The Illustrate 1 song, which for genera tions haa beei getting close to nature's heart by exploiting In dolorous tones domes tic griefs and unrequited loves, receives a just rebuke In Hilda Thomas' burlesque act at the Oipbeum this week, and it took well. Her akit, with Lou Hall as tie In genuous Rube, is as funny as anything that has been produced on the Orpheum stsge for a long while. Two stunts that are entirely new In the western vaudeville circuit are produced by Host brothers and the three Meers. In the first big rubber balls are made to per form feats apparently in violation of gravi tation's law, and the second presents a combination bicycle and alack-wre act that brings Into play some Ingenious machinery, Joe Flynn. the monologue artist, appears with fresh line of witticisms.

SOME GOVERNORS SHUT OUT Ritual Committee of Kslista of Ak-Bar-Ben Fxcladea !tts-Mm-bers from Dra. " The bans are up at the den of the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben, and the only men aside from the employes actively engaged In the work who are allowed Inside of the build ing are Edgar Allen, M. A. Hall. R. C. Howe and R. S. Wilcox, members of the ritual committee. In former years all members of the Board of Governors were given free access to the building while the work of arranging for the Initiations was In progress, but this yeax the nine mem bers of the board who are not on the ritual committee are to be treated as strangers and are not to be permitted to pass the gates which conceal from the general pub lic the mysteries which lie between the workaday world and the realms of peace and pleasure beyond the outside veil of the court of King Ak-Bar-Ben VIII. ' This action was the result of a piece of diplomacy on the part of the committee. which felt chagrined because the Board of Governors was too inquisitive. The com mittee was preparing the Initiation cere mony, which Is to be something un'.aue, and its work was not entirely finished accord ing to the Ideas of the majority of the mem bers. rAt the last meeting of the board the members who are not on the ritual committee desired to know what that com mittee was doing, and, when told that, a report was not ready, tbey immediately adopted a resolution calling upon the ritual committee for a report. So quick was the response that the majority of the board was surprised. . The report briefly stated what the committee had undertaken and closed with a recommendation that every person, Including the members of the Beard of Gov ernors not on the ritual committee, be ex cluded from the building at all times until the committee Invited them to receive Initi ation Into the mysteries surrounding the throne. The report was read and unanimously adopted and now the members of the Board of Governors are on the dutslde and can only surmise as to the preparations being made. .

The Area of the big heating plant were extinguished, the car penter shop adjoining waa Inundated, while in the storeroom everything that would float in ths way of mathematical, astron omical and engineering apparatus was washed out upon the campus. Several Oats in the neighborhood also suffered as a result of the teamster's in fraction of a city ordinance. The Board of Public Works was notified by telephone shortly after o'clock and ss soon as possible a gang of workmen was sent out to remove the obstruction.

The protest of the Omaha Fl-e Under writers' association to the board oof con trol of the Western Inaurance union la having considerable effect at the present meeting of that board. In a recent issue the Chicago Tribune shows that the board is considering this protest and that the Instructions to advance rates are aot being received by agents in all parts of the terri tory affected. The Tribune says: Officials of the Western Union are busily engaged on several new schedules to be apptked to classes found to be persistently unprofitable. The new mercantile schedule doea not apply satisfactorily to all classes of towns, ami work la beli.g rushed on a new schedule which thai! rcT towns that are penalised more thaa thirty points by the mercantile schedule. New schedules for the rating of paper mills, glass factories and lumber mills are also in course of prepare Hon, hut thee will not be pro mulgated until they have been thoroughly teeled. .. The snust stubborn opposition the Increase In rates has yet encountered comes from the Omaha Fire I'nd-rwrtters" association. Its members are Miidlne to 'their com panies resolutions, adopted unanimously at : U a recent meeting, representing the thlrty slx local agencies, refusing to ask for the advance; These resolutions, which have been a black eye to the movement, call attention to the fact that the advance was agreed upon as soon as the antl-rompact law was declared unconntltutlonal, and that only a third of the companies represented by the membership have sent circulars In structing for the Increase and that the Inspection bureau has not been ordered to secure It. The resolutions go on: "Resolved. That in the judgment of the thirty-six insurance firms here and now represented, residents of Omaha, it waa unwise and unjust for the Insurance com panies to have agreed to make a flat ad vance In territory abandoned by them and then not require all companies supporting such measure to absolutely require their agents and representatives to enforce such action." ' The resolutions further provided that until le-rated the present advisory rates be ad hered to, and that the inspection bureau be requested to at once employ enough raters to apply the schedules.

CONVERTED EASTERNER IS ENTHUSIASTIC Located la Nebraska Relaetaatly, bat Jow Rsperte Great Thins of Hie Srw Home, aad Tells Why. "The people of the South Plstte vsllev expect to see work resumed on the big Irrigation ditch, which Is eventually to rxtend along the Platte river from the Wyoming line to Bridgeport, Neb:." said Dr. J. H. Long of Balrd, Neb., at the Mer chants' hotel yesterday.. The doctor Is returning to his home after a visit with his relatives In Min nesota. Four years ago be came from th east to hunt and looked over what was then sn expanse cf dry sod. People Inv ted him to remain and make his borne with them and he finally accepted under pro test. Today on. this same territory are the flourishing towns of Brldg port, Mlnatara and Scotts Bluff, and the doctor Is )ut about the meet enthusiastic Nebraskan In that whole section of the stste. What the raaal Will Do. "Except Omaha's Jobbers nd wholesalers the people of the eastern part of the state dot realize what advancement we are making out there, nor what a future we have before us," he said. "In the lat two years' some of our land has Jumped from 15 to $30 per acre and quarter sections that were offered then for $1,000 cannot b bought now for $4,000. This farmers' canal that I mentioned will boost prices still higher. It will reclaim 100.000 acres and can be depended on, for It is big In fact.

Delay la Only Temporary. "The new company has already bought the old one's Interests and I think work would have been begun before this had It not been for the death of the head of the trust company, . which temporarily de lays matters. "For the first year alter the railroad got Into that section, easterners looked at the country dubiously. Just as I once did, but now we are catching them from everywhere and during this last year there has been an immigration that discounts anything the section ever saw before. The population has more than doubled, these new towns have taken a start, each has its new church buildings, new four-room school houses, newspapers and banks. The Balrd bank's last statement shows deposits of about $60,000, and the population of the town is, as yet, only about 300. "Alfalfa seems the principal magnet In the drawing of new farmers. And well It should be, for It has been bringing $3 and $3.50 per ton. In the stack, and we raise three crops a year, each averaging two to three tons per acre. Hogs have flour ished, there has never . been a case of cholera and their breeding is becoming a great industry. Potatoes are to be raised in great quantities hereafter, also, experiments having shown that under the new conditions we can raise them easily. And am I glad I located there? Well, you bet I am. 'That section Is td be heard from often and always favorably hereafter." FOR SUNDAYS AND EVENINGS Clerks la Grocery Stores Begin Caan palgm for More Leisure Time. .

The of ficers of the union, with Influential mem bers of the Retail Grocers' assaclation. have been working on 'the plan for several weeks, but It Is only recently thst they were In shape to do active work. A peti tion has been drawn up and will be signed by those persons who are behind the move ment and will then be presented to every grocer in the city. So far about forty have signified their Intention of signing the agreement. It Is not expected that the agreement will be effective until it ki signed by a large majority of the grocers at least, but It la possible that the bouses signing will tor a time live up to Its provisions re gardless of the action of the others. This course is pursued In some of the dry gocds houses, and the managers believe that their sales have been Increased through the patronage of persons who believe In giving the laboring people shorter hours. - It was stated some time ago in certain Omaha newspapers that the Grocery Clerk's union- would undertake to have stores opened at 8 o'clock In the morning. This report occasioned some adverse comment on the part of employers, who feel that It could not be .done without Injuring the business, and for this reason members of the union desire to say that such action vi as never contemplated.

Health Commissioner Ralph visited the "Winspear triangle," Just north of the Burt street Intake, yesterday In quest of ths rottfng carcstses which, acc rdlnj ti local publication, are contaminating the city water. ' "I found the bones of seven or elrht carcasses," sa:d he. "but they were so located as not to endanger the clty'a water supply unless there rh ull be a frs'iet. A' present they are lying high and dry. at a considerable distsnce from the bank of tha river. I have not decided as yet what to do in the way of a report to the AdvUory board concerning them, but the city wl'.l have to do something to prevent the dump ing of carcasses and garbage In that lo cality.

"The service is 'growing Id popularity," aald Assistant Postmaster Woodard, "but not so rapidly as wish.

Now, the messenger service rhsrges various prices, depending upon the length of time required to deliver the letter and ths dis tance to be traveled. The t'nlted States Postofllce department takes the letter three or four miles as cheaply as It all! three or four blocks and 10 cents pars the bill. It Is part of the service which should be appreciated by the public aad patronized, and it would increase the receipts of the office materially if the publle could ts made to understand Its advantages."

They would as a rule put the Compound in regular medicine bottles and label it Tonic,' or other names, but I knew it was your Com pound, and have seen them fill it in prescription bottles. I have never seen anything but happy results from its use; inflammation and ulceration has been relieved and cured in a few weeks, especially where your Sanative Wash has been applied "also.
