Hundreds of voices blended harmonlous'y
at the TroJadero theater Sunday afternoon
In singing "I'ralso Oed from Whom All
Blessings Flow. " It was the doxology In
the Elks' memorial service for departed
members. A more Impressive scene Is sel
dom witnessed by an Omaha audience and
as the sweet strains of the old-fashioned
hymn swelled Into sacred volume and passed
out to die In echo , there was emotion that
would kindle sentiment In the heart of a
hardened cynic.
Solemnity characterized the services
throughout. An excellent program had been
arranged by the committees In charge and
It was well rendered. Every scat In the
theater was occupied , a public Invitation
having been extended.
The theater Was decorated wltn rcrerenco
to the occasion. The head ot a splendid
oik , preserved by taxidermy and Illumined
by a myriad of clestrlc lamps , . stooJ out
prominently In front of the stage. The na
tional colors were displayed profusely.
Around tlie walls of the theater largo pic
tures of the departed members were sus
pended , some of them so lifelike that they
looked as though they might speak. Glit
tering badges , emblematic ot the order ,
shone upon every Elk and the greater pirt
ot the Omaha membership was present , sup
plemented by many visiting Elks.
.Mimic IN n Kent lire.
Instrumental music was furnished by the
Trocadero orchestra and some of the best
\ocal talent In the city was there. The
service begun nt 3 o'clock and lasted about
two hours. These memorial exeiclses arc ,
a part of the Elks' ritual.
K. 1' . Mullen , exalted ruler , opened the
services with rltnaliatlc ceremonies. "Call
tbo roll of absent members , " said the exalted
ruler , and the secretory read the following
names : William D. Alexander , John F.
Iloyd , Dwight G. Hull , Willis F. Clarke ,
Colonel John M. Eddy , Captain Abner D.
Hayncs , William L. Harding , Charles Mc-
Cormlck , Charles P. N > cdham , Zacharla
Thomanon , Don M. Chamberlain , Colonel
Edward D. Webster , John P. Thomason , Josiah -
siah II. McCormlck , Chester C. Hulett ,
Henry D. Shull , Olln N. Davenport , John P.
Shonlng , Thomas J. Ormsby , Michael O.
Maul , Samuel C. Sample.
"Wo call In vnln , " responded the exalted
ruler , "which reminds us that In the midst
ot life we are In death. "
Following the preliminary opening , In
which only members ot the lodge partici
pated , Uov , Thomas J. Mackay offered
prayer. "Abide with Me" was sung by a
quartet composed of Mrs. C. E. Squires ,
Mrs. C. W. Morton , Daniel II. Wheeler and
Howard F. Stryker. George P. Cronk re
cited Bryant's "Thanatopsls. " Mr. Stryker
sang a solo , "Eternal llest , " and then came
Uev. Irving P. Johnson of the Episcopal
church , with an eulogy upon the deceased
Elks.
"I have warmed by your firesides , " said
the speaker , "and I feel that I can sln-
coicly sympathize with you In your solemn
commemoration of your departed brothers. "
Hev. Johnson then went on to say that the
theater Is presumed to bo a place ot amuso-
mcnt , but that on 'this occasion It Is set
apart for another purpose. "But , " ho con
tinued , "wo need a blending of religion and
amusement. Religion without amuspment Is
lee Bomber and amusement without rpllgloi )
la too frivolous. " The speaker talked at
length of the hope beyond the grave and his
words wcro highly eulogistic of the prin
ciples preached and practiced by the Elks.
Sacred music by the quartet followed
Rev. Johnson's remarks and Judge Lee Es-
tello supplemented the eulogy already pro
nounced.
"I shall talk more to Hio living than of the
dead , " said Judge Estcllo by way of preface ,
"hoping that n lesson may bo drawn there
from. How often do wo hear It said of the
Elks : 'They nro Jolly good fellows ? ' that Is
true. They nro jolly good fellows and I
believe In being Jolly when circumstances
warrant. But I am here to say that the Elks
nro moro than Is Implied by the term I have
just used. They are good , whether In the
midst of Joy or sorrow , and he who faithfully
adhortM to the tenets of this order can have
no trouble In the great hereafter. We write
the faults of our brothers on the sands and
wo write their virtues on the tablet of love
and memory. "
Judge Estello then talked at length on the
principles and emblems of the Elks , bringing
in most eloquently the consoling thought
that death Is not death after nil , but an
eternal life beyond the grave. Ho spoke In
tender eulogy of the absent members col
lectively and expressed the satisfaction ot
firm conviction that all Is well with them
In the beyond.
Judge Estello poke of the lojnlty of the
order to the flag of the country and paid a
patriotic tribute to the rod , white and blue ,
quoting at n timely moment Longfellow's
"Ship of State. "
Judge Estolla was In splendid volco and
his address made a deep Impression upon
every hcaror , for each utterance carried
with It the weight of sincerity ,
"Rock of ages cleft for mo ; let me hide
myself In thee. " it wan the volco of the
quartet , seemingly strengthened by divine
Inspiration. At the end of the song the
lodge members closed the ceremonies In
accordance with the ritual and the cxaltod
ruler Invited the audience to Join In slngln ; ;
"Prnlfio God , froin. Whom All Blessings
Flow. " It seemed that the volco of every
man , woman and child In the audience
wan uplifted. Rov. Mackay pronounced the
benediction and Omaha lodge No. 39 had fin
ished UE tribute to absent members ,

The cold wave that started Sunday morn
ingwas the rnuso of at least ono small
conflagration. The family of Lewis Wright ,
residing at 507 Lcnvenworth street , feeling
the need of some warmth , put a big sup
ply of coal and wood In their stove , with
the result that the stovepipe took on 11
ruddy glow In n short time and set ths
wainscoting on fire. The lire department
was culled out about 9 o'clock and made
short work of thn blaze. The damage done
will not exceed $13. to contents of the house
and to the house Itself.
Some rubbish in the basement of the
Klondike hotel at the earner of Sixteenth
and Webster streets caught on lire In some
unaccountable manner about 1 o'clock tills
morning and the lire deportment was called
out. The incipient blaze was extinguished
before- any damage was done.

MONEY IN HAULING BAGGAGE
Fifty CPII Clint-Boil fop Unoli Article
Trntinforrnl from Dciml to
If a person comes Inta Omaha now nnd
goes out over some other rnllroail than the
ono entering the depot at which ho lands ho
Is taxed 60 cents on each piece of baggage
transferred unless he Rets out on the street
and hunts an expressman other than the ano
having the contract with the railroad com-
panics.
Prior to the tlmo of the ocupancy of the
new Union depot constructed by the Union
1'aclflo Railway company nil baggage was
transferred free of charge between the two
Mason street depots. However , In those
times It cost halt a dollar to have n piece of
baggage transferred from these depots to
the Northwestern station nt Fifteenth and
Webster streets and the same price from that
station to those nt Mason street. The
'
Omaha Transfer company Is the concern thnt
lias the monopoly upon this business. Still 1
If a person has a trunk at one of the depots
It is not necessary to have this company do
the hauling unices the owner Is traveling
on a through ticket , In which event there is
n baggage transfer coupon attached and
made a part of the ticket and charged for
nt the point of purchase. On any kind of
n ticket other than that of the through va
riety the owner of baggage may go upon
the street and make any kind of terms for
the transfer of his property.
Deforo the occupancy of the Union Pa-
clllc's new depot the transfer baggage comIng -
Ing In there as placed on a truck and
pushed over to the Burlington station free
of charge , and the eamo plan was pursued
with baggage arriving over the Burlington
destined for trains going out from the Union
Pacific's old depot. The old \vooden struc
ture 1ms been torn down nnd the space be
tween the two depots has been filled In with
tracks to bo used by the Union Pacific for
yards and storage tracks for freight nnd
passenger cars. This prevents crossing over
the space and makes It necessary to cart
all baggage over the driveways and over the
Tenth street viaduct In passing from ono
depot to the other.
The contention by railway officials Is that
the price of GO cents Is the same as Is
charged In every city in the country nnd has j I
been agreed to by all the railroads entering >
Omaha , all of which are parties to the con
tract made with the transfer company.

South Omaha people are beginning to ,
ponder over the public debt aid some of '
the heavy taxpayers nre expr < - slng an
anxiety as to where the money Is to come
from to meet the city's obligation ! .
While the bonded Indebtedness of $307-
000 has not bocn Increased lately , there Is
a prospect thai It will be for the reason that
the payment of the Twenty-fourth street
and the N' Btrect paving bonds will mojt
likely have to be paid for by the city. In
other words , the taxpayers at larfio will
have to pay for the paving of Twcnty-fcurth
street from A to Q streets nnd on N street
from Twentieth street west to Twenty-fourth
street. Property owners on these otrcets
have gone Into court nnd submitted proof *
auITlclcnt to have the special tax assessed
'declared Illegal. This notion thro s the
cost of the Improvements onto the city at
largo and the question of a special bond ISJUB
will no doubt como up shortly.
Paving nlono Is not causing all of the
anxiety , for qulto n number of grading dis
tricts arc being contested on account ot the
alleged Illegality ot the passage of ordi
nances. While the district court has i-ulcd
for the plaintiffs In a majority of these
cases , It is probable that nn appeal to the
supreme court will bemade. . Some promi
nent attorneys hnvo gone on record as say
ing thfit in all probability the nntnnga 01
1 the lower court will be sustained. Outstand
ing bonds of nil kinds amount to fully $ GGO-
000 , and with the exception of district bonds
no provision has been made for the pay
ment of the indebtedness.
No sinking fund for the redemption ot
general Indebtedness bonds has over been
provided , although the matter has often l)5en )
talked of In the newspapers and by the
municipal authorities.
CHy'N Dolit IN
In 1901 the city ulH be called upon to
redeem bonds amounting to nearly $90,000
nnd thrco years Inter n big batch ot general
indebtedness bonds will fall due. This later
Issue will call for something over $100,000 ,
I nnd as there Is no sinking fund , It will bo
necessary for the municipality to renew
thcso bonds , If such a thing Is possible.
The city Is growing all the time and Im
provements are constantly being added , but
the levy for the present year Is not as
largo as it was In 1S9S , and consequently
there Is not as much revenue coming Into
the city treasury. The people are con
stantly demanding an extension of water
mains nnd electric street lights , but the
levy is not adequate to thcso demands , so
that there Is necessarily an overlap each
year. Sidewalk repairs also use up a great
deal of money derived from tha levy and
some of the walks constructed are not of any
particular use to the people.
In some sections ot the city walks have
been constructed on the prairie and electric
street lights are maintained nearly a block
away from any residence. These improve
ments aie secured by ward councllmcn and
are made for the purpose of establishing
councllmanlc credit In the various wards
regardless of the expense to the general tax
payers. In order to pay for the improve
ments ordered within the last few months a
much larger levy will be needed next year ,
or else a change In the charter will have to
bo made. Some are inclined to the opinion
that annexation is the only solution of the
problem , but It Is a question whether Omaha
would accept the responsibility at this time.
Others say that a big levy Is needed In order
to provide a sinking fund for the bonds
coming due. Those who have the Interests
of the city at heart assert that good con
servative business men are needed at the
head of administrative affairs In order to
stop the leaks and thus make the levy go as
far as possible.
At a meeting of a few uuslness men a few
nights ago the matter of public leiks wafc
discussed and the statement was made that
one official in the police department had
sent In a bill for $50 for postage for ono
year. This means that during the period of
twelve months the police department sent
out 2,500 letters , or over sixty letters a day.
Thfl city treasurer and city clerk do not
send out half this number of letters in ono
day and the ofher departments less than half
this number , so , unless there Is a leak , there
must bo some mistake In the bill sent In.
Other leaks of a similar nature can bo
pointed out and It is the intention of the
Commercial club to look up these matters
with an Idea of not only stopping the leaks ,
but of advocating tbo selection of good men
for ofllco In the spring.

Tuesday evening a meeting of those inter
ested in the reorganization of the public
library will bo held at the council chamber.
It Is understood that only those who con
tributed to the original formation will be
allowed a volco in the selection of n get ot
directors. This plan Is generally favored , as
It is considered that only those who spent
their money to purchase books and pay the
expenses of the library which was main
tained for eomo time should bo granted the
privilege of voting on n now board of di
rectors.
