BEST EVER, THE VERDICT OF ALL
Attendance at "First TTIant" t'nas-
aally Lare and PrumgM El
eeptlonal Interest In Alt
Sar-Den This Tear.
The man who started tho old saw. "There
Is nothing new under the sun," evidently
did not know of the Ingenuity of Ous
Rene and the framers of the ritual and
"vork" of Ak-Ban-Ben. Not one of the
6"0 present at the "first nlghf but would
horestly say he bad seen something new.
Many "first i nlghters" there were too,
iff re In fact than belonged to Ak-Sar-Ben
during Its first years, and they were given
s show which Is the fruition of years of
scheming and designing by the best In the
country. Even the regulars who have
gone to the den from year to year rmed
In open-eyed wonder at the changes which
had been wrought In v" dsn. for no ex
pense has been spared j .ake the "ehow"'
complete In every detail.
The loyal subjects of King Ak-Sar-Rcn
had expected to see something good pre
pared for their entertainment, but they
did not look for the magnificent exhibition
which had been arranged. None was
spared, for It wss the first night, and
everyone waa put through the early work
ings of the ceremony, but all came out un
scathed. The working crew of sixty-five
of the faithful subject of the king bad
labored assiduously In rehearsing their
parts until all went off well, although the
management promises that the wheels will
work much more smoothly next Monday
night, when the "Bell Ringers" ar put
through their sprouts.
Best Ever. I Verdict.
B. F. Thomas wa grand mufti and hi
resonant voice was hea.d above the "ohs"
and "ahs" which were heard from all
parts of the big den as he was telling of
the wonders of the Kingdom of Quivers.
"Its the best ever." "I never saw any
thing like It." "How can Gus Renie think
up such deviltry?",' "Tho green horse Is
outdone." These Were some of the few
exclamations ot surprise heard on all sides
and surprise after surprise was unfolded
to the view of tho astonished spectator.
A new rule has been Inaugurated at the
den this year and that Is that there are to
be but two speakers each night and that
their talk Is to be limited to ten minutes
each, after which Gu Renze is requested
to turn lose the dogs of war and crush
the Intrepid speaker who dares to speak
beyond the limit.
Frank T. Ransom and C. S. Montgomery
were the speakers Monday night and both
gave some good advice for the boosters
for Omaha to follow.
"One needs must be Impressed with the
difference in Omaha now and twenty year
ago," said Mr. Ransom. "Then all were
knockers and such a thing as pulling to
gether was not known. Under the Impetus
of Ak-Bar-Ben during the last fourteen
years a change has been wrought and It
cannot be said that citlsens of Omaha are
knockers. If we all pull together we can
get the streets of Omaha repaired so we
will not have to cross the river tOiCounctl
Bluffs when we want to hold our parades
this fall. We Invite people to Omaha for
100 miles In every direction and we want
our streets right, even If we have to start
a concerted kick on the city council.
"Under the auspices of Ak-Sar-Ben
Omaha has become a real city and 1
rapidly taking the place it ought to take
among the growing cities of the west."
" gaceeaa from Fallnre. '
Carroll &' Montgomery told of the fright
ful condition of Omaha's streets! twenty
nine year ago and then briefly described
the advances which had boen made until
the hard time of 1$D3 came along and the
people of Omaha realised that something
had to be done to save the city.
. "The first move wss that of the Omaha
Commercial club to get the state fair to
Omaha," aald Mr. Montgomery. "That was
done and the fair waa a failure, but out of
that failure grew this magnificent organi
sation of the Ak-Sar-Ben, which waa
organised primarily as an aid to the state
fair. The fair failed but this order has
always prospered and always will as long
as such enthusiasm is shown by the lead
ing spirits of Omaha.
"That was the real start of Omaha and
since that time there has been unanimity
of action and there Is no place in the west
where such a unanimity exists as right In
this magnificent body of men.
"Omaha Is the most conservative of all
the western cities of the same class, al
though It Is progressive with a progress
which Is not too rapid. All this Is a subject
of congratulation. No one now wanta a
boom. We want a steady, conservative
growth, which Is coming by the aid of
those who have come lately to . Omaha.
Omaha Is the center of the richest agri
cultural country In the world, for corn Is
king, and that 1 what we grow most
abundantly."
1 The grand mufti urged all the members
to be present each Monday evening and to
bring to the den any strangers who might
happen to be within the city's gates..

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Deadlock in the City Council Finally
Broken.
HASBUSGH VOTES FOR SALARIES
Taker of School Census Instructed to
Make a Record of All Defec
tive When Examining
School Children.
The ' deadlock which has existed In tho
affairs of the city council was practically
broken last night by the action of Council
man John Hasburgh, who came over to the
republican ranks with the exception of re
fusing to allow the salary of the city meat
Inspector, for which office there are two
contestants, Charles Remer and J. D.
Jones. The former Is the old appointee of
Mayor Hoctor and the other la the ap
pointee of Mayor Koutsky. Out of consider
ation for his scruples In this matter the
salary for this office was held off the ap
propriation sheet. All the other bills for the
last two months, Including all the other
appointee of Mayor Koutsky, w rs allowed.
This practically amount to a confirmation
of all these appointments.
Thi break in the deadlock wa received
with manifest relief by a large lobby, but
no one gave audible expression. Bills to the
amount of $30,000, including salaries snd
claims, were allowed.
The break of the deadlock also opened up
a flood of other business and the city clerk
will have his hands full for three days
getting through with the heavy grist of
routine which waa heaped on his office.
The city attorney made adverse report
on half a dosen claim for damage,
amounting to $60,000 or more for. alleged
personal Injuries. Mary arul Frank Zle
llnskl, $20,000: Charles Bcattergood. $2,000; J.
L. Agnew, $1,000; Boy L. Brockert, $10,000,
were among the claimants. All are for per
sonal injuries except J. L. Agnew's claim.
The ordinance was introduced repealing
the former ordinance which created the
office of city welghmaster and the office
will again be paid by fees.
The items of routine Included payment of
the city's interest obligations, amounting to
$7,391.75.
The city clerk was authorized to arrange
for the sale of 200 city maps at a rale of
$2 each, the proceeds to be turned Into the
general fund. I
The council agreed to meet as a board of
equalisation June 9 and 10 for adjusting the
special taxes on a number of grading dis
tricts. Mrs. Mary Beal was allowed damages for
the grading of the street next to her lots
in accord with the report of the appraisers
In the case. v.
The city engineer waa ordered to estab
lish tho grade of Fifteenth street from Y to
Harrison and of S street from Eighteenth
to Twenty-fifth.
The city attorney was ordered to draft an
ordinance governing the closing of streets
for street fairs and fixing a license fee for
the privilege.
J. H. Koplets, B. E. Wilcox and J. J. Fitz
gerald were appointed appraisers to adjust
damages, If any, to property on Thirty
sixth street from Q to Harrison by reason
of a recent change of grade of that street.
The other democratic councllmen, George
Hoffman and Matt Peterson, knowing that
Hasburgh had decided to vote with the re
publican, absented themselves from the
meeting.
Athletic at Ht(k School.
The student body of the high school Is
closing up the athletlo affairs for the yesr.
In sll departments of athletics the South
Omaha High school has been reasonably
successful. Prof. R. H. Johnson was re
cently elected athletic manager. He will
have charge of all branchea of athletics
next year. At the same meeting George
Rnpp was elected captain cf the foot ball
team. He will be a candidate for the posi
tion of quarterback. Prospective material
for r.ext year will Include a number of the
present team. Among those discussed are
Btryker, Gall, Finch, Shulta, R. Knsor,
Meany, Finley, Clark. Copenharve, Tyner,
Henry, and In addition it la expected that
four or five strong candidates may de
velop before the aeason opens. The loss
by graduation this year Includes Barclay,
T. Ensor, Lehmer, Dlrkman and Green.
All of these were strong players. The out
look for next year, however, Is counted
good.
Yesterday the high school basket ball
team had its photograph taken for th
commencement issue of the school paper,
the Tooter. The team also elected a cap
tain for next year Floyd Finch. H mad

from the squad, but th other, Btrkyer,
Dlckman, Bhults, Foley and Finch, will
be In school. Among other promising can
didates for th team will be Clark, Tanner,
Finley and Campbell. An effort will be
made to perude Finley to remain In
school, a ha 1 counted a star performer
in any branch of athletics. The school will
have a track team next year.
