Oordon'a salary as police Judge of Omaha for the month of January, 1902. Tha judge told Mr. Eller that his appllca tlon might look all right on paper, but that the court had a perfect light to and did take judicial notice ot tha facta that Gordon had submitted himself as a candi date for the office of police Judge at the last election, that he had been defeated that his opponent.

Amusements. At the Boy Walker Whiteside, who comes, annually to Omaha, opeaed bla engagement at the Boyd with a matinee performance Wednes day ot J. U. Pengrew's romaatlo comedy drama, ."Heart and Sword." The piece Is not a new so, Mr. Whiteside having pre sented It here during two ot his previous visits. It .possesses sufficient merit to be acceptable again and two audiences, both of generous prdportlons, saw it Wednesday. It la of tha. Anthony Hope type, with princes, princesses, prime ministers' and ether royal personages of principalities of tha Rurltanla class as figures. The author tanglea and untanglea bis characters In trus melo-dramatlc style and many ot the Inci dents furnish no small amount of excite ment. There are fewer hairbreadth escapes and fewer so-called "gun plays" than are to be found In tha ordinary "thrtUer," .but enough to furnish for the audience plenty et excitement. Few actors are capable of play' Ing a romantic role one night and rising successfully to the height of the Shakes pereaa tragedy the pext, Mr. Whltealde Is one of them, and no matter whether It be as the negligent but handsome Prince Tic- tor of Helnhault or the crafty Shylock of Venice, he la equally capable. Whiteside's mannerisms at times lead one te believe that the actor Is not without a certain amount of eelf-cOnaclousnets of. ability or perhapa even a trifle egotistical. Few actors are not afflicted more or less with this ail ment and It la perhapa not altogether fair to criticise Mr. Whiteside upon this point. His company this season Is one of the best he baa ever had la his support, while the production he gives bla pieces la quite satisfactory, although, of course, not elabo rate. Tonight he will be seen "in Shake spear'a "Merchant ot Venice,"- with which he cloees his engagement. . LOCAL BREVITIES.'
