Telephone FrancMse Election to Use
the Australian Ballot.
MACHINES ARE NOT AVAILABLE
Sealed glace City Kleetlaa aad Co art
Order Wonld Be Required to Opea
Them ITatll Expiration of
Thirty Day.
The city official have decided to allow
the election for the telephone franchise to
proceed under the Australian ballot system.
Instead of using the voting machines. One
reason for this Is that the machines were
locked after the municipal election, and the
thirty days required by the statutes have
not yet expired. It would require an order
of the court to release the machines before
the required time. This action would re
quire so much trouble that the old ballot
was determined on. especially since th
telephone company had requested that the
old system of ballots be used. .The reason
for this, Is that the county bond election
of the same date will use the Australian
ballot. It will avoid confusion If the two
elections are In the. same form.
No (onrlulou Reached.
"The meotlng of the Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners Thursday night was
purely advisory," said A. H. Murdock Fri
day morning. "Several questions were
taken under consideration, but we have
reached no conclusions. We expected to
hear charges against Anton Bazaar as to
aulllng t" minors, but the plaintiffs failed
to appear. '
"In the proposition of restricting' the
area in which Saloons may do business, we
have deferred . final action until next
Wednesday night. In the meantime we
will make a personal examination of the
proscribed districts. It Is not likely, how
ever, that the board will be deterred from
the determination to restrict the area. I
agree with W. C. Lambert and I think the
whole board Is of .the opinion that it is
about time public saloons should cease to
invade the residence districts of the city.
"As-yet none of the saloon men has de
posited his bonds nor paid his license fees.
We will not take up the matter of protests
until this Is done. Several protests have
been filed. These are chiefly by The
Omaha Bee regarding legal advertising."
The licenses protested are Joseph Uvlck,
Joe Vosacek, P. J. Martin. O. G. Farmer,
M. P. Brennen, Joe Perdlrts. Dell J. Green,
John Kiellan, H. H. King, Tom Lukowskl.
Christ Hansen, Barney Cogan and Mike
Sexton. The ground of the protest la that
the applicants did not advertise In the pa
per having the largest circulation in Doug
las county as required by law.
With the advice of the board, Chief of
Police John Brlggs has Issued to all mer
chants, business men and residents of the
business districts strict orders to clean up
the garbage which has accumulated In
large quantities In many back yards of the
city. The residence districts are for the
greater part well taken care of already.
These garbage heaps, if left, would soon
become the breeding piece of flies and
germs of all malignant warm season dis
eases. Prosecution will follow neglect of
these orders.
Looklac Iato Charity Aeeonnts.
The charity money spent by the old city
council during the month of March
amounted to over 11.200, of which $784.73
was allowed. It cannot be contended that
the money was needed In smallpox cases,
for there were not over six or seven cases
In the month. One of these cases was
fatal, but required no charity. The rest
were 'mild. The entire charity appropria
tion provided by the charter is oonly TOO
for' the year. The bills for' charity are a
confusing jumble. In. many cafes the
names of the recipients were omitted, and
only the name of the grocer or dealer who
delivered the supplies appears on the ac
count. Councilman John Larson has been
Investigating charity cases which have
been receiving much aid during the last
two years, with the result that some able
bodied people will have to go to work and
the charity expenditures will take a shrink.

The senior fair opened at 3 o'clock this
afternoon at the high school with auspicious
signs for its success. The fine weather
arrived Just in time to ' persuade the par
ents and friends of the students to come
out to see the result of the last month's
planning and effort, and they found them
selves Uioroughly repaid.
, The campus and building never looked
handsomer and in the main hall a fair
dream of flowery decorations in white, old
rose and maroon greeted the visitors. The
ceiling decorations consisted of a white
trellis-work trimmed with Innumerable col
ored chrysanthemums and handsome furni
ture and rugs with potted plants completed
the effect.
In the adjacent corridors beautiful art
posters and pennants were offered for sale
by dainty maids and a "lovers' lane"
trimmed with freshly cut boughs provided
a cool retreat for those in search of re
freshments. '
On the second floor, which was reached
by two flights of stairs furnished with
oriental ruga and fancy sofa pillows, the
color scheme was purple and white. In a
tiny Greek temple decorated with the school
colors and many small incandescent bulbs,
seversl young ladles with their hair in
Psyche knots and their gowns fashioned
after those of ancient Greece, served punch
to the thirsty, while across the hall candy
was dispensed from a pretty little Dutch
mill.
In room 804, the large study room on the
seoond floors "The Revenge of Bhari Hot
Bu," a two-act Japanese play, was pre
sented. The cleverness of the perform
ance was noted by all who saw It, and
great credit Is due those who helped In its
preparation and presentation. The scenery
and handsome new curtain were also spe
cial subjects of notice.
In room 12 on the second floor of the old
building aesthetic dancea were given by a
number of the senior girls, to the delight
of the visitors, beautiful electrical effects
being secured by throwing colored lights
on the white dresses of the young women
as 'they went through the various steps
and tableaux.
One of the biggest treats of the whole
fair was found cn the third floor of the
old building In room 31. where an excellent
minstrel show vied with a well drilled
Japanese chorus to gain the applause of the
large audiences that attended. ' The shows
were alternated during the afternoon and
were- eminently successful in pleasing the
visitors.
A large number of young people with of
ficial looking badges marked "Reception
Committee" succeeded la making the thou
sand or more persons who visited the fair
feel at home and enjoy themselves thor
oughly.
The afternoon session closes at I.'JO
o'clock and the doors will be reopened
again at T this evening.

It ws a massive and magnificent audi
ence which assembled at the Auditorium
Thursday night to do honor to the Royal
Kronoberg Regiment band of Sweden,
which Is touring this country, states the
program, under the auspice of the' Crown
Prince Ouataf Adolf of Sweden.
The bandsmen should certainly ba well
pleased with the reception given them by
Omaha. The Swedish people turned out
In full force, and with the other Scandi
navian representatives and the genera;
music-lovers, an audience of several thou
sands was on hand with enthusiasm all
uncorked and ready. Such enthusiastic
applause was most Inspiring, even to
those who were In the audience; what
must It have been to those on the stage t
Even in th- midst of some of the selec
tions th spontaneous desire to express
approval could not be restrained, and in
the "Potpourri ofver svenska folkmelo
dler" the muslo was punctuated vy half
suppressed bursts of applause, as though
th Joy of hearing the old melodies was
struggling with th anxiety to avoid los
ing a note of th chords that breathed
th fragrance of the homeland. Many a
heart beat quicker and many a thought
went flylrg to th beloved country far
beyond the ocean as the strains of "Ak
vermeland du shoene" floated through th
vast audience and seemed to caus the
new flag of Sweden which hung abov
the stage to wave gently In welcome
greeting from the fatherland. But when
that beautiful, that most lovable of old
airs, "Du Gamla du frisks," sent forth its
message to the ears and hearts of th
listeners and brought back the wodnrous
singing of that never-to-be-forgotten
singer, John Forsell, in memory of a gala
night of song some years ago at the
Crelghton theater, th spirit of the occa
sion could no longer be restrained and
the pent-up mother-love and home-love
and love of country burst forth and
Omaha was la Sweden.
Th band Is a magnificent organization
and it is within the easy bounds of truth
to say that it simply eclipsed al that was
promised for It. It Is really, truly a gre. t
band. Its makeup Is splendid; lUr ma-
I
Ing of tone colors is most satisfying.
This Is helped very materially by the
aforesaid makeup, for It has a fine
quartet of French horns, no less than
four trumpets, three bassoons, three cor
nets, three trombones, six clarinets, con
cert flute, piccolo and' oboe,, two tubas
and .two monster Kaiser Hellkons or hell
con basses, and the usual Instruments
of percussion In the way of drums, bat
tery, etc
The conductor. Erik Hoegberg, Is a
master of his art, and his forces respond
absolutely to his inspiring and magnetic
conducting. He is full of enthusiasm
and vitality, but never overdoes the thing
in gesture or attitude. He must be a
splendid musician.
The Wagner number was given with
the true spirit of the master and tho
"William Tell" overture, the "Carmen"
muslo and the Orleg number were su
perb. However, these are only alluded
to because of their greater familiarity,
for each and every number was a grati
fication and the folk-music and that of
the national style was a very Interesting
revelation.
Madame Hoegberg, who has a splendid
of soprano or dramatic soprano
quality . and tendencies, filled tho Audi
torium, easily and was greeted with much
applause of long endurance and ' with
royal floral tributes. The aria and tho
group of songs gave her a good chance to
display various styles .of work and sha
took advantage of It. K.

"Just a Woman's Way," an emotional

production is well staged and Is presented
by a capable cast, some of whom have

further her own ends, but In the final :
a reconciliation between the husband and
