. Esrly In the week they all received a little
note, asking them to follow directions, the

store In Bouth Omaha at a certain hour
Wednesday evening. Thla they all did
where they found further directions await
tng them to take the car to Omaha and
there atop at a drug store at Sixteenth
and Howard streets. On tntering the cn
the conductor Immediately rang up twelve
fares, but the teachers eould not learn
who had paid them. On arriving In Omaha
they found other notes addressed to each
containing admissions to the boxes of the
Ejrwood thester. They all attended the
pljy, enjoying the novelty of their name
Iras entertainer Immensely. After the first
act large quantities of candy and other
refreshment came to them In the same mys

GERMAN PLAY AT THE BOYD
Milwaukee Theater Company Given
Dranaa for "chiller Fnnd
Benefit.
Last summer the Germans of Omaha, on
the hundredth anniversary of the death of
the poet Schiller commemorated bis death
with appropriate exercises. By the presen
tation of 'William Tell" by local talent at
the Boyd a Schiller monument fund was
started, with the Idea of ultimately erect
tng In one of the public parks of the city a
suitable memorial to the great German.
For the benefit of the monument fund the
local German societies secured the services
of the Milwaukee German Theater society
to play a two night a' engagement at the
Rovd. Iast nlsrht was the first. The com
pany presented the popular German play.
"Die Herren Soehne," a folk play in three
acts, by Walther and Stein. "
The scene Is laid In Berlin, and the story
deals with the troublea which arlae when
the sons of the shopkeeper and trades
men, after their years of compulsory mili
tary service, return to their native towns
with the Idea that they are somewhat bet
ter than they really are. Wilhelm Rommel,
son of Frederick Rommel, the butcher,
when he cornea home from the army, re
fuses to don the butcher's apron and marry
the girl of hla father's choice. He prefers
to become a scholar and starve. The young
man Is coinDelled to leave his father's
house, but after showing his grit In his
chosen way of life a reconciliation Is ef
fected and he returns home. Rudolf, son
of Glmpern, another tradesman, la the other
"hcrr sohn" of the story. His trials are
caused by an unconquerable aversion to the
study of Isw. but he solves bis problems by
marrying a rich girl, who Is the niece and
ward of the old butcher Rommel. Good,
hearty German humor runs through the
whole play.
Tonight the German farce, "Dls Dopuel
Ehe," will be presented.

HISTORIC WESTERN EVENT IMMORTALIZED
Irving R. Bacon latches Spirit
Famons Dnel Between BnaTalo
Bill anal Yellow Hana,
of
A valuable painting just completed by
Irving R. Bacon, depicting the famous
duel between Colonel W. F. Cody and the
Indian chief, Tellow Hand, In the Sitting
Bull campaign of 17.. Is on exhibition
In The Bee building. Mr. Bsron Is a well
known artist of Detroit, who some time
ago was commissioned by Edwsrd Rose
water to do an olli representing a western
scene In which Colonel Cody figured, to
occupy a psnel In The Bee rotunda. Just
to the west of the rear stairway. Mr.
Bacon has gone to Munich for a long stsy
and the picture ordered has been delayed.
He has sent the painting first referred to,
which Is called "The First Scalp for Cus
ter," to hang la the panel until the other
la finished. The fsmous scout will give
several sittings for he letter to the artist
In June.
Everyone who hss seen "The First Scalp
for Custer" hss been struck with the grim
and sinister spirit which It breathes. The
treatment of the sky and clouds and
handling oY the hills and lights In the back
ground, coupled with a remsrksble vital
ity In the two figures battling from
their horses, yards apart, make the paint
ing one both to hold the attention and
provoke thought and study. The savagery
of the old Indian- wars is borne home to
the observer. Colonel Cody Is In the act
of killing Tellow Hand's horse, which Is
falling mortally wounded. To the right
on the hilt the officers of the Fifth cav
alry are watching the duel and to the left
part of 800 Cheyennes are waiting for
the end of the light. There Is the tense
ness of death dealing combat, man to
man, In the work, which Is valued by the
painter at $2,000.
Government May Own Picture.
In loss than a week after It waa com
pleted, representing more or less- constant
work for two years, Mr. Bacon was of
fered a high price for it. He says, how
ever, that it is his ambition that the gov
ernment should buy it, and he believes
Omaha Is the beat place to leave It until
it Is disposed of.
Naturally such a picture has a story
worth the telling, and It is needless to say
Its origin Is perfectly authenticated. The
duel occurred July 17; 1876. It was wit
nessed by General Wesley Merrltt, General
Charles King, General Carr, Lieutenant
Forbush and others. A full account Is con
tolned in King's "Campaigning With
Crook," and in "The Great Salt Like Trail,
by Cody and Inman, hooka which are In
the public library. After he killed Yellow
Hand, Colonel Cody scalped him. He was
the only Indian that Buffalo Bill so treated.
as he did not believe In scalping. The
duel was fought a day or two after the
scout heard cf the massacre of Custer and
his men and he wanted revenge and took
It. Therefore, a real scalp was taken In
the name of the dead General Custer.
Dramatic Finish to Flaht.
As soon as Yellow Hand waa killed by
the unerring aim of Buffalo BUI, who by
the way sits on the horse In the picture,
just like hundreds of thousands have seen
him when smashing glass balls In his
Wild West show, the Indians tried to cut
him off. He lost his horse through a stum
ble. The troops came up just In time to
care oft the Cheyennes and Cody got away
with his scalp. The event was afterwards
dramatized and played by Cody.
The painting is five feet six Inches long
and four feet six Inchts high. It is beau
tlfully set In a gold leaf frame and plush
lined shadow box, worth 1120. furnished
with an engraved gold plate briefly desert b
Ing the event.
Altogether It is an acceptable substi
tute, while the picture ordered is being
done and well worth a trip In The Bee
building to Inspect it.

John Johnsun, aged about 10 years, of
Council Bluffs, was almost Instantly killed
by a stab wound Inflicted in the left
breast by an unidentified colored man in
front of 1X3 Harney street at 7 Saturday
night. Johnson went around the corner of
the house after being stabbed, where he fell
dead. At the same time the victim was
stabbed, he was also shot at by Dell
Wiseman, also colored, an Intimate friend,
but the bullet missed. Wiseman, thinking
he had killed his man, and the real mur
derer, then made their escape and are
still at liberty, although the police are hot
on the trail.
Coroner Bralley was summoned and took
charge of the body. An examination showed
only the wound In the breast and a cut in
the left hand, probably made aa he was
trying to defend himself. An lnyuest will
probably be held Monday.
The story ss told by Mrs. Wiseman and
witnesses to the murder, is that John
Johnson was greatly Intoxicated and proba
bly picked a quarrel. He was seen to
stagger across the street to 1?1 Harney
street, to the unidentified man. The
latter wss heard to tell him to "go away,
you're drunk." The man did not go, how
ever, but tried to take a drum majors
baton from the man, thJ latter
having one in his hand at the time. A
slight row waa ralaed. and at this Juncture
Wiseman suddenly appeared around the
corner of the bouse and fired point blank
at John Johnson. He reeled and fell Im
mediately, aad as no one noticed that the
other man hail drawi a knife and cut at
close quarters. It waa supposed Johnson
hsd been shot. This report was sent to the
police, who were soon on the scene.
The chase after the fugitives was im
mediately taken up, and traces of the men
were found. One arrest was mad in
Council Bluffs, and Detective Donohoe was
sent to Identify him, but found him to be
the wrong person. The dead man was part
Mexican and part negro. He served in the
I'nited Ststes army, much of the time in
the Philippines, until a few months ago.
He was unmarried and was employed at
laying asphalt paving In Omaha.

E. R. Brando, manager of the National
Lead company, received Saturday afternoon
a late report on the tin market, n'hlch has

an normua advance.
"My Informant tell ane," aald Mr.
Brando, "It was reported t him by wire
Friday that th tin market was cornered.
He doea not know what thla means, unless
it means there Is a scarcity of tin at. any

last week, which brings It up to 4thi cents
a pound at St. Louis, aaalnat 10 cents a
pound at St. I-ouls a year ago. The ei
utmtly bigb prices now ruling ax due to

this metal. In this connection antimony,
which sold a little over a year ago for
about S cents a pound, now sells for f

DIRECTOR FOR PLAYGROUND
Mn to Look After the Children and
Their t.smea Will Re
Km played.
A trained director to have charge of
the playground at Twentieth and Harney
streets will employed for the summer
season by the OmsJia Improvement club.
This was docided st a meeting last night
and negotiations are already under way for
suitable peison.
It is the intention of the club to make
this a model playground and fully up to
the standard of other cities. It Is deemed
Unwise to have the children congregate at
the grounds without proper supervision and
for this reason a specialist In this kind of
work will be secured. Ho will not only-
have charge of the conduct of the boys
and girls, but will direct their games and
recreative sports.
The grounds are being Improved this
spring and will be much better equipped
by the time school closes than they were
last year. One of the most Important ad
ditions Is a shower bath for the boys. A
large amount of apparatus has been secured
by Mr. Heller, who Is looking after the
grounds, practically without cost. Most of
it is donated by business Arms and citizens
who are interested. The club Is trying to
work along the lines on which similar play
grounds are conducted In Denver, St. Iniils,
St. Paul, Boston, New York, San Fran
cisco, Chicago and a number of other cltiea.
The provisional government formed by
the boys of "Juvenile City," which has
control of the young people who use the
grounds Is Just getting Into operation and
Saturday the first trial was held by the
police Judge. A boy snd a girl were ex
polled from the grounds for using bad lan
guage. The Juvenile policeman who made
the arrest had considerable trouble and had
to call .his companions to assist him. The
offender wss taken before the Judge, Mr.
Heller acting in that capacity, and declared
guilty, and both he and the complaining
witness, who was also found guilty of the
same offense, were expelled until they
proved they could behave themselves.
The citizens Include all children who sign
the constitution, but woman suffrage Is not
in very high favor. The voting Is restricted
to boya between the agea of 8 and Is. The
official roster Includes all of the usual city
officials and a council of seven members.
The grounds are divided into four wards,
with a policeman In each ward. The force
Is In charge of a chief and all the officers
will wear stars.
It is believed by those In charge that the
Juvenile city will tend to develop a spirit
of responsibility and a respect for author
ity not cultivated by playgrounds where
there is no such control.

More pew carriages and rigs are being
bought In Omaha this spring than for the
last seven years, due largely to the Im
petus given to fine horses and rigs by the
Omaha Horse show the last two ' years.
Although the automobile Is taking a prom
inent place as a means of running sbout, it
Is by no means supplanting the horse, for
there are more good horses In Omaha today
than ever before. The riding school, which
has closed for the summer, also had a re
juvenating Influence oit msny of the ma
trons and many more new saddle horses
have been bought lately thun In the last
dozen years In Omaha. W6men are especi

which he puts to good use.
Dr. Elmer R. Porter has a new two

buggy, with a coachman's seat behind.
Colonel John Van Ranseller Huff, assist
ant surgeon general, V. S. A., stationed at
Omaha, has a new couch gear station
wsgun and fine double harness to match.
The list contains the names of but a few
of the many who have come out with new
rigs this spring. As the open season comes
on, many more probably will be seen on
the fine drives and boulevards, for which
Omaha is becoming famous. The parks
are the only place for a parade of fine rigs
tn the city, but if the present plans carry
Omaha will have race meet this summer
which will give all a chance to bring out
their best and vie with their neighbors In

SENIORS' FAIR IS A SUCCESS

LARGE CROWDS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
Afternoon and Evening; Yon as; Folks

Thousand Friend and 1
Relative.
The high school senior tried a new
scheme- this year for raising money to
present the alma muter with a memorial
gift, producing a May fair with varied
and numerous amusements, running all the
way from pure art to minstrelsy. The
Innovation was a success. Big crowds of
old "grads" and townsfolk poured through
the gates all yesterday afternoon and
evening. Accounts were so many and
complex that the gross receipts cannot
be calculated at once, but the managers
said they had made more money than
seniors In years gone by. Several thou
sand individuals went tu see the fair.
Decorations of flags, rugs, flowers, coxy
corners, Incandescent lamps and green
bowers helped to make the spacious halls
and library of the new high school build- j
ing exceedingly attractive. i ne noys in
the manual training department built a
tiny Greek temple, which was placed un
der a stairway and used for the srt and
pennant booth. I'nder the opposite stair
way was the apron booth, and In the
recess a gypsy tent, where fortunes were
revealed for a price. In the center of the
main corridor was a long table, double-
decked, loaded with fancy work of all
kinds.
Mwldrns Serve llellcaeles.
t'pstntrs senior maidens robed and rouged
ss Japanese served lies and cake from
the prettiest nnd cosiest coiner of all, and
at another tasteful booth certain young
ladles, wholly lrresponc Ible -and without
fear of consequences, peddled out IM)
pounds count 'em of homemade candy.
