Encores. '
Last nlfht'g concert of the May Musical
festival waa as cany an an old shoe sn
affair of friend. The people had heard
orchestra and singers and knew what to
expert fom each and that It would be
good; h musicians felt that their audience
waa h them In appreciation, and gave
their harmonies the more happily. In all
affairs of thla kind the average peraon
who lovea mualc but la not much learned
In the aame, la troubled by a certain feel
ing of duty to the artistic Meal, and so
eometlmea an unfortunate restraint casts
a chill over all; but not so last night; the
people felt that they had laid their tribute
before the vague and rather dlnquletlng
god of classic music, and were at their ease
to enjoy and applaud where their fancy,
dictated. And the sololsta also turned to
the quieter little gem, with only the piano
for accompanyment, having on former
evenings shown their power In the greater
numbers.
In the afternoon the aololsta were Sue
Harrington Furbeck, contralto; Arthur
Beresford, baritone; W. C. E. Seeboeck,
pianist, and Mr.- Fran Wagner 'cellist.
Mrs. Furbeck sustained the splendid Im
pression she had already made by singing
the "Habanera" from "Carmen," respond
ing to an encore. Mr. Beresford substi
tuted the "Dlo Possente." (even bravest
heart) from fcounoU's "Faust" for the
number program and was greeted with
great applause. He has grown to be a
popular favorite on account largely of his
fine voice, his good stage presence and his
earnest, honest musical work.
Mr. Wagner played a 'cello solo most ac
ceptably and secured favor with the audi
ence. Mr. Seeboeck played four number of hla
own composition to the evident delight of
the audience, as he waa compelled to re
pond to the vigorous applause by bowing
repeatedly and finally playing an encore,
Ma own "Minuet Antique," which caused
an extra encore.
The orchestra made another "ten strike."
Jlovelty la Evening;.
The evening program waa opened by a
novelty, the overture "Land of the Moun
tain and the Flood," by Hamlsh MacCunn.
Mr, Hamlin waa vociferously applauded
after a very Interesting group of songs,
the enunciation, tone color and Interpreta
tion of which were well nigh perfect.
Genevieve Clark Wilson was also given a
moat enthusiastic reception, singing (wo
beautiful numbers, one by MacDowell, the
other by Henachel, giving " In response to
great applause Lisa Lehman' "Swing
Song."
The Chicago Symphony orchestra gave
an excellent following of the conductor'a
(Mr. Rosenbecker) reading of a movement
from the "Gipsy Suite" of Edward German,
that Intensely Interesting writer who waa
chosen to finish the posthumous work of
Sir Arthur Sullivan. Thl demanded and
received a double encore.
The quarte'te from "Rlgoletto" closed the
Brat part of the program.
For the second part the "Swan and Sky
lark" of Arthur Goring Thomas, a cantata
for four soil, chorus and orchestra, waa
presented with unctuous smoothness, grace
and dramatic beauty by Genevieve Clark
Wilson, soprano; Sue Harrington Furbeck.
contralto; ' George Hamlin, tenor, and
Arthur Beresford, baritone, the May Festi
val Choir and the Chicago Symphony Or
chestra. Mr. Rosenbecker conducted the
Entire performance.
The work la a very difficult one and It
waa splendidly presented. The May Festi
val Choir had more opportunity for finish,
hading, than In "Hiawatha" and had fully
aa many. If not more, difficult cues to
watch. Conductor Rosenbecker warmly
complimented their work.
The soloists were each 'thoroughly up In
the parts, and gave them with the highest
art demanded. Mrs. Wilson, In the "Sky
lark" part, made the most of a beautifully
written piece of vocalisation, and Mr. Ham
. lln'a "Swan" song waa delivered superbly.
Mrs. Furbeck and Mr. Beresford also sus
tained their parts admirably.
The Omaha people who have failed to
take advantage of last night's performance
missed one of the very beat concert ever
given In Omaha and loat the opportunity
of hearing four great artists. But the
ame Is true of all of these concerts.
Musicians agree, and also those who are
not musiclana, that while Nordlca and
Ds Reazke are absolutely, beyond all
question, Incomparable, yet Omaha has
seldom heard and will seldom hear con
certs superior to last night'.

COUNTY FAIR MAY BE HELD
At Least the Aarlealtaral Society
Will Endeavor to secure aa
Appropriation.
The Douglas County Agricultural aoclety
dscllnes to die. At the present It haa
$40 In the treasury, and, with thla as the
printer's security. It haa gotten out a
premium list which Is supposed to be ready
for circulation. The pamphlet con
tains the list of premium to be
offered, but tets no date for the show,
the Intention being to make It part of the
Ak-Sar-Ben carnival If possible and to
"touch" the Board of County Commission
ers for another appropriation of 14,000 or
whatever the board will give.
In the last legislature a bill waa intro
duced to make It compulsory that boards
of county commissioners appropriate for
county shows of thla character on a basis
of the vote cast at the last preceding elec
tion, but the bill was killed snd the law
continues to leave It optional with county
boards whether they do or do not so ap
propriate. On the optional basis the Douglas county
appropriation could be H.000, but three of
the county commissioners yesterday morn
ing were unwilling to pledge that amount.
Chairman Hofeldt said: "I voted for the
appropriation last year only to enable the
society to pay off Its debts, t voted aga nit
any appropriation the year before and I
think I shall thla year." Commlxsloner
O'Keeffe said: "I don't think 1 11 vote for
an appropriation unless something cornea
up to show that It will result In real good
for the county and city." Commissioner
McDonald aald he was not Informed In the
matter and will not express an opinion
until he is. Commissioners Hsrte snd Con
nolly were not at the court houss and
could not be seen.
It has been rumored that the Intention
this year Is to move the fair from Omaha
to ElVhorn, but one of the officer of the
society denies this, saying: "We held our
election of last December out at Elk-
horn because the farmers complained
Omaha was too far from the geographies',
center of the county, but the fair will be
here. We want to make It a good one, be
cause the best of the exhibits we expect
to preserve and send to the St. Louis ex
position with the rest of the state's con
tribution. Whatever Is sent will have to bu
saved from this year, because next year's
crops will not be ready in time for the
exposition."

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Quarter of Million ia Bonds PropDsed for
Fablio Improvements.
NEW CITY HALL GENERALLY TALKED OF
Balldlns to Cost Fifty Thousand Dol
lars, with Accommodations for
All Cltr Departments, Fluda
Faror with Taxpayers.
The proposed issue of bonds for public
Improvements Is one of the topics of con
versation between business men these days.
As now figured out the people will be asked
to vote J100.O0O for a new high school build
ing. $35,000 for the extension of the sewer
system in the eastern part of the city, J50.
CC0 for a city hall building and 170,000 to
take up the outstanding overlap. Thla will
make a total of $255,000 In bonds to be voted
on In case the present Intention of the of
ficials Is carried out. Local bankers and
bond buyers say that this Issue of general
Indebtedness bonds can be floated at this
time at per cent. A slight premium
might possibly be bid for the bonds, but
owing to the low rate of Interest the pre
mium would not amount to much. Should
the Issue of $255,000 in bonds be made the
annual Interest at 4H per cent would
amount to $11,476. An additional appropria
tion in the Interest fund would be neces
sary to provide for this amount. Lust year
the council levied $33,431 for interest and
of this sum all but $4,000 has been paid out.
While the city attorney has been in
structed to draft an ordinance providing
for the voting of bonds in the sum of $40,
000 for a city hall, this ordinance will most
likely be amended to read $30,000 when It
gets to the Judiciary committee. It la as
serted that at the present price of building
material and labor that a suitable building
cannot be constructed for $40,000. It Is
figured that the alte, wherever chosen, will
cost In the neighborhood of $: 0,000.
In speaking of the city hall proposition
a heavy taxpayer said to a Bee reporter
last night: "I do not care where the pro
poaed city hall Is erected, but I think
the city ought to put up a creditable struc
ture. There should be a good well venti
lated tall, a matron's department, a chief's
office and an office or the Jailors. Then
there must be a council chamber, with a
committee room. Provision must be made
for the city treasurer, mayor, tax commis
sioner, city clerk, city engineer, building
Inspector and the sanitary inspector. Then
there should be rooms for the city sttorney
end the city prosecutor. The chief of the
Are department should also have an office
In the building. Such a building will cost
not less than $10,000. It will have to be
provided with vaults for the storage of
records and the construction of these will
take considerable money."
There has been some talk about the city
purchasing the present high school build
ing and remodeling it. This idea is not
considered feasible, us the building is sn
old ons and It would take more than $10,000
to put It In fit condition to be used for city
purposes snd even then the city would
have an old building on Its hands.
Just ss soon ss the council gets its bond
voting propositions down to where some
thing is known definitely It is understood
that the Board of Education will ask that
the high school proposition be voted on at
the same time.
At the present time the general bonded
debt of South Omaha Is $J07.0u0. With the
addition of $25&,000 the total general In
debtedness would bs $ut2,000. This Is not
considered large for a city of the slxe of
South Omaha.
May Sell Hleh Srkol Auaes.
While there Is talk sbout bonds for a
new high school, the suegestlon has been
made that the High school annex at
Twenty-sixth and M streets be sold snd
the proceeds used toward erecting a suit
able ward school. Teachers say that the
present location Is no At place for children,
as they constantly meet a low class of
people In going to snd coming from school.

Mrs. Catherine Heaston, of 1818 Izard

small part and sharp twinges caught me
In the kidneys when stooping or rising.
The kidney secretions were irregular
and contained brick dust deposit When
I read about Doan's Kidney Pills, I got

XV. ;i. Crow Brlnara Attachment Suit
Against Owner of Halgnt
Stock Farm.
W. H. Crow has attached sixteen horses
and 1C0. acres of land near Parsons, Kan.,
to secure satisfaction of a claim he makes
against P. B. Halght and J. F. Cornish,
who, he charges, have defrauded him out
of possession of the stock. All are of
Omaha, but Mr. Halght has a fancy stock
farm at Parsons and a training track there.
Mr. Crow and his attorney, John W.
Cooper, and the sheriff of Oswego county
visited ths farm last Tuesday morning at
E o'clock in a driving rain to serve the
attachment on the racers snd the premises.
It is Crow's allegation that he sold Tony
W, a trotter with a mark of 2:0814 in hob
bles, to Halght for a $1,400 mortgage on
some Nebraska land, mining stock of the
face value of $2,00" and a note for $1,000,
but that the mining stock was worthier
and the mortgage void, so that all lis could
collect was the $1,000 secured by the per
sonal note. This sale was made last July,
plaintiff alleges, snd before he learned of
the worthlessness of tils collateral he sold
Lady Downing (2:14) to J. F. Cornish for
$1,1M, represented by some more mining
stock In the same company, furnished,
plaintiff alleges, by Halght, to whom Cor
nish transferred the animal "without con
sideration." Lord Titan. Spotty M and
twelve others not so fast were bought by
Halght, snd Crow alleges that all the pur
chases were secured by misrepresentation
similar to that practiced In the first In
stance. Lord Titan and Spotty M were
supposed to bring $1,230 each, and the
twelve others $100 each. Crow's suit In at
tachment Is to recover possession of tho
horses and secure damages sustained by
the transaction or else secure real money
for the value of sll.
The Ksnsas town points to the Halght
stock farm as Its principal adornment, and
the attachment suit , has created quite a
stir there.

shaped up that each may have a chance
next fall to make the race again.
The authority for dividing the city Into
thirteen wards Is obtained from on amend
ment to the Omaha charter bill passed by
the last legislature.
Law on Hedlstrlctlng, '
The new law says:
Each city governed by this chspter shall
le divided Into wards, the boundaries of
which shall be defined by ordinance and be
egual In population aa near as may 1. In
any city of the metropolitan class now ex
isting, which is already divided Into nine
wards, such wards and the election districts
of such wurda shall not be altered aa to
boundaries until after the first election pro
vided for in this act, and the existing
boundaries shall form the basis of such
election. After such election the city coun
cil may change the boundaries of the wards
and may divide anv citv nf th mnirnnnii.
tan class Into not less thai, nine nor more
than thirteen wards. When the boundaries
of said wards have been changed and the
number of wards Increased the councllmen
who reside In each new ward shall continue
to represent such ward and new councllmen
shall be elected for each ward having no
(founcllmen residing therein. Such new
councllmen shall be elected at the next
state, county or cltv election held after
sixty days rrom the division of such wards
and shall hold their offices until ths next
city election.
Corporations Are Interested.
Behind the councllmen who desire the re
shaping of the wards to be done by ths
present council sre said to be the principal
corporations, who fear they cannot exert
sufficient Influence ta rule the nine council-men-elect.
The redisricting schema as contemplated
will leave each of the old four In a new
ward, not represented In the council, hence
requiring the election of a councilman next
fall. To do this the matters of population
and area are being disregarded.
To direct questions the councllmen deny
that sny such plan Is under consideration.

When the federal grand Jury began lti
