! Music
i1 1
The reclUl given Tuesday night at the First
Baptlat church waa well attended and
moat heartily appreciated. The artists who
gratified completely the musical people
present were Arthur Ilartmann, the great
violinist, and Alfred Caliln. the very com
plete supporting pianist.
It Is seldom that the music critic of The
Bee applies the word great: It can with the
clearest conscience be applied In thla
case. The term great artist la often care
lessly used, but not so when It is used in
describing the personality and prowess of
Arthur Ilartmann. It might not be amiss
to speak of the "double-stopping." the "up
per harmonics." the "plsilcato" effecta and
o on. after the manner of learned writers
on the violin recitals, but let It suffice to
ay that here la a man who Is a player of
music, a musical player, a musician, an
artist
Well balanced ia he beyond all dispute.
Ills fingers are as sensitive as his ear, and
nla soul s made of music. But this fine
sensibility does not run towards eccentric
ity, which spoils so many otherwise Inter
esting artists. Ilartmann possesses repose
and tranquillity of manner to a marked de
gree, and withal he haa the true fire.
The favorite Mendelssohn concerto In K
minor was given with magnificent breadth
id with great clearness of tone In the
moat rapid rune and cadenxaa: in the
ever beautiful andante movement, the qual
ity of the singing tone was beyond the
power of describing In cold words. Instead
of the Faust fantssle, which was on the
program. Mr. Ilartmann yielded graciously
to requests and substituted a triple number:
Air from a concerto by Ooldmark: barcar
olle by Tschalkowsky and a masurka by
Zarayckl, dedicated to Sarasate, a most
Interesting and original work. The artist
gave a patriotically designed twist to the
tall of the program In the shape of a sym
phonic rhapsody, which Introduced Amer
ican airs to gladden the hearts of the lovers
of that style of concert music.
In the group "Vn Pensee" (Arthur
Nevln). "To a Wild Rose" (MacDowell)
and "Farfalla" (Sauret) the highest en
thusiasm of the audience was awakened
by the delicately apun effects which the
player wove.
Mr. Caliln waa beard to great advant
age In a Lls?t rhapsody, which he delivered
with tremendous power and dignity. The
"Papplllona" of Rosenthal waa aa the
fluttering of many butterflies on a sum
mer day. He also played the a minor
ballade with good effect, even If the piano
Hd waa Inadvertently left unralsed.
Miss Hopper, who presented this fine at
traction. Is entitled to the warmest support
of the community, and her next recital
will be that of Mme. Bloomfleld Zelsler, on
January 4.
PHYSIOLOGY OF INTEMPERANCE
Mies Marie C. Brehra Delivers Lecture
at Central Presbyterian
Thnrrh.
"The Physiological Phases of Intemper
snce and Their Relation to the Economic
Phases" was tlsb title of the lecture de
livered at the Central Presbyterian church
last night by Miss Marie C. Brehm, apecial
lecturer on aclcntiflc temperance of the
permanent committee on temperance of the
Presbyterian church of the United Btatea.
The lecture room of the church waa well
filled to hear the address, which waa de
voted principally to the aclentlflc aide of
the liquor question, the effocta of alcohol
on the human brain and body.
Some atartllng facts were brought out
and among them none were more note
worthy than the Inveatlgatlona of Dr. Mae
Nlcholl of New York, who recently com
peted the examination of K.000 school ehtl.
dren In New York City as to their mental
efficiency. Of those free from hereditary
sicononc taint, 86 per cent were proficient,
while of those with an herodltary alcoholic
taint 23 per cent were proficient and 77
per cent were dullards.
This Is but one example of the many
arguments proposed by Miss Brehm against
tho continuance of the liquor business.
The lecturer la on her way to California
and stopped over In Omaha where she haa
been before and haa many friends, In re
sponse to a special Invitation. From here
she goes to Salt .Lake City, where ahe
lectures Sunday night and from there to
California, where she will speak at Oak
land, the University of California and other
places.
COON GOES BACK TO KEARNEY
One of Nnmerona For aery Charges
Against Hint to Bo Prose
cuted There.
Sheriff Sammons of Buffalo county came
In from Kearney yeaterday and departed
last night, taking with him C. E. Coon, who
la wanted there on a charge of forgery.
Coon la credited with being a rather
clever Individual. Some time ago he went
to Kearney, representing himself aa an
eastern capitalist, with money to Invest in
an electric railroad. . He aucceeded In In
teresting a number of Kearney business
men, and when he thought the psychologi
cal moment had arrived he asked ono of
them to cash a check for him. He secured
several hundred dollars from various
sources and came to Omaha, where he was
a rrusted on a similar charge.
Coon ia also wanted In Memphis, Tenn.,
Detroit, Mich., and other places, and when
be gets through he will probably be an old
man.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Improvementi Nearing Completion at
. Omaha Packing Plant
POWER PROJECT MASS MEETING
Charter Revision Committee Is Called
fa Meet In the tonnell Chamber
Tnesdar Evening Pablle
Internal Improvemenla have been In pro
gress at the Omaha Packing plant for sev
eral weeks with the object of making the
plant up-to-dnte In all sanitary respects.
The days of the wooden floor In pecking
houses Is past. Most of the modern pack
ing plants, especially structures erected In
the last two years, have cement floors
throughout. In a plant like the old Ham
mond property, the original plan of struc
ture was not of .a kind to support heavy
cement floors "without a vast amount of
reinforcement. This would amount practi
cally to reconstruction. For this reason the
asphalt floor was substituted. This is
lighter and quite as sanitary.
The work of putting them In In various
departments has almost been completed.
When this is done the plant will be classed
entirely modem In every respect.
While the new plant has been perfected
with the exception of a smoked meat de
partment, which Is planned. The old plant
from Thirty-first to Thirty-third on P
street has been altered and fully half of
the original buildings taken down. It has
been proposed to sell the old wooden beef
kllling department. It Is valuable as sal
vage lumber only.
Meeting to Dlsenss Power Proposal.
Sentiment Is much divided over the pro
posed Nebraska Power company's proposi
tion to furnish South Omaha with a power
plant, supplied from the canal st Columbus,
using the water of the' Loup river as the
motive power. Under the latest proposition
the city is to make all paymenta on the
principal investment, amounting to $2,000,
0UO from the proceeds of the sale of power
and light. It Is proposed, however, to re
quire tho payment of Interest on the de
ferred, payments. Thla would amount to
over J100.000 per year.
A meeting for the discussion of the
scheme will be held at the council chamber,
November 19. at 2 p. m. It Is expected
that tho representatives of the company
will be present as well aa the repreaenta
tlvea of the Omaha Electric Light and
Power company.
Iteese Known Here.
A. K. Reose, superintendent of the Nelson
Morris packing plant at St. Joseph, who
was killed Monday afternoon by a rising
elevator, which crushed him between Its
floor and the calling cf the room In which
he attempted to take the elevator, was a
manager of a department In the Hammond
plant here years ago. He lived at that
time at Nineteenth and I atreets. He had
charge of the export pork department.
From that position he waa promoted to
the auperintendency of the Nelson Morris
plunt.
Charter Revision Meeting.
J. M. Tanner, chairman of the committee
on charter revision for this city, has called
a meeting for Tuesday, November 24, at
the council chamber. The people are dis
posed to have a little more to aay than
formerly concerning the laws. One point
much discussed la the problem of personal
injury suits growing out of defective side
walks. In South Omaha the annual damage
suits amount to $200,000. Thla results In
actual damages to about $10,000 which the
city is required to pay. The business gives
opportunity for much connivance In the
settlement of clalma, whether or not any
such settlements are affected. It Is there
fore proposed to ask for a proposition like
that In effect in Omaha, a law exempting
the city from liability unless a notice ot
the particular defect where the Injury
occurred has been filed wtlh the proper
authorities at least five days previous to
the accident. This law haa the effect of
almost wiping out the damage verdicts.
More c!ear and perfect laws governing the
levy of special Improvement taxea to pay
the cost of paving will also be up for con
sideration. Hotel Gneat Robbed.
E. T. Miller of Miller's hotel, reported to
the police yeaterday that someone had en
tered1 his hotel during Monday night and
took a suit caae containing nearly $40 worth
of clothing belonging to W. T. Arnold, a
guest. Mrv Miller suspected a young man
who haa been around the hotel of late and
the police are making an effort to locate
him. He haa been In South Omaha since

At the Theaters
World Tonro at the Krag.
Lyman C. Howe, with his "personally
conducted world tours' in moving plcturea
made supremely real," la the offering at
the Krug last night and tonight.
Moving plcturea are not the novelty they
once were, half a dosen places In Omaha
showing them the week through at prlcea
within resch of the street urchin. There
fore, when an established theater glvee up
two nights to them In place of a dramatlo
attraction It may be presumed they are
out of the ordinary. In the case of Howe's
plcturea this Is true. Such pictures have
probably never before been shown to the
amusement lovers of the city.
Primarily they are pictures of travel, of
strange and foreign lands, dlhnpses of un
familiar peoples and cities which only the
few have been able to visit.
Views of the crack regiments of the Brit
ish army on dress parade opened the even
ing. Bugle calls, the clink of the bridles
and sabers, the sharp command of the
officers, all In unison with the views, gave
a realistic effect unusual In such pictures.
Then came etreet scenes from Naples.
Rome and other European cities, and very
little Imagination Is necessary to give the
spectator the thought that he Is merely
looking from a window at the actuality and
not at a mere picture.
Many other lands are visited and there
re many humorus features. Some of the
latter, however, border on the common
place, they may be aeen anywhere, Mr.
Howe. Is at his best In hla vlewa of travel
and here he Is unexcelled.
He will be st the Krug again tonight
with a change of program.
ELKS BEFORE JIM JUBILEE
Hltehrnck Will IfsTe to Ride the Big
Goat Mailt of the Demo
cratic Ratification.
The Jlmocrats are proclaiming abroad
that Congressman Hitchcock will attend
the big Jollification and ratification meet
ing of that club In Washington hall Fri
day evening and that he will moke a
speech to the faithful. But "there'a many
a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip," and the
congressman ' may not be able to attend.
And this Is the reason why:
During the campaign when the congress
man and A. W. Jefferls were busily en
gaged In snaring votes, they were en
snared by a bunch of loyal Elks and both
of them put In their applications to loin
the lodge they could not very well refuse
In a time like that. The lodge meets on
Friday evenings and the congressman and
the would-be congressman, together with
sundry other men who as yet are not
privileged to wear the antlers, have been
notified to present themselves before the
lodge for a ride on the goat when ths
lodge meeta this week.
All lodges have goats, but the Elk goat
Is said to be an Improvement on all other
makes at least those who have bumped
the bumpa by the aid of this pestiferous
beast testify to this fact. Well. Congress
man Hitchcock Is to take a ride on this
fearful goat Friday evening. Afterward (If
he Is able) he will attend the Jlmocrat
blowout.
Governor-elect Shallonberger, the three
new atate senators from this county, and
others will address, the meeting. After
wards a banquet, with plenty of Ice water,
will be served.
TAX SALES BEAT WHEAT PIT
City Hall Is Scene of More Excite
nient Than Balls and Bears
Make;
Talk about the-wheat) 'pit! It Is not In
It as far as excitement la concerned with
the tax sale now belne- conducted hv tho
city and county treasurer In the treasurer's
omce in tne city hall.
Crowded1 against the Iron grating a horde
of hungry buyers of tax titles fight and
push and shove to get as close as possible
to the aperture through which B. C. Miner,
clerk, reads the description of the property
upon which taxes have not been paid and
which can be secured under tax sale upon
the payment by another party of the taxea,
providing the original owner does not re
deem the property within a given period.
Mr. Miner reads the description In an even,
sing-song voice and dots not pause between
descriptions unless one of the buyers calls
out.
'Benjamin," or "Security," or "Burns."
together with dozens of other names, are
yelled Into the ear of tha clerk, more often
than not eight or ten call out simultane
ously, speaking merely the name, it being
understood that tho speaking of the name
means that the man or company to whom
the name belongs will pay the taxes. When
a dozen yell at the same time the man with
the strongest pair of lungs gets the plum,
for the clerk writes down the name he hears
above the din and the clatter and the con
fuaion of tongues.
The sale begins every morning at 10
o'clock and continues as long aa Interest is
shown by the purchasers.
FORGETS HISJJAME IN WRATH
Cheyenne Man Writes Postonlee, hot
Is Too Mad to Sign Ills
Letter.
The Omaha postofflce is Just In receipt of
a telegram aa full of Indignation as a
democrat after election. It is from a
man In Cheyenno. He sends a copy of the
telegram by mail In order to give It addi
tional emphasis.
The man claims that he had directed the
Omaha office to hold his mall here fot
further orders and that later he would
write, directing the mall sent to Cheyenne.
The telegram and Its mall replica are
all right, but the Indignant writer forgot
to attach hla signature to either and the
postofficu folks at Omaha are a little un
certain whether to aend the entire batch
of dead letter mail to Cheyenne for the In
dignant person to select his own particular
mail from, or wait until he cools off enough
to send his name.
"This Is Just a samplo of some of the
kicks we receive.' sad Assistant Postmas
ter Woods rd." and is in keeping with the
reason of many of them. For instance,
here Is a bunch of letters of Just this
morning's mail, mailed at the Omaha post
office. Some of them are not addressed
at all, others have no postofflce on them,
some are not stamped and so on. Probably
these very letters aro of extreme Impor
tance to the writers snd the Postofflce de.
partment will, of course, be blamed by the
writers for any failure of their delivery.
There Is nothing on the envelopes to indi
cate the writers and our only recourse Is
to send them to the dead letter office."

Ordinance Repealed.
"We do not consider It advisable to va

Committee report signed by Thomae Mc
Govern, Teter Elsasser and Lee Bridges,
committee on street Improvements, and pre
aented to and adopted by the city council
last evening.
The democratic city council has felt the
lash of the county grand Jury. It has dis
covered that Its direct violation of the city
charter cannot be continued unnoticed. It
has decided to pay more strict attention to
law in the future, or at least "at this time"
while the grand Jury la In session. '
The O'Keefe Real Estate company sent a
communication to the council last evening
asking that a triangular atrip of ground
on the southeast corner of Twenty-third
and Cass streets be vacated In Ita favor.
The communication was referred to the
street Improvement committee, of which
Thomas McQovern, singled out to do jluty
before the grand Jury and explain the un
lawful vacation of city property. Is chair
man. The committee promptly decided not
to comply with the request and brought In
a report to that effect. The report was re
ceived and adopted without the quiver of
an eyelash on the part of a single council
man. But this waa not the only grand Jury
sting which the democrsttc council at
tempted to extract by means of resolution.
Squatters to Bo Ejected.
A petition from the Ueorge Real Estate
company, which laid dormant for a time,
was last night referred to the city at

engineer to at once cause the removal of
piles of lumber belonging to the Chicago
Lumber comosnv and onrunvlna eltv land I
