' The mrrtinf of the Fire and Police board
last night was a very tame affair, an com
pared to the expectation. In anticipation
of a general shaking, up of dry bones, the
council chamber, wher the meeting; wn
held, was crowded, to the doori. It had
been given out that a number of patrol
men were to be tried for violating; the rule
and regulations of the department, and
each officer ha 4 from els to a dosen wit
nesses on hand.
First on the call cam Officer Brennan
and Davidson. They wer tried for having
been caught drinking In a saloon while on
duty. It wns not a hard matter to prove
the truth of the charge. After these of
ficers and the wltneasea had been put
through a long course of questioning by
member of the board, Mr. Nolan arose
and at considerable length explained his
position In these cases. He said that the
men had been on the force only a abort
time, and possibly were not thoroughly
conversant with all of the rule. Further,
be asserted that the particular rule under
which the charge had been brought did
not specify any penalty. Therefore h
suggested that the men be nned ten days
pay, the fin dating from the date of sus
pension. Then the officers were given some
advice by the board and were restored to
duty.
Next came Ed Kroeger. Captain Shields
reported Kroeger for drinking In a saloon
while on duty. Kroeger proved by the bar
tender of the place and a number of men
who were in the saloon at the time that
the officer had been called In to stop an al
tercation going on at one of the card ta
bles. Witnesses went on to say that Kroe
ger was offered a drink of anything he
wanted, but declined. He did finally drink
a bottle of red pop. As he was leaving the
aaloon Km
g in the door Shields could not swear
at he saw Kroeger drinking anything.
When the majority of the board saw
that the charge had fallen through, the
thought came to Nolan that Kroeger' ap
plication had never been formally acted
upon by the board. Masaon and all the
members except Vansant wanted to take
up the application and trot on It before
considering the charges. Vansant's protest
did not avail, and the vote on the applica
tion of this officer was taken, with the
result that all the member with the ex
ception of Vansant voted against the ap
plication. As by turning down the ap
plication Kroeger was no longer a mem
ber of the police force, the charge were
not considered.
This ended the trials. Then the board
gave Chief Brlgga special Instructions to
Impress upon his men the necessity of keep
ing out of saloon while on duty. Nolan
aid that when off duty and not In uni
form the men could do as they pleased.
He stated that even when off duty he would
Insist that policemen pay for their beer,
mo as not to be under any obligations to
liquor dealer.
Aften more talk along the same line to
the chief, the board adjourned.

noon for the purpose of going over the I
bid for the 121,000 general lndebednes
bonds. After going Into the bid thor
oughly and doing soma figuring the com
mittee came to the conclusion that the bids
had been based on the Idea that the bonds
were to run twenty years straight end
that there was no five-year clause. It
was therefore decided to send a telegrsm
to each of the bidders explaining that the
flv-year option rlause should be consid
ered In making bids. Heplle to these
tele ems are expected today but the com
mittee will not take any action until after
Thst.ksglvlng. Bankers assert that the
five-year option clause decreases the de
slrattllty of the bonds considerably. In
esse those who have hid do not desire to
crept the conditions the bonds will be
advertised ogaln.

The explosion occurred at 1 o'clock this
afternoon. There were about 17G men in the
various shaft at the time. All escaped
without Injur)' except the thirteen who
were employed in entry "K," the scene of
the explosion. The force of the explosion
was terrific and timbers were torn from the
walls of the passages for several hundred
yards st the mouth of entry "K".
The passage were so completely ob
structed that the work of rescuing the en
tombed men was tedious in the extreme
end several hours were consumed before
the first body was found.
It is thought that the gas was accident
ally. Ignited by a miner's lamp. The miners
who escaped with the aid of other sum
moned from nearby shafts Immediately set
about clearing the passage. In the hope
that soma of the thirteen entombed men
might have survived.
By nightfall six bodies had been recov
ered and the rescue work Is still in prog,

of ths entombed men have perished.

Head Mad Instrameats Belnc Man,
faetared Every Day In Year.
Time was when the world knew of but
one piano, but that Was long ago before the
master mind of man had broadened out In
the vast field which then lay undeveloped
and today there are many of these keyed
and stringed Instruments of various makes
and qualities being sold and offered to the
people In every continent.
Perhaps It may not be generally known,
but nevertheless it Is a fact that right
In the very heart of the city of Omaha
these wonderful musical Instruments are
being manufactured every day in the year.
Instruments that are the peer of most of
the piano now on the market, the makers
being willing to pit them against the finest
piano that can be produced by competing
firms.
The particular instrument In mind la
made by Schmoller Mueller and bears
their name.whlrh alone Is a guarantee of
excellence. They are sold on their merit
and good qualities Instead of reputations
gained In past years, and are pronounced
by competent Judges to be the standard of
excellence.
A trip through the factory at 1316 Farnam
street, where visitors are always welcome.
will be of interest and Instructive to all
availing themselves of the opportunity.
Here the piano Is seen In all stage of
construction until one I led up to the
finishing room, where the perfected Instru
ment I shown.
Only the finest materials are used by this
firm In the construction of their piano and
the work Is under the direct supervision of
Carl Sommer, a thorough student of the
piano In every detail, having learned his
trade and being connected for many year
with the well known firm of Roenisch,
pioneer manufacturers In Germany. He
superintends every part of the con
struction whlle the Instrument Is under
way and the fact that all Schmoller
Mueller pianos put on the market are ex
clusively hand made throughout only gee
to show the great care exercised In the
manufacture of the Instruments.
Oreat advantage Is offered the purchaser
In that he has no middleman to deal with,
which In all cases makes the cost of the
Instrument at least thirty per cent higher.
These pianos are sold direct to the custo
mer by the manufacturers, thereby saving
hire considerable money which otherwise
would go to the agent.
The Schmoller Mueller pianos are made
In any -design desired,' and any wood se
lected. The very finest, well seasoned
lumber is put Into the rases, and some of
the exquisite designs used In these would
kindle the enthusiasm of any pilgrim to the
musical world. The longer the eye dwells
upon the Intricate works and the expuls
Itely carved cases, the more one's mind
Is attuned to enjoy the musk-tan's fanciful
flights and to revel In excursions to dream
land mapped in musical realms.
The best nickel trimmings and felt cush
ions are used in the construction of these
pianos, and the tone Is filled with sweet
ness and harmony, mellow to the exact
meaning of the word, the bursting forth
In one grand symposium of musical sounds,
among which musician 'delight to revel.
William Morris, the master craftsman.
once said: "Have nothing In your house
that you do not know to be useful or be
lieve to be ornamental." One would make
no mistake by selecting a Schmoller A
Mueller piano, for it Is beautifying to the
home and the equal of any piano on the
market In tone and action. Those who
contemplate the purchase of a piano should
consider the quality of workmanship as
well as the desirability of caae patterns.
In late years there have appeared many
so-called good pianos, which although they
may nave creditable cases, the manufac
turers lack the technical knowledge of
making and construction, and their pro
ducts, even If apparently substantial,' can
not be relied upon aa possessing durability
In structure end tone.

American engineers have long been
known to commerce. Through desert wilds
and mountain fastnesses they have blazed
the way for civilisation. The world of
sordid fact has long known of their ac
complishments and has given Its frigid
acknowledgment of their deeds. And with
his newspaper Instinct for "th tory"
Richard Harding .Davis seised on this
them and made an engineer the hero of
one of the most fascinating of modern
romances. And Augustus Thomas, with
the unerring instinct of the true dramatist,
has seized on the meat of the Davis story
and made out of It a play fully as fas
cinating as the novel; if anything, more,
because it gives In a tabloid form, so to
speak, the exciting events the story carries
along through several chapters of detail,
and this without any vloence to the con
tinuity of the yarn or asking that any
gaps be filled by a few yards of explana
tion from the principals in the play. It la
touch and go In the book; it is touch and
go In the play. Certainly, the play "went"
last nlrht at the Boyd.
It Is a play of contrasts, powerful, and
therefore dramatic. Clay, the American
raining engineer, who has come up from
the bottom. Is contrasted with Stewart,
the English officer, who has come down
from the top, until the fwo meet on the
commori ground of honest manhood. Again
Is Clay contrasted with King, the man who
does things with the man who doesn t.
Alice Langham, the cold, passionless, ex
perienced girl of the world. Is contrasted
with her Impulsive, warm-hearted, earnest
sister, Hope, and the qualities of each
make the other shine brighter, each In
her own way. So, too, are the pictures In
the play set one over against the other,
even to the love-making. King and Alice
discuss the matter of their engagement
with much the same Indifference that one
might assume In regard to an Invitation
to tea at a house of a tiresome acquaint
ance. King admits that he has considered
the probable loss of her father's fortune
and languidly say he can't convince him
self that It would make any difference; he
ask her to Join him, in a trip to the
Mediterranean. She assent aa languidly.
Clay propose to Hope . under, fire, seals
her acceptance with a rousing smack on
the Hps and In a moment is under arrest
and sentenced to be shot byv a general
who has disregarded his own flag of truce.
And when It Is all over, Instead of a
trip to the Mediterranean Clay offers his
wife a continued sojourn In the land of
sudden revolutions. j , j
Mr. Edeson quite realizes tlie Davis idea
of an American soldier of fortune, modest,
resourceful, undaunted and bonest. It Is
a very careful study of a type, and Is
presented with an apparent earnestness
that makes it more than delightful.
But Mr. Edeson's work; Is not the only
pleasing thing In the piece. Mr. Harlnm's
gives an equally good characterisa
tion of the high minded Englishman, who
could and did die for hlH trust.. Mr. Har
wood's McWllllams Is quite what one
can Imagine what the original idea of the
author was, and made a tremendous hit
with the audience last night.
It Is a little difficult for one who has
not read the book to understand exactly
the character of Alice langham, and yet
Miss Tennant did it so well as to all but
make clear her aversion to Clay and the
reason she accepted King.. She almost
loved Clay herself until the Incident of the
breakdown of the engines on the Vesta.
When Clay emerged from the engine room,
dirty and greasy and sweaty, after fixing
the disabled machinery, her esthetic nature
revolted, and she made up her mind that
she could not wed with that man. This
had something to do with her desire to
prevent Hope from getting him, also. Miss
Tennant makes the part cold, almost aus
tere, and certainly uninteresting. Against
her frigidity of manner la set the impulsive,
quick-witted, bright, and warmly sympa
thetic nature of Hope, admirably pre
sented by Miss Burg, so that in the end
one is glad that Clay didn't get the girl
whose picture he had adored for so many
years before he met the original, but was
comforted by her sister.
As a whole tho company Is excellent, well
balanced and well equipped for giving a
finished and well-nigh perfect performance
f a most enjoyable play. The audience
which witnessed the performance was
large, and was most demonstrative after
It had once come under the spell of the
excellent acting. Mr. Edeson and his as
sociates were recalled at the end of each
act, and at the close of the third an un
usual outiiurst was rewarded by a neat
little speech from the star, In which he
paid Omaha people a very pretty compli
ment for the compliment they were paying
him.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Life cut of doors and out of the frames which they play and the enjoy
ment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes ths
greater part of that healthful development which ia so essential to their
happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is
given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs
on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its
component parts are known to be wholesome snd the remedy itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents,
well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is
8yrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative- which should
be used by fathers and mothers. i
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy ,which acts gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against
which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give
thein medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs
assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and
gentle Syrup of Figs.
Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, bnt
also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of
the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
'ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be
bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Pleas
