MARY'S NEW BONNET A HIT
Dig; Crowd at Crelghtoa Hall En
tertalned by Amateur
Players.
Mary did not have a little lamb, but she
had a new bonnet. Mary and her new bon
net were exploited last evening on the
stage atthe Crelghton University audi
torium by a company of amateur actors,
representing the Mikron Alpha PI, a local
Greek letter society. A Jalr Bej audience
witnessed the production, which averaged
up well so far as amateur efforts go.
Whiles fhe first act showed ' considerable
timidity on the part of the young Thespians,
the second act warmed up to the extent
that a well merited curtain call was do-
taeutar affair In which almost 1.000 girls manded at the close of that act. to which
and boys take part, representing fairies, ' Eugene Royce and fellow actors responded
gracefully. Whatever criticism might be
offered, It must Re said the actors did their
best and evidently pleased those In front.
The play was dramatized by Miss Jessie
Barton, after the story by Duer, and was
produced before In Omaha with success.

With reference to bill boards, Mr. Stod
dard reported to the league the removal

if Twentieth and Harney streets. He
read a circular letter which he had pre
pared for transmission to the secretaries
df the various Improvement clubs of the
city , requesting that these olubs co
operate with the league to secure the en
forcement of ordinances regarding bill
boards. The clubs are requested to re
port all Infractions of the laws coming
under their notice.
Lighting: Committee's Report.
The report of the committee on lights,
Indorsed by the league, was In part as
follows:
Your committee believes that for the
business district the electric lights are
the best, but that they should be taken
from the .poles and placed on ornamental
posts no higher than gas lamps, aa they
Inse most of their value when nlneeii un
high In the air, and the poles at present
are very uiiBigiuiy ana aangerous.
Your committee Is of the opinion that
gas lamps give the best satisfaction In
the residence districts and should be used
wherever the gas mains are located. As
for the extra electric lights to be placed
this year, your committee believes they
should be placed in the outside residence
district, as the business district Is llirhted
liy thousands of lights paid for by private
parties in illuminating signs.
Chairman Slabaugh announced that a
cash prize of $5 would be given this spring
to the boy or girl under 16 years of age
writing the best essay on "How to Beautify
and Improve Omaha." Mrs. S. R. Towne is

Stephen Morris, chairman of the charity
committee, made some remarks of the ne
cessity for better provisloat for the care
of sick strangers within the city. He cited
the cases of Jesse Abel, who lay for two
days in the police station, delirious from
erysipelas; also that of D. R. Rundcl, who
walked the streets too feeble to get out
of the way of an automobile.
AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAIIA
PANICKY FEELING ON 'CHANGE
Ira-eat Liquidation Read Prices
Dow with at Rash on
Wall Street.
NEW TORK. April 29. Panicky condi
tions developed In the Stock exchange In
the second hour of today's trading. Ur
gent liquidation, apparently forced In char
acter, threw an enormous volume of stocks
n. the market and the buying demand
seemed paralysed. Prices crumbled rapidly
and as a consequence St. Paul slumped 5ft
points on wide Intervals between sales.
Vnlon Pacific, van carried down 2, United
States Steel preferred I. New York Central
i. Reading 3. Atlantic Coast Line 7V4.
Louisville & Nashville 894, Northwestern
preferred M4. Buffalo, Rochester & Pitts
burg 114. Tennessee Coal 514, Metropolitan
Securities 4H. Pressed Steel Car and Kan
sas & Texas preferred 4 polnta.
The break In prices was accompanied
by various rumors and reports reflecting an
the solvency of Institutions and Individuals.
There was tremendously heavy selling
from such out-of-town points as Philadel
phia, Pittsburg, Chicago and Boston. Ths
two cities first named unloaded enormous
quantities of Steel stocks. The decline
was accelerated by the heavy, short sell'
lug of cliques and by room traders gener
ally. Stop loss orders were uncovered In
all the active stocks, and aa usual on an
ocailon of this sort, many weakly mar
fitted accounts were sold out at great
nr-riflce. A canvass among the brokers
in the financial district elicited no real
reasons for today's sharp declines, al
though it has been the . opinion of the
banking element for some weeks past that
prices were beyond reason. The bank
statement, which on ordinary conditions

Arrangement for Entertaining Delegate!
to A. 0. U. W. ConTention, '
ILLUMINATION TO BE A MAIN FEATURE
Streets Will Be Brlahtly Lighted
While Visitors Are la Town and
Ko Minnies Will Be Allowed
to Haas; Idle.
Committees In charge of arranging for
the state convention of the Ancient Order
of United Workmen, to be held here, com
mencing May 9, held a lengthy session at
the temple on Friday night and perfected
a number of details. One of the import
ant features arranged was for a big elec
tric, light display. It Is estimated that
about 1,000 Incandescent lights will be used
In this display. Strings of lights will be
run from Twenty-fourth and M streets one
block west to the temple and from
Twenty-fifth and N north to the temple.
Rows of lights will be placed around the
east and south cornices of the temple and
over the windows. Above the main en
trance the shield and anchor, the emblem '
of the order, will be designed In electric
lights. It may be that arches across the
streets may be erected Instead of stringing
the lights along the streets. Mayor
Koutsky Is to be asked to Issue a proc
lamation requesting the business men to
decorate their store windows with, em
blems ef the order.
Arrangements are being made to secure
the large hall over the fci;y hall building
for a lobby for the delegates and visitors.
None of the hotels In the business portion
of the 'city have lobbies large enough to
accommodate a large gathering. By se
curing this large hell, delegates can put
In their spare time reading, writing or In
conversation.
One of the greatest problems Is the
hotel accommodations. It Is thought that
a large proportion of the visitors will stop
In Omaha. ' For the noonday meal the
visitors will be served at the large din
ing room at the Exchange building. Those
who do not desire to go so far will find
meals at the regular restaurants.
W. H. Brayton has been employed to
take charge of the rooming of delegates.
So far about 100 rooms in private families
have been engaged. Members of the order
in South Omaha propose entertaining; as
many of the delegates as they can.
Drill teams of lodges No. 66 and No. 227
are to meet trains carrying delegates at
the depots in Omaha and South Omaha
and escort delegations to the temple in
this city and see that they are as
signed to sleeping quarters. These teams
will appear in uniform.
On Tuesday evening, May 9, the first day
of the convention, thero will be a smoker
at the Exchange dinlngroom. Light re
freshments will be served and addresses
delivered by some of the prominent dele
gates. About 1500 has been raised among
the packers, stock yards and business men
to assist in defraying the expenscsf en-
Grand officers of the state organization
are to be elected, but no date has been
set for this order of business. .The nunv
ber of candidates for the prominent offices
Increases every day. Jacob Jaskalek has
served two terms as grand master work
man and he is a candidate for a third
term
The expectation Is that the convention
will last three and four days. Delegates
will commence arriving on Monday, May
8. Owing to the large membership in the
three Workmen lodges here 'a great deal
of Interest is being shown in the com
ing convention and South Omaha people
promise to give the delegates and visitors
a hearty welcome.
Ryan Leaves Cudahy Company,
E. C. Ryan, superintendent of the ham
house at the Cudahy plant, severed his

Shortly after noon yesterday Mr. Ryan was
called into the main office at the plant and
was considerably surprised to meet a large
number of the employes. In behalf of the
employee of the company Attorney Sears

a purse containing 1400. Mr. Sears spoke of
Mr. Ryan's long service with the company
and stated that the heads of departments
and otlier employes had decided to present
him with a purse as an indication of their
esteem. Mr. Ryan was taken completely
by surprise and for a moment could not
find words to express his gratitude. In an
exceedingly feeling manner he thanked the
employes for the gift. Mr. Ryan intends
going Into the brokerage buiiness In Omaha.

Aycr's Hair Vigor has now been on the
market for sixty years, and we have never
known it to fail to restore color to gray hair.
That's a pretty strong statement, isn't U2
But we stand back of every word we write,
and we can positively assure you that if you
want the color restored to your gray hair,
Ayer's Hair Vigor will do it every time.
YoUr ordinary, everyday common sense tells
yov that it's better to trust something that
has been tried for sixty years, rather than
some thing you only heard of yesterday; isn't
that SO? J. C AVER CO, Lowell, Mass.
