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. "

Cora Beckwlth , the renowned swimmer ,
opened her engagement on the Midway SUnday -
day night to a good business. ( Her exhibi
tion of swimming was a revelation to all
who saw her. One of the amusing parts of
4he show 'Is < tbo mystic stairway ut the
entrance. This causes a. great deal of fun ,
as any ono who can walk up the stairs Is
allowed to go In free. Ono woman got ns
far SB the top step and was forced to glvo It
up , much to the amusement of those- watchIng -
Ing her.
The chair In the Congress of Beauties
which represents Franco has been vacant for
some time , as the fair Frenchwoman has

the places on the Midway that never lacks
for sightseers.
The children are much Interested In the
miniature battle of Sanlago that has been
arranged In Ihe Cuban village. The tiny

The Cuban Inhabitants of tbo village are
always the recipients of much attention from
visitors ,
The Moorish Palace Is a never ending

Ono of the good things provided for the
entertainment of visitors at the exposition

Northwestern University Male quartet. This
organization Is well and widely known and
cornea with the highest encomiums from
press and Individuals. The young men ore

The fact that one of the members of the

WILL OPEN ANOTHER STREET
Council Accept * n PropoNltlnn ( or

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

The application of members of the Church

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.

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 ,

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. The Pabst people
broke ground a < lay or two ago for a brick
building nn Hallroad avenue , just eouth nt

Frank J. Moriarty , cashier of the Packers'
National bank , and Mrs. Moriarty have re
turned from Wyoming , where they spent six
weeks visiting at the big cattle ranch ot B.
Amorettl. Mr. and Mrs. Moriarty were
greatly Improved by the trip , as they spent
a greater portion of the timeout of doors.
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. Fusion and anti-fusion appears
to bo the cause of the estrangement be
tween the democratic war horses and the
leaders of both sides are working hard for
the upper hand.
