tain people to hold their positions. Some
tlmo Rgo the personal organ of Dr. H. K.
Wolfe, the superintendent of Instruction,
gavo It out that Wolfo did not dc.jlrc a re

thnt this was only a blind. For several
days past John McMillan, T. f. "Nolan and
W. J. Urcnnan huvo been out among the
populists and free silver do in.).: rut.? trying
to muster up a forco to Insl-it upon iho re
appointment of Wolfe. In this connection
It Is asserted lnlluenco nas ')i.n brought
to bear on ono member .if tho board who
has been bitterly opposed to Wolfe and la3
demanded' that his contract be considered
agalu ut tho spring eiocttoi.1. Jut what

and Urcnnan has, wlU be Bliunp when Iho,

present members' 'of the brtaVd, the threo
alleged leaders mentioned are all "has

Wolfe.
Several applications for the po.Mtloj t.f

It Is stated by members, nut only wants
to run his department, but h) wants nud
tries to be tho wholo thing and this Its
caused a number of cxprysgnru In open

City Clerk Shrlglcy has received 1.000
dog tags from an eastern factory and corn-
menced yesterday to dlstrlbuto them among
ownprs of canines nt to much per ills
tribute. This year dogs will bo compelled
to havo a tax which costs $1, while fomalo
anlmnls will bo charged 2. No mistakes
run bo mado this ycar, as tho tags for males
and females aro different.
Under the new dog ordinance which Is
now In existence the dog catcher receives
his support from tbo sale and impounding
of dogs and consequently tbo free list has
been entirely suspended. In former years
It has been the custom of members or the
council and other city officials, as well as
a few favored outsiders, to dron Into the
clerk's ofneo about dog tag time and go
away with a tag taken from the bottom of
the stack. Now this year not even dupll
cato tags will be Issued by the clerk. How
ever, those who havo once pftld for a dog
license will he rt quested to keep the receipt
Issued by the authorities andTn case the
tag Is stolen or loit and the dog Impounded
tho receipt, upon presentation at the pound,
will secure the release of the bow-wow.
The dog catcher will start out bright and
early next Wednesday morning loaded for
buslnc and It behooves dog owners to at
tend to the securing of tag at once.

Applicants for liquor licenses nre worried
to some extent over the prospect of paying
$1,200 this year Jn place of $700 last ytnr.
The council has not seen fit to meet e..id
repeal the ordinance' now In existence which
requires that all dealers In liquors j.ny an
occupation tax of J200 annually. Somo
action may possibly be tnken Monday night,
but If a repealing ordinance Is Introu'ic.-.l
an adjournment must cither be tnken or n
special meeting call"d. From the look of
things the dealer's In malt am! spirituous
liquor will bo forced to x taint fo!- -Its In
creased license and the old occupation (fx.
The city really needs !ho money nnd In
order to maintain cxlftliig nondjtlom. the
revenue from tho occupation tax ctm be
used to good advantage. Thero is a new
lire hall to equip, street -epalrs to be undo
and a hundred and ouo other things to lie
done, all with no funds. The new charter
positively prohibits' the transfer of funds,
but occupation lax money, it Is understood,
does not come under the ban.
From Inquiries made It appears that sa
loon keepers will pay the occupation tax
and submit a written protest nt the time
of payment. There Is some talk of taking
tho matter Into the courts, but whether
this can bo done or not remains to be scon,
as opinions of attorneys differ. At any rate
those paying license fees now will be com
pelled to put up the full amount.

MUSIC.
3 vSr wa?at?x?s,,,
It was only to be expected that the Boyd
theater would be packed last night to tts
capacity, for the attraction was twofold,
the reoppenranee of Henry B. Itoncy and
his wonderful Dlntchford Kavanagh and the
professional appearance In Omaha of Mastet
Harry Cockrcll, tho young soprano, who
has captured every city In which "Honey
and his Boys" have presented themselves.
The concert was under the auspices of the
Teachers' Annuity association.
A visit from Mr. Itoncy and his musical
neophytes Is of very positive vnlue to a
city from a musical standpoint, because ho
Is an apostle of the legitimate, the artistic
and the refined In concert work. Many a
young person will hnve been stirred to deed
of valor lo musical arenas by the work if
the youthful musicians. Before Mr. Honey
took up his present pursuit of touring tho
couutry with his specialists he hnd already
won enviable distinction ns ono of ;ho
very foremost musical leaders In chunii
work In Chicago. Ills laurels have not been
won lightly, but by sheer forco, magnetic
personality and Indomitable perseverance,
backed by a thorough musical temperament
and a well-balanced mentality.
The work of the young singers. Masters
Jamlo Crlppen, Harold Mourer and Harry
Cockrell, was alt that the most exacting
could demand. Dlntchford Kavanagh, vho;o
clear, beautiful voice delighted Omaha poo
plo somo ten years ago, was the snme you'.n
In modesty of manner and In charm of per
sonality, but he has broadened past com
prehension on the artistic side. His voice
Is of the true ring nnd he sings wIFIl gen
nine unction and u power far beyond 'lis
years. Tracy Holbrook, the youthful vio
linist, had none of the mannerisms of ho
prodigy Idea, but Impressed one rather ns
nti earnest young student with a gift which
he was cultivating with ardor. The en
semble work was excellent.
Mr Itoncy nnd his boys will give a nut
Inee concert at tho First Congregational
church this afternoon.
STATUTE IS CONSTITUTIONAL

fur Wo in n.
Acting Police Judge Crawford has rulsd
that tho statute limiting the number of
hours which female employes may work is
constitutional. William Wenham, owner of
tho Nonpareil laundry, brought the validity
of this law Into question In a suit ngalnst
,,,
.
m.
in for allowing female employes to work
more than sixty hours a week. The hear
Ing of the case was continued In police
court Thursday afternoon.
Lena Smith, the complainant, nnd Mamie
Dlnecn, Mary Quade, Mnsey Daniels, Lot
tic Craven and Lizzie Falconer, former em
ploycs of tho laundry, wcro put upon "he
stand for the state and testified ns to I lit;
hours nnd conditions under which th'iy
were compelled to work. Each named spa
clflc dates upon which she was required lo
work from thliteen to fourteen hours, and
no testimony was brought out that any of
them were ever paid for more than ten
hours' labor. An effort to Introduce testi
mony rcgnrdlng tho system of fines In oper
ation at the laundry was ruled out by Judg?
Crawford oft tho ground of Immateriality
The second count of the complaint, alleg
Ing thnt Wenham had failed to post .h
notices required "by law, was not provtl
because the state could not show that h
deputy labor commissioner had furnish
the form of the notices, which Is a part i.
his duties.
The state rested at 3 o'clock and the hi-ar
