And now cometh the season when things theatrical hold little of Interest for the public at large. It's too blsmd hot for one reason and another reason Is that there's mighty little doing. All the stars have gone Into retirement more or less artlght for the purpose of storing up new energy that they may twinkle with un dlmmed luminosity during another season. The little ones who shine in the light of the stars and who have been sufQclently provident ars "resting" some plaee, while those who were not like the ant of the proverb are either forced to seek their uncle" or do stunts with summer stocks for cakes and coffee. In most of the west ern cities, Omaha Included, the summer took company will keep the Thespian tem ple's fires burning slowly, while out-of- door vaudeville at roof garden or ummr garden or beer garden, as the rase may be, will keep alive the memories of the various things that were thought to be funny or clever or pathetic last winter. One may escape any of these by staying at home and watering the flowers or cutting the grass. At all events, attendance Is not compulsory. But so many people feel Im pelled to do something during the long summer evenings and so frequently there Is nothing to do but go to the theater or to one of the gardens and thus the patronage Is likely to be always on a paying basis. Omaha Is to be well looked after in the way of summer amusements this year. A: Boyd'a theater the Ferris Stock company will put on two standard plays each week, most of them well known comedies, with now and then a thriller Just to show that can be done. Mr. Ferris promises a better grade of acting than was given here ast summer. At Krug's park the regular out-door music and vaudeville show will be given during the season under even better conditions than those which made that garden so popular last summer. Courtland Beach will be open and will add bathing and boating to Its other attrac tions and Lake Manawa will do business at the old stand, so there will be no lack of some place to go for those who seek surcease from the heat at home and can pot find relief In golf or Its attendant de lights. The Ferrts company begins Its season at a matinee performance today and the Krug park and Courtland beach openings come later In the week. Coming- Events. The Ferrts Stock company gives the first performance of Its summer engagement at the Boyd this afternoon. The opening bill will be Nat Goodwin's "In Miziourt." This play will be continued until Wednesday night. Thursday night the comedy drama Denlse" will succeed It and continue for the balance of the week. Both produc tions will be given with special scenery. William Karris, the scenic artist who haa been painting the scenery used by the Woodward 8tock company during the last season, has been engaged for the summer by Mr. Ferris. The roster of the princi pals of the new company la as follows: Dick Ferris, Orace Hayward, Malale Cecil, Robert Blaylock, W. Elmore, Lawrence Barbour, Thaddeus Gray, Joule Haines, Miss Elmore, W. Winters, Ted Brackett and Kittle DeLorme. Mr. Ferris will enact the comedy roles In all of the pro ductions and Miss Hayward the leading female roles. For two performances only, matinee and evening today, at the Trocadero, Manager Rosenthal will present his combination professional and amateur acts. A very large number of acts have volunteered, among which are the Madison Square Cycle Whirl; Tennis Robblns, the Omaha songstress, who Is better known aa the Girl from Southern Tennessee;" Dottle Dimple, fascinating aoubrette; Ezra Ken dall of the vaudeville stage; Rivera and Madden, Jones and Revere, Madeline Franks, Junle McCree, Allen and Mcin tosh, Burt Jones, Imogens Comer, Rathbone sisters, Phyllis Ruffell Idylla Vyner, Tom Anderson, the Amphlon quartet and others. Manager Rosenthal will also appear In an original specialty. Krug Park will open Its second-season next Friday, May 30, with many improve ments, and the first of a line of polite and high-class attractions on which Its dependance Is placed to repeat last season's success. The car Una baa been double tracked to the entrance expediting the transit of large crowds with comfort.

Handsome store rooms and an Icehouse have been erected to replace those destroyed by fire. A new Ice cream and soda water pavilion in which Is Installed the largest soda foun tain in the city, haa been added. Tha cafe haa been enlarged and put In the hands of an experienced caterer, who promisee a superior cuslne. Hot and cold meals will be served. Steska and English mutton chops will be a specialty. The landscape gardener has added trees shrubbery snd flowerbeds and the lighting power have been Increased. The afternoon and evening con certs will be made a prominent feature of the dally entertainments. Huater's new concert band of thirty pieces haa been en gaged to give a series of progrsms ss varied as Bellstedt's, with which organi zation It will be remembered Director Alvln Hunter was a aololot. The programs will be rhnnged meekly and oftener l( nec essary. The "Passion Play" will be another of the principle features. This Is a new moving picture reproduction of the great religious drama at Oberammergau In colors The Him Is over 20.000 feet long and In lta entirety requires over two hours to run. Balloon secessions and parachute leaps will be given by Aeronaut Sam Murphy. Riding on the burros, the merry-go-round, swings, the mutoscopes, bowling alley and other devices will aa before constitute some of the pastimes. A red and golden baboon were added to the zoo last week and more animals are being negotiated for. After once entering the park the perform ance will all be free. Ante Room Echoes Westward the star of lodgedom takea Its way and many eyea are turned to the Great Salt Lake of Utah and over and be yond to the portals of the Golden Gate, for to the west this year go the Shrlnera. the KnlghU of Pythias and the Elks. The Shrlnera we have with us first, for the first delegation to the slope will pass through Omaha next Wednesday, when El Kaaba temple of Cedar Rapids will be going to the Imperial council meeting. The Iowans have given themselves plenty of time and they will see much of the country and the people before the meeting of the council. By going ahead they will also have time to stop enroute longer than those whose schedules allow for but little more than ordinary running time, as will be the case with Tangier temple, which will not leave until June 4, when the other delegations to the west will have passed. The Elks will meet In Salt Lake next month and an Omaha man la slated for ex alted ruler In the person of George P. Cronk. There la no other candidate for the position In the field and none will be mentioned If present plans are carried out. The old divisions In the order have beon cured. No scars remain, but as one of the men who brought about the reunion and kept the affairs of the Elks out of the civil courts, Mr. Cronk la held in high es teem by the persons who were in either faction. This In a great measure accounts for the fact that he will have no opposition. In August the biennial convention of the supreme lodge. Knights of Pythias, will be held In San Francisco, and as hundreds of thousands of Knights of Pythias will be there from all over the country and the event a memorable one It Is hoped that Ne braska lodge No. 1, and Omaha especially, will have a goodly representation there at that time. A rate of $45 for the round trip has been secured. This Is less than the regular one-way rate. All members In tending to make the trip will please give their names to J. W. Fyfe, keeper of rec ords and seals, at Haydens' store, or to Will C. Matthews, master of finance, whose office Is In the United States National bank building. The Knights of Khorassan of Des Moines purpose to attend the aesaion of the Im perial palace, to be held in San Francisco in August, concurrently with the supreme lodge of Knights of Pythias, a special train passing through Omaha. The members of Moquadem temple wishing to be of that party will please send their names and ad dresses to John W. Fyfe, secretary, care Hayden Bros.' store. Monday night Nebraska lodge No. L Knights of Pythias, had an unusually In teresting and sprightly meeting. Two weeks ago the lodge Inaugurated a rather novel procedure In the meeting. On each meet ing night a member la appointed to pre pare a paper on his particular buslnesa or calling, to be read by him at the next or subsequent session, when a general dls cusslon Is had on the subject by the mem bers. Last Monday night V. C. Setter read a paper on telegraphy, showing the progress made In the science, lta benefit to the busi ness of the world and lta tremendoua force to civilization. Speeches were delivered by Dr. Merriam of Triune lodge. Judge Berka of Jan Hue lodge, Chancellor Commander Wagner of Omaha lodge and others. Mon day night Prelate A. A. Heath will read a paper on "Good Beef," and how best to ob tain a moiety of It In these day of strenu ous prices. For the first meeting night In June Brother Brltt haa been appointed to prepare a paper on law, and the duty of Pythlans to It. Thla to be followed by a paper from Brother Cooper on equity. It origin and meaning, lta relation to our or der and the good It serves. Arrangement are being made for me mortal exercise to be held on the after' noon of the second Sunday In June In Myr tie hall. Fifteenth and Douglas streets, to which the public are Invited. In all llkell hood Judge Jacob Fawcett will be chosen to deliver the memorial oration. Commtt- toes have already been appointed to attend to the decoration of the grave of deceased members on that day. Thursday evening, June S, at 7: SO, Head Consul W. A. Nortbcott will deliver an ad dress to members of the society of Modern Woodmen of America at Crelghton hall Members of the order In Omaha, South Omaha and Council Bluff are Invited to be present. Clan Gordon, . No. 63, Order of Scottish Clans, held its regular meeting early Tues day evening and after a big braw young Scotsman had been Initiated, the door were thrown open to the Scottlab people, and about W0 women and men were present to enjoy one of the clan' socials. Among the number on the program were songs by Clansman R. W. Watson, Robert Kerr and Adam Jameson. Judge Shields, Mr. Ken nedy and Mrs. Shields recited. Clansman W. J. Hlslop gave evidence of musical abil ity by his manipulation of tha phonograph and Clansman Lindsay blew a few tunes from ha'penny whistle. Ioe cream and cake were served and dance followed. Mis Jean Is Falconer, the Nebraska gold medalist, gave the Highland fling, with her usual grace and finish. A delightful entertainment was given Thursday evening at Royal Arcanum hall In The Bee building on the opening of May flower garden. No. 1. the first of the Gar deners' local garden to blossom In Omaha. In spite of Inclement weather the hall was packed to . overflowing, and many were turned away.

Musical Here beglnneth one of a series of articles on "Muelc Considered Nationally." The series has been lnaplred by a circular, writ ten by Mr. Kowalsky of San Francisco, which waa sent to me by a friend In Wash ington, D. C. This circular has the fol lowing hesdlng: Fifty-seventh Congress, First Session Sen ate uorument No. .ff9. National Conservator' of Music and Art. Argument in favor of a National Con servatory of Music and Art, by Henry 1. Kowalsky of Fin Francisco, Cal. tTo ac company 8. 5872.) Mr. Kowalsky has developed hi scheme thoroughly and It is to be hoped that some thing will come of It The circular t divided Into sections and It Is my Intention to consider the best points each week In this column until the circular has been thoroughly ventilated. All that Is necessary for any of these great causes Is a compound elixir of agita tion, exploitation and ventilation. In developing mines and mining we might also consider music and art. Because a thing has never been done Is no reason that It should not be done. And then we do not need the consent of any nation on earth, if we can get Americans ta want It. If they want it they will have It. Every musician should therefore see to it that Americans are Induced to feel the need of a national conservatory of music and art. Let us take up this week the first phase of the subject: "To estsbllah one conser vatory In the city or vicinity of Washing ton, D. C, which will be a building con taining forty studios sufficiently large for classes of fifty student of music, and twenty studioa for painting; one large as sembly concert ball for ensemble. It Is to be known and called The American Na tional Conservatory of Music and Art. The second to be established of a similar char acter at New York; another at or near Chl cngo, and a fourth In the vicinity of San Francisco. Certain states are to be ap portioned to each conservatory and to bo known as the district to which the pupils of the several states that shall be so ap portioned will attend. Only ad vanced pupila In music and art will be ad mitted, after passing an examination, the standard of which will be fixed by the board of regents or directors. To control and govern these conservatories, a national board of regents shall consist of the president of the United States, as an ex-officlo member; the president pro tem pore of the senate, the speaker of the house, the chairmen of the senate and house committees on education, and seven citizen selected by the president. They shsir be known as the governing and con trolling board, who shall elect the general director, whose salary will be fixed by the said board. The general board will ap point advisory boards from the citizens of the respective districts to be hereafter de signated, which boards shall select and em ploy a director who shall take charge of the specific territory for which he will ba named- Only a man devoid of judgment will deny the power of music to elevate, educate and benefit the citizens of any place. The human soul ha for hi birthright the law of rhythm, which la the first great law of music. A local business man said to me the other day: "We have seen the In fluence of music at our band concert and we aee that the people want It." True In deed, but still there ie more to be said and more to be done. How about the Com mercial club? Is It not neglecting a duty In that It evolve no scheme for the de velopment of local musical affairs T How about the possibility of an annual May festival. Nothing will bring us Into such close contact with our neighboring town a thi. Let us try it! But, no, some few wise business men, who don't like musio themselves, ignore the possibilities, and there you are. I there no one buslnesa man who will take the matter up? It Is with regret that I chronicle the departure of Charles W. Clark, the emin ent artist, who will leave Chicago next month to take up hia abode in Paris. Mr. Clark la one of the few great American singer. He la an artist to ths core. He will leave America. He will have no real successor. Why la It that American teacher must go abroad In order to teach Americans? Every good artist who leaves this country to take up a residence abroad weaken 1 HEADACHE, HEARTBURN, NAUSEA, iff Uv--r-Wfc. a i r I' liosiA'io ,w- m r 1 aS a) i a 71 ft New York, N. Y.

American strength on the side of music and strengthens European strength. But what of It? Mr. Clark could sing a recital to hundred ot interested people and and get but scant notice In the Chicago presa. But let "Dirty Dick" stsb "Leary Llrzie" and the charming life of the dear old tenderloin will be given special men tion in Chicago' dallies. And what Is true of Chicago Is true of other plecea, and mark you the newspa pers are not altogether to blame. They print what their patrons and their adver tisers expect. If this Is not true, why do we never hear a complaint from aald pa trons and advertisers? One of the foremost teacher In Berlin today is advertised aa George Ferguson. He la. I am told, an American, through and through. Then Charles W. Clark will have Paris for bis permanent address. Just like Clarence Eddy. My friends, musical and otherwise, let us quit shooting firecrackers on the Fourth of July, or else let us boom our American product for a while. Locally, the same condition exists. How many pupils go east from Omaha to acquire a musical education, which could be just aa thoroughly attained In Omaha? I mean by that, pupils go east expecting to do great thing In tha "mystic east" with some teacher who Is "In the east," but haa prob ably come from some town smaller than Omaha; while In Omaha we have good teachers who have come from the "east" and have settled In the west for business reasons. It la all very well for Omaha musicians to get east for further development, but let them see to It that they have secured every thing that ran be secured In Omaha first. This I "standing up for Omaha." Up to date there Is not a single Instance of an Omaha atudent going east to study, and accomplishing any great thing, except perhaps Miss Mary Munchoff. There have been many departures, but mighty few de buts. Many have left and have. In vulgar parlance "got left." Many have wandered but who ha won? There are aa good musicians and musical Instructors In Omaha today as there are In any other city, proportionately speaking. If you think there is no musical atmosphere In Omaha, It Is because you have never been drawn Into It. It Is here. It 1 here to stay. Get Into It and help make It general. There are some Omaha people who per sistently attempt to discourage students by saying, "Oh, So-and-So Is no good. You go east." In other words, "Why, how can he be any good, he lives In Omaha?" Now, let u be honest. The man or woman who makes such a remark means exactly what I have written and Is a disgrace to the name citizen. I repeat, Omaha Is well equipped to take care of the student, and some Omaha teach ers are recognized nationally. Let us stand by each other aa the Commercial club does by Its members. And let us all pray for the speedy coming of the ttmo when the Commercial club of Omaha will recognize the value of muslo and musi cians to the city of Omaha ere It 1 too late ere It la too late! And the romance ha left us even In the old-fashioned hurdy-gurdy or hand organ. Nowadays .we see a mechanical music box hauled round the street by a horse. I suppose that the enterprising vendor of street music realized that hi muslo was composed of "chestnuts" and that, there fore, a caee of "horse chestnuts" could be developed. The recital given by the pupil of Mr. Slgmund Landsberg at the First Congre gational church Thursday night was a moat delightful event. Usually a pupil' reci tal Is looked upon with ennui, aa a specie of "langwelllge geschlchte," but such was not the case In Mr. Landsberg' program. Every pupil was thoroughly equipped and despite the Inclemency of the weather a large audience assembled to hear the stu dents do themselves proud. .Mr. Landsberg Is a born teacher and his work waa proven by muslclanly qualitiea displayed by each of his pupila. Lack of space In this column prevents an Individual mention of each exponent. ' On Wednesday evening Mr. Kelly gave a recital of aongs In his studio under the caption, "A Spring Day In Arcady." All ot the songs bad some bearing on the Idea of a spring day. In scenes bucolic and pastoral. The students assisting were the Misses Mabel Swift, Hilda Barrow, Agnea Weller, Bertha Philllppl, Christine Peter- CONSTIPATION, BELCHING, INDIGESTION, FLATULENCY, DYSPEPSIA: Are symptoms of a weak and disordered stomach, and. 1! you are a sufferer from any J of them and want to get well we would urge you to give this wonderful medicine a fair trial.

Minnie Meysr snd Mr. Plnnsy. It I alway gratifying to record tha suc cess of an Omaha musician, but still more so to announce that after securing sue- cease elsewhere he will return to Omaha and take up his abode her. Therefore, I announce with much mu sical pride and personal gratification that Mr. Robert Cuscaden, violinist, will return to Omaha In ths fall and will open hi studio In Omaha. Mr. Cuscaden I sn artlat and a gentleman. In every sens of the word, and hi experience In routine In the great unrivalled Berlin Symphony or chestra a portrait of which la before me, as I write, and In which hla physiognomy looms up distinctly, with Nlklsch (another American gone abroad) conducting thla experience will be a great thing for him here. When Robert Cuscaden left here, a glowing tribute was paid him In this col umn, and a brilliant future waa predicted at the time. He ha fulfilled all expecta tion and I welcome htm back with all ths Joy ot my nature. Ths work done by the chorus st Hastings, Neb., was highly complimented by Mr. McCreary, the well known tenor, who waa engaged to do the tenor part ot tha work. Alfred R. Gaul' cantata. "The Holy City," Mr. McCreary mad a pronounced hit, according to the Hastings papers, and he Is enthusiastic about the work of the chorus and orchestra under Mr. Rees. Mr. Jules Lumbard was the baa soloist, and Omaha haa every reason to be proud of the two representatives Bent down to assist In the nrndllrttnn It I. tft hm honed that Other Nebraska cities will look to Omaha for ' the fulfillment of concert engagements. It will be an Inspiration to them to hear the work of Omaha' best artists. Many so called "atari" who come from country towns and happen to reside in cities larger than Omaha, are receiving engagement which Omaha singers could take car of In splendid shape. The last musical meeting of the Woman' club for this season will be held at the First Congregational church tomorrow at 1:30 p. m. The participant will be Mlwe Ella Ethel Free, Elche, Hancock, Paulson, Mesdames Ely, Urquhart, Cudaby and Munteterlng and Dr. and Mr. Baetens. Mr. E. P.
