Superintendent Davtdcon favors th founding of a de-tinciuent school In Omaha, elleving a need exists f'.r such an Instl tullon arid that It would keep many boys and girls out of reformatory Institutions and do a great eieal of good In correcting the faulta of nature or- environment. He advocate a school conducted without spe cial rer train t or the exercise of arbitrary uthortty toward the pupil, but fashioned so as to meet the special requirement of children delinquent tn various ways or cte lrtur from the norna3 type. The school, be contends, should be free from the odium attached ti penal and reformatory Insti tutions and no sentiment permitted that dgrace is incumbent upon attendant. No estimates have been made as to the c..t of establishment and maintenance, these matters having ten left for general discussion after the matter pets before the Board of education. Sat far the b-I1Ibc Refers. Superintendent Davidson aa;-s much more interest has been created by the action at Doeier-ille regarding spelling reforms than! was created among the educators there. The recommendation that twelve more words be spelled in a new way in all published proceedings and correspond ence of the National educational associa tion, was not adopted by that department. It was proposed by Chancellor Andrews of the Vniverslty of Nebraska and got no further than at the round table at which reformed spelling was discussed. "Personally. I am opposed to Inaugurat ing spelling reform unless It is accom panied by broad basic principles and rules that can b applied generally and com monly." said Mr. Davidson. "I do not think that any rreat amount of good can result from trying to change our spelling by a dosen or so words at a time, selected almost haphasard and not conforming to any definite plan. In other word, the change must be broad and comprehensive and not by trying to change the spelling af a few words this year and a few more ix it year, and so on. "Sentiment at the meeting seemed to be pretty generally unanimous against the presence . snd effect of fraternities and Hororities in high . schools. Other cities liavc had a great deal of trouble over the question, particularly at Kansas City, nut, fortunately, Omaha has got along uy well e tar.. Horribly Bsrscs was C.

"Ml as HbWVs" at tbe lirwMi. This attractive and clever comedy fares exceedingly Well from the Woodward stock; company, although it does not by any means exhaust the strength of the organisa tion. The piece If modern, clean-cut and delightfully amusing, without having re- i course to tha farcical. Real humor in li i runs in a rich vela through all of the four ; acts. It gives Mis Lang and Mr. Morrison special opportunities and both develop their roles in a very satisfactory manner. "Miss Hobhe" is a satire on the so-called new woman, and the particular classification of what Miss Hobbe set out to be is appor tioned decidedly the losing end of the argument. After ' discovering that Miss Hobba believes all men to be hypocrites and thorough sirmers. Wolf Kingiwarl (Mr. Morrison) proceeds to demonstrate to the lady bow much her views vary from a sana acceptance of the conditions as they eaist. He succeeds. He certainly ought to, for Jerome K. Jerome, the author, gives the new woman small latitude to ventilate her opinions. She does put up something of a mental contest for a while, but Wolf is decrfctadly too clever in physical contrivance and intellectual exchsnge; also in preach ing sermons with object lemons. Miss Xiobbs starts out with her views perverted, and Miss Lang interprets well the young nomas who has followed Iter own cocksure notions long enough to make little, trouble, but not to a point where she is hide-bound by them and can't be altered. In a measure the role is a hard ona in which to retain sympathy, but by the aid of bar beauty and an obvious un certainty of assurance after Wolf has sought to trap her. Miss Lang succeeded. In fact, she compels one to take a heart burning Interest in the final happy outcome of the affair, rendering the role with marked Intelligence. Mr. Morrisons work goes a long way toward making the play a hit. He goes through scene after scene with a light hearted abandon and crisp wit that are captivating. Mr. Todd and Miss Hill do eflective and pleasing work as Mr. and Mrs. Fercival Kings earl. One of the big gest laugh of tha show is provoked by Grant Simpson as George Jessop in the third act by a broad comedy touch. Miss Ward is loveable, funny and happy as Aunt Susan, Miss Davis charming a MU11 cent Farey and Mr. Schoheld and Mr. Da vies acceptable in indifferent parte. Vaadevllle at the ( rrlrhtea-Orpkrim. The Orpheum opened the week Sunday with another entertaining and amusing bill snd at both initial performances the house was thronged. Some members are above the average and the whole is an adequate fuinilment of the prime mission of vaude ville to excite and amuse. Really there Is not a "dead one" or an idler on the list. The string begins to unwind at a most lively clip with the O'Rourke Burnett trio, father, mother and son, in some nov elty dancing work which merits the gen erous applause it received. The boy is about 3 or 11. but the little chap already is a worthy student of his parents' art and working between father and mother in a three-handed affair his little feet clat ter away with about as much dekterity as some older folks. Mildred Flora, an eccentric comedienne, is clever. She does soma neat tricks on a slack wire. also. Mitchell and Cain, or as the bill has it, The Frenchman and the other fellow," come In for a large share of the well earned cheering. They are fut,ny enouarh to "stay on" much longer than they do, and at that they didn't appear to shy at the lights any. This pair of pink or posies, aa tha taata may be, strike a rattier cordial spot right at the starts for they bring back that happy eld tradition of the "long and short" and mix up at least three languages in ways that amuse. Mary Dupont and company in John. W. Cope's sketch. "Left at the Part," Is only another method of introducing Willard Hutchinson and Miss Dupont, who proceed to get in on first money with a mighty rich little skit as incongruous as it is funny, being a burlesque on a marriage affair which comes so near not being the real hymen that a woman with a top hesvy temper makes life one unutterable horror for a dudy man with a Wall street name. Ferry Cor wey. a musical clown, and Chris Bruno and Mabel Russell do some very humorous things and the Watson-Hutchlngs-Ed-wards company gets under the wire at least a tongue ahead of some of the rest. This aggregation consist of Alice Hutch, inga. Ed Eda-ards. Harry Watson and a monkey, name not given. "The Vaude ville Exchange" is the title of the problem to which these star lend their talent and It s decidedly rich, as rich ss it is impos sible. A Fair of Flake- at the Km. Harry Vokee Is happy In having the as sistance of Willie Wert this season. West plays Harold, while Ward does Percy, In Just the same old way. It is a natural evo lution of the characters, or rather the In evitable progress of the pcir. Ward and Yokes made them famous in days of old. West and Yokes are adding to their ex- , prrience nightly. In many ways this com ; blnailon of nonsense and foolery has broad ened since last keen here, and with new song, new chorus inoteincnta and new lighting effects, it Is almost a new show. West is a most acceptable substitute for the original Haroid: Indeed, some go so far as to say that he is a distinct improvement on Ward. At any rate, ht i a low come dian of resource and apparent tact, and makes a lot of a liule in the way of get ting fteeh fun out of a somewhat shop om role. Mr. Yokes is what he has al ways been. Harry M. Stewart, who i the "Ylddisher" of tha troupe, is a worthy member of the trio. Between them they make a lot of laughter. Margaret Daly Yoke Is the real life of the occasion, with toe &ahr family talent for dancing and a reasonable excuse for a sit.xir.g voi -e. Sh leads a sprightlt and sl.apely chorus through two or three notable numbers and otherwise adds to the pleasure of the oc casion. The company is Urge and enthu siastic In Its efforts, and the whole was voted a suooeae by two large audiences at the K rug ye it relay. Miaa Bab While- at the sejs. Messrs. Nixpn A Z4mmennn restrained for tra seasons any impulse t send this production of theirs west, and It Is doing no real violence to truth to Bay that the prosperity or general happiness of the west wjuid not have suffered greatly if it had never been eent. A thin plot Is stretched through three acts of indifferent music and comedy of the simplest sort. The company in charge of the affair works In an heroic ay to give life to the lines and situation, but without any very marked succe. LOCAL BREVITIES.

BRICKS FALL CLEAR Of MORTAR IN PILE Great trend Assess ale Mltaess I alaae Eaperlaaeat la 'Way af lctreylBS 1 alaaaey that Has OatUied Isefalaeaa. A iare crud gathered on tut W street viaduct at 1'j o ciock yesterday morning to witness the lowering of the old square stack of the Hammond plant- Originally this stack wne one cf the highest in South Omaiia and it was the first, but since the build. ng came into disuse It has been sur passed ty the active coropaniea. It had gotten out of repair so aa to be of no further servioe. so when it was desired ta clesr the space for the Introduction of the new hollers and th more commodious new stack the National company began to look out for the tet means to lower the brick work. At first several feet were taken off by hand, but the process was slow. It was given out a few day ago that the company would dynamite the stack and bring it all down at once. About 1J feet cf the stack wss left in position. This accounted for the large crowd that assembled to see the bricks come down. r?rk. Jcr.nsr.u & Parks had charge of the work., and they had the as sistance of Mr. Chtistlanson. chief of con struction of the National company, and Messrs. Anderson and Gsrdener of tha local fores. The first step was the undermining cf on side of the stack ss far as safety would allow. Then a few sticks of dyna mite were placed on the other side. H. C Murphy wa given the honor of firing the fuses which loaered one of the old land mat ks and marked a new era In the activ. Ities of the Hammond plant and the in dustries of South Omaha. On the moment of the explosion the firm looking structure simply ditiaolved end dropped in a Bhape less mass of rubbish. Th blast was a perfect success in every wsy. Not only did the brick separate from the. mortar, but most of them fell uninjured and can be used again. In the place of the old stack the Na tional company will build a new 2(K-foot stack of large capacity. With the removal of this stack the most of the ground has been cleared for the erection of the new power building and some of the new con struction Is already under way. Quite a force of men is buKy clearing and exca vating on the ground, beside a very large force occupied in the main building. The construction of the new re-enforring wall on the west side of the largest building is almost completed. Tsi Firemen Hart. One or two narrow escapee on the part of the firemen were recorded at the Koutsky fire Saturday night and two were slightly Injured. Assistant Chief Fred Linn was one who fell one story and received several scrstches and minor bruises, but nothing of a serious nature. Jack McKeal. one of the firemen, u also similarly in jured. Lou Vanscoy fell into the fire and managed to come out without a scratch. With two other companions he volunteered to assist the department. The chief sent them up the stairs st the front of the building which hsd burned through near the ceiling of the paint store, but could be mounted from the bottom for about half the distance. He gave them a hose to handle while he went about other duties. When he returned he heard the men shout ing from the mslrs. He rwhed to the spot and was informed by Ihe two men who were left that Vanscoy had Just fallen over the top step of the partially burned stair into the fire. He ordered the men to throw the hose down at about the place where the man disappeared and ran down the steps to the first floor of the paint shop, where the fire wa rapidly working its way to the front. Here he met Vanscoy walking out of the flames with the remark. "They never touched me." So far as could be seen the man did not have a hair singed. The firemen kept a line of hose on the fire ail day ant? the ruin hue ceased to smoke. The Koutsky brothers, who own the paint store, are both out of the city, so it cannot be lcsrned what the precise damage to their stock will be. It was stated that there was an insurance of W.VI0 on the building and that Koutsky Bros, were Insured adequately to cover most of their loss. E. E. Anderson, on the third floor, manager for Schmoller A Mueller, had considerable household goods which mere destroyed, but these were also pro tected by insurance. The estimated loss by fire was about Uft.OMi. It is likely that at least fi."".! Is covered by the Insurance. The Stott Stationery company suffered a loss of about from water in the base ment and the Tcung Men's Christian asso ciation estimates its loss at about 130. which wa insured. Aaaay'BBoaa ircalar.

Quite a number of anxiou politicians visited Clerk J. J. Gillin yesterday and the object of their concern wa the opinion of City Attorney Breen of Omaha on the judges of election at the primaries. Ac cording to Mr. Breen the Board of Regis trars who have charge of the revision of registration are to act as" judge of the pri mary election. It has been the opinion here that the mayor and council should appoint a new and separate body for this work. This w as done last Wednesday noon. The clerk said he did not know . whafAt tomey Lambert's opinion concerning the point wa. not thst St would be at all affected by the opinion of Breen. Mr. Lambert stated last night that so far as the judges and clerks were concerned, he had no Intention of following the opinion of Breen: that Ereen had given out eight or ten opinions on the elerton law which had all been turned down by the supreme court. As to the point of swearing un registered voters, he admitted that Breen was possibly right in saying that they had no rirht to vote at the primaries at all. He did not give this as his official opinion, but expects to Investigate the matter this morning and report the same to the city clerk. At all events any one wishing to swear tn hi vote tomorrow will have to be able to prove his party affiliation by a reference to a poll book where he last voted. It is the apparent Intent of the law to exclude that class of voters from the primaries who do not take interest enough in them to see in good sen son that their names are on the registration lists. Rebllri Active. The usual lively Interest has attended all the meeting of the republican clubs during the week. Friday evening th Polish club met at tis hall at Twenty seventh and J streets and celebrated a great victory in advance. The meeting was one of unusual enthusiasm and remarkable for the large number of candidates present. Most of the candidates made short speeches asking the support of the club in the pri maries. Saturday night the Bohemhui Republican club met In Smkule's hall in Brown park. This is the newest .organisation in town, buf'lt also was most enthusiastic. The meeting was addressed by W. P. Adkins, H. C. Murphy and other candidates, and It Is apparent there will be a strong vote In this quarter. Testrrday afternoon the Lithuanians met In their hall on the west side and had a combined fiolitiral and all around good time. The membership is growing rapidly and after the primaries will increase still more. Plire Department Resert.

He also read th proof of th poll books and they were returned to the printers, who have had to work night and day to get the necessary printing don. Today the clerk will ask the police department for a special detail cf e fftvers to attend to th distri bution of the ballot boxes Tuesday morn ing. Several teams will be hired to expedite the distribution. strsl(ratlaa ( Vain. With regard to the specuiaUons among the voters and candidate of South Owaii. as to whether any person who had not been able la register hi vot on the regu lar day of regiatraOou. nor on ti day of revision, would be allowed 10 swear in iaa vote or primary day. City Attorney W. C. Lambert Monday morning Issued the fol lowing opinion, aocordiiif to which thti-e PTJ The "Discovery of the Soda Cracker will be no changes from the present ar rangements for such registration. The only thing will be the extraordinary precautions taken when such candidates apply before the city clerk. He sas: SOlTH OMAHA. March 1-3 1. Gillin. City clerk, viiy: Iv-ar bir Complying with your reiust lor our views in writing as to the rinht of one not repsicred to vote at the coming primaries, we submit the fol lowing: In State ex rel Adsir against Prexel. re cently rteeicled by our supreme court, and belr.K the last expression of our court on this question, the following is lound: "The conclusion reached in respect to the mat ter last discussed disposes of the objection that only those who have registered at the last general election, except first voters and those moving into the precinct since t.aid eleciiori. are tiermilted to vote at a primary election as therein provided for. It doe not appear to have been the legisla tive intent to exclude from voting at such primary election those not having registered at the lata general election, nor do we think it competent for the legislature to do so. Such election must be free to all who are other wine qualified to participate therein; where there is a failure to register, when good and sufficient reasons exist, this fact shouid not justify disl rancliise nient of the voter at such primary. State against Comer, Neb.. 3b&. The provi sions for registration tefore voting, as w have feeti. contemplated a registration on the same day as the primary election, and those provision having been eliminated, no obstacle in I lie way of registration, or the absence thereof, can prevent a voter other wise qualinod from casting a ballot at such primary election " This language is too plain to admit of douk.t. and it is unquestionably the law of this state that a qualified voter may. upon the showing of good and sufficient reason, vote at the primary election. However, 1 believe .that there is considerable discre tion vested in ou to determine whether or not tlie reasons asnigned are sufficient be fore giving the affidavit. To the end that fraud may not te practiced under this rather liberal provision of the law. it would s-em proj-r that utmost precaution be taken to de termine the sufficiency as well as the good faith of I he excuse offered for not reaieterine. tnquestionahly the two persons takina the oath with the applicant should be irecholde rs and should reside in such proximity to ttie proposed vote r a to exclude any aoubt of their knowledge as to the facts to which they swear to. With such precautions rigidly impose-d, the intent as well as the plain provisions of the law will be carried out to its full extent. Maavir City t.oaslB. Mr. W. Ptewart ha returned to Okla homa.
