fA Men's Spring Suits
Top Coats, Cravenettes
When we told seventeen manufacturers of men's clothing that we had $100,
000 spot cash in the bank with which to pay for the best overgarments and suits to
sell for $15 we could get, there was the hottest kind of competition to capture a part
of this big order. We inspected samples in November, and in a third of a century
as clothiers have never seen greater excellence for the money.

With limited revenue most boards find It

nects the school and the saloon in nny man
ner. Is it right that education should be
made to depend on the liquor traffic or
that the efficiency of our schools should
hinge on an annual temperance revival? If
the new revenue law makes it possible to
maintain one school without the "aid or
consent" of the liquor trade, It will cer
tainly deserve the highest commendation
from an euueators.
Ilook Trust Agents.
Frankly, the book men of Nebraska are
of the right sort and are Indeed entitled to
a "square deal." They come to the super
intendent instead of Intriguing with the
Individual members of the board. They en
deavor to sell their books on merit and not
on "graft." If they lose out they smile and
study out how to win next time. This club
of schoolmasters' could wisely compliment
them by electing such men to membership.
It would mean to the publishers that honor
able, gentle, manly agents only are accept
able In Nebraska.
Hoards of education do not always mani
fest good business management on tholr
part. There are many places in Nebraska
where they Inslm, not upon getting the
most from funds available, but on patroniz
ing local dealers even at exorbitant prices.
They often avoid complying with the law in
order to make rf better market in selling
direct to the children. They sacrifice school
work In the interests of the home mer
chant. However, In but few places of ten
or more teachers do they refuse to comply
with the law in every respect.

The eleventh annual ball given by the
Switchmen's Union of North America,

the Auditorium last evening. The grand

waa a success from every point of view.
there 'being about 500 couples present
The sixteenth annual ball given by the
Upholsters and Mattress Makers waa held
St. Patrick's night at Crelghton hall, and
to say that it waa a grand success does
not begin to express It. There was a large
crowd present and everyone appeared to
be having the time of their life. The pro
grams were very tasty affairs and were
quite appropriate for the time and occa
sion.
Last evening the last of a series of social
dances given by the drill team of Foresters
of Beech camp, 14M, Modern Woodmen of
America, waa held at Myrtle hall. The
hall was comfortably filled with dancers

Larore Section of City Cut Off from
Direct Communication with the
Heat by Tracki at
PTrsent.
A petition Is now being circulated among
the property owners and business men re
questing the council to .take some steps
toward providing for a viaduct across the
tracks from Twenty-fourth and U streets
to Twenty-seventh and Y streets. This
matter wus brought up informally some
time ago by the city officials, but was do
ferred for the time being on account of
other pressing business. Councilman Ad
klns has a rough sketch of the proposed
bridge and he declared that when the time
cornea he will be one of the business men
to push this viaduct proposition.
"This matter of a viaduct across the
tracks in the southern part of the city
ought to be taken hold of by every mer
chant In the city," said a well known citi
zen last night "In the delivery of goods
a team has to drive either to Railroad and
Jefferson streets or to Twenty-eighth and
Q streets to get an open road to that por
tion of the city south and1 southwest of the
tracks." ,
The Southeast Improvement club is tak
ing a hand In this matter and proposes to
have a petition sent to the council contain
ing the numes of several hundred taxpayers
and citizens. It has been stated that with
the aid of the council the railroads can be
Induced to build this bridge, which is
greatly needed. A great many say that
there is mora necessity for a bridge from U
to Y street than there is for one across
the tracks at F street. Already the rail
rouds have agreed to construct a bridge
across F street when the laying of addl
tlonal tracks now contemplated between
Omaha and South Omaha is completed.
May Vnderigo Operation Today.
City Engineer Herman Beal is seriously
111 at his home, Twenty-fifth and O streets.
Along during the early part of the winter
Mr. Beal contracted a severe cold and later
the grip. He has suffered greatly and has
only been able to be at his office at in
tervals for about six weeks. Physicians In
attendance say that Mr. Boal will have to
undergo an operation and this will most
likely take place today. The city engineer
has hosts of friends here and in Omaha,
who sincerely hope that his recovery will
be speedy.
Building Inapertor Busy.
The city building Inspector is seeing to it
that the doors in halls and other places
where people congregate are made to open
outward. Just now the doors in the pres
ent Young Men's Christian association
rooms are being changed so as to conform
to the laws in this matter. Some old tot
tering buildings are being inspected and
the expectation Is that quite a number will
be condemned as soon as the city attorney
and council can get around to the mat
ter. Sliver Service Stolen.
Rev. James Wise, rector of St. Martin's
Episcopal church, reported to the police

Condon Seriously 111.
The police picked up a man lying on the
sidewalk at Twenty-fourth and M streets
yesterday afternoon, who had dropped to
the sidewalk as he was passing Scarr's
drug store. Dr. Koutsky, the city physi
cian, was called and after a preliminary
examination, had the man removed to the
hospital. Dr. Koutsky asserts that apoplexy
Is probably the cause of the fall and the
Injuries received. During a lucid moment
the patient said that his name was Wil
11am Conley and that he had lived in
Kansas City. All the afternoon and even
ing Conley was unconscious and Dr. Kout
sky does not hold out any encouraging re

Announcements of the Theaters.
Mme. Slapoffskl, the distinguished prima
donna and the other varied features con
stituting the bill for this week will be seen
for the last two times at a matinee and
night performance today.
The new program for the week starting
Sunday matinee, March 19, Is promised to
be bright, merry and varied. Louis Simon,
Grace Gardner and company will present
an uproarious one-act farce-comedy en
titled, "The New Coachman," of which Miss
Gardner Is the authoress. Sydney Dean and
company will contribute a vocal novelty
called "Christmas on Blackwell's Island."
Sydney Dean, who possesses a robust bari
tone voice, was a principal with the orig
inal "Florodora" company. Other features
are: Thereses, with a comedy hypnotic
act; Louise Blrhany, the beautiful soprano;
the Columbians, three Juveniles and two
adults In "The Wax Doll," a musical fan
tasy; Herbert Brooks, card manipulator
and master of the trunk mystery; the
Busch De Vere trio, presenting an illus
trated musical novelty, and entirely new
klnodrome pictures.
"The Girl and the Bandit," the merry
little comic opera that made such a hit In
Omaha this week, will return to the Boyd
theater for a single performance on Sun
day night.
If advance orders indicate anything the
engagement of the Klaw & Erlanger
"Mother Goose" production In Omaha will
be as successful as it has been everywhere.
This Is one of the most gigantic undertak
ings In the way of stage entertainments
ever made. It exceeds "Ben Hur" In every
way, and is a spectacle that will never be
forgotten. Each of the several ballets re
quire nearly 200 people, and the characters
wear nearly J.000 different costumes during
the performance. More men are required
to operate the stage alone than are gen
erally needed to equip an extravaganza
company. Twenty-seven men are needed
to manipulate the scenery, not counting
those who are engaged In handling the
mechanism for the aerial ballet and other
features of the show. "Mother Goose" will
begin an engagement of five nights at the
Boyd theater on Monday next, with mati
nees on Wednesday and Saturday. Seats
for the entire engagement are now on sale.
Johnny and Emma Ray In their new
vehicle "Down the Pike" will hold forth at
the Krug theater for four nights and two
matinees, starting with a matinee tomor
row. "Down the Pike" Is described as being
bright, merry musical comedy, bristling
with pretty girls and brilliant costumes.
The piece Is In two acts, the first being laid
In a modern apartment house with Mr. Ray
the autocratic Janitor, and the second
at St Louis along the Pike. The latter of
fers excellent opportunities for beautiful
scenery and electrical effects, which have
been bountifully supplied. A beautiful
chorus of sprightly girls Is Introduced at
different Intervals throughout the action of
the play.
