Only in the fifth round did tho Milwaukee boxer do well. The first and third rounds were an even break, while the other rounds were Decker's.

March 31 To the Editor of The Bee: In last night's Bee, under the cap tion, "Minnesota Seizes Company," your paper says: "The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance company recently built the Minneapolis Auditorium building." etc. That Is an error. The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance company does not build auditoriums or any other buildings any where. It was the Northwestern National that started to build an auditorium at Min neapolis. That company commenced its career In Omaha October 5, 18S8, and moved to Minneapolis In 1S96. Since then that company has reorganized and changed name several times and has absorbed some fourteen or more small assessment and stipulated premium companies, and as In all such cases received only the deteriorated risks, but by putting Hens on the policies and scaling down claims has succeeded In doing a lucrative business (for the man agers). The company became known and was dubbed by the Insurance press as "a dealer In second-hand goods" because it was made up almost exclusively of defunct associa tions. The best haul It ever made was when It reinsured the Northwestern Life nnd Savings company pf Des Moines, which at one time wus a large bond (gold brick) company. At an examination made of the company last year It was shown that the daughter of the president of the company bought a lot In Minneapolis for $37,ono and then sold the lot to tiie company for $50,000; one of the officers had drawn a check on the com pany's funds for personal use for $3,500 and charged to commission account, and other crookedness of a similar nature. JOHN STEEL, General Agent Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company. The Science of Classical Manic OMAHA, April l.-To the Editor of The Bee: The average man and woman wond ers what all the furore Is about, concern ing Wagner music. Anyone who went to Parsifal" expecting to hear anything re sembling melody was disappointed. It is a nussnge of harmony of a higher order that Wagner attempts to bring the people to an appreciation of, with wonderful voices and wonderful orchestral effect. There Is no gainsaying, some people have not the ear to appreciate these subtle and less har monious harmonies nnd whether the aver age ear will yet be educated to them is a mooted question. It Is significant that at "Parsifal," out of an orchestra of fifty-four pieces, forty three were stringed Instruments of the violin order, besides one harp. There was no clash In harsh discord In this opera "Parsifal." It may Interest some to have put In sim ple form for them what is meant by classic music in less harmonious hnrmonies or mu sic In higher ratios. The following is from 'A sketch of the story of music from the early ages, long before It was written to the present time, Including the singing voice," written as a pastime by the undersigned: "In order that two sounds may blend In harmony their resultant acoustic curves must represent the simplest ratios. There are only eight in music and the simpler tho ratios the more harmonious the tone. That Is, the sound wave strikes the drum mem brane In a manner favorable and attuned to the organ of hearing. All other tones conflict with this crucial test, making when sounded together discord and noise. No ear can tune two tuning forks with the precis- Ion as Is done by making them render on a screen the mathematical accoustlc curves. First Is tho curve of the octave and re sembles somewhat the shape of a horse shoe and Is the relation of the tone gfven by one half the string to the whole string. A note and Its octave form the purest har mony In musio. Next Is the curve, resemb ling a wreath, of the Interval of a fifth or the relation of the whole string to two thirds of the string, this Is the next perfect harmony. Next Is tho Interval of a fourth, or the whole string to three-fourths of the string. Now In order of pure harmony we have these ratios, getting less harmonious until at the seventh the ordinary ear has a hard time Indeed to get cn rapport: 1 Is to 1 Is unison. 1 is to 2 octave. 2 Is to 3 fifth. 3 is to 4 fourth. 4 Is to 6 major third. 6 is to 6 minor third. 6 is to 7 sixth. 7 is to 8 seventh. "The original pentachord or five strings of the Greeks, authorities differ about. It probably was at least these, the octave, fifth, fourth and third. The first three when sounded these early music lovers lik ened to nature's purest music made by the planets traveling In their orbits, the musio of the spheres. "Modern musio adopted the major and minor thirds and on these two chords, more brilliant although less strictly harmonious than tho original rentachord, all modern musio la written the perfect major and minor chords. "If now by a little study of the ratios. keeping well to the Interval of the seventh, and If your ear can appreciate the har monica that arise In sympathy by resonance In tone color, by a great orchestra playing under the master mind of a musical genius, you will not fall short of an explanation of classic music as explalnod In part to your ears by science." GEORGE WILKINSON. Biennial Elections Bill. OMAHA, March 31. Governor John H. Mickey, Lincoln: Dear Sir In reference to the bill abolishing annual elections, now before you for consideration, I desire to make known to you my reasons why the same should be vetoed, because I believe ou consider the Interests of the masses, judging from your attitude In affairs in Douglas county of which I am cognizant. There is an ever present sentiment among a certain small class of citizens In favor of abolishing juries, of establishing Ufa tenure In office and anything else to separate them selves as far as possible from the less for- unato class of society, not merely socially. but In both business and politics. It Is this class comDinea wun me class wno use money In elections, Importing or colonizing voters to carry elections, who desire our elections so consolidated that the Importer f voters Instead of the state may save money. The ballot Is regarded as the most effect ual weapon for the oppressed and down trodden, and should be recognized also as a safety valve for the security of the opulent and powerful, who from time to time are reminded of the voice of the people through our annual elections. A valuable attribute of citizenship, such as the ballot, should be exercised at least once a year even as a mere ordinance or re minder of the duty and value of citizenship If for no other reasons. Young men are yearly becoming of age, and foreigners are constantly coming to our shores, and the annual elections provoke public discussion of public officials and political economy which Is as beneficial to a republic or state as the education of children In public schools. It us continue with our annual elections Just as our churches may con tinue with their weekly services, so that we may examine into the fitness of a part of our officials each yeai, and continue to keep separate as far as possible ths judiciary Xros the etbaf BfaAtbaa of gov ernment under the spirit of our constitu tion. I have written this letter at the Instance of many who share with me the sentiments expressed herein, and send It to add reasons supplementary to suggestions already made public, among the strongest of which Is its unconstitutionality. Upon this question our citizens will be compelled to rely upon the judgment of the governor as the only authority who can consider the question and render nn un biased opinion because of the fact that the proposed law makes every Judge of our state an intercsetd party. JOHN O. TEISER. EiermlTe Benta In Omaha. OMAHA. March 31. To the Editor of The Bee: At the outset let it be said that It Is not the Intention of this letter to give Omaha a bad name, nor In any way Injure the commercial standing. But facts are facts. We must face true conditions. We are a growing city, but our retail district, our retail traJe Is not much larger than It has been for the last ten years. I especially refer to the trade of the smaller stores, particularly leaving out of the question the three department stores. It is time that there are some newcomers here. It Is also a fact that many (and quite a few recently), old firms are out of business. It Is a well known fact among business men that a large per cent of the present list of merchants In the downtown district are making no more than a living. At first glance this may seem exaggerated, but It remains the truth. But why Is It? Our condition is apparently prosperous. Our population has increased. There Is only one answer the rent monthly rents are exorbitant. There lies the secret of the unprosperous condition of our merchants. I can Justly say that Omaha merchants are paying twice more than what Is enough for their locations. It Is unnecessary to cite Instances or any particular cases. What Is true on one corner, on one street. Is true on another. The merchants are as loyal to Omaha as any class can be, but Omaha money goes to the land and the building sharks; a few of them live here, but most of them live out of the city. The city Is being talked about. It Is being pushed. We tell of Its Immense business possibilities and what Is the result? The moment a store room Is vacant fifty people, 90 per cent rep resent outside firms, are on the ground. Th landlord sways his power of extortion until ho finds a tenant that comes to bis terms. It is then that the battle begins for the merchant He advertises, he labors twelve to sixteen hours a day trying In every way possible to make things go to meet his rent and pay his expenses, and what has he left for himself? A mere raltry sum. Yet he must keep up an ap pearance, spend money when others can pull their pocketbook strings and he must keep boosting the town for fear Omaha will call him a knocker. And here Omaha must eventually face the facts face to face. Can our mcj-chants stand the pressure? How long? Here are a few facts of high rent and not extraordinary locations, principally se lected for their not so prominent locations. There are much higher rents than these: Northeast corner Sixteenth and Harney, jeweler, $-'50 monthly. Other stores In same building, $200 monthly. Butcher, Sixteenth and Harney, $250 monthly. Stores opposite Her Grand, $75 monthly. Stores next to Board of Trade on Far- nam, $100 monthly. Stores on Fifteenth street. In Crelghton block, $125 monthly. W. J. W.
