BORAXOLOGY
The first lesson in Boraxology is bath
ology how to take a bath that really
cleanses
Like all good clogies, it is simple put
BORAX in the bath water,
i And if you ask "why' the Boraxolo
gist answers, "because it softens the water
and thereby doubles the cleansing power'
BORAX cleanses the pores and makes the
skin white and healthy.
. But like most every good thing, Borax
is imitated and adulterated,

Again has Omaha demonstated that
a revival of light opera will d. welcome.
This latest of the Herbert compositions
doesn't pretend to greatness, and yet It
Is so much better than what we have
been getting In the musical line that it
seems almost transcendant tn compari
son. In It Mr. Herbert has accomplished
.something that should result In his name
being called blessed for many generations
of theater seasons; he has actually sub
dued the brass horns and has entirely
vanquished the bass and snare drums,
and the clashing of the cymbals Is heard
not from the beginning to the end of the
re. Instead the strings ana tne wooa
blend In softest harmony, and mu-
enulne, unmlstakeable music baa
come to soothe the ears that have too
often been assailed by noise. For this
Mr. Herbert has thanks. His score con
tains several ambitious bits of compost'
tlon, and yet nothing that goes aside of
the generally dignified but genial motif
of - the piece. He has prepared some
startling little Utile surprises -all the way
through, little runs and trills for Instru
ments and voices that dart In and out,
sparkling like fountain Jets In the sun
shine, ' and making the composition one
that fairly delights the ear. Mr. Smith's
book has been prepared with greater care
than has been bestowed on any recent
composition, ' with the result that Its
humor Is healthy, Its conversations natu
ral, and Its story quite within the bound
of reason. "Babette" Is a good example
ot what we may expect to succeed the

"musical" comedies we have been sur
feited with ot late seasons.
Interest centered very largely around
Mlsa Belief!, who was making her bow to
Omaha, and Mlsa Scheff must be harder to
please than her appearance and action de
note If she did not sleep last night well sat
isfied with Omaha's opinion of her. She
got a welcome that a popular favorite
might feel proud of, a welcome that waa
thoroughly merited. In person she is good
to look upon; she has a fine figure, a pretty
face, a smile and way with her that goes
direct to the seat of popularity, and, above
all, she -has a. voice that would win for her
a position In publio favor were she devoid
of all other charms. It Is a full, rich so
prano, flexible and resonant, and under
perfect control, and she uses It with great
skill. The songs she sings In the early
part of the evening are written to .how
the beauties and capacity of her voice, but
In the last act she has an aria that exhib
its It tn all its power. She won a triumph
at the close of the second act, and again
with her aria In the third.
Kugene Cowles' wonderful bass organ
still responds perfectly to his demands
upon It. and he does not spar. Itln hla
songs In the present Instance. He sings
with the earnestness of a man trying to
"make good,' rather than as one whose
reputation Is secure. He is heard In every
act. Richie Ling, with his sweet and mel
low tenor, has floe opportunities, too, and
so does Ida Hawley, who has a very serv
iceable soprano. Louis Harrison, whose
ripened humor Is more delicious each time
he comes again, has full scope In his role,
and with Josephine Bartlett as a coadjutor
and Nace Bonvllle for a second, he makes
as good fun as the others do music. The
score calls for solos, duets, trios, quartets
and sextets, and has a number of choruses,
and all are good, so no effort will be made
here to single out any for special mention.
The mounting and costuming Is superb.
An audience that filled the theater to Hi
limit enjoyed every moment of the evening,
and did not stint its expression of pleasure.
Were Yoa Ever Offered a Chance
Llk. This
Is a question put to th. people of th.
country today who are afflicted with
asthma, by the Milks' Emulsion Co., Terre
Haute, Indiana.
Their offer la without a doubt an ex
ceptionally strong one, as they not only
agree to give you a-, written guarantee,
backed by your druggist, that Milks' Emul
sion will cure you of asthma, but In order
to start you off they offer to buy the first
boltie from your own druggist . and give
It to you free of charge. All you have to
do Is write them, giving the particulars of
your case.
Heretofore, ssthma has been considered
almost Incurable, but the discovery of
Milks' Emulsion has convinced physicians
all over the country as well as asthma
sufferers, that asthma Is no longer on the
dreaded list
Few men have done nor for suffering
humanity than the discoverer of Milks'
Emulsion. Only those who have suffered
with asthma for years can appreciate what

Heretofore the members of the Douglas
county bar hav. suffered muoh annoyance
and Inconvenience and oftentimes even
more serious consequences from th. rule
pertaining to the getting of files from the
ofllce of the clerk of the district court. It
has been necessary to procure from th.
Judge having th. particular cas. on his
docket a written order on the clerk for
the documents. In the event of the Judge
happening to be In attendance at court In
any other county or absent from th. city
for any other rtason th. annoyance tht
might result from the delay will be readily
appreciated, especially by the members of
the legal profession.
At the last meeting of the bench Judge
Bartlett Introduced a motion abolishing this
rule and allowing the clerk of the court
to deliver the papers tn any case In which
a lawyer la employed as counsel to the
attorney without the order of the court
and upon the attorney's receipt for the
same. This was concurred In by th. other
members of the bench, and the new prooeae
la now In vogue, much to the relief of the
members X the bar.

and Referred.
Concurrent resolutions directing the
street railwiy company to make paving
repairs which Councilman Zlmman said
would otherwise cost the city P5.000 re
adopted by the city council Tuesday night.
They were Introduced by Zlmman. who
produced figures from the city engineer's
office to show that In 1903 the city spent
ll.VJ in repairing pavements along the
rails of the traction company. It is speci
fied In each case that the corporation do
the work within thirty days after receipt
of notification by the city clerk and that
It be performed under the supervision and
to the satisfaction of the city engineer.
The work directed Is as follows: Twelfth
and Howard, with the option of removing
old rails and tesurface altogether with
asphalt; Capitol avenue, from Fifteenth
to Sixteenth; Fifteenth, from Capitol ave
nue to Howard; Howard, from Fifteenth
to Sixteenth; Fourteenth, from Davenport
to Howard; Sixteenth, from Dodge to How
ard; Douglas, from Fourteenth to Ninth;
Twelfth, from Douglas to Howard; inter
sections at Fourteenth and Capitol avenue
and Fourteenth and Davenport streets,
where the company agreed to raise paving
to level of new rails; between the rails of
the south track on Douglas, from Ninth
to Fourteenth, and at Twelfth and Douglas,
where paving was removed and disturbed
by raising tracks.
The resolutions met with no opposition.
In answer to a question Councilman Zim-
man said that other resolutions requiring
the water company, electric light company
and gas company to replace paving cut
and disturbed In laying mains and con
duits would be prepared by the city attorney-
and introduced.
Ant l-Scalplna" Ordinance.
The anti-ticket scalping ordinance desired
by the railroads to prevent traffic in spe
cial rate transportation to the World's fair
and having stop-over privileges in Omaha,
was Introduced by Councilman Hoye, read
the first and second time and referred to a
committee;. It makes it a misdemeanor for
a ticket broker to buy or solicit non-trans,
ferable transportation which has been sold
at less than the usual rate; also compels
him to Issue a certificate with each ticket
sold by him, giving the ticket's history so
far as he la able to know. The ordinance
Is favored by the business men because
the railroads have threatened to prohibit
stop-over privileges here unless provisions
ore made by the city council to prevent
traffic In the tickets. Violations of the
proposed ordinances are made punishable
by fines between $60 and $100. The measure
will meet with opposition In the council.
Ordinances were introduced calling for
now water hydrants at the following places:
Thirtieth and Spring, Thirtieth and Vin
ton, Thirty-first and Vinton, Thirty-fifth
and Dodge, Thirty-third and Pine, Twenty
seventh and Ames avenue.
An amended automobile ordinance fixing
the maximum speed at eight and twelve
miles an hour was introduced, as was a
new ordinance regulating billboards, con
taining some departures from that origi
nally advocated by Councilman Schroeder.
8lna raving gpeclflcatlons.
Mayor . Moorea signed the . paving speci
fications desired and adopted, by the ma
jority of the Board of Public Works, and
the council ordered the board to advertise
for proposals for asphalt paving around
Hanscom park, the bids to be opened May
23 and transmitted to the council at the
next meeting.
The council approved the bill of the
Omaha Electric Light and Power company
for April street lighting without the ap
proval of the city electrician. True to his
word that he would withhold his O. K.
until the council took action on the pole
proposition, Electrician Michaelson declined
to say th. bills were all right and that the
lighting claimed had been performed.
The council awarded the Clifton Hill
main sewer, contract to P. M. Connolly,
the low bidder, for $6,793. 67, natural or
American cement to be used. Engineer
Rosewater presented a letter saying that
only twenty-five barrels of cement would
be used, the difference In prloe between
natural and Portland cement being only
J.1.2S In favor of the former, whereas the
difference In Mr. Connolly's offer was 1610.
The council decided to save this money.
Orders were given to Board of Public
Works to buy 100,000 feet of lumber for
the construction of crosswalks.

WILLIE K. DODGES REPORTERS
Toaaar Vaaderbllt Gets Confuted
Whea Approached hy err
paper Men.
Two very distinguished passengers came
In on the Union Pacific Tuesday evonlng
frem the west. They were Willie K. Van
derbilt and Claus Spreckela, the sugar king
of the Pacific coast. Mr. Vanderbllt was
accompanied by his wife.
Mr. Spreckels was on his way to Europe
for his health and the Vanderbllts were on
their way home after a pleasure trip In
California. The parties were not traveling
together. While Mr. Spreckels had nothing
of interest to say to the press, he received
reporters very cordially.
While waiting for their train the Vander
bllts took a carriage and drove over the
city taking in the sights. When they re
turned to the depot their private car had
been moved and they had quite a time find
ing It. They walked all over the yards in
the vicinity of the I'nlon station and finally
located It within ten feet of where they
left It, behind another car.
"Where have you been, Mr. Vanderbllt?"
asked a reporter, who slipped upon one side
of the youog man before he could escape.
"I never interview the newspapers," In
stantly exclaimed Mr. Van,dcrbilt, who ap
parently had been looking for Just such an
opportunity and in his excitement had got
his sentence twisted. "If I did," he added,
"I would be at it oil the time."
Having said which he wheeled about face
and waa about to start up when he was
told in an assuring manner by ono of the
reporters that only two newspaper men
were in eight and tbey had no disposition
to monopolise such valuable time as his,
but that If he cured he might give up a
few minutes of his two hours In Omaha.
Now Mr. Vanderbllt is not accustomed to
the west and its ways, so he didn't propose
to take any chances. As one of the re
porters advanced toward the young man
he backed off as If he were afraid the re
porters might bite him, and his wife, smil
ing proudly upon her rich young husband,
exclaimed:
"Oh, I don't think you need press your
Inquiries any; you won't get anything out
of him. Willie has been there before."
At mat nits iiii uuiifj mufi w&meu periiv
up to nis car, mount. ea tne step without at '.,
slstance, and with his wife retired where
the reporters could not even see him. Mr.
and Mrs. Vanderbllt went cast over the
Northwestern.
Mr. 8preckles Is going to Europe for his
health, which is not very good. Ho is a
sufferer from nervousness, which princi-
raliy affects his legs and feet. It is Mr.
Spreckels" Intention to visit Carlsbad andnmH iacking Co 4 ML j

some relief. The great sugar man Is look-uaanJ' acKiug to nl

has nothing of a business nature connected inaani db cu i
with it. During his stop J. C Stubbs, dl- vrey Heuton 41

Announcements of the Theaters,
Maude Adams, In a splendid revival of
her greatest success, "The Little Minister,"
will be the next attraction at the Boyd
theater. Miss Adams chose this play for
her opening visit to the Pacific coast, and
Mr. Charles Frohman, under whose direc
tion she is on tour, has furnished her with
a splendid supporting company and a beau
tiful production. The engagement here will
be for Saturday night only.
On Monday and Tuesday evenings of next
week Mr. E. H. Sothern will be at the
Boyd In his latest success, "Tho Proud
Prince." Mr. Sothern has won even greater
honors In this than he did in "If I Were

beautiful legend of Sicily for his theme,
and has illustrated it most powerfully, and
the interpretation given the story by Mr.
Sothern has been one of the triumphs of
his career. In the company supporting Mr.
Sothern Is Miss Cecilia Loftus and others
equally well known.
