END OF SCHILLER CELEBRATION
Preaentatlon of William Tell" at the
Boyd Tonlaht Cloaea the
' Anniversary Festival.
The final rehearsal of Schiller's treat
and Immortal drama of "Wilhelm Tell"
was given last night at Washington hall
by the looul , talent that will produce the
drama-are 'the-Boyd theater 'this evening:
The participants are all amateurs, and
the production will be given under the
direction of Fred Wallherg. There are
forty-two persons In the cast, all of them
being German residents of Omaha, and
members of the various German societies.
Tho production will be given In German.
The costuming and stago setting of the
drama will be very elaborate, following as
closely as possible the costumery of the
early presentation of the play, and, being
In the original German, promises to be of
exceptional Interest. The rehearsals thus
far have adhered to the German and SwIrs
Ideals, and although the taint Is non-pro-f
national a number of especially talented
performers are In the cast.
V Those participating In the cast are:
Frits Klenke, Philip Andres, Ernest
pacully, Frit i Freltag, Carl Rober, Emil
Beume, Albert Wichert, Peter Laur, 'Wil
liam Stoeckor, John Lehmkuhl, Walter
Schmidt, Adam Riedmann, J. Welnfurtner,
Otto .Walt her, Marie Breler, Julia, Held,
Herman Kraft, William Meyers, Adolf
Weber, Elsie Walberg, Laura Mojean,
Amalle Lleden, August Klaffket Eugene
Lutx, Thelia Fischer, Barbara Kegner,
Klelne Fischer, Fram Matthea, Ludwlg
Morlti and Otto Dlckman. In addition to
those named there will be a number of
citizens, soldiery, peasants, etc. William
Stoecker wllll enact the title role of Wil
helm Tell and Frits Kenke that of Gessler,
the tyrant. ...
.' An artistic souvenir program has been
printed, giving a graphic synopsis of the
drama, which follows the familiar story
of Tell known to ell lovers of liberty and
independence.
.'It Is i four-act drama. The first act
consists of four scenes; the second of two
and the third act of thr.ee scenes. The third
scene of the third act constitutes the central
Interest of the drama, wherein occurs the
Incident of ,Tell shouting the apple from
his son's head and his reply to Gessler's
tiuery that his second arrow "was for you
Gessler, had I wounded or killed my boy,
and certainly would ,not have missed."
The closing fourth act has but two scenes,
and the drama throughout Is of fascinating
Interest.
The production of this drama at the
Boyd this evening will conclude the mem
orial celebrations In honor of Germany's
greatest poet, Frederlch Schiller, by the
German societies of Omaha, which began
Sunday with tho planting of the "linden
tree" and unveiling of the temporary Schil
ler monument at Itlvervlew park, and
which was followed Monday evening by a
grand torchlight procession and other ex
ercises appropriate to commemorating the
100th anniversary of the poet's death.
A Most Excellent Remedy for Whoop.
Ins Cough.
(From Miner County Democrat, How
ard, S. D.)
It Isn't often that the Democrat takes
any stock in proprietary preparations, but
having had occasion to use Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy In a recent case of whoop
ing cough we found it a most excellent
remedy, and one that gives tho child im
mediate relief. Being pleasant to the
taste children do not object to taking it,
and it keeps the cough loons, and If given
freely and as directed, there is practically
no danger whatever from the disease.

Paving, sidewalk, sewer snd grading
specifications, as drawn by City Engineer
Rnsewatrr and approved by City Attorney
Brcen, were approved by the city council
luyt night by a unanimous vote.
Cltv Attorney Breen stated that the pav
ing specifications hnd been before the legal
department for ten days, that every oppor
tunity had been given to contractors and
others to pick flaws and that all had failed
to demonstrate unfairness or a liability to
shut any bidder out. A large delegation of
Improvement club members and individual
clt lr.cn applauded the action. of the coun
cil. They declnred they had waited two
years for paving, had money In their hands
to pay for It and all they wanted was for
the municipal government to give them a
chance to have the work done.
Section 7(1 of the building ordinances.
which prohibits boilers under the stage or
auditorium of public buildings, was re
pealed. Back, Dyball and Hoye voted
against repealing the ordinance.
The appointment by Acting Mayor Zlm-
mnn of Jnmes Y. Craig as a member of the
Park board to succeed himself and Nathan
Bernstein as a member of the Library
board to serve out the unexpired term of
Victor Rosewator, resigned, were confirmed.
Pome Contractu Let.
Three competitive bids were received for
lumber for sidewalk and crosswalk con-
I structlon, the contract being awarded to
the Chicago Lumber company, which aver
aged nearly 8 per cent lower on the classes
of stuff than the C. N. Diets company, the
next lowest bidders. C. Jensen bid on two
Items only, but was low on these.
The Nebraska Fuel company captured the
contract for supplying fifty tons of gas
coke, more or less, to be used in the Saddle
creek sewer disposal plant, at a price of
$4.38 a ton. William C. Goss, who submitted
the only other proposal, named a price of
$7.2fi.
The Juvenile court committee in a letter
asked that the city contribute $3,500 an
nually to an estimated cost of $10,000 a year
to maintain the Juvenile court and a place
of detention. The matter was referred to
the legal department without comment.
A protest against cutting the wages of
brick sewer Inspectors from $5 to $4 a day
was filed by the bricklayers union, the
reasons being that the inspectors employed
by the city on this class of work belong
to the union, and cannot accept less than
62 cents an hour, the minimum scale. The
Inspectors do not have to lay brick. The
I communication was sent to the engineer.

I Councilman Nicholson had a resolution
put through directing the chief of police to
eiiuirue tin uruinance wnicn requires uin
movers to clean pavements they have lit
tered on the same day the dirt Is spilled on

said that the condition of some downtown
streets has become disgraceful by failure
to enforce the ordinance.
Sidewalk contractors will have to repair
and put In good condition all walks laid
under guarantee on which the guarantee
has not expired, under the direction of the
engineer, according to a resolution adopted
which was Introduced by Councilman
O'Brien.

finK sues world -herald
t'onnty Treasurer Aska for Fifty
Thousand Dollars as Darn
ages for l.lbcl.
County Treasurer Robert O. Fink has
brought suit In the district court for $50,Ono
damages against the World Publishing
company. There are several different counts
In the complaint filed, all relating to cer
tain publications In the Evening and Morn
ing World-Herald of May 8, 4 and 1
Of the publication In the Evening World-
Herald of May , which by a good deal of
hocus-pocus mathematics figured Mr. Fink
out as filching many thousands from the
treasuries of the city and county which
under the law he could not possibly get,
the complaint alleges It was printed "wick
edly, maliciously and with the design to
hurt and Injure this plaintiff;" further, that
It was a "false and malclous Ibel."
Of the publication of May 4, in the Morn
ing World-Herald, it Is alleged to be a
repetition of the matter printed the day
previous, and one especially libelous para
graph Is set out This Is the allegation In
so many words accusing the treasurer of
having attempted to secure emoluments to
which he was not entitled by law. Plaintiff
specifically and flatly denies each and every
sentence and allegation of the publication
and denounces them at untrue, malicious
and knowingly made to hurt and injure,
his good name and reputation.
The complaint avers further that the pur
pose of tne publications compiainea or
was "to cause it to be believed of and
concerning the plaintiff that he had, by
some undue and Improper means, caused
and procured thi enactment of a law
whereby he would receive as compensa
ttion as county treasurer $25,000," when, aa
set out, his compensation Is specifically
fixed at and restricted to the sum of $4,OUO
under the law.

SURE DEATH FOR DANDELIONS
Method ' Is Prescribed by City
Treasurer Hennlntrs as
Always Certain.
"Tush, tush!" says City Treasurer Hen-
nings concerning the dandelion pest. "The
only real way and the only right way to
kill dandelions is to fill a lawn mower
oiler full of kerosene, go and get your
dandelion, push the oiler down into his
middle and squirt him full of petroleum.
Quickly he will curl oft his roots and die 1
not once, but forever and' there will be no
more dandelions in that spot. I'm an ex
pert on dandelion slaughter."

Announcements of the Theaters.
The rapid way In which seats are going
for amateur night next Saturday at the
Orpheum indicates a complete sell-out long
before curtain time. Many amateurs have
volunteered their services for rousing fun.
It promises to be the banner event of the
season at the popular vaudeville theater.
The regular professional bill will be gtven
first, then the amateur show. On Thursday
the regular mid-week matinee will be
given.
John Drew has easily maintained his
place at the head of the list of English-
speaking actors in his line. His individu
ality is strong to the degree that he stamps
each character he creates as his own, but
he has the temperament and the force to
make each of his creations stand alone,
so that he cannot be accused at any time
of merely playing John Drew. In his pres
ent play, "The Duke of Kllllcrankle,"he Is
said to have the best acting part ever
undertaken by htm; certainly he has made
In It the most marked success of his ca
reer. It la by Captain Robert Marshall,
who baa written a number of clever so
ciety comedies and who is recognized as
among the foremost of England's brilliant
stage writers of today. Mr. Drew is sup
ported by a splendid organisation, headed
by Margaret Dale, and will open a short
engagement at the Boyd theater on Fri
day evening, his stay including a matinee
on Saturday and Saturday evening.
