Thursday's rainfall of over two Inches
lias put Micsourl avenue In an almost Im
passable condition. In a number of places
the street car tracks are covered with
mud, and It Is wltlh difficulty that cars
could be operated yesterday, on account of
the soft track. At Twentieth and Mis
souri avenue a newer, recently laid, washed
out. and there Is a big hole In the road
way. All the way eitst on Missouri avenue
from Twentieth street to Thirteenth street
the roadway on both aides of the street
car tracks is badly washed, and even light
teams are having a difficult time getting,
through. Cellars all along this portion of
the avenue were filled with water and
many of the residents spent a good portion
of Tuesday night and yesterday carrying
water out of their cellars In buckets.
Many became so disgusted, that they
Ftated that some steps should be taken
at once to rv the street. Mayor Koutsky
haa arranged for temporary repairs, but
he said that to put the street in a, passable
condition It would take quite a sum of
money. Vnless the city Is able to go ahead
with the paving under the Murphy contract,
which was let before the new charter be
came effective it la thought that the prop
erty owners will be willing to sign a pe
tition for the paving.
Many cellars all over the city were
flooded and It waa a common sight yester
day to see men carrying water from base
ments. Borne of the business blocks on
Twenty-fourth street suffered considerably.
Hardly any estimate of the total damage
can be made. Just as soon as the ground
dries the street force will go to work fill
ing holes and making repairs to washed out
cross walks.
Storm Decrease Receipt.
On account of the storm Thursday and the
snow In the weet and northwest, very few
live stock owners shipped stock to this
market. The receipts yesterday were the
lightest for a Friday for several months.
Cattle receipts were only 441 head, hogs,
2,669, and sheep 8,973. In consequence of
the heavy falling off In receipts there was
little doing at the yards yesterday, and
commission men went home early. The
storm only tends to defer shipments headed
this way, and the expectation Is the early
part of next week will show heavy runs.
Moves lata Kfw Quarters.
The South Omaha Commercial club has
moved Into what Is expected to be per
manent quarters In the Bergqulst block.
Twenty-fourth and L streets. Secretary
Culver stated yesterday afternoon that as
soon as the rooms were settled the club
would have a pleasant place for meetings,
and that the secretary's offices would be
open dally during usual business hours.
"New members are coming In right along,"
said Mr. Culver, "and the prospects of an
effective organisation are favorable just
as long aa the club keeps out of politics."
Firemen Hare Hard Ran.
Friday forenoon an alarm of fire from
Thirty-first and F streets came In and the
firemen had a hnrd run through the mud.
The tar shnnty c ceupied by Patrick Mor
timer was on fire and, owing to- the con
dition; . ot. the roads, the -structure. -was
about destroyed by the time the depart
ment arrived.
Chief Garrett estimates the loss at $150.
Mortimer was boiling a kettle of tar over
his stove when the tar boiled over, setting
the shanty on fire. Not even the tar
bucket was saved. At one time Mortimer
worked on the street gang, but of late
he had done nothing but a little garden
ing He loses everything he had, as his
shanty and effects were not insured. It
took several hours' work on the part of
the firemen to wash the hose and clean the
wagons and horses after the run through
the mud.
Will Observe Arbor Day.
Arbor day will be observed today by the
closing of the city offices and the banks.
There will be only one delivery 6f mall

Suffered from Brain fag
Mr. N. O. Ponnay, 92 Second St.,
Portland, Ore., President Interna
tional Printing and Pressmen's Union
for V. B. and Canada, writes:
"Last winter 1 was so busy that I
frequently had to work until late in
the evening. This, with hasty and
Irregular meals, soon undermined my
constitution, and I found that my
strength was about to give way. I
became weak and tired, and suffered
from frequent brain fag.
"F ive hottlra of Pernna restored
me to health and since that time
I have kept it constantly In the
house and the entire family have
found It an efficacious household

It Is the laboring man who faces the
exigencies of climate and braves the
dangers of changing seasons.
Pc-ru-na for Kidney Trouble
Mr. M. Broderick, Financial Secretary Stable Employes Union No. 1041, Chicago,
111., writes:
"I hnve been aufTcrlnB; from n weak bark and kidney trouble for
some time and have hern able to find relief only thronah the use of
" Perunn.
"During the winter season I usually keep a bottle of your medicine In the house
and by taking a dose at night, I am feeling fine the next morning.
"Some of my friends assure me that Peruna is equally as good for their various
ailments as it is for my complaint. I do ynow that for kidney trouble and suffer
ing from a weak back It has no equaJ.
The drouth and the strike, the cold
vrave and the epidemic, all affect the
laboring: man more readily than any
other class of people.
Good health Is an absolute necessity with
these people. Invalidism Is not compatible
with success.
There is no one thing so disastrous to
the laboring man as catarrh Id some phase
or form.
Catarrh Is the areatest enemy of
the hnman family, and especlnlly
that portion of the family nho mnt
earn their livelihood by honest toll.
For this reason Peruna comes to the
laboring man aa a priceless remedy.
It not only becomes his household
teinedy for that multitude of family ail
ments dependent upon the vicissitudes of
climate, but It becomes his own remedy
whenever catarrh In any form begins to
manifest Itself.
"Mr. William J. Herger. Morgan Bros. Ship Yard, Seattle, Wash., President Pro
tected Union of Engineers, writes:
"I was troubled for some time with acute indigestion and palpitation of the
heart, which distressed mi greatly. I took pills and other medicines dally, but
found that as soon as I stopped I was worse off that ever.
"HelriK advised to nse Peruna, Iaoon found that It bronaht a won
derful rliangr In my entire system. It cleared up the alnaalsh chan
nels of my digestive oraun and usslsted nature In relieving: Itself of
the waste.
"It restored my strength, Increased my appetite and gradually restored me to
perfect health."
A Victim of Worry end Overwork

Mr. I,ee M. Hart, General Secretary
Theatrical Stage Employes' National Alli

"I waa badly run down by reason of
worry and overwork and felt that it
won'd he necessary for me to take a
Iny-oft nnd recupernte at some re
sort, bnt the auvaestlon was made to
me by a friend that I give Peruna a
trial."
"I procured a bottle and took It regulajly
for a week, at which time I began to feel
much belter
"I have been feeling nil right ever since
and think It is but fair to give Peruna
credit for putting me In normal shopo
again."
Not alone from economic reasons
does the lnbnrcr find Peruna n vnln
ahle remedy in the household, bnt In

Mr. Christ. T. Timmlns, Financial Secre
tary Hod Carriers and Building
Laborers Union No. 4, Chicago, 111.,
writes.
"Your medicine has worked won

"My work Is considered rather hard

"Numerous remedies were tried. I
read a few testimonials In one of the
8unday papers regarding the merits of

Country Roads Bad.
All of the country roads leading Into
South Omaha are nearly hub deep In mud
on account of the heavy rains of Thursday.
The result was that very few farmers
ventured Into the city yesterday and trad

With a few days of sunshine the roads
will be good and hard again and by Mon
day at the latest country teams will be
coming Into the city the same as usual.

for Bizet's "Carmen" was never given a

The opera Itself fulfills every requirement

so perfectly. Its coquettish cigarette girls,
dancing gipsies, gay toreadors, how they go

Good Friday cant:ita Is of considerable
musical merit. The composition ia di
vided into the introduction and the seven
woids. each having a separate movement.
The chorus of twenty sang very well, show
ing the hard work they have done under i
Mrs. Kirschstein. The parts were evenly 1
balanced and the tone smooth and the ,
whole cflpr-t pleasing. I
Mrs. C. A. Mangum. who took the so- j
prano polo part, sang the introduction ?
sweetly and also showed well in the third
word. "See, O, Woman! here behold thy ;
Son Beloved," and again In the last word, j
"It Is Finished." James Knight sang
the tenor parts fairly well, and H. B.
McPherrin gave a rather pleasing Inter- !
pretation of the baritone part. The tenor :
and baritone had many solos and ducts,
and also sang with the chorus. It might
be said altogether the chorus work was j
better than the solo parts. The sopranos I
who took part were Mrs. C. A. Mangum, ;
ter. and so Mr. Broed decided to give some
aspiring colored people a chance to make
good. The performers furnished a lot of
fun. the effects of the various kinds and
degrees of stage fright being amusing and
often laughable. Those who mastered their
emotions enough to stand up and face the
audience did very well. The program1 was
chiefly singing and dancing.

ances of the day which could keep the peo
ple away from such music.
Mr. Emanuel wielded the conductor's
baton so easl.y, and going through the en
tire performance without his score, seemed
to bring about that feeling of entire rap
portement which Is so delightful.
Of Marion Ivell. the youngest of all
American singers to undertake this favor
ite contralto role, words In praise cannot
be heaped up too much for her. Her deep,
velvety voice, ao rich and powerful and of
Buch an Immense range, made a wonderful
Impression from first to last. Her rendi
tion of the daring "Avenero," the gay "Se
guldilla," her mockery of the big Morales,
were superb. In the cool, myterlous caye
of the smugglers, as she does her stirring
dance with the clinking castanets, she Is
like a young panther In her slnuousness
and subtle grace. She is an Ideal Carmen
what more can one say?
Mlchaela, the little peasant girl, who Is
so womanly and tender, ta well portrayed
by Jean Lane Brooks. Her voice, of that
warm dramatic quality, its lower notes of
the heart-breaking 'cello-like tones, never
for an Instant failed She could sing on and
on. only to draw Just a little more from
her immense reserve. How like humanity
It all is that Don Jose could turn from her
sweet simplicity and purity to the more
alluring graces of the careless, insufficient
Carmen.
Mr. Roberts, while physically small for
the part he plays aa Don Jose, rose to the
demands made upon him In fine style. He
sang with great feeling and tenderness,
lacking only a little of the ideal In his In
terpretation. Especially well did he sing
In his duo with Michaela In his moments
of home longing.
As the daring toreador, Mr. Arthur Deane
made his most decided hit at his entrance
to the gipsy's camp in the mountains and
solo following. His rendition of the famous
song of the "Toreador'' clings to one in
spite of all the other airs. Mr. Richards
did well In the small amount of work he
has to do, much better than he did as the
herald in "Lohengrin." The minor parts,
In fact, were all well taken, the ensembles
were all well sung, giving that most pleas
ing effect of spontaneity. The chorus did
absolutely brilliant work at times, and
were also well costumed.
The scenic effects throughout were fine,
this opera being one in which Mr. Savage
haa made a special feature of the settings.
It waa certainly a gala Bight. Today we
