OMAHA GETS THE BIG MUTUAL
National Association Endorses Plan
and Sclreta Omaha Company to
Be the National Company.
At the convention of the Natlonul Asso
ciation of Mutnal Insurance Companies,
held In Chicago March 7 to 10, resolutions
were adopted endorsing the organization' of
a national mutual fire Insurance company,
and the TransmltisiHSippt Mutual Fire as
sociation of Omaha has been selected for
thla work.
The plan contemplates reorganization, to
operate with a guaranty reserve of $300,000
under the recently, enacted Ncbraxka laws.
It proposes to enter all the statea and to
help the local muluals by carrying their
surplus lines, which will enable them to
writs many risks not now open to them. In
some slates the law forbids mutuale to
write in the cities, restricting them to coun
ties. The couipuuy proposes to carry city
business for the mutual agents.
A number of compunles and localities
were contesting for thla national compaay,
but the Transniisslsalppl Mutual Fire As.
pociatlon of Omaha drew the prise. C. ri
Mable, who is a brother of the secretary
of the Transmisstselppl Mutual, and has
had a very extensive experience In financial
matters of thla kind, is here to take an ac
tive port In enlisting support In the raising
of the 2ii0,0i0 guaranty reserve. It Is ex
pected that about 3.000 mutuals will be con
tributing buslnen to this company.

LARGE GRAND OPERA RECEIPTS
Conrled's Metropolitan Company
Draws an Extraordinary Volume
of Business In Chicago.
(i. SohlrHterbeck, In clm-Ee r the tour
across the continent for the Confled Met
ropolitan Opera company, arrived In the
city yesterday for a general round up of
the local sltuutlon as It relates to the
series of two performances of grand opera
scheduled for the Auditorium on Wednes
day and Thursday next, March J nnd 30.
He brings Information from Chicago that
total receipts there for the week of opera,
closing Inst evening reached tho enormous
sum of 380,000, the larget amount ever
taken In for eight consecutive performances
in the whole history of grand opera. The
cauxe of this sensational achievement must
he found In the magnificent performances
given by the Conrled company, thanks to
such world eminent stars as Mme. Sem
brtch, Fremstad, Messrs. Caruso, Burg
stalk r, etc.
From Minneapolis Mr. Schlntterheck
brings the news that the three perform
ances there scheduled for tomorrow and
Tuesday have practically all been Bold out,
a record never before attained In that
city. He lays It Is no exaggeration to
state that not less than 1,000 people have
failed to secure tickets for the "Parsifal"
and Caruso performances in Minneapolis,
so eager In the demand.
The Conrled company, according to Mr.
Bchlotterbeck's statements. Is pitched to
the highest point of enthusiasm by the tre
mendous audftnees It has had In every
elty visited thus far In this, the most
elaborate tour ever undertaken. Not a
change, has been made In a single cast, not
one substitution. The artists are over
enthused at the . warm welcome extended
them everywhere and find pleasure In giv
ing the beat at their dlnposal, with the re
suit of such performances as have never
been equalled anywhere.
Superlatives have practically been ex
hausted In describing the beauties of the
Caruse voice, yet the Chicago critics de
clared ' on Tuesday morning last, after
hearing his work in "Lucia dl Lammer
moor," that the half had never been told
and that to hear Caruso and 8embrlch
In so melodious an opera waa a treat
never to be forgotten. MuhIc lovers of
Omaha will have the opportunity on Thurs
day evening D"xt of hesrlug both the
artists In their mosi effective roles, the
on as Edgar, the ithrr as Lucia, and
those who fail to take advantage of this
occasion will hardly forgive t!n;iit.-l vn.
The performance of "Parsifal" on Wed
nesday evening next will be tin event in
the musical life In Omaha. Scenery for
the production will ariiv In tl:is city
from Minneapolis on TuesCay evening, the
panoramic barrel will .he put In place
early Wednesday morning, and whenthe
company arrives In the city everything
will be prepared on the Auditorium stage
for their reception. This performance will
begin at fi p. m., with the first act ending
at 6:45. Then will follow an Intermission
of two hours, the second act beginning at
8:46, and the whole ending at about 11:30.
The cast will be a notable one, since It In
cludes Mr. Bui entailer, the original Parsi
fal as coached by Madam Wagner her
self; Miss Olive Fremxtad aa Kundry, who
has absolutely no equal in this role; Mr.
Robert Iilass as Gurnemiint, and Mr. Otto
Gorltu as Klingsor.
The advance sale has been gratifylhgly
large and every indication Is that tho
Auditorium will be taxed to Its capacity
for the "Parsifal" performance on Wednes
day next, but particularly on the occasion
of the "Lucia dl Lammermoor" presenta
tion on Thursday evening.
Owing to the continued demand for popu
lar priced seats for "Luela dl Iammer
moor" next Thursday evening at the Audi
torium, the management has arranged for
500 extra seats on the main floor at 31
each. These will go on sale tomorrow
morning.
