M. D. Welsh, munager of the Omaha
Cooperage works at Thirty-fifth and I
(treets, sufd, last, evening thjat.his works
had not been closed down a day since the
r.cw building was opened In November last.
"'We have all the orders we can fill," said
Mr. 'Welsh, "and may be called upon to
employ more men. At present we are work
ing ia men and with the new machinery
at hand we are running nearly to our full
capacity." Manager Welsh said that nearly
all of the cooperage being turned out now
was fVir local packers who are badly In
tared of packages of various kinds.
Want Ten Months' School.
Teachers In tho public schools have signed
a 'petition asking that the Bouth Omaha
schools be kept open for ten months In
each year. The custom has been In the
past to have nine months school. Mem
bers of the board declare, that no attention
will be paid to the petition at this time.
The reason given Is that the extra month
of- school would coGt the district between
$1l,00O and I12.CO0. The pay of teachers,
Janitors and supplies being taken Into con
iMerat'on. With the usual school term
tho d)trlct here receives Its proportion of
the tnto apportionment and it Is consid
ered a waste of money to keep the schools
opt n ten months la the year.

Special Committee Meetlnsr.
At the last mass meeting held for the
purpose of agitating the subject of a city

opened three written bids. Tho lowest

two bidders were present who had not filed

Last Hiftr'i Prognm G'tib Cm to
Pofnlar Compotitioat,
CROWDS STILL PRESS TO HEAR BAND
Children's Program la Afternoon
Listened to by Bnthnslnstl Throng
Which Greatly Kb Joys tho
tongs Rendered.
Fortunately, few and far between are the
specimens of the human nvee to whom mu
slo of some sort or other does not appeal,
or In whom an unfathomable. Indescribable
something Is not stirred by the rhythmto
notes of some or a combination of Instru
ments. While there are many to whom the
technique and the touch and the timbre
are as an open book, and to whom, there
fore, the enjoyment Is largely a matter of
execution, this class is outnumbered a
thousand to one by those who love music
Just because they do, without knowing
why or wherefore. Technique Is to this lat
ter class an unknown quantity and grand
opera airs are the last to be selected, and
hence "popular" music has come to be that
which the average man can appreciate and
understand and enjoy.
For this reason a more delighted and
pleased audience was never assembled than
that which greeted and listened to Innes
and his Incomparable band at the Audi
torium Saturday. It was "popular muslo
night," and, true to its pronvse, the pro
gram was made up of numbers, many of
tliem old almost ns muslo Itself, but none
the less pleasing, that everyone knew from
the first note to the last All the way from
the classic "II Trotatore" down to "Hia
watha." went the scale and nearly every
one hummed or whistled In unison with the
band or had a struggle to keep from It.
The audience was a large one and as
pleased as It was large. The first number
rendered was the festival overture, "181X"
Muslo That 'Won the Applause.
An old English folk song, familiar to
ntr.ny and Indescribably sweet, was the
second number, joined In by the festival
chorus In a wonderfully effective manner.
And then came a potpourl of airs from
the "Prince of Pllsen" that set the toes of
the vast audience to tapping and their
heads to nodding In time to the familiar
but Irresistible airs. "Du, Du," air and
variations by Levy, with a cornet solo by
Kryl, awakened a storm of applause that
amounted to more than an encore and was
productive of a huge bunch of roses for
the soloist. "Bonnie Scotland" was a fan
tasy. Introducing the muslo of the songs
dear to the heart of the Scot from the
wild, weird story of the moor as told to
him by the bagpipe to the old but ever
new and Inexpressibly sweet strains of
"Annie Laurie." This selection concluded
with "Auld Lnng Syno.' In which the fes
tival chorus Joined with Inspiring effect
Then came Stedman's beautiful "Hymn of
the West" by the festival chorus and band
under the direction of Ben Stanley. This
was written and composed especially for
the official opening exercises of the St.
Louis exposition and was Its second public
performance, given by the permission of
President Francis and the executive com
mittee of tho World's fnlr. At Its conclu
sion came an overture, and In response to
an "Insistent encore other selections from
"Jllinon." Mrs. Mlslck's aria, "Q, Don
l i tale." by Donizetti, was a masterpiece
fittingly rendered and made her more a
favorite than she had already become In
Omaha, which Is ecomlum enough. "Hla
vntha" and "II Trovatore" were the last
numbers on the program introducing arias
for Mrs. Partridge, soprano, Mr. Rowdon,
basso, and a duet part for Mrs. Part
ridge and Mr. Shaw, the selection ending
with a rendition of the famous "Anvil
Chorus" by festival chorus, band and elec
tric anvil chorus.
Children Have a Chance.
The program of the afternoon formed
a truly gala event for more than 2,000 of
the school children of the city who were
taken to the Auditorium In charge of Miss
Arnold, superintendent of muslo. The num
bers were selected with special care of the
appreciation of the youthful auditors, and
pleased them to the utmost degree. The
program Included many patrlotlo and na
tional songs rendered by the children who
had been trained at the schools under the
direction of Miss Arnold. This work was
especially praised by Director Innes.

On Monday evening the meal lodge of
Eagles will spread their wings and fly to

that any of these will fly home again, but
It's a cinch that some of them will have
to fly while they are out there. Eagles
from Beatrice, Hastings, Fremont, Lincoln,
Plattsmouth and other outside points will
take part In the flight. A. O. Stephen Is
of the opinion that at least 160 of the Omaha

The Maso.ile grand lodge of Nebraska,
which closed Its annual session In Masonic

attended gatherings of the grand lodge ever
held In this state. The reports of the grand
officers show the fraternity in a moat pros
perous state and that over 1,000 accessions
have been made to the order during the
past yoar. The principal matter under dis
cussion during the meeting was the codifi
cation of the laws and their revision to
meet the Improved conditions In the order
In the state and west generally. An ex
cellent corps of officers was elected to hare
charge of the grand lodge affairs during
the coning year and were formally In

One of the very pleasant features of the
meeting of the Nebraska Veteran Free
Masons at noon Wednesday was when
about serenty-flve of them sat down to a
sumptuous dinner at the Masonic temple.
All of the business of the seml-annaul
meetings of veteran Masons Is transacted
at these dinners. The election of officers
takes place at the January meeting, hence
but little business was transacted at this
meeting except the passage of a resolution
on the fraternal dead. Three members of
the association have died since the last
semi-annual meeting. There are about 200
members of the association In the state.
Past Grand Master Brad D. Slaughter,
captain and paymaster In the United States
army, delivered a very Interesting address
on Masonry In the Orient. He said there
were one or two Masonic lodges In China
that were over 2,000 years old. Captain
Slaughter brought with him a medal com
memorative of the organisation of the first
grand lodge In Nebraska, which had been
found among the effects of a soldier killed
In the Philippines. The soldier probably
was a son or relative of one of the charter
members of the Nebraska grand lodge of
Masons and held the medal as an heir
loom. The medal was turned over to Cap
tain Slaughter, he being a past grand mas
ter of the state of Nebraska. Captain
Slaughter presented the medal to the grand
lodge at Its meeting held the past week,
that It might be kept among the archives
of the order.
A special communication of Bellevue
