Although several barrels of eclat and other royal compounds were opened, every Initiate was brought to after powerful antidotes wese adminis tered. It was a great snance; there Is no getting around that. No one tried to get around It. They could not get around It. On the right of them, on the left of them, on the front of thorn, on ths back of them, all around them, were howling dervishes and blood-thirsty Indians. "Let no guilty man escape," was the slogan, and under the leadership of Slgnor Iueaslona the poor tenderfeet were given a merry chase. While It would be lose mnjeste to divulge what really did happen to the unfortunates, It would be no breach of confidence to say they had several occasions to think of their past sins. Three hundred and eighty-two Is the number now enrolled on the books at Sam son's office. Most of this number were put through last evening. Among them were Major R. S. Wilcox, Dr. W. F. Mllroy, Joe Harkcr, F. I Campbell, J. W. Thomas, E Haiiey and H. K. Frederlckson, all of whom were convinced that It Is not all of life to live nor all of death to die. A most pleaant feature of the occasion was the presence of the Royal Canadian band from Krug park. Under the leader ship of J. M.

AFFAIR LOOKED FOR TUESDAY NIGHT Counrllmen Decline to Discuss All Details on Grounds that It Would Hot Be Busi ness Policy. Councllmen who oppose a '$M-rate and a five-year contract for street gas lighting as desired by the gas company say that com petition for this service will be offered, probably at the council meeting Tuesday night. They decline to give out all the facts on the ground that It Is nut good bus iness policy to do so, but say an outside firm in which Ohio men and capital are In terested will offer to do the gas lighting at a price per lamp annually between $-"0 and $. The competing company has been working on the scheme for months and pro poses to buy gas from the local corporation at commercial rates and still cut the charges to the city from tb to JS under what they are now, guaranteeing as good, if not better, service. President Zlmman, Councilman Nicholson and others of the council have been aware of the possibility of an offer of this kind for some time, but have not seen fit to give out the Informa tion. According to reports at the city hall the gas company Is going right ahead with Its plans to gather In the five-year con tract, fueling sure of at least five votes In the council. It Is given out that Vice President Clubaugh has loaded himself up with facts and figures by means of which he proposes to make Zlmman's arguments look very bad. Zlmman Is crammed to tho muzzle with contrary figures, and If a meeting In open committee or regular ses sion Is brought about the Togo-KojeBt- vensky affair will no longer hold the palm for spirit, smoke and flame. Mayor Moores won't go on record as to what he will do with the gas contract If It gets up to him. Under the new charter all sach contracts must be made by ordi nance, thus giving the people at least a week to come In and make a noise, or do other acts of protestation If they don't like It. Things may pass off quietly Tues day night, with explosions to follow during the week and on the succeeding Monday aft'. moon. The mayor, however, remains serene and says he will deal with tho proposition when It gets to him.

TWELVE THOUSAND AT SHOW People Crowd the IHg Tent and Scores Are Turned Away at Nltrht. The management of Sells Bros. & Fore- paugh's shows had put in several hun dred extra reserved seats and Increased the capacity of "blues." as the ordinaries a.j-3 called, but even this enormous capacity was not sufficient for the demand made upon it last night; at the opening perform ance! It was, but last night people had to be turned away. Press Agent Baker re marked, incidentally, that for the turning away to be done at the second perform ance was not a bad commentary. From the tremendous demonstrations of the vast assemblages It must be concluded that the popularity of the show Is a fixed quantity In Omaha. The three rings, two platforms and side lines were kept constantly occupied, and the man who didn't get his money's worth fell asleep Just before the show began. A wonderful assortment of features the Russians, with their fantastic dances; the little Japs, with their phenomenal display of strength and agility; the Aurora (111.) Zouaves, with rnllltary maneuvers almost too Intricate and accurate to follow; tho wonderful trapeze work. Juggling, the trained seals, elephants, horses and last, but as strange as any, the Spanish bull of learning, all these and more, too, fairly toyed with the fancies and Imaginations of those who tried to conceive how such things could be. Nothing could have been more Inspiring than the artistic prelude to the main per formance. Military of various nations en tered to their respective national airs and the unfurling of the flag of each; the Rus sians were received with cheers and these cheers deepened as the Japs followed, but like a mighty storm these cheers swelled Into a roaring as the troops of Uncle 8am came marching In, Old Olory was unfurled and the strains of the "Star Spangled Ban ner" swelled forth. In the line of Ameri can soldiers were the Blue and the Gray, and as one feeble old veteran of the Army of the North stepped out from his line and greeted a hoary-headed soldier from tho south the volume of the applause which had but subsided again burst forth.

Park Commissioner Cornish says the Du- mont tract, lying between the southeast boundaries of Rlverview park and the river, will cost from 812,000 to 815,000, or about $300 an acre. This Is his opinion, as the land must be condemned and appraised If the council follows the park board's Idea that the tract should be acquired to enlarge Rlverview park. 'It Is not so much that we need the land to extend the park," says Commis sioner Cornish, "as the fact that we must get control of the property In some way If we wish to prevent the possibility of Its being occupied for railroad yards, tan neries, factories or other Industrial pur poses. Any ono of these would Injure Rlverview as a park. NEW KANSAS CITY EXCHANGE National Board of Trade as Viewed by Members of the Omaha Board. There Is conBlderablo talk about the grain exchange and the offices of local commis sion Arms about the newly established Na tional Board of Trade at Kansas City, the organization of which grew out of the re cent supreme court decision forbidding bucket shops to use the quotations of the Chicago Board of Trade. The report Is that two Omaha firms, said to have been denied the right to the Chicago quotations, are to be members of the new board of trade. The general opinion expressed about the local exchange Is that the new venture will not prove much of a success. There is al ready one established and recognized grain exchange in Kansas City, keeping closely In touch with Minneapolis and Cnrcago. The traders say that another would not be patronized except by those Arms who are now branded as illegitimate concerns or bucket shops. Such Arms In the various cities of the west and south which will do business with the new board are Inconsid erable In number In comparison with those using the Chicago quotations. "Of course there will be no question of legitimacy as long as the board uses quota tions of Its own, which It claims It will do 1 with actual cash grain transactions at Kan sas City as a basis," said a local broker. Success with them Is merely a matter of patronage. It is my opinion that they will find It very difficult to absorb the existing hoard of trade. Their evident assumption Is that they might be able to do it, but they cannot have any faith In the assump tion. It will be Just as hard to establish quotations independent of Chicago and Min neapolis. The officers of the new organiza tion, if they are quoted correctly, say that Kansas City Is the largest primary grain market of the world. Is not Minneapolis a primary wheat market? Has not Omaha handled but very little less grain In the last four months than Kansas City? The Mis souri town cannot hope to become a second Chicago as far as grain quotations are concerned."

Samuel Krezleman appeared before Judge Day In the criminal court Monday morning and pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting half a dozen colored boys to steal oats from a railroad car, which he bought. The court, through an Interpreter, gave Krezle man a scorching warning on the enormity of his crime in urging young boys to steal so that he might get their plunder for a few cents. He had even furnished the sacks and his only excuse was that he had seen others do the same thing. Attorney McCoy, for Krezleman, repre sented to the court that the accused Is not mentally bright, having met with an acci dent which has affected his head. The court took this fact Into consideration In imposing a fine of 8100. It was ordered thst Krezleman pay 810 of the fine at once and the remaining $90 be suspended during good behavior. The judge impressed on him that this $9t tine will hang over him for two years and can be enforced at any time he sgaln transgresses the law within that limit. .WJOO BACK Is an ordeal which all women approach with indescribable fear, for nothing compares with the pain and horror of child-birth.
