abreast with the advancement
nnd Improvements along all other lines of
railroading , the advertising department ns-
eoclatcdwith the olllces of the general pas
senger agents of the great railway systems
baa mmlo great strldea during the last few
years. Not until within the last decade ,
however , hns It advanced beyond n state of
crudity nnd established Itself aa a perma
nent nnd valuable factor In Increasing
yearly dividends.
Advertising men who seek positions with
the. grcnt railroad corporations must be as
keen of Intellect na a newly-whetted razor.
They must be original , They must bo en-
pablo of devising new Ideas which appeal
to the public yo and set the world "a-
talklng. " For this they arc paid good sal
aries and are lu line for promotion to better
things. As long , however , as they are as-
eoclatod with the advertising department
they practically lese their Individuality. No
credit la given them by the great masses
of the people , who road their interesting
pamphlets and note their attractive r.dver-
tlsomonLs. They work solely In the Inter
eat of the road In whoso employ they are
and all credit Is given the general parae-n
ger agent , whose name , perhaps , Is signed
moro often with the small Initial of tbo
advertising man afllxpd than by his confi
dential clerk.
At the general offices of the great rail
way corporations the advertising department
Is assigned nn Important place. Its apart
ments are usually bright , cheerful and
roomy. A busy for < o of assistants con
stantly finds employment. ' Immense- quanti
ties of advertising matter are sent out each
i- > week. Now , perhaps , It IB a flaming poster
. announcing low rates for a certain testa !
event at fiomo point on the line of railroad
Again , It U a handsomely printed pamphlet
descriptive of some special feature found In
the territory covered by the system. Or it
may be that the clerks arc busy In mailing
new time cards to the Innumerable ad
dresses of agents nnd persons all over the
country -who are Interested in knowing o
the changes in the schedules.

The manager of the advertising depart
ment must bo ever productive. One would
think thnt In time his ideas would run out
that he would have covered all those thlngo
calculated to Increase general public Inter
est In his railroad until they hud been
worked threadbare. Not so , however. No
sooner Is one new Idea worked Into n news
paper advertisement or an attractive pam-

resentntlves of the big establishments nre
engaged In figuring terms with him upon
some other big contract for printing.
The advertising man must be tactful. He
has supervision of the pass courtesies ex
tended the newspapers which publish the
advertising matter of the railroad. These
publishers must be deftly handled. The
advertising man must have the happy fac
ulty of turning down n request for n pass
for some forty-second cousin or other dis
tant relative In such a manner as not to
offend the soliciting editor. At Intervals' '
ho looks through the scrap album prepared
by the nowBnnj _ > e.r .clcfk and notes which
newspapers l"n the territory covered by the
road nnd Its branches are giving duo pub
licity to the Improvements Inaugurated by
the company nnd complimenting the wise
management of the officials froai the presi
dent down to the foreman of the adjoining
section. Ho jots down In his memory the
newspnper which nlwnys publishes the ad
vertising matter sent It and rarely refuses
any transportation or favors which may
be sought by It.
Week In nnd week out the advertising man
nnd h'ls assistants toll away , exerting every
effort to popularize their road. Advertise
ments delineating the superior ndvnntnges
of the road over any of Its competitors must
bo prepared nnd changed so frequently that
the reading public will not become tired
of seeing them , or shiver with disgust to
read , when the snow.Is . swirling nrouno
them In the. street cars In the chill wintry
months , that "It's Cool in Colorado" a
) catch line which directed the minds of many
to a trio to the mountains when the swelter
ing dnys of summer were unbearable.
The advertising man 'may not know
whether or not his efforts nre productive of
good until some slip or flaw In hl advertis
ing matter directs attention to the unmis
takable publicity. These do not como fre
quently , nnd BO long as the monthly appro
priation Is made by the company for the
support of his department he works on
without stopping to wonder at the results.
Kx.toiit ol I'ulillelty.
Some of the Instances which arise as a
result of a mistake show that the people
rend the railroad advertisements almost as
cloHely ns those of the ulg bargain stores.
Not a great while ago a local railroad , In
order to meet the competition of nnolhur
line , " announced a rate to a neighboring city
of $1.75 for the round trip , nominally $7.25.
An advertisement nppenrcd In the dally pa
pers' giving duo publicity to the low rate.
It hnd been agreed upon the day before , and
the advertising man was Instructed to get It
ftito the newspapers. Late that afternoon
the rate was withdrawn , but through nn
oveielght the advertisement was not taken
from the newspapers. The ticket agent was
Instructed to sell no tickets at the low rate.
When the ticket window opened nn excep
tionally largo crowd wanted tickets at the
low rato. When Informed thnt the rate hail
been withdrawn and the "Kent could not sell
tickets nt loss than the regular rotes they
worn much wrought up , They procured
copies of tbo papers containing the adver
tisement and thnmt them through the ticket
window , but the agent was powerlree , He
had receive * ! orders from a higher source.
The prospective excursionists called down
all kinds of maledictions upon the head of
the entire railroad company. Many went
away In nngcr and probably haven't ' for
given the railroad company yet. That ad
vertisement didn't pay. bccauie It made en
emies tor the railroad company , but Is
showed conclusively thnt the railroad ad
vertisements are rend by the people.
A corpulent woman nllghted from the
street car on the viaduct nnd hurried as
rapidly as her ponderous weight nnd the
added Impediment of two hcnvy cnrpct-bngs
would permit toward the ticket office. She
asked for n ticket to a certain point nnd
was informed that she could not get a train
tor that place until the nlternoon. Her rngo
know no bounds. She accused the railroads
of being ns bad as the average fusion poli
tician. It lacked even then of five minutes
until the train was duo to leava , according
to the published time cards , one
of which she showed t'he agent.
The general pas cnger agent hap
pened to be near. He sympathized
with the woman , realizing how unpleasant
It In to miss a train. As soon as ha
reached his ofTlco he summoned the adver
tising men. There was no mincing of words ,
but ever since that time the advertising
man hag seen to It that the arrival and de
parture of trains arc kept absolutely correct
In the newspapers , for the r ason this woman
was left was that a change had been made
In the departure of her train that hnd not
been noted In the published tlmo cards.
The advertising man also hna under his
direction the Issuance of the hotel and
pocket tlmo cards. Ono time one of the tlmo
pocket tlmo card * . One tlmo one of the lo
ot the arrival of ono of Its trains. It came
In twenty minutes curlier than before.
Shortly previous to that time , now tlmo cards
for tbo accommodation of the hotels and
general public had been Issued nnd the ad
vertising man thought It would be n utroko
of economy not to Issue now ones Just for
the snko of changing ono figure. So he
didn't.
ftoncrnl .Maiumvr Irritated.
One frosty spring morning the general
manager of the road In question walked to
and fro under the train sheds. Frequently
ho looked at his watch. His face tore an
expression such as usually overspreads the
countenance of an official when one of his
trains Is late and the passenger director
did not care to offer nny Information. FI-
nnlly , his patience were out. He once moro
consulted the little pocket time card and
found the train was some minutes overdue.
Ho called the passenger director and asked
him what time the train would arrive. His
Biirprlso was great when he learned that the
train had been In nearly nn hour. It was
that -very train on which the- time had been
changed so that It arrived twenty minutes
earlier and ho had been guided by one of the
tlmo cards which had not been corrected.
HLsvlfo had arrived on that train and bo
was at the depot to meet her. When ho
reached homo ho found she had preceded him
eomo tlmo and lie wa cold and Irritated.
This time the advertising man had a con
sultation with tbo general manager , at the
latter's request , and before the day was over
n new scries of hotel and pocket time cards ,
noting the one small change In time , was
'being turned off from the printing press.
JEALOUS MAN AND A RAZOR
UCOTKC Krottlero. In IniiK < il"l > lnK In
the City .lull IleoauHC He
Thlrntcil for Gore.
George Frottlere is languishing In the
city Jail. His wife's bright eyes are the
' cause of It all. Mrs. Frottlere Is employed
nt ono of the pavilions on West Midway as
an actress. Her hucbaiul Is also there In
the capacity of leader of the orchestra. For
I ! -ome tlmo the green-eyed monster has been
gnawing at the vitals of the husband. Sun
day night ho thought the last straw had
\faen ridded to'tho camel's back and ho got
a razor and Intimated that he was thirsting
for gore , hence his arrest.
It seems thnt during the evening Mrs.
Frottlero used her bright eyes with alluring
effect upon a man In the audience , at least
so thought the jealous husband , who watched
j from the side of the stage. After the actress
had done her turn she was confronted by
icr Irate spouse , who used some rather
rough language. She retorted promptly and
10 slapped her. This aroused her fighting
) lood nnd she slapped him. Friends Inter
fered nt this stage of the game and a tem
porary truce was patched up until the show
vas over.
As soon as the curtain had been rung
lown and the lights put out Mr. Frottlere
agnln renewed his upbrnldlngs nnd his wlfo
retaliated. This angered him so that he
; ot his razor out nnd nourishing It about his
lend In a menacing mnnner advanced upon
tils wlfo , stating at the tlmo that he would
kill her Instantly and then end his own life.
The frightened woman retreated from be
fore the Infuriated man and there wns n wild
scene for n few minutes until some of the
stage people were attracted to the scene
by the woman's shrieks and the man was
disarmed of his deadly weapon.
He swore up and down that ho was going
to kill his wlfo nnd himself and wns loth
to glvo up the razor until ho wns compelled
to by sheer force. Ho was sent to the police
station , whore ho will bo detained until his
jealous passion has somewhat cooled.

J _ * 4 _ _ . _ -J
Quito a number of people have recently
asked about the disposition of the ordinance
granting a franchise to the Rapid Transit
company. This ordinance , Introduced In
tiie city council several weeks ago , la now
resting peacefully In the pocket of one of
the members of the Judiciary committee nnd
will hot be reported back until the company
has compiled with the state laws In relation
to Incorporation. The law provides that
companies ct this sort must file articles of
Incorporation with the necrctary of stale
before asking for franchises or transacting
any business other than organization. As
far as known , the Rapid Transit company
has not filed mich articles , and until this
Is done the judiciary committee will not
act. Another point is the failure of the
alleged company to glvo nny names of Incorporators -
corporators or officers. The application for
a franchise Is merely signed Kapld Transit
ccmpany and does not bear the signature
of nny one. This U considered an oversight
by the committee and the passage of the
franchise-ordinance will not be seriously
considered until articles of Incorporation
ere filed nud tbo names x > f the Interested
parties are given out.
Mot long ago the council fell Into nn er
ror by granting a franchise before articles
had been flled with the * ccretary of state ,
and the present judiciary committee docs
not propose to bo caught In the same trap
again. While nearly every one In South
Omaha would be glad to see the projected
line materialize , the only one who In known
to be Interested Is P. J. Barrett , nnd ho Is
not credited with having enough money to
see the deal through. IJy those who have
looked Into the matter the scheme Is con
sidered visionary , as the withdrawal of
troops from Fort Crook leaves only one
company of sixty men nt the post , and the
transportation of these men back and forth
would not pay the Interest on a single
motor. The population of Bellevue la not
largo enough to support a line as proposed
and with no troops at Fort Crook It Is cvl-
dent that nothing will ever como of the
venture , at least until a regiment Is sta
tioned at the post. Tho-so who claim to
know assert that the scheme was devised
for the purpose of selling out In case a
franchise waa obtained , but it Is safe to
say that a franchise to run through v the
streets of South Omaha will not be secured
until such articles of incorporation liavo
been filed nnd a suitable bond submitted.

The veto of Mayor Ensor on the Q street
sewer contract , which was not acted upon
at a special meeting called for the purpose
for the reason that no quorum was present ,
Is causing some little talk and It Is mora
than likely that bids for the work will bo
rcndvertlsed for. It will doubtless bo re
membered that the mayor sent In a veto
on the contract awarded for the reason
that the contract had been given to the
highest Instead of the lowest bidder. From
talks with members of the committee on
streets and alleys It appears that the bid
of Connelly was not In the same shape as
the other bid , and on account of the com
mittee falling to call upon the engineer to
figure out the difference the contract was
awarded to the highest bidder , Instead of
the lowest. Mayor Ensor saw the error of
the committee and Interposed his veto and
called a special meeting of the council to
take action.
Dcmiiurntn Lookltif ? for
Local democrats are in hard lines , as
they have no organization to speak of In the
Magic City. An effort was made Sunday
to hold a meeting of old democratic warhorses -
horses to bolster up some of the fusion can
didates , but nothing of Importance was ac
complished. 'The lack of funds seems'to'be
worrying the committee nnd at the meeting
various schemes were suggested for raising )
sufficient money for campaign purposes. The
meeting , held In a back room of a building
on Twenty-fifth street , broke up without
any definite conclusion being reached. An
other meeting Is to be held soon , when It IB
hope that certain candidates will bo pres
ent. From what transpired It Is inferred
that those Interested see the necessity for
hard work in order to prevent the entire
ticket from being snowed under.
of n. Night Solmnl.
Members of the committee of the Board of
Education having In charge the establish
ment of a night school , as recommended by '
Superintendent Wolfe , are In doubt and will
ask for an expression of public opinion before - i
fore taking action. It Is feared that the attendance - |
tendance at such a school will be light , and I
for tills reason the committee Is withholding j
Its recommendation. It Is dosircd that all
those who wish to attend a night school , If
established , send their names and addresses
to Superintendent AVolfo as soon as pos
sible. If enough pupils are guaranteed the
school will bo established , and If not the
project will bo dropped. Superintendent
Wolfe Is of the opinion that such a school
will be a success and ho hopes that a good
sized llet of names of prospective pupils
will be presented.

The many South Omaha stockholders In
the Stoddard Copper company In Arizona
will doubtless be pleased to learn that a

Inqiu'Ht Toilny Over Tlioninit ( ilyni
An Intjueet will bo held over the remains
of Thomas Glynn today. It Is expected that
the witnesses called for the state will tell
the true story of the killing as well as many
detnllR not heretofore told , The Dee was
the first paper to tell of Montague's account
of Glynn throwing hot water on him and
It Is expected thai this point will be forcibly
brought out In the testimony. Both the
dead man and the prisoner appear to have
many friends and It will not be surprising
If tbo testimony conflicts to some extent.
The Inquest will be conducted by the sheriff
In the absence of the coroner.

At the Sunday afternoon concert given by
the Bcllstedt band at the Exposition , Mlsa
Ella Ethel Free , n young pianist of ex
traordinary attainments , inado her debut
before the Omnha public , nnd from the mo
ment she struck the first notes of the dif
ficult Sixth llhapsodle by Liszt until the
last singing note of the concert etude by
Schlotzor thcro was no doubt but that she
had scored a tremendous hit.
Miss Free Is a pupil of the renowned
Moszkowskl , nnd her playing demonstrates
that fact , for she has the Moszkowskl touch.
She plays masterfully no word more fit
tingly describing her work than virile. Her
technical ability Is simply wonderful her
fingers seemingly arc armed with tendons of
steel nnd titrlko the kcya with phenomenal
force , bringing out a brilliant and yet a
smooth , clear tone. Her execution of runa
Is free and flowing and her phrasing Is big
and original.
When the young woman closed her first
number the vast audience greeted her with
great warmth. A bow would not suffice to
quiet the ealvos of applause and she was
forced to play once more , selecting a diffi
cult and Intricately-woven concert etude by
Paul Schlotzcr. a Russian comuosor. Her
execution of this was moro pleasing than
the first number. The new pianist brlngH
to her work a tremendous enthusiasm and
shows much warmth of temperament nnd
splendid feeling. She is an Indefatigable
worker and has nn Indispensable gift , the
capacity of taking Infinite pains , which will
eventually bring her prominently before the
public ns one of the rising young Amerlcau
pianists.
Offered n ( iooil I'lmltloii ,
To add yet another touch of triumph after
the flattering reception on the part of the
audience , Miss Free was tendered a position
as teacher of piano In the university con
servatory of music at Lincoln by Director
Wlllard Klmball , who had come up to hear
her play and was so well and favorably Im
pressed that he tuado her n fine offer im
mediately. Miss Free asked for time to think
the matter over , stating that she had made
her plans and desired to stay In Omaha. The
audience was a critical one , for a largo
number of professional as well ns amateur
musicians had availed themselves of the op
portunity to greet the newcomer , and Miss
Free was surrounded by a congratulating
coterie of fellow pianists after the program ,
among them being Dr. Baetens , who was
enthusiastic In his praleo ; Slgmund Lands-
berg , who was acquainted with Miss Free In
Berlin , and several other prominent must-
clans and teachers.
Miss Free , however , did not overshadow
the concert of the
afternoon , which was a
fine one , containing several good numbers ,
not classical for Mr. Bellstcdt docs not at
tempt classics with a reed band but num
bers bordering on that order. The first
number was the "Festival" overture , by
Lateen , a big selection full of sound and
color. . The variations on-Haydn's "Austrian
Hymn" were well received and following It
as an encore Mr. Bellstcdt gave the "Flower
Song , " by Lange. A miniature suite of th'ree
pieces for reede , In which a wedding march
of the Brownies , a bridal dance and a Jolly
little hop of that same slrango little people
ple were someof the quaint things ,
elicited great applause. The music la by
Mr. Bellstedt and Is of recent composition.
Perhaps the most Interest was manifested
in Schubert's ballade , "The ErI King , " an
Intricate and beautiful composition and ono
seldom attempted by any organization save
nn orchestra. Emll Kopp , the new cornet-
ist , was recalled after his solo , "The Holy
City , " and played t'he piece a second time.
The evening concert was largely attended
and gave general satisfaction.

Herrmann , the magician , mystified two
audiences Sunday at his opening engagement
at the Hoyd theater nnd demonstrated that
the mnntlo of his great uncle has fallen
on worthy shoulders. Herrmann the younger
la clever nnd few would ever know that
there has been a change , a the present
magician Is almost nn exact counterpart of
the former both In appearance nnd In his
wonderful dexterity. He , of course , Is the
bright particular star of the show and hla
slelght-of-hAnd performances certainly
would load ono to believe he were In league

ances arc bewildering , to say the least.
To add n variety , La Pctllo Lena sang

with a new Illusion called The Mnlrt of

who , seemingly floating lu midair , dances
marches nnd turns somersaults , much to
the mystification of the uninitiated.
Doubtless no light opera was ever written

cism.With
With but ono week to 'become ' famlllnr
with music , stngo business and grouping
the Trocadero Opera company gives a per
formance of this pretty piece remarkably
free from faults. With the benefit of a
few moro rehearsals nnd performances the
company should , by the middle of the week ,
bo able to glvo n really excellent Inter
pretation of this Strauss masterpiece.
Sunday night's performance served to In
troduce two new members of the organiza
tion , Annlo Myers nnd Katharine Swan.
The former made nn Instantaneous hit with
last night's audience- and was compelled to
respond to numerous encores after each of
her solos. Miss Myers IB n pretty little
woman who looks not unllko Pnullno > Hall
In face , has a high soprano voice of splen
did quality and sings with a dash and a
spirit which If possessed .by . EOIUO of the
other members of the company would make
It second to none other of Its kind In the
country. Mips Swan arrived lu Omaha from
Now York on Wednesday and was compelled
upon short notice to replace Miss Mortimer
In the part of the queen , therefore her
nervousness and Inability to remember her
lines are excusable. With more time to be
come familiar with the part she will doubt
less do it full justice. Jay C. Taylor U
heard to better advantage in the- part of
Cervantes than any he has undertaken
yet. His waltz song In act second Is fault
lessly rendered and his splendid tenor vo'.co
Is exceptionally strong and clear. William
Rlley Hatch Is admirable In the prime min
ister. He is la good voice- and wins well
deserved encores. William Hicks and
Franklyn Fox handle the comedy roles very
well. Clyde Mohler as the IS-ycar-old kin ; ;
sang his part commendably. His trouffle
song Is particularly , well rendered. Marlon
Chase was well cast as the marchioness ,
as was also Alice- James as Antonio. The
work of the chorus Is deserving of praise.
The ensemble flnnle , "Hall to Our Lord , "
was one of the features of the opera. The
scenery Is adequate and the costumes now
and qulto , plaborate. , , A valuable addition
haa been made to the orchestra In the per
son of Hans Albert , the 'Well known violin
ist , who nets as Impedcter.
The artlDtlc feature of the week's bill nt
the Orpheum Is Marie Tavary , the operatic
star , who will bo remembered ns having
been In Omaha some seasons ago at the
head of her own grand opera company. It Is
such specialties aa Tavary thnt have made
vaudevlllo entertainments popular. Unllko
the usual singing turn , hers Is finished and
artistic. Her voice may be compared
favorably with that of almost any prlma
donna of the day. At the Sunday perform
ances she sang the grand Polonaise from
"Mlgnon , " by Thomas , Intermezzo ( "Avo
Maria" ) from "Cavellcrla nusllcnna , " by
Mnscagnl , and Charmnntc Olsean from
"Perle do Brezll , " by Fellclen David. In
the last pleco her splendid voice was heard
to great advantage , although unfortunately
the flute obllgnto was lacking. Tavary wore
a beautiful gown and her neck nnd hands
wore ailornc- : ! with a profusion of diamonds.
Of the other specialties the majority were
entertaining , there being only two that
wer'o below the average. For novelty ,
Montrell , the European juggler , gave the
i bC t number on the bill. He handles all
I sorts oC things with wonderful dexterity.
! His manipulation of the lighted torches ,
keeping one constantly In the nlr nnd seem-
i Ingly suspended there , was a clever bit of
work.
Mr. and Mrs. Jimmle Barry appeared In
n comedy full of dialogue , entitled "Mrs.
Wllklns * Boy. " Mr , Barry's portrayal of a
rural boy Is an excellent character study.
The burlesque cakc-wnlk by the Harrys Is
something new nnd extremely funny. Tht
Cnrmon Toll sisters do n singing , dancing
nnd coon-shouting turn that keeps the nudl-
cnco In nn upronr of laughter.
The blcgraph t-hows a number of new pic
tures , clear and distinct , Including ouo o
the Union Pacific overland limited going n
the rate of sixty miles nn hour , Admlra
Dewey nnd bis dog on the Olympla , Wca
Point cndots passing In review and the
Dowcy naval pnrnrlo. The balance of the
program Is made up of Clnyto and Clnrlcp , a
clever team of Juveniles ; Wrolhe nnd Wake-
flclil , comedians , and Charley Case , mouol-
ogist.

With the opening of fall and the beginning
f the winter's work by the different educn-
lonal organizations of the city , the Omaha
'ubllc library commences a oeason of un-
aunl activity. With the approach of cold
vcathcr a great many people take up some
recial line of etudy and to them the aid
of the library and Its attendants Is Inval
uable. The Omaha Woman's club has
tart'ed upon Its winter's work and it relies
ipon the library for Its text books nnd rof-
rcnccs. The Art department , under Mrs.
V. W. Kcysor , has taken UP the subject
of Gothic architecture and the library at-
endants' have furnished a reference list
of over 100 different books on this topic.
The English department of the Woraiu's
ulub Is keeping clean the books on the
shelves and the departments In
Current Topics nnd Political Economy arc
caking extensive use of the library facll-
tles.
tles.To people who arc devoting themselves to
the study of some ono thing , the attend
ants at the library have given great help
by their careful and thorough search for
references upon the subject. In ono In
stance a man who was preparing an article
upon municipal ownership of waterworks
UBS furnished with a list of over twenty
books and articles bearing upon the sub-
iect. For a class in the Congregational
church studying Saint Paul the library sup
plied a list of 100 references to magazine nr-
; Iclcs nnd books and o'ffered "volumes which
embraced his works , Pauline lettera , his
tories and monographs. Authorities on the
subjects for the coming meetings of the
Daughters of the Revolution . have boon
looked up and have formed a complete ref
erence list for the aid of the chapter. Mrs.
Hanchott has two classes In Egyptology
which meet nt the library , and a class lu
Evolution , and they depend upon the library
shelves for their text books nnd references.
A jiumber of new medical books have been
ately purchased upon the recommendation
of the clasa under Dr. Crummer at the
Crelghton Medical college. Lists upon com
mon subjects , such OB Arbor day , Christmas ,
and so on , are always kept on hand for the
use of students. Reference lists prepared
by other libraries ore always procured for
Omaha's use.
This year , ns Inst , the llbrnry Is sending
> ooks to schools In the outlying districts ,
and It has proven n great success. The
Board of Education has provided a wagon
which calls for and delivers these books aa |
often a twice a week , and the number of
schools thus benefited is expected to In-
crcaso from last year's twelve to twenty. ,
