the ' music-drama , the father of Balreuth. In lighter vein , Mr. Bcllstcdt Is humorous , catchy and legitimate. His popular sketches are effected by ingenious netting and original instrumentation , rather than by any foolish chicanery. The fact that ho can thus change from the- tragic to the trivial Is In Itself a sign positive of his versatility. But that la not aH. As a cornet soloist It Is to bo doubted whether Bellstedt has a peer. Technique , combined with soulfulnses , Is ra'ro In the virtuoso of the instrument. He has the happy combination. The band has made Itself felt , and will do more to draw people to the great ebow than nny other attraction at present , for there Is a subtle element of magnetism which makes it Impossible for ono to leave the music , fearing that ho will mlffl something good. This band will play in the Auditorium every afternoon this week , and the Plaza will ho the pfuco ot music in the evening. Concerts will begin promptly nt 7 o'clock and will lost one hour and a half. On Friday evening the concert will be given on the "Olympla. " SCKMSS Al.O.Vfi TUB MIIMVAV. anil KoiiiulH from tlic Tlior- niiKlifnrr of I'lennurr.

This organization Is well and widely known and cornea with the highest encomiums from press and Individuals. The young men ore on a western tour nnd will have one date at the exposition the latter part of the month. The fact that one of the members of the quartet Is a Nebraska boy will doubtless add interest to the engagement. Mr. R. R.

WILL OPEN ANOTHER STREET Council Accept * n PropoNltlnn ( or MnUliiK 'Mlnnil ' Street Full AVI < I tli. When the counclf came together In general committee Monday afternoon It found iti hands full pf tne subject of street opening , which has been such a prolific ono In city affairs for years. There was presented to the council n. proposition tor the.opening of Miami street near Twentieth to Its full width by the dedication to the useof th city of a strip of ground 30x370 feet , the owner In exchange to 'bo granted a cancel lation of city taxes amounting to about $338. City Attorney Connell was against the plan , because It set a bad precedent and be cause It made the city bear the expense of opening : the street , whereas If the opening were made by n lagol appropriation of prop erty the expense would be assessed against the property owners 'benefited , He did not believe that the matter was ono of concern to the city at large. The council finally voted to accept the offer , as It was generally believed that the same ground could not be purchased for lets than twlco the amount of the taxes to be canceled. 'A ' somewhat similar proposition was re ceived regarding the widening of Twenty- seventh street from Lake to Miami. A mo- tlottfwas made to accept both this proposi tion and the one above mentioned , but Mount , who was in the chair , divided the motion. Nothing definite was done In re gard to the second proposition. A resolution directing the comptroller to purchase for the use of the inspector of weights and measures a now set of standard liquid bulk measures brought to light a difference between the Inspector and the Standard Oil company. The Inspector had found the company's measures short about two ounces to the gallon , but the com- pahy claimed that Its measures were cor rect and that tboso of the- inspector , on ac count of their ago and worn condition , were Inaccurate. The resolution was referred to n committee with Instructions that the measures now used by the Inspector be tested. The Adams & Kelley company was granted a permit to erect a wooden shed within the flre limits. The application of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for permission to use the assembly room on the fifth floor of the city hall Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon and evening was denied for the reason that there would bo no elevator service at those times. lliicUlcu'H Am lull Salve.

PROPOSE TO FIGHT AGAINST RETURN Sny They Do Sat Know Why They Arc t'mler ' ArrrM , tin It In Simply n Cnao of ICIniicntrnt Hone on Chief White' * Onlcm. SPRINGFIELD , Mo. , Aug. 14. ( Special Telegram. ) Bert Campbell and Gertie Kcl- ley , who eloped from Omaha , occupied separate cells In the south sldo police sta tion lost night. They were arrested here as they stepped from n southbound train. Chief White had tclcgraped the local pollco to bo on the lookout for the runaway couple. ! Miss Kelley pawed a sleepless night. She was hysterical and at times It appeared that i medical aid would bo required. Campbell was Inclined tn be more calm , but ho cen sured the pollco for not allowing Miss Kelley - ley the freedom of the corridors. " 1 can not understand why we were arrested , " said Cnmpbell to a reporter , "for wo have com mitted no crime ; It Is simply n case ot clopomcnt. Miss Kelley has never boon married and I am a widower. 1 was form erly a street car conductor In Omaha. " Chief White telegraphed this morning that nn Omaha officer was on the way to take charge of the couple. Chief White also ordered the pollco to hold Campbell's trunk. Campbell has retained nn attorney nnd says ho will not return to Omaha until he Is forced to do so. Miss Kelley Is a bright-eyed little woman In her early twenties. She is stylishly dressed. Campbell has a brother residing in Springfield , The prisoners spurn the city's menu nnd have porterhouse steaks , etc. , sent In to them. Thl I * Another Vcrnlon. The pollco were notified Monday morning of the arrest nt Springfield , Mo. , of Gertlo Kelly and Burt Cnmpbell , wanted here on the charge of larceny , and not for elopement as stated in the above dispatch. The of fense which the couple Is said to have com mitted Is the theft of $45 nnd several articles of wearing apparel. The Kelly woman form erly lived with R. Dolan , a trakeman for the Union Pacific railroad , as his wife. Their homo was at 1309 South Fifth street. Friday morning when Dolan left town on his usual run ho left $45 with which to pay household expenses for the following week. Instead of using the- money for this purpose the Kelly woman converted it to her own use. But this Is the smallest of the charges against her. In the house- two rooms were rented to lodgers. Their names are Lena Repcnsky and Hattlo Strectwelser. The young women owned a number of stylish dresses and a valuable trunk. These Miss Kelly bad use for and during the ab sence of the owners the trunk was pacjjed with the dresses , together with her posses sions nnd removed from the house. Satur day afternoon the Kelly woman and Burt Campbell , a former street car conductor with whom she had been on very friendly terms , left town on the Burlington railroad. The young women who lodged In the housa were first to discover the departure of the pair , but they took no action until Dolan re turned from his trip. After a consultation the trio decided to prosecute the Kelly woman and Campbell , If they could bo caught , so the police were asked to look them up. Chief White located the pair in Springfield and had the authorities there place them under arrest. Campbell as serted that they had committed no crime , but had simply eloped. His story did not save them from Incarceration , and It Dolan will appear against Campbell and Miss Kelly Detectives Hcltfeldt and Donohuo , who worked up the case , will be sent to bring them back. PAY HOMAGE TO THE KING Many Citizens TnUc Oath of Allegi ance to Ak-Snr-Hcn the Fifth. Two hundred and sixty-five , wayfarers lined up before tbo grand mufti Monday night. They had Journeyed from far nnd near and had stopped at the castle ot Ak- Sar-Ben V to seek rest and knowledge. Whllo they tarried they secured the knowl edge , tout rest with them was out of the question , as they were on the move from the time of striking the floor until the lights went out , and they were placed In cabs and sent to their homes or boarding places. The committee having the work of securing candidates made a great effort to break n record and came close to do- inj ; It. It was the biggest night of the season and 'With the candidates brought In last night there are more than 800 members - bers on the rolls , all In good standing. Now the committees will begin hustling , the In tention being to push the membership up to 1,200 and then stop. There was an extra feature on the pro gram. Soon after the guards had examined the outer nnd Inner doors , looking for In terlopers , the Bellstedt band that opened an engagement nt tbo exposition appeared , and during the evening rendered several selec tions , which delighted and pleased tbo knights. In fact the band took the gathering by storm and the members wore applauded long and loud. Before leaving Manager Bnllenberg was called upon for a speech nnd responded briefly , thanking the knights for the honor conferred upon him and the members of the organization , all of whom were knighted before leaving the castlo. 'Among the distinguished guests who bc- came followers of iAk-Sar-Ben V were Hon. C. F. Steclo of Jefferson county and C. A. Warner , a prominent farmer and stock raiser of Fillmore county. Both of the gentlemen declared that they bad a plcae- nnt evening and found the entertainment worth many times the price of admission. To the credit of the machinery and vari ous devices for making pleasant tbo trip At the candidates , everything worked well. There was not a slip In any of the Instru ments of torture. The goat was In bis element , and the way that ho tossed his riders was a caution. The electric railway that apparently runs through space made lightning tlmo In conveying passengers from station to station , while the fountain threw streams that have never before been equaled , as many of the new members can testify. MEETING OF POLICE BOARD I'ntrnlmiin Oshorn IN Siinicinlc l for .Sixty DIIJ'K on the Cninplnlnt of Market At a meeting of the Fire and Police commission held Monday night Patrolman Ogborn was suspended for sixty days with out pay on account of disobedience ot the general orders of his chief and for nslng unnecessary violence with a citizen , Sam nnd Isador Sommers preferred the charges against the officer , stating that he ordered them to take some vegetables from a nlde- walk near Eleventh and Howard streets and upon their expostulating with him he struck and choked them and used abusive language toward them. Several wltntEses were examined who saw the occurance.

J < , ' + & , & & + A & A ( E > - < > ft < t > 1 At last night' * meeting of the Board ot Education Superintendent Wolfe read to the board some advance sheets of his annual report and the fact that the superintendent Is bitterly opposed to the selection of J. A. Beck as principal of the High school was brought prominently to the attention ot the board. While Mr. Beck's name was not mentioned , the Inference was plain. The su perintendent started out by saying that ho would need a largo number of books nnd Other supplies and ho would llko to have these hero by September 1. High school needs were then mentioned nnd the superin tendent stated that since the management of the High school had been taken out of his hands ho wished to withdraw hla request , which had been granted at a previous meeting , for $ SOO worth ot apparatus and supplies of various kinds which ho had Intended installing in the High school , with a view to improving this grade. It will bo remembered that the board authorized the purchase of ton micro scopes and flvo typewriters , along with laboratory supplies. This appropriation was made nt the request of the superintendent and his withdrawal of it was quite a sur prise -to some of the members. Mr. Brennan stated that ho did not under stand what Dr. Wolfe meant when ho now requested that the board rescind Its action in regard to these oupplles. In reply to this Superintendent Wolfe eald that under the exletlng circumstances h'e did not care to be responsible for -the conduct of the High school. The request for supptlea , ho added , had been made under different circumstances. Now he does not feel that the prospects of the school -arc as bright ns before the last meeting of the board nnd ho docs not now wish to bo placed In the attitude of asking for this appropriation. Ilynn Enter * Objection. Member Ryan did not take the superin tendent's remarks kindly and stated that he understood the board was supposed to be working for the Interests of the people and the children of South Omaha. The board had elected Dr. Wolfe superintendent nnd naturally looked to him to conduct the schools to the best Interests of the public. If the board had made an error , said Mr. Ryan , In the appointment of certain teach ers , ho favored ousting them and selecting others. He did not think that the taxpay ers would hold Dr. Wolfe responsible , but rather the members of the board. Further , If the board had made a mistake In the selec tion of teacehrs he considered that the mem bers had Inte/llgenco enough to rectify the error. The board declined to rescind Its order for the appropriation already voted. In connection with the erection of a new school building in the Seond ward , the board received an invitation from Lewis & Kitchen to eeud a committee of three -to - Kansas City to investigate the operations of a blower system of warming and ventilat ing school rooms. It was essertcd that with this new system the air In school rooms can bo completely changed In twelve minutes. It waa decided to accept the Invitation and President Roberts named Messrs. Ryan , Brcnnnn and Wyman ns tbo committee. It Is understood that Architect Klewltwill nlso accompany the committee. The trip is to bo without cost to tbo board. The South Omaha Land company , through Its assistant secretary , Alfred C. Kennedy , declined to donate two lots In the Fourth ward for a school building. An effort was made some time ago to have the board erect a two-room school house west of the Bur lington tracks and the assertion was made that the land company would donate two lots for this purpose. The scheme Is now knocked in the head by the refusal of the land com pany to glvo the lots for school purposes. Contract for School Sent * . An hour or moro was taken up by the board In awarding tbo contract for supplying 800 , imoro or leas , school seats. Only two bids -vvero presented. Ono was from the Omaha School Supply company , offering to deliver the deals In South Omaha , and the other was from J. S , Stott , quoting rates on seats , free on board In Chicago. The ques tion of freight rates naturally came up and a recces was taken In order to allow a com- mltteo to figure out the differences In prices. This committee reported In favor of SWtt's bid and the contract will bo so awarded , Mies Rebecca Gohon , ono of the teachers , wrote from Canton , B. D. , asking for a Icuvn of abfiteioo until after the holidays on account of the Illness of her mother and the request - wasgranted. . The board then elected Miss Agnes Olson of Omaha to act aa nubstltute teacher. A resolution was adopted requesting J , G.

Ailvniicc In llnllilltiR Mntorlnl. On August 1 lumber was advanced | 1 a thousand feet at the mills , 'but up to the present tlmo the local market has not been materially affected by the advance. Ono lumber dealer said yesterday that later on I the advance would affect this market. In other words , when the stock oo hand Is exhausted - j ' i hausted nnd new purchases made the local j ' prlco will have to go up. Hardware has ad- vonced about 40 per cent nnd plUmbcra' sup plies arc way out of eight. In splto ot the high prices buildings continue to be erected here. Small houses are going up all over i the city and quite a number ot very com- ' modloue nnd desirable dwellings are pro jected. It IB understood that the Schlltz Brewing company proposes to erect two more brick buildings In the business part of j the city this 'fall. One of those buildings > will 'be located on Twenty-fourth street and the other on N street.

In speaking of live stock conditions In that section Mr. Morlarlty Eald that the range was In line condition and cattle never looked j better. In fact the herds In the Wind river country wcro so fat nnd sleek that they greatly resembled corn-fed animals. Shipments from this section will bo late this yenr , as ranchmen propose to allow their herds to harden before shipping to market. Democratic I'rlmnrlcM Tluirnclny. Democratic primaries will be held Thurs day to select delegates to the judicial con vention nnd considerable Interest Is being manifested In the outcome here. It Is reported that the factions In the democratic ranks are fighting among themselves and that harmony Is an unknown article at tbo pres ent time.
