DOINGS OF THIS LEGISLATE MB
Prodigality of Last legislature Hav-Ina-
Its Effects.
LINCOLN. Math 20.-(Speclal.)-The
state is now reaping some of the wild oats
the legislature of two years ago sowed In
the way of enormous1 appropriations. For
the first time since he became state treas
urer. Mr. Mortansen 'is j now registering
university warrants. . .He has been doing
this for several moot ha and the amount
of warrants registered a one time recently
was over 190,000., He now has outstanding
(19.000 warrants upon which, the Mate is
paying 4 pet. cent interest,, and within a
couple of days there will have been reg
istered 136,000 more of these university war
rants which also wilt draw per cent In
terest. Treasurer Mortensen has been tak
ing up theso registered warrants just as
rapidly as he gets hold" of tne money and
so far the warrants have been allowed to
run not much mora than a, month. But
now money is coming in slower and the
warrants that are registered from now
on will run at least two months and prob
ably longer. The reason tor alt this in
terest being paid by the state on its war
rants is simples The university is drawing
on Its appropriation faster than the money
is being paid into the treasury.
, A mighty effort will 'be made by Senator
Glffln to amend the house Irrigation bill to
qonform to B. F. No. 98, giving the right
If eminent domain to Irrigation districts,
which was lost in the senate by one vote.
Today a number of North Platte and Lin
coin county people came down to encou.
e the senator and to show the senate
(hat the western part of the state de
manded the passage of the bill.
The senate this afternoon failed to vote
on 8. F. 179, by Haller, to provide for a
commission to Investigate the binding twine
establishment proposition. The bill came
up for passage and at the request of the
Introducer It went over, he heating that It
would be defeated unless all members of
the senate were there to vote. A petition
was read, signed by a number of Lancas
ter people objecting to the passage of the
, bill to -establish the plant. .
.The Sheldon anti-pass bill probably will
come tip for discussion In committee of
the whole In the senate tomorrow. Thla
bill makes it nulawful . for state officers
or members of-the legislature to accept
a pass from railroads. A number of stock
men In, the senate oppose the bill in its
present form, but would vote for It were
It amended so that it did not apply to
members, after the adjournment of the ses
sion. One senator said he had. been riding
on a aas for . thirty-five years because
he was shipper of stock, consequently
he did nqt belters his pass was given to
him tills .year .because ,of his election to
the senate. He was In favor of. the pass
to the state officer being -abolished.

"Mother Goose" is a delight to the senses
In every way. It is a succession of beauti
ful pictures, with some really gorgeous
scenery and a display of groupings that is
artistic in every way and so vast and
varied as to bewilder and all but daze the
spectator. Then, with all the wealth of
hues displayed to ravish the eye, it offers
some sweet muslo to tickle the ear and
enough good-humored nonsense to ' give
most people sldeache from laughter. It pre
sents some novelties In the way of ballets,
among them- the spectacle of pretty girls
gracefully twinging high in the air, whose
moyemer. as nearly approaches actual
flight as it is likely ever will be achieved
on the stage. It is simply an elaboration
of the old-time popular extravagansa, but
It has been done on a scale that far sur
passes anything we have been accustomed
to seeing. And the result Is thoroughly
satisfying.
Each of the three acts ends with a dis
play of gorgeous conception. The first,
"L'Art 'Nouveau." Is Just a little bit
strained, for certain easily discerned dif
ficulties present themselves to the one, who
seeks to give a ballet typifying the work
of the artist In various metals, textiles
and plastics, and yet It does not require
a great stretch of imagination to get the
Idea. The bevy of beauties who are pre
sented as illustrating tne art of the pot
ter, ' however, .do not . glvs . the .Idea . of
fragility generally associated by experi
ence with the ware they are-named for.
They are' rather too substantial for that.
This finished wth an entrancing tableau
showing the girls in a most effective, pose.
The really beautiful ballet is that of
"The Land of - Heartsease," where the
colors of the pansy are grouped Into one
of the most fetching moving pictures
ever seen. It is a veritable kaleidoscope
of beauty, ever changing and constantly
blending Into new combinations of softly
shaded hues, each picture seeming more
lovely than the one before, and all de
lightful. This ballet ends with the aerial
tableaux by the Grlgolatia and the flight
of a handsome woman across the audito
rium of the theater from stage to topmost
gallery. If it were not for the graceful
movements of the young women who
take part in this, it might be called sen
sational; as it Is, it is on of the roost
effective innovations ever offered. The
third" act closes with a transformation
scene that differs from the others only in
degree and not In actual attractiveness.
Joe Cawthorne, Harry Kelly and W, H.
Macart are a trio of constant laugh
breeders, and they get ample opportunity
to do their best. The roars they elicited
last night indicate the estimate placed
on their work. Corlnne, no longer "Little,"
Is now doing the work of. which she gave
promise years ago when she first became
known to the public. Her voice Is fresh
and pure, and she sings sweetly, while
she retalna her handsome figure and vi
vacity of manner that Is charming. Nettle
Aymar sings one song that is a delight,
and Edith St. Clair carries on rather reck
lessly as the aoubrette of the outfit. 'She
sings well and dances well.
The chorus and ballet Is like the rest of
the production, on a Napoleonic scale, with
a regular army of pretty girls, and a mul
titude of costumes, all pretty and widely
diversified. The local contingent, some
fifty little tots, add no. more than a mite
to the success of the show, particularly the
midgets who take part In the ballet at
the close of the second ' aot. Altogether,
the tales told of "Mother Goose" before
Its coming did not exaggerate. It is a
hit and worth the trouble of seeing. The
company will be at the Boyd until "after
a matinee performance Saturday,.

NEED SITE FOR IMMEDIATE IMPROVEMENT
Freight Honae and) Warehouse De-
alcatel for Sejnnre Between Elev.
nth nnd Twelfth, Parenport
Cnss Streets.
John L. Webster appeared on behalf of
the Omaha Bridge As Terminals company
before the council committee yesterday
afternoon and asked that the city vacate
without consideration Chicago street be
tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets and
the alley north. Mr. Webster said tha
company owns all the land surrounding
the street and - alley and that If he Se
cured the latter he was In hopes of getting
a railroad to build a large freight house
upon It; also that ha had other warehouses
and Industries In sight for the location.
He said that ha could not name the road
at this time, but it Is presumed to be tha
Wabash. Councilman Zlmman demurred at
giving up the streets for nothing, where
upon Mr. Webster told something about his
efforts to promote industrial development
in Omaha and the discouragements he had
met at the hands of other councils and
boards of county commissioners.
"Why," deolared he, "when I was trying
to get the Terminal traoka extended and
arrangements made for the Illinois Central
in 1899 I had to spend 110,000 to manufacture
public sentiment, and then did not get the
tracks where ! wanted them. Again, on
another occasion, Omaha lost the northern
terminus of the Pittsburg, Kansas City &
Gulf road because I was held up si
months by a council when I was trying
to get certain privileges."
Nobody asked Mr. Webster as to the de
tails of manufacturing public sentiment
and he did not explain. The members of
the council assured him that there would
be little) difficulty in getting what he
wants now and the matter will be put in
the regular channels.
Hatcher Has n Now One.
T. B. Hatcher, who was an Inspector of
paving for the city from May to NoVenv
ber last year, startled the councllmen by
bringing in a claim of 182.80, which he said
represented overtime at the rate of two
hours a day at 80 cents an hour. He said
he had inspected 138 days, averaging ten
hours a day, whereas he was under the im
presslon that eight houra constitute I
day's work In this climate. He had accepted
his salary warrants bearing- pay at 13 a day
and had not thought of overtime then,
Later he saw a newspaper story that
stirred his Imagination and he wanted to
know If he could not get his money. Sev
oral councllmen told Mr. Hatcher that be
sides being somewhat tardy he had sprung
something decidedly new and they wanted
time to think It over, but did not think
that they would allow the claim. Mr,
Hatcher will put his claim in writing.
Inspector of Weights and Measures Ma-
hammltt asked for the support of his horse
and wagon, which he says are indlspen
sable In file business because he has to lug
about 300 pounds of testing machinery from
place to place. The counenmen agreed to
allow 115 a month for the purpose.
' Chairman Huntington of the finance com
mittee announced that he will Introduce an
ordinance Tuesday night providing for the
Issuance of renewal bonds in the sum of
1100,000 to bear interest at 4 per cent and
to run for twenty years. They are to take
up an equal amount of funding bonds is

' City Abstractor rtartley sent a letter an
nouncing that his other duties give him no
chance to prepare a complete list of city
real estate, which list has long been wished
tor at the city hall. He has suggested that

him for the purpose temporarily and the
committee thought favorably of, his sugges
tion and will probably try to put it Into

ONE NIGHT F0RTHE WOMEN

Jolly Evening? With Wires
and Sweethearts.
-
Fifty members ' of the Nebraska Life
Underwriters' association and their wives
and sweethearts observed "ladles' night,"
Sn annual event with the association, at
the Metropolitan club last evening. The
occasion was marked with good Cheer and
fellowship, with a tempting menu and; an
Interesting and ' entertaining program.
John Dale, president of the association,
served as toastmaster. Miss Gladys Paul
sen entertained twice during the program
with piano solos, while Miss Edna Hardy,
Miss Minna A. Meyer and Mrs. Walter H.
Dale delighted their) listeners with vocal
Selections. John Steele. Mr, and Mrs,
H. D. Neely and O. W. Noble responded to
toasts. The banqueters closed the fes
tivities with three cheers and: a tiger for
"ladles' night." ,
Mrs. H. D. Neely made one of the hits
of the evening with her short and snappy
after-dinner talk. After telling her hearers
thaft- the committee had given her but
little notice; that she felt afraid If she did
not talk some might think she could not
talk; that If she did respond others would
know she could not make a speech, she
proceeded to give a talk that scintillated
with gems of thought and humor.
John Steele paid a pretty tribute to the
women in his toast on "Women as the
Factor In Life Insurance." "Woman Is not
only a factor, but the whole thing," began
Mr; Steele.' "Men may rule the world, but
the wdmen rule the men, and the latter do
not object. believe " the time will come
when Ufa insurance will be compulsory,
and no man allowed to marry a woman
unless he carries a Ufa insurance policy."

SCHOOLS IN CITY CHARTER
Matter of Consolidating Treasuries Gets a
Secret Session.
BOARD OF EDUCATION LOOKS FOR LIGHT
Uncertain as to Where It Will Bo II
Proposed Plan la Pat Throasjh
Without Specific An
Stiatcneat,
The proposed new city charter has begun
to worry members of the Board of Edu
cation and last night they held a closely
guarded executive session to learn Just how
the law would affect the school district.
Adjournment was had after three-quarters
of an hour without much light having
been shed, according to members. A com
mittee consisting of of Members Detweller,
McCaguS and Baird was appointed to in
sert the probe deeper and prepare a state'
ment tor the public, and the board's at
torney, Carl Herring, was delegated to
act in an advisory capacity in all this, as
he has spent most of his days at Lincoln
sine the legislative session began and is
presumed to know pretty nearly all that Is
going on at the state capital.
"What are you afraid of In the new char
ter T" was asked a board member.
'8h, don't speak so loud," he returned
in a hoarse whlHper. "We don't want to
be left In the soup. If this charter goes
through as planned, that may be where
the school district will be."
What They Art Worried Over.
'Well, the charter does not touch the
school district on anything except finances,
does itt Perhaps you think the consoli
dation of the city and county treasury de
partments and the taxing departments will
not result in getting the taxes in or some
of them will be diverted away from the
distrlott" -
"I won't tell. Can't say anything about
it tonight It' would not be good policy.
The special committee will have a big
statement, though, tor the public tomor
row. But if the people of this town want
to shut their eyes to their own Interests
and let this charter go through, all right.
But it will be one of the worst things for
them they ever did."
And this was about all that could be
drawn for a time from tha school board
members Individually or collectively. When
ever the subject of finances and tax col
lections was broached they shuddered and
turned away.
After a period several members were In
duced to agree that it is the proposed
consolidation of the treasury departments
that caused the apprehension. The law
under which the Board of Education de
rives its authority refers to a "city treas
urer" who shall also be treasurer of the
school district and give a bond thereto for
the faithful handling- of the moneys. The
new charter would do away with the city
treasurer and make no proviso for a school
district treasurer or for the county treas
urer to do the work, give a bond or be In
any way amenable to the district. If the
charter bill becomes a law the members
want all this set right and proper, so as
to make sure of the revenues.
Bays a New Lot.
Besides the star chamber recess the board
agreed to make purchase of a lot 200 feet
wiae and 466 feet deep, running through
from the boulevard to Vinton street Just
west of the Vinton school. The lot will be
nougnt from Thomas Begley for 16,000.
It is wanted as a site for a new. larso
school building, to be erected to replace
the present collection of buildings that con
stitute the Vinton school. The present lot
is considered tpo. small for the improve
ment. ' While hajf of the tract to be pur
chased and the old- lot would afford enough
space, it was stated that the half could
not be purchased on terms anything like
what were obtained for the whole piece.
Members McCague and Detweller declared
tha deal a great bargain. If It Is decided
to use halt the lot and the old site, the
other half of the new tract can easily be
sold, it Is declared, for nearly, if not as
much, as was paid for the whole, as it
has a business frontage on Vinton street.
Two acres are included In the deal, and
Instructions were given to consummate 1!,
Bancroft Wonts More Ground.
A petition was received from about 100
patrons of the Bancroft school asking that
additional ground be purchased there for
an extension fronting on Tenth street to
afford a play-ground for the girl pupils.
It waa staled that a Tenth street passage
to the school la desirable as two-thirds
of the patrons live to the west. The board
took the matter under consideration and Is
understood to view the proposition favora
bly If the ground can b' obtained at a
reasonable price.
Henry Hansiey, Mrs. Jennie Hutchinson
and Mrs. Harriet E. Smith applied for
the position of Janitor at the new Central
Park school annex.
James Daly offered 1200 fer the old Beals
school building and John Belter 175. The
propositions were referred to a committee.

of the present day, and by the Omaha
Festival chorus under Ben Stanley Pauer,
who has at one time or another been at
the head of the moat prominent symphony
organizations, now has what is said to be
one of the finest orchestras In the country.
It Is backed by tec wealthy Pittsburg men,
who yearly make up a deficit of 130,000.
The orchestra gives thirty or forty con
certs a year In Pittsburg.
The Innes band will fill an entire week

There has been something of an ocho of
the bridge fight at Lincoln In the Douglas
county court house. This is in the sense
that the commissioners and tha county sur
veyor here have their own ideas of the
bill that ought to pass and the one that
ought to be killed. Yet this county Is
really better situated than perhaps any
other In the state with regard to bridges.
The commissioners have been letting con
tracts for the last two years under uni
form plans and specifications prepared by
County Surveyor Eilqulst and his assist
ants, Besides, there ia very little bridge
Work being done in Pouglas county at
present
The only contract bridge now under con
struction, of. steel, is the Snyder bridge,
being built by the John Gllllgan Bridge
company. The contract price s 16,234, of
which 11,108.00 has been paid. Owing to
his false work being carried away by the
breaking lee, the contractor has been de
layed in his' Work. He began putting the
Iron In place Monday morning and expects
to rush the bridge to completion in short
order now,
Contrncts for Bridges.
What Is known as the "running bridge
oon tract" 1n this county is now held by
John W. Towle. He builds pile bridges
as ordered at stated figures for piling,
superstructure, lumber, etc. '
On January 1, 1905, there was In the
bridge fund of the county 148,908.91, Al
lowing for the Gllllgan contract and for
the work likely to be dons under the Towle
contract. County Surveyor' Edquist esti
mates that when the annual levy is made
in July ty the commissioners there should
be a. balance left in the fund of close to
140,000, . .
On ths matter of bridge legislation, the
Poualas county commissioners went on
record recently, by resolution printed In The
Bee, as being in favor of Senate File 184
and opposed to House Roll 869. The first Is
the so-called county engineers' bill and
the second Is the bill which would give
to the state engineer the power to require
county boards and county engineers to get
.from him plans and . specifications for
every bridge to cost over 1300. -.
'Dona-las la Diffurfnt.
County Surveyor Edquist, giving his rea
sons for being against this bill, said:
"Douglas county has a metropolitan elty
to wWch all Its roads lead. What would be
good for a small Interior county would not
be good for us at all. We should not be
compelled to go through a lot of red tape
procedure to enable us tq build small
bridges as necessity may require. The
system under which we are now working,
and have been for two years. Is that em
bodied in Senate File 184. That was passed
two years age, but was beaten on a tech
nicality In the courts by a suit brought by
Bridge Contractor Sheely of Lincoln. It
has saved this county a great deal of
money and I believe we ere all heartily In
favor of It."
- In the matter of road building the eounty
authorities are doing, but little gt present,
except to make repairs as needed. There
s always more or less grading going on,
but the new work In ths way of road
making Is never begun until after the
annual county levy Is made by the county
commissioners In July. In the road fund
on January there was 111,717.87 and there
will be a large part of this left when ths
new levy Is mads.
