SOME QUEER MOVES IN THE PARK CASE City la a Bad Shape to Meet tho Con tratloa of Hash Marphy la thas Missouri Aveaao Paving; ' I Material Matter The people of South Omaha are watting with considerable Interest the outcome of the Injunction proceedings which ana to be tried today before Judge Redlck's court. This trial concerns the purchase of Syndi cate park and la for the purpose of set Una' aside the action of the council. It was agreed by resolution at the last council meeting that the city should employ special counsel to conduct this case. It Is ex pected that tha Arm of "Lambert & Win ters will have charge of the case, although this was not fully decided last night. It la likely therefore that the council will seek a continuance for the present. If the contention that the pork already belongs to South Omaha Is established by the plain tiff, as he makes deposition. It is hard to see just why the city attorney or the spe cial counsel should take any great Interest In the case. It would be a great saving to the city to possess this park without cost The land .company which sold the park Should be on the anxious seat. It waa cur rently rumored yesterday that the land com pany's attorney waa to be employed by the city aa special counsel, but this waa not corroborated by the statement of J. H. Bulla, chairman of the financial committee, last night. Mr. Bulla said: "We expect 'to hire Lambert4 & Winters If possible." H. B. CTeharty was In Lincoln and has been for the past week. - J. J. Breen, who waa one of the moet radical advocates of A Voice From ; the Stomach A nioodlran Fight Between a Tablet and a Habit The Tablet Wins. At the Sgf of ,11,' Clarence had good digestion. Hs had gastric Juice that could dissolve doughnuts and turn apple-sklus Into good blood corpuscles. . At tha age of 24 he . began to be pro fuse about the waist and lean backwards. He also began to cultivate several chins. In his new-found pride he began to think tt his duty to gorge himself on every thing, the good and the bad, for appe tite feed on appetite and every good thing Is abused. ' His picture showed that he took on weight after he put his collar on. , At the aga of !l Clarence married and went to boarding. On top of all this, he attended oyster suppers and wine din ners, which reduced the else of his col lar from 1H to IS. With still abiding faith in the strength of his stomach he gulped his meals, and chewed them after ward!. i At the age of II Clarence began to hear 341 Inward voloa a warning from the stomach. After each meal, he would fel bloated and belching became a habit. He began to be a light eater and a heavy thinker. He tried to think out a cure, for now he would sit down at his meals absolutely disgusted at the thought or sight of anything to .eat. He would sit dowa at hla meals with out the trace of an appetite, just because It was time to eat. He would often feel a gnawing, unaat Isfled "still-hungry" feeling in his stom ach, even 'after he was through eating, whether his meal waa well cooked or not And he suffered a good many pther things with his stomach that he could not explain, but that made him grouchy, miserable, out-'o-sorts and generally sour on everybody and everything. Finally he read an account, something like this about the truly wonderful re sults obtained from . Stuarfs Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach trouble, dyspepsia, and so on. He bought a t"o box at the drug store, and took the whole box. When he started, he had little faith and less appetite. When he finished he had absolute faith and more appetite, and more good cheer. Things began to taste different and better to him. Now be has no more dyspepsia, no more indigestion, no more loss of appe tite, brash Irritation, burning sensation, heartburn, nausea, eructations, bad mem ory, or loss of vim and vigor. Remember, one Ingredient of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest for you S. 00 grains of food, Just as it did lor Clarence.

The east alders, however, are back of the present Injunction proceedings, it is aaia uu over 1100 has been subscribed for the purpose. In addition to this the whole east aide has threatened openly to secede, and go In for annexation to Omaha. The matter Is not an Idle threat and the people In that sec tion of the city are thoroughly In earnest. The First ward would carry tor annexation two to one If It were put to a vote today. Worried Over Pavlna Case. In the matter of the injunction brought by Hugh Murphy It Is predicted that the city will again be In a difficult position. He seeks to restrain the city from Interfering with him in the removal of paving mater ial from Missouri avenue. When the case shall be brought to trial. It Is said that the loot estimate of the city engineer, amount ing to 16.200, and which was allowed by the city council, will be brought forward proof that Mr. Murphy still lacks that amount to reimburse hint for the work and material expended in that street. The coun cil revoked Its action In allowing this es tlmate through fear of threatened Injunc tion proceedings. Nevertheless It will be made a pretty strone point In evidence. If It Is entabltafted, then It will bo a hard mat ter for the engineer to account to the city for the estimates, the grand total of which amount to $12,700. Only two blocks on one side of the street car track is laid, and the neceasary material still lacks consid erably of a sufficient amount to complete the paving. Gradlnar Work Enjoined. Mr. McDonald of the firm of McDonald & Book haa secured a restraining .order preventing the city or Its contractor, Dan Hannon, from griding the alley between Twenty-second and Twenty-third and I and J streets on the ground that he has not been sufficiently remunerated In the award of the appraisers for the damage the grad ing will do to his property. He claims that tha appraisers In the first Instance allowed him 1103, but that a later council, with a new board of appraisers, cut the appraise ment to 135. He wants the former award endorsed. Work for Humane Officer. Several of the government men engaged In Inspection In the stock yards and pack ing houses have been inquiring If there were such a thing as an organisation of the Humane Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The occasion of the remarks lies in many Instances of un necessary brutal treatment of animals des tined to slaughter in the pens of the stock yarda and in the alleys and chutes of the packing houses. It Is a government reg ulation that all live hogs which go Into the scalding vats shall be sent to the con demned tanks, but this Has not .entirely prevented hogs reaching the scalding water alive. One hog Is reported lately to have been so much alive that It Jumped clear out of the tank and ran around the killing beds. Boys who are hired to drive cattle along the chutes have been seen to de liberately punch out the eyes of the help less cattle with sharp stloks. Perhaps worse still, if anything. Is the handling of cripples from the cars. They have . been known to He on the platforms where they are unloaded with broken limbs, and to remain there all day long, unable to rise. A man waa seen hauling a live steer with Its head bent under Its body and unable to do more than kick a broken leg, from which the bare bone protruded six or eight inches. There Is no possible excuse for this kind of action, according to the state ments of the government men. The small est amount of effort would make the hand ling ' of, these unfortunate creatures an act of mercy Instead of unfeeling brutality Magio Ctty Oosaln.

AUDIENCES IN BOTH INSTANCES ARE LARGE Opera Gfvea Excellent Interpretation Bath Masteally and Dramatically, Taken aa a. Whole, la Both laataaeoe. The Savage English Grand Opera com pany gave 1U greatly looked forward to performance of Glacomo Puccini's "Madame Butterfly" Wednesday afternoon and even Ins at Boyd's theater. To Omaha's credit be It said the audiences were very large and most enthusiastic. There la nothing abstruse about the great Italian's music. The tempi which the American company use make Butterfly In spots more like a light than a grand opera. When Puccini came to this country to direct his operas he surprised everyone by saying "Slower! Much slower!" A gTeat discussion was precipitated, some liking not at all the slow, dramatic Interpretations of "La Bo heme" and "Madame Butterfly." The work of the Savage company leaves one perhaps w . .r "nl" . . r "TTT : mucn or me interpretation cn.p. were places where It undoubtedly lost in beauty. The score was sung and played so rapidly many of the intervals and effects were blurred. The production as a whole Is wonderfully beautiful, worthy In every way of what we I have come to expect from the Savage man agement. The setting of the stage; the Japanese pictures first the Japanese house. terrace and garden, with its outlook on the Nagasaki harbor; then the Interiors of Madame Butterfly's house were exquisite In every detail. A fitting background for the beautiful, tragic little figure who In three short years, and by the time she was 18 tasted all that life has to offer of Joy and grief. Miss Easton Wins Applause. Miss Florence Easton as Cho-Cho-8an was unusually effective. ' Her voice Is high and clear and absolutely true. The role of Butterfly Is very high and sustained and difficult to sing. Miss Easton not only sang well, but her acting was exceptionally good. . She haa a most sympathetic con ception of the part; her personal beauty and grace add to the picture. Her transition from a gay, careless little geisha in the first act to a permanently saddened and In the end hopeless woman was portrayed by MIbs Easton with subtleness and heart breaking fidelity. In the second act where Cho-Cho-San tells Susukl that Plnkerton will surely return and draws in Imagina tion the manner of their meeting Miss Easton reached a dramatlo and telling climax In her singing for which she re ceived a very spontaneous outburst of ap plause. "Madame Butterfly" Is really a one-part opera all the Interest Is centered In the heroine Miss Easton more than commanded, delighted and absorbed atten tion for her careful and artlstlo work. Chansre la Disappointing. Alas! for some reason known to grand opera annals, Mr. Sheean did not appear The part of "Meester B. F. Plnkerton was taken by an understudy, one Mr. Tay lor of extreme youth, and a sweet but wooly voice which absolutely refused to carry over the footlights. The tenor part of the opera In the afternoon might al most aa well have been left unsung in many, many places. Mr. Taylor couldn't be. heard, Ptnkerton's role Is not a long one, but H Is. full of beautiful passages that are neceasary to a harmonious whole. When one can only see that the tenor's mouth is open it Is disappointing. Miss Houston as Susukl did some very good work. Her voice Is heavy and of a pleasing quality. It failed to blend very well' with Miss Easton's in the flower duet. The two voices were ' absolutely unlike. wna wt7M nnm A thm I gems of the afternoon, because of the man ner of the Interpretation. Miss Houston was Very sympathetic in her Idea of her role. We all liked Susukl and wished In her faithful love that she might have helped Butterfly. Seme Dellghtfol Moale. The IntermecBO at the end of the second act waa one of the greatest delights of the performance. The women humming with closed Hps sounded like some rare instrument. The effect was ethereal and fairy-like. Poor, lonesome little Butterfly with her heartache, watching all the night In vain for her faithless husband I As Sharpless, Mr. Brownlow made a most favorable Impression. He haa a pleasing personality and a rich baritone voice, which he uses to good advantage. Steven Jungman did full Justice to the part of the marriage broker. Miss Ada Baecker did very well with the ungrateful role of Kate Plnkerton. The chorus work, as usual with the Sav age companies, was a deHght. Evening Performance Better. The evening : performance, under . Mr. Rothwell's direction, was far and away better than the afternoon interpretation. Mr. Rothwell gave the score a slower and much more effective reading. His climaxes were stirring and his lighter, work full of poetry and Inspiration. Mr. Maclennan gave a very good and u HOSIER RYE THE PEOPLE'S PURE, PERFECT AND MOST POPULAR WHISKEY old all If tlM cfe and itj Jobteim. fa Lavamam SOS, in !', MA. AA AAA satisfactory account of the tenor role. Ills j voice Is strong and rich and true, though more dramatlo than lyric He la, besides. a good actor. The scenes and duet with Butterfly at the end of the first act were given with tremendous dramatic effect. Miss Kena vivienne as Butterfly waa good, but she lacked In drnmetio power. Her voice Is rich and true, thaugh at her entrance with the chorus she sang her last phrases badly off the key. This fault, how ever, did not again show Itself. Her work was conscientious and very pleasing, but not deep. She and Mr. Maclennan did some splendid work .together. Butterfly's singing In the duet after their marriage was unusually fine and effective. The flower song with Suiukl was well done. Miss Behnee was a sympathetic Busukl. Her singing was good and her acting ef fective. As Sharpless. Mr. Richards was a youth ful gray-hatred consul, who sang a good deal off the key and performed strange antics with his vowels. The role of the consul Is very grateful. Mr. Richards made poor work of his opportunities. Child Deserves Praise. The little son of Cho-Cho-San, called Trouble, deserves much praise. A more natural, sweet little child It would be hard to imagine.

The noise was disgraceful. May we by our hearty patronage and ap preciation bring the Savage Orand Opera oompany to Omaha every year. MART LEARNED.

Socially "Madam Butterfly" was one of the events that will be remembered when the season of 1907 has passed. The evening performance brought out ot e of the largest society houses of the year. Apparently Omaha's fashionable set forgot all about Its resolution to keep Holy week, for prac tically "everybody" was there and In sorrie of the handsomest costumes that have been worn at the theater this year, too. There were few parties, however, though little groups of congenial friends were scattered all over the house. Just sitting together. was all. Among these were Mrs. Arthur Brandels.

RASMUSSEN WINS HIS CASE Mil It Maa Gets Permanent Injunction Against the City Health Department. A temDorarr injunction secured some time ago by Rasmus Rasmussen, a North Omaha milk dealer, against City Health Commissioner Connell and Special Officer Harry Wocldridge prohibiting them from destroying milk which was of more than CO degrees In temperature, was made per manent Thursday morning ny Judge Red- Irk at the request of Rasmussen's attorney, F. W. Fitch, and the costs of the litigation assessed against the defendants. The litigation arose from the fact the coloring matter waa placed by the city health officials In milk on Rasmussen's de livery wagon last fall and the milk then dumped In a convenient gutter because the temperature was over 60 degrees. Ras mussen lost out In the lower court and ap pealed the case, during which time a tem porary Injunction was granted to restrain Health Commissioner Connell and his agents from acts of a similar character for like reasons. Upon showing made by Attorney Fitch and the appellant Judge Redick granted the Issuance of a permanent Injunction on the ground that the destruction of the milk by the insertion of coloring matter or otherwise was not necessary unless in case of prevailing epidemic of typhoid fever or Infantile diseases. Under the order secured Health Commis sioner Connell still has authority to de stroy milk of temperature over 60 degrees when an epidemic Is In progress, but the wanton destruction of the liquid because of high temperature at other times la pro titbits. DRIVERS MUST BE CAREFUL Chief Donahae Points Oat Necessity Streets. "Teamsters, automobile drivers and others must begin to learn the habits of the streets as taught In the large cities," said Chief of Police Donahue Thursday. "This town la becoming too large and traffic on certain thoroughfares too great to continue In country-town ways. We have a good ordi nance for the regulation or traffic, which provides that all vehicles must pass on the right side of the street in the direction In which It Is moving. Drivers should In turning corners stay as close to the curb as possible, and not go out Into the middle of the street before turning. And the habit of driving back and forth diagonally across any street must be stopped, or serious dis aster will soon result." Chief Donahue said he could use hslf a dosen men on downtown crossings to handle traffic only. Sixteenth street at Howard, Harney, Farnam, Douglas and Dodge streets, he said, should have a man at each corner, but with the number of officers he has now he can do nothing. Drivers, towever, he says, may help avert accidents by observing rules which main tain in the large cities without being com pelled to do so by policemen. Klalle amd Kjapp t J t ' S'''"'oow , . - ' .

Thl conference re- suited In the moet encouraging outlook for this addition to the Omaha park system that has yet been manifested. At the close of the discussion Commis sioner Cornish, who has given this project special and earnest study, offered a motion that the city engineer be requested to draw plans In accordance with a blue print sub mitted by the commissioners and on which had been outlined the tracts of land It Is believed will have to be appropriated to carry out the Cut-Off lake parking project. After Engineer Rosewater has prepared the plans the matter will be referred to the city council for passage of necessary or dinances and appointment of appraisers. The work will then be prosecuted with ex pedition. Mr. Cornish assured those pres ent that the money would be forthcoming, but whether It would be raised by bonds or some other means he was not prepared to announce. Promoters Express Thanks. The assurance that the park board would carry out the project was a source of much gratification to all. W. I. Klerstead, speak ing for the Fifth Ward Improvement club and others, thanked the commissioners for their co-operation, and In turn Chairman Craig of the board thanked the Improve ment club for the unceasing seal mani fested in pushing the scheme to Its pres ent stage. Only proposed plans of the new park have been considered, but It Is believed the pro posed plans will be followed In a' general way when the land is actually acquired by the city. The plana considered Thurs day morning showed a 600-foot strip of land extending around the north aide of the lake, this strip comprising 23 acres. This strip Includes thirty acres extending from. the west end of the lake to Locust street. It is proposed' to connect the park with a thoroughfare from Sherman avenue, near Ames. Besides the 223 acres mentioned, a tract north of the lake and west of the large Ice house across (rora the beach will be acquired. Just how much land will be acquired there will depend on circum stances, but the Idea Is to have the park open out at this point and afford space for playgrounds pv even encampments. Fifty Thousand Dollars. The proposed first expenditure on this new park will be $50,000. With a boulevard ex tending to the park and a street oar line across from Sherman avenue, the com missioners believe this will be a notable acquisition to Omaha's park system.

This Is the property over which Mr. Cathers and the city of Omaha had a battle royal In the courts, and Mr. Cathers won. The Park board decided to take no action In this matter, believing citizens should ap peal to Mr. Cather's sense of propriety In this Instance. Mr. Cornish's plan Is to establish a walk along the lake, then a bridle path a short dlHtance away, a road for park travel and a speedway, having the, ' last mentioned course the farthest away from the lake. A wooded background la contemplated for the 800-foot parkway. Mr. Cornish believes the possibilities for making n great park of this are legion.
