Thursday was Scandinavian dny at tha
exposition and the descendants of the
Vikings of old thronged the grounds all
day , but especially In the evening. The
main attraction was the musical festival
held In the auditorium , which was attended
by a generous outpouring of people from
the city and surrounding towns. President
Miller was on the program for the welcome
addrcfe and he had a warm word of cheer
for the vlsltora. Governor Poynlor was
alee down for n short talk. The band , for
once , occupied seats In the orchestra chairs
and the big Btagu was filled with n chorus
of ISO people.
Handmastcr BollEtedt was the conductor
for the evening , he having under his baton
hlo own organization and the singers as well ,
nnd the concert was n fairly succeosful one.
The chorus work was good , the voices responding
spending readily to the beck of the director
nnd the band making n flno background.
The soldier's chorun from "Faust" was
especially good. The opening chorus num
ber was an original composition by Adolph
Edgren and was entitled "Omaha's Wel
come. " The concert closed with a "Jubllro
Cantata" by the eamo composer , the latter
being of a rather ambitious nature and con
taining some really creditable passages and
phrases.
Ono of the big numbers on the program
was the duct and trio from the "Creation. "
Miss Emma Mocller and Mr. Jncobion sang
the first pnrt and Mr. Edgren Joined In the
trio with , hfi ! tenor. The number went very
'
well nhd rWelveh'"Eehc"'rous applause. The
band was most liberally applauded during
the evening nnd Mr. Bcllstedt was forced
to announce that owing to the length of
thn program ho could not grant encores.
The erpcclnlly flno number was the "Peer
Gynt" suite , which was played faultlessly.
Saturday night has been set aside as Elks'
night nnd that organization will bo at the
evening concert in full force with all the
enthusiasm that usually characterizes their
gatherings. Bandmaster BeHstedt will ar
range. a program with especial reference to
the occasion nnd there will be much fun on
tap.

Thursday night was an enjoyable occasion
for the members of the faculty nnd all
others Interested in the medical department
of the University of Omnhn. It was nn oc
casion when the Institution's new homo was
( brown open to the Inspection of the public
nnd durlne the evening hundreds ot people
parsed through the building , congratulating
the faculty and at the same time feeling a
natural pride In the Institution which Is
rapidly etepplnp Into the front ranks of the
collies of the country.
Knrly last spring the faculty and officers
of the University of Omaha discovered that
the medical department needed more room
for the accommodation of the students nnd
It was decided to erect an addition to the
college building at Twelfth and Pacific
streets , this city. Work was commenced s
soon as frost was out of the ground and last
night the building was thrown open that
the citizens might ecc what had been ac-
compllnhed In the few short months.
The building as completed presents n front
of 100 feet on Pacific street , extending back
some eighty feet , U IB four stories high ,
with a basement , constructed of stone and
red prraeed brick and equipped with all ot
the modern conveniences.
All the rooms are well lighted and arc
finished In oak and hard pine. The rooms on
the drat floor ot the addition are used for a
laboratory , capable ot accommodating 100
students. Here each student has his working
table , with lockers for tools and materials.
There are nlto a Inrgo lobby , cloak and
nmoklng rooms. On the floor above ore the
reception rooms for patients , offices for
members of the fnculty , library and toilet
rooms. Above thcee rcoms and on the next
lloor Is the operating room , where there are
twenty dental chairs , with space for twenty
more , which will bo put In when needed.
There are also lockers for the students. The
upper floor Ifl used as a laborntory for the use
of the students nnd a place for keeping the
chenilcnln and materials used In carrying on
thn work of the college. Upon this floor
stationary tables nro placed for the con
venience of the students , each table being
sufficiently largo for three students to work
j ' over.
In the old part of the college n number of
changed have been made In the arrangement
of the rooms. In the basement toilet rooms
have been placed. Here nro also located the
boilers and apparatus for the heating plant ,
the vnte for the storage of the subjects for
dissection nnd the general store room. On
the outside n cold storage room hns been
built , where subjects nro kept until placed
In the pickling vata. On the first or main
lloor are the offices , the museum , surgical
operating rooms and the rooms for children ,
ORCther with the shower baths. The second
end floor I occupied by the cloak , lecture ,
idlnc nnd rooms where the X ray Instru-
ncnts are kept. On the floor above are the
rooms for the professors , lecture rooms nnd
aboratorlcs for students. Above these rooms
nnd on the next lloor arc the dissecting
ocms , with ten tables and a large labora-
ory.
ory.At
At tlio present time there are seven women
ind eighty-five men In the medical and
ono woman and cevcnty-one men In the den-
al department. Every room Is equipped
hroughout with new Instruments and ma-
crlal for the teaching of the two profes
sions. The Instructors are among the best
n _ thc land , many of them being physicians
and dentists of the city.
At the opening of the new building
Thursday night the dedicatory adtlrc o was
delivered by Rev. T. J. iMackay , who dwelt
upon the rapid strides made by the college.
Tho. address to the students was by Dr.
Jonas and the affairs of the college were
discussed by Dr. Harold Gifiord. In addi
tion to the addressee and the muclc , there
wcro two huge punch bowls that were fre
quently replenished.
GUARDS OBSERVE NATAL'DAY '
Kcntlvltlcn nt the Armory Mnrk Their
Twelfth Illrthdny nnd Thurntnn
Itlllen Arc UuvNta.
TheOmntm Gunrds celcbrntcd their twelfth
anniversary last night with nn elaborate ball
at tha armory. In addition to this pleasant ;
significance , a feature of the occasion was
the attendance of the Thurston Rifles , who
wcro present In force , th& honored guests of
the evening. Their full drees uniforms had
been brought from the seclusion to which
they had boon doomed during the period ,
when their owners were more familiar with
n. Mauser rifle tlmn a dance program , and
the ball room presented n distinctively mili
tary nppearnnco. The ancient rlvnlry was
buried for all time , and the evening was
an artistic and social success. A military
effect had been striven for In the decora-
tloriH , which consisted of Americans flags
draped from walls nnd celling with a liberal 1
hand. The platform at the- end of the hall 1
had been converted Into an Impromptu but
popular conservatory , nnd the suite of par
lors newly furnished and decorated offered
n tempting escape from the crowded dancing
floor. In all there were300 guests In the
ball room , who faithfully participated In
each number of n protracted progrnm.
Among the notnble guests were Mnjor Mill-
ford of the Thirty-ninth volunteers , formerly
colonel of the First Nebraska , and Captain
Strelght of Company F , Nebraska National '
Guard , who came up from Lincoln for the
occasion. The management of the affair was
entrusted to James Allen , G , W. Doane and
L. C , Sholes.
CHIEF WHITE'S SUCCESSOR
Hpecnlntlnii Illfe nn to Whether or
Tint Hu Will Conic from
the Itniikn ,
Considerable Interest U manifested con
cerning the probable successor of the late
Chief White of the police force and specula
tion Is everywhere rife as to the Identity ot
the prospective now chief. The Board of Po-
llco and Flro CommUalonera hns not yet
taken any action In the matter except to
designate Captain Donahue n act-
l i ; chief until provision shall have been
mndo for a permanent successor to Chief
White. All appointments by the Police
Board of captains and sergeants heretofore
have been In the line of promotion. The
present acting chief Is the senior captain
and Daniel W , Her Is Junior captain. Should
either of these officers bo chosen to fill the
vacancy in the chlcftuliithlp , It is probable
that one of the sergeants will be promoted
to the captaincy thus vacated. There Is al
ready talk of several applications for the
chieftainship from outside of the force , but
none has yet been filed ,

Republican candidates are being well re
ceived hero nnd nre quite confident of se
curing a largo vote. Among those who
spent a portion of yesterday In the city
were : N. P. Swnnton , candidate for cor
oner , nnd Judges Fawcott nnd Dlcklnecn.
Messrs. Bnrlght nnd Haverly have been
down several times and met with encouragement -
agement wherever they went. The repub-
llcan candidates for assessor arc making
personal canvass In their respective wards
nnd nro confident of election. Several big
rallies are projected by the republicans , to
bo held within the week or ten days.
Judging from street rumors , the utmost
harmony does not prevail In the fusion
camp , These rumors arc strengthened by
the attitude of the organ of the fusion
forces here the Dally Tribune. In Its
Issue of Wednesday , October 25 , this paper
"If the cntlro fusion ticket Is not elected
this fall it will be on account of the lack
of ambition of men who are In a position
to do things that nro necessary In the
management of affairs. So far the manage
ment of the campaign has -been decidedly
weak. The central committee , or rather
the. executive committee. In whoso hands
restn the manipulation of the whole affair ,
sits by a warm radiator and liinents that
candidates have not paid their nssccRmeuts ,
A few fellows have been hired to run
around through the wards and find out how
many men have registered after the reg
istering has been done and a few ward
meellngii have been held. Xo effort has
been mada toward organization , no literature-
of proper character has been placed In
the homes of the Independent voters who
might bo Influenced by n proper showing.
The opportunity that hns not presented
j Itself in years Is being slowly neglected
nnd It ehould bo looked Into by the men
who are Interested. "
A great many fuelonlsts admit thnt this
condition of affairs prevails and very few
have any hopes of electing more than one
or possibly two candidates out of the entire
ticket.
Sperlnl Council . , < -OIIK. ( |
A special meeting of the city council , for
the transaction of routine business , wns
held Thursday evening. The ordinance re
pealing the franchise granted to the Mnglc
City Klcctrlc Light company came up for
third reading and received an affirmative
vote from every member. This franchise
was repealed because attorneys have de
clared that the company fnlled to flic nr-
tlclen of Incorporation before securing the
right of way through South Omaha. It
has been held by the court that the council
had a perfect right to repeal the franchise
and this wns done. After Acting Mayor
Bennett , who occupied the chair , had de
clared the repealing ordinance a law Mem
ber Kelly secured the passage of a resolution
directing the city attorney to draft an or
dinance granting another franchise to the
Magic City company. This new ordinance
will , most likely , whn Introduced , bo
carefully watched In its course to sec that
no legal objections arise.
Following this came the reading of a
proposition from the South Omaha Water
Works company for a franchise to operate
and maintain an electric lighting plant
nnd lay conduits or string wires on tha
streets and alleys. A franchise for twenty-
five years was granted to this company and
a contract for lighting the city for the
next five years wan entered Into. The
South Omaha Water Works company pro-
cnndle power from sunset to sunrise for
J10.50 a month each and to charge the city
50 cent sa month for each Incandescent lamp

The new contract Is quite a reduction
over the price the city is now paying. At
present $12 a month is paid for arc lights
and regular meter charges arc made for In-
I j candescent lights. The contract will ba
| : effective as eoon as signed by the mayor
or acting mayor. All members of the coun-
ell voted for the franchise and contract of
the South Omaha Water Works company.

Speaking of live stock prospects nnd con
ditions In Montana the Stock Growers' Jour
nal say :
"Tho cattle shipping season is practically
over , although a few shipments are yet
to bo made. The season has been a good
one for stockmen , even If the Hhlpments
wore not ns heavy ns formerly. The range
has been nil thnt could be dctilred nnd cattle
came out of the winter In good condition ,
early takln ? on fat , which they held.
The frequent rains caused little or no travel
for water nnd the herds steadily Increased
In weight , finally finishing out In excellent
; ohape for range benvcs , The market , top.
has been very satisfactory , holding fairly
firm nt good prices. Take It nil In nil the
cattleman has little complaint to file against
1S99 nnd with another good winter has flat
terlng prospects for the year 1900.
"Montana pasturage was never better
since the dav when buffalo roamed the
ranpffl. Sheepmen nre not cutting down their
flockn. as > has been reported , It la believed
thnt there wcro never to many sheep on the
ransea ns now. There are more cattle In
Montana now than last year , yet twn or
three times an many could be kept without
overcrowding. "

FIRE ON DOUGLAS STREET
Oninlin Tnnk JlnniifnetnrlnR 111111-

Viilnalile aiiiclilncry IlcNtrnvcil.
The two-story frame building nt Seventh
and Douglas streets occupied by the Omaha
Tank Manufacturing company caught fire
about 6:30 : Thursday night and was badly
gutted before the flames wcro controlled ,
The lire hnd a brisk start , in fact the whole
Inaldo of the building eccmed to be a maea of
flames when the flro department arrived ,
but through heroic efforts of the flremen
the conflagration was finally curbed.
The structure was filled with nil sorts of
combustible * such as dry pine and oak lumber -
ber , braldce shavings , tmwdust and oiled
woods nnd as soon ns the flre cnught it began -
gan to cat through the building as though it
trap going through straw. To add to the
difficulty the hose burst and put the flre-
fighters to nn Immense disadvantage.
Two or three -times it seemed that the lire
was under control , but it broke out again
and the contents of the building were about
a total loss , although the shell of the buildIng -
Ing wan left almost Intact. The plant is
owned by Theodore Christiansen and It turns
out hogsheads , tierces and vuts , such ns are
used In packing houses. The loss was prln-
cipally to the machinery , which was valua-
ble.
ble.C.
C. P. Xorwnld , the manager ot the con
cern , came to the scene of the flro soon
after It broke out and worked with the fire
men to cave all that wns possible. He said
ho could place no estimate upon the damage
done , as there was no way ot telling just how
much lumber had been destroyed. Ho
thought It would take several thousand del
lars to replace the machinery.
Mr. Norwald said the cause of the flre wns
ft mystery. They had clcsed as usual a
short time before and everything was all
right then.
There was no flre used In the building ,
all the machinery being run by electricity.
The building nnd contents were partially
covered by Insurance , butjhe exact amount
could not be ascertained ns the papers were
In the safe In the burned building and could
not bo obtained.
BAD MEN LANDED IN JAILi
AVIlllnm Miller nnd Bart Olncn Arc
BrotiKht to Omnhn liy Deputy
MaraknlB.
Deputy United States Marshals Barber
and Palmer arrived from Broken Bow yeater-
aay , bringing with them Willlnui Miller and
Bart Olsen , who have been placed In jail
to await the action of the United States
grand Jury. Miller Is .charged with rob
bing the postomce nt Merna , and Olsen Is
charged with assisting the alleged robber to
escape.
About one week ago Miller broke Into the
postofllce , secured a small sum of money
and was just getting out of n back window
when a pcsse of citizens cnme upon him and
filled his legs with bird shot. He was ar-
rostej and taken to Broken Bow , where he
was locked In Jail. A day or two later ho
and Olsen , who was held for some minor
offense , eawed out of jail and stole a team ,
starting south. Deputies Barber and
Palmer took up the trail and for two days
there was a hot chase. The men were cap
turcd while eating dinner at a farmhouse
near Indlanola , 150 miles from the place
where they started ,
Bloodhounds from Beatrice were used for
following the trail for some distance , but
later the ofllcers gave up the dogs nnd con
tinued the chase , being assisted by the
marks of a broken shoo on the horse , which
the men were driving. This trail was fol
lowed through fields , along country roads
nnd across streams.
Miller admits having been arrested a
number of times but says that ho always
managed to escape punishment. Olsen has I
the sppcarance of being n farmhand , nnd
says that thin Is the first tlmo that he has
ever been in trouble.

Comedy drnnm in three acts , by Vlctorlen

In decided contrast to Wednesday night
Thursday evening saw nn audience of rather
limited size nt Boyd's to witness Miss Blair's
production of this really delightful bit of
French humor. Theater-goers nre better ar-
qualnted with Sardou as n writer of trngedy
rather than comedy , but "Dlvorcons" shows
that ho Is thoroughly capable of turning his
pen to either. Llko the majority of French
plays , this one Is n trifle risque and deals
with a flirtation between a young married
woman of social position and n French gen
tleman , with whom she thinks she Is In love '
nnd entertains at her home In her husband's !
absence. The latter discovers hf r Infidelity j
and . decides to cure ncr with her own mcdl-1 j
cine. She Is anxious to secure n divorce In | I
order that ehe may marry her paramour.
The huaband consents to this ; In fnct on-
enrages It. The wife IB extravagant to a
degree nnd when she finds her husband In
different about her obtaining a divorcennd
realizes that she will be compelled to live
upon a much smaller Income ns well ns the '
fnct that her husband Is perhaps anxious |
to get rid of her to marry another she do-
ctdes thnt her love for her paramour Is I
quiteImaginary. . A champagne supper , in ;
which the genuine article Is ( served upon the '
stage , n quart of Mumai'n being consumed !
with evident delight by Miss Blnlr and Mr. '
llramwcll , brings about n reconclllntlon nnd
ot course everything ends hnpplly , ns Is the
case In nil good plnys.
The first act ot "Dlvorcons" Is perhaps
a trlllc talky. but this Is excusable , In view
of the- fact that all things literary and dra
matic must have a proper Introduction , nnd
In this piece Sardou uses his first act for
this purpose. The second Is , however , lively
enough to please anyone , aa well as the last , '
during both of which the nudlencc was kept i
almost constnntly In a titter of merriment. ! I
The greater part of the acting In the piece ;
falls upon Mr. Bramwcll nnd Miss Blair nnd | ' I
both nro quite equal to the emergency. Their ,
extreme naturalness throughout the play ,
ndds a real chnrrn to It and there Is practl-1' !
cally no time when the audience Is allowed !
to realize that these clever artists are act
ing , but are kept constantly In the atmosphere -
phere of the piece.
There is not much to bo seen In the way
of elaborate scenery , the familiar house sets
being used In each of the three acts. Mlfo !
Blair wears some stunning gowns , as do the
other women in the cast. |
Owing to the unusually large demand for i ,
scats to "A Lady of Quality , " during the' '
earlier half of the week the management
has decided to play Mrs. Burnett's beautiful
piece both tonight and Saturday night In-
btead cf "DlvorcoiiB , " as was originally in
tended. The latter will be the bill at Satur
day's matinee.

Mrs. Bridget Sullivan , widow of Corncllm
Sullivan , who was formerly n prominent
citizen of Omaha , hns at Iai t secured from
the city coTincIl and the city ollclnls : a con
cession In regard to a special tax on rome
of her property , which she hns been seeking
for over five years. Her property on Shir
ley street "was nssemed its proportionate
phnra of the cost of grading that thorough
fare , but thn assessment wait never paid
Mrs. Sulllvnn. who now live * In Chicago ,
spent considerable time In this city trying
to have the aasopsment canceled , on the
ground that her husband's name had been
forged to the petition for the change of
grade. She did not have proofs to satisfy
beyond a doubt all the officials who passed
upon her clnlm thnt the signature wns a
forgery , but they concluded that the tnx
would never be paid In any case. The
amount Involved was $132.
