It la not a complete list ef all that will be seen during the winter, however, for sev era! other good thlnga are atlll under ne gotiation, and Mr. Burgess hope to be able to .pleasantly surprise the people of Omaha with some future announcement. When the Boyd reopen on change will he noticed. For the convenience of the patrona of the house. Manager Burgess ha removed the box office from the west to the eaat aide of the lobby. Tbla will allow the room that has been used for the box office to be devoted to the usea of the public. Manager Burgesa will retain hla private of fice, but the ante-room will be open, and can be used aa a smoking room, or what ever the friends of the manager car to put It to. The telephone will not be re moved, and every convenience tor the ac commodation of patron will be found. In th meantime the old smoking room at the east aide of th auditorium la atlll open. From the new box office Treasurer Eddie Monaghan'a face will amlle on a boat of frtenda limited onty by the number of patrons of th house. It waa planned by Messrs. Woodward A Burgeas that Mr. Monaghan ahould go to Kansaa City on the opening of the new Willi Wood theater there to be treasurer, but after the year'a delay tn the opening the managerial Arm determined that It would be more expedient to place J. W. Scott In charge of the box office at the new theater. Mr. Scott was very popular tn Omaha, and will be greatly missed, but hla successor Is equally well known and liked. He baa been Mr. Scott's assistant for several yeara, and hla advance to full charge of the box office has brought htm many congratulations. Mr. Burgeaa went to Kansas City on Thursday to assist la final preparattona for the opening of the new Willis Wood theater oa Monday night. This event was first set for October 1, 1901, but the builder decided to make' some slight alterations In the structure, and has accordingly spent 1100,000 more than h originally Intended In order to give to Kanaas City the finest theater building In the weat. At first It waa the plan to call It the Baltimore, but on reflec tion the leaaeea decided that no fitter title could be given the magnlfioont Thespian temple than that of Ita owner, and for him It waa named. Kansas City Is locally very much Interested in the opening, so much so that the manager turned th a! of eat for th first night over to a commit tee of dtlsena, who sold the tickets at auction. While ao fancy prices were realised, the aale waa complete and a sum amounting tn a little over $(.000 waa real ised. Amelia Bingham and her all-star company will present A Modern Magda len" for the opening bill. W. A. Bancroft, for many years dramatic critic of the Kan sas City Star, will manage th theater and John W. Scott of Omaha will be treasurer. Carl Belter, local manager for the Orpbeum circuit, la as busy as a nailer these days, getting his house In readiness for the opening oa September tl. At that time patrona of the Crelghton-Orpheum will find, the handsome theater shining like th beauty It Is. For several weeks painters and decorators hsve been at work, and the entire Inside of the large audi torium has been retlnted and newly frescoed, while the upholstery has been restored to Its original brightness. Dark green and gray Is the groundwork of the . design, and the result la not only pleas ing but restful to th eye. Mr. Relter aow haa matters In such stags that he Is certain aO wlU be ready before the o pea lug a 1 1 h t. He baa had some correspond eace with Mr. Martin Beck, secretary of the Orpheuta circuit, who tells .hla that a number of good thing have beea secured for the vaudeville season. "W will open the season," wrltee Mr. Beck, "with aa array of great specialties, which have beea collected by the Orpheum represent ative all ever the world. Among other are the Rlecobona brothers, th Atho family, th Del Bosq brother. 'Mad caps.' Valerie Berger and company, the Dumonds. Webb's aeala, the Qargnnys. tba Nevarros. the Hevaa family, Weyburns Jockey club. Leslie's dogs, the Freree de Lucca. Lea Freasetles, Andreessen brothers. Lieutenant Nobel, and others." Nearly all of thla list are European hits which are to be presented tn America for the first time this season. Indeed, the promise for winter's ntertalnment la Omaha la good. Bear afmer t the kUsart victim. Hla ta i rraocaK to stack ksas al been especially productlvs of matter for the public press, but be haa finally broken Into print. Over the telegraph wires comes the news that during the presentation of "Camilla" one of bla brother players fetched such a realistic swat across the claaslcal Miller noae that the red blood flowed co piously. Mr. Miller, being deeply In the part presumably that of Armaad acarcely noted what had happened, but after be bad slept off the fine artistic frenty, he discov ered that hla proboscis had been fractured In three separate and distinct places. A skillful nose carpenter of San Pranclaco haa temporarily repaired the damage by the Insertion of hollow plugs In either nos tril, and now when Mr. Miller draws a deep breath preparatory to the heaving of the necessary sighs for the proper subjec tion of the Lady of the Camellas, he must do it through a tube. There will be much trepidation throughout the length and breadth of the land, and auspenae that will amount very nearly to agony, until we are assured that Mr. Miller's nasal ap panage haa suffered no permanent Injury One cannot calmly contemplate the proba. blllty of this perfectly lovely stage hero and matinee Idol going about with an humpbacked beak like unto that of John Drew, or with a swaybacked affair aucb as made the fortune of Pat Rooney. Oh, good kind press agent In San Francisco, please hurry up and tell ua that Mr. Miller's noae la not permanently damaged, and that when the hollow pluga through which he now draws his Ufe-suatslnlng breath are re moved. It will be found as good aa new. If not aomewhat better. Maurice Campbell, husband and manager for Henrietta Crcaman. baa furnished aom copy for the preaa aa well during the week. Last fall Miss Crosman appeared in a play entitled "Joan of the Sboala," which waa cruelly kicked to death by the New Tork crltlca. Last week, Mr. Campbell, who la summering at Blaaconet, Mass., waa arrested at the Instance of the author, a young woman, who clalma a certain aura of money due as unpaid royalty. Mr. Campbell put up caah ball and waa re leased, and while awaiting for the trial he la meditating on the delights thst surround the managerial pathway. The play la a dead one, but the author doean't seem to be. Coanlnar Events. The program that will open the new week at Krug park today will include th sen sational double balloon asosnslon at 1:4 this afternoon by J. Waldorf Hall and Howard Hall. Aa the monater airship sail a akyward th two men will give a daring trapese performance until a great eleva tion has been reached, when' the latter will cut away with his parachute, leaving the former to make an attempt to estab lish a record for height. Accidents have frustrated their attempt for th paat two Sunday, and with tolerable weather con ditions everything possible will bo done to achieve success. Care ha been taken to arrange a popular musical bill. Including two selected solos for the trombone by Albln Huster, formerly leading soloist with Bellstedt. The program by Hunter's band will be mixed, ranging from the lighter vein of harmony to the classlo. The delightful fairy tale, "Jack and the Beanstalk," a great favorite with the chil dren, and the revered religious drama, the Paaelon Play," will continue on th even ing bill. The band will reader two special pro- grama during the week a ragtime concert on Wedneaday and on Friday night opera election. On Saturday the Ancient Order of United Workmen will hold their annual outing. The Worley cup and a caah prise of 50 will be drilled for.

Jerome Bykes and the company that will support him in Klaw Brlanger'a produc tion of Harr B. Smith and Qua Karker's new musical comedy. "The Billionaire," will begin rehearsals the latter part of thla month, opening early In October In New Haven. Frank McKee, wife and daughter, and L. P Phelps, his general business manager, arrived from Europe on Tuesday on Kron prtna Wllhelro. Mr. MoKee brought with him the manuscript of the new play by Clyde Fitch written for Mary Mannering, In which ehe wlU open her third aeaaon aa a star at ths Oarrick theater In October. Cherldah Simpson, th prima donna of the "King Dodo" company, was educated for the concert stage. Her mother Is one of the beet known pianists In the middle west, and It was her Intention that her daughter should follow In her footsteps. Fste decreed otherwise, however, sutd "Cherry," as she Is known to her Intimates, went on the operetta stage. The company which Is to present "The Sultan of Sulu," the merry musical eatlta b Oeorge Ada and Alfred Wathall which was so great a euoeeea In Chicago (he last spring, is already hard at work rehearsing for the opening of the conutng eoasou, which wlU begin at the Olympic theater, St. Louis, eacly tn September. Much of the cast Is original and the newcomers have been most carefully selected. It Is stated. William A. Brady haa formally accepted the play In which Orace Oeorge will be presented throughout the coining aeaaon. Secrecy la being maintained concerning the work and Its author because many of the characters and incidents used in the pleoa are historical and therefore common prop erty. Mr. Brady merely announces a four act drama of the period of Oeorge 1L, written by a woman chiefly noted for her ahort stories. , With ons successful play alone many a dramatist haa achieved a comfortable es tate. A year ago Pauline Phelps and Marlon Short war unknown dramatists, yet Mis fhelpa, en account of Miss Ade laide Thurston's success ss a star, was sola to purchase this spring, and out of one aeasoo'e royalties, a handsome country home at Blooratleld, Mas. Ulmm a'heloa haa named her estate "Cosy Corners," after Miaa Thurston's new play for this aeason. Mr. Ed war a O. Cooke, who haa been In charge of the bookings of ail of Henry W. Savaae'a Castls tkiuare Opera ooropany at tractions, will be in charge of "The Prlnoe of PWsen" company the coming saa.au u. Mr. Cooke leave New Tork for uilcua in the eouro of the next few days to pave ins way tor in opening oi mis merry and moat successful musical comedy In the "Windy City." The production la at pres ent at the Tremont theater, Boston, and Is doing a record business at that playhouse. Oertrude Qulnlan, who la to slug Chi qui ik tn "The Sultan of Sulu" the coming wo, was ins original in ine part. atla Oulnlan Is sn example of what pluck can do, for six years ago she was in the chorus oi tne csLStle Bqjare Opera company and her advancement has been due entirely 10 ner owa unaided oRTorta. ehe la said to nave a snoei remaraaoie memory and to have a rr?rtory of aeventy-nve operas giand, comio and standaid 4 her ttngera' ends.

Re cently he has hed a new number to pro duce a number for the whole company which demands movement unlike any othpr Incidental to the piece. With Mrs. Carle aa accompanist on the piano he has been rehearsing chorus gesture snd steps, some of which hi ve been so vlnlpnt and so mis leading In their eh allows that the neighbor hood watched In feverish Intereet for their repetition. All th's came to the comedian throjgh the channel of gossip which haa a terminus In the kitchen, and he Is wonder ing how he can amuae the neighbors next, once the new number Is out of the way. The rehearsals for the production of "Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines," with Elisabeth Kennedy In the role of Mme. Trentoni, ere now going on In New York City. It waa expected that Mr. Clyde Fitch would come back from Europe In time to take personal charge of the rehearsals, but owing to his Illness the rilstlngiilrhed au thor Is still staying In Bwltserland. Mr. Harry Spear, who was stage manager of the company last year and therefore famil iar with all the "buslneaa." has taken charge of the rehearaaia and they are pro gressing in nne snap. Maacagnl preparations at the Metropoli tan opera houee reached a new phaae re cently, when Blgnor Arturo Buxsl-peccla, a schoolmate of Maacagnl, Lemarrallo, Puc cini and other famous composers, began ftneral supervision of rehearsals. Buzsi 'eccla Is a composer and singing tescher of high standing. He was engaged by Mit ten trie I nro. Kronberg at the especial request of Mascagnl, who wished someone Intimate with his artistic Ideas to oversee preliminaries. Mascagnl has cabled that the scenery for bis operas "Ratcliff " and "Iris" has been completed and will be shipped to America at once. Among the more Important events on ths local stage this season will be the Joint ap pearance ot Louie Jamea and Frederick Warde In the early part of October, when they will be seen In Wagenhala and Kem per's sumptuous spectacular production of "The Tempest." Although the play la a classic and acknowledged to be Shakes peare's greatest masterpiece. It does not need a studious mind to appreciate It. Tt presents a constant succession of beautiful and wonderful scenes, with the charm of music and dancing, In addition to the por trayals of Interesting characters by th greatest legitimate plsyers of the present time. It Is very evident that Frank J. and Claxton Wilstach knew what they were about when they made a star of Adelaids Thurston. Mies Thurston made a telling success last season In "8weet Clover," by Psuilne Phelpe and Marlon Short, and she has a new play by the same authors, "At Cosy Corners," which she will present here later In the season. This plsy was tried last spring and proved to be a comedy-drama of exquisite workmanship. Mine Thurston has been supplied by her man sgers with a handsome production for her new play and the company la to be of the first quality. F. Marlon Crawford' latest creation is "Unorma," which Mrs. Bruns will present here. The story tells of the adventures of a young priestess of the temple of Golah, near Delhi, India, who has been abducted and taken to Prague and there held cap tive by an Arabian who is anxious to doh- sess certain mysterious powers this Unorma possesses to lurtner nie own avaricious desires. The many stirrlna- events inci dental to her departure from India and her sojourn in Austria are told most graphic ally. It can easily be gleaned from the locale of the play the splendid opportunity thus afforded for elaborate atage picture, which we are assured Wallace Munro has takan advantage ot to the fullest extent. Thjs oomlng season Henrietta Crosman has surrounded herself with a remarkably strong lot of players, who will appear wltn her In the production of "The SWord of the King." Her lending man will be Charles Cherry, who will be starred by Maurice Campbell aeason after next. Sheridan Block, recently Richard Mansfield's leading rran, will have a strong part, and Henry Bergman Is said to hays a character well j.td to Tlie oilier ill iiimm Cloa- lean's support Include such well-known players as Ida Vernon, Barton Hill, Wil liam Herbert, Oertrude Bennett Addison Pitt, Frederick C. Bertrand, Edwin Fow ler, F. J. McCarthy, Henry Ounson and Arthur Shaw. In "The Bword of the King" Misa Crosman has a dashing comedy part and appears In two acts as a boy. The play was written by Ronald MacDonald, ths son of an English clergyman, and will be staged by Eugene Presbrey. Musical CHICAGO, Aug. 21. Th Idea of Chicago as a summer resort seems to be growing as the city wears a very summery air. It is delightfully cool and bracing and I am told that the weather ha been really too cold. Everyone whom I meet tell me that If one intend to go to MaeKlnac (my original .des tination) or any of th northern lake re sorts, he should be supplied with Buffalo robes and blankets. I have me,t here Miss Luella MacDonald, pianist, of Council Bluffs, who Is doing some work here with a leading teacher, and I have also seen Mr. Richer, the well known organ builder, a man who ha had charge of most of the prominent organs in Omaha for year. H Is now occupying a fine position with th Kimball Organ company. Mr. Liebllng, the well known piano teacher (ons of whose pupils Miss Corlnns Paulson 1 well known in Omaha musical circles)--1 la Europe. I found Balduff straying here la search of a plaoe to eat a lunch. I overheard a conversation oa ths train, coming ovsr hers, which conversation waa relating to Omaha as an amusement town. One gentleman facetiously remarked that the only attraction was a park at which there was a contortionist. As a truth "contortionist," th person was undoubtedly a success. I bad not heard of any such attraction In Omaha. I took ths liberty of asking th gentleman If he had ever heard of the Transmlsslsslppl exposition and he h had not, so hi Judgment may be con sidered immature. But, after all, whil Omaha ha three re sorts going full blast (for Manawa la prac tically an Omaha resort), yst It may bs said that for a country such as surrounds ua, Omaha does not put up strong snough at tractions for Its sis. W ought to get be yond th street fair Idea. The Ak-Sar-Ben parades (especially the historical electrlo lighted float Idea) and th annual band fes tivals (oaa of which Is now in progress) are a. great feature for Omaha, and they seem oven greater, as I think of them at a distance. Summer opera should make a go In Omaha, If well presented. Ths dramatic stock companies, such as ths ons which playsd this summer In Omaha, seem to draw good bouses. Why not bavs light operas or musical comedies put on la ths same way, or at a little higher price T I , went over the famous high bridge at Boone for the first Urns on this trip. It Is a wonderful piece of engineering achieve ment. The full-stsed tree below look like so much flat shrubbery. The view by moon light was snchantlng. Mr. Clayton Summy, ths well known publisher, told me today that Joseph Oabm of Omaha had been In to aee him a day or so sgo and that ho was oa his way back from bis vacation, which hs spent In snd around Boston. Miss May Caldwell of Council Bluffs cams la today. She will be hers for a coupls ot weeks. I Just had a postal card from Sigmund Landsbsrg, who Is out west. On it there wss written an original composition, wboss music fitted to the words, "It's cool In Colorado, but It's hot In Omaha." THOMAS J. KELLY. TAKES ISSUE WITH EMPEROR Itlcd of Wagaer Assails Mosleal JadSTsaeat of Ilia veretgs.. (Copyright. 113, by Press Publishing Co.) BERLIN. Aug. IS. (New Tork World Ca blegramSpecial Telegram.) Muck dissat isfaction has beea csused la Germany by the emperor's condemning of Wagner music, which be cell "noisy." Dr. Rlrhter. a friend of Wagner, Is so Indignant that hs has beea waging war in ! Bewepepers 03 the epcrr's ta-ts. The Oerman minister of the Interior found theae diatribes treasonable and called the emperor' attention to them. William has returned the articles with this lacoale memorandum: "Ho question Ante Room Echoes Returning members of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, with charac teristic charity, refrain from commenting on the Inflated prices they went sgalnst In Salt Laks City, but Salt Lake papers are outspoken in denouncing the shameful ex tortion to which the visitors were sub jected. Ths'Salt Laks Herald say: While there Is an excellent excuse for the high prices that prevailed In Some quarters, there wae a great deal of what Is designated In the weet aa "grafting." This whs particularly noticeable among the saloons and cheap restaurants. Some of these people betrayed a cupidity in handling strangers that Is desvrving of severest censure. One man purchased several drinks In a saloon and laid down a S10 bill. TK bartender put It In his pocket and the stranger, after waiting some time, ssked for his change. The bartender refused to surrender the change until he wss threatened with arrest. It Is a (let that whore some of the sa loons had a chance to take advantage of the customer, they did so. The cheap hash houses, which deal only In the sta ples, advanced the price of everything, and the Salt Laker who was not famlllnr with th ground was the victim of this avarice as often as the stranger. If the goose which lays the proverbial golden egg had been a real bird It would have been strangled. Some of the visitors have been out spoken In their criticism of the treatmont they received and a few mora exhibitions of this kind would settle for all. time the reputation of Salt Lake City as a place In which to hold conventions. In the present case It Is probable that ths city will have to suffer for the cupidity of a few. Goodwin's Weekly, published by the former editor of the Salt Lake Tribune, has this to say of th general skinning process: Boaic 'em while they're here, for they'll be a long time gone; good enough for Elks, and make 'em pay, pay, payt ' 'That haa been the warwhoop of too many far-seeing business men the past Week, and they nave done Bait Lake more harm than good, making carnage out of their killings. They have taken the money away from visiting Elks and their friends faster than a house full of brace games could have done It, scraped them clean of every penny, and told them to kiss themselves goodby. The "Welcome" sign has biased from the front door, the cen smile has biased from behind the counters, and the schoop shovel mlt has been held open for the Jingle on the mahogany, for "Jolly Elks are good fellows;" we'll be wise as a tree full of owls. Stick 'em from soup to nuts, and they'll never know the difference. But they did, and they hollered, and wherever you go In the neott few months you will see their smoke which started In this little city. The hsckmen firet- that la always expected but In all Justice, only a few cut in deep, and thowe grafters were not among the ones who are reputable outside of convention weeks. Of course, thre were a number who always are holdups, but there isn't half the fault to be found with such men as with some others, who are supposed to be right. With the hackmen It is a big rakeoff for the year, but It Isn't with such places as the Knutiford bar, the Royal cafe, the Tavern, the Kenvon and Palace barber shoos and other places supposed to be In the front rsna or their respective Businesses. Three New Torkers and a local man went Into the Knutsford Tuesday evening. They had an Inward fever that was fierce snd a deep yearning for something cool. They asked for four glasses of sweet soda, com mon ordinary "poo." It waa served In small glasses full of Ice end there were rrcfcail;- t-xs S cent ttt!cs !r. the Trhc'.s thing. A dollar was thrown down and no change. "All drinks 26 cents, gentlemen," was the news the Informant gave them. This Is only one Incident. The maximum wholesale rate for this Is SO cents a dozen bottles. The new Improvements at the Knutsrord tar are oeautitui, out wnen tne management Insists on paying for them In three days' trade It's a little strong. Any number of bars raised to 10 cents for beer, but In comparison beer was a cinch. One Mueller, who runs the Royal cafe, must not be overlooked. Beginning Monday he had a list of prices that would drive any one to bankruptcy In three meals. Two regular customers walked In on that day. took a look at the list of figures and roared like the angry sea. Immediately a man rushed up and whispered that regular customers would do served at oici prices; that he val stationed there to Inform thnm of that, and that the printed figures were for visiting Elks. If that isn't holdup In broad daylight, what Is? The only difference at the Tavern waa in the fact that there was no discriminat ing: that Is. the prices were raised to the robber scale, but it cost local people the same as outsiders. If the Tavern Isn't out of debt after this week. whyT The Kenyon barber ahop made no bones about raising shaving prices to 2d cents, and the Palace sold "Imported" tonics made In the cellar and put In French bottles, and the smile on the barbers' faces said "Good enough for Elks." The grafts In small resorts around town cannot be reckoned, but they were legion and will be 'long remembered by the antlered herd. If all business men hud been disposed to treat people aa the ones mentioned there'd be a lot of paved streets her before another convention.
